Power of the region: RLCS 2025 NA Open 3

As an esports region, North America has four slots at the upcoming offline tournament Rocket League Birmingham Major 2025. One goes for NRG, which is currently the best NA team — signing the former G2 Stride roster was such a good idea.

The Rocket League Championship Series 2025 (RLCS 2025) open qualifiers in North America should determine three other Major participants. In addition to this, it’s a chance to witness the general power of the NA region. Can the teams beyond just NRG be a real threat on the international scene?

The official Rocket League Esports channel on YouTube broadcasts the final Playoff matches. Also, you can watch RLCS 2025 NA Open 3 right here, as the stream is embedded below.

The gap between the first team on the leaderboard and the rest of the qualification contenders is pretty big — at least before RLCS 2025 NA Open 3. 

Spacestation Gaming started RLCS 2025 super promisingly. They even defeated NRG in the Group Stage of Open 1 and finished that qualifier second. But then, the team could not make it even through the Swiss Stage of Open 2. This inconsistency is rather disturbing.

The Ultimates shaked between finishing 2nd and 5th-6th. The same goes for 9Lives, but they went from a better performance to slightly worse. Complexity Gaming couldn’t jump higher than 3rd-4th: NRG stopped them on the last tournament stages.

RLCS 2025 NA Open 3 is another challenge for the top NA Rocket League esports teams. It’s the last one before going to LAN and facing international monsters, such as Karmine Corp, Team Vitality, Falcons, and FURIA.

In the table below, you’ll find all teams qualified for the Group stage, their final standings at RLCS 2025 NA Open 3, and total RLCS points earned in Split 1.

There are two groups at this stage of RLCS 2025 Open 3: eight teams in each, and only four can advance to the Playoffs.

All the participants have a second chance. One loss is just dropping to the lower brackets. After that, a lost match means elimination. No one wants to experience that in the final qualification for the RLCS 2025 Birmingham Major, especially the top teams on the NA leaderboard. 

The final battles take place during this tournament stage. The reward is RLCS points and potentially the Major 1 qualification. Considering how close the top Rocket League teams are in the North America Split 1 leaderboard, every Playoff match matters a lot.

Take a look at the matchups and results of RLCS 2025 NA Open 3.

The gap in the RLCS 2025 competitive schedule is very short, as the Birmingham Major happens from March 27 to March 30. For all Rocket League news and updates, stick around on esports.gg!
