South America has plenty of skilled players, and matches here are spectacular.

Teams to watch out for and the effect of roster changes
Winning previous tournaments doesn’t guarantee a win at the next event. If you are even slightly interested in esports betting and predictions, then you are probably familiar with this rule. Still, fans certainly expect great results from the champions.
- NRG won the Rocket League World Championship 2025 event. These players have been together since the G2 Esports era, and they are considered the best in North America.
- Karmine Corp have trophies from the Birmingham Major and the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2025 in their cabinet. French fans want them to win in Paris, not just qualify for this Major.
- Gentle Mates won the Boston Major, and the community’s eyes are on these players. How will they perform this time?
In South America, FURIA often takes first place. Team Secret players were the usual contenders in 2025, but MIBR took their spot in Boston.
Team Falcons keep their No. 1 status in MENA even after losing Mohammed Khalid “trk511” Alotaibi. Samy “dralii” Hajji became a nice replacement. Twisted Minds with two star players couldn’t qualify for the playoffs in Boston, and RLCS 2026 Split 2 is a chance to regain confidence.
Fresh roster changes
Some roster rotations happened within big teams in Europe and North America ahead of RLCS 2026 Split 2.
- Enzo “Seikoo” Grondein left Geekay Esports for Man City Esports. The teams exchanged Christian Fabricius “TempoH” Mortensen to make it possible.
- FUT Esports signed Nick “Chronic” Iwanski from Spacestation Gaming and Justin “jstn.” Morales from Gen.G Mobil1 Racing.
- Gen.G got Kenneth “frosty” Walz from FUT Esports.
- Spacestation Gaming signed Zachary “zach” Stone back, as the player has returned from retirement.
Open qualifiers of RLCS 2026 Split 2 give the players enough time to adapt to their new teams.
The Rocket League esports Paris Major 2026 happens from May 22 to May 24. After that, we have two other big LAN tournaments this year: the EWC 2026 in August and the World Championship 2026 in September.
