Three open qualifiers across all Rocket League esports regions lead to the offline matches of the Raleigh Major.
The Rocket League community is pretty excited about the most recent competitive announcement: the monthly Cash Cups. At first sight, these tournaments have little connection to the primary esports league, Rocket League Championship Series 2 (RLCS) 2025 and its Split 2 — which starts at the end of April. On the other hand, smaller events should shake the somewhat settled scene, at least potentially.
The open qualifiers of Split 1 and the Birmingham Major itself proved a drastic dominance of some teams: on the regional and international levels. Sure, unexpected results occurred back then, but they were mainly in Open 3, when the leaders had already qualified for the Major 1.
With RLCS 2025 Split 2, everyone expects big upsets to make the show spicier — we kind of hope for them. Take a look at the detailed schedule for the second hal of the Rocket League esports season! Can the favorites and regional underdogs really surprise us this time?
