European Rocket League, frankly it’s not their best run at the Winter Split Major, besides the oddball Team Queso. Queso was the only European team to stand out by making their way into the grand finals, falling just short to G2 Esports.
As we head into our final Regional Event for RLCS (2021-22) Spring, here’s a drill down into the notable candidates.
RLCS Spring Europe Regional Event 3 Format and Teams
We are already this deep into the RLCS, so expect the familiar double-elimination bracket. Upper bracket matches are best-of-five, except for semifinals and finals being best-of-seven. Whereas lower bracket matches are also best-of-five, except for Quarterfinals, Semifinals, and Finals.
Teams can earn as much as 401 RLCS points, which will be cumulated on the RLCS Europe Ranking. Considering this is the last chance for many teams to secure the top-five finishes, a lot is at stake here besides the prize winnings.
RLCS 2021-22 – Spring: Europe Regional Event 3 Bracket
The participants consist of notable powerhouses, such as Team BDS, Moist Esports (formerly Team Queso), Dignitas, Endpoint CeX, SMPR Esports, Evil Geniuses, Karmine Corp, and Team Vitality as Point Ranking qualifiers. The other eight are Guild Esports, Solary, Juicers, Team Liquid, GROS NOOBZ, Misfits Gaming, Luminosity Gaming, and Aogiri.
Confirmed for Spring Major
Two teams stand out when we consider the top seeds of Europe. Notably, Team BDS is an all-time favorite as a major-winning team.
However, a recent rising star, Moist Esports is also at the top of their game since the Winter Major. The wild card team pulled off an underdog run and managed to play in the grand finals. It’s a massive feat for Queso when we take into account the other powerful opponents from America, such as Spacestation Gaming, FaZe Clan, and Version1 which occupied the top slots.
Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be an insightful commentary without comparing the two pillars of Europe themselves. BDS is arguably a refined team, which often delivers on its performance. Even after flopping the Winter Major, BDS quickly regained its dominance in RLCS Spring Europe by winning first in the previous regional events twice.
While their overwhelming dominance is a spectacular sight, Moist Esports gained a massive fanbase for their respectable major performance. Even so, Moist Esports is not as consistent as BDS in their regional event per se. They weren’t second to only BDS in this arms race but also fell short to other candidates, such as Karmine and Team Liquid.
A new candidate joins the fray
Team Liquid is a well-known powerhouse in many Esports genres, however, it’s the team’s first regional event this time around. Despite their unimpressive background, Liquid managed to pull off a runner-up finish at the previous Regional Event.
