Top players will compete for cash prizes, and the winners from Europe and SAM will face off at the first Major\u2019s 1v1 final.<\/p>\n<p>Split 2: North America, Middle East &#038; North Africa (MENA), Oceania (OCE), and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will host their qualifiers, with the top players progressing to the second Major\u2019s 1v1 final.<\/p>\n<p>The winners from these Majors will then battle in a 1v1 showdown at the <a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/rocket-league\/world-championship\/\" title=\"RLCS World Championship betting guide\">2025 World Championship<\/a>, creating a new dimension of individual competition and rivalries, including the potential for teammates to face each other.<\/p>\n<h3>Last Chance Open Qualifiers<\/h3>\n<p>A new &#8220;Last Chance Open Qualifier&#8221; will be introduced, held between Major 2 and the World Championship.<\/p>\n<p>These qualifiers will occur in the four strongest regions based on performance at Majors.<\/p>\n<p>Only one team from each region will advance to the World Championship, raising the stakes and giving underdog teams one final opportunity to qualify.<\/p>\n<h3>Expanded World Championship<\/h3>\n<p>The 2025 World Championship will expand from 16 to 20 teams, including a new play-in stage.<\/p>\n<p>Four teams from the Last Chance Qualifiers will compete against the lowest-seeded teams from the lowest-ranked regions.<\/p>\n<p>From this stage, four teams will advance to join the top 12 in the main event.<\/p>\n<p>This format gives more teams a shot at glory on the biggest stage in Rocket League.<\/p>\n<h3>Ranking Qualification System<\/h3>\n<p>A new Rankings Qualification system will also streamline the qualification process.<\/p>\n<p>The top eight teams from each qualifier will automatically advance to later stages in the next Open Qualifier, bypassing early rounds.<\/p>\n<p>This system won&#8217;t apply to the first qualifier of each split or the Last Chance Qualifier, maintaining competitiveness for fresh challengers.<\/p>\n<p>With these exciting changes, the 2025 RLCS season promises to deliver more opportunities, intense rivalries, and unforgettable moments.<\/p>\n<p>Fans and players alike can look forward to what could be the most dynamic season in Rocket League history.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\"
