Format and schedule of the Rocket League esports EU Open Qualifier 1
In the thrilling lead-up to the RLCS 2025 EU Open Final Brackets, I found myself navigating through two preliminary phases. Using a double elimination format, the top 32 teams were determined. These formidable squads then locked horns in two Swiss groups. Only the most resilient 16 teams managed to advance to the final stages of this electrifying tournament.
- Group Stage: Jan. 10. Two GSL groups have eight teams in each. The top 4 teams from each group advance further.
- Playoffs: from Jan. 11 to Jan. 12. It’s the top 8 AFL brackets. The top 4 teams get direct invitations to the Swiss stage of RLCS 2025 EU Open 2.
In the latter stages, every team accumulates RLCS Points with the ultimate goal of securing a spot at the RLCS 2025 Birmingham Major.
