Karmine Corp are the tournament favourites, priced at +100 on the outright betting markets to win their second Major title of the season. Twisted Minds, on the other hand, are +4000 outsiders.
The French squad are in exceptional form, having lost just four games since October of last year, whereas Twisted Minds have lost four of their last 10, including three against Team Falcons.
Twisted Minds are not a bad team, but they are outmatched in this affair. We can give them one map, as KC usually need some time to get it going. Anything more than that is unlikely.

Gentle Mates Alpine are priced as big favourites for this clash. They have looked good in the second split with two semifinal appearances in EU Open 4 and 6, where they played competitive games against the tournament favourites, Karmine Corp.
FUT Esports are one of the weakest teams travelling to Raleigh. While they have dominated the Sub-Saharan African region, their last-place finish in the Birmingham Major is a good indication of how weak FUT are when faced with stronger opposition.
Gentle Mates Alpine should roll over FUT Esports.

Wildcard have won four Oceania Open events and reached semifinals in the other two this season. However, their performance at the Birmingham Major was lacklustre, as the Australian outfit crashed out of the Swiss Stage with just one victory.
FURIA are dark horses to win the Raleigh Major, having shown excellent form this year. They picked up five South American Open gold medals and one runner-up finish to go with their semifinal run in England.
FURIA are also very good in group stages, which explains why they’re massive favourites on the top RLCS betting sites. Don’t expect any surprises — back FURIA to sweep.

Dignitas have looked much better this split compared to the start of the 2025 Rocket League esports season. They reached the semifinal of EU Open 4, won Open 5, and finished second in Open 6.
Virtus.pro (former Luminosity Gaming) have won both APAC Open events since rebranding. While an impressive feat on paper, the Asia-Pacific region is not strong, and VP nearly lost to Movistar KOI in the most recent finals.
Dignitas can have their iffy moments, but they should win this game without issues.

Team Falcons are the most dominant team from the MENA region. They have won all six regional events and played well at the RLCS 2025 Birmingham Major, finishing fifth-sixth after a close loss to NRG.
Team Secret have been living in FURIA’s shadow this season. They’ve outperformed their rivals just once — in SAM Open 4, when they humiliated their regional rivals 4-1 in the grand final.
Even though Team Secret are a competitive team, they have to show a bit more before we can start believing they can compete against the RLCS World Championship 2024 semifinalists.

Spacestation Gaming and The Ultimates have met five times this season, including twice in late May during NA Open 6. SSG won both games, 4-1 and 4-0, improving their head-to-head record to 4-1 on the season with a 15-9 maps advantage.
Despite their success against The Ultimates, Spacestation Gaming are viewed as outsiders by the top esports bookmakers — largely because their young roster has no LAN experience.
There are reasonable doubts as to whether Jack “reveal” LeDuc and co. can perform under pressure and stand up against The Ultimates, who are battle-tested in offline events. The LAN experience alone is a good enough reason to side with the favourites.

NRG are viewed as the second-best team at the RLCS 2025 Raleigh Major. They made the semifinals of the last Major and are the most dominant team of the North American region, having collected two Open titles in the second split.
Gen.G Mobil1 Racing haven’t been as successful. They won NA Open 3 in March, placed second in Open 4, and finished third-fourth in Open 6. In the head-to-head standings, NRG are up 6-1 on the year with 21-8 in games won.
Stats suggest one thing, but NRG typically have slow starts on LAN, which works in Gen.G’s favour. While there is a question of how Justin “jstn.” Morales will perform in his first S-Tier event since 2022, Gen.G are in a fine spot to make this a competitive game.

Team Vitality have not had a good split. While they managed a second-place finish in EU Open 4 and reached semifinals in Open 5 and 6, even that is far below expectations.
Despite the underwhelming performances, Vitality should not struggle against Oceania’s third-best team. TSM found a bit more success in May when they picked up their first Open title, but have otherwise been mediocre in a weaker region.
Team Vitality should sweep.
