Predictions
This is probably going to be the most stacked European event in a while, meaning that the games in this tournament are going to be very close. Recently we’ve had teams like Team Queso and Guild Esports on the rise, so they definitely have the highest odds of success at the moment. That being said, Rocket League esports is very different from other esports, which could mean that any underdog team can take out some of the best. In the end, we’ll just have to see who plays the best and comes out on top!
