RLCS 2025 Raleigh Major Favourites

Karmine Corp head to to RLCS 2025 Raleigh Major as the team to beat. The European Rocket League team have been phenomenal since the turn of the year, winning four European Open gold medals and the season's first RLCS Major (Birmingham).

To put KC's dominance into perspective, Karmine Corp have lost just four games this season and just two since the start of May – against Geekay Esports and Dignitas in the finals of RLCS 2025 - Raleigh Major: EU Open 5.

Given their dominance, it comes as no surprise that Karmine Corp are the team to watch in Raleigh and the main title contenders, priced at 2.00 on the best betting sites.

Sitting in second place are FURIA (6.00), who have been the most dominant team in their region; however, FURIA have not reached the same heights as KC.

The Brazilia team have won all but one SAM Open event, and they left a positive mark in Birmingham, where they reached the semifinals.

Similarly, NRG (7.00) have been dominating the North American scene, with four NA Open titles, and like FURIA, they made the semifinals of the RLCS 2025 Birmingham Major.

So, despite not showing the same heights as KC, NRG can be viewed as live dark horses to go all the way.

Dignitas (8.50) can fall into the same category too. Europe's second-best team have done well this season, although they've spent most of the year in Karmine Corp's shadows. Moreover, their run in Birmingham (ninth-11th) left a lot to be desired, which raises the question of whether Dignitas can improve their LAN performance this time out.

Another team worth anyone's attention are Team Falcons. Priced at 13.00, they're not expected to make it far, but the Falcons have the talent to battle for a top-four finish.

They're the top dogs from MENA, who performed well in the RLCS 2025 Birmingham Major. They played a competitive game against KC and narrowly lost to NRG in the quarterfinals.

Given their past results and form, the Falcons can compete for a strong finish. But as the latest betting odds suggest, it'll take a lot for them or any other team to outperform Karmine Corp.
