Top Esports Teams Converge for RLCS World Championship 2023

It is finally time for the biggest Rocket League tournament of the esports season! The RLCS World Championship 2023 caps off the incredible 2022-23 season. Fans will see twenty-four top Rocket League-ranked teams from all over compete for their share in the $2,100,000 prize pool and to be crowned as the World Champion. The tournament goes from August 3rd to August 13th, with a one-day break on the 7th.

Team Vitality won the most recent Spring Split Major in style and is expected to be one of the favorites going into Germany. However, Karmine Group have dominated the Rocket League esports space all year, so Vitality must watch their backs. Maybe we’ll see someone new come out on top?

Here’s everything you need to know about the RLCS World Championship 2023.

Participating Teams

Twenty-four teams will battle it at the highest stage for that top prize and glory. Eight teams have directly qualified for the Group Stage. Meanwhile, the other sixteen teams will have to go through the Wildcard. From there, the top eight teams from the Wildcard will proceed to meet the others in the Group Stage.

Tournament Schedule and Format

The format will be different for each stage.

The Wildcard will be a Swiss System format with sixteen teams, with all matches being a best-of-seven (Bo7). The top eight will then proceed to the Group Stage. These matches start on August 3rd and go through until the 6th.

The eight teams will meet up with another eight who previously auto-qualified for the Group Stage. From there, the teams split into two groups of eight. Each group will face a double-elimination bracket, with all matches being a Bo7. The top four teams from each group will proceed to the Playoffs. The Group Stage goes from August 8th to the 12th.

Lastly, the Playoffs will be a single-elimination bracket, with Bo7 matches.

Best Bets

As we said above, Vitality, BDS, and Karmine Group deservedly have the best odds to win the RLCS World Championship 2023. However, that doesn’t mean they are the best bets on an excellent esports betting payout. Those three teams are:

• Moist Esports (+1200)
• G2 Esports (+1400)
• KRÜ Esports (+8000)

Despite being one of the top teams in South America, KRÜ Esports tends to sputter out the further they progress. Everyone always performs differently at Worlds, so that this year could be different. G2 has one of the oldest rosters and has the most cohesion. However, they must overcome one last hurdle to be a top team again. Moist has not won any tournament since 2021, but they have slowly risen the ranks and placed better in every match. This could be their year to win a major tournament, finally.
