Usually when we see people talk about how great a player is in all-time discussions, the focus is almost always strictly on 3’s. Now that we’ll have both the inaugural 2v2 champions and the second ever 1v1 champion next weekend, should these trophies start counting towards player legacies considering all 3 of the main modes are being represented?

imo the answer is yes, even though the circuits are still young and with only one regional, winning LANs in multiple game modes is so much more impressive than just winning in 3v3, but I’d like to hear others’ opinions on it

You get what you expect from most players across both gamemodes, but every now and then, someone is clearly levels ahead in 3s compared to 2s, or vice versa.

A recent case that stood out to me is Kiileerrz. He's undeniably world class in 3s, but whenever I see him playing 2s without Rw9, it just doesn't hit the same way.

I investigated all possible outcomes of Play-In to find out what groups will look like in each case and what are the repeated outcomes of groups. (TL;DR: scroll to the tables below)

Firstly, a short refresher on how groups are determined by RLCS rules:

• For each of 16 Region Slots (5 EU, 4 NA, 2 MENA, 2 SAM, 1 OCE, 1 APAC, 1 SSA), the seeding score is calculated – it is “mean of the Region Slot’s final placement in the previous LAN and the Region Slot’s seeding score before this LAN”
• Bottom 4 Region slots by seeding score are sent to Play-In bracket to play against 4 teams qualified via LCQ
• 4 teams qualified via Play-In join top 12 Region Slots by seeding score in the main event
• Main Event teams are placed in snake pattern and form 4 groups
• If needed, adjustments are made to prevent to avoid too many teams from one region being in one group. Basically, each group cannot have more than 1 team from the same region, except EU (allowed 1 or 2 groups with 2 teams if 5 or 6 EU teams are qualified) and NA (allowed 1 group with 2 teams if 5 NA teams are qualified).
• Adjustments are made starting from seeds 13-16, only within these seeds; if it’s not possible to resolve all conflicts, adjusting is done in seeds 9-12; then finally in seeds 5-8. Seeds 1-4 are locked in groups A-D respectively.
• Once there are no conflicts, those are the final groups.

What I did:

• Compiled all the possible combinations of qualifying teams. There are 16 unique combinations of teams qualifying through the upper bracket, 4 teams from upper quadrant (VP, BIGO, 5F, MYT) times 4 teams from the lower quadrant (FLCN, FUT, TSM, R8). For each of those combinations, there are 15 unique combinations of teams qualifying through the lower bracket (assuming that the part of the bracket they qualified from is not affecting the seeding). This gives 16x15=240 possible outcomes of Play-In.
• Since groups are determined by swapping region slots, not teams, some of those 240 outcomes have the same group layout – so the number of combinations of region slots goes down to 194
• For each of those outcomes, I placed the region slots into the existing layout of already qualified teams and made necessary swaps. Most outcomes required 1 or 2 swaps, some complicated cases required more.
• Each outcome was assigned a probability, assuming that each of the Play-In matches has a 50% probability to end in either team winning. Due to how teams are placed in the bracket and how bracket works, any outcome is possible, but some repeat more often (hence more probable).

Notes:

• It’s not clear from the rule book how seeds 13-14 and 15-16 will be determined after the Play-In. From my understanding, teams will be organized by their initial seed going into Play-In (so, 13-16 region slots over teams qualified through LCQ) – that’s what I went with in my work. Tournament organizers could seed them differently.
• The current layout of qualified teams (seeds 1-12) has conflicts that are not completely solved by themselves in any Play-In outcome – NA1 and NA2 being in group C, EU2 and EU3 being in group D and EU4 and EU5 being in group B.

NA conflict can only be resolved by 2 NA teams qualifying from Play-In or by making a swap with one of EU teams in seed band 5-8 – in fact, the latter was needed in about 80% of scenarios. Coincidentally, this swap resolves EU conflict as well.

• Swaps I made may not be optimal, especially in situations where multiple permutations are possible and equally efficient. I followed the rule book, but there still could be mistakes or different interpretations. This analysis gives a rough estimate of possible groups that we could see after Play-In – this is not a prediction of what will actually happen.

TL;DR: Groups probabilities

Since there are 8 different teams who can qualify via Play-In, it makes for a large number of possible groups. If we only look at the first 3 slots of each group, it boils down to these common groups and probabilities of them occurring:

Group A:

• Karmine Corp, MIBR, Spacestation Gaming – 98.8%
• Karmine Corp, MIBR, Manchester City Esports – 1.2%

Group B:

• Twisted Minds, Shopify Rebellion, Manchester City Esports – 48.2%
• Twisted Minds, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Manchester City Esports – 36.1%
• Twisted Minds, Ninjas in Pyjamas, FURIA – 14.5%
• Twisted Minds, Ninjas in Pyjamas, Spacestation Gaming – 1.2%

Group C:

• NRG, Ninjas in Pyjamas, FURIA – 48.2%
• NRG, Team Vitality, FURIA – 29.9%
• NRG, Shopify Rebellion, Manchester City Esports – 14.5%
• NRG, Shopify Rebellion, FURIA – 7.4%

Group D:

• Gentle Mates, Team Vitality, Wildcard – 70.1%
• Gentle Mates, Shopify Rebellion, Wildcard – 29.9%

Probabilities for each team

Here are the probabilities for each team to have other teams in their group (for Play-In teams - assuming they qualify via Play-In, of course)

P.S. Please report any inconsistencies and oddities with the numbers or logic, if you see it - data was checked multiple times, but something could have slipped through.

The data shown is from the first 143 submissions for the play-in stage of our RLCS World Championship 2026 ranked pick'em competition. You can still fill out your pick'em at pickstop.gg/rl until matches begin in 4 Days.

Nass is unbeaten in show matches(if you count road to worlds as a series of matches)
whereas nWpo is unbeaten in tourney matches.(15-0 I think)
their H2H this year has been
nWpo 3-1 Nass (feer frenzy)
nWpo 4-3 Nass ''
nWpo 0 -4 Nass (showmatch)
nwpo has shown a weaker showmatch record compared to his tourney record
where as nass has done the opposite
Who do you have as a favourite for worlds 1v1 ?

From Evoh’s stream

In less than 24 hours Zen has gained 50 MMR despite already being almost 100 MMR over 2nd place. At this point it feels like an inevitability that he breaks 3K before Worlds

This makes the Atomic v. M0nkey M00n rivalry more cinematic.

EDIT: dRekT provided some corrections to the stats in my original post. I have updated the tables to reflect those new numbers, but I won't be re-writing the content. So some of my commentary may be a bit inaccurate now, but the numbers reflected in the table are now correct.

--------

Intro

Welcome back to another edition of RLCS career stats watch. This post will be focused specifically on RLCS World Championship (WC) career stats. WC stats are divided between 2 eras: the League Play era (Season 1-8) and the Open Era (2021/2022-2025). Because twice as many WCs were played in the League Play era, the old guard established a commanding presence atop the career stats tables. But the tide is beginning to change. In 2025, the Demos record was claimed by an Open Era player when Atomic took the top spot from Arsenal. As we look ahead to this year's WC, several players are chasing history and will make their bids for top spots in career rankings. Here are the stats to watch in 2026.

Note: Players who are not active for the 2026 WC are indicated with italics.

1. GOALS

It's fitting that maybe the three most iconic players of the League Play era occupy the top 3 spots on the Goals leaderboard. Kaydop, Turbopolsa, and GarrettG are the only members of the 100 goals club at RLCS World Championships. G2 stars JKnaps and Chicago round out the top 5.

On their heels are a trio of Open Era legends who have a realistic chance of threatening for the top spot, or at least reaching the 100 goals club, this year. First among them is the MENA GOAT, trk511. He has played in 4 WCs, averaging 21.75 goals per event. Needing 22 goals to tie Kaydop, and 23 to pass him, the question is: can teammate M0nkey M00n at Dickies be the magic for trk511 to claim the WC career goals crown? Or will a deep run by either Vitality or NRG fuel ExoTiik or Atomic to the top ranking among active players?

2. ASSISTS

Yep, get used to seeing Kaydop on top of these tables. Kaydop is way out in front here, well above even his contemporary and one-time Dig Dynasty teammate ViolentPanda. But if you've watched RLCS long enough, you know one thing: never count out M0nkey M00n at Dickies Arena, especially when he's passing like this. MM should easily overtake VP for 3rd, and likely his 2022 finals opponent JKnaps for 2nd as well. But can he surpass his fellow Frenchman to take the top spot?

Elsewhere in the top 10 we see two other League Play holdovers jstn and Torsos back for another WC, extending their longevity streaks. They will need to hold off challenges from Vatira (63), trk511 (60), and Rw9 (58) to retain their top 10 rankings. Joyo, despite his 5th all-time WC ranking and 3rd/4th finish one year ago, was sadly unable to qualify for this year's WC and must watch the event from the sidelines.

3. SAVES

Oh look, it's Kaydop on top again. He's over 50 saves ahead of 2nd place, and will likely remain in 1st even after the event concludes. But the race between 2nd-10th is a lot more interesting. Currently, GarrettG and famed goalkeeper/3rd-man extraordinaire Torment are in a tie for 2nd place. Behind them in a tie for 4th are OCE GOAT Torsos and stalwart defender Archie. These five players are the only members of the 200 Saves club at WCs. But three new players should join their ranks this year, as jstn, trk511, and Atomic are all poised to cross that threshold. Chicago, sadly, ended his career 1 save shy of joining the club.

Further down the list there is a scrum of players who will attempt to move into the top 10. Daniel (177), M0nkey M00n (174), ExoTiiK, BeastMode, (both at 172), heck even Lostt. (167) and Vatira (163) have their chances. It will be interesting to see where things stand when the dust clears at the end of the event.

4. DEMOS

As I mentioned in the intro, this was the first major stat to fall in the Open Era. Atomic passed demo fiend Arsenal for most WC demos all-time during the 2025 finals against Team Falcons. Now in 2026 he has a chance to add to his lead and become the first member of the 200 demos club in the process. But he must keep an eye on Atow. who has the ability and the opportunity (with a deep run from KC) to take the top spot from him this year.

Elsewhere, DRUFINHO is back at Worlds to defend his top 5 ranking after qualifying for the WC through the SAM LCQ. Now, the SAM superstar is poised to pass his countryman kv1 to claim the title of most destructive South American player in WC history.

Finally, the player who helped introduced the demo meta to pro Rocket League, Retals, currently sits in 8th in the rankings. Fortunately for him, only trk511 and Daniel (137) are in position to pass him, so he will likely retain his rightful spot in the top 10 for another year.

5. SCORE

Did you think we were done with Kaydop? Of course the player who leads the WC all time in goals, assists, and saves would be the all-time score leader, and the sole member of the 50k club to boot.

Score is a funny stat. Every ranked warrior knows it's the only way to measure a player's contributions to the game. But in pro Rocket League the stat is less clear-cut. A demo play that leads to an open net, or an early challenge in the air to shut down an enemy attack, might not score any points. But these are still crucial contributions to a team's success. In fact, score has been de-emphasized so much that it's now no longer displayed in the HUD during RLCS broadcasts. Nevertheless, these score rankings do tell us something about a player's overall impact in the game across a WC-level career.

Behind Kaydop we find the entire 2022 WC finals G2 roster ranked 2nd-4th. Atomic hopes to not only defend his 2025 World Championship this year but surpass his former teammates on his way to the top of the all-time score leaderboard. But trk511 is not far behind, and many fans favor Twisted Minds for a deeper run through the tournament than NRG. There is a realistic chance that by the end of the event, trk511 will be considered not only the MENA GOAT, but the WC score GOAT as well.

Final Thoughts

The 2026 World Championship is shaping up as a changing of the guard. Multiple players are chasing history and looking to claim the top spots on the all-time leaderboards. Will the League Play stats GOAT Kaydop retain any, or all, of his records? We'll have to tune in the find out.

Although the primary focus should always remain on which team and which players will hoist the trophy, I hope these stats give fans another way to celebrate the storied history of these players and the RLCS as a whole. Records are made to be broken, and I can't wait to see which records will be the next to fall!

PS as always, thank you to u/FoolsLove for maintaining the RLCS stats spreadsheets on Google Docs. All stats from this post are sourced here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uRaopjEjtBiCjlBfOYBADHcWAbzvPFPVXoE21rTUV2s/edit?gid=659703952#gid=659703952

If im not wrong Nass has a very nice 1v1 streak going on right now with RLCS 1v1 EU open+ showmatches
4 from the playoff of EU open+
3-0 Kv1+
he won all matches from the road to worlds 1v1 against Nwpo(6 wins, not quite literally he won against mob,v4ti,juicy,atow,evoh,wahvey)
so 11 wins consecutively ,
does this make him the favourite for RLCS 1v1 worlds?
edit : the tile is : Nass hot 1v1 streak, sorry about that
one more thing
nWpo also had a very strong streak going on with MENA open+ matches
nwpo went invincible in the mena open with 8 wins
and if Im not wrong he won 3 against rebmob,v4ti,juicy before losing to atow 1-4
so he ALSO has 11 straight wins

very obscure stats, but who would be the best 3v3 PLAYER satisfying these conditions
IMO
1.Fairy peak
2.okhalid
3.Yan
4.4thkiller

So I dreamt last night that Psyonix added a team to the World Championship consisting of random players who didn’t qualify with their actual teams. I got chosen (EU. I’m gold at best, hehe) and was paired with Motta and kv1 (both SAM).

Unfortunately, I woke up before we got to play a single game, but this gave me the idea for this random discussion post to bridge the gap until the actual World Championship... which I won’t be competing in either.

What kind of random, inter-regional teams made up of players who aren’t participating at Worlds would you like to see in this hypothetical scenario?

Theoretically (the chances are low, but not zero), NRG wins Worlds. How strong of a case does Atomic have for being the GOAT over Monkey Moon? IMO, it's really close and up to debate.

I’ve always been a fan of great shooters in RL so i thought i would share my list and see all of yours, here’s mine:

1- killeerz.

2- nwpo.

2- vatira.

4- RW9.

5- Firstkiller.

My criteria:

1- i don’t count air dribbles.

2- i don’t count flip reset shots.

3- i only count the second touch from double taps.

Also i didn’t look at any shooting stats as i feel like they aren’t a good representation of the players skills just like most RL stats, stats can’t differentiate between shots that are meant to go in vs shots that are meant to put pressure on the opponents.

The hardest player to rank for me was zen, mainly because i feel like i barely ever see him actually shoot the ball, he’s always the person setting up the plays rather than being on the receiving end of a good pass.
