Just like a flying miniature car accelerating towards the opponents goal posts, we are once again rapidly nearing the premier event of the Rocket League Championship Series. The Season 2 Grand Finals wrap up on December 3 and 4 in Amsterdam, and going into it every one of the eight teams will be hoping to outshine the others for the $75,000 prize. Heres how Europe and North Americas finest stack up.Finalist contenders: FlipSid3, Northern, NRGFlipSid3 TacticsI said it last time, and even at the risk of jinxing it: FlipSid3 is the best team in the world. The EU squad scores more goals and lets fewer goals in than anyone else in the world. FlipSid3 will be a top contender in the world again, and should do one better than last season this time.Northern GamingEuropes Northern underperformed at the last RLCS; a third place finish is not enough for a team of this caliber, and with the new look lineup it will be ready for a push at the championship. FlipSid3 will stand in its way, but thats always been the story for Northern. Now is the chance to surpass its longtime rival.NRG EsportsNRG come in as the surprise number-one seed from North America taking down Orbit in the NA Regionals to secure that coveted slot. If NRG cannot do better than the Season 1 Grand Finals where it finished dead last, there will have to be a lot of questions asked about its LAN performances.Great potential: Orbit, Mockit, GenesisOrbit EsportsOrbit was expected to be the number one team from North America for most of the season yet it fell at the last hurdle, dropping to NRG. If Orbit can play the way it played for most of the regular season, expect a deep run in the Grand Finals.Mockit AcesMockit Aces is an odd team. On its best day, the guys from Mockit are comfortably in the top three teams in the world; on its worst day, they lose to teams that didnt even make it this far. Mockit is one of the most volatile teams in the world; it would be equally unsurprising to see it win the whole thing as it would be to see it lose in the first round.GenesisGenesis is North Americas third seed and also the third-best team from the region. Barring a truly biblical performance, Genesis will likely struggle to make a deep run, but the potential is there. If a really great vein of form strikes them, Genesis will be competing in the later rounds.The underdogs: Precision Z, Take 3Precision ZPrecision Z is a very good team... sometimes. On a good day, Precision Z beats Mockit Aces and takes Flipsid3 to five games; on a bad day, Precision Z will not manage to win a game in the entire tournament. A performance in the middle still leaves them somewhere down here.Take 3Take 3 is an interesting conundrum, North Americas fourth seed lacks almost all consistency; truly, this team could show up as world-beaters or look totally incompetent. The middle ground is again generally expected, but Take 3 on its middle ground simply isnt good enough to compete with the best in the world.
