For the second time in the RLCS winter split, the winner at a European regional tournament is Team Queso. After the first, the Spanish Rocket League team was also able to win the third event. With this, the first of the EU ranking solves the ticket for the major in Los Angeles.

"We were in a really good mental mood today. We had a lot of fun and when we have fun, we always play better," Queso's Joe "Joyo" Young said after the final. "I'm looking forward to the major. I am sure that we will play very well there as well. I don't know what could stop us".

In the group stage, things did not go well for the Spaniards. As a group third, Team Queso narrowly escaped the early exit and was thus in the knockout round from the beginning in the lower bracket.

In the playoffs, however, Team Queso made a real run to the final, knocking out teams such as Evil Geniuses and Dignitas from the tournament. In the final match, the Spaniards defeated the English team Endpoint twice with 4:3 and 4:2.
