- Version1 - Orlando Pirates Exdee (August 4 - 18:00 CEST)

- Renegades - Bravado Gaming (August 4 - 18:00 CEST)
Renegades are one of the teams that are expected to make it to the group stage. Winning against Bravado Gaming will not be too difficult for them.
- Dignitas - Gaimin Gladiators (August 4 - 19:00 CEST)
Dignitas is one of the first teams that comes to mind when Rocket League is mentioned. Gaimin Gladiators do not have much of a chance against them.
- Spacestation Gaming - The Club (August 4 - 19:00 CEST)
Spacestation Gaming will likely win against The Club, but The Club might just surprise as well.
- Karmine Corp - 01 Esports (August 4 - 20:00 CEST)

Among the opening matches, the most competitive match seems to be between Pioneers and Veloce Esports. Pioneers are one step closer to victory.
- Team Secret - SMPR Esports (August 4 - 21:00 CEST)
The match between Team Secret and SMPR Esports is also difficult to predict. SMPR Esports will likely be the winner. However, Team Secret should not be underestimated either.
