RLCS 2021-22 World Championship Wildcard Stage opening matches' schedule and predictions

The wildcard stage of the RLCS 2021-22 World Championship begins tomorrow. 16 teams will struggle to place in the top eight and advance to the group stage.

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

Version1 is unlikely to struggle against the Orlando Pirates Exdee. Version1, which has made a name for itself in Rocket League, will most likely be the winner of the match.

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)

01 Esports has been performing decent lately, but Karmine Corp is closer to winning the match.

Pioneers - Veloce 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.

Tokyo Verdy Esports - OpTic Gaming (August 4 - 21:00 CEST)

It is quite difficult for Tokyo Verdy Gaming to leave this match with a happy ending. OpTic Gaming will not have much difficulty to win.
