Minnesota RØKKR have looked improved of late as they enter this match on a run of four wins and one loss. While they also had a solid start to Stage 1, only to lose all of their momentum later, RØKKR now look much stabler.

Carolina Royal Ravens are trending in the opposite direction and are one of the shakiest teams in the league. Their S&D remains solid, but they lack consistency on Hardpoint, which will be a major problem on Friday and later in the season.

The way the two teams have been playing lately, RØKKR should not struggle to get a win on Friday.

Head to Head

Minnesota RØKKR and Carolina Royal Ravens have yet to meet this season.

Minnesota RØKKR Form

Minnesota RØKKR defeated Miami Heretics 3-1 in the first match of CDL 2025 Stage 2 Major Qualifiers and added a huge 3-0 victory against OpTic Texas in the final match of Week 1.

That is a huge improvement from what Minnesota RØKKR showed earlier in the season, although they’ve not had the worst run at Major 1, with wins against Vancouver Surge and Cloud9 New York, before getting eliminated by Miami Heretics.

Having won four of their last five games, Minnesota RØKKR seem to have stabilised and are in a great spot heading into their next match against Carolina Royal Ravens.

Carolina Royal Ravens Form

Carolina Royal Ravens lost to LA Thieves (0-3) and Toronto Ultra (1-3) in the first week of CDL 2025 Stage 2 Major Qualifiers. It was not the best start to the season, but not too shocking as the Royal Ravens are very rough on Hardpoint, with some of the worst stats in the league.

Their Search & Destroy is decent, and the Royal Ravens are not terrible on Control. But if they fail to win Hardpoint consistently, the Royal Ravens will struggle to break into the elite few teams and have a hard time even against other mid-table squads.

Verdict

Minnesota RØKKR v Carolina Royal Ravens

There is a lot to like about Minnesota RØKKR. They are 4-1 from their last five and seem like they’re on the same page, with better showings on Search & Destroy and on respawns. Admittedly, Minnesota RØKKR had a good start to Stage 1 before they started to slip, but this time it feels different.

Carolina Royal Ravens remain a team that can do well, but of late, they’ve been anything but good. Their Hardpoint is lacking, and even on other maps, the Royal Ravens have started to show cracks.

This is a winnable match for both teams, but the Royal Ravens will have to show immense improvement to stand a chance on Friday.
