Changuitos FC vs. Fear of God Prediction on November 21, 2025

Match info

South America Open 1 is the very first regional event of RLCS 2026 – the 15th season of the Rocket League Championship Series – for the SAM region, which in itself is part of “Major 1” qualifying.

Within the context of the SAM Open 1 double-elimination / Swiss system used to decide which teams climb the regional standings and stay on track for a LAN Major berth (only the top sides over the split will make it to the offline Major and, ultimately, Worlds), the online bo5 match between Changuitos FC (nation of origin unknown) and Brazil’s Fear of God in Group B’s upper bracket quarterfinals is a high-leverage early series.

For Changuitos, a newcomer with a perfect record so far, this is a chance to prove it’s not just a one-series wonder. For Fear of God, a known mid-tier SAM name, it’s a statement match to show it can still hang with the fast-rising teams in the region. The kick-off is on Friday, November 21, 2025, at 19:10 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, the official time zone for all RLCS online regional matches).

Meeting statistics

Current form and & playstyle: Changuitos FC

Changuitos FC comes into this match looking like one of those classic “new danger” teams that SAM produces every few seasons. On paper, they’re relatively fresh on the RLCS radar, but their numbers are eye-catching: Reliable sources record them at a 100% win rate across their recent sample (5 / 10 matches, last month, last year) and show a clean 3–0 sweep over MSM in their first RLCS 2026 Open 1 series.

That sweep over MSM, in a Bo5, tells us a lot. They weren’t just edging out game fives – they closed the series without dropping a map, which usually points to confident kickoff plays and well-drilled set pieces (standard in SAM when a team is clearly better on the day), strong mechanical depth across the roster, letting them win most of the solo challenges and aerials, and a style that leans into tempo and pressure – forcing opponents into awkward clears, farming boost advantage, and converting extended pressure into goals rather than playing for overtime scrambles.

Changuitos looks like a high-momentum, aggressive side that thrives when they’re allowed to dictate the pace. If they score first and get comfortable, they can snowball the series very quickly.

Current form & playstyle: Fear of God

Fear of God, by contrast, is a known quantity in South America. Sources track them back to 2022, with roughly 38 wins and 33 losses across their recorded matches, a solid but not elite W/L record. Their overall win rate is listed around 50% and total Rocket League earnings in the mid-4 figures (~$6.3k), underlining their status as a mid-tier SAM staple rather than a dominant powerhouse.

Their current form in Open 1 is mixed but not disastrous: 1–3 loss vs LAUD.gg is suggesting that against stronger, structured opposition, they can get outpaced over a series; 3–2 win vs Fofuchos, where they had to grind through all five games in a do-or-die match, is showing both resilience and a tendency to let series get scrappy.

That pattern fits a team that plays fairly measured, mid-tempo Rocket League: not full “Brazil chaos ball”, but also not ultra-defensive. Fear of God often look most comfortable when games slow slightly – lots of controlled backboard touches, safe rotations, and counter-attacks rather than endless double-commits in the air. They rarely get obliterated; instead, they hang around and try to win by making fewer big mistakes than their opponents.

Right now, though, they’re clearly not in peak form – recent months have more series losses than deep tournament runs, and their first Open 1 result underlines that they can be punished by teams with sharper mechanics and better boost management.

Public databases list this series as their first recorded official meeting at the RLCS level between these two.

Match analytics

Edge in raw form and momentum are clearly on the Changuitos FC’s side. Perfect RLCS 2026 Open start, 3–0 over MSM, 100% recent winrate – everything points to a confident squad that hasn’t yet been “figured out” by the region. As soon as the odds are released at eSports betting sites, find the bet that has Changuitos as match winners. Usually, markets are slow in catching up to newcomers’ forms, which will likely be the case with Changuitos’ form, and they give such teams’ opponents too much respect for experience, meaning the odds on Changuitos to win are going to be long.
