MIBR vs Shopify Rebellion Prediction on February 19, 2026

Match info

The RLCS 2026 Boston Major is the first Major of the RLCS 2026 season, with $354,000 on the line and huge early-season RLCS points up for grabs. This specific series – MIBR vs Shopify Rebellion – matters because it’s a Group D opener (bo5)—a fast way to either set up a “clean” route through the group or instantly fall into pressure matches where one bad read can snowball your whole Major.

If you’re writing this up for a Rocket League betting site, this is exactly the kind of “style clash opener” that markets love: a top North American roster vs a dangerous South American side, in a short best-of-five where momentum swings are brutal.

When:

Date: Thursday, February 19, 2026.
Time: 12:00 (noon) ET (Eastern Time Zone, local time).

Where:

Although the designated venue for the event is the Agganis Arena at Boston University (Boston, Massachusetts), it’s reserved only for the live days (i.e., the final two days); group-stage logistics are “in-city” at one of Boston’s RLCS competition facilities.

Meeting statistics

Current form and & playstyle: MIBR

Made in Brazil arrive with the kind of form that quietly scares favorites: 4–1 in their last five series, with their only recent loss coming against FURIA, and several tight series wins that suggest they’re comfortable living in close games.

Their trio (Aztromick / Reysbull / Sad) often plays with that classic top SAM edge: high-tempo rotations, fearless 50s, and instant punishment when the other team’s third man gets pulled forward. The danger with MIBR is that if you try to “out-mechanic” them without respect, they’ll turn your overcommit into a two-touch counter and suddenly you’re chasing the series.

Current form & playstyle: Shopify Rebellion  

Shopify Rebellion appears to be a team that wants to win the ball first and ask questions later. Their recent run includes a 3–2 record across their last five series, including convincing wins (4–0 over FUT Esports and 4–2 over M80) and two losses against high-level NA opposition.

With Jason “Firstkiller” Corral on the roster, you usually see a blueprint built around constant threat—quick challenges, confident solo pressure when space appears, and a willingness to turn neutral touches into immediate offense. In a bo5 opener, the Canadian eSports organization’s best look is when they establish pace early: boost denial, fast second-man follow-ups, and forcing awkward backboard reads before the opponent settles.

Head-to-head

This is listed as their first series against each other (0–0 all-time on the match pages that track it).

Match analytics

In a neutral model, Shopify should be favored on paper (NA #2 seed vs SAM #2, plus the kind of star-power that can decide bo5s), but MIBR’s recent form suggests this isn’t a “free” opener. Real upset chances exist if MIBR win the boost war and force messy midfield scrambles; however, Shopify will hardly likely allow losing more than one series.

Tip: Correct Map Score: 1-3 (check out odds on 1bet).
