Esports Nations Cup Releases Rocket League Rosters: Vatira, Atomic & Daniel Headline Names

The Esports Foundation (formerly the Esports World Cup Foundation) has released the list of rosters set to compete in the Esports Nations Cup Rocket League tournament.

Big names show up for Esports Nations Cup Rocket League tournament

As expected, the Esports Nations Cup Rocket League tournament will feature some of the hardest-hitting players in the Rocket League space.

The list of names includes some of Rocket League’s most well-known and well-accomplished players, including two of NRG’s 2025 RLCS World Champions and four-time Major-winner Axel ‘Vatira’ Touret, fresh off of Karmine Corp’s record-breaking Paris Major triumph.

However, only two players from a single organization can play for their nation at the Esports Nations Cup, meaning some notable players are missing. As a result, Landon ‘BeastMode’ Konerman cannot join his NRG teammates on the United States’ roster.

Note: Each roster includes four players, the last of which acts as a substitute.

The top 10 rosters as per the Esports Nations Cup rankings are:

  1. France: Vatira, zen, juicy, ExoTiiK
  2. Saudi Arabia: Rw9, trk511, Kiileerrz, Nwpo
  3. United States: Atomic, Daniel, Firstkiller, Chronic
  4. South Africa: Snowyy, 2Die4, gunz, Sweaty
  5. Brazil: swiftt., ANXNZ, kv1, Sad
  6. Australia: gus, Fever, bananahead, hntr
  7. Spain: AtomiK, crr, stizzy, LuiisP
  8. Netherlands: Joreuz, oaly., nass, justuszzz
  9. Great Britain: Archie, Joyo, ApparentlyJack, Toxiic
  10. Mexico: kofyr, CHEESE., Pollo, S5-Cosmic

Below the top 10 teams, there is still plenty of talent, but that top talent does not have the same depth behind it as the top 10 rosters.

TSM’s Leonardo Raffael ‘Catalysm’ Christ Ramos will represent Germany, Vatira’s famous KC partner-in-crime Tristan ‘Atow.’ Soyez will represent Belgium, and SpaceStation Gaming’s Jack ‘reveal’ LeDuc will represent Canada.

The top 24 teams are directly invited to the event, with 21 more teams making the main event through qualification and three through the Esports Nations Cup Wildcard process.

The 24 qualified nations for the Esports Nations Cup Rocket League tournament are:

  1. France
  2. Saudi Arabia
  3. United States
  4. South Africa
  5. Brazil
  6. Australia
  7. Spain
  8. Netherlands
  9. Great Britain
  10. Mexico
  11. Germany
  12. Belgium
  13. Japan
  14. Canada

  17. Malaysia
  18. New Zealand
  19. Kuwait
  20. Morocco
  21. Denmark
