A high-flying moment in Rocket League by Psyonix. Provided by Psyonix.

The Rocket League Championship Series Season 2 NA Regional Championship to decide the seeding in Amsterdam wrapped up Saturday. With $10,000 on the line and an easier run in at the Grand Finals for a chance at the main prize, teams were vying with everything they had for the top spot.

Match one: Orbit versus Take 3

In the first single elimination best-of-seven match of the day, the boys from Orbit outclassed Take 3, winning with a comfortable 4-1. The result leaves Orbit looking like it never spent two weeks off RLCS and shows a somewhat terrifying return to form. The victory sends Orbit to the Regional Championship finals to face off for the number one NA seed at the International Grand Finals.

Match two: NRG versus Genesis

The second match of the day went similarly to the first with NRG outclassing a Genesis that had been surging in recent weeks. The tournament final was set with NRG playing versus Orbit for the one and two seeds from North America at Amsterdam.

Match three: Genesis versus Take 3

The third-place match was not close with Genesis sealing the number three seed with a 4-1 demolishing of Take 3. It was a day to forget for Take 3 as it will look to improve massively heading to Amsterdam for the Grand Finals.

Match four: Orbit versus NRG

The final match of the day to decide the top spot going into the International Grand Finals was a face-off between Orbit, who had confidently taken down Take 3, against NRG, who had smoothly moved past Genesis. In the end this was our closest match of the day with NRG taking Orbit down 4-2 and securing the number one North American seed at Amsterdam.

With the NA RLCS Regional Championships seeding decided, all that remains is European seeding and the International Grand Finals. Here is the final list for North America's seeds:

1. NRG
2. Orbit
3. Genesis
4. Take 3
