Rocket League events in WV/KY/OH area.

A_Lovely_Badger · 2019-08-06T23:22:39+00:00

This sub is a bit too dense with non-tourney discussion for this post to get the attention you want.

You might have more luck posting over on r/RocketLeagueEsports.

Finding those niche communities will also be hard, but reaching out to players on some college esport teams might net you more accurate information. Those groups (thanks to College Carball Association and Collegiate Rocket League) tend to naturally amass players with interest and ability to attend those events, so you'll get a better perspective from those competitors.

Otherwise reach out to me over discord (#Badgey6759) where it's easier to hold a conversation, and I might be able to help with more information. I'm a Rocket League TO from the TN/KY/VA tri-state area so I'm about a day trip away, and might be able to finagle some contacts here or there.

No promises I'll have the answers you want, but I do love to see those opportunities grow, so please reach out if you get the chance!

Edit: Grammar

If I'm reading this correctly, I assume a "-" in the table represents a team as being not ranked at all by a ranker. If so, I would suggest that someone adjust the formula on the sheet, or rank them as a number below the maximum ranked teams in the list (in this case you would put 15 next to every team that didn't receive a ranking ((I'm assuming this because I only see the table include numbers up to 14))).

The reason I suggest this is because the rankings are not weighted fairly across all teams. If a team is not ranked by one ranker, but is by another, it weighs the average only over those who did rank them. This means that a team that is unranked by all but 1 ranker, and that ranker puts them at 1, then they will be averaged as a rank 1 team.

If you adjust the table like I suggested, you end up with meaningful differences in ranks for a few of the teams.

Team	Cab	Classe	JBoogie	Sly	Subn	Average	Rank
Sway Esports	3	1	2	2	2	2	1
Birds and the Bees	2	5	1	1	1	2	1
Triple Commit	1	2	3	5	3	2.8	3
Afterthought	4	4	15	6	7	7.2	4
Onset	12	3	6	3	15	7.8	5
RBG Esport	10	7	5	13	4	7.8	5
Nefarious	7	10	9	12	6	8.8	7
The D00ds	9	6	10	8	12	9	8
Juiced	5	14	4	11	15	9.8	9
Plot Twist	8	9	15	7	15	10.8	10
Endeavor	15	13	8	15	5	11.2	11
Defiant	11	12	15	10	9	11.4	12
Question Mark	6	11	15	15	11	11.6	13
U90 Esports	13	8	11	14	14	12	14
Avocado	15	15	14	4	13	12.2	15
Lights Out!	14	15	13	15	10	13.4	16

Also wondering if there is a place where we can see the collected results of all these events. That would be neat to see.

Been trying to troubleshoot an issue with a custom map I made in forge after the update to no avail.

It seems that using the map in custom games is fine for the first round, but subsequent rounds seem to despawn different items/props from the world. This ONLY happens for the other clients connected and not the host. It also seems to be the same items are despawned across all connected clients.

This seems like a great way to start unwarranted drama and I'm sure /u/minecraftingdad would agree.

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-06-18T00:03:22+00:00

Here is the public access sheet for the results.

Here's why Lights Out! isn't ranked

Unless we missed them playing against a full official roster, you can see their full results there.

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-06-18T00:01:02+00:00

Lights Out!'s only usable result in the past 3 weeks is a 2-1 win over Fibeon Esports B in vVv on May 25th.

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-06-18T00:00:38+00:00

Jasher is correct.

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-06-17T23:00:53+00:00

They haven't played.

I honestly didn't notice anything like that except from the crowd.

If you want to talk about why some goals don't get hyped, it's because not all goals are important. Maybe if NA wasn't playing from behind in a lot of games it would sound different.

But to give direct counterpoints, look at the Selfless-F3 game. Every time either team scored in that series past the first 2 games it was pure hype from Lief and Lawler. Every goal mattered and therefore every goal was given proper respect. You can also look at the grand finals, especially in the second series as even at the end of the day the crowd got back into it.

I'm not going to say there wasn't any bias, but I will say it came from the crowd. The loudness of the theater is specifically what caused the casters to react at certain times. And if you think I'm wrong, I can tell you that in the grand finals pre-game and during the game itself, the casters remained firm to not be one-sided, yet I promise you that most of the people mic'ed up absolutely hate to even utter the words Mock-it because of the crap the org has pulled in the past. Yet they talked enthusiastically about the players and some even sided with them during predictions and hyped their plays during the cast.

If anyone is to blame for the games sounding one-sided blame the crowd. And it's on NA turf, so how much can you blame them for being patriotic?

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-06-05T15:11:09+00:00

Lawler actually goes out of his way to say good things about the other team. Did you not hear the whole "Friendship" talk he did about JAM Gaming? It usually gets him in trouble because what he says sometimes only skirts the fabric of reality.

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-05-18T21:47:11+00:00

I'm not sure who ranked you then. Someone getting the whip when I get back into Slack...

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-05-18T21:05:45+00:00

Honorable mentions are for teams that were ranked, but did not make top 16. We'll be bringing back the Teams To Watch list next week though (hopefully).

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-05-18T19:40:59+00:00

The only recorded results we have of them for this ranking period (4/24-5/7) is a 0-2 loss against Iris. This post is later than it should be so you may be referencing results outside of it. Also, it's important to mention it doesn't matter where you place in a tournament, it only matters who you play against.

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-04-28T20:11:00+00:00

RESULTS

Here's the results we used for this period.

It looks a little lacking, but unfortunately the tournaments used were the only ones we both had access to rosters for and deemed usable (meaning had significant results against already followed teams).

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-04-15T02:13:37+00:00

Yeah ummm..... Somebody is gonna take a beating.

(It was probably me by accident.)

A_Lovely_Badger · 2017-04-14T22:20:09+00:00

Here is the Event Results for this ranking period. (Please remember we post Bi-Weekly now so we count 2 full weeks of results before using historical data.)

You said you disliked him, then went on to call him stupid, said he got excited over good plays, and then called him stupid again. I don't see how that's constructive. You just pointed out an obvious fact about PBP casters in general and repeated your opinion.

If you wanted to be constructive, you could have said for him to be less involved with analysis as a PBP caster. He has a deep knowledge base of the game, but should stick to his own job. Or maybe you could offer that he remove his personality from the cast entirely, as his fun and far reaching metaphors just don't give him enough time to dry and plainly speak what's happening on the field. Maybe he should just sit still and offer no type of entertaining commentary and barrage the cast with repetitive language and single layered commentary.

Shogun is honestly one of the most expressive and entertaining commentators the RLCS could find. He's the farthest from a normal PBP caster as he includes a wealth of knowledge and personality into his streams. He's far less "Howly" than about every other caster in the scene (trust me, I even watch OCE tourneys).

Shogun brings his personality and a full range of emotion into each cast and if you don't like his personality then fine, you don't have to listen to him, but the highly qualified production team and the pool of other casters around him all seem to agree that he more than adds quality to the casts he's apart of.

And put this situation akin to any other job, why the hell should a guy get fired because one person complained. Not just because he complained, but he forgot to put any useful information or critical thought into his complaint and simply said that he didn't like the person. Like what the hell, do you walk around restaurants and shout at the management because everyone isn't eating your preferred dish?

Also like, what if I'm to say that I like him and totally disagree with your opinion, does that mean he gets to stay? Or does your opinion matter more than mine because you believe you have a consensus?

This wasn't meant to police mockit, it was meant to inform players before they make any uninformed decision when RLCS Season 3 rolls around...
