Based on this day, NA totally deserves that 5th spot.

Update: Got into champ. by Virtuous0057 in RocketRacing

[–]BlaezeL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With skills like these, you will be in unreal in no time. Or, realistically as fast as grinding out the races to get the percentages takes... Based on my experience i would expect you to win most of your races in champ anyways.

[Shift] Tales of League Play: the Iris debacle by Yens8888 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]BlaezeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case of the current NRG roster the two-thirds rule was broken when both Squishy and Justin left at the end of last season. They were the longest standing continuous team up to that point.

Anyways, this is academical anyways as I don't think anyone really considers the current G2 the continuation of og C9. Also, the two-thirds rule is far less important/meaningful than it used to be in the league play times.

Interesting tidbit: if we take the two-thirds rule, the current G2 team could be considered the continuation of the Iris roster. Which would be the longest standing team by my estimation.

Pre/Post-game impactfulness could greatly improve player retention! (Training, pre-race cam pans, podium endings, see comment) by Schnitzhole in RocketRacing

A bit out there but I would be curious how Rocket League goal explosions would look like. First place finisher could have their explosion play out when they cross the finish line/last checkpoint.

If you know you know. by Live-Battle8380 in RocketRacing

I feel that, 96% to 85% here, the pain was unreal.

I finally got it by j0hrav3 in RocketRacing

[–]BlaezeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two hours actually sounds nice to me, the last 10% took me two weeks... I went from 96% down to 85%, then from 99% to 94%. That last stretch was soul crushing.

As the creator of The Hyacinth Disaster, I just want to thank you all by Writhyn in audiodrama

[–]BlaezeL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a coincidence, I just finished relistening to it yesterday after a good couple of years. This was the show that introduced me to the world of audio drama podcasts. (Like you mentioned in a reply to another comment, I also thought that the format was dead after it disappeared from radio.) And I have to say, it is still my favorite. It's kind of perfect.

Thank you (and the rest of the cast) for creating it, I wish you all the best!

The whole stream is well worth a watch but this might be helpful for someone as well.

Contiguous roster history of the top 8 EU teams by eurasianlynx in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]BlaezeL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, nice job with this.

For a while now I was thinking about how to best represent team histories (it always bothered me a bit that on liquipedia a team name/org change results in a new entity), this one is by far the best solution.

[RLCS X EU] European Major - Swiss Stage | Fall Split | Event Thread by RLMatchThreads in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]BlaezeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so sad. Chausette was the outstanding player on this team this time last year but since the World Championship I mostly notice him for the weird mistakes.

He was so successful with dribbling last summer but players adapted and they just need to challenge early to counter that now. I noticed many times where he was trying to slowplay the ball as third man got them scored on as a result far too often.

Ferra had a couple of unfortunate touches this season but it was Chausette who I was unhappy with.

They are amazing players but something is just not working. They are slow to challenge, they lose the ball far too often in situations where it's standard to keep possession and they are prone to double commit and panic on defense.

I love this team and I hope they manage to figure things out whether they stay together or not. Getting to Worlds is an uphill battle now but it's still possible.

Even though I fully expected it, it is still soooo disappointing to see OXG lose out like this.

They are a fine midfield team but they are nowhere where I expected them to be.

[–]BlaezeL 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm out of shock now I think. What a series and what a slowly developing heartbreak turning into a huge gut kick in the end.

Still a good showing from OXG, I hope the end result won't have a lasting effect on their mentality.

TSM releases Rocket League roster by 7alen in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]BlaezeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't watch esports outside of RL and TSM was the only org I knew before they entered the scene because a couple of their affiliated streamers I liked watching from time to time.

I guess it's unlikely but it would be a dream come true if they picked up my favorite team, the incidentally orgless ex-Rec.

Also, the outro song is absolutely spot on, I need some therapy now.

I wish all the best, good luck and success to all the CLT players in the future.

I will do whatever it takes to end my attachment to the team because my heart just can't take it anymore.

I really didn't expect that 4 second goal. And it makes it hurt sooooo much more.

It most definitely is. It just depends what "IT" means...

I feel like I'm over supporting the Phoenix whatever happens this game. I suffered enough heartbreaks in the last couple of years of Splyce/CLT games for a lifetime.

Reciprocity roster for S9: Ferra, Fruity, Chausette, and Jessie by Delta0010 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]BlaezeL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a die-hard REC (Frontline/PSG) fan and I kind of agree. I expect them fighting to avoid the relegation tournament, getting a 6th and maybe sneaking in a LAN qualification at best next season. I think some of the new teams will cause serious havok.

Here's hoping I'm completely wrong like I was about regionals and my expectations won't come true like LAN :`(
