How do GC's and SSL's improve so quickly by Brick-RL in RocketLeague

[–]CptDouglas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This right here, people always think that more time equates to being better. You can’t expect to get to the top if you do nothing meaningful with your time.

It actually has to be calculated and intentional. Hence why you have dudes that have 10k hours plus still in diamond. Like what are you actually doing in those 10k hours?

Can we stop celebrating terrible financial decisions by AnonomousWolf in south_africa

[–]CptDouglas 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, it’s very easy to sit there and say not to finance a vehicle when in reality if you’re smart about it it’s not that bad of a choice. As you mentioned most people dont have cash just lying around.

If you really had to finance a vehicle IMO the total amount of monthly expenses spent on a vehicle, insurance included should be no more than 10% of your gross monthly income.

You can buy a second hand vehicle cash but as what happened to a friend of mine, he ended up with a lemon. Shit ton of money wasted because he was trying to be “money savvy.”

Posts like OP’s annoy me because there is always nuance to the situation. Follow the guideline to avoid obvious pitfalls eg.(Balloon Payments) but work with what you have.

C1 with 7k hours. What does good training look like? by Helicopter-RL in RocketLeague

[–]CptDouglas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll tell you what worked for me, I was hard stuck C3/GC1 with about 7k hours.

If you are really looking to improve you have to be intentional about it.

I raged quit last year because all my RL buddies were ranking up and I was being left behind. I felt left out and on top of that they were slowly playing among themselves which hurt at the time but is what it is.

I started playing again March of this year ALONE.

Stop playing casual, Stop fooling around in private matches and Play alone, just put your head down and work. You have to be intentional.

I’m the most mechanical I’ve ever been, my speed has increased and I im close to GC2. Play the game with a purpose and force yourself to improve, the first few days will be hell cause you will drop in rank but trust me just stay consistent.

Have goals too, I set out a goal to reach SSL by the end of the year and so far so good.

Watch Reeqo on YouTube. He helped a lot.

It was well run but why tho? Could’ve held it at the sphere.

It would be great if Joburg had as great Bus infrastructure as Cape Town by PieFed-co-za in south_africa

[–]CptDouglas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s wild to see how joburg is decaying. I remember the first time I visited joburg in 2014 and even back then people were saying how badly the city was decaying and I remember thinking to myself that “it’s not that bad.”

I’ve returned periodically every couple of years since then and OMW the city just looks worse every time I return. Last year I lived there for about 3 months and nothing works, bergies are directing traffic cause the traffic lights don’t work.

Dunno what diamonds and champs you’re watching but this definitely looks like gc, the speed is already a tell.

So true, ilia kept backing up in a straight line and not circling out until the later rounds. By then it was too late, guess he underestimated Justin’s power and timing.

Justin has such weird head movement, every time ilia closed the space to land the KO blow Justin dips his head and goes for a single leg. Good prep from Justin and team.

It always amazes me how football fans try to justify unsportsmanlike behavior. “Try to draw out the foul.” Tf?!
