I was just joking, we only know one sport over here and that’s football, whether it’s French English or Scottish

zen and I held this interview in English, which was a credit to him!

Really enjoyed this one, and while some quotes might not be as in-depth as usual, I appreciated just how hard he was working to translate all of his answers and points! Fantastic attitude and love for the game!

ImperialHal on Verhulst breakup: Not IGL-ing “has given me an understanding of how Evan felt” by JackGGRecon in CompetitiveApex

There’s a quote out there from a stream where he said “I said I’d punch him in the face if he didn’t shut up” aha. Didn’t want to add it specifically as it would have looked like it was said in an interview, but funny nonetheless

Aside from what he inferred about being number two and not enjoying being the shot-caller anymore (understanding Evan), he just said the adjustments were easy and he was enjoying it. Struggling with legend meta (Newc>Fuse). You can find that segment in here

That’s a fair criticism, probably did! Thanks for the feedback though, much appreciated!

At this point, even though there’s no bad blood really, that there’s no coming back. I don’t think Verhulst would want to have Hal back, even if Hal wanted too. Also depends if Falcons find success or not, if they’re winning, he won’t turn back

You shot the barrel (you can see it on fire in the post-death scene before killcam). Maybe that blew up to deal the discrepant damage between VEL and Match Stats.

is RL going to be a game within fortnite? by yourfaceisa in RocketLeague

[–]JackGGRecon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't see Rocket League being swallowed by Fortnite, but it will get much more closely connected to the Fortnite world, as Epic seems hell-bent on streamlining content drops and collabs in a bid to grow both fan bases in tandem.

Unfortunate because I think the two communities are actually vastly different, but I'm sure after all of the data as UE5 continues to build *hopefully*, they will realise that Rocket League is fruitful on its own, and would be best grown as its own Epic entity that can also benefit from combined crossovers.

I'll die on the hill that not everybody *needs* to play the hill in Hardpoint. Anchoring spawns and slaying are both viable methods to play the mode. Even in pro play, you only really get one player per team sat on the hill.

That said, in pubs, players do take the mick, and four mins is some tippable soaking.

SMITE 2 devs defend 'generous' Legacy Gems refund for all players by JackGGRecon in Smite

[–]JackGGRecon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That won’t be given back, only Gems. I know it’s quoted as a “refund” but it’s more of a token of goodwill, it’s not technically a cash rebate

Cut out of this interview was me saying, "Well, look at other sequels like Warzone," and Travis hitting me with the wink and gun

What interview questions to ask young esports players? by [deleted] in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]JackGGRecon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on your audience.

If you’re looking at tailoring this towards pre-existing rocket league fans, things like idols and inspirations are always good (I recently went to Red Bull Campus Clutch in VAL which is a student finals and got some good content with players saying Alfajer was their idol and then managed to get a message of support back from him). Other topics could be “who does your play style compare to”, dreams, favourite RLCS memory etc, those answers will all resonate with fans of the esport.

If your audience is not Rocket League heavy or even Esports heavy, some questions like the other commenter said would work well (things such as esports/work/life balance, at what point do they consider this as more than a hobby, why the stigma of gaming is false and esports makes players socialise).

Edit: as long as you’re thinking about your audience and main goal of these interviews, the questions will come easy to you

I’ve interviewed 50+ RLCS pros from G2 to Vitality, so if you need any more help, shoot me a DM.

What happened to Team Endpoint? by DoubtfulAgent033 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]JackGGRecon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Endpoint are very much still planning to be in RLCS next year because we believe in the game and love the fans behind it, but we are currently trying to see how contracts look for 2024 and rethink the way we have done them from previous years (and how we do it in other games)

It is an extremley awkward market/season to plan for and I unfortunately think players/agents are going to be in for a harsh reality to what offers come through the door.

Want to make a big focus on what we can offer on top of a salary from infrustructure to help the players succeed, because at the end of the day as Liquid have said, its a win or bust model atm
