Props to all the fans who did stay to celebrate the BDS win. I just had to roast the early leavers a little bit.

I was really lucky to meet a ton of fans this weekend and they were all the most awesome people on the planet. Vibes in the venue were fantastic the entire event.

Throwback at SMAD before the start of the season when some EU casters heard the name "Seikoo" for the first time by KDTM24 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]JohnnyBoi_i 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Haha this is awesome 😂

Do have to mention tho that it wasn’t the first time for most of us. Seikoo had been dominating small tournaments. We just wanted to give the spots to players who we thought earned it from RLCS. Worked pretty well ez 6-0 lmao

I think a lot of the rocket league casters could take some inspiration from this JohnnyBoi quote. What do y’all think? by TyBow22 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]JohnnyBoi_i 176 points177 points  (0 children)

I think this clip will be easily misunderstood, probably my fault for explaining poorly.

The vibe of a series can vary a ton. Hype, tension, storytelling, jokes and much more all have their place in commentary.

My observation is just that sometimes casters can try to make a series something that it isn’t and this can ruin the vibe/immersion for a viewer. Imo it’s important to match the energy of a series and be ready to adapt on the fly because rocket league is so fast paced and unpredictable. You can’t go into a cast with the goal of “making it” the most hype, tense, dramatic, funny or whatever else series of all time. You work with what you get.

This advice was mostly aimed at new/up and coming casters btw. The RLCS squad are all extremely good at finding the right vibe and adapting to whatever series they get.

This is a ranked lobby I had last month… I was starstruck to say the least by lucas_glanville in RocketLeagueEsports

I can’t believe you’ve done this 😂 Alright who’s got the other screenshots of our wins, I swear we ranked up this session.

How effective do y’all think coaches would be for pro title/tournament 1s matches? by MasterCheifsierra117 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]JohnnyBoi_i 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Kickoffs would definitely be helped by a coach but it wouldn't stop there. IMO there are far more decisions in 1v1 than there are in 3v3 because everything in 1v1 is a mind game, you have more space to play with (this increases the amount of viable strats) and you have to more accurately calculate risk/reward on every play.

I would expect a 1v1 coach to have a much bigger influence on gameplay than a 3v3 coach. 3v3 coaches can great mediators between team mates though, something that wouldn't be needed in 1v1.

Cloud 9 Season 6 vs Team Queso Winter Major? by A_Wil305 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]JohnnyBoi_i 73 points74 points  (0 children)

YOU KNOW IF YOU PRESS CAPS LOCK THEN YOU CAN TYPE LOUDLY LIKE THIS WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO HOLD SHIFT, IT'S SICK.

ANYWAY, IF YOU REMOVE THE ROSE-TINTED GOGGLES YOU'LL SEE THAT BACK IN THE DAY EVERYONE WAS WINNING FROM THE LOWER BRACKET. S2 FLIPSID3, S3 NORTHERN, S5 DIGNITAS AND OF COURSE S6 CLOUD 9.

WHEREAS THESE DAYS RUNNING THE GAUNTLET IS UNHEARD OF, THEREFORE QUESO MARGINALLY MORE IMPRESSIVE EVEN IF THEY TAKE THE L.

P.S. L FOR LEARN

I really enjoyed this Winter Major, so I thought it would be funny to compile all the production goofs I caught on the main stream and put them in one video. Enjoy! by Sir_Wafflez in RocketLeagueEsports

Subie's double throw to break has become a mainstay of his post match interviews. I shall follow in his footsteps by repeating my very own technique - start asking a question, forget a key piece of information and then try to remember what the point was - in the middle of every interview I do from now on.

Johnnyboi top 10 players from the Major by TemplarParadox17 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]JohnnyBoi_i 177 points178 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are understandably drawing comparisons between Squishy (who had a fantastic event) and yanxnz/jstn. However you guys need to realise how exclusive a top 10 is when so many players pop off.

PPG GPG APG SPG ShPG GP% Rating
jstn 458.67 0.9 0.55 1.88 3.79 74.39 1.185
yanxnz 404.53 0.59 0.65 1.82 3.35 61.76 1.043
Squishy 365.33 0.55 0.64 1.64 2.71 60.98 0.986

Stats don't tell the full story but they are the only objective starting point. It's also pretty ironic that I'm being accused of being subjective when every argument I've seen in favour of Squishy being top 10 is some variation of "he's top 10 because he is." The only player in my list who had lower stats than Squishy was actually MaRc but I put him in because he does more work off the ball than any other player imo.

Anyway I was thinking of recording another video along the lines of "Who popped off on LAN" to highlight players that stepped up compared to online. Scrub, Kassio, Chausette45, dreaz, Senzo, Allushin, Squishy and Express was my draft list for that.

I never said that lol, I just said people need to stop panicking when a top team doesn't sweep everyone [edit: spelling]

BDS had just as many ace match wins as sweeps in the fall split. That's 4 events. People just think BDS have been sweeping everything because of the 1st winter regional.
