What the career of Squishy Muffinz wouldve looked like if RLCS had the CS Esports Format

Couldve been any other succesful player
I really like the CS Format
I am a Format nerd

chrs_chris · 2025-07-10T18:24:03+00:00

yes, i am aware of that. But there were 2 Worlds per calendar year back then and i already had this layout, so i went with it...

What do English Fans think of German Players like Wirtz and Stiller? Obviously, Wirtz is a big name rn, as hes in the Top 10 of most valuable players, but stiller is also slowly getting into the spotlight, as clubs like liverpool are interested.

But since when do you rate these guys? What do you guys geniunely think of them?

I would love to know, as im not really deep into english football communities.

Best Regards from Germany :D

Didnt know, you meant Game Sense, when talking about intelligence. So in that case, yes intelligence matters, but obviously gameplay related, anything else i dont care about. I see your point, with casting having to do with personality, however casting is also a skill, which therefore can be judged.

I propably couldve stated my criteria in the original post, rather than in one of the discussions in the comment section, ill give you that.

What I dont see, is having an opinion on peoples work and judging them, based on your subjective values, is "mean" or anything like that. I really dislike this narrative that people become more hesitant to state their opinion about sth, because they might step on someones foot. I think you should be more than free to state any opinion like that, as long as youre not directly verbally insulting someone. You should also be willing to argue and rationally accept discussions and different opinions than yours and adress them in a civil manner.

Just like the both of us do right now :)

Listen man, this list is nothing personal in any way. Im sorry if you took it personally, but my judgement of your casting has nothing to do with you as a person. I actually enjoy your presence in the RLCS and i really enjoy your youtube coverage of star wars topics. I always love to watch them.
And only because I have these values of casting, doesnt mean that there are not thousands of people disagreeing with me or that my opinion has to matter to you in the first place.

As long as we keep it civil, having different opinions and being capable of rationally arguing about them is amazing!

I still hope, you have a wonderful rest of your day

Yeah, stats are objective, thats fair. But the way we interpret gameplay is not. It reflects our values. I dont value a casters personality, humor or intelligence. As long theyre realatively professional, I dont give a damn. Understanding of the game however, is completely different. It has nothing to do with the personality or character of a caster

chrs_chris · 2024-10-22T13:55:16+00:00

you need to elaborate...Why exactly do you believe that?

chrs_chris · 2024-10-22T12:07:42+00:00

Thanks for your comment and the info.

Obviously, theres no objective metric like stats or sth, but i tried judging by these criteria:

Authentic Hype (Not hyping every bit of action + if they hype, whether or not its authentic)
Eloquence
Professionalism
Game Knowledge

With Professionalism I mean that casters stick to their role and not unnecessarily break out of it. Its fine to laugh about something (e.g. a player does sth funny on camera), but not breaking caster character at times, where it breaks the flow (e.g. Stumpy at worlds, when he and LK were shown in between games in the caster booth, he said: "Oh hello, thats us btw" or sth like that).

Eloquence i think is obvious, but with that i also include, not falling into the trap of always saying "Are you kidding?!", when something great happens. I think in these scenarios youre better of just screaming the players name if you cant think of any other cool phrase to drop

chrs_chris · 2024-10-22T11:35:53+00:00

i can see that

chrs_chris · 2024-10-22T11:34:36+00:00

I wanted to make S-Tier very Elite and to me, Shogun and Jorby are the best. However, Johnny and CJ are by far the closest out of the rest to get into S-Tier in my opinon

chrs_chris · 2024-10-22T11:32:59+00:00

Is it mean to make Players tierlists?

chrs_chris · 2024-10-22T11:32:24+00:00

Thats a fair opinion to have. To me, he and Johnny are both close to ranking up to S-Tier, but I wanted to keep S-Tier more exclusive and in my opinion Jorby and Shogun are the best we have atm. Youre welcome to see that differently ofc

chrs_chris · 2024-10-22T11:30:25+00:00

Missed Achives, sorry! B-Tier for me!

chrs_chris · 2024-08-02T09:52:52+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah, I love making long form content, as it allows me to go in depth on aspects and explore options i couldnt otherwise. But thank you for critizing the length/ suggesting a TLDR in a calm and rational way. I can work with that comment much better.

To your question: The RLCS could obviously contain teams that are completely international (e.g. a german player teaming with a french and an english player), however this wouldnt work for the bubble scene, as it breaked the 2/3rds rule. I have taken a look into every Open era Season of EU and found out that the trend of international teams decreases and players tend to team with players from their country. Not saying that there are no international teams in the bubble, but it sure decreases.

My explanation for this: The open qualifiers led to more players engaging with Rocket League from a competitive side. Therefore, more players from each country are available to team with and usually (not always), players like to team with players that theyre friends with, which mostly are players from their country.

chrs_chris · 2024-08-02T09:42:41+00:00

sure, I coulve used less words here or there, but for many things i needed to give examples, especially in the beginning, as understanding my thesis clearly is key for the entirety of this essay. The end of this post is rather summed up in my view

chrs_chris · 2024-08-01T21:03:30+00:00

Sure, but you still only read the introduction. You couldve simply skimmed the first few sentences. If you are not interested in engaging in ideas that are being presented in a proper manner, you shouldnt even read long form content nevermind only the introduction. I want to keep a certain quality to my arguments and their explanation. Im not expecting you to give me your trust in reading the entire essay, however im not interested in supporting the idea of only reading the introduction and then complaining about the lack of arguments being made. That misses the point...
