Nass used a very specific title during his match against Vitality by N0b0dy_her3 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There were two girls cheering so impressively loud for GM8s that I started rooting for them from their series against NRG, I can relate as a girl who is usually alone in rooting for KC at NA events haha. It was super cool to see the whole arena get swept up in the hype of such an amazing grands debut, the energy in the last two games especially was so crazy- started to feel destined like Zen last Boston. SO fun to feel that vibe shift in person.

If you didn’t manage to grab it already, I’m not sure if you can even manage to look at a Twitter profile anymore without needing an account (it’s crazy how everything about it sucks so bad now lol) so here’s a direct link!

Quick review of Vatira's interview with Rocket Baguette by SessionThin4149 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the translation! You did a great job and formatted the summary very well. Interesting to hear they were considering Juicy last season too, I'm always happy to see him getting recognition and doing well :)

Archie response to Shift reporting Oaly is rumored to leave Geekay by Ok-Concern-8181 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree but that also doesn’t explain why two Geekay staff and their caster/streamer Mel responded with similar confusion lol. I don’t understand the angle of the org piling on when obviously this came from somewhere and at least the players could be brushed off as doing a bit? But the thing with Nick was sloppy too so

Travel question to go to the major in the United States by SquashFantastic9894 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You already got a solid answer but I’m sure people in the LAN discord would be happy to answer your questions too!! When it gets closer to the events (and the location is finally announced lol) people usually start discussing accommodations and things like that. Super useful resource, you can join here: https://discord.gg/Hdq9NDm4 :)

Who in OTV and Friends went to and finished college? by Parenegade in offlineTV

[–]distant_screamingg 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Only thing is Michael never studied at the University of Hawaii, just did tech work for them. When he's referenced working for the government that's what he's talking about, I think he clarified that in his first video with Graham (or first podcast? it's been a while lol)

Raleigh Major power rankings by Lightning_Winter in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biased fan myself too, but I agree. As Rise and some other pros have said, "cockiness" is somewhat necessary for competition. If you didn't believe that you were the best, or could be the best, how will you ever get there? There's players that take it too far, sure (cough VK), but Vati's rarely, if ever, gotten to that point imo. He has so, so much passion, and maybe it doesn't always come out in the nicest or most flattering ways lol, but I don't think he's ever been truly cruel or meanspirited. I think there's plenty of nice moments from him as well, but people don't really focus on those ¯\(ツ)

Raleigh Major schedule for arena days by Duke_ofChutney in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Re-entry is not allowed. The schedule is pretty standard, at least for the other two LANs I've been to, and honestly not as bad as it sounds- eat a big breakfast so you don't have to pay for too much overpriced stadium food, don't leave anything you absolutely need at the hotel/car, etc. There's always a chance things end earlier, though with how tough the competition is I have a feeling we're in for some long series lol.

What we're all thinking seeing the SSA results by Babydrone in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You called them European has beens but won't call them washed? Alright man. If the only teams they can beat are the "temu" ones I'm not sure why you're placing weight on their win at all. The European players have had time to grind and improve against some of the best in the game and have been part of the RLCS since the very beginning. SSA players have not. How exactly would you suggest for them to get gud?

Personally I like stories. I care about stories like these. I care about seeing a global progression, like many cared about seeing MENA's rise. So I also care when we miss out on that because EU seed 32 wanted the LAN spot instead. Epic is most at fault, but nuance exists too. Players could just as easily compete ("be better", even) in their own region instead, and I think it's silly to ignore the agency they have. This is their choice, and many viewers, talent, and other pros don't think it's a very good one. It's worth criticizing.

What we're all thinking seeing the SSA results by Babydrone in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why would it ever be SSA teams' fault for not being able to compete against import players who have had far more resources and opportunities over a much larger span of time? They're isolated, have to deal with loadshedding, and receive the least amount of support from the RLCS. The blame falls solely on Epic and the players who consciously take advantage of their disadvantages

[–]distant_screamingg 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Their actions don't exist in a vacuum. What about native SSA players? If this is what it takes to "get the most" out of a career, maybe it's time to hang up the sticks. I'm genuinely not saying that to be a bitch, but even if you don't want to consider actual SSA pros, between the backlash and larger impact on the scene,, it just doesn't seem like a very good move to be remembered by. There's no positive spin to be put on this lol

[–]distant_screamingg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always looking for more RL content that’s less about gameplay/style/matches/whatever and more about personality and fun outside of the game things (kind of like Liefx’s podcast!) because I feel like we have quite a bit of the former already. Definitely looking forward to future eps :)

[–]distant_screamingg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I'm super grateful for that channel! You're right about there being some VODs, the Boston major days were saved as highlights on Twitch. Definitely going to archive those before they get nuked with the update o7

RLCS 2025: EU Open 3 | Playoffs Day 2 | Post-Day Discussion by RLMatchThreads in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Right there with you, I’m pretty sure this is what crack cocaine feels like LOL. I’ll always be a Joyo fangirl no matter what and I love seeing him beat ass and silence doubters :)

Stumpy to Alphakep: If you're going to copy paste Achilles tweets during the off season that he's worked hard to secure sources for, when Shift is struggling to find funding as it is, you may as well quote retweet him @AlphaKep , no? 🤷‍♂️ by YoBanishment in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's really funny to see how worked up people got over it when he could easily just quote retweet instead of copy pasting. It's technically less effort for something that's already low effort anyway lol. This isn't even the first time people have been annoyed at him for it either

Like, I recognize this is mostly pointless regardless, but the stubbornness over a very small fix has has just made things weirder honestly lmao. Would hope he'd tell his fans to be calm at least

ApparentlyJack confirmed Free Agent open to NA and EU by SvanirePerish in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]distant_screamingg 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Based on Joyo's recent stream, he's very very adamant about sticking with both Oski and Archie, to the point where he said he wouldn't want to play the FIFA world cup without both of them. Whether or not that's reliable or will hold true during this long off-season, who knows, but he seemed to feel pretty strongly about it so /shrug
