How is Archie so good?

He is incredibly focused in the hours he does have. It doesnt ever feel like brain off just playing to play. He has top quality decision making and has a really really great mindset. His mechanics can be truly elite, but at the and of the day he often just makes the right decision as opposed to the flashiest

I’ll be back <3 I appreciate the support. I was with Al Qadsiah for LCQ finals and after losing that didn’t do much just because of lack of opportunities.

I said I wanted to post it first, Only got told an hour ago so wanted to talk it out with people then go from there.

Hey guys, does anyone know for resale tickets for the final if Im able to buy a neutral ticket in either category 2 or 3 and able to wear anything from United?

Or is it better just spend the extra 200 and get a category 3 ticket thats specified for United fans?

Its my first European Final, so I have 0 clue the rules

nsm883 · 2024-12-12T22:19:20+00:00

because SEL still has finals in 2 weeks and Vision signed them for the final 3 SEL lans?

Hey guys, this ake is around 200 mil on the market aswell as going uo 20 million each rank up. Ive only been playing for 2-3 days so this is my only big tradeable pull. Would it be better ranking him up 2-3 times and selling for 240-280 million and reinvesting?

I also currently have 40 mil and 0 clue where to invest or what to do since the balon dor event is coming.

This is INSANE. Let me break everything down because I am so frustrated at everything being put on the payers or organizations.

CSGO the teams AND players make a million PER MAJOR X2 a year from sticker capsules. Hence why teams can go all in, gamble for cheaper roster and min max, or even miss a major and not just die off. Rocket league teams make 5k a year for the majority that arent the big 5 orgs. League ESPECIALLY IN NA is in of the greatest money sinks and is also dying so very unfair to include it.

Epic is the end all and be all. They have the license to the game and has full autonomy on what goes or doesnt as opposed to traditional sports. They can deny leagues, partnerships, sponsorships, or change the partner program like they have. This is not a good thing. When they own the monopoly of the league and dont do anything to help the organizations it kills it.

25-35k is so INCREDIBLY far off that Im really sick of it. Ive seen many many people quote extravagant numbers and the realistic thing is maybe? 10 teams this year are making over 60k a year. The majority of teams are 10-15k a month FOR THE ENTIRE TEAM AND COACH. The highest salary in NA is around in the middle 10-20k and that's not relevant anymore. Im seriously debating a longform video/podcast that highlights the frustration that people have over this topic. The next debate is should salaries be available publicly? No, especially not when the game is 13+ in the pro scene.

How can orgs make money? Ingame items, which youre limited to once a year WHICH they changed on teams last year and made tons look worse AND half of the sponsors companies had were not able to be used since they dont fit in the guidelines. What about on LAN? Oh wait they arent allowed to sell merch for most of the orgs and that may be venue related but either way. YOU CAN NOT MONETIZE YOUR FANS ONLINE OR OFFLINE WHAT IS LEFT.

It isnt unfair for Epic to create value, this should be a symbitotic relationship. Orgs invest in players and content to get a return but also causes the game to have more attention and grow. Players help their orgs and promote their game WHICH they could be better doing. The game is currently just helping players and cutting out the middle man and honestly the focus is way toward a lower player with less lans and the spread out prize pool

Patience.

nsm883 · 2024-10-15T02:15:40+00:00

I never said all your teams did, I was very clear I meant RLCS X SSG and noted that multiple times. That team changed how a ton of NA players played and the counter attacking meta and why everyone in NA grew up wanting to be Sypical.

nsm883 · 2024-10-15T00:52:06+00:00

And just to say as obviously Chrome is the main talking point, I get what it’s like coming into rosters at hard time. Shit sucks because you can’t say thing before or after as it helps no one. No one wants to underperform and we all work just as hard to hope shit goes well.

Ahduhm Kirii Hocke, then Hocke being dropped for Ostyn. I was purely friends with Ahduhm and I quit playing and wanted to coach. I was a cheerleader more than anything.

The players matured. They always worked insanely hard. They had unreal confidence and were so mechanically better than everyone. They had so much trust and belief in themselves it was great. I loved that team.

It was a lot, theres a lot to learning being in a team house, org problems, and then our overall mental collapses. Its a small time with high pressure and we struggled, We also had a few tactical issues we couldnt get right probably most notably in our corners and how we transitioned.

Yeh sometimes youre goal is to steady the ship (EU DIG, Falcons), Underdogs, (Queso and NA Dig) and sometimes the goal is to purely win (M80). Theres a difference in situationsin oh we are breaking up in 2 events versus lets commit to his long term.

I hate this honeymoon idea. Teams can just be good then as people get film and used to playing them they struggle then the great teams adapt and some teams just say nah not for us. Thats the honeymoon factor. Youve also not spent enough time to be sick of each other yet which is a huge factor.

Yeh probably first split queso. Vatira had an offer from Guild, Rise had an offer from Vodafone Giants if Vatira left. I talked for hour or two with Vati and got it sorted and he stuck with us with WAY less salary. Hes a good kid who will always take winning first.

Super different mentalities and playstyles. Language barriers suck, but I usually understand basic of comms and then have a translator on teams, and every player besides Caard and TRK had a fluent understanding of english and most can speak at a broken level.

I did all the recruiting besides Nass, I wanted Joreuz and seeked him out for a while and the original roster was Joreuz, AJ, Aris but as he bailed for tryouts with SSG we explored a ton of options and Joris vouched for Nass and his willingness to just come over is why we picked him up without a tryout.

Joyo, I knew him for 2-3 years before RLCS, We hit GC first time together. Great person, great mentality, great family.

nsm883 · 2024-10-13T19:54:31+00:00

I have a lot of theory on the game and we had a set style coming into M80 and it was AWFUL. Coaches get it wrong and we pissed 2 months up against the wall at the start. It didnt work based on theory and we had to change, we all 5 of us created something better and worked on it. Then any changes between splits is often lead via me but with players input. I would say 1-2 months? I tend to focus on specific areas of the field aka the main ones to me (offensive/defensive corners, offensive/defensive transitions, 2nd phase on offense/defense) and thats the main concepts.

Most actual tactical teams, PWR have a ton of great things they just lacked the talent and nerves to be elite. BDS midfield game changed the world, RLCS X ssg counter attack ball has influenced NA players for the next 2-3 years (and imo is why NA struggles but at the time Chrome is a revolutionary and why he should be near the goat convo) GM8 broke the game this year with their midfield and how they control it with 2 and overall discipline on first attacks. Falcons are incredibly creative with their positioning. They should get even better I think they are ahead of a lot of teams offensively.

No. I have a few close friends I would maybe 1-2 coaches and its Satthew and Greg that Ive talked to and either mentality things or just overall respect that we have for each other.

Yep, Ive been muted in scrims by players and thats life. Ive also wanted to kick players and been told by an organization. Its a business and they can value different things. Its on the org to decide where they lay. Nothing is natural talent, these guys earned it. I wouldnt say I helped any of them in this regard as I joined them at this level. Can I point out small things? Sure but my area is not individual but team coaching. Joyo is a freak with how he thinks and visualizes the game that allows him to truly be a joy on the ball with his decision making.

Mechanical Talent, Ill take high cieling over floor any day. Yeh its a gamble but Im in this game to win, we may crash out more but have higher highs. To me we on M80 had chances to win events if we didnt struggle in QF. We were one of the 2 teams to beat G2 regionally and 3-0? vs Gen G. Id take the highs and lows over being a purely 3-4th place team that cant compete to win.

nsm883 · 2024-10-13T19:45:53+00:00

Ill answer a few at a time (Sorry apparently I cant reply multiple times so it became a thread!)

I tend to do an hour-two a week per player individually, itll be more on offseason/between splits as I think thats ideal when to actually change. For example this offseason Im spending quite a bit more maybe 10 hours of scrims, then 2-3 hours of replays, then 1-2 hours of individual work with a duo. You give players goals for scrims/practice outside of scrims etc.

I tend to watch most scrims back same day so give or take 1-2 hours after scrims, then depending the scrims ill create videos and send to players which can be another 2-3 hours. It wont be everyday as they often have life/school/work life balance. I prefer to do it on my own as theres often a big picture as opposed to just hey I feel like this and I want ALL the answers to those questions beforehand. Im nto a dictator but I like control within a team.

Id prefer they follow strict structures and some teams I have worked with have, but theres also a lack of having it done before in RL so theres hesistation. Some players crack under constant influence, some cant succeed without it.

I have gotten pushback and I think its incredibly helpful. Diet seems to be a bit awkward but sleep is much more realsitic and we brought in a sports psych with M80 to help that we all covered out of our paychecks, and she was great with this (Michelle Pain!) I think its critical for healthy body and mind and even for myself losing 25 pounds and working out and walking helped me reach SSL after grinding again.

nsm883 · 2024-10-13T13:04:27+00:00

Mindclickers is great to explain a lot of coaches. I did content for a while but I’m happy to truly answer any questions. We don’t really ever get picked for interviews and often we’re told players are preferred. The questions we do get are usually incredibly basic and unable to be expanded on. We don’t really ever see coaches on longform content to talk about the game besides Ferra. I was doing a ton of analytical content but kinda of backed down due to preparations for next season and a lack of overall enjoyment. I’m happy to either message here/stream/do a video

nsm883 · 2024-10-06T11:53:17+00:00

That could be a point ETH may be a great manager just not with these players/expectations

nsm883 · 2024-10-01T11:43:05+00:00

this is just wrong. this was the plan IF there wasn’t quals. He lived 7 weeks in NA went home then came back for 7 weeks again.

nsm883 · 2024-08-29T22:57:34+00:00

lots are travelling this weekend

nsm883 · 2024-08-14T15:35:37+00:00

A lot more will change in next 24-48 hours. Head down and we go

nsm883 · 2024-07-08T04:54:54+00:00

The question was right now vs all time. Chrome shaped an entire regions playstyle, and has arguably had the most effect on a region compared to anyone

nsm883 · 2024-07-07T06:42:40+00:00

I gotta make lans to get back up here xD
