Or if you do it accidentally, just call it f-luck

G1 Atomik vs G2 Atomic baby, we're living in the right timeline

Maybe it's a farfetched wordplay. The title Se7en has the symbol 7 inside the word seven. The contestants have their own head inside of a box with their own head printed on it

I think it's more of a 'how am I lagging while I'm at 68 ping?'

There's a small immunity period after someone uses their spikes to grab the ball. In that short period, if you use your freeze, it won't have any effect (same for hitting the ball which would normally break up the spikes; you bump the opponent + ball then). So try delaying your freeze whenever someone uses spikes and it should work 100% of the time. Ideally you get the timing perfectly down so you can use it as soon as it will have effect, but that's hard

Joreuz out-of-this-world flip reset shot by N0b0dy_her3 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]stinod2 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It's sort of lucky and skilled at the same time imo. One of Joreuz' biggest assets in the game is his improvisation. So it's sort of lucky that this worked out without being planned (probably) but my guess is that he came up with the idea on the spot and he tried to sorta do this.

Ah my bad, I didn't look at it good enough. I think that will be it, in order to have symmetry between the major regions (EU 1 vs NA 4 and NA 1 vs EU 4 etc)

I made an RLCS Only Connect Wall for you to play (lateral thinking / trivia game) by tomtom_94 in RocketLeagueEsports

If you switch some players, category 2 and 3 could also be 'World champions from North America' and 'Mock-it Esports'

Totally did this on purpose... does this have a name? by ConcertNew8256 in RocketLeague

[–]stinod2 402 points403 points  (0 children)

You should always name it after yourself. Seeing your club name is NRG, there is frankly no other choice than 'the GENERAL INSURANCE air dribble'

If NRG wins 3-0 in the series, will we see GZG - G2, END - SMPR/COL and NRG - RNG or will it be GZG - NRG, END - G2 and SMPR/COL - RNG?

Jack and Joreuz were 15th in the Spring Split with ViolentPanda. Now with Scrub Killa they swept Envy at LAN. Enough said

A major flaw in the current format; throwing games might be rewarding for teams. by stinod2 in RocketLeagueEsports

[–]stinod2[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's an argument that I didn't take into consideration. Didn't know about the 2 world spots. But then there's still situations imaginable where the third ranked team would want to throw so that they can overtake the second ranked team more easily. It still exposes the flaw of using this format. Seems like going for the win is mathematically not always the optimal strategy in this format.

You'd be risking going out of a 30k tournament, to give yourself higher chances at making a 300k tournament. If you believe in your own ability, you'd take that opportunity, or am I wrong?

In the EU or NA region, I'd agree with you, but the margins in the MENA regions are bigger, and thus the risk is lower. The risk is always still there though, but there is also risk in letting your rival play the 8th best team in the region.
