Can't believe its episode 80, been following since episode 79! Keep up the good work lads.

Can't believe it's episode #80 already! I'm going to start listening at episode #81.

Me sitting here waiting for the Jack conversation to lead to Jack being a guest on the show and it never happens😭

This whole NWPO thing is dumb. I totally get Rule One not wanting to associate with him anymore after this. That’s fine. If it’s not part of an RLCS event, they should not get involved. I don’t support him being racist, but at the same time, people need to grow a backbone and chill out a little bit. Epic is handling this just fine

On the subject of Nwpo, I know the internet loves to cancel people for all eternity and don't believe in growth and change, but he's literally a kid. Ban him for the rest of the season and all of the first split next season, so it's a 9 or 10 month ban, but don't permaban him. We want people to be better, and casting them out forever won't achieve that. We need to encourage them to improve themselves.

Chalked starts at 1:30:34 !

Mawkzy haters gonna have a hard time figuring out who to root for in the next Mawkzy vs NWPO 1v1

Can’t believe it’s episode 81! Been following since episode 20. Keep it up you Legends!

Am I the only one who thinks the Swiss mental block is a Joreuz thing and not a M80/Dignitas thing?

calling KC "the best team in the world" after these losses is comical.

joreuz was THE swiss merchant on that dig roster. lol

I honestly really like the idea of this season’s qualifier, I like how cutthroat it is and it gives many players/teams to have a real opportunity to play in the main event, but it can definitely be improved upon. Top 8 teams should not be playing every day of qualifiers cause of what has happened to SR, Dig, KC and others, but I do think they should be playing to qualify still. And a swiss qualifier wouldn’t do justice imo cause it takes too long and it’ll be a closed qualifier essentially like last season’s

Literally the thing that changes shredded cheese from block cheese is called a CHALKING agent

Finally, been waitin on th is for almost two weeks

Can’t believe it’s episode 80! I’ve been following since 2047 and took a Time Machine back here to tell you guys CHEESE ends up winning 30 straight world champs

While i don't like the idea of auto qualifying because i feel the open qualifier makes teams be consistent, a potential solution could be that the top X teams auto qualify to like the top 32 or top 64 to avoid the burnout of having to play so many matches every qualifier. Then, the best performing teams will be able to rest more and also play less series, so losing would be much more their own responsibility.

For Nwpo, the people on the call with him were instigating, provoking him on purpose. Basically trying to get him to say something out of line to get him cancelled and banned. Imo, this behaviour is even worse then what Nwpo said. I don't agree nor condone what Nwpo said. However, he's literally a teenager and this is literally his job, of course he's prideful and won't take any bullshit from others. Also have to take into account what is regarded as acceptable remarks in Saudi Arabia (I've never been to the Middle East, just trying to put myself in his shoes to judge the situation fairly.). I did read online that in the Middle East, there are issues with "Problem kids", that might be a bad influence for him at school or just straight up his family is racist could be the case as well. I agree with Rule One for wanting to dissociate with Nwpo and release the roster. As an org you definitely do not want the ones representing your name to be racist, sexist, etc. What needed to be done was to simply leave the call when you're starting to get annoyed and frustrated by them. Of course they would've teased Nwpo to no end because he got mad at their "tomfoolery". "It was just a prank bro.". But it would've been a better outcome for sure. As for his future, everyone makes mistakes. What matters is how you respond to these mistakes. Will you crumble into a shadow of your potential or will you fight to never make that same mistake ever again. Will Nwpo have what it takes? Find out next week on Dragon Ball Z. ❤

I think multiple layers of rules for players moving regions would work for example: 1. Rank the regions based on performance at lans, and you’re not allowed to move down a certain amount of ranks but you can move higher as much as you want 2. If the first rule is not respected then you apply 2/3rds rule Or a residency rule that doesn’t allow players to move to a region way below their rank if they haven’t lived there for a certain amount of time (this one is not as good as 2/3rds for second layer though)

G2, GenG, Vitality, BDS, Mates, etc all win and make Swiss everytime. No excuses for KC. Not a format problem when every other team that’s supposed to always make it always makes it. Then they’re going to cope and be like “well Shop and Dig missed a regional.” So you’re saying KC is on the same tier as SR and Dig? Make sure you accurately reflect that on your next power rankings then. But you won’t will you? Lmfao the cope is real

Shredded cheese has potato starch to keep them from sticking together.

pre-grated/shredded cheese is coated in preservatives and stuff that stops it from sticking together, it's why it's kinda dusty feeling. The more you know.

if anything official happened to nwpo with rlcs, it would be absolutely ridiculous

Chalked cast should just make a team and call it Johnnybois buns

This is the best episode since the gold rush bans

Episode 80! If you count the patreon it could be like episode 160 i reckon

I really dont think Nwpo's career should be over because of this. Idk what he said or the severity of it, but if Joe Biden can be openly racist during his early political years, and still become president. Then Nwpo should be able to play rocket league while being represented by an org.

Grated cheese

Epic is terrified of anything resembling a stable league with consistent orgs and it is infuriating. Quals are fun and all for getting new people in the league but at the same time it lowers the professionality of the scene

Can we just see Jonnys new top 5 in the world list? I'm quite intrigued as to how it would look.

Also, I'm for the change. The 2/3s rule isn't the solution though

In the SSA situation defence, I think limitless are getting better for it (eye test wise). I'm devo'd to not see them at lan though

people just assume RLCS is a fixture that will always exist like the NFL or something. It's wild to see people actually tell complaining orgs to shut up or leave. If orgs don't buy into RLCS, the esport ends. Like, it will actually be over, it exists in the first place because orgs put money into it. I cannot stress enough how IMPERMANENT RLCS is and how "good for the esport" is a genuinely really important thing. This isn't a massive institution like the NBA or NFL, this shit WILL die if the private investors putting money into it stop doing that

The reason they have jack is if its nixed eith Monterey jack cheese thats what i noticed workin at retail

Was it trk who reported nwpo

I don't get the hand holding of multiple LAN and Major winners to teams who can barely qualify. The glazing of "top teams" is wild. People want to give these teams as many chances as possible when on the other hand these teams who are approaching this format knowing they have a small chance to beat a team like freaking KC are actually doing the work and winning. Yes KC are better than those two other teams they lost to but they showed up on the day. Not getting paid, not having a place to boot camp, not having the backing of the org and won. Let's celebrate those teams and stop diminishing their accomplishments because the fan favorite didn't make it.

Wait until everyone finds out what NWPO is short for

It's because they have to coat the shredded cheese so it doesn't stick together. Not nearly as good.

Turbo's Cheeks V3 - Rizzo, Turbo, CJCJ (high ping but the content bro) 🥅⚽🚗🔥🔥🔥

OG beat them twice not just ones. SSG has a consistent mid lvl. OG has a great peak (which u don’t expect from a team with low mechs) and a low low floor

"16-20 EU is in another class compared to NA" and the cope has been revealed.

36:24 Rizzo could still be pro if he stayed playing octane

Inb4 johnnyboi doesnt move kcorp from #2 in his global rankings 🤣🤣🤣

KEHVIN THE GOAT ❤❤❤

Having the final day be Swiss to get into the main event just makes things unnecessarily complicated. Because what if K Corp has that bad day on Friday or Saturday then they still miss out and everybody would complain about the format. I am a believer in the K Corp should win their games because let's stop pretending that they don't have at least two of the best players in the world on the same roster. CJCJ is right and it would also solve what Rizzo brought up about organization stability, just go back to last year and have the top eight in points auto qualify 🤷‍♂️

OCE players got banned for less by Epic than nwpos. It wasn't the word that was said, it's all of the statements. CJ talking about things not being okay now when they might have been 10 years ago, I hear his point but for what nwpo was saying to be okay you'd have to go back 60 years. Can't be calling someone a slave and talking about how they should be whipped. I can understand Epic not wanting to get involved with cases outside of RL but that should mean the former banned pros are unbanned as well.

I think the ssa thing is helping that region improve way more than them making a major and getting destroyed does. The ssa region is finally playing solid eu teams, even though they have high ping. I don’t think it’s right but it could be for the better of the region if they can improve quicker considering they can’t q ranked that easily.

I feel like KC should have just won.

Cant believe johnny is comparing KC to shopify, dignitas, and old moist lol they all should be top 8 power rankings then since they are on the same level. SMH just admit EU is not as strong as you think.

1/3

literally an argument going on around 7:20 LMAO in the chat comments

Episode 80 and M80 still can't win a Quarter Finals... LOL

I’m sorry, I agree in the fact about the format being bad, and it should be Swiss stage, and kc was probably extremely nervous in the lower bracket. However, the fact that johnnyboi said that the 16-32 range of NA was way worse than EU is insanity, the teams in the final round of both regions are very comparable, and I watched the kc and top cougars series and Kc was absolutely abysmal, and top cougars really didn’t even play that well at all really. To say teams like young whipper snappers, incorrect, deleted XD are way worse than teams like suhh and top cougars is extreme coping for the EU region and is disgraceful, top cougars would be a 16-32 team in NA and you can’t prove me otherwise, the top 16 teams in NA r very solid, and so is EU, but Johnnyboi always gotta take shots cuz he mad that the EU one seed is out

Mena is shaddy af. 2nd time they tried to get NWPO banned. Shaddy or maybe scarred of him

If Geng or G2 lost in open qualifier CJCJ and Johnny would still say the format sucks but would also drop them down out of the top 10 in the world. Bet they dont with KC. Expected this out of johnny but CJCJ is even worse lol. Forgot he swings on Rises sack. Vatira has dropped from best in the world to somewhere out of the top ten fs.

37:10 ummh no? fans are not gonna just blidnly kiss your feet, they don't owe you anything they're allowed to be angry because you represent them and you messed up and trolled the series. stay with me now

Damn, Kep was saying all week that Rizzo was going to a baseball game that's why they brought in squishy for 1 regional. What a liar, what a snake. I can't believe his kicked Turbo and Rizzo out of a team that were just meme for content. To do it with 1 regional left in the season is so crazy too, he could've just waited till next year. His performance against V2 was the worst performanceof any player Turbo cheeks have played this season. Actual rat though, I hope he loses some support on his twitch.

If #1 EU team lose in open qual its tough and we make excuses but if that happened to G2 NA would NEVER hear the end of it.

I don't buy into this "don't hate the player" take. These players from Europe etc. know that they are taking away opportunities from a region which has significantly less support and opportunities than in Europe. They know what they are doing and it says a lot about their character. The rules need to change to stop this, you could not do this in an international sporting event. Don't respect the players or the rules.

Bro this kingqoozy guy is so stupid in the chat 😹

What a weird video. KC has been consistently playing worse and they’re just afraid to talk about it

Absolutely hate the idea of franchising! I think it's terrible for the esport and the orgs as well. Franchising often means barely anyone knows who the orgs actually are (you just have some name like Seoul Dynasty). It gives such minimal reason to follow an org rather than players, even more so than now. The promotion and relegation just means you have gate keeping which taints the notion of it being 'the best'. Overwatch did this and it turned out a heap of the best players were in that second league but were sitting there waiting for a top player to pick them. No need for franchising, just have 8 auto qual for main event, that is enough.

Bro is not 26 at least pushing 28,29

Not saying it’s okay for him to say racist stuff like that obviously not okay but the amount of things high schoolers say that they don’t actually think about is crazy so it’s really not surprising to see just he’s the only one that’s been recorded imo. Kids just say anything for a laugh

Lmfao Jhonny trying to cope so hard. If this was any NA team he would'nt even bat an eye. He is so dillusional for saying the format is alright before.

Moist should go back to EU. This new team is ass pick up Jobless they seem to be doing much better

Well I'm from the United States and i 💯 believe in the 1st amendment. And right to free speech. Tho i dont agree with what was said. I believe everyone is allowed to say anything they want. So no i dont think he should be banned at all or anything

ssa ruined by spain? where was johnny when furia/complexity/gen g were taking na's spots at lan? he said it was fine then. just like he didnt care at the 100s of other teams that had 2 hard qual matches until it was kc. i been getting annoyed at just how bias this guy has been. literally last saturday he was calling g2 "failures" because "they were built to win lans" then the next day hes saying we need to change the format to accommodate kc. like shouldnt they just be "failures" because "they were built to win"?

The copium in this video is a joke. Talking about how its hard for the #1 team (KC) to be consistent. Mean while G2 has been was more consistent than KC. They have not only qualified for every event and the first team to qualify for worlds, but also have made the Grand finals of every event. Yet highest they have rated them is top 5. What a joke of biased compium.

I don't like rules for some and not all. Certain words in the US are offensive but also used as common labels. At one point I was banned from rocket league repeatedly for nearly a year, I'd type a word in a lobby after everyone left and get auto-banned for harassment. As a protest. I would open a ticket and simply ask why am I banned WHO am I harassing... myself?!?! I lost a few friends in-game over my absolute refusal to let it go. It's dumb. It's against my American values and if you don't understand the importance of dying on that hill, you aren't paying attention to the world. I got banned for saying something like, "One of my favorite comedian's is Richard Pryor and one of his albums is called That N***er's Crazy" There is no offense. It's absolutely stupid to be banned. Sure nwpo used one in a worse context, but still it's just mouth noises. I now use many racial slurs with word replacements. Ninja please. My nickles. I hate all nickels. Think what you like about my insanity, I'd rather be right and alone than go along with everyone's utter nonsense. The answer is we should let people use slurs and when someone uses one in the worst way AT someone. That is the same as them screaming out loud I'm ignorant and letting everyone else know it. I see absolutely nothing wrong with knowing who these losers are. Let's see if KZfaq even lets this post, lol.

words can't be racist, only intentions. Words are just sounds most of the time, hate is racist. racism is hate. I'm sick of this sensitivity.
