Yo here after flakes without mechanics series

its funny cuz he didn’t do anything more advanced than he did in his no mechanics series

Just got here too, this match is like tortoise and the hare I love it. Is flakes still "in the scene" ? Was hoping for some more showmatches with him.

"Should I go for kickoff goals yet? That's probably too mechanical."

😂😂😂😂

Thijs, you Dutch?

Flakes is shit

@@gamerdude3363 Salty

pffffft that's easy you need to breathe

kzack but... but... then there might be a goal scored while I do it!!

My favorite one is First x Firewall. It’s amazing how almost every top series has Firstkiller on it

LuxP uh correct this one is insane too

well said :)

ben bird Flakes did 3-1 against First 7 months ago in The Four

I heard from the inside that this entire world finals has been scripted. And every player got paid pretty decent for the saltiest entertainment to go down in history.

@@hutrillz.official >saltiest entertainment That's an overstatement.There's been like 4 total salt exchanges from NA and EU combined.

@@Jarhead1407 please.bro, tell me where I can find such high grade salt for free elsewhere?

@@hutrillz.official At your local store

Drek Nice one lad xD

Rocket league plays stop being so dumb rlcs doesn’t have anything to do with 1v1s.

Rocket league plays people say what they want stop being a little bitch

Rocket league plays i just enjoy the match m8

zyad Othman ماعليك منه، هذا من اللحوج حقهم .

Exactly, i did not notice any of the two being affected by servers

I was literally frustrated that they lost on home servers and won on away lmao

Firstkiller could have won this in a sweep by doing 1 thing. If he tried challenging as early as possible, Flakes wouldn't be able to start the dribbles. Flakes is also very one-dimensional as he never goes in the air for offense, so cutting him off early on the ground would force a change.

@@MaxVerstappenTheGoat It's pretty clear that you're not very high rank in ones if you believe that. If you watch the games again and look closely you would figure that firstkiller did try some (not a lot, but some) early challenges, a few succeeded but most of them ended up by seeing Flakes flicking the ball instantly and get it past him, often scoring. Early challenges are a clutch and risky move that you need to use when the opponent isn't expecting you to do so, otherwise you'll get destroyed. It works at lower ranks because usually your opponents touches are bad, and the ball is often coming towards you, which makes it hard for the player in control to outplay an early challenge because he makes it hard for himself to quickly do something efficient with the ball. If you look at these lads playing, most of the time their dribbling is controlled and diving early when they expect you to do so means you'll see the ball get passed you for sure. A controlled dribble gives you plenty of options for an outplay, and "challenging as soon as possible before he starts the dribble" doesn't make sense because as soon as your opponent have possession of the ball after you gave it to him/went for boost/lost a kick off/got challenged/saw your shot get saved he's already "dribbling", since he can do whatever he wants with the ball. It is the definition of ball possession, he is closer to the ball than you are which means that if you both go for it at the same time you'll get beaten... And the smart move in this case is thinking to make him give it back to you and denying his attack, not diving towards the ball and hoping for the best or a slow reaction time or a lucky 50/50 because a good player WILL fuck you up. Besides, even if you don't play 1v1s a lot, you should consider the following. If you believe that Flakes is top10 ladder while having weak aerial offense, or that Firstkiller didn't think about early challenges when he has played thousands of 1s games you surely should double-check your reasoning. You have very few chances of being right (which doesn't mean you're necessarly wrong, but at least it should push you to doubt a lil bit). Flakes decides not to go for aerials in 1s because he finds it risky and believes that there are more efficient ways of scoring. Firstkiller knows that he can early challenge but only does it when he thinks that will grant him ball possession and not dives when the opponent expects it, or if his challenge would get him in a bad position even when assuming that he gets his 50/50 and doesn't see the ball get flicked over him or get faked. I'm not saying you should fully agree with either of those two but just respect the fact that they probably know the game at least as well as you do (in fact, waaay better) and don't just assert that simple mechanics would have made someone win 100% without deeply thinking about it. Like cmon bruh they have brains aswell... and some of the best experience in the field. It doesn't mean you're automatically wrong and I'm not blaming you for challenging their decisions, but odds aren't in your favor, which is in contradiction with claiming such a thing with confidence. Unless you're considering that most people aren't always using their brain, which is not wrong, but in this very case these dudes (and it is not the case for every pro..) do think while playing.

@@rayzoow5326 what rank are you in 1s, don't you dare doubt First, he's an animal.

Yea first weakness is being slow played

Anepicflyingbrick _ i agree, both very deceptive players who mix things up. Never overextending and only taking calculated risks. Cant wait

@@verybored2416 Be interesting to see him vs Kuxir.

stagmeyer Old Kux or Scrub from a few seasons ago. 🥺 The good old days bois.

stagmeyer I mean he would wipe the floor with the old prime kux bc how the meta and mechanics have changed, but if kux got back in top 1v1 form now I think he would destroy first

hmmmm....

smart, if it did sound like fart i wouid give it to ya, but its clearly smart

I put it in .5 speed to make sure and indeed he said fart

what do you mean?

And Panda from Dig

Zet em op Flakes!!

Or maybe youre better at 1s now because its been so long since you played 1s, improved and started playing 1s again after you improved. Lol thats only natural on

Why did I look at the comments before watching it, now I know whose gonna win each game lol

@@NightRyder Actually not all the games were comebacks so you're fine.

@@a7mdenoA7x yh they weren't haha

@@gregansbootstrap5352 that's just bullshit

Maddox Mack that is bullshit but eekso was playing very bad against lethamyr. Much worse than usual

@@imjustvibing7268 although i dont disagree with you, i think leths playstyle definitely contributed to that.

ExoticNibbles agreed

It was a tripletouch

ya the shot was nuts definately has the best mechanics in the world

@@itzame9428 True! Edited my comment

tinasthemeyay its a double touch

Lmaooo

The for pointing this out Lmao

Lmao

And the state of his car..

Trickster exactly. I been watching everyone in the comments hype him up in these past few videos like no boys and girls. Watch and learn.

I mean that wasnt gonna happen even if he made it LUL

nobody even considered that lul. All we wanted to see was firstkiller getting totally clapped by okhalid. firstkiller is wayyy below his class but hes prime salt mine material.

Guys we should not think of matchups as this concept: A beats B and B beats C, so A is better than C. Instead, always look at it as rock paper scissors.

@@NexenTriz Not even Rock Paper Scissors, RPS is always the same, results in 1v1's will change from day to day.

@@juicylmao1544 dude, asshole move.

Come back please

Not funny

Infamous Panik im a Silver LOL but it was very clear to see that flakes exposed first weakness that is slow play, if he can fix that he can be the best in the world

This is Casey Amick you forgot that first has better chance against okhalid

IMO. First vs khalid would have been boring. first would just chase just like he did this time. Flakes khalid and leth are all players that rely on using their heads and that makes their games fun to watch. I would take 1v1 iq over mechanics any day. That's just my opinion.

bait of excellent quality

@@infamouspanik1772 you sir are a genius

He's no longer in complexity? If that's the case, why?

@@oie4074 Complexity dropped the entire roster. I think they left rocket league but idk.

After Complexity went winless this last season, they were relegated to RLRS. They lost in the finals of the tournament, and they didn't make it back to RLCS. All the players were dropped from the roster. Complexity said they are looking for high quality players for their next team. Flakes on the other hand is LFT now, trying to find a team to pick him up.

Alex Castillo Should’ve just dropped greazy and looked for a third imo

@@omgpuppet Still would be on RLRS and I think Complexity had enough being a 2nd tier roster

Recon13x flakes made first look worse than he is using intelligence

@@Aisatsana1971 this was no doubt a mechanics vs IQ match, but it just felt like First made better decisions at the start of NA Salt, and slowly did worse until he finally lost to Leth. And he did not do any better here. This is not to take away from the fact that Flakes plays a very smart game and play awesome here.

Flakes read him like a book and forced first into bad areas. It's not that first didn't play well its just that flakes is better and hence why he usually beats firstkiller

Jonesy Jones Easy win By oKhalid !!! He is Best player in the world ! And in RL He Can’t lose !!

@@a7m90 and still he's gonna lose in the final against Flakes

@@marcvanderklij6006 hey son, go back watch how okhalid destroyed the whole europe then come here comment wisely

@@turkithemaster2841 Don't be so sure. Flakes didn't look his best in the manfield 5k, but he made an amazing run in the gauntlet. Then he took over the eu scene. I think if we get a flakes vs okhalid that it will be a good match up this time. Though I think Khalid will most likely win there's always a chance.

Hmmmm yeh I don't think first killer would come close to okhalid

because it is fax

gg for every gg chronic prolly the only player that can beat him lol

Because like for First, Okhalid has a big group of people that think he is jesus as well. 😂

@@f4na7ic2 well he is a huge favorite in the tournament. First of all, he's insane mechanically. Second, he's used to high ping, something that seems to play a huge role in this tournament

Well, he's the only one who is completely unaffected by ping.
