Sorry I fully forgot to mention this in the video In February of 2022, zen was banned from all Psyonix-operated tournaments until February 20th, 2023, for illegally subbing in the RLCS X - Fall: Europe Regional 1 - Closed Qualifier while he was an underage and unregistered player.

Hey Thanovic, I was wondering what ur opinion on switching controls later in ur Rocket league career… I’m around C2 (in twos) and I struggle doing fast Ariel’s because of how my controls are setup and because I don’t practice it as much as I should… I’ve gotten use to doing double jumps but I need to learn speed Ariel’s… so I’m debating if I should switch my boost from Circle to which ever airroll (cuz I have both airroll left and right on my bumpers) I don’t use as much… I know it’s a lot for such a simple question….

Once I knew what was air roll I knew I had to bind both in order to have a better car control, I did and I am working on it but the most difficult thing about it is that you need to get to know what your car does when using air roll and joystick in different directions. So when playin you'll know what to do in order for your car to move exactly where it needs to move in the air.

Okay but hear me out. This is a DREAM team that i’ve thought of recently but sadly it’ll probably never come true for a few reasons. Zen, Nwpo, and Dark(?). Can you imagine that team? 3 Young Prodigies together like that could make history. I just want to see a creator make it happen because that team against a Pro team would be such an interesting match to watch.

just saying, having 3 mechanical monsters on a team means that one would have to play a 3rd man role. For example, Moist Esports last year. We all know that Vatira is capable of being an absolute machine on offense, but had to play a more defensive role while teamed with Rise and Joyo. The fact that Vatira was a god on defence as well was what held the team together.

I'm recovering from a pretty extensive shoulder surgery. I've been stuck in c1 and c2 for years now. I have no issue beating gc, even ssl in casual but can't seem to push in ranked its win then lose win then lose. I want to while recovering try and work on my mechanics, I know that's something I'm weak in. How long should I practice them? I know that just sitting practicing 1 mechanic for hours a day isn't the best idea and I also know that trains bad habits. Any input on what to practice and how long is greatly appreciated. Thank you. P.S. keep up the good work. One of my favorite RL KZfaqrs I watch every video and always learn something new!

@EluSivEPrOdiGy1 Жыл бұрын
If you're in plat, then just practice basic mechanics, team play is something at the higher ranks. Also a lot of plat players think Rollin the ball on back wall is an "open net" if you take 2 people out of the play completely you're teamate will score more than 50% of the time which in turn will win you more than 50% of your games. But until about c2 and higher team play is not as easy to pull off. Hense why practicing your mechanics is still vital. If you can CONSISTANTLY (80-90%) place a shot on net with 80+KPH you will reach champ very easily. And I mean every time you have the chance, not 3/10 tries. Not 5/10 tries, you need to be able to place the ball on target with speed 80-90% once you reach gc a 80kph ball unless slotted into a corner of the net will almost never make it. Always think, will this work in the higher ranks if not then it may not be the most optimal play, it may work now but eventually you will hit thag plateau so it's good to learn that mentality now!
@EluSivEPrOdiGy1 Жыл бұрын
I had a plat smurf that I was playing with a friend, (I am a gc 2) and I literally couldn't use a controller and not hard carry even just driving around not leaving the ground, there is tons of mistakes and chasing just slow down analyze and progress. I literally changed over to M&K (never play it) was learning the key binds and still carrying plat lobbies from game sense alone
@morbid1. Жыл бұрын
I changed my play style some time ago... I drive more on ground and over small pads but it pisses me off when i interrupt opponents play but my team mate is on the other side of the field going for back big boost instead of do a loop i mid and grab almost 100. People following you, going for boost instead defend, not doing bumps or demos at all even in 2v1 situation... I really wish there was some mandatory training for that. It's so annoying to have people that just smack the ball and go back for big boost.

No cap my friends always say pick an air roll and stay with it. I'm over here like what no, the more you have control of your car the faster and better you can be. I have been doing nothing, but practicing my mechs for the past months honing them to be better. I decided to play ranked and won 8 games in a row pushing almost back to 1500 again. I have flashy mechs and playing the game for fun, but when I put my mind to it I can win games easily. I'm gonna hit ssl next season just to show my one of my friends who did hit it that I'm still as good as him.

It is better for sure. You get more capabilities to control your car in the air. Simple as that. Surely you have to take the advantage of this by train your mechanics. There are very good players with only 1 air roll button but with 2 buttons you get even better control.

I mean not to be that guy but loads of these stuff many pros do with small differences and out of all the unique pros that are being known currently I think you should have made this video about Dark the insane MENA mechanical pogo demon since he has the edge right now. This video would have been better posted when he got banned like 8 months ago but right now he is just another high level ranked player who doesn't have the chance to go pro since he is banned. I know he is insane and according to AppJack "Whoever gets this guy... just wins" which is fair. In the end it is a video and this comment was just for improvement. The videos are insane Thano

@EluSivEPrOdiGy1 Жыл бұрын
Another huge thing in your mentality is you're viewing yourself as a bad player. If you have weaknesses like car control etc thats ok, practice them daily, learn directional air roll (at least one side) and practice. And when you play in a ranked match think, "I am he best player in the lobby" even if there is a smurf, having that mentality eliminates your hesitation, and misplays, trust yourself and if you make mistakes learn from it. Watch your replays, not just from your POV but your teamates, there is so many times I and others even in gc2 cut their teamate unknowingly, because their teamate was reading the situation/slow playing but you think oh, they are not wanting to go, I'll make a touch etc. Just keep your head up and grind. I have 4 to 5k hours and still in gc 2 area. I have friends with 1k hours in the gc1-gc 3 area and friends with 2 to 3 k hours in SSL. Everyone learns at different rates you got this!

You need to have a genuine love for the game to reach professional level, and if you don’t it’s not worth trying to, personally I can say I’ve finally accepted that I just won’t hit that level considering I’ve played the game for 4 years and only have 700 hours, and it’s not that I don’t have time, it’s that I don’t want to play. I play it as a hobby Even if you have work and only play the game for 3-4 hours you can become good if you’re committed, one again you have to love the game though
