As a Diamond player, the main thing I've noticed holding me and my teammates back from higher ranks is how often we hit the ball forward with power, but for no reason, just giving possession away instead of trying to set up a play

This is the sort of RL content the world needs. Brief analysis at various skill levels and how to improve between those skill levels. I'd love to see this format more but with different players. Because not everyone in a skill bracket performs the same way in various situations, so seeing this sort of breakdown over many different players in each bracket would be such quality content.

Just wanna say thank you for the opportunity to participate in this video (edit: for those of you wondering i was the grand champion in this video)

when i hit gc2 last season i got to say is when i really believe in myself and had 100% confidence now days i’m not sure as much. i’m around gc1 div3 rn and i know what i need to work on. but something u brought up that soemtimes i forget is the ssl they know their limits what to go for. many times where in the end the ssl was backwards ariel and decide to drop bc he knew he couldn’t reach. everyone that happens to me i decide to stick with it and end up getting beat and score on.

I'm commenting about players who don't flip in kickoffs up in plat/diamond (was me) It's due to the consistency you get with the final ball contact and the fact that the other player is often slow as well. It's hard for lower ranked players to be accurate in their first flip so the best way to have a consistent kickoff is just to drive straight at it. Now that I'm in d3-c1 I'm seeing more fast kickoffs . so the plain drive and even frontflip often isnt fast enough. So now working on a good speedflip on kickoff which is a process.

It's really cool to see how toxic people are at champ cause they think they deserve grand champ but then if you compare the two replays, you then realise that you don't at all and there are lots of improvements, this has really opened my eyes as a hardstuck c1 - c2 for 1 year for what to work on to get gc lol :)

The gold was miles better than the plat in the first bit

You should do a video on estimating the hapiness of each rank. Overall outlook on game, reactions to great goals. How much they watch videos. What they do to stay happy when not playing. Idk just an idea. Cool video

Thanks for letting me be part of this video! The editing and production on this is incredible too :D

Fantastic video and analysis thanovic! I haven’t seen a rank break down quit like this from anyone else. Nice job

Wow, this involved actual research and analysis. Thanks, dude! Normally these videos are not using actual gameplay examples.

Been wanting something like this and you did it better than I imagined. Great work!

Some great tips, Than, been having fun with those training packs and getting knowledge from your other vids since then. Great stuff and keep rockin' the great content!

im hard stuck c3 tbh i know what im lacking but im just lazy to actually practice on it. this game is just crazy that you can dedicate so many hours and still not improve if youre not doing it right

This is the perfect content for me as a Plat 3 that dips into diamond 1 sometimes… Thank you so much this actually helps more than you might realize

this helped me from being diamond 1 going to diamond 2 div 3 already just because at recoveries u said boost managment. Thats when i learned about that. Thank you so much Thanovic and great Video by the way ♥

Thank you for letting me participate! These tips are so helpful! Yes, I know, I was a champ that didnt speed flip and I hated it. For some reason I just couldnt get the movement down. But after coming back from Boston LAN Ive had more confidence and have started speed flipping in every game since.

Thanks for the tips. I will use them.

Interesting video ! There's one thing I have come around on, I remember on one of your old kick off tutorial I think you said that you should always try to flip on kick offs, you also were surprised to see lower ranked players not flipping in their gameplay in this video. I used to try to apply this way of thinking to my own gameplay, but I would say that at a C2 level in 2s, a third of the players still don't flip on kick offs, and have found ways to counter most kick offs with different timing on their dodges. I used to think it was stupid, and still think it's not going to help them train on the long run, but with the consistency of most champs players on their flips or speedflips, I have to admit that not flipping, at least at my level, is absolutely viable and can be consistent. My wife, with whom I play 100% of my 2s games, is also C2 and that's the only kick off she does, she's just developed different timings depending on her opponents. I have thus added the run straight at the ball kick off to my arsenal in my 2s ranked games, mixing it with diagonal and speedflips. However, I agree that in 1s if you don't speedflip you're going to be hopeless past D2 ! Thanks for the video

It's also okay not to rank up or get better, long as you're having fun.

This video truly was nice to watch and I can see you put a lot of effort to it, there's just one thing that I think could be improved : when you're trying to teach someone something, it's important to give actionnable advice. There are points in the video where you advise the players to play faster, think faster, etc., but it's not really something you can work on by itself. Players in higher ranks DO play faster, but you can't really improve by solely trying to do so. So, pointing out the fact that there is a speed difference between ranks can be a good thing, but you can't really tell someone to play faster or think faster. Other than that, once again, I enjoyed the video, it was really well put together, and I can't wait to delve even more in your RL content !

thanks for the video, it helps a lot with progressing.

Weirdly such a useful video. Currently GC1 but not sure what else there is to do but now I know what my next steps for improvement are.

Great vid!

I feel like in champ in OCE, you will see everything between speedflip wave dash kick offs to just driving at the ball

Very good video, I enjoyed it a lot. Puts all the ranks in a nice perception. Very low Grand Champ/very high Champ here.

Really really good video 🔥

How is the gold better than the plat at speed trials 💀

Ty very helpful!

Love ur vids

Thank you for your videos I watched your guides and in under 50 hrs of game time I landed in gold 2 in 3v3 ty ty

W vid, rlly entertaining

Thanks for making content 🙏🏼🫵🏽🤌🏼

LEGENDS BACK WITH A BANGER

Loving the clarity of this video. What is the name/code of the trainingpack?

Big thank you to the players who give space to other players in 3s💀

Hey Thanovic , thanks for the video. As a player who just can't seem to get even gold, I wanted to see what they do different. It really helped. By the way, do you know how to get workshop maps? I have a PC, I just don't know how to get them on my computer.

I just did the grind to unlock ranked as a new player to the game. Most of my placement matches was 1v2 as the opponents scored a single quick goal and my teammate just leaves. I still won the majority of the games. I placed gold. I’m far from my peak and am getting better with every match and every hit. One beyond truthful thing is that there is no trust at this rank. Everyone chases like there is no tomorrow. Hitting the ball without any care of where that ball will go or who it will go to. So many times my teammates climbs the wall and sets up perfect shots for the opponent then flames without communicating their intentions. I’ll get flamed for passing the ball to my teammates or faking a play to set my teammate up for a good shot because I don’t have the angle and always communicating with my m8s through out. I feel like with more air practice I would be at least plat. I need a buddy to do this with so I don’t have to resort to being more defensive because my randoms chase and just hit the ball to hit the ball.

Been stuck in diamond 3 forever so I hope this helps me. Also what we’re those shooting training packs?

I noticed from watching GC and SSL games that I play around GC2 level but I just can't get up higher than Champion 1 most of the times even though I've been at 1431mmr already and keep dropping from C2 and C3 back to C1 and I honestly think it is because I solo queue. My defense is really good and it is often my teammates that hesitate or go too late

Shoutout to the gc guardians keeping people at champ 3 yall doing gods work

It's so frustrating how during my climb back to GC this season how many champs could flip reset but not flip on kickoff. Glad this was pointed out 💀

I am champ 3 div4 and am trying to reach gc and im not very mechanical but i will say if im just a little bit faster it could be the difference. And less mistakes, i really gotta get that consistency

Nice 😊❤

I alr know this video about to be a W

Yeah i cant get that mechanical with my current controller, well my mechs are now 50/50 and still carrying all my tm8s at c2 in 2s and almost got back up to c1 in 1s which i got yesterday

That GC is cracked

Babe wake up a new Thanovic Rocket leauge vid just dropped 🗣🗣

alot of champs and diamonds do flip on kickoff the players that you picked just didnt. Although alot dont either.

The only thing holding me back from getting platinum was my confidence in aerials and learning to half-flipping

I have to say in the 100s of games I’ve played in Champ i have only 10 games maybe that didn’t flip on kickoff. Most can actually speed flip.

im gc2 and still miss open nets

Gold is just hitting the ball and praying it goes into the opponent's net

Great video! But you should probably update this video because players are getting more mechanical. Im a d1 in 2s and plat 3 in 1s and every single person, me included, in whatever gamemode I play can air roll and hit flip resets consistently.

I have a question about the segment in champ gameplay about confidence. How do i become more confident in my desicions on the pitch? I often have trouble reacting quick enough and i have issues with being confidant enough to do aireals, i often would rather wait for the ball to come down or for the opponent to hit it away.

2:00 true diamond can not boost and air roll at the same time

Currently I'm c2 on ps4 and a big ahh screen but the next month I'm switching to pc and I'm not stopping until I reach ssl

So what I learned is be better and faster…sick

That was a good Gold player!

being a platinum, ive actually realised i am different to the other people my rank. for some reason, I can control the car better, dribble and flick better and use airroll, boost and turn in the air confortably, but im still in plat 💀💀

Video idea: Rocket league 1v1 or 2v2 or 3v3 where everyone has name tags disabled and everyone has the same car and color so no one knows who is who

i need that ssl preset now

Can you do a video of how to train hesitation?

I just cant seem to get air rolling down to where I can manipulate my car in the air, thats something that Ive been stuck learning since 2016

Unrelated but, is it necessary to learn right/left air roll over the normal air roll

this video taught me as a consistent champ for 3 seasons im really terrible at the game lol

Hey Thanovic, I'm a player that fluctuates between gold and plat but can speed flip. I'm not very good with aerials but am working on them. I feel like I get good power on the ground and I trust my teammates. Do you have any training packs you would suggest?

Whats the number of the training pack?

Abt the diamond and champ players…. Every opponent from me flips at the kickoff but the other things look like mine😮

How do you play that game mode

Brooo this content is Fucking rich in information and advices ! Big up and thkx

Love how you emphasized "being used for the sake of being used" such a massive downfall

how can i get this workshop map and the code for traning pack

what was with the champs kick off

We need a car design vid

Question, i had heard something about them bringing a few of the main workshop maps to console such as leth’s rings to console, anyone know if this is true?

1:09 muscle memory of conserving boost

whats the decal that the SSL is using?

Is there any tip for ground movements I feel like I turn less the gc/ssl yet we have the same sens or close I know drifting is part of it and yet even I find that I turn less

My biggest flaw as a d3 is hesitation I always overthink the n just get dunked

Go from c2 to gc 2 i dont know what that means but i peaked gc 2 div 4 and the difference in teammate is massive. But my peak is as well. Highly inconsistant player i am

i feel like the gold was better than the plat but might only be in gold because of something like ballchasing cuz i didn’t rank up from gold for 4 weeks because i used to ball chase

if i compered myself i guess my skill lvl dia/champ, but my desision making like closely a ssl and that give me tha champ, but not enought how i keep it so need to improve my skill/mehanics, how able to made improve my game sance with that desision making and also not want to go upper ranks, d3-c1 is good place for me(the opponent skilled and enougth fast, how not seens boring) but i not refuse rank up, if its happaned, i try myself on that rank

what map was used in the video?

Yeah idk I'm c2 and stopped flipping on kickoff and win at least 70 percent of kickoffs vs flips idk

map code? for the movement map?

sweatmaster is my friend irl and droped his rank from d1 to gold.3 to be in the vid XD

Where are you finding these players. The champ and below should all be moved a rank down other than the gold

any1 know what the decal the ssl is using is called

I've tried flipping at kickoffs but it's not worth it, it throws me off so half of the time I nearly miss the ball. I imagine it's the same for a lot of other gold/plats too.

PLZ SOMEONE TELL ME THAT SSL's PAINT FINISH OR DECAL WHATEVER HE'S WEREING

I was surprised when the diamond and champ did not flip off kick off

Stuck in 💎..

That plat was different cus every plat-champ game i used to play(im gc), they always speed flipped alot😅

I have been searching through the comments but what is the name of this time trial map?

what is the decal of the SSL?

Cool

I am at c2-c3 and have been airrolling from d2 sooo I want surpised to see that the champ didn't

I already do all of this stuff, I am plat 1 and even on my goal line, if I have space and the oposition team is going for boost, Instead of banging it down field to them, I take my time and pop a ground to air dribble or usually I just take the ball up the wall bc plats have really poor wall defence and Its easy for me to hit it under or over them. when I say take it up the wall I dont mean air dribbling, even tho I can do that. I even wave dash off wall recoveries when I need to, I line up my car perfectly if I miss the ball on an aerial shot so that I land tires first on the wall. and I learnt to flip cancel and half flip for recoveries. I learn from pro 1v1s, Mainly Zen dominating, but ye I learn from watching a lot of RLCS and I put their game play into my game play.

can someone pls tell me what the ssl's fennec skin is called, pls and thx
