The Rise and Fall of The Best Rocket League Player In The World
Рет қаралды 2,393,226
Күн бұрынThis is the story of Kronovi's rise and fall as the best Rocket League player in the world. At one point, Kronovi was the most dominant Rocket League player in the world. Obviously he isn't anymore. Today we cover his story of how he rose to the top and consequently fell back down.

At his peak, Kronovi was the most dominant player in the world by far. The fact that he was able to 2v1 two other professional players and win, shows just how far above the rest of the competition he was. No one else was even close. Even the best pro players today aren't that far above the rest of the competition. They could still lose to another team on any given day. But Kronovi was so dominant that is was an anomaly any time he lost in the early months of the game. This is his story of how he suddenly rose to fame out of nowhere, and eventually slowly fell out of the main competition.

the "i am the mountain that people need to climb" quote really made me dislike him as a character. Soon after season one people climbed this so called mountain. And there were a lot of talented people, with better attitudes and were more entertaining to watch. Also i find it weird that this video is about "the best rocket league player ever" and people like GarettG, Kaydop, Scrub and Fairy peak are not even mentioned. Garett won every a title every year he attended except one where he placed 2nd place. The others i mentioned achieved much more on the highest level than Kronovi ever did. So in my honest opinion Kronovi is not even close to being the best RL player of all time. Even in season 2 there were some far greater than him

This is like any other sport. Kronovi was a pioneer who laid the groundwork for the next generation. No pitcher from the early 1900s could make it in the MLB today, and Esports have even more volatile growth than more conventional sports, so it makes sense that he couldn’t stay on top forever. However, he will always be one of the greats

To Kronovi's defence, no other esport is as unforgiving as this one. Top pro players last no more than two or three seasons in this game. It's much different compared to many other esports were there's 27-28 yo players still dominating after years of them playing.
@LasseLundster Жыл бұрын
Which is what makes Squishy the GOAT for me, nobody else has been that relevant. I think the skill ceiling always raises in every game. The absolutely best e-sports players in their genre, Faker, Viper and Flash/Jaedong etc would at their peak lose in direct comparison to the best current players, but that doesn't damper their absolute dominating rule of their time.
@davidebic Жыл бұрын
@@LasseLundster Then Kronovi would be the strongest Rocket League player to have ever existed. As the video said, at the start of Rocket League as an esport Kronovi could solo carry teams to victories in major competitions. No other RL player has achieved that ever since. Still, Squishy is definetly one of the most dominant RL players as he managed to win the world championship twice.

@@davidebic I agree, but including overall span of competetive career and the state of competition as factors beyond only level of reign, as Kronovi was a battle car pro at release in a young scene. I think a strong case can be made for both as overall bonjwa, and it's just my personal opinion that overall factors outweigh peak skill level gap from you to the scene, especially considering the above, weighs slightly less. But I wouldn't be surprised if Kronovi was declared the GOAT, either, and support either opinion.

I was able to witness the beginning of rocket league's skill ceiling long ago, and it's incredible how far the game has come. This game would be nothing without Kronovi's investments and it makes me so happy to see videos like this. Great job.

This is kind of wrong, because in RLCS 1, Kronovi's team was actually considered to be an underdog. At this point Kuxir's Team Flipsid3 Tactics was considered to be the best team in the world, and Kuxir the best player. The video is really good, but it feels like it's overly portraying Kronovi as the undisputed best, when him and Kuxir were always very much equals. You can make an argument for Kronovi being the best, but not while leaving Kux out of the picture like this.

EXCELLENT premise and delivery of content in this video. I would have loved to hear from Kronovi about what he believes led to that decline. Was he not practicing enough? Were there challenging life circumstances at that point in his life? Was he just simply being outplayed for no reason at all? I think a short interview with him would have been very enlightening for all of us (an interview I'm assuming you tried to obtain). After seeing this video he may be more motivated to give his side of the story and what he believes led to his fall from the top. I would love to hear from him concerning this particular topic.

This brings back so many memories of the early days of Rocket League. He is one of the reasons I started playing this game a lot and have loved it ever since. . Kro is one of the 'pioneers' of RL

So how did you learn it? I'm like 700 hours in (Plat 1, so couldn't be more average ;) ), tried to train it and watched tutorials, but kept getting frustrated and never mastered it. Is there any special trick or something about how I can learn and practice it?
@lukeiify Жыл бұрын
@@bruellbart2380 definitely free play. Just spend time chilling in free play listening to music, watching a show in the background, but spend time in free play. I also suggest trying to find players higher level than you to play with. You’ll improve so much by running constantly with people better than you.

Love the content. I began playing in like June or July 2015. Kronovi was definitely the undisputed king then. By July 2016, it was a battle between him, Marky, Kux, and Paaschy. You noted this well most of his rivals have long retired. A garden variety GC 1 is better than the best back then. That Mount Kronovi is relevant is pretty amazing.
@fatoeki Жыл бұрын
I began around the same time. Yes Kronovi was the best back then, but for a long time I saw Kux as the best and I thought this video might be about him to be honest. Where Kronovi dit a lot in the beginning, Kux got to the top when the competition was a lot more on fire and watching him felt like watching a wizard with a lot of tricks up his sleeve and a reaction time that didn't seem possible. Still, in terms of popularity and his early rise I understand he gave Kronovi the title.

It's not even bad that he got surpassed, he pretty much pioneered the advanced techniques in the game, and it's only gone up from there. That's just the way of things, everything and everyone gets to learn things earlier and improve on them, that's how everything progresses and evolves.

Damn. It's really weird to think about how much the game has changed. I didn't follow rlcs and just heard rumors about kronovi and maybe watched him on twitch a couple times. Used to think he was godlike. 6 years later I hit GC and apparently kronovi was playing like a high diamond that whole time. Wild. Time truly changes almost everything.

This video is incredible and I’m glad he’s getting recognition for the bar he set early on. I just recently started getting back into RL and I was wondering why I haven’t heard his name mentioned in any RL content. I’ve been seeing Zen’s name everywhere and I’m wondering if he will be the next “Kronovi” in that he will be the undisputed best player in the world for a while.

This kinda reminds me of Einstein in a way. If we take an average physicist and compare it to Einstein, the average physicist would have way more knowledge and skill than Einstein. But Einstein is truly amazing for his ability to come up with complex and phenomenal theories with little technology.

@@hesaidchest well it’s not just about technology. We physicists learn many of the ideas Einstein had to put a lot of thought into at such an early time. The concepts that physicists at that time would struggle with is what modern physicists learn during uni or even high school.

I played RL for about 50ish hours with some friends back in 2014. Haven’t touched the game since and now I’m having a lot of fun trying it. Kronovi was definitely the only pro I heard about back when RLCS started and I remember watching teams like IBP vs Flipside tactics 😂 this game has changed so much and when I got back into RL about a couple months ago I was definitely wondering where kronovi was. Nice video
