Everything you said is accurate. The problem is GC and down players rarely make decisions well. Either they always stick around without boost, control every ball in front of net in a 1 v 2 or push another of these ideas to an extreme. I would love to see more content about players being honest with their capabilities and just letting the opponents make mistakes. Bc they will almost all throw if you bang it over their heads and let them try to make the 1/10 perfect play. This is how my old man hands gets GC in multiple playlists every season.

Yes, because rocket league is a situational game. You must be able to recognize what the best play is according to your situation, which realistically, comes after thousands of hours of gaming.

I have like 4k hours in game and still can’t decide correctly. And I don’t know why. IFK how to tell what my mental block is. IDK if I’m OVERESTIMATING my abilities and playing too aggressive, or underestimating and too passive. But it’s probably both of those in any given game
@DKOILive4 ай бұрын
I do not think it is a "problem", it is a part of learning curve. Step 1 - don't miss the ball when you don't mean to Step 2 - do not hit the ball when your teammate intends to hit it Step 3 - when you hit the ball, hit it in the direction you intend too Step 4 - when you are not hitting the ball, position yourself to follow up the play Step 5 - do all previous steps faster Step 6 - refine Step 1-5 until perfection

I swear man, all this videos are soo useful. I was a bronze player only 2 weeks ago then climbed up to GC3 simply from watching 2 road to SSL series (leth's and flakes') and now, after seeing your video I finally got what I needed to make the final stretch to SSL. I thought that RL it's one of those games where advices don't really matter at all cause it's a fast paced game where you don't have time to remember all the single advices every one told you. So you simply have to play enough to actually improve at your own pace and any strategic and tactical advice simply can't be implemented cause somebody else told you to do it. But woow, apparently I was 100% wrong. I have to say, it's truly amazing how helpful this videos are and how they taught me to stop time and actually have as much as 4839 minutes to think about the most optimal choice in every single position. I owe my SSL rank entirely to you Virge, to Leth and Flakes. Hopefully watching this kind of videos and also some tutorials on how to half flip and double flip reset, I will become pro in about 2 weeks time. Wish me luck Virge.

one of my biggest gripes about RL esports is the coaches act as basically mascots...even at the higher level, pro level, what does a coach do in any other sport? they study the game, study weaknesses, devise strategy and consult the team on the best way to move forward with all this info and devise practice for specific players....this doesnt happen in RL esports as much as it needs to, no shade here, but id suggest instead of asking a youtuber like this for stuff to show your team, you should be creating it yourself to help your team individually, watching their replays, seeing their weaknesses, and devising strategy....that being said, theres absolutely no harm in getting ideas from channels like this either. Its just...in my opinion, a coach in RL esports, should literally be doing what Virge is doing.

@ironyusedincorrectly9 ай бұрын
Players are always holding each other back. I recognize all these mistakes from my own play, but so often when trying to correct positioning errors your team mate immediately starts calling you out for not making plays. Meanwhile they're going supersonic all the time, but never making meaningful contact with the ball. And before anyone says "well go play casual then", honestly the most toxic games of my life have somehow been in casual lobbies. I've no idea what they're all so mad about in there.

And then you get stuck with a tm8 throwing out the 'take the shot' quick chat every 2 secs, no concept of defense, because they've just passed the ball, regardless of the fact that the ball is on its way to an opponent, so I MUST take the shot. And then I whiff and it's all my fault :/ And then the OMG! / Wow! quick chat comes out immediately 😅

I myself was pretty bad at powersliding a few months back and that clip really kicked up some flashbacks of the plays I messed up because of that. But maybe I'm just projecting, haha. Anyway, cheers!

Disagree with matching the speed of the play during shadowing. What's most important is getting a read on your opponent and their ball control. Closing on the ball earlier is often the best call when you are midfield and the opponent isn't in full control.
