This series lived up to the hype.

bro, the ending to this match had me off my chair, ngl. These dudes are insane

33:20 anybody else catch Zen quickchatting OMG! What a Save! at the exact same time as Johnny said it? 😆

Its been peak 1v1 content these past two weeks. Thanks to Zen and everyone who wanted to play him. Johnny you're a legend

What an ending from both players, well deserved.

I've never seen a player make series SO intense and entertaining, zen is incredible. And Daniel is also so insane this series was so fun to watch

I am ashamed to be French when I see the amount of francophones in the Twitch chat who are insulting, belittling, or mocking all the other players while Zen is winning... Thankfully, the majority of JohnnyBoi's Twitch chat doesn't understand French... especially if it's for them to see how lacking in humility and maturity we are. I apologize on behalf of all French people for this unacceptable behavior on our part. Thank to Zen and thank to Daniel for this show !

I was absolutely dying at johnny roasting zen’s kickoffs in game 4. 😂😂 i could not focus

These Zen vs X series have all been bangers

Zen's mechanics are insane

zen controls the car better than i control my body, wtf

I’ve never seen anyone genuinely make Daniel look silly at times

Like for no spoiler

I liked your method to handle the disparity in server location. I would say do another like this!

I see zen I click

Couple of years ago i was watching Aztral vs Ahmad matches on JohnnyBoi channel. At that time i really enjoyed Aztral's almost "artistic" gameplay, with super airdribble mechanics. But Ahmad was always there to win in the end, because he was just super efficient. Zen seems to be an Aztral and Ahmad combined at their full force, never knew this would be possible, this game is something else, people are reinventing it years after years

1s in RL are at such an incredible peak right now, i'm very excited to see what the future of this gamemode will bring

This was probably the single most exciting showmatch I have ever seen. Jesus. That ending was insane. My heart is still racing.

John. Thank you. Too much good content.. Zen has ripped to the top of the 1s most wanted list. Excited to see his debut in RLCS.

Been watching Zen knock out top 10 player after top 10 player ever since he hit the scene just a few weeks ago. At this point even a top 3 player should have lost a series just by sheer bad luck + bad form. He's the real deal.

15:15 banger by Zen 26:15 banger by Dan 33:10 almost insane shot by Zen

Zen might be on the most insane run I’ve ever seen. What he’s doing rn is historic.

One of the greatest series ever played

This was a fantastic series to watch, and the emergence of this fiery new player has really been great television. This series has proven and shown Johnny's(John, sorry) admiration and passion for both being a content creator and enjoying this great game. I thoroughly enjoyed both the play by play commentary and the instant comradery in between this high level gameplay. Great stuff Johnny. First time comment, long time viewer. Cheers~

I've been watching your videos for a while now and i'm sorry for just subbing but... Watching zen the last few matchups has been absolutely insane! I have recently started going to the end of these games to see if zen ends up losing just so i can see who ends up beating him. When I saw that this video was a full hour long i was like holy! Checked the ending... but now i'm even more excited to watch this game because wow the ending has me shocked! All these Rocket League gamers are nuts and I love that you showcase them and help them get discovered if they haven't been already! I love watching them, and being introduced to them along with the new up-incomers! Keep up the great content! Have a great day Johnny!

daniels defensive ability to read Zens plays is incredible

bruhhh these guys force each other to really push it. that preflip center touch from dan around 12:05 just looked straight up like a glitch!

Zen vs Joreuz I think is as favorable as Leth vs Firstkiller. Absolutely INSANE comeback. Wonder how this one is gonna go. WOW what an incredible series, Zen is just absolutely insane.

Jesus Christ what a series. Fantastic play from both players and fantastic commentary as usual.

I'm so excited for this following the Joreuz matchup. I feel like Zen winning this or a game against RW9 puts him in contention for Top 5 or maybe even Top 3. Hard to say this early on Edit: Holy shit LMAO

These games with zen have always been so close it’s insane

One of the BEST series to date! Had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. Massive GGs to all

What an incredible series. The first and last games especially.

This was such a great series. Few demos, no air dribble bumps, just pure skill vs skill. This one could have gone either way. Both guys are just top of the class here.

What an absolutely insane series. Best I’ve seen

That series was ridiculously good!

Wow what a series!! That’s one for the ages.

Watched the whole video and I gotta say it’s one of the best match I have ever seen

4 months later and this series is still one pf the greatest i've ever watched. Feels literally like yesterday watching zen's 1v1 showmatch debut

Wow what a series, that was nuts!

These 2 needs a series of ones. The games are all close and its fun to watch

Goddamn zen is having his way with the entire 1v1 scene. Crazy to see. Props to Daniel for making it so close. Amazing series.

An all time great series. Watching it for the 2nd time now

Every single Zen match in the past couple of weeks has been a serious treat. Holy shit that guy

crazy series, keeping me up at night lol

Bro the scripts are getting unreal, thanks for the awesome content Johny. This match was straight gold, some missplays from both sides, absolutely crazy challenges/defense/shots from both as well (tho i'd say Zen's were the craziest) Historic matchup

Johnny you're so damn good at what you do and it became so apparent when you took a break to get the prize pool up in how much more boring it is to watch without your commentary. You make RL so much better for all of us!

44:33 absolutely out of this world...

This was the greatest 1v1 I’ve ever watched we need a rematch at some point

Omfg till the last second, it was so intense, this tops the series VS Mawkzy which was my favorite one, insane!

man what a match well played by both Zen is absolutely peaking rn, this is just the beginning of a potential legendary rivalry

WHAT A GAAAMMEEEE!!! What a match, these too are so impressive!! Wow that was exhilarating

what a match this has to be my favorite series ive watched

This is the best 1v1 series in a LONG time

What an amazing series this was so entertaining to watch

Excellent work with the script on this one, Johnny 💪🏻

One of the best ones series I've watched, insane level!!

This was the craziest match I’ve ever seen omg

you know the showmatch is good when you watch it more than once. This was the best zen matchup so far cant wait to see the RW9 vs Zen

Zens 9th and 10th goals had such clinical play on both players parts. The way it started with Daniel jabbing at Zens low boost defense to zen slowing down the play and working with what hes got. So cool to see these guys go against each other and I can't wait to see zen keep progressing in 1s.

Maybe you listened for the bo7 and for the cashprize but anyways ;) what a match, Daniel can be proud of his executive functionning, he managed to comeback and didnt tilted, maintained attention, inhibited soporific things and match up with zen. Et zen, on la vu grind petit à petit dans les vidéos de pro toutes ces années. Il sait rester froid quand les situations sont tendues et mécaniquement il est imperturbable. Daniel c était un peu plus compliqué pourtant il a essayé avec la decal KC comme dans le tournoi ProDrops de se remettre dans la zone :) Merci Johnny.

Best showmatch ever imo

What a series! I think Zen just smashed his head into the skill ceiling and went right through

what a defensive masterclass by zen ggs to both this series was amazing

Great cross region format. I really hope to see more like it

Probably the best 1v1 match I’ve ever seen.

insane games i cant believe how close that was . im so hyped to see zen play for vitality . crazy beast !

What an insane series

What an insane mindset for both 🤠🤙🏼

what an absolute nail biter. peak 1v1

holy... that was amazing.. glad i watched it all

One of the best serieses i’ve ever seen, probably second best series after the fairy peak vs OkhaliD series

i just watched AlphaKep's YT livestream teasing a Zen Vs. Daniel showmatch but ultimately being a troll, and the algorithm decided to jam this into my recommended as the first one. Quite an advertisement.

This is the best 1’s series I’ve ever seen HOLY 😮

probably one of the best show matches

holy my two favorite players LETS GO

That was absolutely epic. GG!

best showmatch i have ever seen

my mouth was wide open at the very end there that was incredible

What a series!!!

This was one of the craziest series ever

Good video John. Keep it up, John!

Hey Johnny, me again. It’d be cool if you/your editor put together a video of just the kickoffs from a single show match, or game even, and talked us through the swings of who’s doing what, what they should do, why what they’re doing is/isn’t working etc.

One of Johnny's life long goals is to learn how to pronounce the letter x 😂. Jokes aside, it trips me up everytime. Great content as always.

John, I can’t believe you’d do that to us all

"routine banger" is my new favourite expression

Incredible match!

can't wait for the zen vs ksa players matches

Worth the hour long watch!!

LOVE this format for cross-region matches.

“I would be surprised if he watched my videos… a lot of content to consume” *Meanwhile me that has seen every video agreeing with Johnny about his kick off😂*

One of the greatest series ever

The fact that zen is confident enough to go for a corner redirect for a clear of all things, shows how insanely mechanical he is. And the same for Daniel who couldn’t be stopped on kickoffs

I need a nap after this match. That sh*t had my heart going 100 mph.

Best series I’ve ever seen.

best series ever ggs, u cant even stage that ending....

bro that game winning 7 game shot from Zen was just beautiful, he executed that so well

Dude 2 weeks for Zen vs The world best 1v1 i see in my entire life ! Thx to all 1v1 player to take time to entertained some Stuck in league rocket league players =)

wow what a show match! respect to both players for still getting creative/taking risks even if they have small leads that a mistake could cost the game/series... I couldn't get through the dan vs yan series for that reason alone, the air dribble bumps are just boring after a few (my opinion of course) I think having them as part of your arsenal is smart but not every single play... anyways, both these guys are top notch! love it

One lf the best series ending ive ever seen, the ice from zen is crazy
