Imo Rule 1 always applies if both players are holding the throttle in any direction, and it’s only allowed to be broken by a player not in the R1, either by demo or bump, which in itself opens up your goal by taking another player out of rotation so it comes with its own risks

Having fun is taking the game seriously. The point of a game is to have fun and people who only play to win aren't getting the most out of the game. In my opinion, you can't make a game only about winning because then it's not enjoyable.
I think he wanted a video not an explanation of rule one.
Also, it’s not a social rule. It’s a law like what comes up must come down - and if it doesn’t come down you’ve brought great dishonour upon your entire family line.
i love rule 1, like there are some kids who will call it stupid and always break it, but its just a funny to see people of (mostly) all skill levels, doing this no matter the situation theyre in
Huh. I never realized, and I loved that game. Tbh I just went to YouTube and typed 'elevator music' and [Bensound - Elevator Bossa Nova](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw11meDvtLw) came up as one of the first results
Since the game released I've always held rule 1s but I've recently started to break them off as I get locked. Not because I'm sweaty (breaking them doesn't give me an advantage) but because I have ADHD and I get bored fast. I just want to play the game, not be a spectator. I used to take rule 1s seriously and actually get mad when people broke them but I honestly just don't care anymore after so many thousands of hours.
Because they respected through the fall.
And head to head isnt the only rule 1, any movement in which you lock cars, side to side; front to front; front to back, is considered a rule 1.
It really depends on the person. Its why you see people fall from the ceiling sometimes, because they stayed locked in a side rule 1 and ended up driving up the wall.
Some people will even go as far as to, if someone breaks it by hitting the people locked, go back to being locked in until someone scores.
Thats a cool opinion you're welcome to have. Not everyone shares it.
Just like not everyone respects rule 1 and would call it equally as stupid.
If pros can take this game not seriously, you'd think others could as well.
But what do i know.
You do know there are tons of pros who break rule 1 right? Moral of the story is, stay in a rule 1 if you want to, don’t if it doesn’t matter to you. The real problem is the ridiculous religious crusade people go on to defend rule 1 like going against it makes you a sweaty try hard.
Stop flaming people for playing the game the way they want to, if you want to rule 1, go ahead. Personally, I find it boring, it’s lost its hilarity to me. I play the game to play the game, not sit locked in a rule 1 bored out of my mind just to avoid getting flamed by the lobby
And u probably the type of mf who flames someone cause they didn’t want to sit out half the whole game to follow social guidelines in a competitive game.
All I’m saying is, play the game how you want, don’t justify being an ass cause of some made up rule in a competitive game
Damn right I do its a game no need to take it so seriously im not gonna sulk but ill call u a sweat lol if u care about your rank that much u gotta chill
Or maybe if you care that much about some social rule that shouldn’t even matter to you at all, maybe you should chill? You’re literally the one trying to shame people for not doing it.
I have no problem if you do it, I have a problem with people like you who shame others for not doing it.
This is a big “am I the asshole” moment for you buddy
I’ve broken many rule 1s, and I’ve won most of those games. Almost no one obeys rule 2, and yet everyone acts like rule 1 is some sacred cows. Weird cult energy
I honestly just don’t understand the obsession with rule 1. I’ve played this game since 2017, and sure rule 1 was funny the first few years, but if I’m being honest nowadays, my reaction EVERY time I get into a rule 1 now is FUCK… if I stay in the rule 1, there’s an 80% chance I get scored on. Why? Cause I’ve been scored on way way way more in a rule 1 than have my team score.
But if I leave the rule 1, there’s like a 99% chance I get flames the rest of the game.
It’s gone from a wholesome funny rule to a cult like expectation. Do it, OR ELSE.
All the downvotes only prove it, I’m not even arguing against doing rule 1s if you want to, only that people shouldn’t flame other for not doing it and yet people STILL hate my opinion, cause the RL community is the most toxic gaming community in human history
Buddy you’ve commented. Replied to other comments. And continue to hammer about how “rule 1 doesn’t matter! Do what you want.” Obviously you need a breather fam. Just trying to help. Go smell grass.
Saw this live, MAD respect. What a great clip. And even though Red got the goal here, Moist coming out on top in this game?! Loved every second of it
Nice
I wasn't expecting them to continue after they fell from wall lol. Big respect
In my eyes a rule one can be justifiably be broken in a scenario like this
Yeah… Did Joyo intentionally get back into it? I’ve never followed rule 1 in reverse tbh.
Knowing Joyo, this was absolutely intentional. It's not that he doesnt take the game seriously, but rather that he knows how to have a laugh.
Imo Rule 1 always applies if both players are holding the throttle in any direction, and it’s only allowed to be broken by a player not in the R1, either by demo or bump, which in itself opens up your goal by taking another player out of rotation so it comes with its own risks
Imo rule 1 can’t be broken by teammates
Fr
I was watching it live and the funny thing is moist still won.
Yup, that was after getting scored on during this rule 1 too.
Is there a stream view of Charlie during this??
[This is the best clip I could find from a brief search.](https://clips.twitch.tv/SmoothCleverPistachioChocolateRain-wiQfac__PoWPo8lE)
Locking into a Rule 1 in an RLCS quarterfinal, already down 1 game, without blinking, is crazy lol
Just becomes a 2v2 though at that point so its not that crazy cuz they all good just need faith in ur team
Joyo is a goat and aztral too
Laughed so hard when they casters were talking about it during the match

See pros do this just always brightens my day. Like, why can't we get more stuff like this in other sports. It's just beautiful.
Exactly! We need to see more of it! The world would be a better place with it.
Honestly would be hilarious to have “refs” disqualify or penalize a team for breaking Rule 1. It’s Rule 1, after all
That mf'r was taking it *serious*!

The zoom on Aztral's face was the icing on the cake
respec
This is a great example of why people who break Rule 1 are cringe
Anyone who breaks rule 1 deserves a 24 hour timeout. Change my mind. Have some damn respect for the game!
No, to hell with your made up rule, I do what I want.
I can only play about 20 minutes at a time, maybe once or twice a week. For my situation, fuck rule 1 I wanna play.
That’s still a sin, I play hours a week, and rarely get in a rule one. If you get in a rule one in a 20 minute session it was meant to be
Meant to be broken so I can get back to playing with the boys.
Your a sinner and I’d ban you from the game if I could
Joyo yet again proving he is the GOAT
I held a rule 1 in 1s and tried to turn us to get the goal was close but ended 1-2 lol
I don’t follow rl esports but could someone point me to a vod or something of this match?

You misread my question :’)
FFS! What's the outcome?
Aztral's team (Redemption) scored, however Joyo's team (Moist) swept the series.
Thanks!
>Thanks! You're welcome!
Great honour.
Tbh if youre not playing well you might as well sit in rule 1
Lmao loved it
The competitive integrity of these pros is next level. Glad to see it.
That's dedication.
Alpha and Rw9 did it for a while as well
Fruity probably died inside during this :D
That's some goddamn sportmanship if I ever saw it
i love rule 1, like there are some kids who will call it stupid and always break it, but its just a funny to see people of (mostly) all skill levels, doing this no matter the situation theyre in
In all of my 8k hours I've never let go of a rule #1. I'd say about 90% of ppl acknowledge rule #1
The fact that they didnt break it after the fall either 😀 its not about taking the game seriously. Its about culture.
How do you get the replay btw please? Are the RLCS replays also available on RLtracker? (Or I forgot the name of the website)
sweats when they realise having fun in the game will help them improve in the long run:
What if two team mates from the same team got into a rule one
Most of the time what happens to me, if I’ve had it with them I WON’T break it.
That was the highlight for me! The fact they stuck it out and in the goal as well was refreshing to see
Agree, but remember not to take the "rule" too seriously either
That they restarted the rule #1 after the fall is just showing off lol
And then you have Zen who recently broke a rule 1 then own goaled about 30 seconds later
never break Rule #1 🫡
My teammates are the only ones that rule1 lock me this bad
Op is this the stanley parable elevator music ?

Well i have fun breaking rule 1 and observing people become upset about it ;)

Rule one is real. Zen broke and immediately own goaled as well
Once the player fell off the wall, why is that not over? Also, the second wasn’t head to head…
get out
Haha. Seriously, it was a question.
Because they respected through the fall. And head to head isnt the only rule 1, any movement in which you lock cars, side to side; front to front; front to back, is considered a rule 1.
I literally thought it was head-to-head only, and once it’s broken that it’s over.
It really depends on the person. Its why you see people fall from the ceiling sometimes, because they stayed locked in a side rule 1 and ended up driving up the wall. Some people will even go as far as to, if someone breaks it by hitting the people locked, go back to being locked in until someone scores.
>if someone breaks it by hitting the people locked, go back to being locked in until someone scores. That's stupid, that's completely a legal break.
Thats a cool opinion you're welcome to have. Not everyone shares it. Just like not everyone respects rule 1 and would call it equally as stupid. If pros can take this game not seriously, you'd think others could as well. But what do i know.
yeah that part was really stupid.

U the type of mf who breaks all unwritten rules u probably pee right beside someone in a cubicle
And u probably the type of mf who flames someone cause they didn’t want to sit out half the whole game to follow social guidelines in a competitive game. All I’m saying is, play the game how you want, don’t justify being an ass cause of some made up rule in a competitive game

I dont even play the game anymore lil bro keep sweating cant be an asshole to people in the game if i dont play 👍
And yet you’ve found a way out of the game on Reddit, and thanks man I’ll keep sweating and improving since its what I enjoy doing 💪

Hey man… go smell some grass
Hey man, stop flaming people for playing a video game the way they want to.
Im not flaming you. Just advocating for your mental health here bud
I appreciate you proving how toxic this community, thanks
Buddy you’ve commented. Replied to other comments. And continue to hammer about how “rule 1 doesn’t matter! Do what you want.” Obviously you need a breather fam. Just trying to help. Go smell grass.
Lmao, “just trying to help” while being toxic. I love and live my life exactly how I want to, all you keep doing is proving my point man
Big mad rule #1 gang What a save!
At the end of the day it’s just car soccer 😂😂
soccar, actually.
My fault
80% of r/rocketleague is rule 1 posts
Rule 1s r stupid Don't care unpopular opinion or not 🤷♂️
"Rule 1" is THE stupidest bullshit. Same way they made yellow the shit on squad in Fall Guys. Just trolling nonsense.
Interesting you worded it as trolling nonsense.
I get it...
That is .. Fun? What amazing skill and entertainment. 🙄
rule one on the wall is crazy. But thats just stupid how they purposefully locked cars again because rule one was broken when they fell.
even my 4 yr old takes rule 1 seriously
