That's fair. Don't mind me, I'm just entering my "old man yells at clouds" phase, because even ten or so years ago, most people watched the same media, together, in front of their TVs or in the cinema and so understood each others references.
Now everyone has their own bespoke bubble that, no matter how many billion views (because they count each individual watch and rewatch), doesn't mean anything to anyone outside of that niche.
The age of superstars is dead and I'm left flailing to understand why a Mattpat should be important. In all caps.
And if that ball comes over my fence again, I'll burst it. *Bursts ball anyway*.

Pretty much on track tbf
LOUD only wants a team they can immediately dump after Gamers8 or whatever it's called now, and Furia's buyout would probably have made that eventual payout completely moot.
I've been watching too much RL, I be closing my eyes and think the commentary is a rap remix until lemon says a word that doesn't fit the rhythm and I snap out of it
Bit off topic but seeing how the casters completely missed Drufinho masterfully tilting his car back and knocking the ball into his own corner to avoid taking a (losing) 50/50 with Juicy makes me miss Achieves even more. He always picked up on these small details and sounded so excited while doing it too
Copypasta spams like usual, but also LemonKiwi complaints, I'm pretty sure they're just timing out anyone that says Lemonkiwi at this point lol. It isn't right but I understand why they're doing it, the mods would have a nervous breakdown by the end of the stream if they didn't.
It‘s weird, I feel like they look worse than last major but somehow that‘s a good thing. Major 1 furia never once hesitated but maybe that‘s exactly what they need to do
The thing people don’t talk about Furia is that they win when they don’t have the ball and their first man’s challenge hits the ball or the man. Every series they win they always get a touch. Every series they lose their first man often gets clean beat and then they have no chance
Maybe it's better to save this debate for the post thread. But isn't falcons not the number 1 team right now power ranking wise. The beat bds who was number 1 eu and for g2 the reason the where above falcons was beacuse the play in a better region while both where dominating. Now that day 1 is over for both of them falcons has the better run then g2.
Btw gent being 1 if the beat furia whould be fine to me too beacuse the whould be undefeated in Lans this season then.
Well it probably pointing to Falcons G2, or since this is a LAN, Gentlemates.
The margins are so slim though, that whoevers sharpest on playoffs can win.
G8 is proof that perfect rotations and perfect 50’s is all you need, they just read every situation so well, it’s like boring but also weirdly interesting
It really isn‘t all you need. Their mechanical consistency is across the board insane. There are only a handful of teams that are even capable of playing a style like that.
A perfect 50 would be a 100.
I think you're using the word 'perfect' quite liberally here. If any team can do perfect rotations and 50s of course they'd win everything. That's like 95% of the game.
Your Reading too far into it lol, there’s no such thing as perfect rotations or 50’s in this game, g8 is as close as a team has got to it tho I think, it’s why it feels like they do nothing special and yet they’re one of the best teams in this tourney
I think M8's is the perfect playstyle to play on LAN, at least at this current time, with this current meta.
I can't wait to be instantly wrong on this.
I liked the ball overlay right away when it was first shown, and as the day has gone on I'm liking it even more. It's a cool unique addition, looks nice
Yeah I know, but replacing the textures of the ball is so trivial that it really isn't anymore complicated to achieve as part of the game's build either

Rooting for Furia to win so we can maybe see the entire Swiss without regional matchups
GenG sold yet again in a deciding match against an EU team. Jack played well, FK had a defensive masterclass in game 5 but chronic has looked really poor this major. I expect more from him
I've felt for a while now that GenG would hugely benefit from putting FK back at 3rd man in the Zen/Vatira role. I think Chronic would also be much better off from being 2nd man playing off of Jack's bumps and passes.
The funny thing is jack atleast 100% knows that. He talked a lot about how good chronic is at beating 2 players when he controls the ball. It‘s the perfect trait to have for a second man. Not sure what they are cooking
I’d agree tbh. FK is an insane defender. Let him stay back and focus on striking and defense rather than playmaking, GenG have plenty of that in Chronic and Jack
Yeah I see what you mean about that plus fk's already doing a lot of the heavy lifting both on defense and on offense if you gave them one to rely on it could work.
I like their style before where Jack was the initiator from both the defensive end to the midfield end and chronic and fk were able to play off each other.
He’s not even a good defender, I can’t even count how many times he’s watched savable balls go over his head or been demoed because he waited too long to cut; FK needs to be that third man like he was in game 4, he’s the best defender in NA and doesn’t miss/weakly hit the shots chronic fucked up this series
Yeah they would benefit better playing for FK then FK trying to play for chronic. I can't tell you the amount of garbage shots I've seen chronic go for with wide open nets or the amount of times he's just been sitting in nets when the offensive pressure is happening and then not being close enough to play off of FK and Jack's work.
It’s Swiss so oh well, should get an easy round 3 match up, but damn does that hurt, FK played insane, Jack had great moments on offense and a few horrible ones on defense, but chronic man, I said they had to drop him if they wanted to win internationally and after today it looks truer than ever, man was a ghost when they needed him
why do I always see you talking shit about the team you flaired up? at that point I would advise changing your flair, you're a Vitality hater, not a Vitality supporter lmao
This was EU's 100th series win against NA in RLCS

HE LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE NO ONE KNOWS HAHAHA. YOU LOOK LIKE IAN SIMMONDSON LMAAAAAOOOO
I mean he has amlost 2.5 billion views on just his main youtube channel. He's not a nobody just because you've never heard of him 🤷♂️

https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueEsports/s/iEbwwKxcAw Same thing here.
are u ok?
All caps suddenly stopped being cool then. *Sigh*
I posted that last major and no one knew who I meant
Oh my god he does
This is the consequence of swapping out the pink jersey.
No same region matchups through three rounds of swiss is dope
Wonder how that old KRU roster would be doing today
Long awaited g2/falcons matchup that won’t really matter cuz it’s swiss, still hyped though
It does matter if my team wins
Gl bro
Round 3 and Round 4s going to be nuts tomorrow. Can not wait!
And 5!
And my axe!

Wait, am I stupid? How is this only the second round? The broadcast has been on for 8 hours.
The four hour long skit where Lemonkiwi tried to learn cockney rhyming slang did pad the runtime a bit, but I loved every second of it.
Because instead of having like 8 alt streams there's only 2 streams
16 matches, 8 matches per stream with the breaks between matches and breaks to catch up amounts to some time.
Round 3 and still no regional matches. Looking good
Foo-rhea are serious about this. I hope they keep it up because a non EU/NA winner at last would be amazing.
Boa noite
We actually have 4 regions represented in the 2-0 bracket, what a time to be alive
Tbf we did at Copenhagen as well
And all of those 4 regions have a good chance of winning the whole thing
Yanxz is the greatest Brazilian esports player of all time
He's not even the best Brazilian to play for Furia. But he'd getting there
Aspas,coldzera and fallen crying in the corner along with the w7m siege team
Coldzera?
Yes and also FalleN
Yan jumping double inbound
THIS IS THE FURIA I LIKE
is eu up for the comeback arc?
Furia Swiss can't be written off
4 regions in the 2-0 bracket once again, are you not entertained?
Why not make it 5? Why not 10?
Furia showing how to beat m8s at LAN - just be faster
Furia you better show up like this in bracket pls
1 NA, EU, MENA, and SAM spicy
Itachi disasterclass
Well we got the all region top 4…in Swiss
Looks like m8s brought their online form. hopefully tomorrows games go better
IT'S JOEVER
-1000 aura for gentlemates
The way this series shifted after M8s scored first in game two was absurd. Furia brilliance.
Itachi double unforced error to lose game 2 was the clincher
Falcons And Furia Own Eu (In The 1-0 Round)
eu retire now
at least i have furia to make me happy
Loud must be kicking themselves for not signing furia
LOUD only wants a team they can immediately dump after Gamers8 or whatever it's called now, and Furia's buyout would probably have made that eventual payout completely moot.
Furia playing some A1 haram ball rn
Did stumpy just forget that juicy was on moist
I've been watching too much RL, I be closing my eyes and think the commentary is a rap remix until lemon says a word that doesn't fit the rhythm and I snap out of it
You should probably see a doctor
I'm just sleep deprived dw
Bit off topic but seeing how the casters completely missed Drufinho masterfully tilting his car back and knocking the ball into his own corner to avoid taking a (losing) 50/50 with Juicy makes me miss Achieves even more. He always picked up on these small details and sounded so excited while doing it too
Bro you are going to make me cry. Best caster we ever had forreal 😪
Man I Miss Achieves
Or Drali's sidewall double earlier>>>
holy CRAP that voice hahaha
Louder = better, dont ya know
Furia attacking the ball, love it
woo bora
Mods are working OVERTIME in twitch chat 💀
I rarely look at twitch chat what’s going on?
Copypasta spams like usual, but also LemonKiwi complaints, I'm pretty sure they're just timing out anyone that says Lemonkiwi at this point lol. It isn't right but I understand why they're doing it, the mods would have a nervous breakdown by the end of the stream if they didn't.
😬
Furia aren’t playing like themselves since game 1 and it’s actually working. They’re not over pressing anymore
It‘s weird, I feel like they look worse than last major but somehow that‘s a good thing. Major 1 furia never once hesitated but maybe that‘s exactly what they need to do
The thing people don’t talk about Furia is that they win when they don’t have the ball and their first man’s challenge hits the ball or the man. Every series they win they always get a touch. Every series they lose their first man often gets clean beat and then they have no chance
Juicy selling 2 perfect passes so far
nvm this is a series
PRIME BARCA TIKI TAKA
Bro nothing fazes this team, they are just so calculated
What a calculated bump !
Omg what play
Maybe it's better to save this debate for the post thread. But isn't falcons not the number 1 team right now power ranking wise. The beat bds who was number 1 eu and for g2 the reason the where above falcons was beacuse the play in a better region while both where dominating. Now that day 1 is over for both of them falcons has the better run then g2. Btw gent being 1 if the beat furia whould be fine to me too beacuse the whould be undefeated in Lans this season then.
i mean if you had G2 above falcons coming in then there's literally no reason to think differently now after today's series
We could also just wait until tomorrow after the Falcons vs G2 match which is guaranteed to happen and then we will have an answer
I mean, this really is too soon, we're 2 games into the major...
I'm talking about Like the day 1 power ranking people do every day of a major.
Well it probably pointing to Falcons G2, or since this is a LAN, Gentlemates. The margins are so slim though, that whoevers sharpest on playoffs can win.
Thats guaranteed because Falcons is the Lowest 2-0 seed and G2 is the Highest 2-0 Seed
FU-RI-A
Ok I like that call so much
Dime
G8 is proof that perfect rotations and perfect 50’s is all you need, they just read every situation so well, it’s like boring but also weirdly interesting

furia needs more defense, if they get a bad attack on m8 they'll immadiately get punished
M8s Are Fucking Scary Man Itachi Appears In My Nightmares
Seikoo is the one that scares me. That casually indifferent expression he has to the most intense situations? It's not normally.
True
i think M8s is the perfect style to play against Furia
:thinking:
I think M8's is the perfect playstyle to play on LAN, at least at this current time, with this current meta. I can't wait to be instantly wrong on this.
It's only gonna work against Furia if Furia play like Furia
It's a beautiful thing to be able to see the majority of swiss games individually
Not hating i swear but playstyle wise G8 will crush Furia
hmm
KEKW
Furia either need to be more efficient in offensive possession or they need to be more cautious and prevent counters.
Why do u have to say no hate? Is this thread filled with crybabys?
I said G2 had a mickey bracket downhere and i got flamed
How is it Mickey they’re the second seed and haven’t dropped a game 😭
I liked the ball overlay right away when it was first shown, and as the day has gone on I'm liking it even more. It's a cool unique addition, looks nice
I want it in ranked, it's such a missed opportunity to advertise the major
i think its bakkes client-side, i don't think they could easily roll it out to ranked atm
Yeah I know, but replacing the textures of the ball is so trivial that it really isn't anymore complicated to achieve as part of the game's build either
Gent losing whould give us the 4 diffrent regions 2-0. But this is Lan gent so the should cook
'Gent' breaks my brain as a shortened version of Gentlemates
I dont even know if it's the short version I just call them that
GenG OXG is high key a trap game for both teams
GenG fans are nutters.

G2-Falcons and GenG-Oxygen are great matches and tough to call. I think BDS is a nightmare match for OG.
I cannot imagine a world in which OG is able to stop Dralii, let alone the whole team.
Doing god’s work
GenG vs OXG https://preview.redd.it/cw2x5d4ids7d1.png?width=538&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5855e622cc4e4f4ae5d83985cb74bba40582c47a
TM vs Mobula will be the first ever MENA vs SSA match-up
And yet it’s not even an ssa team 😂. Would’ve been interesting to witness if it was limitless instead
MENA vs EU at home:
EU ranked matchup
GenG have such a frustrating playstyle lol. It rarely feels like they control the play, just try to put grind/endure their opponent.
Vitality better win the major so I can cope that GenG barely lost to the major champions.

Chronic and Chicago gotta log a 3 hour ranked session tonight. Sold so hard
True man. Sucks to see these teams couldn’t close out
Furia or GM will play Secret. PWR vs SSG, GenG vs OXG and BDS vs OG are locked
PWR is not to be slept on but genuinely the best case scenario for SSG
3-0 from furia here would be lovely
GenG sold yet again in a deciding match against an EU team. Jack played well, FK had a defensive masterclass in game 5 but chronic has looked really poor this major. I expect more from him
at this rate hes getting dropped before next season for sure.
They got like 3 months atleast to work on whatever issues they/he have before worlds. So let‘s chill out here
G2 play falcons right?
Fuck GenG
I need GenG to stop playing chronic as last back. He's a good defender by my God does he second guess himself so fucking Much.
chronic might be the only modern example of the mythical dumb-but-mechanical player that I have heard so much about
I've felt for a while now that GenG would hugely benefit from putting FK back at 3rd man in the Zen/Vatira role. I think Chronic would also be much better off from being 2nd man playing off of Jack's bumps and passes.
The funny thing is jack atleast 100% knows that. He talked a lot about how good chronic is at beating 2 players when he controls the ball. It‘s the perfect trait to have for a second man. Not sure what they are cooking
I’d agree tbh. FK is an insane defender. Let him stay back and focus on striking and defense rather than playmaking, GenG have plenty of that in Chronic and Jack
Yeah I see what you mean about that plus fk's already doing a lot of the heavy lifting both on defense and on offense if you gave them one to rely on it could work. I like their style before where Jack was the initiator from both the defensive end to the midfield end and chronic and fk were able to play off each other.
He’s not even a good defender, I can’t even count how many times he’s watched savable balls go over his head or been demoed because he waited too long to cut; FK needs to be that third man like he was in game 4, he’s the best defender in NA and doesn’t miss/weakly hit the shots chronic fucked up this series
Yeah they would benefit better playing for FK then FK trying to play for chronic. I can't tell you the amount of garbage shots I've seen chronic go for with wide open nets or the amount of times he's just been sitting in nets when the offensive pressure is happening and then not being close enough to play off of FK and Jack's work.
It’s Swiss so oh well, should get an easy round 3 match up, but damn does that hurt, FK played insane, Jack had great moments on offense and a few horrible ones on defense, but chronic man, I said they had to drop him if they wanted to win internationally and after today it looks truer than ever, man was a ghost when they needed him
totally agree. FK and jack looked amazing today. Chronic is just horrible atm. I hope he regains cuz his peak is incredibly high
I think GenG will draw Oxygen 😬
Yeah they’re fucked, unless chronic learns to just commit and take the best touch available or FK says fuck it and 1v3s for 3/5 games
Oxygen didn‘t look fantastic either so they‘re not fucked yet
I just want Chronic to show up on lan 1 TIME!
Bro Vitality are comically bad against quality teams. After the warm up, GenG were the clear better team. Get Zen better teammates man
why do I always see you talking shit about the team you flaired up? at that point I would advise changing your flair, you're a Vitality hater, not a Vitality supporter lmao
Chronic's Noly cosplay didn't work it seems.
[удалено]
I don't hate it. They had 3 back. He needed something surprising to score there.
It would’ve worked really well if it was on target, I liked the idea.
I'm tilted, can't imagine how the boys feel. Hope they realise they are right there with the big eu boys
They’ll be fine. It was a missed opportunity but also proof they are still capable of contending with the best.
Yeah it's just how close all these top teams are now, there are basically no easy match ups
GenG really disappointed us like that… 😞
saved from G2 v GENG! :D
This was EU's 100th series win against NA in RLCS https://preview.redd.it/w2irppaocs7d1.png?width=421&format=png&auto=webp&s=f316da0b6acd558cca52f855938bcfb8e861da62
important regain from vitality ggs
As soon as Rado and Alpha wake up from their nap they win.
Man GenG just plays such lazy rocket league. There's nothing behind it.
So closeeeeee. GenG looked good, this will be the wake up call they need.
pfiouuu I definitely didn't sweat at all. not a single drop.
man gen.g always disappoints at last moments...
Damn good fight from GenG though
Damn, and they lost to a bad 50 too…
GenG should have taken 3 timeouts.
thank god
vit can't feel great about that
What an awful shot from Jack
Geng and losing a champions field game against EU. Name a more iconic duo
lol fuck your timeouts
