Totally agree with having a harder time playing against lower tier players. My situation isn't quite the same, I'm only Champ 1, but when I play ranked with my Champ friends, I play on par or better than most of the lobbies. When I play casual with my friend that's Gold, the opponents are so bad and unpredictable that I suddenly become a Plat
same issue when i used to play, could have been a grand champ but my daily party up was with my plat 3 mate and i could never read those lobbies or carry enough to rank up. I think it's because rocket league just has such a unique and insanely specific skill curve that you literally can only play well with people who are actually equal to your skill level or maybe slightly above
Yeah, but if it had just been the ball, it wouldn’t have slowed him that much. But because azap was on the other side of it (wasn’t really a true 50/50, more like a 90/10 lol) it was enough to slow him down barely.
What Retals Is getting at in the first game... When he talks about lower ranked players... What he is getting at is... Lower ranked players tend not to take their time as much as higher ranked players... they'll just chase and make unpredictable plays sometimes... it's good to counter this by just playing safer and let them mess up because the quality of their plays is not ultimately going to be as potent as a top top player with your same rank who is on the same page as you; to where it becomes more of a mind game. And I don't mean xprt is one of these players... but retals is top 10 he has the tools to defend hard shots. it's just the lower and lower you go in their ranks the more you wanna lean towards shadowing when in defence. but in offence sure still be aggressive.
For the demo on aZap, you hit the ball right before bumping into him, and you can actually see that you went out of supersonic because of it, so when you do reach him, you're not at max speed, and can't demo him
Azap is too crazy in recoveries and shooting out of every position which makes you uncomfortable/nervous and leads to many mistakes in your offense too. Crazy annoying to play against 😅
u should just do like private 1v1 with the top players - example - first, azap, tricky, daniel. would take all the stress away and allow you to maybe raise your ceiling to make these azap matches look like a cake walk.
Pros should lobby Psyonix for a very simple update to the matchmaking system, which is that it doesn't wait for a matching MMR if there is literally nobody on. There is no reason to not insta-queue against the next highest available player, none. It's such a trivial change that it can be done literally within the time it takes to queue for a single top ten 1s game, and the idea that Psyonix would rather waste productive time of their most valuable assets in the hundreds of times of what it would take to implement it, and DAILY over YEARS, is almost malicious in how careless and tone deaf it is.
Im not even good at the game but I got absolutely infuriated at how Azap played. I just wanted Retals to win but this guy is so annoying to play against (Not saying he's bad tho, he's absolutely insane at the game)
Bro I just played with xprt this guy who I met in a champ lobbie said that one of his friends was a ssl and invited him and he played a few 2v2 matches with us in private match
Yo retals i hope u give me an explination, but why do u play for NA 1 , why dont u play for world #1 cause ion think the eu boys play for eu nr 1 but for world nr 1
He explain that the state in NA is bad right now. So they have more people to que in there regions making it easier to find games in the region. Which gives an advantage so to que in NA on EU servers there would be a slight delay based on ping. I guess you could argue the point of having a worse ping could potentially make you play faster because of the delay but I am not sure. That would help some on non LAN comps maybe.
As I will never reach this level … watching zap play is infuriating. He is the kid no one likes . Props to Zap for such a great game but Gyat damn I’d pop a vein
Looks like ya have some homework to do on Azap. Looks like he reads you like a book. We are frustrated with you. Might need to change the strat against azap.
Azap on Retals’ vids: 👹
Azap on azap’s vids: 👼
FR i went and checked out his channel and the first vid i watched he was super chill. i was so confused...
Last few ones vids Azap just has retals number
It’s so funny. Someone commented he’s like Lex Luthor in Retals vids. Fr should have Randy Orton entrance music every time he spawns in.
I had a stroke reading this😅
@@Tinyonbluthat’s nasty asf TMI
Retals you gotta start queuing EU 1s like beastmode
their level is way higher than his he will get smashed
@ it’s not about the points it’s about the practice, and the biggest disadvantage is the ping not the players
Some of those goals Azap scored were so infuriating

Yea, I go through this too and when I tried to explain it to my plat friends, they for some reason think that I should be able to 1v3 the lobby. Lol!
same issue when i used to play, could have been a grand champ but my daily party up was with my plat 3 mate and i could never read those lobbies or carry enough to rank up.

Me when playing with my gc brother then soloq champ1 and my teammates can’t even speedflip
i think the ball killed your momentum retals. if you watch it back, you lose supersonic the second you hit the ball 😭35:27

9:13 Missed opportunity to make the recording timer represent how much time has actually passed in the game

on that demo play we reviewed after, did the ball land on retals's car losing him supersonic? i think so
i was just about to comment this, i think that’s exactly what happened
nah I think azap flipped just in time so retals only hit his wheels, if ur hitting the wheels he doesnt die
Thats crazy. 35:15 you guys got the slightest like 50/pinch and it slowed you down right before you bumped him. Wild
Azap just going crazy man
Retals has azap sounding like thanos
That chair with a coat on it in the background looks like a silhouette of Gru in a coat
I'm enjoying the new music in the videos as of recently. :)
Retals: "Top seven are all MENA and EU."
Two of the top seven is MAWKZY LMAO
25:05 that save is nasty
We need a full grind full win replay review session with raw egg on how to beat zap
Raw egg
Awesome video man! Don't get discouraged ❤
Azap is too crazy in recoveries and shooting out of every position which makes you uncomfortable/nervous and leads to many mistakes in your offense too. Crazy annoying to play against 😅
Azap is on fire, reading everything.
I'm telling you Azap knows something about the centio we don't, the man is too good.
i think you got slowed out of super sonic from hitting the ball there, not sure tho
Came to say this
u should just do like private 1v1 with the top players - example - first, azap, tricky, daniel. would take all the stress away and allow you to maybe raise your ceiling to make these azap matches look like a cake walk.

Bro said lemme give you the TLDR and proceeded to give us a minute and a half TL 😅
In that demo replay, I guarantee the ball touching your car killed your super sonic speed
Rocket League is a good, fun, and fair game
Well you've properly baited me in with that title, I wanna know about the aura! 😇
Great vid 👍
33:00 was crazy no way you didnt get the demo
Tough competition, I felt all that pain
What is that sound at 29:31
bro my eyes were trippin a bit I thought retals blurred xprts gc tag like it was too trash 🤣
13:26 😂😂😂
15:41 hmmmm Wheres all that clapping noise coming from
Im not even good at the game but I got absolutely infuriated at how Azap played. I just wanted Retals to win but this guy is so annoying to play against (Not saying he's bad tho, he's absolutely insane at the game)
Azap officially owns retals
Bro I just played with xprt this guy who I met in a champ lobbie said that one of his friends was a ssl and invited him and he played a few 2v2 matches with us in private match
