Tbh the so called hate is just ppl who over estimated this team. I expected the last top 8 spot to be between them and Chile and I also expected Chile to get it. It's not that huge of an upset. This situation is just overblown by Americans trying to seem hurt because the team they knew wouldn't do much didn't do much. Actual reason they're angry is because all the best Americans players didn't show up
I doubt they asked the snowmen or ssg (hockser, chicago, LJ) or even shopify rebellion to go rep usa. G2 said no so they asked RMC who said yes, not giving anyone else a chance to say yes. Cant say noone else wanted to go when they didnt even get a chance. If only they had a qualifier so that everyone that actually wants to go can compete for the spot and the best team wins.
@@edgeribbleyeah it’s sad to see that no one else stepped up. i’m an na fan and it sucks to see that we’re really not that competitive outside of g2. we have some good talent but can’t use it. feel like i’ve said this before but W invincible pfp 🔥
I don't see it. They were mid in NA last year. If they couldn't consistently make Majors then, they aren't gonna do it now. They got worse as the season went on. Surprised me they got an org like Gen G to sign them. Must've been quite a bit cheaper than getting a top roster.
Ay man, you got to represent usa in the game you’ve spent all your time playing. You guys didn’t play bad, everyone just played very well. We’re all proud of you mate.
@@BayAreaBurner I do agree but those OTs vs Chile could've gone either way. A bit of luck and USA go through to play Saudi but because of that unbelievable save by Davitrox and then they went up the other end and scored.

@@regansimpson3196 doesn't deny the fact that they were off. look at old gen.g for example. they were a top 8 team in the world going toe to toe with the best (minus falcons) even going to game 7 with the gm8s at the major they ended up winning. then they had a great ewc sweeping vitality and losing in 6 to the eventual ewc and world champs BDS followed up by a horrible worlds losing to oce twice.
As someone who’s from England, I already knew we had no chance making top 8, luckiest run from oxygen in worlds Oski literally carried them. Joyo and Archie have shown countless times they don’t have the work ethic in this game, when’s the last time they were top 100 2s? Should have been apparently Jack and rise and a different third. SMH!!!!!
Unfortunately, it really felt like team USA wasn’t playing “to win” in their last match against Chile. It seemed like y’all were playing “not to lose”. When you guys play hard and with the purpose of winning and excelling, you guys played fantastic! But when y’all “only needed to win 1” the fire seemed to leave and the pressure game off. Still played fantastic and we are all proud to have you guys rep USA!
From an average gc2 (take it with a grain of salt) I think your assessment of what the team needs to work on is spot on. It simply came down to mechanical issues and a lot of possession being given away. Y’all had France in the anaconda multiple times throughout the tourney just could not capitalize
The passion that u show for this videogame makes me cry my eyes out. It's so beautiful that someone can grow such an amount of feelings and emotion towards a videogame. No wonders I'm in your top 0.1% of viewers and u constitute 75% of my time spent on this app. Keep doing what you're doing FOREVER! We deeply love u slater❤
glad but not surprised to see you keeping your head up and looking forward. i can’t wait to see what you and the boys bring this year. cant wait to watch as a new Gen G fan!
Huge respect for being so honest about where you see yourself and your team in the ranking. I don't think we ever got such honesty from any pro. But instead of letting that bring you down, you talk about how you want to improve and work hard to get better. I hope you guys have a successful 2025 season and we see that hard work pay off.
Was so happy to see this group represent. I hope this team comes together in the coming season. You guys have the talent and these matches shouldn’t always come down to the wire. GL Gen.G boiz
There is no shame in being defeated. There is only shame in accepting remaining defeated. There is no shame in your game, Retals. Go after it! Aim for the stars, you might only end up on the Moon :D Keep the mental work up, so much of RL is mental.
12:00 Viewing the top teams as your peers WILL level up your game. It's the same in every skill, if you try and be the best skateboarder in your school, you'll probably be pretty good - but the kid who watches pro's and wants to be better then them will be the town legend eventually.
Im a huge fan of Retals and Majic. Obviously it was disappointing to see the boys not even being remotely competitive against France or Brazil. Respect to Retals for admitting that it was lack luster, they choked and they need to step it up big time. Expectations should be very high for everyone involved. I just hope the focus is in the right place. I dont think its a coincidence that there arent many top players with daily videos on youtube and Id much rather watch a competitive team than a mediocre youtube channel.
W video as per usual. Don’t lose too much confidence though Retals, stay confident in games don’t play scared! Of course you already know this and may not even look at comments but y’know.
I was impressed with Cheese. He's really worked hard on reducing defensive mistakes. IMO he was top goal saver most games and, overall he played a strong game. Honestly, I thought retals had a weak tournament. Overall, the GenG move may work out pretty well for NA RLCS
Hey dude. I have been watching your content on YT since around your time in SSG, and never missed an upload. I'm a french RL player, but i'm always rooting for any team you are on. As i watched your videos regularly, i noticed, around like maybe a year and half ago (could be more or less i don't really know) your overall skill level went UP. but like... significantly. It was to a point where you would do something in ranked that i've never seen in any of your previous vids, and it would happen in another video, with, again, another thing, and in another one, etc. I don't really think you ever noticed it yourself cause you play everyday and you work your ass off so it would maybe feel like normal skill progression, but to an average player like me, it was extremely noticeable. Thing is, even though this pattern didn't last forever, i still feel like if i watch a classic ranked video of you from like 3 months ago, you're better today in comparison. You are obviously still improving in a game you pour thousands of hours in and that's just insane to me lmao. you've not reach your skill limit and i'm fucking hyped for 2025 RLCS with Gen G. Good luck for the grind !
Really hope all three of y'all grind to improve. No doubt y'all are nasty but like you said, the skill gap between you guys and France/Falcons is obviously noticeable. I'm rooting for you guys!
The number 1 trait amongst the most successful people throughout history is perseverance. More so than intelligence, strength, adaptability, or any other trait. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and you will get to your destination. Combine perseverance with the other traits mentioned and you will be a force to be reckoned with.
I'm sorry, I was rooting for Reysbull to get to playoffs, but would have loved to see you guys as well :( You guys represented your country great, and in my opinion your emotions after the last game showed that!
I really would wanna know why Dan, atomic and fk rejected the invite because imagine representing your country. There’s no bigger honour than to do that. So their excuse better be good
great mental and a perfect score on revising what needs to be worked on, goated IGL and team leader and player out of you slater. start putting yourself on G2's level and you guys will climb high. we need wins against yan lol
Yoy guys have so much potential to outplay higher level teams through synergy, I'm no pro but The only way to beat those talented teams is cohesion, You were able to do it with Morocco and I'm hopeful to see what you guys have to offer this year!
You guys showed up man and that’s what is more important! Kinda makes me lose a little respect for some of the higher tier players aka G2 for not taking the opportunity and represent the country. But I’m not mad that you guys put the country on yalls back! GG’s maybe next time!
@@brianagler3329 if u set unrealistic goals u will never achieve them. Something like winning a regional is a much more achievable goal but even that would take an insane amount of improvement
I really do hope that NA teams start taking the job more seriously. Top 8 or top 4 should not be the goal, winning should be the goal. Bootcamp all season like the EU teams, and really focus on how to be the #1 team. It sucks as an NA enjoyer to lose almost every international event to EU. If you're not trading series wins with G2 (NRG) in tournaments, then you gotta go back to the drawing board. G2 shouldn't have been as dominant as they were. If other NA teams or players think that taking the game seriously is cringe, let them think it's cringe as you step over them and take their spot. Rant aside, congratulations on the opportunity to represent your country, and I hope to see GenG on top of NA.
Rocket League "fans" piss me off so much. I get that it's a lot of kids, but it's so annoying how they think that everyone who isn't peaking at world championship level is awful at the game or "mid". Like stfu consistency is basically non existent for 99% of pros in this game
I play RL almost everyday and watch every RLCS event and I didn't even know this tournament was happening. Like WTF Epic and Psyonix, put some effort on marketing! I know they publish stuff on X but that platform sucks nowdays and people like me don't even have account there anymore. Would it be too much to ask if they use the game itself to inform people about these events?! It works with RLCS.
Im an na hater but atleast you admit NA 3 and 4seed arent important. People saying eu was finished after missing major 2 finals like the eu 4th seed didnt just win the first major
Can we stop getting zoom ins on retals face during important parts of the gameplay 😭 Ik the games are out there to watch but it’s tilting to just not be able to see what’s happening
Hahahaha dude is in such denial. I love retals but saying things like teams from MINA can sometimes beat you lol. Falcons beat every NA team 8/10 times bro. EU and MINA are leaps ahead of NA. G2 is literally the only team that is good in NA.
