Easily the greatest split in RLCS history, Zen is something else and Alpha can finally show how good he really is. The fact that they can dominate this hard in the highest level of RLCS ever in the most talented region containing KC, BDS and Liquid is insane.
I wish he was watching during the 12 minutes OT between Rule1 & Vitality, since he was getting excited at every hit during this series his reaction to that would've been mental.
they have become really goood at clutching. Rule one for example they palyed really good but still lost 4-0 closest series i have seen that one side got demolished.
@sioxx8602 nah fax it was really big in the 2016-2018 gaming scene n then it died out a bit for the rest of 2018 then early 2019 epic took over n made it free to play which brought back the popularity then died out late 2019 until 2020 when covid started n everyone started playin games since then its kept a good balance i jus cant believe its almost 10 years old
Like most people in the world I have never heard of this streamer. RL is an 8 year old game and still pulls millions of monthly unique players according to the public tracker sites. 50k daily players just on steam alone which hasn't supported the game since Epic obtained it in 2020. Add Xbox, Playstation, Switch and Epic players and yeah like I said.. Millions. Rocket League is more mainstream than this guy I'd say. RL probably has more players than the combined total of people who are currently watching a stream on twitch. Talk about obscurity.. -watching another guy play a game live for hours isn't exactly a mainstream activity.
I know it's probably because I don't play the game for more than 5 hours a month but being this good at Rocket League is the most impressive thing I've seen in video games man.
I've played for years and am still only GC. To get to their level you basically have to be born to do it , like Slash was for guitar or Usain Bolt for the sprint. You also have to be really honest with yourself and willing to make big changes to your whole setup.. Which leads to my next point. Zen has revolutionised rocket league by using the triggers to air roll, instead of the bumpers. This allows fine control of the air roll speed because triggers have sensitivity where bumpers are on/off switches. I believe in a year or so almost everyone will be copying him and using triggers for air roll (some people already are). So he's taking the game forward already for sure. You will see some insane air plays/resets with that fine control when everyone has it perfected. Of course theres has always been people who have used triggers, but nowhere near at the level Zen has shown is possible.
I was SSL in this game and it's crazy how much talent this game takes. I'd be in matches with pros sometimes and afterwards I'd have to take a nap bruh 😭 it's insane how these guys train every single day and are able to stay focused, its soooooo easy to get burned out when every single tiny mistake will get you scored on vs good opponents
Yeah if u got 3 random average ssl’s and put them against a pro team, I’d be surprised if the average ssl’s would be even able to score more than 2 goals in a bo7
@@idkwhattoputhere5503 Yes the difference between ssl and a pro team is drastic, most ssl players linger between 1800-1900 and pros play in 2k+ lobbies. the stages of players are like SSL > GRINDERS > BUBBLE(SEMI) > PRO. A couple of years ago i would consider myself a grinder type player and having to go against even one pro in a 2s or 3s lobby requires alot more focus then the average high level player.
@@BINGSHOT97 Yeah but it's usually not in pure (mechanical) skill but more so consistency and team work. I've played in SSL tournaments against pro players like MonkeyM00n (world champion) and he didn't even stand out much to be honest. Don't get me wrong though, I don't mean to say that they are not 10 times better than the average SSL player
For everyone wondering about the throw, Zen didn't bump Seeiko until after he had hit the ball, Monkey moon did exactly what he was supposed to, Seeiko should have stopped dead in his tracks to hopefully slow Zen down and leave Monkey moon with an open net or just leave the ball to roll in, that throw was entirely on him.

Rocket League is one of the few game where it's genuinely hard to be really good. In other games like shooters, it's pretty obvious and easy to be skilled - you just need to learn positioning, game sense, and aim. But Rocket League is a whole different thing. There are no other games like it, so you can't rely on previous training. That's what makes it so unique. When I see these pro players I admire them because this is the only game where I ask myself "How do they do it?"
JUST learn positioning game sense and aim JUST LEARN, even though you can boil down rocket league to rotates and car control this game is only mechanical with very little game sense or knowledge you can just play this game with ur entire brain detached from your body
@@bibirikun This is incorrect info... Starting from, Diamond 2.. To reach diamond 3, you would need gamesense and few mechanics like fast aerial.. thats pretty much it. To reach Champ 2 and above, you need game sense and abit of mechanics on your back like power shots, basic dribble variations, and wall reads/ball control) to reach GC, you need very good gamesense and some mechanics under your back such as bounce dribbling, flicking & transitioning plays. imo.
It's comparing apples to oranges here, but I'll bite. MOST pro FPS players will flat out admit CSGO is the king of shooters regarding how difficult it is to become a pro. And even then there is a DRASTIC difference between the top ten teams in the world and the rest. You can hear the opinions of even RS6 pros stubbornly agreeing with Shroud back in the day that CSGO is leagues ahead of it in how difficult it is at a pro level of play. RL is fundamentally an extremely straightforward and simple game. Block ball from going in your SINGLE net and get ball in other SINGLE net. Theoretically the basics are simple to learn, but fairly difficult to master. The macro of the game is drastically more simple than a shooter like CSGO. The information for playing the proper macro (boost management, positioning, rotates, etc) are all right in front of you. The game hands it to you. You just have to know what to do and react properly. A game like CSGO is more like chess at the macro level and that's why even RS6 pros whined about it. Because the game absolutely hands you zero information. You don't see their economy. You don't SEE their weapon placement across the map. You don't SEE their rotates. You don't SEE their rotates. List goes for miles. You have to smartly poke and prod for information and toe a dangerous line of getting too little information for what you gave up or being punished for it. People who never dove deep into CSGO never understand the utter mind games and information gathering aspects of the best pro teams. Nothing is handed to you like in a game like overwatch, valorant, RS6, etc with abilities giving information. Those top teams with combined 100,000+ hours between the players playing CS for like 15 years now are utterly disgusting in weeding out shitty teams just in the macro level alone. Much less the micro. Where these are the cream of the crop genetically/trained for that type of game for something like aim and movement. RL is heavily MICRO focused. 95% of what you see is teams bouncing back and forth with straightforward macro play while watching their teammates 1v1 in the air or at the goal. The deciding factor at this level of play most of the time is having a single player who is utterly disgusting at a micro level and able to win a 1v1 more often than he loses it. Whether that is defending in the air or taking a shot on goal. The game itself is EXTREMELY simple in regards to macro. You SEE all of the information in front of you. You see the boosts. You see where the other team is. You see the goal and how they are rotating. You see literally everything. At a pro level of play just stripping one of those away makes the game magnitudes harder. I view RL as an extremely unique version of COD if you compare FPSs to this genre of games. The top level of COD players are insanely talented regarding micro (aim, movement, etc), but at the end of the day the actual mind games and macro level play is more like checkers where something like CSGO is chess. But yeah, you're really really dumbing down a shooter like CSGO in pro play. I haven't seen another game come close to the information required each round to succeed outside of something like League or Dota. You can go find rocket league positioning guides and breakdowns of pro players and I can promise you that you will find a few hours of information out there breaking down how RL pros play their macro game with positioning, rotates, and boost. But you will get all the information you need in a few hours digging around. Doesn't mean you're close at all to them or able to implement it, but it's all you need because the game is simple. Meanwhile in CSGO you can find ex-pro players putting guides out there where they can talk about why a team stutter stepped an angle and they didn't throw a flash behind him in round 12 based off of what the other team was doing, what the team was doing, what round it was, what the economy was, how the other team played in previous rounds, how the other team plays historically, etc for 40+ minutes by itself. Pro analysis of other pro games can be 2-3 hour long videos digging deep into very small details and showing how the dynamics of the game change every time and it's a chess mind game. Sorry, sperged out.
Listening to This guy explains perfectly why he is the rank he is. "Enemy gets bumped in the air in a 2v1 and concedes a goal" "What is this guy DOING???" Blind much? 11:25 "what is he doing?, oh it was a fake". You mean the basic and obvious pass that you SHOULD be doing in gold even? I guess it was hard for you to spot.
aah ok, so xqc is allowed to sit there and cherry pick what's bait and what's not? He has been serious about this type of stuff plenty of times. Quit glazing
i love how within the first 2 minutes xqc decides to bank his entire reputation on BDS , and then they proceed to get expectedly obliterated by vitality for 30 mins
2:17 they were actually very well rotated, both shadowing, one on front post, and one on back. Sadly they both got demo’d. Not bad rotating just unlucky demos.

@@ragegaze3482 I think it goes both ways, it looks impressive to a unskilled player too, which it something unique to Rocket League.

Holy shit I'm sounding like the 🤓Emote AKSHUEALLY
To be fair the sheer skill gap between the two finalists was probably the biggest we‘ve seen to date. Yes there always was a favourite and great seemingly impossible comebacks from the loosers bracket but that final was just a beatdown like we‘ve never seen before. You can tell both teams played at their best was well in that situation but more often than not we got to game 7 in the finals with one golden goal bein the decider in ot but this was very direct to say the least.
I’m never on twitch but I appreciate the people who watch live and chat. Makes it so much funnier seeing people say shit like “your ass stop cappin” 😂😂
How can someone talk so confidently about something they dont understand. Ive been 1750 in 2s, 1650 in 3s, and even i wouldnt pretend to know the complexities and high level mind games that are going on at pro play.
Jessie trying to say it was Monkey Moon who threw lmao. Seikoo literally just had to leave the ball and it was a goal. Best series I have ever watched though. Highest level RL game to date.
dude, @Xqc, come on. surely you were just saying that on the heat of the moment. Going in free play and putting the shots, or have standard defense on your gaming chair against champion level opponents is one thing. Doing it at that speed, after 4 days of int'l competition, on LAN in front of 3K people, good f-ing luck. You'd crumble in fetus position after 30 seconds calling "maman"
@@La_Win69 They're both good, not very comparable, but CS has more depth to the gameplay, which I'd like to think makes it a "better" e-sport, but that may also has it's drawbacks, like not being very noob friendly.
@@Oscylot88 more depth how? at least mechanically no game comes even close to rocket league except maybe fortnite. I can understand the depth coming from like lineups, positioning for objectives and so on, but most of that is repeatable game by game, or round by round so I don't think it's deeper by any means. Almost everything in rocket league is improvised on the spot except the kickoff, so it's a lot harder to mess up. The games are also only like 6 minutes on average as well to be fair, so the faster paced gameplay balances out with not having to play as long.
i cant believe this guy moans after every hit trying to give pros advice😭 hes pushing plat 2 div 2 on north america and everytime he goes up against a diamond 1 all of a sudden the opponent is a smurf sniper
CANT YOU SEE IT WAS SEIKOS FAULT?? HE HIT THE BALL UNNECESSARILY LAST SECOND BC HE WANTED TO SCORE THE GOAL HIMSELF INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE BALL FOR MONKEYMOON TO HIT IT IN GOAL. SEIKO ABSOLUTELY THREW THIS... SMH
30:23 triggered me when you said it was monkeymoons fault I’m watching you watch seikoo backflip and hit the ball out of reach you can see the sparks on every touch and you can see monkeys reaction he’s pissed at seikoo and seikoo threw when he could have left it and tied it up
im C3/GC1 and you know, got a double flip reset or 2 in me. Im always just shocked by how fast and game wise the pros are. Not to mention their mechanics also being insane. Zen and Alpha were just different yesterday
Lmao the way he says I would of got that shot like these guys aren’t some of the quickest reacting humans on the planet rocket league is a lot of reaction and finding lmao
Lmao he needs to watch freestyler competition if he wants to see some wild mechanics, the speed of RLCS gameplay makes it impossible to understand how good what they actually do is.
You gotta account for the fact that these Vitality players are exhausted after playing three intense Bo7 series before the series in this video. The fact that they screw up a couple rotations/touches seems like it should be a given. It's honestly bonkers that they won this series 4-1.
Started playing Rl in 2015 and always said this game has the biggest competitive potential because its legit Soccer. Even normie non gamers understand to an extent you need to get the ball in the goal to win and the fact its with cars is just an added plus and super unique. Glad its getting mainstream eyes on it because it can easily be the biggest esport.

The top level of COD players are insanely talented regarding micro (aim, movement, etc), but at the end of the day the actual mind games and macro level play is more like checkers where something like CSGO is chess.
But yeah, you're really really dumbing down a shooter like CSGO in pro play. I haven't seen another game come close to the information required each round to succeed outside of something like League or Dota. You can go find rocket league positioning guides and breakdowns of pro players and I can promise you that you will find a few hours of information out there breaking down how RL pros play their macro game with positioning, rotates, and boost. But you will get all the information you need in a few hours digging around. Doesn't mean you're close at all to them or able to implement it, but it's all you need because the game is simple. Meanwhile in CSGO you can find ex-pro players putting guides out there where they can talk about why a team stutter stepped an angle and they didn't throw a flash behind him in round 12 based off of what the other team was doing, what the team was doing, what round it was, what the economy was, how the other team played in previous rounds, how the other team plays historically, etc for 40+ minutes by itself. Pro analysis of other pro games can be 2-3 hour long videos digging deep into very small details and showing how the dynamics of the game change every time and it's a chess mind game.
Sorry, sperged out.
Listening to This guy explains perfectly why he is the rank he is.
"Enemy gets bumped in the air in a 2v1 and concedes a goal" "What is this guy DOING???"
Blind much?
11:25 "what is he doing?, oh it was a fake".
You mean the basic and obvious pass that you SHOULD be doing in gold even? I guess it was hard for you to spot.
Every time I watch RL pros, im convinced they have longer triggers on their controllers that make them drive faster.
He needs to build a roster after worlds
22:40 the way he looked back on the screen to read the team's name
30:20 Kinda tilting watching the chat spam "zen bumped" when that didn't happen lmaooo
I like how he baits chat by criticizing their little mistakes. And 12 yo chat still get mad about it
“Bait” massive coping there just like xqc when he says “I could’ve gotten that goal”
@999CLIPSno u
aah ok, so xqc is allowed to sit there and cherry pick what's bait and what's not? He has been serious about this type of stuff plenty of times. Quit glazing
@@adammasterx5854no way you think he's being serious when he says that😭
Zen is probably the greatest to ever do it. He got signed a year before he could even play.
Gets consistently slapped by rw9.

i love how within the first 2 minutes xqc decides to bank his entire reputation on BDS , and then they proceed to get expectedly obliterated by vitality for 30 mins
2:17 they were actually very well rotated, both shadowing, one on front post, and one on back. Sadly they both got demo’d. Not bad rotating just unlucky demos.
Rocket League is such an underrated game
it's not
@@Buggolious my opinion
100%

XQC WE WANT MORE RL WATCH PARTIES. WORLDS IS NEXT MONTH.
Xqc can’t even comprehend what they are doing
2:13 I love that goal effect
X needs to get humbled by jstn again 🤣
He gives out about their defence when 2 series prior that had a 12 minute overtime with solid defence and offence lmao
those 12 minutes were UNURGUABLY the greatest rlcs i have ever watched in my life
X thinks he has even the slightest clue of what is going on on the screen 💀HELL NAW
He literally can only comprehend 5% of what he is watching, he got excited at the most boring ground play ever too. (Probably because he can relate to it OMEGALUL)
Bro got excited about every air dribble 😂
ye, the better you are at rocket league the more appreciation you get of the players when watching it for sure.
@@ragegaze3482 I think it goes both ways, it looks impressive to a unskilled player too, which it something unique to Rocket League.
What I meant was specifically how X thinks he knows what's going on in the match and claims the gets it, yet it's clear that he has no clue about the actual thinking going on in the pros mind, he has absolutely 0 clue.
Holy shit I'm sounding like the 🤓Emote AKSHUEALLY
To be fair the sheer skill gap between the two finalists was probably the biggest we‘ve seen to date. Yes there always was a favourite and great seemingly impossible comebacks from the loosers bracket but that final was just a beatdown like we‘ve never seen before. You can tell both teams played at their best was well in that situation but more often than not we got to game 7 in the finals with one golden goal bein the decider in ot but this was very direct to say the least.
him saying monkey moon fault is wild, clearly seikos
I’m never on twitch but I appreciate the people who watch live and chat. Makes it so much funnier seeing people say shit like “your ass stop cappin” 😂😂
yeah, if you're 14
hands down greatest esport

Awesome seeing xqc doing rocket league stuff
So glad xQc is showing a wider audience how cool this esport is :D
How can someone talk so confidently about something they dont understand. Ive been 1750 in 2s, 1650 in 3s, and even i wouldnt pretend to know the complexities and high level mind games that are going on at pro play.
5:13 „The psycho guy“ 😂
Jessie trying to say it was Monkey Moon who threw lmao. Seikoo literally just had to leave the ball and it was a goal. Best series I have ever watched though. Highest level RL game to date.
exactly, ball was going in 100%
They both had a touch on it and both touches put it a bit more off net lmao

He juges vitality's defense but he doesn't know that they just played 3 BO with a game that ended with 12min of OT, bro they were EXHAUSTED
this is so cozy to watch with X and chat.
Zen is a monster.
And he's so young
cozy it was a hard watch at best
@@vukvla2046 ayo?
dude, @Xqc, come on. surely you were just saying that on the heat of the moment. Going in free play and putting the shots, or have standard defense on your gaming chair against champion level opponents is one thing. Doing it at that speed, after 4 days of int'l competition, on LAN in front of 3K people, good f-ing luck. You'd crumble in fetus position after 30 seconds calling "maman"
Ah yes, the grand and amazing RLSC
I wish he saw that rule one vs vitality 12min ot cause the amount of offensive pressure of vitality and the defense of rule one would've astonish xqc
Rocket League is probably the best E-sports game to watch/play imo
CS is up there
@@decencysins7801 id consider rl better imo
@@La_Win69 They're both good, not very comparable, but CS has more depth to the gameplay, which I'd like to think makes it a "better" e-sport, but that may also has it's drawbacks, like not being very noob friendly.
@@Oscylot88 more depth how? at least mechanically no game comes even close to rocket league except maybe fortnite. I can understand the depth coming from like lineups, positioning for objectives and so on, but most of that is repeatable game by game, or round by round so I don't think it's deeper by any means. Almost everything in rocket league is improvised on the spot except the kickoff, so it's a lot harder to mess up. The games are also only like 6 minutes on average as well to be fair, so the faster paced gameplay balances out with not having to play as long.
@@ragegaze3482 You're completely disregarding many elements of CS, most notably movement, if you don't know the game, I ain't gonna argue with ya.
"theyre doing wheel barrels off the roof man" absolute gold to hear that kind of stuff as ranked sweat haha
His lack of understanding of the game is more interesting than the actual game😂
Agreed
“Lebron James Spider-Man up in this bitch” 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓
watching the RLCS makes me feel intense.
watching you watch the RLCS makes me giggle like an 8 year old girl.
i cant believe this guy moans after every hit trying to give pros advice😭 hes pushing plat 2 div 2 on north america and everytime he goes up against a diamond 1 all of a sudden the opponent is a smurf sniper
when i saw the thumbnail i deadass thought Zen played with him 😭😭🤧🤧
More RL e-sports content pls
He's so unbelievably hardstuck gold that he doesn't even comprehend what they are actually doing
I can never tell if XQC is trolling or serious.
True 😂
CANT YOU SEE IT WAS SEIKOS FAULT?? HE HIT THE BALL UNNECESSARILY LAST SECOND BC HE WANTED TO SCORE THE GOAL HIMSELF INSTEAD OF LEAVING THE BALL FOR MONKEYMOON TO HIT IT IN GOAL. SEIKO ABSOLUTELY THREW THIS... SMH
Buddy actually thinks he's GC. Wtf, I'm dead.
Well even gcs aren’t even anywhere close to pros
I made this reply before he said he was gc. I thought u were just referring to him trash talking pros
@@Mona-.- true anyone under SSl is probably closer to Xqcs skill level than they are to the pros unironically. They are so far ahead

rocket league esports is some of the most entertaining to watch and gamble on
Love the platinum comms in a RLCS match hehe
Seeing X talk about RL not knowing anything is painful man, I'm glad he's having fun and enjoying it don't get me wrong but hooooly
It is truly crazy to me that he is calling actual professionals garbage🤣🤣
Loving the rocket league content!
seikoo is gc dawg like wtf was that 24:27
im C3/GC1 and you know, got a double flip reset or 2 in me. Im always just shocked by how fast and game wise the pros are. Not to mention their mechanics also being insane. Zen and Alpha were just different yesterday
Naming it RLSC in the title is the most xQc thing I’ve seen
If xqc is GC then I’m Santa clause lmaoooo
Lmao the way he says I would of got that shot like these guys aren’t some of the quickest reacting humans on the planet rocket league is a lot of reaction and finding lmao
XQC is hilarious. Super entertaining. As a longtime RLCS viewer, his commentary is hilarious 😂

a plat telling vitality how to rotate, he truly is a part of the community xd
Lmao he needs to watch freestyler competition if he wants to see some wild mechanics, the speed of RLCS gameplay makes it impossible to understand how good what they actually do is.
pro play is much more impressive imo freestyling is just muscle memory with nobdy trying to defend
free styling is for hardstuck losers lmao it’s the most trash segment of players in the game i can’t believe it even exists tbh
You gotta account for the fact that these Vitality players are exhausted after playing three intense Bo7 series before the series in this video. The fact that they screw up a couple rotations/touches seems like it should be a given. It's honestly bonkers that they won this series 4-1.
Xqc is trolling 😂❤
The best thing is Zen was banned, this was his first year being able to play. And wins the split like a G.
Please do more rocket league content 🔥🔥
That's hilarious he's criticizing Vitality defense. Team BDS is ridiculous. All these players are so insanely talented
He said “I’m not plat, I’m GC” and he gets impressed every time someone airdribbles the ball 😐
as a gc seeing a GRANDPLAT telling zen how to rotate, might be one of the funniest things
i swear to god x has the worst takes
Started playing Rl in 2015 and always said this game has the biggest competitive potential because its legit Soccer. Even normie non gamers understand to an extent you need to get the ball in the goal to win and the fact its with cars is just an added plus and super unique. Glad its getting mainstream eyes on it because it can easily be the biggest esport.
