@@hhasteI don’t think many people cry about bumping especially not air dribble bumping. But when someone uses ground bumps or demos as a large part of their game it just feels like they don’t deserve to win the game as they don’t have better skills they are just more reckless and need to lean on bumps
Really interesting to see how everyone has figured out how to shut down Zen after he shocked everyone with his uninterrupted mechanical aggression. Rw9 first showed that Zen's relentless attacks aren't effective as long as you are good at enough at defending, and Mawkzy, Dralii and Vatira have figured out an even better counter: getting up close and shutting Zen down before he can do any of his mechanical plays. And that strategy isn't only good against Zen, but against reactive defenders like Rw9 as well. No wonder it was Mawkzy who won stage 1
10:02 I notice they never go for the kick here, nobody seems to understand that that's a possibility. You can just half flip back and forward again, it will be a power shot
@@TheFembunnyI dunno, if that were the case, I don’t think the team would have been failing with Saizen. A simple roster change wouldn’t turn them from a failing team to a world champion team if alpha54 was doing it all for the team alone. On another note, I do like to see KC beating Vitality. Especially with Noly? I wish he was on the permanent roster.
I would say catching someone on top of your car on purpose is still a bump. Any car touch besides a demo is just a bump but a demo is technically a bump too
Weird to see people say zens 1’s prime is over however he’s still a young kid who has room to obviously grow and improve. Calling it now zen takes a little bit of time to improve and back away to see what he can learn
I think the issue was that from the beginning while he is a very great player his reputation preceded him. Now ppl are realizing he can swiftly be beat like any other player. It's not even his fault, the RL fans and players put that God complex on his name.
@@BeastModeYTClips fr, its amazing he was able to uphold it because he lost his first game of rlcs to quadrant and had 40 points and ppl say he's overrated lol, but when he wins worlds, they put him on a pedastal. In 1s, people still gave him a god complex since he only ever lost to mawkzy, rw9, when daniel peaks he loses to him. But people don't realize, joreouz almost sweep him, vati went to game 7, lots of players almost beat zen.
Your talking like vatira just started playing zen recently. These guys have been playing against each other for years man. Sometimes zen wins sometimes he doesn't it's really that simple
Players are just good bro. Aerial offense is very situational now and players have gotten very good at stopping it in general. Honestly if he improved his ground game it would make his aerial game more effective.
People put unrealistic expectations on Zen, it is impossible for anyone to play at their 100% best every game, it is also impossible to win every series.
@@justicebrown5486 because he lost a match against a great pro player? you know you can like one player without trashing the other. they're both amazing players and there's no need to act that way for no reason, that's just arrogant.
Is there a way you can make videos the same length so that we don’t know who wins after the first game? Each match is about ten minutes so it’s obvious. Love the videos but it sucks when it’s spoiled haha.
This, he's lost his mojo. I think we all have these days/periods where we overthink, lack confidence or otherwise are missing something. Then there are those days where you can just play well effortlessly.
Why does every goated pro just peak for a few months then fall off? It seems like AppJack was the last one then now its zens turn to dominate and now hes starting to seem less invincible. 2024 rlcs is gonna be insane!
Of course one of the first things Johnny says is a snide comment about starting the match without one of the players in the lobby. Something he can see, but chat can't. Wish there was a good 1v1 scene without his condescending personality. Oh well, I am glad for the content he provides.
Yeah true zens only been hyped up by Johnny and nobody else right? Lmao what a fucking idiot comment. Also of all the people to accuse of meat riding Johnny has always been one of the most willfully objective analysts.
I hope zen will stop putting so much pressure on himself and just enjoy the game. He just can't keep trying to be perfect or to satisfy everyone. When we see how he is so doubtful of his aerial game, it feels like he is second guessing each and every one of his decisions.. Vatira is a great player but zen just lost to himself today
You saying the man (Vatira) who is destroying the 2s lader by a big margin, 2 times Major champions, 4 times MVP did nothing but Zen lost to himself? While before the match he was 4-4 against Zen in 1v1 matches... nah bro that's delusion
Suggestion: Whenever a match starts, you tend to talk a lot about the player's history, instead of commentating on the actual match, which is a bit distracting, in my opinion. I would prefer the history part to take place before the match begins.
the respect these two have for each other is so refreshing in the competitive scene. love to see how their rivalship will develop
