      Exactly this. The player he turned into in game 4 and 5 to take those wins reminded me of a more refined Flakes or something. RW9 is such a punishing and defensively liable player that most of what Zen normally does is just not viable.

    What's interesting about Rw9's ground defense which I don't see with many others, is that even before Zen is comfortable or setup with a ground dribble, he pre-jumps but with the intention to go back to ground. As soon as Zen sees the pre-jump he tries to move the ball off his car to go under or a low 50/50, but of course, Rw9 is already anticipating that flying back to ground. Masterful defending

    • @emmanuel6604

      the thing he that Rw9 knows the aerial power that Zen has so he is just trying to intimidate him the most possible so he can make his opponent play in the way he want. Zen played this series more grounded than others because Rw9 did not allow him to be comfortable in his stuff.

      i feel like i see that exact play pretty often in 1v1 gameplay and definitely try to do it myself often... but either way Rw9 just has a really good understanding of exactly what the other player wants to do and is always ready for their next move. A really good example is at 3:43 too, he sees Zen go high, so he goes high, sees zen go low, but doesn't go low because he understands that Zen probably is going to go high again so he stays high and backflips

    I think this is good for Zen. He started out so dominant that everyone put so much pressure on him. Also at such a young age being so good it's easy to form an ego that you are just different, but now after a second loss he can shake that off and get on with being himself. Apparentlyjack is an example of someone who has a very strong mentality because he took so many losses on his come-up.

    Notice how many of RW9 goals come easy while all of Zen's goal are hard fought over. RW9 seems to have a much better understanding of time and space. He is much more aware of where he, his opponent and where the ball are in relation to each other than what Zen is. Frequently he will be able to capitalize on small errors in Zen's place while Zen is rarely able to do the same to him. Zen don't get ANYTHING for free here, RW9 seems to know exactly where he is and what he could do at any time and is able to prepare for it.

Daniel is the only player I’ve seen recently have soo much in his bag that Rw9 couldn’t defend against it. Perfect 1s trifecta, Zen most versatile, Rw9 best defender in the game, and Daniel the most unstoppable mechanically.
    Zen beats Daniel, Rw9 beats Zen, Daniel beats Rw9. I love the state of RL 1s right now, soo many different play styles.

    Now that you're here, Johnny (or whoever edits these) I'm begging you (and Feer) to please add 'dead time' at the end of every video so that we don't get spoiled by looking at the time remaining in the video. It's hard not to look at the timer, especially with ads and skipping dead time. It makes the match so much less interesting when I know who's going to come out on top by game 5 of this series.

    Both players are insane, way ahead of the competition in their own ways.
    Zen's speed and ability to hit shots that nobody else can hit are in a league like we've never seen, it's also worth mentioning that Zen's overall strategic mind is pretty good - it's not like he's just relying on mechanics to destroy opponents, he can play smart as well and his mindgames are all the more dangerous because of how insane his mechanics are, which is part of what makes him so unbelievably dominant.
    Rw9 is just different. His consistency in his 50s, positioning, boost management, and ofc goal line saves is just unbelievable. And like how Zen is more than just a flashy player, Rw9 is more than just a crazy defender - he has the mechanics to perform the flashy outplays when he needs to as well.
    Both of them are monsters, of a different kind, but equally scary. I feel like Rw9 might have the edge in 1v1s simply because his more solid playstyle favours punishing mistakes, which in 1s can lead to very easy goals. Rw9 turns Zen's natural all-in playstyle into a weakness, because if it doesn't work then the counters are basically unstoppable, which forces Zen to play much more conservatively than he usually does. Still, games 4 and 5 (and 6 tbf, though Rw9 was too strong) demonstrate that Zen has the capacity to play at the level required to meet Rw9 solo on the pitch.
    Great players and another great series by them, I look forward to a long and healthy rivalry between them!

    12:23 the last touch was weighted properly to ensure recovery and possession. Rw9's challenge covers the entire net and ignoring this fact and continuing a normal airdribble would be neutral at best and potentially losing... And Zen converts this advantage successfully.
    18:02 Zen has this weird tendency to try to boom the ball forward into Rw9's possession. He's done it at at least 3 times so far and conceded after every one. Instead of throwing the ball away in a manner that is admittedly very mechanical, he should opt to send it softly to his corner, away from the opponent if he can't control it. In all these situations he has low boost but definitely a workable amount if he just maintains possession. If one is to dribble/guide the ball along the sidewall 50/50s become 25/25/50s where the wall is completely solid and a great defensive asset. Maybe Zen has kept his 2s/3s mindset and expects a teammate to connect and counterattack these clears that not only give the ball away but seem to completely compromise his position. Maybe Zen dislikes defense and doesn't feel comfortable on the backfoot. Personally as someone with basic mechanics I enjoy frustrating attackers, all though Rw9's style is very effective and minimalist, I suppose I'd crumble psychologically if I faced him.
    Zen also tends to bluff on defense in plays where it doesn't hurt Rw9 to test the simple option Zen presents. Sometimes when I'm tilted I will consciously leave an opening and just hope it's too obvious for the opponent to consider. This almost always backfires as the attacker need only proceed honestly to easily score. 36:30
    45:38 here's Zen doing exactly what I prescribed earlier. Soft touch into corner so Rw9 doesn't have much of an angle. Alas it's too little, too late. Definite improvement though.
