1v3 outplays in the RLCS aren't super common, but when they do happen they are truly amazing. When one player can outplay 3 opponents, one after the other, that are all some of the best defenders in the world, it's never something to just ignore. Today, I chose 5 of my favorite pro 1v3 moments to break down and showcase. 5 times Rocket League pros outplayed everyone. Take a seat and enjoy some incredible pro Rocket League gameplay and highlights from the RLCS.

Hey wayton I made a new mech:kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6ClkGqBoLyEmdUsi=w0e6XbRBLEf_Vk77 Hope to see it in ur new mechs of 2024 videos at the end of the year

[@UN-Avo]

Daniel’s shot is still one of the greatest shots I’ve ever seen. It’s crazy how good players are these days…

[@ryanwyatt6769]

I agree. Zens iconic off the backboard play in worlds is 2nd to me.

[@Gin42_]

Sypical shot is still crazy to me, i think Corner Reads from ceilling setups are extremely rare, and even if you have the setup, he had no boost when doing the perfect shot, i dont think i have seen this in pro plays other than sypical, even in ranked lobbys you can see psychos everygame now, but this one is So rare

[@CrabbyFootballandGames]

Just imagine how good prodigys would be in 2 more years

[@Killertje_129]

Dark shots

[@DanielZwanepol]

Thanks man

[@Drrobverjones]

The Daniel shot just leaves me in awe every time. Everyone including Chronic assumed that his play was over and he wqs just giving the ball to Chronic. But he somehow gets a flip reset with 10 boost and lifts it like crazy again. He already lifted a falling ball with the preflip catch, then lifted it again a ton with his 10 boost flip reset.

[@alexelliott7109]

fax, completely stunning....

[@DanielZwanepol]

Thanks

[@OwnedEpicStyle]

@@DanielZwanepolNo problem

[@magical5181]

It was great, but I wasn’t as impressed as I was with Rise’s goal for example

[@JimingoRL]

I was very surprised that Zen's 1v3 against KC from his backboard wasn't here, that was the holy grail of 1v3ing.

[@carsonbruinink6434]

Yeah the shot Wayton chose is kind of underwhelming in comparison.

[@rxmy6690]

​@@carsonbruinink6434yeah there were way better options

[@LukaDoesRL]

I think it might be because he had that shot in a different video and he wouldn’t wanna reuse the same clip

[@WaytonPilkin]

That one is already in a different video I made! Otherwise yeah that would've been a good pick for this one too. It's in this one if you're curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6HNc3WafKt0Y9U

you're one of the only creators consistently putting out great content like this that keeps me connected to RL, I've been out of the scene for years now but this video was such a banger

Whenever im on the Phone with my Girlfriend, she says "that game is so boring, all u do is drive at a ball in a car" This video is (hopefully) all i need to show how much people can feel about this game (myself included) Thank u Wayton for being such a HUGE part of this game! I truly appreciate everything u do, from the bottom of my heart. Ur the best! ❤

Bro waytons storytelling is absolutely unmatched. Much love wayton, keep the grind up

[@CallMeBrahoo]

Thank you for the Flakes recognition!! Long live Flakes, it wouldn't be an outplay video without him. I hope one day he makes it back to RLCS.

[@shoestorekiddo]

Love this video idea. 1v3s are quite uncommon in pro scene because of how optimized defense mechanics and tactics is nowadays. So when a player pulls it off, it's totally worth remembering

[@Shivaxi]

DAYUM DANIEL!!

[@ThManHimself]

You somehow reignite my love for watching RLCS every time one of these videos come out.

[@vladutsu_]

Great video! High quality as always! One of my favorite outplays happened in the defense, not in the offense. Zen in his first major, on lan, with a defensive masterclass. Grand final on bracket reset, against Team BDS, alone going towards the goal while BDS counter attacks, Zen defends against a demo attempt and two shots. Might not be as flashy and impressive as a 1v3 goal, but it was a hell of a thing to do against the world champions of that time. The composure, skill, positioning and reactions while being targeted by the entire opposing team as the last line of defense was impeccable. What seemed to be an easy goal for BDS, turned out to be one of the most impressive saves I've ever seen.

[@WaytonPilkin]

Fr that was one of the best saves I've ever seen

[@Verrkami]

@@WaytonPilkinwhy not joyos from 2022 London? The best 1v3 behind Daniel’s imo

[@somerandomchad469]

i honestly think that that zen's defensive play is pretty overrated. I already know that someone's gonna call me a hater or whatever, but you cannot tell me that BDS played that well. Seikoo goes for the demo in the freaking midfield lol. The purpose of a demo in that play is to either demo the player, or threaten the player to leave space to open the goal. By going for the demo in the midfield the latter purpose becomes useless because the defender is able to recover in time. Because of this, Seikoo either demoes Zen or misses him, which adds nothing to the counter attack. Seikoo misses Zen, and then wins the 50/50 against MM since MM was just waiting behind the ball for Seikoo to demo Zen. Of course this is just my opinion and my view on the play, if you want to start a conversation with me i'll gladly do so as long as we keep things respectful. Also, this doesnt take away anything from Zen's play, definitely an incredible defensive play especially to do during the grand finals. I just dont think that its in the conversation as one of the best saves.

[@Verrkami]

@@somerandomchad469 I feel like what makes this so great for me is a bit of things. 1st, it’s the grand final of his first lan (rlcs cuz he went to a lot of lans b4) and to stop a team like bds that thrashed them in the upper semis is crazy. 2nd, not a lot of people would be able to do the recovery of dodging the demo then the 50 into another recovery for the 2nd 50, it shows how talented he is outside of offense. Last thing, it should be considered a top 5 or even top 3 save of all time and not saying that it is isn’t right, it’s an magnificent play from him and bds couldn’t have done anything to stop it with zen’s intellingence. And seikoo going for the demo from the midfield isn’t stupid, he needs to gain momentum early so he has a higher chance to be supersonic and demo him which zen notices it that so he jumps over him and makes an incredible double save. Personally, I disagree

[@somerandomchad469]

@@Verrkami kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqqYgoGPpNuZpLs This is one of the many ranked zen videos. I was casually watching this video after the comment i wrote and i saw something familiar in the minute 5:57. It's the same play as the bds play, but look what velocity does. Zen did the same jump, same dodge, the play was the exact same as the bds one, but velocity decided to fake the demo, making zen jump, and then demoed him. Do you still think that bds couldnt have done better? I mean, your first point is true, but the second isnt imo because the recovery was definitely the easiest part in zen's save because the amount of space seikoo gave. And yea, this is a top 5 max save oat probably. But the entire second half of your comment. I already explained how bds most definitely could have done something to stop zen's intelligence (even though intelligence isnt the key factor in this save imo). And yes, Seikoo going for the demo in the midfield is stupid. You dont need to be supersonic in the midfield, only when you're about to demo the opponent. Also, i'd very much prefer him not being supersonic and bumping zen out of the way close to the net instead of going all in on the demo in the midfield. If seikoo did what velocity did in the video i linked in 5:57 zen wouldnt have been able to save it.

Always appreciate your editing and production homie waytoney

[@Puffymosman9]

These rocket league documentaries have better editing than octal documentaries, props to the creator BBC’s this is a dope vid

[@Hermes0023]

I think another good shout for this video is not a single moment but rather a whole tournament that changed the whole ENTIRE meta of RLCS. This is when chaussette went into a dreamhack (can't remember which one) and just absolutely destroyed the competition in the fennec. After that, many pros started to use the fennec.

[@munrorobertson]

Your editing is the best. You use it so effectively to tell your story. Good job buddy.

Bros on his own level of editing, shits inspirational, also, what do you use for sound effects because the sound design is amazing

[@marktorch9079]

I was half expecting in this count down ZEN performing the last shot. Daniel's shot was insane. I got to say, early pro games at it's core never stopped reminding the viewers that it's a video game, but games now, the skill and mechanics pro players possess today make the game very exciting to watch.

[@Squashmalio]

I simultaneously think the Daniel goal was the most mechanical RLCS goal of all time, and think that I could pull it off as a C3 if I got lucky with the setup. Cognitive dissonance go brrrrrrrrrrrr

[@ilbonny6278]

The post pinch from Toxic is also a pretty solid goal to worth mentioning.

[@WaytonPilkin]

I looove that goal too, I actually did that one in a previous video here if you're curious: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqi7YZiYlNaVmrc

[@nighttimeserenity2447]

Watching these just warms my heart and puts out a lot of respect for these players. There's just something about being invested into rocket league, and seeing such plays that were live championships, lower brackets finals and so on.. It is just simply Stunning. I absolutely love it and oh boy does that make me love Rocket League just a little bit more than i already do. Didn't think this video would vow me that much, but it sure has.

[@ethanlohasz8293]

While there are other more iconic goals (e.g. justin 0 second, squishy cieling shot etc.) Daniels goal is in my opinion by far the best goal ever scored in the RLCS. Absolutely insane.

[@aaronmedina2089]

I completely agree. Utter perfection

[@OrbitzOffical]

0:16 Nah bro I’m running 😂😂😂

[@kb-verse]

i’ve been watching rlcs since the very beginning, and i’ve honestly never seen anything that comes close to daniel’s shot, that was honestly the craziest shot i have ever seen at that level

[@vito449]

RL 2023: OMG daniel is TAS RL 2024: not optimal, missed a backwards wavedash after the first touch

[@aaronpreddy35]

I remember watching Daniel score that on the live stream I lost my mind. Some people played it down but as you mentioned it was weak touch from a half flip with the back side of a car into a backward wave dash into a diagonal directional flip cancel, catching the ball and roating directional air roll with the ball on a serious arch into a flip reset with the perfect soop with only 10 boost remaining. Absolutely insane

[@Gigapyr0_0]

Some of the best editing i've seen in awhile. Props to whoever was behind it

[@Edgyhimself]

I was at the Boston major. First ever RL LAN and the best first LAN ever. We got the first perfect split in RL, longest OT on LAN, and zen was just incredible.

[@haydosplays5624]

I think Joyo's 1v3 against falcons in the finals of the 21/22 spring major is more iconic and just as skill full as these outplays.

[@davidkosiba624]

I mean Joyo is easily more mechy than all 5 of these players

[@jmlob10]

i was looking to see if anyone else mentioned this. i'm very surprised it isn't here. that goal was insane.

[@misterros94]

Great video! I think one player that deserves a mention as they were practically known for 1v3ing entire teams at their peak is Chausette45. I can vividly remember at least one of his 1v3 dribbles during Beyond the Summit (understandably that's not a serious tourney) but he surely also had some amazing full team out plays during Dreamhack Valencia. Joyo's ground to ceiling, to ground double vs. Falcons also deserves a shout, though that may have been covered in a previous video.

[@griffincarrero8431]

10:30 holy did commentators voice go up a few notches after the goal was scored. Him yelling "RISE" was so powerful it made me feel like i was in person watching it happen

[@thevixvapuru694]

this types of videos are extremely underrated, never quit man, your videos are GREAT

[@Zel-Veraan]

[@JFP-Knives]

[@Ossy13]

I was there for Daniel's shot and let me say, the amount of hype I got watching this happen live was insane.

[@Codeman05]

wow you can really tell a story wayton! definitely would not have been the same without you explaining it

[@mouldy_shoe]

Awesome video as always, glad u mentioned the arsenal outplay, easily one of my favourite RLCS goals ever scored purely because of how savage it was 😂

[@jadonmaxwell1744]

An understated aspect of Daniel's shot is that app jack rotated all the way back and also had full boost. This means that side of the goal is completely shut down and Chronic (also with full boost) only has to cover half the goal at most. The fact the Daniel had 10 boost at this point facing down two top tier professional players each with 10x his boost total and still managed to not just secure a goal but outplay them is astounding and secures is as one of the best goals of all time for me.

[@niuage]

Feels good when the commentators at the time recognize how special the play is.

[@jeremyrobert509]

I never post anything but i really wanted to say that your videos are the best for the narration, the rythme. i love them. Very good work for everything. You can be proud of your work.
