How I won the biggest Rocket League tournament of my life...

This is the crazy story of how I won the Twitch Rivals Rocket League tournament against many other big Rocket League creators in front of thousands of viewers. I was amazed even by my own performance.

I managed to win the Twitch Rivals tournament with @Lethamyr, @PhantomACE, and Mist from Team Envy. We were the complete underdogs coming into the finals by rank, but we somehow managed to pull off the win. This is the story of I won the biggest Rocket League tournament of my life. I don't normally compete in Rocket League tournaments because I'm normally coaching, but this was an amazing experience. I've had the privilege of coaching teams to victory before but never playing on a winning team myself. Rocket League is extremely rewarding when you win as an underdog.

Leth is so fucking cracked dude. He’s literally a coach that is on the field with you, but somehow he’s also just as good as the pros, if not better. A rare example of someone with the mindset that can beat raw talent, but also the talent to beat raw talent.

[@yuhaye4801]

Not very mechanical tho, there are some better players

[@Dante-nu5cn]

@@yuhaye4801 he doesn't need to be mechanical, he plays in a really smart way

[@arksactuallyterrible]

Don't forget he was a pro at one time so he's still gonna be able to keep up but he's no longer pro level in mechanical or speed but he could easily go pro again he says he just dosnt want to that's why their team had the best chance they almost have 2 pros on their team

[@lofivibez182]

@@yuhaye4801 he has mastered basic mechanics better than any other player

[@lildmckay]

@@yuhaye4801 Leth is a master of every mechanic that was around when he was a pro. He’s damn good at all of the mechanics that came afterwards too.

Well played, wayton. You and your team were insane. Great video as always

[@angled__]

I saw leth's vid. Glad to see it from your POV. Edit: HOLY MUSTY COW GG

[@w.a.f.f.l.e.]

especially in the first couple of rounds, this really shows how good a pro like mist is compared to an ssl or a grand champ. the amount of work the pros put in and how much skill the have is incredible. having leth being a former pro also helped u guys a lot. both urs and leth’ videos on this were super entertaining to watch, and congratulations!

[@KongWillem]

Bro Wayton coming in clutch when I have nothing to do. Keep up the great content!

[@nofiah]

Love to see you doing better every day, I'm sorry I haven't come to a stream in awhile, I just haven't played Rocket League for quite awhile now. Your Vids are as good as ever. Keep it up man!

[@Rayhze]

You manage to consistently upload the most amazing RL content, bringing great story line and really being able to put across the emotions you guys went through. Never stop man. This style of video is your bread and butter. Perfect every time.

[@XLYRX-qd9wt]

What a display of integrity and resilience, a truly deserved win! Congratulations Team Lethamyr 🎉

[@itscomboes1435]

Congrats Wayton! I love your work and keep it up!

[@rsmcroberts]

I sad this on Leth's channel too. Before I even started RL, I watched you and him to learn about what I was getting into. It's so awesome to see you guys team up like this and I thought you did exceptionally well. Great stuff, bro.

[@jaymata1218]

It's great seeing Wayton stay positive in such a high pressure situation. A lot of other players would mentally check out when playing with higher ranks.

[@sizzle77]

Straight entertaining man good on ya! Got goosebumps when the clock had 9 seconds left and your team scored that final goal probably felt amazing!!!
