How to Defend in 2v2 | Gameplay Analysis

Hey guys, I'm here with a 2v2 gameplay video. I've had some requests for 2s content, so I focused hard on explaining my defensive decisions. I'm confident this will help you rank up!
If you have any questions, ask away! Also, thank you for watching and supporting the channel. I've been having so much fun grinding the game and making content.

that camera angle lol it looks like a different game

[@lovesmrjarrett]

I was thinking exactly that! Why does it look like it's on ez mode, as far as seeing what's going on haha

@@leziogarcia3003Don’t lol, these camera settings are not good at all. It works for him but are generally terrible settings as his car is so small and goes off screen so much. Just copy a pros settings

[@matthewhammomd3842]

The camera settings are crazy but it seems do much easier to read the field with it

[@jarkkolaiho462]

That is some hiqh IQ play. Extremely useful! I'm hovering around high C1 and low C2 in 2s and am basically at the end of both my mechanics and game sense. Would be interesting to see analysis of games around that level where lower player ability makes the play style quite different as well.

[@Kevpert]

I actually want to do more videos per week. Not daily but maybe 3-4 times a week. Doing an analysis day for stuff like this could be a good idea! I'm gonna get comfortable in doing 2 a week, but perhaps in the coming months (especially after the RLCS season wraps up).

I give you a good tip of your life! Stop double committing and dont bang the ball on the walls and give possessions away. Learn to dribble more and flicks. And catching and drifting. Open nets, dont mis them

[@balladin9200]

Pervert would be a Pro player if he wasn't playing from a satellite with those camera settings.

[@Kevpert]

One time, when Firstkiller was 12 and in Rank A, I was on his 6mans team. He started calling me "Kevpervert" in voice comms. Had to mute him because it was instantly chalked LOL. So, you remind me of Firstkiller - you're in good company!

[@balladin9200]

@@Kevpert haha i'm like him fr, guess i'm becoming the pro. Also because of your videos too thanks keep it up.

[@AirChargedGaming]

Excellent fundamentals. Hovering on any threat of an aerial. Being sideways and shadowing as 2nd, and initiating most offence with a quick flick, some of the best rocket league I have watched, thanks for this video!

[@dev__adi]

As soon as I saw the hover 😂

[@facerrl9933]

This video is a blessing! Your content is amazing, I’d love to see more 2s content - especially for higher level lobbies.

[@atlaslee8681]

Around @10:00 i realized "oh this is the defensive angles guy" I'm more a defensive player so i really love watching your channel. I think it's helped me get quicker on my side and push the play up field more consistently

[@scrashthepunkstar]

Hi Kev, I'm a big fan of your content and I've been watching it since the beginning. Hopefully you stick around for good this time :). Thanks for all your help, you've really left your mark in the world. Good luck in all you do!

[@Kevpert]

An OG! Thank you for your support over the years ❤

[@dreamy1855]

Love seeing you put out more content, always been a huge fan! I’d love to see a video similar to your defence angles one where you maybe breakdown these 2’s strats like the sideways position and hover. Do you do coaching sessions at all? I’d love to get one with you if you’d be willing! 🙏 Keep up the awesome work man we appreciate you so much!

[@SilentMind]

Watching this back and noticing how much my defense has improved and the rotations of 1st and 2nd man is embedded in my brain lmao. Really helpful. I know my opponents feel like they are shooting at a brick wall when my defense is warmed up

[@SRZent]

4:20 “ so I just go off the ceiling” man I’m new to rocket league and I got so much to learn lol. You crazy bro. Had a guy completely shit on me in game and after chatting he recommended to watch ur videos !

[@SRZent]

I find it so hard to control my car in the air going of walls and just controlling the car in the air in general . Only couple months into playing .

[@SRZent]

I’m using zens control bindings and your camera settings lol. I got used to his bindings but I think I like your amount of view better

[@SpeedCubeProRL]

I really love your content! It's so educational and helpful! Best rocket league content creator! It's really nice to see you uploading again! ❤

[@Kevpert]

Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to be back ❤

[@gadg9946]

Yo, been watching your vids lately. Super helpful. I have 100 hours in the game so I learn a lot from your vids

[@ToriKo_]

Wow hovering at crossbar height seems so cool watching this back and being able to see what’s happening

[@facerrl9933]

Also there are so few high quality tutorials for higher lobbies, so this is really amazing

[@unfortunateflicks6751]

Such a good video! My randoms need to watch it now!

[@michaelbuck5480]

This video is the best I've ever seen as far as instructive. Explained the concepts and reasons so well, thanks a bunch!

[@Gohan007]

This is a great video in every aspect! Continue uploading videos like these and your success is assured!

[@looaialmouqabil]

Very good. Also helps lower ranks like me in in champ 1. I like the way you tell why you do your actions and why not

[@yopCan]

Amazing content, I've just subbed to your channel. I'm myself a great fan of Flakes, and watch a lot of Mawkzy. I really loves the way you describe things, like you, I'm more into developing my gameplay around how to outsmart than outspeed. But like Mawkzy is saying time to time, stop saying I'm not mechanical, recoveries, 50s, fakes, dashes timing, even Flakes side cuts, or simple bounce dribble are all true and hard mechanics to master. I wish you the best in your endeavor to be a full time content creator from now on.

[@Kevpert]

Hi Yohann! Thank you for the kind words. And I love Flakes and Mawkzy... It's always crazy to see them beat a top tier mechanical player in their own unique way.

[@blackestbill7454]

first game was a masterclass, beautiful decision making

[@subeeyy]

lol i would never take anyone with those camera settings seriously but man you’re the only exception 😂

[@Steamrawrler]

I played vs. you a little over a month ago and found your channel after you made me feel stupid as hell in both games. After watching this, I realize I am definitely a stupid player.

[@JCut323]

The OG back at it again!! Love to see it. Great video!! Please keep it up

[@Kunu_]

Been watching Aircharged's stuff lately. A lot of the same strategy. Loving this. Your 1v1 defensive angles helped me so much. Really curious about those camera settings.

[@Kevpert]

I think I'll make a video for this in the next few weeks!

[@CassidyHansen]

[@ashtonking3412]

[@Alexander.Berglund]

Dude you’re posting again?? Hell yeah!:) I’m still maining the Samurai😄

[@reiner_13]

Great stuff here Kev, realized some mistakes in my game that can hopefully get me to GC2

[@Azikkii]

This is how I play in C3 and it works if your teammate has good decision making but most of the time if I play slower like this and trust my teammate to make the proper play behind me we get scored on. What kind of playstyle would work in C3 where you can’t totally rely on your teammate? Just try to hard carry?

[@Kevpert]

I mean, I think you should still focus on team work. It's part of a balanced approach - 1. work on your mechanics individually; 2. When you have the ball, try to carry; 3. When the opponents have the ball, try to work as a team. At C3, you can do a lot to impact the play without even touching the ball. Making smart decisions on the ball/when pressing will put your teammate in the best situation to make a good play. That's a big part of what 2s teamwork is.

[@ZeisixRL]

Enjoying the content KP. Keep it coming. 🙏

[@phoenixxofficial]

Great content, keep up the good work! (:

[@gizwiz3482]

those camera setting...makes it look like the the whole screen shakes when you touch the ball

[@ToriKo_]

Sometimes I watch your videos but forget to comment. But I really wanna be vocal here that I really liked this video! Love that your making 2s content. I got a few dumb questions too, if that’s okay. First, context, I play 2s and never ever ever play ranked. But I’m around a C1 in my casual lobbies, based of the lobbies responses. I don’t want to put a tonne of effort in, I’d rather just gleam some decision making insights to improve my play a bit. Questions: 1) 4:11. I KNOW I would’ve tried to push in front of my tm here with that one pad, (cos tm’s low boost too) and lunge at the ball to block angles and give tm time to recover boost and position better. You kinda rotated to the right and stayed grounded instead. Why? 2) 7:18 I KNOW I would’ve got closer and 50d the ball. I can see why that’s dumb, but can you break down how what you did was different and better? You did end up touching it soon after, and the opponent went flying. But for me, that same touch could’ve easily become a 50. And if they stayed in control of the ball/behind it the whole time, what would’ve you done then? When would’ve you attacked it? Or would you have backpost rotated?

[@Kevpert]

Great questions! 1. I'm just keeping track of the opponents. I saw one guy flip across net, so if the ball pops up like that, no one can score. So I just rotate right to get a few pads - nothing to panic about! 2. This one's easy. My teammate didn't get their 100 or the mid 100. So he's probably going for the back 100, so if I immediately challenge, I could take myself out of the game and leave him in a 2v1/1v1. I also read the opponent wiggling, and he never used boost - probably because he was 0 - so I did a single jump challenge to pop it over him. If they 50 it when it's closer to my teammate, he's in a better position to defend too. All I think about is "only challenge if you can create offense or win possession". I think I followed that guideline here.

Could you explain what you are doing with your dpad keys and how are you pressing them? Do you have some ds4windows remappings or rear controller buttons or something?

They're mapped to my Sony DS4 paddle attachment. Left Dpad is left paddle, right Dpad is right paddle.

[@gregrackett8385]

Very high camera settings I could never do that the fact you've hit ssl with that is shocking

[@BenLam00]

Can I ask why do you use those high and far camera settings? I know it's good for vision but don't mechanics like dribbles all that suffer coz you can't really see where the ball is on your car?

[@Kevpert]

I actually feel better mechanically, oddly enough. I think these days it really helps me, because I can read the opponent better and choose the right mechanic.

[@jakeabtan7631]

Hey man, love the content. Any chance you can post your camera settings? I feel like you can see so much more of the opponents with yours. Thanks!

They're in the description of each video. They roughly stay the same, with 110, 380, -8, 0.95 stiffness, 2.0 transition speed.

you have airplane camera settings 💀

is it just me or you have camera shake on?

Haha that's because my settings are so wonky, that aerial touches do that. I got used to it. There's no camera shake.
