The comment that S5 and S6 are the most memorable grand finals is very accurate. Watching that 0 second goal even if they lost is the most iconic goal in all of rocket league in part *because* it was against Dig, and C9 winning S6 is forever one of my favorite games I've seen in person, especially because basically all NA went to lower bracket on day one. That lower bracket run to beat Dig twice in the finals is something I will never forget, ever

[@rampage2423]

It was memorable cause the big power bracket run with memorable plays from c9. C9 is a big org aswell and getting/seeing someone win a bracket reset that fashion is insanely difficult. Literally had the most difficult run possible with the most dominant teams in the world waiting for u

[@triangle1332]

NA has no idea what "forcing the play" means. EU is not ball chasing. They are just rotating and forcing the play for their teammates. I think it's because it's a big concept in soccer and not in stuff like Baseball or NA Football... Ball chasers result in double commits and even triple commits. They exist everywhere outside of the pro scene and live in the ranked lobbies.

[@Jewao]

100% agree, NA lacks the understanding of the game EU have, the cohesiveness of teams isn’t even comparable and why NA is struggling heavily

[@swup9851]

I agree for the most part; however, disagree for a few teams. SSG, Complexity, and G2 are 3 teams in NA that I've seen "force the play" in their playstyle. I think their are just some other aspects of NA 3s that make them look as bad as they do (except complexity).

38:00 In a lot of other competitive games NA pros tend to scrim a lot more, as they should. In almost all games that have a master/challenger rank theres a large difference in skill between NA and EU (for pro scene it varies per game). EU high level ranked is just always more competitive. So NA pros only option is to play a lot of scrims against eachother to get better, but the problem is you get stuck in a strategy bubble due to playing a limited amount of people.

[@floofeey9298]

man rocket league esports feels like it's at one of its greatest moments at the moment. NA just needs to improve for the skill to be at an all time highest. Even being from NA, I love that EU is a superpower and I'm a fan of many EU teams. I don't think it's a bad thing for NA since after worlds there will be lots of drama and roster swaps to make the off-season more interesting

NRG peaked many seasons ago. Irrelevant since 2021. This is a LONG overdue change. In NA, it seems way more fans get obsessed over rosters than they do about results. For such a long time, Vitality failed to live up to its previous record, but the RL fanbase kept loving a losing team composition. I'm glad to see NRG choosing fact over emotions, and realize their roster was ultimately harming NA RL morale. I think EU will always be the stronger region due to their love of football/soccer that just doesn't exist in NA. As a former professional Forza competitive gamer, I always felt little support from NA, due to the real life sport of road racing being infinitely more popularity in Europe than in the US, where drag racing, drifting, and oval racing are much more supported than road racing.

weakest take in the world. Pro players are so far ahead of the curve that playing ranked basically hurts their skill more than it helps cause it enforces bad behavior like adapting to bad teammates or expecting a miss from an opponent. There is a reason why you don't see that many pros in top 100 ranked. If they actually grinded ranked the leaderboard would be full of pros which is definitely not the case.
