ApparentlyJack is underrated. He was both coaching and playing for Dignitas. They are definitely a solid team to watch out for this next stage. Also its so fun watching BDS play when they turn up. I love how Marc_by_8 is tactically aggressive making people play against the 4th man. If your wondering the 4th man is where players are playing against themselves because Marc doesnt go for certain things but they are expecting him to be there so they outplay themselves. I was also amazed by OCE's performance this LAN. It was the first LAN where NA and EU had to take the region seriously.

Back when RLCS was in its early stages, the plays were slow and many mistakes were made very easily. Now competitive rocket league has become even more energetic with lightning pass plays and cracked goals. The skill gap between top 20 and 1 in this video is not at all big. All of these players are crazy good and they’re not stopping anytime soon. In my eyes the best player would be the one who can surpass the limits of Rocket League the farthest, and the limit is almost at its breaking point. Until then will we truly know who is the best player to have ever played the game.

[@slim7406]

Agree with everything you stated besides saying RL is almost at its breaking point. It's not even close. You cannot perfect a physics engine. At the same time there are new mechanics coming about that will change the game forever, and these dynamic plays will stand but we'll see a mix in of premeditated plays much like we do in modern Hockey.
