[@dujoboi]

you should have a segment on rlcs preshow cuz this is by far the most in depth and proffesional analysis ever in rocket league. it truly shows how complex rocket league really is

[@sawcleavertransformationat4728]

+1

[@qDxrk]

True

[@Etherealmike06]

This is the first video I've ever seen from you What an amazing first impression Very analytical and fun to watch Firstkiller in my opinion is the most valuable player in all of rocket League

[@misachan1]

imo its vatira

[@OfficialBoVice]

@@misachan1not anymore. Vati couldn’t even get his team to the Major. Perhaps the most stacked team in all of RL. And vati just got absolutely obliterated by Atow in a 1v1 recently. He’s regressing

[@blitzrc3884]

The most valuable player overall was JSTN

[@blitzrc3884]

But current valuable player is prob Drali he’s insane this season he finally shined for bds or maybe beast mode or daniel they have been poping off

[@kanyondickinson5574]

Drali has made so many mistakes this season tho he's clearly the weak link on his team. He's nowhere near the best player in the world ​@blitzrc3884

[@GatterSzn]

One of my favorite players of all time. Love the way he plays man. Will you guys make a video on atomic or beastmode anytime soon? I feel like those 2 are the best in Na rn .

[@pinoyambu]

I don't comment much but I just wanted to say to keep up the good work! Very glad to have discovered your content; very underrated channel!

[@williamcappello6373]

Keep pumping out videos of this quality and your channel will blow up man. People recognize and appreciate it.

[@Antwoni]

This was probably the most enjoyable video i've ever watched of RL

[@eros3856]

This is one of the most impressively in depth and beautiful breakdowns of how a player moves.

[@platymusPrime]

Man i absolutely love your videos, incredible analysis and insight into the minds and mechanics of each player you've done a video on. I can't even imagine how much time it must take to capture footage from specific plays to demonstrate the points you're making. Most of the examples don't even involve a goal or save, so you can't even use the replay markers to jump around. So you must just be watching hours of game play just to scout specific moments for analysis, crazy dedication. Don't get me wrong, I'll watch RLCS for hours, but watching with that kind of intent for analysis is draining

[@bennettstruttman4357]

This is a brilliant video. It's baffling that this channel isn't bigger.

[@arthur-sq3ng]

love your channel, it's the only rl related that i keep the notifications on. extremely well produced videos with in-depth information that helps us clearly differentiate the play styles of each player and learn the intricacies that make them so good. nobody is doing this type of content in rl with this level of quality other than you, keep it up!

[@amirb2753]

The vibes on this video is unexplainable. Another question, do you know the creator of the beat personally? I want to use the beat for my background music for my videos and couldn't find a longer version.

[@arnoudh6203]

Great video, love the nuance

[@insignificant5401]

I would love to see a breakdown of BDS playstyle, and how they're possibly the best offense when they're at their peak

[@angelomarino6374]

Bro is the Thinking Basketball of Rocket League

[@championinsights3925]

Wonderful video, I wonder though if or how first killers playstyle has changed throughout his career, from early days like rogue, to faze and now geng, perhaps showing coaching differences, and how he's able to adapt to the players around him.

[@Khanismechy]

Yeah, he was more of a “showboat” in rogue and early faze going for crazy solo plays or random double/triple resets, but he’s changed that now

[@Jrppegg]

Amazing video! I don’t even want to know how long it took to find good examples, get the replays, set them up, record them and voice over them

[@carsonbeach6227]

great video, love the content from your channel

[@Shsishsgsk]

Would like to see FK pop off in the London major.

[@Perfumery_by_Sabin]

First killer sounds like the player I TRY TO BE

[@JerryDBfromWakfu]

Good video!

[@Swaeshy]

these vids are so good bro

[@SpookLuke]

fantastic analysis

[@zeeno3496]

lovely video

[@snackzlol]

when you brought up how fk has a tendency to go for over ambitious plays i just couldn’t help but feel players do that in every game/sport. it’s what also makes for historic moments in certain situations. yea fk prob shouldn’t be prejumping off the ceiling at the beginning of an ot lmao but i don’t think that’s something a professional can necessarily correct. i believe all players do it in their respective field in some way or another. being ambitious for zen is triple resetting in an 11 min overtime where as a baseball player could try and steal home in the 11th inning or somebody cutting up in traffic tries jumping 3 lanes like lmao it’s just how people are. and same goes for smaller plays for certain players who view their fk prejump as like a risky bump etc. it could be considered a fault going for shit like that but at the same time if you’re feeling something sometimes you just go for it.

[@jakeziegler-h9x]

sick video man

[@LD-nq3cc]

YES YOURE BACK LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[@pyeman7755]

God I love these videos

[@aidenguo5580]

Someone show this to Rolldizz please.

[@2s2bs]

LMAOOOOOO

[@tcristino501]

love these vids

[@amingagyi4577]

finally someone respecting fk for being the best na player of all time

[@vincent9784]

Monkey Moon next !

[@iShowMea1t]

what does under deress means?

[@kharri9]

Everyone like this video and subscribe to this man for making this great video

[@liquidmoo619]

W vid

[@aaronpreddy35]

First would do better to drop Chronic & get someone like Retals

[@FlipReset]

This video would vaporize any player from 5 years ago

[@2s2bs]

Great video and again I will say, glad to have found this channel!

[@crzyfuture]

Dude this video is so good. How have I not seen this channel yet 😊

[@GKheartsMiis]

Keepin’ it 100 man, but like…. having this homie be STELLAR on a team like GenG (My #1 favorite team to watch rn with ApparentlyJack, Chronic, Coach Chrome, etc) is SOOOOO very special to see! I’m also excited to see how he performs next week (June 20th-23rd) for RLCS London & going forward. Courageous talent he has. 🥰🤩💯❤️‍🔥

[@TriToothbrush]

Now this is analysis, not the stupid hollywood sports movie syndrome anecdotal shit on r/rlesports. I cant believe how many "fk is mechanical so he must be a selfish non team-based player" ahh takes on there in big 2024.

[@nebulastarmanvods79]

just wait til he hears about what coms are

[@MrBubbyG_Official]

Lol

[@turkeyman631]

I watch things like this and it makes me want to play so bad. Then I play and I'm done after one game. Ya really need friends to grind this game out if you're not very skilled lol.

[@Phantom-R-E-D]

Amazing video, really in-depth and knowledgeable to watch 🔥

[@Khanismechy]

He’s backkkkkk, I was ur 8th subscriber:)

[@levi-oy6ym]

Plot twist.. he then go on to criticize him for the wiff vs kcorp in the final 😂

[@as.017]

Beastmode or MonkeyMoon please and thank you

[@philliporsit]

Been waiting for a video like this

[@MoppedVAL]

The glaze is unreal ☠️☠️

[@oxobiexo7145]

Great video. Just wow

[@athode7103]

Fk is such an amazing player and he could be the best in the world if he could learn to play a little more selfless

[@Steamrawrler]

That can be said about a lot of players. Even Zen lately when his team wasn't playing well he was trying to do everything. Dan did on SSG towards the end at Lan. When I see a player doing that, I assume the trust is gone and a roster change is soon. I swear FK's past people hold it against him way more than anyone else.

[@kylau8666]

Firstkiller is much more selfless on geng

[@CrimVulgar]

@@Steamrawrler I think it's a bit more reasonable beacuse FK's past was a series of rosters where he had the same issues, overplaying and distrusting teammates to the point that it made the team worse - I do think he's got something good going on GenG though, I'd really like to like him because he's great to watch at his best.

[@saelumnosekai]

This video should make a big impact on people's opinion on FK and showing how good and useful he can be and finally calm down his haters !

[@Lyrics78.2]

Secondreviver😅

[@WodyWebb]

I'd like to see a breakdown of whole team performances, ie what's holding GenG back from LAN wins, the shortcoming that led to Kcorp getting knocked out early, etc. I think Thinking Basketball, or some other basketball channel does a series like that. I love these player specific documentary series too though!

[@日本語-y2q]

this is siiick

[@tim3L3ss]

earned my sub. great in depth analysis of rocket league that I don't hear elsewhere. as a current D2, it helps me see the next level details that I would need to learn to go champ and GC, thank you!

[@MitsuoRLCoach]

Couldn't agree more, a very bright and clever player in his fundamentals; which ultimately will set apart the great pro players from the average pro player. FK is definitely in my RL top 5 most gifted individual players list.

[@Nem_RL]

i have a similar playstyle as Firstkiller, i sit around gc1-gc2, i put more into the predictions on what people are goingg to do, But i do make more mistakes, and im not mechanical at all, so i try to keep it simple, big hits to tm8s and small hits to keep a flow and try make a play, boost plays are alot more important that people realise, leaving that 1 or 2 pads for a tm8 with 0 boost when ur sitting at 20-30, Using ur tm8s is another thing, im better on defence than attack, so i tend to try push my tm8s to attack with plays that i make, leaving me as last man,

[@Nem_RL]

For me, a well placed hard hit in the top bag is a more viable option than a flip reset, Double,

[@MrBubbyG_Official]

​wow next up rlcs finals @NemsIs-rl9zv

[@Nem_RL]

@@MrBubbyG_Official i cant tell if your being sarcastic or not, Either way cheers, RLCS is a pipe dream, even for people who are in the top 1% of players, Its not a easy thing, pushing to RLCS from even gc3 is months and months of constant grinding,

[@Nem_RL]

Someone of us dont have time anymore, i just play to keep my rank

[@TizzTv]

wow I never noticed the depth of some of these plays. can really help me in my own game

[@FCDFansChannel]

Love this.

[@kylau8666]

Good video give me another one!

[@alexrigano8339]

Return of the goat
