The ONLY Guide You Need to MASTER 2v2 (2024)

This is the only guide you need to understand how to properly play and rank up in 2v2 or 2s (whatever you like to call it) in 2024. I guess you could consider this an advanced rotation guide with a ton of strategy, but these are all of the most important tips about 2v2 that I've condensed into just around 10 minutes from roughly 4000 hours of playing and watching Rocket League at various levels. I would highly watching this video as well when you're done: • 10 ESSENTIAL Rocket Le... because it goes hand in hand with everything I talk about in this one and will allow you to implement these 2v2 tips the best. I hope you enjoy and find these videos useful :D

former top 100 and ssl, great video. What helped me out almost the past decade of playing RL is understanding and having the mentality that it’s never just your teammates fault, if your teammate whiffed an easy save you could go back several plays before that happened to where you could’ve done something different to have prevented your teammate to be in that position. Bronze- GC3 even low mmr SSL , if you put any one of your favorite pro players in one of those lobbies, they would win 99% of the time even with “bad” teammate/s. You can always improve and do something different even if you felt like your teammate/s costed you the game. If you feel like it’s always your teammates fault, you WILL be hardstuck and be very slow at improving. Also you can find replays online of pros playing and watch their POV in any game mode and try your best to replicate and build their habits. if u make it to gc3 , I’ll be there to make sure you don’t get past that. GL and Get good nerds.

[@TuffPlayz]

Ty and I appreciate the insight man, that’s a really good point. Having that mentality is something that’s really helped me, and it’s also made playing the game significantly less tilting

The best tip I have gotten in anything in life even in rocket league is to stay calm. The higher rank you go the more pressure that could put potentially be put on you on defense. And you will definetly run into intense ot or close games. Learning how to control your nerves even a little is huge. Also if you are tilted get off. You won't have fun playing if your angry and the odds of you going on a winstreak tilt qing is extremely low. Also amazing video bro

[@TuffPlayz]

@@realcaca6382 great wisdom ty bro

[@rhysfernando3759]

I’ve been ssl since the rank came out and I think this is a very solid tips video. I agree with nearly everything he said for most players. I want to tell people watching this that if your awareness of the game is not good enough, that will prevent you implementing these tips. I don’t think he explicitly mentioned awareness so I wanted to tell you guys. Make sure your eyes track the other players cars a lot in the game so you know what’s happening. If you don’t know where your teammate is or how the opposing team is positioned it is so hard to implement these tips. So make sure to do that too!

[@jerrykali6773]

W video lets see how many MMR I will gain in a week. Started at 1131 MMR Day 1 MMR: 1131 > 1112 Today was a good day even though I lost MMR. I did great in 1s and even won a 2s tourney. Day 2 MMR: 1112 > 1141 Played with my friend in diamond 2/3 and we won every game we played. Day 3 MMR: 1141 > 1112 I played a lot, like 30 games. 20 of those games where 2v2 and I was pretty even it was just a few games that were bad. Day 4 MMR: 1112 > 1103 Like yesterday I played a lot of games. Sadly today had a terrible start, but I evened it out when I got my diamond 2/3 friend to play and we won most games. Day 5 MMR: 1103 > 1078 Enough is enough. Tomorrow I'm gonna lock in... Day 6 MMR: 1078 > 1054 Tomorrow were getting + 100 MMR minimum. Day 7 MMR: 1054 > 1032 So I learned a lot from your video, but I couldn't translate it to my games. Somehow my 1s became a lot better and I gained about 100 MMR. I think this is my start of my villan arc and I will reach 1300. I will update this comment if anything big happens. About 10 days later I'm back at 1130 MMR looking to go for a new peak (1200+ MMR) and watch this amazing video again.

Something that has helped me is single jumping when you 50/50 or when you catch the ball. It helps take control of it without booming it to the other team. Hard stuck in c2 rn

[@ProminentFox]

Underrated video! I've just noticed a lot of my mistake now. And on my good days, I realise I don't make those mistakes. However, I go into auto pilot after about 7 games. What is the best method to stay focused and to get out of ball chasing mode 😅

[@TuffPlayz]

Honestly what works for me is laying out my thought process as I'm playing (either in my head or out loud when I'm streaming) kind of like what you'll see some other youtubers/pros doing when they record ranked videos, and also making sure you're not sleep deprived or super tired as well. If you start to autopilot after a couple of games as well you could also take a quick break too before queuing again

[@KEKKO_17-RL]

This helped a lot I just hope that my random tm8s see this

[@ElDr_David12]

So first man is attacking but not go straight to the goal, breaking more defense and eventually you’re team will score, and second man is more defensive and supports the first man in the attack

I wish it was more ranked specific. But awesome video

[@megazerorl]

One more point that wasn't directly mentioned, that is quite crucial for the higher level and is what makes higher level players seem more in control of lower level lobbies is what I call (and comm), "Regroup/Regrouping". While the obvious point of when you are last as second man you need to stall for your first man to get back applies to this. This also goes the other way, for example: [the opponents just got both of their corner boosts and are full. You have the ball in their half with control, but you know your teammate flipped back further and is in the opposite corner.] Here is the perfect example of where you need to decide whether: you are capable of stalling the ball for your teammate to come up field with you, you are not capable of stalling thus need to bring the ball back with you or back pass, or neither are applicable and you need to concede possession to favor "regrouping" usually resulting in your teammate challenging first due to positioning. Conceding possession is never the best option here, BUT it is not the worse option. Despite it being your teammates decision to go all the way back for boost (when he could've stayed closer with 3-4 pads) you are still at fault if you rush in and the leave him in a 1v2. While you cannot control your teammates actions you can adapt to them and control the game yourself rather than letting it be out of your control.

[@TuffPlayz]

very good point man, love this my teammate and I were kind of doing this in our GC2 games today without even thinking about it, but this is def something I'll be thinking about more tho because I feel like sometimes I end up making the wrong decision in those situations

very good and condensed content there. I'll definitely share this with my low rank friends ;)

[@shootymcsnipe4947]

My only annoyance really is Team8s that come in for the pass before you actually pass. Like if I'm corner and working it towards crease and they either are being me in the damn corner or they jump for the ball when it's still right in front of me and unscorable from that angle. But then they go flying by. Ball goes to opening in crease but they aren't there and we both scrambling back helplessly as opponents score empty net. But then same player when we are down by 2 goals with 45s left is off getting our back boost in the same situation when now is the time to be riskier. Like what's it matter if we lose by 3 goals instead at this point. It's an L

ive been stuck in c1 for 4 seasons 💀I don't think my mechanics are the problem because i've seen people in c2 with noticably worse mechanics than I do. They're not good mechs but it should be good enough to be get out of c1 I just literally have no brain when it comes to this game to get out of diamond 3 i could literally just ball chase or play extremely passive and boom the ball IDK how to get out of this what's the most essential thing to get out of c1

[@TuffPlayz]

I genuinely believe the tips from this video plus the one linked in the pinned comment are enough to get you out of c1. You just have to be thinking about those things a bit more actively at first in your games rather than auto piloting. If you’re struggling with using the tips consistently, the best advice I can give is save your replays and focus in on how you’re playing 1st man and 2nd man. You’ll def notice a pattern with mistakes you’re making, and you can then focus on those mistakes in game until you eventually don’t have to think about it anymore, and it becomes 2nd nature

[@Dærkzy]

@@TuffPlayzwould you say that playing 1’s is also something that would help me get better and rank up? I’m thinking I might start playing 1’s more

[@TuffPlayz]

@@Dærkzy I would say so because 1s definitely helps with challenges, defense, and mechs if you decide to focus on certain mechs (even something as simple as flicks). I wouldn't only grind 1s tho because you can build some bad habits that could hurt in 2s games, which is what happened to me for a little bit. A good balance of 1s and 2s will def help

[@galaxygiggles8135]

I am stuck in d3 and while I’m demoing the defence or giving an open net, my tm8 is sitting on back boost from 10 seconds ☠️

[@TuffPlayz]

Happens in diamond, but if it's happening multiple times during the course of a match then that's where it helps to be good at solo play. As I mentioned, focus on getting the ball around their 1st man or force the 1st man into an overcommit while still keeping possession and then that's a free 1v1. Scoring consistently in the 1v1 is gonna be a lot easier if you've played a lot of 1v1 before or you utilize air dribble bumps, low 50s, or accurate and powerful flicks.

[@hiddensynin]

Without being as mechanical as a diamond 3 using these as a plat 3 can i finally rank up with these?

[@TuffPlayz]

Yessir. For some ppl it clicked right away though, while for others it didn't. It may take time, but looking at some of your replays and analyzing how you play as 1st man for a game and same thing as 2nd man for another game can help you consistently make the right decisions in your games much quicker

[@hiddensynin]

@@TuffPlayz ok thankss tuff

[@_Kakoosh]

I’m C3-GC1. How do you play with someone who doesn’t rotate out ever, overcommits with 0 boost, and keeps leaving you in 2v1 situations? Or with someone who just refuses to play defense and just waits upfield cherry picking?

[@TuffPlayz]

@@_Kakoosh Imo the key is to play closer to them. If they’re always playing upfield then you gotta still play behind them but ensure there’s not a big enough gap between you and the play to where your opponents will always have full control in the 2v1. This might force them to boom the ball into your half more instead of controlling, which could give you free possessions if you expect the boom. You may have to try and be the team that keeps the ball on the opponent half for most of the game even if it means there’s a higher chance for the other team to get counter attacks. Just make sure you aren’t overcommitting as well. The constant pressure could be another reason for the opponents to boom the ball away. If someone’s just cherry picking all you can do is boom the ball upfield any chance you get, but if their awareness is so bad to where they never get back on defense, it’s gonna be very hard to win the game. Your defense, especially your clears, will have to be very elite.

[@_Kakoosh]

@@TuffPlayz I don’t get teammates like that often but I find it near impossible to win when I do. I usually play nervous or passive to try and compensate by keeping distance, but staying closer might work better. Just feels dangerous sometimes when they could turn back at any second. I’ll try that though thanks

[@TuffPlayz]

@@_Kakoosh np hopefully that works for you, but yeah it's def a lot harder to win with players like that for me as well

Third, I am by no means saying I am a pro coach, but there are pro coaches that have never been SSL before and are usually GC2. You can still have a bunch of knowledge on the game from studying tons of high level content, while not hard grinding ranked everyday at the same time. Hope this helps.
