The story of how the Kings of RLCS got dethroned...

This is the story of how Team BDS had one of the most dominant seasons in RLCS history and still lost the championship. Many people in Europe and in North America as well consider or considered them to be the best team in the world. This is their story so far.

Team BDS could be the best Rocket League team in the world. Based on their performance within their own region, they are undoubted the best team in Europe. The only question is how they would perform in a LAN environment. NONE of the players on BDS have ANY experience competing at a LAN, and with the pressure of a screaming crowd and being in person with your teammates, opponents, and peers, you never know how that will effect a team until you actually see them compete during all of it. This is why many other people consider NRG to be the best in the world because all 3 of their players already have a TON of experience in LAN competitions and are already known to compete just as good, if not better at them.

[@pabloruedaarzoz8065]

Great video, you explained really well why BDS was so amazing, and how incredible was for Vitality to be the one not to crumble under the preassure, when BDS had won 15 out of 15 grand finals. BDS is trully the most dominant team at a regional level we have ever seen, and with that win, Kaydop has reclaimed his GOAT status for me. 2 small things: the first F3 also dominated the world, but there where no LANs, it was all online. Dig is not the only team in rocket league history to be considered the best in the world, or top 2, for almost a year. And Dig had internal issues before the finals began, Kaydop wanted to go before that double 4-1. Even if we like to think that C9 completely ended the dinasty, in truth they where already finished

[@PrimusTForcE]

I just wanted to thank you Wayton, not sure you're gonna read this. I literally started playing rocket league just a month ago. But just from watching most of your key videos, I literally got placed plat first, and then after 2.5 weeks of more playing, I just hit Diamond today. I have practically 0 mechanics, I hit the ball consistently, but not consistently accurately/powerful (and my wall shots do not exist). But yet just purely with my positioning and rotating properly, i somehow managed to win always more games than I lost, even though I am mechanically mostly behind others. But just my positioning alone and your video on backpost defending brought me to diamond in my opinion. So with just around 80 hours I hit that, because of the short cut you gave me, so thank you. But anything from this point on is definitely going to head in the hundreds/thousands of hours. I will probably be Diamond for quite a while now, but Im stoked to have hit it in my very first season :) Thank you again, your videos are incredible and you have a very concise mind and the way you explain things.
