Tips From PRO Players To Become A Better 1's Player In Rocket League

[@Thanovic]

Massive thank you to the guys involved! Make sure to check out their social media to watch and learn from some of the best! If you wanna watch someone who is not the best, I gotchu... twitch.tv/thanovic Currently streaming every day and my schedule will be on my Twitch page!

[@Thanovic]

Honestly unsure man, maybe he just needs to grind 1s more and really dedicate to it as a gamemode. It might be because he knows the way you play and counters it instead of playing against new opponents each game

[@joaorafaeloliveira1781]

​@Euler's Identity 1s is a very honest game mode, if he is stuck in D1, he is playing at D1 level. Since he seems to be way better mechanically and in game sense than his opponents, I think he is just tilting. maybe he loses his calm when he get scored by a slower player or get really nervous when hit Div. IV and can't perform properly. In a friendly environment he is relaxed and can perform at his best. The best way to verify it is to watch a demo of him playing a game against you and after that watch the demo of a ranked game that he losed.

[@maxd1744]

@@joaorafaeloliveira1781 or it's bs

[@guitair5870]

@Euler's Identity maybe its his mindset. If I was playing someone I know then I would play differently. Also, what is you and your c2/d3 friend's 2s and 3s ranks? Because if your plat3 friend is a higher rank in those gamemodes, he may feel that he should win, so he does. It's all about the mindset for me, but that's just a theory

Try to keep possession as much as possible (rolling it back etc.), Fake/early challenges, Dont go for too risky plays. -What drills or training did you use to improve? Just hop in ranked and focus on a specific mechanic. -Shooting pack: 5A61-5289-FD96-5884 -Powerslide recovery

Was here in silver 3 first time, now that I'm plat, I'm willing to listen to the advice of some pros

[@nivshitrit248]

Not a pro, but a gc in 1's I think the biggest and most common mistake I see in my opponents is playing more aggressively when they start losing It works in 2's, it works in 3's, but in 1's it works the opposite way It's very easy to read them, and usually it all goes downhill for my opponent from there

[@alalala100]

One of the best tutorials/tips videos I've seen! Great work man Maybe consider also doing the same concept with 2v2s? Might be interesting as well

[@Thanovic]

Potentially doing 2s at some point!

[@IAmzColbz]

Honestly i could listen to these pros go on about 1s for hours, 40 minutes just doesn't do it justice. I'm always trying to improve at 1s in particular (to the point of ignoring the other modes...) and i think i can take the advice of all these guys and really get far, thanks thanovic and anyone else who was in the video who sees this.

[@Thanovic]

Glad the vid can help man!!

[@drewprill5120]

COLBZ this is Druee

[@erkfx4154]

Watched all the way to the end! I’ve put more hours into RL than most of my friends who are C1/C2 while I range from D1-D3. They’re all a lot more aggressive than me, better at dribbling/flicking, more accurate at shooting, and better at reading plays. My main strength is defending because most of my matches my friends or random teammates are often breaking rotation and any time I finally decide to push up, they do too and we get scored on. I NEVER play 1’s, so I’m really hoping it helps me all around as a player. I also need to do more training packs/extra modes maps. I had significant improvements to my game when I would practice for an hour or two every day, but most of the time as soon as I get on, my friends invite me right away and we jump straight into matchmaking. Also, their casual MMR or however that works is way higher than mine, so I usually get annihilated when I join lobbies with them, but at least after those matches I’m quite a bit better than most people my rank. This game has so much to learn and so many ways to improve!

[@elianjoensen2756]

you probably have a major flaw in your game sense where you are very passive and don’t rotate at all, so when you do decide to push up your teammate doesn’t expect it. but this is just a guess. my point is that we usually don’t see our own mistakes.

[@parzival8331]

Just got back into rocket league 3 weeks ago after not playing for two years, I'm gold in 1's thank you very much for the tips and just the chill video. 😊 your my favorite RL youtuber.

[@chicken_poptart]

The tip about having to do all the work yourself in 1s which makes you improve faster, is probably the most convincing point i've heard about 1v1s

[@Peyton_rl]

amazing video. great for just listening to and grinding freeplay

[@monkens5073]

Great vid, Bit of feedback though, I think it would be really useful if you had a summary section though at the end on what the key things were. I.e shooting pack (aim for xyz), staying close in 1s and working on dribbling for example. One thing that I do think would add is explaining what the pros mean by utilising freeplay as well. Keep up the great content though, looking forward to seeing some of your clips and the next 100 hours video!

[@Fuzzy_Steam]

Thanovic, This video was amazing mate, got loads of great advice and 3 unique playstyles / viewpoints. Personally I love the longer videos as they offer a lot more in depth look at the intricacies of higher level play. Hope to see more like this and maybe in the future have a Replay Analysis with one of these top 1s players to get a better idea of the reasoning behind decisions. So rather than "freeplay to improve mechanics" maybe its 10 minutes in freeplay only doing wavedashes coming off a wall to specifically improve recoveries. Or something to that nature. Keep it up! -Fuzzy

[@Thanovic]

Thanks man!!

[@carlovergts02]

I really needed this video. I’m a 1s player but I spent most of my hours in casual. I only just started playing ranked consistently after already wasting 2k hours and it’s been painful, so painful. Never played at such intensity. So hard advice like this is appreciated. One of the things I wish for though is a training partner, someone who also likes 1s and will always go against me all the time.

[@DagarCoH]

I am not very experienced in RL, but I feel that when pros say "be more aggressive" or "challenge more" what they really should say is that you need to learn to make better decisions faster. It does not make sense to challenge in many situations, e.g. when you are lower on boost or the enemy will be at the ball faster. But making the decision not to challenge when you could have gives the impression that you should challenge more, just as making the decision to challenge when you should not have gives the impression of you being too aggressive. It is really mostly about reading the situation better and acting accordingly. Playing risky when your assessment was right is not a thing you should do often.

[@Thanovic]

Being more aggressive doesn't just mean challenging, it's to Do with aggressive positioning as well which puts a lot of pressure on your opponent

[@jedrieke7751]

KingRanny was spot on with how you can improve. I am casually watching your following matches with Joreuz and you set yourself up several times for 45 flicks and did a regular slow flick. I think you would slay with some 45 flicks.

[@mimmkey]

I don't often play ones due to confidence and lack of personal skill. Lol. But after watching the entire video, and the other with OSM I will definitely be looking into it further. What an inspiring lot of content. Much appreciated brother, as this is all about as good as gold. You're the best!! #thanKovic

I really like these kind of helpful and insightful videos about improving and hitting bangers and flicks and air dribbles and training and whatnot. Plus you won't get much advice from top 100 players or pros by searching on the internet. The drills they did, things they focussed on, how long it took for them to improve on that one mechanic and shit. Keep up the good work, you're going great

[@Thanovic]

Thanks man!!! ❤️

[@consistentbug]

If you ever do something like this in the future, I recommend checking out how others in the scene do their interviews. I'm not sure if playing the game while trying to interview the pros was a good choice as you seem a bit distracted. For reference, there is a guy who does interviews with pros across multiple games and he's been doing it for nearly 15 years now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Znycaq2pbtqZmbs. This is an example of one of the interviews. I'm sure you could learn alot by how he sets the questions up. All the best

[@cjuckele2202]

Hey, i know it's a few years old but great vid! I'm new only have 65 hours in the game but almost purely 1v1 and training. Question for you... the training packs recommended are probably very helpful but i find that having the pack only helps so much without guidance on like the rules for the shots, or what it should look like if your doing it right. For example the strength and accuracy pack that's listed. As a gold 2 player i can reset the shot 20 times trying to find the right way to hit the ball but it still may not be doing what it is intended to train. Like i could dribble every one of those shots to the goal but i don't think it's supposed to be dribble training...

[@KevenCMcNulty]

[@elliotkovanda3124]

I was hoping to get some tips on kickoffs from this. As you suggested, winning 1s depends on decent kickoffs. They look so easy when watching pro's but even at Champ 1-2, I struggle to pull off a decent kickoff. Maybe you can do something on that in future? Not necessarily 100-hours of kickoff training but some helpful advice other than 'Go fast. Hit center.' Keep up the good work!

[@pseudonim2048]

@@griffinmcauley6982 Dont give the ball away, if you have no boost just keep the ball close to your car and try to go for 50 or boost. And if the enemy has no boost but keeps driving towards you just get the ball back to your corner and steal every boost on the way. This way he has to go back and you have time to setup flicks etc

[@jeremybergeron3527]

Yo thano, just noticed on your game on Kinseh that you don't always use boost double jump to get in air faster while shadowing defense a shot... I guess since you would be up faster you could take more time to "align" your car with the ball/shot and reduce your chances to miss. Do More on ground, do less and easier on air ✌️ Loved your video, So excited to start again gaming after 1 year break.
