Using GRAND CHAMP Game Sense In DIAMOND Lobbies... ROCKET LEAGUE | #3

[@SpookLuke]

IMPORTANT NOTE: All players in this lobby VOLUNTEERED to be smurfed on. This is a private lobby (not ranked!) and all players are students from our coaching partner, the grand champ bootcamp. Just want to make that clear (if you're new here). Thanks for watching (:

[@nferrucci0587]

I appreciate this note a lot. It does the game a disservice knowing that so many content creators are in actual ranked lobbies smurfing, even though they mostly mean well and want to help people get better. So thank you for being mindful of that! I think it could even help promote the GCBC by putting a disclaimer at the beginning of these videos to let us know the players are volunteers and that if we join the GCBC we might have a chance to play with you in a similar video. Thanks Luke!

[@OG3Maliii]

I would assume these guys would be ok with it because it’s your program or you partnered

[@MechaStorm7]

I honestly like this educational format as it is. It's well edited and pretty easy to rewatch at any later time.

[@StarKelp]

Demoo

[@luiss.2203]

I love it that you dont only comment your play but also where the other players should be and what to do👍

[@daylen577]

Analysis like this is so much more helpful to me than individual tutorials. I'm still in the ranks where game sense and being in the right place at the right time is more important than grinding mechs, and watching videos like this has made me improve significantly faster than the hours I wasted trying to learn to dribble or wave dash.

[@mike-yd5fv]

Luke, for ranking up; this is the best series ever!! I really want more of it to teach us game sense. I appreciate the effort you put into this series.

[@hasantekin7823]

This was really good. I liked how you showed short clips from other games as an opposite example. I'd love to see Flakes in this channel to do analysis together.

[@roymiller8905]

Love the analysis from an advanced player. I do a lot of the stuff you point out at the lower ranks. Hopefully, you’ll do more of these to help an old guy like me get better. 🙂👍

[@HavocMusic1759]

Spooke, a message from me to you. I used to *HATE* your content. And for good reason, it confused my lower ranked friends, contradicted itself and basic information essentially available for anyone. Not to be rude, but you not only had a ego, you didn't back it up well. Recently, you've been maturing, correcting old information, being a better and more clear coach, and actually providing useful information. You've finally come to your senses, and now you are creating the best content you have ever made. It's unfortunate with your current health problems and just how life is, you won't be making content like this for much longer, but we all appreciate how hard you've been working for us, and how now finally, you are truly one of the best educational Rocket League youtubers on the site.

[@nickw7235]

This is perfect. If you did more videos like this you’d ad years to your content creating! I’ll watch every one. A lot of us hard stuck diamonds lack theory/ strategy.

[@F4ir8or]

I really like this type of format. So much useful information. Please keep 'em coming 😅

[@andyxprophet]

Last clip where you critique him booming it from his side... To be fair, in Diamond, most people don't have the recovery you do to get back and booming it often leads to a goal when the other team is pushed up. Some of your analysis works because you trust your mechanics to get you back in situations, whereas Diamonds are way more inconsistent. The same exact thing happens in regular soccer where a player isn't confident in their dribbling so they just boom it away despite having no pressure on them. I call it hot potato.

[@user-uo6ov2yi7e]

It's easy for people like this to forget the actual skill level of who he is talking to. When Plats can't rely on teammates, the positioning doesn't really matter. Plats hardly have control and the mechanics they do have are far from consistent. Trying to read the other team is hard when you don't know if they will even hit the ball. Constantly "faking" lol.

[@BradathyPeterson-bb2ry]

Nah this is actually amazing its so nice to just watch your movements and learn

[@rypatter]

This format is awesome .... love the positioning key call outs!

[@korkoo1]

Awesome stuff, love the format! Its like having a personal coaching session, doesn't hurt that im diamond... so many situations that are similar to what happens in almost every game. =)

[@aaronwyatt7907]

Hey bro just wanna say you are amazing g all your tips are great and you have helped me so much

[@scottmitchell9901]

This is something I've needed for so long. Positioning. Saw many mistakes I do. W video.

[@wtftequila2417]

Your gameplay analysis is really helpful and nicely paced. As a Gold it gives me info I have not even considered before so big thank you

[@Loodasavage00412]

I love that style. It was well explained, edited, and had great tips. I love that you made mistakes, so there was more to learn in the video. Could you try to make this type of video in High C2 please?

[@MartianMoon]

This was a great vid & review - pace & info was perfect

[@SpookLuke]

ty!

[@tastyfam6992]

This is what I've been looking for to try to improve my game sense, so tysm

[@VGreggUndercover]

Now this is quality content I needed

[@makavelismith]

your alanysis is excellent. Im a long time player of the game but I've stagnated in diamond. It's good to reinforce ideas and learn other things.

[@Chadh90]

I enjoyed how harsh you were on calling out your mistakes. Its always good to be your own worst critic.

[@chadstruzynski]

I love this type of analysis. I would watch loads of these

[@schmeed4944]

Luke we NEED more of these!!

[@johndoe-pe4qt]

nice vid luke, will be playing ball side on offense now😂😂

This series is fire as a returning Diamond trying to get back into the groove.

hi luke i love your videos i even replicated your preset keep up the great content!❤

best edusmurf vid so far, pace was good but could be just a bit slower since this was a lot of info

These videos are awesome Dude

[@viralplays6218]

i love these videos they are very helpful

[@Theodore_Rizzovelt25]

Even as a peak c2 player this is still veeeery usefull

[@yvkiza]

I gotta be more aware of those 2v1 scenarios and push up, that is definitely something I picked up on in this video

[@Jayydeen]

This video was very helpful, thanks u luke.

[@The_True_Itzkrazy]

AMAAAAZING PACE

[@nodiern08]

no one is making those air dribble shots in plat lol

[@squidwithsuperpowers6761]

It's not the actual air dribble that they can't do, the setup was the difficult part

[@nodiern08]

I agree. I'm forever stuck in diamond rank and i can barely hit air dribbles unless the set up is perfect. Which is rare.@@squidwithsuperpowers6761

[@robloxteachingchannel.1373]

most of every play can do a 4 touch or over all air roll airdribble including me so speak for youself

[@metamani7513]

@@robloxteachingchannel.1373still plat tho

[@Sinzao]

more content like this!😍

[@A.J.S.W.17]

Anyone got tips for a plat who is highly inconsistent?( I'm awful in the air and okay with the ball on the wall just struggle when its in the corner and mostly play the ground doing pass plays and solo dribble plays)One game I can carry and predict most thinks just decent to good gameplay but the next I struggle to even get possesion of the ball and become El Potato :(

[@justinyoung3820]

rotate well, don’t chase past half court if your teammate has possession, when rostering back rotate opposite side of the ball and defend the nets goal post from the opposite side of the ball as well. Really should never defend inside the net. Always try and be left or right goal post

[@Fennekin_6]

I recommend doing some training packs to help with your aerials. Even just the preset "All Star Aerial" training pack should help. Also, consider watching some of Spook Luke's or Wayton Pilkin's videos on how to aerial. If you put in the training time, you will see the results. Hope this helps!

[@Cocokingable1]

I havent been this frustrated trying to play a comp game in years, getting GE in old CS:GO was gravy, 100hrs in to RL and still only Gold II Div III in 2v2 and 1v1. Doesnt help i play with plats most the time so trying to stay away from all the bad habits i see in those games.

[@ChrisTopher-ke4sd]

Perfect Series ! Please more of this ! Learn a lot from this Videos

[@user-wd1mp9kz1d]

First, ty luke, u make my day!

[@ldevilfire7358]

I think it is going at a perfect pace

[@FunnyVideos17805]

I’m a diamond in 2’s but whenever I play with my friend we beat s12 champs and sometimes gc’s and beat them by just playing smart like you’re saying but when we play ranked it’s off and on it’s weird but this help’s definitely

[@fortif.yy.]

Ngl I’m gc1 gc2 in 2s and this does help the slightest in the corners n stuff so thanks for letting me know even tho I should know this 😅

[@onofresilva9325]

Luke is angry, I mean Tnap16 still learning, calm down a bit

[@stinkwrinkle8219]

I love this

[@SupperSoup]

Great Video thanks

[@vachaman]

more of these!!!

[@Nietha]

Any GC can carry a Plat in 2s versus two Diamonds. What would be more useful is seeing a Champ try to carry his Diamond teammate in the high Diamond lobby. like what are the small slightly better decisions and that the Champ is making versus the Diamonds, that'll help the Diamonds get better.

[@briandavidofficial]

As a diamond, this is helpful

It will be fun video if you play in SSL/pro players game and analyse if afterwards (maybe with someone from the SSL team).

[@kintra31]

Great video

[@skitzosmurf4324]

I just need to practice shadow defense n patience. I had a lobby say they were reporting me first game after watching your shadow defense video lol Edit: your best videos are made with a live audience in my opinion. They ask the questions I would have the majority of the time

[@mind_of_dro]

my friends don't listen to me when I say punting away the ball is the worst way to create offense. then they act some type of way when I make controlled touches on the ball (as in not punting it away) like dawg that is why y'all are still plat 😭

[@justinyoung3820]

This is why I’m still plat lol. I do catch myself smashing the ball away on clears that I could just control with no pressure lol. Something to work on now for sure.

[@mind_of_dro]

@@justinyoung3820 definitely. like imagine in American Football you finally get possession and then you punt on the very first play 💀

[@mind_of_dro]

@@justinyoung3820 despite me knowing the basics of ball control I'm still plat also 😭 I'm horrendously slow for diamond ranks

[@robloxteachingchannel.1373]

guys think about this this is a private lobby with people who are being coached i would like luke to make the same video but with diamonds and plats who have not been coached

[@Windows10UltraX]

Anyone else having a hard time getting out of right now? It feels like c2 is the new gc lol

[@Windows10UltraX]

getting out of c2*

Could you include what commons rotation mistakes also happen when highlighting what your opponents or teammates did

[@anonymousjuj1112]

Super good pace i got everything and didnt feel like i was lost

[@trippyp5817]

I liked it

[@Noah.1271]

Woooooo

[@punk4rockorz]

Good video. Maybe you are slightly too mechanical on some situations and too panicky in other but it's very educational also analysing the teammate and opponents. The problem I have a lot is that my teammate is too offensive and whenever I make the 'mistake' of pushing up or going for a ball, like twice In a game and the ball falls wrong for me or I get beat and my teammate is like always behind the ball. When you are on the ball they are always like right behind you or are pushing up behind the ball. What to do with teammates like that?

[@scottmcinerney9817]

Good shit

[@DunkDoge]

First comment. Btw how do u choose the people u Smurf with ?

[@helfieldgaming117]

They're in the GCB coaching program.

[@ApolloXGamings]

w video bro

[@OG3Maliii]

Are you telling these guys that your in their game?? I feel like they are giving you a lot of “respect”. Im C1-C2 (also mainly 3s) but you don’t get a lot of time in the corners. Like I see you grabbing boost and waiting for it to come down. I can sometimes do that but how to I play corners with people ape ing me?

[@Schirado]

Can we see videos like this for 1v1s?

[@Vade4545]

Just when i was thinking about being on the grand champ bootcamp, they discriminate against people who are too broke for a pc ;-;

[@aidenholtzhausen2938]

[@freddiejames878]

Too bad this isn't what diamond actually looks like right now. I'm stuck D2 currently. almost every game look like this: I have a green champ tournament winner tag, opponents both have GC tags, and my teammate has a plat tournament winner tag. Tags don't mean everything but it's a good indicator of where they were a few season ago and it's just disheartening going from C2 to D2 in two seasons and somehow still getting crushed by people who were GC when I was at my all-time peak rank.

[@BurgoYT]

Yeah bro I was C2 last season now I’m struggling in C1, it seems everyone I play was C3/GC recently and it’s just rough

[@markostanusic3920]

mannn i wish i had a pc i cant do nothing without it i cant joind dis boot camp what ever and plus no workshop maps now that sucks

[@alekmaz7885]

It's easy for a GC to carry against diamond opponents. Take a challenge and play against GC opponents and a plat/diamond teammate.

[@deralex81]

Today i learned my positioning is not optimal and i boom too much. C1 right now. Who would have thought?

[@probmfk]

your backboard defense would be good in champ let alone whatever rank this is. even low champs don't defend like your "plat" defense

[@willadams5262]

Luke i'm on nintendo and i'm diamond, but i don't know how to improve, can you make a video on this please?

[@willadams5262]

Also Do you know a free coach
