Warmed Up Vs Cold Rocket League Players... should you even warm up?

Join BUFF for Free! bit.ly/Buff_Striped
Should you even bother warming up in Rocket League? We're about to find out through a crazy VS challenge between SSLs, Champs, and Plats. I decided to see who's better by facing warmed up players against a team that hasn't played Rocket League all day.

One thing i can say from experience is: when you warm up before games and start playing, you play decent and after that, you become warmer and better. then the more you play, you start losing composure and end up playing worse cuz your brain is going autopilot mode.

There is a difference between warming up and playing long. Some of the "warm" players said they were playing for 2+ hours before this, their focus is going to be much lower than the fresh "cold" player coming into the game. I like your videos, but this experiment wasn't thought out enough I think.

[@Mxrcel.]

The best way to warm up play one or two ranks above you, so look for a champ or grand champ and play with them tournement, causal or rank, after a few matches you should get better and have a nice "warmup", at me it helped I was playing in gc as a Diamond, I was playing then with a gc in Diamond, but he was only back for clears and saves the rest I did, so Diamond 3 to Champ 1, I was able to carry all games more then a half solo, since Champ 2-3 there I struggled and had to play in team back then :D So what I wanna say you learn out of that, and rank up. Too let your Replay analyize by a GC-SSL , they see mistakes you wouldn't have recognize if you watch many High Level Gameplay ;)

[@juggle5092]

After all the mechanic challenges aren’t they warmed up for the 2v2 Matches?

[@cyndercosmosTTV]

No they wouldn't be because there was no opposing challenge to think about and calculate. so they just warm up mechs and not game sense or decisions for potential threats to their ability.

My first games on are usually my best because i play extra extra cautious. Not challenging unless absolutely needed.

As a Rocket league player who just recently started playing RL after 5 months and doing horribly, I'd say warming up doesn't really matter unless it's like a practice match against someone, because I've been playing for a few days and have not done well.

I often do find myself doing better playing cold in multiple different games like Cod, Pubg, RL, etc . If you're half decent at the game, it's mostly muscle memory so I think when it's fresh in your mind, that's when you do best and you kinda "wear those muscles down" after so long causing u to get worse and worse over time

Sometimes i play better before warming up. but mostly a short warmup works best for me. some times an hour warmup is needed but less common. and then there is the the few games im peaking before my concentration drops like a rock and i play like shit for hours until i regain some control again where it stays level until i literally have to sleep.

[@SoulxExile]

Luv you ❤️

[@nickd7146]

Awesome video, doesn't test your concept out at all though. You should have the same players try these challenges cold, warmed up (a few games played), and then really warmed up (playing for hours). Comparing different players trying things cold and warmed up, just tests if that cold players vs a different warm player is better. Doesn't answer the question of whether warming up has an impact on performance. fun video!

You should take 2 SSL’s and tell one you’ll give him money for each win he gets, and the other that you’ll give him money for each lose he gets. So one tries to throw while the other try hards. However, if the throwing SSL gets caught throwing, then he doesn’t win the cash prize
