I got trained by a pro Rocket League player for a week...

I am not a good 1v1 player... but I wish I was. So I grabbed ‪@ApparentlyJackRL‬, a professional Rocket League player, and had him teach me the essentials of 1s for a week. ApparentlyJack is one of the best 1v1 players in the world so there's no one better for the job.

I learned more about Rocket League in this week than I have in the past year. Since I have never truly grinded or studied 1v1s, I never dove into the theory of it. It's crazy how much strategy can change in Rocket League just by adjusting the amount of players on the field even when kickoff positions, boost amounts, and arenas all stay exactly the same. I've studied professional 3v3 Rocket League before so I could probably coach myself a decent bit with it, but with 1v1s, a professional coach was so valuable because I didn't have to grind it out and make all of these discoveries for myself. Big thank you to ApparentlyJack for making this video so amazing.

Kinda funny how after Jack taught you all that about your offence and defence, in the game it mostly came down to him just being so consistent. Goes to show just how insane pros really are.

[@joncostello8404]

right Jack's corner shots were just flawless

[@vxrdaunt]

And it shows how important kickoffs are. You can be really good in terms of 1v1 iq, offensive mechanics, defensive positioning, all that stuff but if their kickoff is better than yours you will still struggle

Us normal players listening to wayton say he sucks at 1s yet he's still gc lol

[@Tevan1n]

When you did the second 1v1 against Jack, I feel you need to account for the fact that he's been watching your gameplay, so he knows how you plays and what your weaknesses are, compared to the first 1v1 where he likely didn't know that at first

[@MrPinkDino]

I think he did, he had plenty occasions. they are kinda like community leaders, those people know each other

[@erykbuczek4704]

@@MrPinkDino Kinda knowing each other doesnt equal knowing the playstyle of each other, jack is from europe wayton from na they never really played each other. Also it doesnt really matter if jack knew the playstyle or not (i mean it wouldnt reflect in the score), scrubnoob can eat gc1s like payton 2v1 lmao he literally has a series dedicated to that, those pros are on an another level

[@PhilfyErn]

Good point, I agree.

[@miggy2300]

Really nice to see Wayton smiling at his Improvement, and jack being an actual legend.

[@Zoomjah]

Nice work! Had an insight earlier today before watching this video, and felt like it ties in quite nicely: - Start by focusing on what the opponent can't do, and then how to bait them into an even worse scenario. (especially getting them to waste boost, or fly deeper out of position) - Don't focus on scoring, until you know you have an open net.

[@DC-no3vi]

Incredibly useful video, got so much info out of it! Love your work!

[@vibraniac]

Oh boy time to grind 1s, thanks for all the awesome tips jack and for explaining them all in much further detail Wayton. This was very helpful!

[@TheDevil69270]

Great video ! I have the same problem with my spacing in defense, I think it's mainly when one is not that confortable with their shadow defense, you tend to want to take a wider angle to avoid having to fully defend backwards

[@gabrielreynolds6672]

The real end to this story is that after improving a lot and getting closer to jack he still loses to some trash players in gc1 ranked, for this is the cycle of 1s.

[@Zevil1633]

Can we just appreciate for a second how insane Wayton's editing is and the effort he puts in his videos?

I am so honored Wayton my friend. As always, amazing content.

[@raphahollanda861]

Congrats for the great content every time Wayton. I'm a bachelor on film and work as a director/editor and your videos are always surprisingly well put together. Not that I'm an authority or anything but it takes a creator to know the hard work and talent it takes to make such a consistent great delivery for your audience. Keep it up man!! Also its a pleasent coincidence that you're similar ranked to me and I completely relate to your evolution. I also hate 1s cause I suck at it, I'll give it another shot after this video :)

[@zlotywest860]

I love it. While him watching and teaching you during the game, he also is reading the enemy giving you advices on what the counter is. Need a trainer on my side for a few games haha.

[@FuzionRTC]

Jack is just such a cool dude love the man. Very cool video bro

[@BaconEggsRL]

Key tips: 1. Use figure eight pattern on offense in 1s to break down the opponent's defense (basic ground shot, steal corner boost, regain possession, shoot again, steal corner boost, etc...) 2. Practice dribbling and flicks in freeplay, shot placement with Aim Training steam workshop map 3. Improve awareness on shadow defense, make sure you are close enough to the post and have enough momentum to defend the shot (don't "defend the wall".)

[@sterlingfreeman7260]

[@Christaffo]

Great video! Only note is that Musty often mentions your aha moment in his "1s till I lose" series, so you could've learned this long ago.. although sometimes it just need to be said right and under the correct circumstances, so it is what it is 😄

These tips are fire

[@MrDoggy-fj2mq]

[@wack5876]

About the defending the wall, I learned a trick to help prevent this from happening. When your shadowing, you will probably see the opponent’s goal, so use the opponent’s goal to see where the post is. Then you will know how far away you are from the post. I’m only diamond is 1v1 so it might not be the best strategy but it might help.
