Why You Won't Make It As A Pro Rocket League Player..

[@Aksm91ManNavar]

Everytime I watch RLCS, everyone acts like they dont have teammates and are playing a 3v1

[@tjones1710]

Appreciate the vid man. Hopefully this inspires someone out there and helps them on their journey 😎

[@ShadowReformed]

ay that's the hope

@@ShadowReformed You have to be willing to fail despite dedicating 12+ hours a day, before you even think about it, especially if ur starting late. That's why most don't start. For me, worst case scenrio I'll spend a decade or so living inside this game with no results, but i'd rather do that than live a normal life. Only problem is i'm stuck in university and time's running out, capped at 2-4 hrs instead of 12+, and am still diamond, and haven't played in months (just started playing again). Also need to be able to afford a coach after a certain point, but still living with my parents😐I'm gonna go find a way though, lets see.

[@momov4060]

in 2018/19 I had the chance to go pro as I was top 10 on ps4. I played the game so much and played tournaments and what not. But I never had the mentality to keep grinding the game like I did back in 2017-19 + I didnt care enough to go to PC and even though it wouldve been great money I feel it wouldve costed me my mental health. So I think its better that I never actually followed through with it. People dont get how exhausting it is to play the game seriously under an org. Its no longer playing for fun but it starts to become a chore

[@Frozen_Lies]

Well I mean it’s your job at the point

[@dafcgaming]

Great vid… although I have no intentions of going pro I do have a similar goal, which is creating content and there are a couple of things I can take from this video and apply it to my own journey, like putting in the hours and stuff, again I hope I can make it

[@ShadowReformed]

100% relate

[@timottt3485]

Thanks for the vid! Do you plan on ever doing a video where you show us a 'good' training regime like the first point of the video? For exemple you do like 30 min of shooting training, then mecs, etc

[@ShadowReformed]

Hey of course! Honestly there's a lot out there which is why I wanted to do something more general but different

[@gdgamingboi5159]

POV: u already know that before u know the vid existed

[@TylerWilson2004]

Really great vid. Inspires me to grind but I've gotta improve my mental!

[@sleddiejones6777]

As soon as I saw this video I loaded up rocket league. Currently hitting the grind because of you 😄 Next time I will beat u in a 1v1 😈 anyways really live the vid

[@sleddiejones6777]

Editing was very good aswel

[@Ambernoonmain]

Hey keep grinding you got this bro

[@umonkee]

I grind and try improve what I do wrong, now my goal is not to be pro but one day I'd like to be a 58 yr old Diamond.

[@ShadowReformed]

hey there's a 70-year-old champion, I think you can push for GC-SSL aha

[@sheepgodrl2898]

I have to work on my mental, I don't have a region for rl so i hope to go to an eSports college then go pro because with living in an area with better internet it really opens up my way to success as a player since i am almost top 100 in 2s and I'm working on 1s and have been a top 100 hoops player for a few seasons

[@ginga_rl]

Youre so underrated one of my favourite rl youtubers

[@ShadowReformed]

appreciate it!

[@Ambernoonmain]

I feel I have the ability to go pro I need to put in more hours but I've have learned alot about rotation I have learned fast I have currently 390 hours on rocket league and I'm Dimond 2 rn and I'm really working on my mechanics like car control and ball control in free play and workshop maps as well as consistency with my shots and learning more advanced mechanics

[@ShadowReformed]

just keep the grind up💪

[@Ambernoonmain]

@ShadowReformed thanks man I'm on rn training and playing 2v2

[@Ambernoonmain]

I loved the vid by the way

[@tibhamel]

@@Strays9 It is almost impossible to go pro rn EVEN if you're ssl. Doesn't mean some new guy can't get ssl after a long grind and end up going pro. It's unlikely for most people, hence this video, but it WILL happen to some. The current pros are not gonna stay at the top forever. So what's your point?

[@tibhamel]

@@Strays9 so everyone should stop trying to get better at the game to become the best, just because rl esport might be dead in three years and you have a very slim chance to actually succeed. If everyone thought like you, 100% of the playerbase would be plat. Why bother? Because it is an incredibly fun game, where getting better is incredibly satisfying, and being recognized as one of the best players is a dream for some. That's why. Do you know how many kids dream of being astronauts? Compared to how many people actually went to space. These are even more ridiculous odds, so why bother? I really can't stand that pessimistic view of the world. We're gonna die anyway, so why bother living.

[@daddycool1007]

Bro life is so short I wanna go pro but i also want to become chemist. Or just become scientist.

If you stuck in plat that’s all on u😭😭

[@Arelius]

Fire vid! even if it's not really that helpful to me bc I don't want to go pro. It was very interesting tho.

[@ShadowReformed]

Tyty🙏 Hopefully some good takeaways regardless

Missing the vids bro, hope youre doing well

[@ShadowReformed]

Coming soon👀

[@TizzTv]

The replays help a lot.

[@god_of_candy]

Great tips from a non pro. You could probably go pro yourself if you put the work in.

[@ShadowReformed]

eh I think my ship has sailed, I'm more invested in the content now aha

Bit of a break, busy would be an understatement lol. Videos in the works though!

@@ShadowReformed nice! Stay strong, less stressful time is on its way

[@altaibro]

I think going pro is no good. It just ruins your life. Imagine how many you need to spend and you still have very low chances to become pro.

[@brotherhoodofsteel3090]

That's the same with anything

[@altaibro]

@@brotherhoodofsteel3090 yes, if we are talking about sports.

[@brotherhoodofsteel3090]

@@altaibro No, literally almost anything. Anything you want to be skilled at requires hours within it. Whether it's photography or sports, martial arts or coding. Being a pro at anything requires the time to be put in.

[@altaibro]

@@brotherhoodofsteel3090 no. You didn't notice the second part which can ruin your life. Being a pro athlete is harmful for the health.
