[@krackenmg6032]

I thought the amount of fear I had for zen after the 4-1 start for jack was unparalleled, I soon found out that that fear would be overshadowed by my own fear for Jacks's well-being in seconds. This dude is nuts...

You should cast Zen vs. NWPO next because not only would it be an insanely mechy match, but it would also answer the question of who is the best banned player in the world.

Battle of the Banneds! Love it

[@alecthomson5027]

Why are they banned?

[@dylanmoreno6381]

@@alecthomson5027 They were too young to play in RLCS so they went on alt-accounts to bypass the age restriction. RLCS gives out a one year ban to any player who does this starting from the time they reach the minimum age to play RLCS. They both are banned for the same reason. Zen is unbanned in a month or two (I think) and NWPO in like six months or so (I think).

[@JaimezIRL]

[@onenottwo3918]

@@gregansbootstrap5352 Dark is just not consistent enough for ones rn. He has an insanely high ceiling but he just doesn't perform at that ceiling often (we've seen what happens when he does). His fundamentals are lacking as well.

[@fluk9149]

we need zen vs some of the mena players, cause so far he's just ran through everyone and made it look pretty easy. i don't think he'll make it look as easy in the future but so far it just looks like he's playing a completely different game. zens the truth

[@flmks]

After only 2 months of playing ones and you'd have to say he's already on the level of Yanx, Npow, Trk, FirstKiller, Daniel, AayJay, Mawkzy. crazy

[@BawlBag]

Most likely higher. Only time will tell for sure

[@KaoticJay]

No he is above them, all of them, every single one.

[@RedHellFire55]

i mean you cant really say after 2 months of playing ones, all listed players have played 1s for years, now showmatches yes, but gotta remember he's probably faced every one of those people in ranked

Zen vs Trk or Nwpo since their styles clash it would be nice to see who would come out on top. Also the clips would be nonstop!

[@jxrdan444]

When I saw the video length I was like damn not too surprising that jack sweeps zen but damn zen is just different I need more showmatches immediately

[@Exsulator2]

Jack hardly even play 1s for months now, it's the sadest thing for me in RL. I used to enjoy daily uploads of 1s games, then Jack fell off his 1s grind, focused on 3s, and now GenG is the world's best team with him at the front, and yet I'd rather see him pick up 1s again. No doubt for me Jack can be no1 in 1s if he wasn't taken away by 3s mode :/

[@holysecret2]

@@Exsulator2 One of the saddest things is how 3s are cannibalizing 1s. I hope there will be 1s RLCS soon in the future.

Babies usually don't sleep that great. But jokes a side, gotta say I love the EU vs NA stats. There's a ton of banter and hate in reddit against this comparison. But the convo about this issue is just out there and you cant argue with the numbers.

[@Inactive414]

Haven’t seen past this point yet, but zens shot at 5:30 has to be the most control I’ve ever seen that shit was bonkers

[@Punisher-qe6kp]

I want to see rw9, the best defender in 1s, take on Zen. Unstoppable offense vs impenetrable defense. If he breaks down rw9's defense then i think its just a wrap lol

[@Aerixes.]

i like how zen gets 4 kickoff goals and the french fanboys say EZ lmao

[@Exsulator2]

Jack always said Zen was a great player, for as long as I've followed his YT. And jack tbh does say that about many players, but he always talked about Zen like "you're gonna be surprised how good he is" and it's kinda cool how that prediciton came true. Anyway, Jack hardly uploads 1s games anymore. It's sad because it feels like he's kinda traded 1s for 3s, but I kinda wish Jack returned to 1s grind at some point. Maybe he got bored of dominating 1s ranked for so damn long. I wonder if that's what happened to Fairy Peak as well, back in the day.

[@cirrus404]

Yeah I feel like most goated 1’s players just get bored of the grind. Definitely has the least variation because it’s so kickoff dominant and is probably the most competitive too which causes burnout ig

[@GirthTickler]

ive never seen jack just get absolutely manhandled like this

[@xanboyyy]

Apart from the obvious Rw9, I want to see Zen 1v1 OkhaliD or DrKnown. Zen would probably win, but I wanna see if that type of play is viable against the monster that is Zen. EDIT: Or our lord and saviour Flakes would also be interesting to watch.

[@uncensored393]

I'm English, so it stings to say this, but the French are mastering RL rn. I wish it was us, but hey ho - maybe next year

[@chaelsonnen7947]

RW9 is the 1’s king. Neither Gen G or Faze are French and they’ve been running 3’s.

[@rz050cb]

oh my god im boutta end this arguement about plan b and pogos, so. A pogo is a straight shot on goal and or when you bounce your car on the ground and the ball also bounces on the ground and after you keep on going with whatever you were doing. Thats a pogo A plan B is a recovery. So if it goes straight in the net its a pogo if its used to recover from lets say a failed flip reset and the ball bounces ontop of your car and after you continue your freestyle. thats considered a plan b.

[@lc1pX]

I wanna see Zen vs Rw9 real bad

[@fritzpipedorowalter]

Only a week ago I was still under the impression that France's biggest prospect was Wenbenyama. Either the whole "high altitude spy ballon"-story is a cover up and Zen is an alien who came to win terrestriaRL or this nerd wrote the code for an wavedashing airborn Nexto2.0-monster.... this shit is innnnnnnnsane.

[@daetonspicer7728]

I’m speechless 2 months and looks unbeatable by pros who have been at the top for a long time.

Dude, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think peak form Fairy Peak would sweep this kid. Fairy was always able to shut down the mechanical wonder minds

[@marclm8653]

Meccanical players are fast in general. For them its just easier to control theyr car and so its speed and recoveries. That puts a lot of pressure to who wants to play smart. So if u want to play smart u also got to be verry calm to not choke onder the pressure. Being meccanical is a huge atvantage.
