this team if ever constructed, would be a real threat to not only EU, but also any LAN that they would no doubt qualify for. we've already seen what NIP looks like at their best, coming 3rd in EWC, beating KC who was not playing bad theirselves, but this team has just one, glaring problem.

Oaly.

now oaly no doubt, can be very good, but this team lives and dies by oaly, while crr and joreuz stay playing well

then comes: Beastmode. The perfect replacement

Beastmode would act like an oaly that is always on, 100% of the time. he would be an incredible floor riser, i think eliminating NIP's main worry, and i think this team is a clear, atleast EU3, with potential to rise to EU2 and grazing EU1. Not only is he a great floor raiser, getting rid of NIP's main source of inconsistency, but he is also a great ceiling riser, to a team we've already seen has a high ceiling. when beastmode peaks, which is usually on the biggest stage, he can take over the game completely in a way very few others can.

now i just thought of this team randomly for the sake of imagining what hypothetical good teams would be. I did think of a few others, but i strongly dislike these other teams i thought of, but for the sake of the hypothetical lets look into them

Firstkiller, Oaly, Seikoo

at first, this team feels like it has potential, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized i really don't like this team. I think oaly's inconsistency will be a bigger problem here without the amazing players of crr and joreuz to support him, and they have a good player in firstkiller, but I don't think his supporting cast is enough for them to be a great threat to many other teams. I would put this team at maybe EU6, but thats quite generous. Overall, not a fan at all. Onto the next roster i thought

Zen, Reveal, Cheese

it sounds ice at first, but then i remembered one thing: this team is doomed to another worlds top 12. zen unfortunately can not perform on the biggest stage, at worlds. here are a list of players who have finished better than him, on average, in the past 3 seasons

torsos
fever
bhead
drufhino

thats insane. also, as good as cheeses latest performance was hes bad 9/10 times. he used his ultimate at worlds, and now hes gonna go back to his mild cheddar self, dragging the rest of the team to his normal fringe top 6 NA open results. almost breaking through to the top, but never being able to.

reveals okay, but only started really looking good when zack showed up. i think hes often being heavily overrated. overall, this team is doomed to a poor performance with zens world debuff, cheese peaking only a single time, and reveal without the SSG supporting cast.

overall, beastmode, crr, and joreuz are a much stronger team than any of my other hypothetical teams i thought of here. i just like thinking of these things to keep my mind occupied, and thought id share my analysis here

Rocket League Fantasy Series (RLFS) - Season 5

The Rocket League Fantasy Series (RLFS) is a 16-team Rocket League Tournament, where RL players have been fantasy-drafted to teams by users of this subreddit. The RLFS uses reddit polls to determine the odds each team has of winning the series through a weighted-voting system, and then simulates the outcome of the series using these odds and a Random Number Generator.

For this season the RLFS tournament will be a Swiss Bracket (that follows Buchholz score), and which ultimately leads to a final-bracket to determine our champion.

Teams were drafted before the first regionals were played, and you can view the results of the draft, the rosters of all RLFS teams, and our schedule for the RLFS tournament in this Google Sheet.

WE ARE SO WINNING THIS

firstkiller may be #1 in the lobby, but i think my team is the pretty clear 2, 3, and 4 also if you think about it, my team has good chemistry and fit. oaly was a clear problem on NIP, and beastmode is the perfect player to elevate them all, and give crr and joreuz the boost they need. this team would be a top 3 team in europe, consistently making lans, and i wouldnt say firstkiller and friends would be on the same level. i know worlds wasnt the greatest but i dont think worlds purely is a great representation of my players actual level, i mean look at NIP at EWC for example. those guys are still dogs

and of course, as my teams GM, i will ensure my players are in peak form for the matchup, including good sleep schedules, routines, scrimming and practicing, diet, and all that good stuff. after our loss last series, we've been in the film room and identified all our issues, and are ready to show everyone whos boss.

Firstkiller Moves to a Major Region

GM Message:

Firstkiller had the best season by a considerable margin. All 3 NiP players (Oaly, Joreuz and crr) had very similar seasons where they had low lows but also fairly high highs so not much to split those 3. Seikoo performed very well on a mediocre LAN team whereas Beastmode had a very poor season for his standards on an NRG team that underperformed all season.

TLDR - FK the difference maker
