Thankfully, I live in Texas, so getting to Ft. Worth only took about 4 hours. It was my first in-person RLCS experience, and it was AMAZING! We had so much fun, and Dickies Arena was a great venue (prices were a bit high, but...). I only wish some of the teams had MERCH available. I hope they do it again in the future, I'll be there 100%!
I just want to say it's so nice to see Rizzo get more into the podcast lately. I know this episode is a live EP with worlds having just happened so of course it'll be a good one. But in general I think he's been a lot more engaged the last 10 or so episodes than he was day 30 episodes ago where every episode he was barely talking and feeling disconnected. Just glad to see the whole gang vibing! Banger episode as usual and loved the Justin stream in the background (and his shinanigans)
@@blueblueread it's just a compliment brother. there were jokes about rizzo being the quieter one since before the patreon lol, that's what people chose to pay for since the start
The mic sounds good guys, you just want to add a high-pass filter (or low cut, same thing) in OBS, and set it around 70-100hz, and it will kill a lot of that low rumble boom sound. Fantastic episode!
I think swiss into that format was perfect. felt PERFECTLY fair, and everyone got to see crowd, and either the crowd game was a knockout, or a top top team battling it out....just the way you want it as someone who watches.
Ima keep it a buck chronic and first killer had there moments but at this point appjack should be a cripple because of how much he’s carried the entire season
@@renownriverspnw5314Dralii surprisingly was the most consistent all season. exotic and MM had their sleepy moments even at the same time from time to time but never have I seen Dralii have an off split.
@@renownriverspnw5314 bro you are not giving Dralii nearly enough credit. BDS nearly got eliminated, it was decided by a single game 7 goal that they were even able to win; Dralii played phenomenally the entire series (and championship), with any other player in his place they very likely never win this RLCS at all. He was peaking
For a side by side podcast, I'd recommend either getting each one a dynamic mic (makes it so only 1 person is heard), or to get a single shotgun mic thats facing all 3 of you (so that the mic can be placed further away but still hear everything clearly)
IMO it should be on the players more to help the org make more money. I think their should be an option. You don't wanna make content? cool then take a semi-significantly lower paycheck. Big content creator? okay you can make a bit more and if you go out and help us market, sell merch do more publicity stuff you can get bonuses or whatever.
11:55 that was a cold recovery from Justin on the TV in the background. Also, took me a week to get back to watching this because the beer slam earthquakes were abusing ears and playing to it was not funny Johnnyboi.
I agree that orgs should focus more on content to help with revenue. I mean the only org I've ever watched content wise and the only org I think does a really good job with it in general is NRG. When JSTN, Squishy, and Garret were teamed it was a match made in heaven as far as content creation I wasn't even watching RLCS at the time and I was still watching their videos.
Imagine being Rise, switching to BDS last season to lose in the finals, change team afterwards, only to see that BDS win worlds again this season, yikes.
This may be a bad take, but I think part of the problem with orgs not making a lot of money is the age of players too, I think that if the lowest age was 17 then you have players who will treat the esport as a job and have time for content etc.. We have to keep in mind half these players are still finishing high school and have other priorities in their free time. If you make them wait till they are adults players will be stay in the field longer and have the free time to make content and show more of their personality
I have so much i could talk about with esports economics lol the thing about picking up undeveloped talent because of salary decrease happened in LCS and now all 3 worlds teams have rookies/2nd year players
Orgs could do 'fan sponsorships' where people pay to get their name on a jersey for tournament. Wouldnt solve the problem but it could be a way to start
1:41 they did say they were gonna mainly talk about worlds, and in fairness it is the most important one of the year. You’re right tho they don’t acknowledge how good g2 have been this season that much
On the note of instability if players start pumping out content for the game, you are bound to get players like Boostio (Valorant pro) who say that they’re spending too much time on content and that the org (100T) doesn’t want them to win. I believe esports as a whole is just in an awkward state after Covid and the franchising disasters from cod and overwatch. Esports is its own online beast that has potential of revenue, but probably not to the likes of NFL or NBA status.
Will the 3s player be allowed to play in the 1s tourney ? Could it be an issue for teams if the prizepool is big enough for players to focus on it ? (practice wise eg)
The old NRG vids were good, then did challenges against each other, I mean Jstin nearly always won but thats not the point, they all seemed to be having fun, but stuff like that, take a leaf out of leths books and do maps/challenges ect
Why would they talk about the g2 London win. That was 2 months ago. The main tournament in rl is worlds so idk why they need to talk about London. It was obviously a big achievement but worlds is more important
RL moves on from rosters way too quick. GenG was on top of the world a year ago, now they’re not so they wanna break up? They gotta capture that magic again.
The org owners KNOW they are not making the money back, it's an investment. The way esports is setup, the players and the developers make ALL the money and the TO's and the org's make NEGATIVE money. Hopefully esports makes a big switch where the FANS actually contribute monetarily. I would pay to enjoy a great product and I don't even have high demands as a free viewer. There are fans and players and developers out there complaining about the product they're very spoiled for lack of a better term in this monetary model that esports is setup in.
Wasn’t that just team Rule One last year? I don’t think the twins will team up with Nwpo again, they have performed significantly better with Trk this season

@@1Soltis bro if EU won Landon they would talk about it non stop. They literally waited till BDS won something so they can have an excuse not to talk about G2s domination 😭
earlier seasons, where it felt like a season was year round was only 9 months, but in the 3 OFF months we got things like Summit WHICH LEADS TO US KNOWING PLAYERS AND LOVING PLAYERS, Johnny's tourney (killing me that i can't think of it) but was super competitive and at least two other small scrim tournaments for trying your new team out before the new season. that's how the RLCS needs to be. YEAR ROUND. 3 majors and a championship done in 9-10 months. then 2-3 months of shenanigans. Players having fun, players feeling each other out, and new rosters debuting/trying. and seeing how SSG got screwed so many times this past season, SOMETHING has to change. I'd almost forgo the "yeah bad day," and go back with set number of teams play each other for 3 weeks and decide the major. better than always playing one and two and being relegated to 8-12 before you get to play anyone new. the last two splits, don't allow for stories or for rivalries in a good way.
Honestly it’s more of the way the rocket league pro scene is. It was a talking point throughout the season. Don’t be surprised if orgs drop from this esports
I've said for years now that RLCS's format is not sustainable in the long run because of the player salaries. Only the biggest orgs and those funded by the government (Falcons) will be able to pay the crazy salaries to build super teams over and over again. RLCS needs a salary cap if they value parity and org diversity over 3-4 orgs dominating the esport. I predict that eventually we will see 3-4 orgs that have multiple teams and control the esport completely. There's just no way for a small business org to compete with an org like Falcons that gets government funding. The current model works in the short term but there is no long term growth.
