It does make me wonder if what separates them is their ping difference. I remember back when okhalid and Jack were the top two, and eventually after some time jack would beat Khalid basically every time, but just ever so barely. I always thought they were so evenly matched the only thing that separated them was the ping.
@@nosyweird2972what was the point of mentioning that lol? You called it a disadvantage, and we agree it’s a disadvantage that could be causing the disparity between their play with other of the very top players. Not sure what you’re adding to it.
@@keyton1928 its not a disadvantage to them. They are used to playing with high ping, so much that aftger a point they dont notice it ingame because thats how theyre used to playing.
@@nosyweird2972 if only your logic was actually true lol. Then no one would ever have any disadvantages at any point in life because “they are used to it.” I wish we lived in your world buddy
Johnny I have always been a huge fan of yours and your casting. Never used to like RLCS but lately I’ve been watching it religiously. But man I still think your casting of 1v1 is the best content in rocket league by a mile it is so entertaining. You’re as good at casting rocket league as Celine dion is at singing.
this series was like watching two AIs. like every goal was an absolute banger but also grandmaster chess level mindgames and basically a 1-goal difference every game?? wtf
As someone who has watched nwpo since his very first showmatch I have to take a moment to appreciate how much he has improved. When he started he was literally just flexing his mechanics but the more he played the better he was and now, in my opinion, he's very close to top 10 1s players in the world if he's not already. Just incredible improvement Also have to say, what a series this was... Shame it didn't go to game 5 (but I'm happy zen won)
I think pretty much everyone has Nwpo high up on their top 10 1s players list right now, in fact many have him around #5 just behind the standout top 4 of (in no order) Rw9, Zen, Mawkzy and Daniel. He's definitely above the likes of Yan, Trk, FK etc. as things stand.
This very well might be the best 1v1 show match I’ve ever watched. One could make the argument that these are the top 2 players in the world at the moment
@@gregansbootstrap5352 always amazes me after years of commenting on Johnnys videos you haven’t changed one bit. Still a spiteful person all these years later gone by lol. You live for a comment that will get you a reaction.
@@gregansbootstrap5352 Trk isn't on that list any more my guy. He's only played 1 showmatch this year in 1s and that was losing by a 4-0 sweep to Nwpo himself. As the random chad said, top 4 is easily (in no order) Mawkzy, Rw9, Zen and Daniel. Nwpo is a clear #5. After that are the likes of Yan, Trk, FK etc. but Trk is only there on legacy.
36:33 I'm surprised that Nwpo didn't take the ball up the wall. Zen was far back in the opposite team side and could've been scored on if Nwpo sped up the ball and scored the aerial shot.
That game #1 was probably the best 1v1 game I've ever witnessed. I mean, it was mentioned "two top class attackers" or something along those lines...and yes I do understand these guys are better at attacking and less better at defense...so there were a ton of goals. But I love the pure no hesitation...the pure offensiveness... basically without any mistakes. Until overtime basically. Overtime is where they got slightly hesitant. Excellent game. Excellent content. Stuff like this makes me want to switch back to the Octane body style for once in the past 6 years. ("Tell me you're not good at RL without telling me you're not good at RL")...I know that's what you all are thinking. But damn... I'm thinking this gameplay would honestly get Kuxir to switch to the Fennec and resume RL again. I'd wager...if he did...you see him again in these show matches.
would it be possible to make every ones game ~2 hours in length so I can’t predict who wins based on the video length? or would this cause too many problems with uploading due to video length
I wish that was an option, but youtube doesn't like it when there is a large chunk of a video that no one watches so they stop recommending the video for viewers. Thats why you rarely see content creators do so.
Absolutely outrageous. I thought the zen v daniel match was a never-ending highlight reel but you can't even blink watching this one. Just 2 simultaneous clinics.
i think its kinda frustration that the twitch viwers calling all of this masterpeace lucky i mean even if they're joking just appreciate the hours that they spent on these first touches and all of there plays , this showmatch is one of the best ive ever seen
This is by no means a spoiler because i havent watched the full series, but nwpo seems far more confident in 2s. In 1s dont get me wrong he's insane but he seems hesitant to use his full mechanical capability
It is crazy to me watching chat and seeing Zens plat fans calling NWPO trash and watching NWPO's plat fans thinking Zen hitting an open net is lucky. These are some of the best players in the world clashing while plats are trash talking each other.
6:30 plan B might be a dumb name for it but you know what's also dumb? Calling two distinct shots by the same name. A pogo requires the car to bounce off the ground. What zen did is planting his car on the ground just as the ball bounces on it.
@@Snapey81 Did you watch the showmatch between Nwpo, Trk, Venom and Shopify yesterday? Minor spoiler: one player did a pogo and then scored after bouncing. Johnny was tripping up over his words because of exactly what I said. He first called it a pogo shot, and then he corrected himself saying it was a pogo into an air dribble into the shot (even though there was no air dribble, it was just aerialing to the ball to make the shot). I love Johnny but it kind of maddens me when he won't use terms like psycho, squishy save, etc because he claims it's not as understandable, but then he goes and calls two distinct shots by (almost) the same name.
@@bellini9374 Yes, I did watch the series and saw the 1s match between Nwpo and Paarth and I think you might be reading too much into it. He said it was a pogo shot but then after watching the replay adjusted it to say it was a pogo air dribble - which you could tell as he was laughing was clearly adding some humor to the shot since Paarth hovered in the air longer after the pogo than what usually happens. He wasn't tripping over his words at all, he was making a joke. If you watched the whole series there were also a lot of people that joined late complaining that the overlay had 1-0 to KSA because there was a big delay due to the patch update. Johnny said that the first match was played about 2 days ago before the update came in, he exaggerated what happened for comedic effect. It's possible that maybe his sense of humor is not for you. Terms like Squishy Save annoy me whenever I hear it. In-and-out saves are just as easy to say and obvious to 100% of viewers watching what it is, regardless of whether they are a new fan or core fan. Add to that, in-and-out saves were being done as early as RLCS season 1, I remember Kro doing it years before Squishy did and both Marky & Kux too - but because Squishy is a popular streamer who did it a couple of times on his stream several years later, they name the move after him? Insane. And personally I would rather someone just call it a flick rather than a Musty/Breezi/Jzr/Classy/Mognus/Mawkzy/Athena(!)/Junk etc. flick just because they have slightly different angles of approach or positioning of the car. I don't get why everything in NA has to have a cool hip label which only the core fans of the game will understand.
to generate the power that nwpo got on that one flip reset that launched off the back board you have to let the ball land on your car, instead of you hitting the ball hard for the reset. it’s only doable i’m certain situations though which sucks
Once NWPO ups the ante on his defense he'll make a huge improvement on what already is a wonderful defense. Zens abilities and mechanics seem a bit much for NWPOs current state of defense, perhaps the only pro who has NWPOs number. NWPO has best in the world capability.
I think u should add an anti spoiler screen at the end of such a big video, especially in this one, cuz only by the time we can tell who won the 4th match which is annoying, other than that, great content
I don't think anyones realising, not even me, what we're actually living in the Rocket League competitive world, i've been watching rl for about a year and i don't think i've saw players improve that quickly, even if that surely happened before i started watching rl competitions. And i think we are getting close (maybe not there yet) to peak rocket league movements out of players, for me the next step for rl teams will be constant and ultra accurate created and trained passing plays, where the creativity of players will shine throughout setting up the 2nd/3rd man even better.
@@cyrnoz1803 You're absolutely right ! What i meant was that i like to imagine that we'll see more aerial passing plays to generate as much power on the ball as possible instead of taking a simple shot to put pressure on
what the hell did nwpo actually do to get that much faster than zen when zen asked "what?" in the first game.. zen flipped and had plenty of groud over nwpo and nwpo just instantly flew past him looked like some crazy zap dash but I doubt it gives you that much speed lol. at first glance looked like a teleport almost
Based off all your videos and Feer’s videos tbh I think Zen is just enjoying friendly banter and high competitive level but Vatira sometimes has seemed genuinely upset, I think he’s tired of losing outside of mid play but tries to claim it holds no benefits to pro play in 3s. He knows it does. That’s a phony excuse. I like Vatira but don’t agree at all.

Ot was top tier
Agreed that match was so good
The winners 5th goal was CRAZY
Kodes+
That first game felt like one of the best 1v1s I've seen
They both had over 2000 points…it was.
One of the best series I've ever watched, the highlight play after highlight play was ridiculous
10:30 holy moly that walldash save wtf
nice catch. crazy play
Just hearing "Zen's got school tomorrow." made me bust out laughing. Dude is a menace.
Like for no spoiler
Spoiler: He wins
Yes, HE winx
Zen wins
No
He's him. He wins.
Zen is so lucky Rizzo retired
Agreed
You can't say the R word out loud bro. You might awaken him again.

No you Cant i don't know what he's talking about
might be the best game 1's I've ever watched hoolllyyy
Dude over 2000 points each in game 1?! This is peak RL.
Why teams orange and blue instead of custom colors in rlcs? It look way better when pitch is colorfull and u can force default if u dont want colored.
Zen flip reset and amzaing goals : "simple shot by zen" Nwpo flip reset "what an amazing shot"
