What's interesting about Rw9's ground defense which I don't see with many others, is that even before Zen is comfortable or setup with a ground dribble, he pre-jumps but with the intention to go back to ground. As soon as Zen sees the pre-jump he tries to move the ball off his car to go under or a low 50/50, but of course, Rw9 is already anticipating that flying back to ground. Masterful defending
the thing he that Rw9 knows the aerial power that Zen has so he is just trying to intimidate him the most possible so he can make his opponent play in the way he want. Zen played this series more grounded than others because Rw9 did not allow him to be comfortable in his stuff.
i feel like i see that exact play pretty often in 1v1 gameplay and definitely try to do it myself often... but either way Rw9 just has a really good understanding of exactly what the other player wants to do and is always ready for their next move. A really good example is at 3:43 too, he sees Zen go high, so he goes high, sees zen go low, but doesn't go low because he understands that Zen probably is going to go high again so he stays high and backflips
@@chasewhyte863 yea I would have definitely gone down if I was him....I was like what is he doing on the wall...but yea he truly understood zen would go high again...incredible.
Daniel does this a ton
he also tries to do this at the perfect distance and time, so that the player with the ball cannot see that he has infact not gone into the air
Zen in this match is unrecognisable, rw9 is such an incredible defender and counter attacker that zen has to do a full 180 on his style
Zen is recognisble like he was doing good flip resets, flicks etc just rw9 is simply better
@@glaze.2214 He was playing completely different, in matches against other pros he would completely overpower them with non stop aerial plays, but because that doesn't work against rw9 he went for much safer ground plays instead
Exactly this. The player he turned into in game 4 and 5 to take those wins reminded me of a more refined Flakes or something. RW9 is such a punishing and defensively liable player that most of what Zen normally does is just not viable.
Before this rematch I was confident that Zen was far and away the best player in the world.
After the match, the gap between Rw9 and him is massive. Rw9 is without a doubt the best player in the game.
@@CorpusFisty yeah this match reminded me of the OG oKhaliD vs Flakes games. Smart and insane shooting vs 0 risk and dribbling
I respect that zens mentality/behavior/sportsmanship has improved. No ragequit and respectful in defeat.
Well played to both.
Well that tends to happen when you lose twice to the same guy
@@johnnywalker6564 yeah, imagine being able to beat everyone else except one guy in the whole world. at that point you just gotta admit it
@@johnnywalker6564 yea you can say he got humbled!
he's only acting that way because he caught criticism for being a crybaby last time
@@yaboy69. some people would still be whining, he’s a kid and showing he can cope. I like him a lot more today than last time, kinda hope he can grind out a comeback to the top so it stays competitive
We need comments from the players after the game, I feel thats rly missing and I believe I speak for many about that. Please implement that. Awesome series
This what i would never think i needed but i really do
It’s possible the losing player will often not be in the mood to be interviewed and if an interview is made standard then people will say a player is butthurt if they don’t want to do it. Just a guess as to why he doesn’t.
@@CorpusFisty I mean it works this way in every sport and is pretty nice to resolve a match, probably therapeutic for losing teams/players as well if the interviewer is half decent
Edit: if there’s prize money, you just make it part of the contract
Losing pro fighters who've just been bashed, injured and sometimes knocked out often give comments after a loss. I think players losing a video game can handle it.
@@7dayspking difference is pro fighters arent 15-18 years old and are a shit ton more mature than RL pros who’ve been in their bedroom their whole life with shit all social skills lol
and getting beaten in a fight is a lot different then losing game 7 in RL...especially considering you can trade wins and losses in RL so much easier bc you can just wake up and not be feeling it, compared to a fight of having months to train / prep
RW9 has a understanding of positioning and pressure that we haven’t seen before. Instantly a fan the first time I saw him.
I think this is good for Zen. He started out so dominant that everyone put so much pressure on him. Also at such a young age being so good it's easy to form an ego that you are just different, but now after a second loss he can shake that off and get on with being himself. Apparentlyjack is an example of someone who has a very strong mentality because he took so many losses on his come-up.
Fun fact, RW9 is younger than zen. Zen is not young for an RL pro.
Yea Zen playing RW9 is iron sharpening iron
RW9 is younger and has better mentality
@@keyton1928 Zen is still young though.
Also, yeah, even by pro standard Zen is fairly young. At the major, he'd have been the fifth youngest, only HNTR, Oski, Atow, and Evoh were younger than him. A few kids are near his age but a lot of them are getting to be 19/20 now.
@@cousinpatsey2471 but everyone of them started at 15 or 16. So he’s an average age pro starting out his career. They’re all young lol. Not sure what you’re trying to say
I love how 2 of the best mechanical players in the world doest risk getting clips on each other in this matchup lmao, just pure IQ
Rw9 is definitely mechanical but definitely not one of the most mechanical itw
That's because Rw9 was prejump faking everything and didnt allow zen any space.
@@synergyx3256 The way Rw9 forced Zen on the ground or Zen didnt take any chances was both sick and annoying for me to watch. I believe Zen would have done better with his arial parts than on the ground.
@@enymus3081thats the thing Rw9 is such a good defender that Zen couldnt do anything
@@enymus3081 zen didn't go for many aerial plays because rw9's defense is too good making it too risky
Truly a game to remember. One of my fav matchups
i watched the first one like 5 times, might do the same here lol
Notice how many of RW9 goals come easy while all of Zen's goal are hard fought over. RW9 seems to have a much better understanding of time and space. He is much more aware of where he, his opponent and where the ball are in relation to each other than what Zen is. Frequently he will be able to capitalize on small errors in Zen's place while Zen is rarely able to do the same to him. Zen don't get ANYTHING for free here, RW9 seems to know exactly where he is and what he could do at any time and is able to prepare for it.
Man. Beating Zen in a rematch is the highest rated thing to do ever, in 1v1. This performance by RW9 is no less than a Fairy Peak! 's Legendary match. Incredibly impressed
You can tell Jonny studies and does his research cause this man knows everything when it comes to rl. Very informative & smart. I think that’s what makes him entertaining above other streamers and content creators. Keep it up man. Love from Pennsylvania!
Yeah, we're lucky to have him in this community.
So many RL RUclipsrs that I can't stand, but here's Johnny just hitting it out of the park
Yea he’s definitely in a league of his own. Everyone else is either cringe or boring lol
yo i’m from pa too that’s funny
he doesnt study or do research, hes just been doing this for the past 6 or so years
RW9 is so clinical. Groundbreaking effiency and boost managment...doesn't really seem to make many small mistakes...except for those open nets haha
I play in ME servers, I feel that 😞
This was like a game of chess. It’s crazy to see how rw9 is the only player who can get a read on zen. It is clear that rw9 is one of the or the smartest 1s player of all time. Zen and rw9 seem levels above the other pros in 1s. True young legendary prodigies
Rw9 didn't demolish Mawkzy or Trk11 when he played them. Zen hasn't played Trk11 yet.
@@7dayspking TRK is on another level as well but he’s now focusing on 3s
@@7dayspking Rw9 doesn't need to prove himself against Trk11 or Mawkzy, he's already on top.
@@snugsel5412 What does your opinion add?
@@7dayspking What does yours add? it makes no sense.. you almost try to defend Zen while he lost.. 💀💀💀💀💀
Incredible match! Defensive masterclass by Rw9, currently my favorite player. It’s very interesting to see the difference in aerial creativity from Zen to Daniel. Daniel is the only player I’ve seen recently have soo much in his bag that Rw9 couldn’t defend against it. Perfect 1s trifecta, Zen most versatile, Rw9 best defender in the game, and Daniel the most unstoppable mechanically.
Zen beats Daniel, Rw9 beats Zen, Daniel beats Rw9. I love the state of RL 1s right now, soo many different play styles.
truly the rock paper scissors trio of 1v1 rocket league
What about Trk11?

Absolutely amazing series. Thank you, Johnny. I'm glad someone is around to try to keep Zen humble lol
One of the best rl matches ive seen in my whole life ngl
Did u not see the first time they 1v1ed a month ago? That was even better 3-3 first to 4 and rw9 won and zen raged quit
@@glaze.2214 Yes i see it but seeing in this rematch rw9 smashing zen was another level
Agreed. These two have the best rocket league ever played to this point. I was rooting against zen because he has had the hype train, but now that he’s the under dog against rw9 I’m kinda rooting for him next time. There needs to be 1v1 and 2v2 lans, so much more exciting than 6 mans
@@canalmicacos7695 yea true but it was more one sided in this 1 the first one was more intense and funner to watchc
spoilers:
It's crazy how Zen can seemingly beat every other top player and most of them with ease. I mean a top player like Daniel barely scraped together one game win against Zen in their series. Then suddenly he's made to look second best by Rw9. I thought the first series they played was a fluke, but I guess not: Rw9 is just that good
since RW9 is not that active in 1s I cannot compare him with the rest of 1s players except Zen. That being said I feel like RW9 is the perfect counter for Zen but would have a harder time than him to take on other pros. Imo Zen is the best overall considering his win streak
A lot depends on your day , Daniel vs Zen first match was decided by 1 goal only , 1 month later Zen wins 4:1 and their skill level can't change that much in just a month that is why bringing Daniel up is not really fair here , you can play very good one day and very bad the other , but the 2 Rw9 vs Zen match were more alike , he made Zen quit in their first match while very convincingly beat him 4:2 in their second match , he had 80 ping vs 20 in both match on top of that , Zen also barely won against Toxic , Vatira and Joreuz too by 4:3 so it is not like Zen is destroying everybody but suddenly lose to Rw9 , half of his winstreak matches ended by 1 game wins which is impressive but you know it could have gone either way, imo Zen is overall a little better than everybody right now and then comes Rw9 who is decently better than Zen aka much better than everybody else (except Mawkzy who is his nemesis, but they are still equal all time unlike Zen vs Rw9 where Rw9 dominates their head to head)
@@stimy7193 The fact that Zen is a 1s main for months now while Rw9 has been grinding with his team for months aka barely playing 1s and still schooling Zen just shows how good he is , if Rw9 would actually decide to focus on 1s he would be even further from everybody and on top of that he usually plays with 80-90 ping against people with 20 ping, despite these 2 big disadvantage he still the best in the world both in 1s and I would say he is definetly top 3 in 2s and 3s
@@davidkosiba624 Yeah, A lot of that makes sense. Mawksy just lost to KV1 which I was really surprised about, and Joreuz seems to lose to a lot of players these days (seemed to really fall off the list of top players); so it's interesting that he almost beat Zen. Anyway, curious to see how the rest of the tournament plays out. !v1 seems more unpredictable than ever these days
@@davidkosiba624 He always plays on that ping so he is used to it but you’re right, I can see why he can be considered the best in the world
I didn't know this was coming. Schedule cleared.
RW9 really one of the best defensive 1’s players ever completely just took zen out the game from 13:26 - 15:23 because of his defensive and then the counter attack too
Not one of the best, he's the best defensive player
@@xXxYairx peak FairyPeak>>>
One of the best?? He proved himself to be the single best defender in RL.
@@humbleman9069 maybe to new players, but i think everyone who actively watched 1’s for the past years, would agree that it still goes go FairyPeak.
@@Dublinsm64 peak fairypeak didn’t defend lol. He was a pressure based player who put on a high volume of shots and controlled the time of possession. Comparing any player to fairypeak now is impossible because the skill level is so much higher than when fairypeak dominated.
This and 2v2 is so much more exciting than 6 mans. What a match
Agree, allows for much more tactical and unique plays

This was probably the most anticipated rematch of 2023 ❤.
Rw9 humbled zen once again, love to see it
Both players are insane, way ahead of the competition in their own ways.
Zen's speed and ability to hit shots that nobody else can hit are in a league like we've never seen, it's also worth mentioning that Zen's overall strategic mind is pretty good - it's not like he's just relying on mechanics to destroy opponents, he can play smart as well and his mindgames are all the more dangerous because of how insane his mechanics are, which is part of what makes him so unbelievably dominant.
Rw9 is just different. His consistency in his 50s, positioning, boost management, and ofc goal line saves is just unbelievable. And like how Zen is more than just a flashy player, Rw9 is more than just a crazy defender - he has the mechanics to perform the flashy outplays when he needs to as well.
Both of them are monsters, of a different kind, but equally scary. I feel like Rw9 might have the edge in 1v1s simply because his more solid playstyle favours punishing mistakes, which in 1s can lead to very easy goals. Rw9 turns Zen's natural all-in playstyle into a weakness, because if it doesn't work then the counters are basically unstoppable, which forces Zen to play much more conservatively than he usually does. Still, games 4 and 5 (and 6 tbf, though Rw9 was too strong) demonstrate that Zen has the capacity to play at the level required to meet Rw9 solo on the pitch.
Great players and another great series by them, I look forward to a long and healthy rivalry between them!
rw9 clear number 1 and zen clear number 2 the others r debatable for top 5 but these 2 r clear in their positions
I don't know. Rw9 doesn't win against all the other players, zen never lost against any other. I feel like Zen still is the best but rw9 playstyle just counters him while it loses to some others.
@@stuehlchen4535 zen cannot be considered best unless he dethrones the previously definitive first player in 1s ranking. You can't dethrone the best player in 1s by beating everyone but them.
@@MohammedAli-tb7zc Yes if Rw9 beats everyone else but he is losing to mawkzy and daniel that doesnt mean mawkzy and daniel are the best players
@@stuehlchen4535 Who has rw9 lost to? On this channel he lost to daniel othan than that he swept everyone in the national tournament, rinsed the one before that clean as well. Theres a reason why johnny kept saying 'dethrone rwas' in zens first match against him
@@Shape1999 Dude he didn't play Daniel a long time ago lol , he was probably still 14 when they played last time , With Mawkzy he won 2 out of their last 4 match including their match today which he only lost by 1 goal lol , how you gonna call that out?
The unstoppable force meets the immovable object round 2.
What an amazing series
Just love all the ass blasted french kiddies too, zen fans are becoming the new squishy fans.
This could probably become the greatest matchup in RL history. Id say it's not quite there yet, but it's getting close.
What is the greatest match up then
@@dyzorted I'd say Fairy vs oKhalid had the best game of all time, but it was sort of a one off thing, so it's hard to pick between that and Fairy vs Scrub.
i know its a lot to ask, but adding an extra 30 min or so to each video like you used to was so nice. getting to game 6 and seeing only 5 min left in the vid its clear that rw9 wins unfortunately. ik that takes time to edit and stuff so i get that you cant do it all the time, just figured id mention it.
Agreed.
Sadly it doesnt work, he used to do that but when viewership has a massive drop in a part of the video youtube decides to cut the income from that video or something like that
What's the point in even watching if you don't wanna know the result? 😐
@@ChodyRay well it spoils the result in a way. its more similar to watching live and not knowing how much longer the series will last when the time of the video doesnt give it away
@@iankuiper4323 oh thats really stupid of youtube then. but yeah i figured there was a reason he stopped doing it
Best defense I've ever seen
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Now that you're here, Johnny (or whoever edits these) I'm begging you (and Feer) to please add 'dead time' at the end of every video so that we don't get spoiled by looking at the time remaining in the video. It's hard not to look at the timer, especially with ads and skipping dead time. It makes the match so much less interesting when I know who's going to come out on top by game 5 of this series.
ggs
I love watching players compete.
Thanks for the match Johnny
5:18 that recovery was too smooth 😮💨
It’s crazy how everyone in chat are clowning on zen like he didn’t literally just come into the 1s scene and run through every top player besides rw9
Nah, it's banter vs very obnoxious French viewers. Nothing serious
You’re right, but i think i understand where they came from, because zen beats their favourite player or something, besides what Johny said about zen in the beginning. Not justifying btw
When french people say something they are toxic but when other people do it it's just banter against obnoxious french people ^^
Frank spotted ^^
Well when the Zen fanboys were calling everybody trash even when Zen barely won by 1 game then you understand why people are tough on him too when he loses
Nah bro Zen is Rw9’s son💀
That is extra funny cause Rw9 is younger lmao
Zen just looks like he's playing freeplay in every match, I like him going for different approaches.
Esports stuff like this is relatively new when compared to sports in general. It’s awesome to see such young professionals being so mature and giving everyone a great show. 🏆
zen is a karate master. he’s water, gracefull and acrobatic. rw9 does kravmaga, he sits back, finds your exposed vital point and just kills you. amazing players
all to get owned by the goat Rw9 🙏😹
Bitch what?
Anyone know what Rw9's winstreak is on Johnny's stream?
I know he's not as active as Zen, but it's gotta be up there.
No clue but RW9 lost to Mawkzy earlier today
Rw9's defense actually made me jump out of my chair
Rw9 defense is unreal. What a player.
12:23 the last touch was weighted properly to ensure recovery and possession. Rw9's challenge covers the entire net and ignoring this fact and continuing a normal airdribble would be neutral at best and potentially losing... And Zen converts this advantage successfully.
18:02 Zen has this weird tendency to try to boom the ball forward into Rw9's possession. He's done it at at least 3 times so far and conceded after every one. Instead of throwing the ball away in a manner that is admittedly very mechanical, he should opt to send it softly to his corner, away from the opponent if he can't control it. In all these situations he has low boost but definitely a workable amount if he just maintains possession. If one is to dribble/guide the ball along the sidewall 50/50s become 25/25/50s where the wall is completely solid and a great defensive asset. Maybe Zen has kept his 2s/3s mindset and expects a teammate to connect and counterattack these clears that not only give the ball away but seem to completely compromise his position. Maybe Zen dislikes defense and doesn't feel comfortable on the backfoot. Personally as someone with basic mechanics I enjoy frustrating attackers, all though Rw9's style is very effective and minimalist, I suppose I'd crumble psychologically if I faced him.
Zen also tends to bluff on defense in plays where it doesn't hurt Rw9 to test the simple option Zen presents. Sometimes when I'm tilted I will consciously leave an opening and just hope it's too obvious for the opponent to consider. This almost always backfires as the attacker need only proceed honestly to easily score. 36:30
45:38 here's Zen doing exactly what I prescribed earlier. Soft touch into corner so Rw9 doesn't have much of an angle. Alas it's too little, too late. Definite improvement though.
Unlucky to Zen,
If he had one more hour of sleep, he might've taken this one, ggs though.
Yes and maybe some G-Fuel. And maybe if he handed the controller to amustycow
He would've still lost, he went in with the wrong game plan and only realized how he needed to play once he was already 3 down. Next rematch might be a lot closer.

Hey Johnny, one of the critiques I have of your channel (and all esport channels), is that the time of the video literally spoils who is going to win. At minute 41 I already knew who was going to win, it sucks all the suspense and excitement out of watching it. Is there anyway you can normalize your video lengths to all be 60 - 80 minutes so no matter what I can't deduce who wins purely based of the time? Thanks.

Ones is literally a different game. The more defensive you are, the more likely you'll win.

What reason is there to believe otherwise?
Firstkiller consistently gets his ass handed to him when playing actual top level 1s players. Zen would crush him.
Only 1 person has ever made rw9 look silly on defense for an entire series and that was Daniel
Rw9's play style is so tactical and merciless. They're like the Terminator of RL
Tbh even when khalid was winning against anyone he was sayin the best 1v1 player was rw9
Just shows how much better these two guys are compared to others. On a tier of their own.
That's simply not true. They aren't *THAT* much better than others, only a tiny bit better. The skill gap between high level players is very small.. nothing like comparing Plats to GC, etc. They're *ALL* pro for a reason.
@@hhaste the only person Zen has lost to is rw9. He has beat everyone else at least once. Johnnyboi has also said Zen and RW9 are in a tier of their own. Johnnyboi runs some of these 1v1 tourneys. I trust what he says about the ones scene.

Found it in the comments section of the first rw9 v. zen video. Decal is Neural Network, possibly painted variant though.
@@50_cent_rs94 thanks so much man
yea usually Zen plays so freely, but to see that rw9 completely stifled him like that just proved why Zen is just at the beginning of his 1's career
nice a good ego check for zen
RW9 is Zen's kryptonite
Unstoppable Force vs Immovable Object
Rw9 is just in a league of his own. Not nearly as active as Zen in the 1s scene recently and still beat him. Very impressive by Rw9. The best 1s player there is at the moment, without a doubt.
21:17 "RW9 has landed pretty pearly here" :)
rw9 reminds me a bit of flakes.. he has the mechanics to pull off everything but he is very smart in doing only stuff that’s safe and most effective
Defense and positioning looks similar to Flakes. Attacking seems a lot different. Flake's attacking seemed oddly creative, damgerous and effective in the recent Feer Festival. Rw9's attack seems more straightforward.
@@7dayspking true yeah, but i feel like rw9 is playing a defensive playstyle, where he can rely on his ability to save shots from the best players in the world, using flakes strategy in a lot of situations
@@lorenzexi5395 I agree. I think Rw9 plays safer than Flakes does and positions a little better. Rw9 has mechanics at a similar level to the other elite 1v1ers as well. Flake's attack though was surprisingly strong. I'd like to see Flakes hit the ball more accurately and with better power. And for Flakes to improve his recoveries and be a little safer like Rw9 is. Flakes sometimes takes unnecessary challenges, challenges the ball from the wrong side, centers for his opponent or commit to challenges with a flip right in front of the opponent's goal and then leaves the whole field open. Rw9 seems more consistently cautious and in defensive position even when attacking.
***SPOILER ALERT*** Great match and great commentary, however with the length of the video I knew the winner by the end of game 3. With RW9 winning 3 games in 24 minutes, that means there were only going to be 3 games left with the remaining 25 minutes. Low and behold, 6 games total.
What I am trying to say is that you could loop the first game to make the series unpredictable no matter the length of the video, like in the past.
1s channels have stopped doing this because RUclips punishes them for viewers only watching half a video. It was nice while it lasted and made watching a video easier not worrying about accidentally viewing the remaining time :/
Its a *You* problem if you cant just not look at the time lenght
@@a.21343 Or maybe the second I catch a glimpse at the time, my brain automatically does the math and spoils the results for me, so maybe I'm just too smart for my own good ;)
The twitch chat 💀
RW9 with the omnipresence defense. He is everywhere. Once again forced Zen to doubt in his own ability
Zen got clapped! I think the rivalry is over... everybody loves these Zen shorts and Zen uploads, but I say we need more rw9! Guaranteed more views
Rw9 is the goat because he has a twin he's trained against since he was in diapers. 1v1 is him
I hate how i can predict the ending by the time left 😫
Incredible after watching RW9 get beat by someone Zen didn't seem to struggle against, you realise RW9's playstyle really is the perfect counter to Zen's.
Rw9 vs Zen is sorta like the unstoppable force vs the immovable object. Zen is a psycho on offense and Rw9 is a lunatic on defense. There literally cannot be a better matchup than this.
Crazy how there is still a substantial gap between no.1 and no.2.
I wonder if Rw9 would consider Zen to be his toughest opponent so far.
Well rw9 lost to Daniel , zen beat Daniel and rw9 won against zen.
Some playstyle you’lle always struggle against
After watching many rw9 1v1’s, I’ve noticed this man doesn’t have a mercy rule for himself😂
RW9 is just simply a better player and easily #1. Zen needs to beat him in 3 show matches in a row to deserve #1.
393 ball touches if fucking unheard of dear god
