Dude. This is next level. We need more of this type of analytical content with your in depth game knowledge. And the pausing is fine. It helps a lot more understand your point
Agreed!🫡would love more!
agreed
Crazy how much a pro can analyze other pros. What a legend squishy
Is it really that crazy? Not really if you think about it
Bro literally repeated the same thing for 30 minutes.
I remember a Coach talking about Triangle Defense, where if you drew a triangle of where each player were, a big, wide triangle is usually ideal to have better field coverage. Another coach said that 2nd man covers "best case scenario" and 3rd man covers "worst case scenario". I think Eversax applied both with these "Leftovers" and made a Major winning squad. Good on them
I don't mind the pausing. You are explaining what is happening. Anyone who doesn't like you pausing throughout the video doesn't watch their own replays and don't care to rank up. Game play is nice and all but this is awesome, love hearing your perspective on the highest level of the game. Very cool stuff very innovative and anyone can take notes from this. Very cool video. ❤️
Flakes actually talks about this positioning a lot on his twitch. He says a lot of teams play 3s like it’s 2s and no one ever plays across
Pretty bold to assume diamonds would try to cover the field. If you are in dia and want to Rank up, assume that your mates will cover nothing and that you always have to be ready to make Up for them If they make mistakes xD
or just accept to dont leave ur side of the field ever and play 3rd man while not making any mechanical mistakes for the whole game :D
@@esandler99 yeee but than you cant counterattack. Counterattacks are an essential Fundamental to Score Goals. So go with your strategy if your mates dont rotate back, just stay back, but If they do I would recommend to counter, to work on your recoveries and to learn to rotate back in time.
@@chronuid yeah, i mean.. my comment was kind of meant in an ironic way. personally i dont play like that (anymore) :} . i watch a lot of goldenlights videos and try to implement that in my game. The whole idea of covering the field like m8tes do is just common sense, when you think about it.
If you want to get better you have to start doing things that better people do
@@esandler99 true. It's simply the fact that I can imagine how many people get tilted if their mates dont follow the common rules. And just assuming that its normal for that rank is pure anti-tilt medicine and If they do against your assumes, you are more happy about it.
I didn’t want to relive this but I’ll be damned if I’m gonna miss a Squishy breakdown vid
Love this type of content Squishy, keep it up! Having a pro break down gameplay like this is super helpful as someone stuck in high champ - low grand champ. Also I think the pausing is totally fine it helps you provide a clear snapshot of positioning and lets you explain your point.
If you search up goldenlight channel, hes whole thing is talking about this structure by dividing the field in half, 1 guy to the left, 1 guy to the right and last guy generally half field away behind the person the person that has the ball. Goes on about how situations should be handled, proper movement, proper spacing etc.
Edit: To add something else; With this structure it really shows a flaw that g2 had and its mirroring matchup. 1st man is clearly vs a 1st man, but people tend to forget or get tunnel visioned, theres 2nd man vs 2nd man and/or 3rd man vs 3rd man and if you dont really cover your guy just like in any other sport, that guy will be a threat if the team sees that opening. Having this structure that you mentioned (1 guy left and right and 1 behind) makes it so 3rd man on the opposite team (g2) has to cover his matchup thats in the opposite side of the ball, because if every player was on the same side, then yea they dont really have to worry to much about a pass going across the field. This off the ball movement is CRUCIAL in team play.
bro tried to sneak in G2 and thought we wouldnt notice
You should do tons of this, very entertaining!!!
Great analysis, my problem with doing this in low champ is that my teammates will be covering the opponents' left and right posts like they give out free candy and I'm left alone with a whole field to cover.
This is actually one of your best videos, I love the slow down, I love the personality, & we obviously love learning from you!
Please keep making these! ❤️
This was a fascinating watch, thanks for the breakdown squishy. I certainly makes a lot of sense as all the way through the major I could never pinpoint one player doing the most work on Gentlemates, despite Itachi and Seiko being renowned for their mechanics on previous teams, yet they took down the likes of KC and G2 who had been so dominant in the qualifiers.
I will be looking out for this playstyle from GM8s and other teams in the upcoming quals for Major 2 as surely other coaches will have picked up on this.
their strategy makes a ton of sense it seems obvious that every team would try to play that way, but the gentlem8s are on another level of implementing it the same way zen is on another level mechanically. also shocking to see how often g2, who is also one of the best teams in the world just have such bad positioning and are all 3 grouped up in a corner.
new meta unlocked: remember how to rotate
I feel like we learned this in 2016 but the proliferation of high skill, insane solo plays/double commit metas kinda took over as everyone got better and faster, maybe this major will be the catalyst for a huge meta shift, or maybe it will take a team winning worlds with this playstyle for everyone to take it seriously. Regardless, interesting times ahead I think.
I instantly tried this myself, went into 3s ranked and won all three games I played. Will continue to do that now and hopefully can reach GC after being hardstuck in Champ for like 3 years. Thank you so much for bringing this strategy up Squishy
I have no problem with stopping to explain stuff. I'd love this kind of insight for 2's
Absolutely awesome video. Love the pause - more pause. Around 11 minutes you broke down what every player was and should be doing with perfect pauses. How you explain why is so helpful. A lot of content creators leave out the “why”
this positioning stuff is so logical I wonder why most of people positioning is so chaotic!!
In regards to how you view the replay, I would say you're the one with the best judgement in this case. If you feel you should pause and explain something, then do that. Considering it's a replay review, pausing makes sense to me. We're here to watch you and what you have to offer.
Great stuff! Would be good to maybe mix in one of the losing games next time to see if anything changed for those.
Would love to see geng or kc match. Both of those went the distance and felt closer imo.
Pause as much as you want it’s your channel and your thoughts that we are here to learn from
enjoyed the ramble makes sense why they beat them
Not just the best player but the best analyser too
Ring looks good on you squish, congrats ^_^
I wonder if G2 plays closer cause it works better against teams that are disrupters. If the opposing team goes for bumps a lot and forces you out of position does this strategy still work as well?
@Squishy Did cloud9 think about positions like this when you were in the team?
I don't mind stopping the replay.
Great analysis and tips!
yoo squishy. you will be a great coach. with that said i know you thought about it at least once, and will you try coaching a rocket league team in your near future??????
If you aren't going to compete any time soon then I think you could be a pretty good coach not gonna lie.
Positioning is always number 1 in rocket league!
i thought having this triangle formation is the basics? and i thought all teams knew to do this
bacon egg n cheese
thank you great vid! Very interesting
Love the face cam Squishy and the content.
being sponsored by Porsche is insane
Fundamentals bruh, it’s all it takes
It's so obvious once you spell it out, thanks. Also, I think the cam could be a bit smaller.
I’m stoned and this is crazy to think about playing pure positioning like an army.
Squishy i am here to tell you this "triangle" play style was coined by peak NRG!! (You, Garrett, Justin)
I know this because Chicago did a break down vid "why is NRG so good" after they lost to you guys again 😂 he was watching the replay and noticed the triangle NRG did in all your plays and the coverage.
Now if you consciously did this or not, doesn't matter. Peak NRG play always had or naturally had a triangle.
After Chicago noticed this he ended stream pretty fast, think was his last "break down" vid. Then things kinda went somewhat down hillish for you guys at NRG.
But heck do some break down vids of peak NRG and not so peak NRG and show what you discover 👍
I know I never count you 3 out ever! Top dawgs for sure 💯👍
Is squishy in Texas?
bruh... iRacing sponsorship in a rocket league video is wild
kcorp?
Just a few minutes into the video I’d like for you to not watch the games before that way you can break it down without bias, this is without any disrespect but right away you can see you lean a certain way to break down what went well. As opposed to breaking down the whole game to see what went well and didn’t on each side. Love you squish!
Real life sports 501 and transferring to RL is all this is
No ones hyping up the porsche sponsor? Even if they lowballed fucking peak sponsor to get
W facecam
Squishy can you backflip for me
please continue to stop the video and explain important tips and tricks, it is extremely helpful.
the best two teams? I don't see Falcons or KC here
green screen squishy
SUUUIIIII
I rather you pause the video and analyze it, if i didn't want your analysis i wouldnt watch your videos!!! ALWAYS feel free to pause as many times as possible
bset video
First teehee
Don't listen to the people saying you shouldn't stop much, you're doing a god damn analysis! My take: pause often but make them short and don't repeat yourself too much, if there is something we didn't understand, we can just rewind a couple of seconds.
this whole video was him repeating the same thing xD
You need to do more of these type of vids!
Yes more facecam 🙂 love this style vid too. Don't hesitate to pause the footage. your insight is valuable
There may be alot of people complaining about you pausing too much. But the majority enjoy it, its just the people who dont are all openly complaining about it. Why dont you do a vote on stream to get the actual numbers i'd guess 70/30 in favor of them enjoing you analyse the plays.
yeah fr cuz not only is watching him analyze the game entertaining but im sure he enjoys doing it as well so i think its a win win. if the people complaining about him pausing dont wanna watch him analyze then they shouldn't have clicked on an analysis video.
@@ledgyy Exactly he's tips are gold. and will save you THOUSANDS of hours just by listening how are they complaining.
@@ledgyy if rocket league was as big as NBA or NFL people would be paying him to analyze it lol
E
The people who don't like the pausing have short attention spans, I swear. They just wanna watch the game but not understand the plays.
Squishy in his coaching era
I noticed last season that it felt like NA was held back because I felt they were always chasing/diving when the ball moved laterally across the field against EU. Specifically watching the old G2 and SSG rosters. This video makes so much sense and it shows that NAs issue isn't anything mechanical, its their field coverage.
This is really interesting, would love more match reviews (maybe even past games?)!
I play and position myself this way. It works REALLY well if you're in a team that also plays this way, the moment it doesn't there will be a lot of double commits and it'll be a case of YOU not seeing what your teammates are doing because you're over there playing a rotation and game the others ain't (at lower levels Dia-Champ). At higher GC1+ people usually have the awareness of where you are and that you'll be ready, or at the very least adapt after they've seen your play, positioning and what you go for 1-2 times.
In lower ranks, unless with a team that knows what's up, you'll find A LOT of people will cut you off or panic because they're not used to people being there, or they think you're slow/out of boost for not going earlier. In reality you have full control and is just setting yourself up, or even slowing down the pace in order for teammates to get into a position so you can pass to them. Trying to play like this solo won't work as well due to people's expectations being different, rotations they have and what they deem as a dangerous situation from their perspective.
However, this is the correct play, you just need all on board so they're aware of what they're actually covering, what they should go for and what to do next. Without the latter there will be a lot of situations where two people are in the wrong spot, team bumps and double commits. I've had games with below 100 points playing this way because the other two cuts in front and doesn't trust the rotation/game plan.
I’m GC1 every season (past like 4 seasons) and just like you I end up with low points some games, because my teammates cut me off then push up behind first man then are basically on their bumper and when the ball is close to them it’s too high fr them or out of their reach cus they are too close and at that point they spam at me to go for the ball while I’m on the opposite side of the field expecting them to be up for that 🤦
Also I tried telling my actual team this in my collegiate league and one my tm8s that I knew was the issue said no I think it’s better for 2nd man (guy who should be playing behind first man) should be middle and I was showing him examples of himself getting dusted or being middle and not even jumping because either the ball was flying over his head or he wasn’t going to beat the defense.
He still stood by what he said after all the evidence I gave him and I knew from then on we weren’t gonna win the league and we didn’t (bounced in the first round)
@@texsion Yeah, that sounds a lot like my experience as well. And when you do listen to them, adapt and go for it next time it happens they whine at the goal being open or they're not ready to follow up after the challenge, and again it's your fault lmfao. But yeah, this is the playstyle I believe in as well, just gotta get the right people together and sync.
@@texsion Sounds like you need a new teammate, or you to find two others. Damn :/
@@T3n50r I learned the play style from a guy named GoldenLight (think that’s his YT) but yeah he’s on a team that hooked up with thanovic and posted a 3s positioning video and hopefully that video and this video show people positioning because squishy is repeating the same things I’ve been told for a couple years now by Golden
The more I watch rocket league the more it really is soccer. I’ve played soccer for 15+ years and they’re running a triangle almost perfect. In soccer, one of the most effective ways to dissect a defense is by utilizing 3 players in a triangle. Whether that’s with running overlaps, using through-balls, or simply passing amongst each other. Super cool to see them using this in rocket league.
i never watched football till this year but have watched rlcs for 5 years. crazy how similar pro rl is to real life in some aspects
If the point of the video is to educate, not to entertain, then don't listen to the losers complaining it's not entertaining.
WOOW love this
Squish when you're talking about the intentional boost grab Seikoo does even though he has 100 boost, if you notice immediately after at 24:11, Atomic is empty and going for the mid Seikoo just stole. They keep the pressure going for an additional 15 seconds because of that boost grab. Such clean rocket league.
One of the best videos ive seen in a long time. Love the analysis. Great work you legend
Stop and talk all you want sir..
Squishy teaching fundamentals to pros
BRO YOU ACTUALLY GOT SPONSORED BY PORSCHE. wholly fuck thats sick
This is what it looks like when you fully trust your teammates. I'm not familiar with this game.
Please make more of these types of videos squishy!! They are SO insightful and you are doing what you are doing perfectly! Pause as much as you need to pause. There is a point you are trying to get across and you are pausing with purpose. I can't see why people would complain so much. It's a review, not a reaction. People can get over how much you pause/rewind.
Question: Do you actually read YT chat or only Twitch chat when multi streaming because they sh!t is annoying. Literally no point in streaming to YT if your only reading Twitch chat *cough cough* Alphakep. Alot of people don't support Purple Snakes and their softcore pron site.
Really is pretty insane how OP playstyles are. I'd guess that indivdually, every player on G2 is bette than gentleM8s by a wide margin. Especially Seiko. But a better playstyle makes them the better team. Crazy.
Glad you're mixing some analysis vids in with your gameplay vids. I'm all for it dude.
As for facecam, I'm cool with it, I don't mind either way. I don't mind how much you pause either.
Thanks for doing this sqeeesheee
As a football player who dabbles in RL I've found the priority of shape to be too low in RL compared to football. It'll be great to see the next step up in top level pro RL include strict shapes!
I'm so down for Squishy's content creator era, his videos during the pandemic where what made me actually get better at the game. Maybe he will reignite my love for it, which lately has been taken away by epic games and great single player games xD
My brain does their rotations because it makes the most sense I just whiff sometimes and that's why I'm still just champ. I'll get yelled at for ball chasing just because I'm at the right spot at the right time
Crazy how you can see these things. I definitely try to do everything you say and will be drilling this into my buddies heads next time we get on! Ps run it back for the one 1 time and see how much this makes a difference 🙏🏽🤣
Im pushing for SSL this season (currently i am low GC3) and this is definitely something i will take into my games. Thanks squishy
hi, i have been playing bad recently, im c2 peak gc and i just have a big losing streak, i have a channel if you want to see what i can work on (not forcing) but if anyone has any suggestions it would be great, thanks
Is this not basic? It truly baffles me there are “pro” players that don’t all play like this and understand this basic concept on timing, positioning and spacing…
This spacing is exactly what I try to tell my teammates but instead (I’m GC btw) the guy who is supposed to be behind the 1st man (1st man=guy on ball) he instead pushes in the middle where he 1/10 times gets a shot opportunity and all the other times it’s cleared to the wall side where he should be at, or he’s middle but he’s so far in that is goes over his head and then now the 3rd man is all alone
This is proof that having mechanics doesn’t make you the best if you can’t position yourself along with your team
This is tiki taka, pioneered by Pep Guardiola at Barcelona FC, but applied to Rocket League concepts.
going to implement this with my team thats around low gc1 rn, i think we will climb a lot bc this is one thing we dont do nearly as well as we should
Wow. Impressive. I am not good but love to try to be. You make me want to try to for sure. Thank you. 🙏
Ive never really enjoyed replay analysis but this was really interesting and easy to understand
i know u guys dont like it when i pause so im gonna pause every 10 seconds to explain for 2 minutes
all im hearing is that G2 would be best in the world if they focused on positioning a little bit more
Positioning beats mechs everyday and twice on Sunday🙏
Hope many RL players watch this, so many with shaky positioning at all ranks
breakthrough analysis! we finna make it out of champ!
Rocket league is slowly by slowly adapting to football
