  • This is the story of a formerly unknown Rocket League Freestyler whose impossible shot went viral and gained over 8 million views in just 4 days. In this video I will breakdown how Tool Assisted Speedrunning (or Tool Assisted Shots) has helped players like Nape shatter the skill ceiling and take Rocket League places it has never gone before.

The switching back and forth one in particular was interesting to watch since you could see the play style change.

    2. A grand return of the rocket league show buy my car/the price is right
    3. A surprise (i genuinely cant think of something - maybe guess the chat?)
    Cheers and demos,
