Rotations in 3v3.
1st man, 2nd man, 3rd man
OFFENSE
1st man's role:
starting the offense, setting up teamates or scoring goals using solo plays, passes, 50ing the ball, or putting the ball in a difficult position to break down offense.
Once 1st man is done with whatever they attempt, they immediately rotate back to 3rd man.

3rd man's role: fill relevant spaces that 1st and 2nd man cant fill. (postioning oneself in the best position to be ready for a long shot or a chance to score by looking at where teamates and opponents are at, distancing away from teamates.) Third man rotates and becomes 2nd man when 1st man rotates back.

2nd man's role: being ready to shoot off of a pass from 1st man, or being instantly ready to become 1st man.

keep in mind that you dont always have to be the one to score off of 1st man, you can let 3rd man rotate up and hit the ball, (ONLY if 1st man is already rotating back to become 3rd man)

Defense

1st man: challenge the ball first, (smart challenge, not just jumping at the ball),
if the first man fails, this is worst case scenario. you'll be out of the play . try rotating back to 3rd man immediately.
if you can get the ball away from the opponent, recognize if your teamates can get a pass to you going down field. (outlet pass)
again, if the pass is not there, rotate back to third man again.

2nd man: playing behind the 1st man, you need to be on the ball right after 1st man challenges or else the challenge from 1st man will be all for nothing.
just banging the ball downfield will not break you out of defense. you need to go for that outlet pass to try putting some pressure on opponent.
if the outlet pass is not there, you are now the first man. you can linger down field if you lose possession of ball if you know that your teammates can follow up with a pass.

3rd man: also has the role of looking for an outlet pass. if you have teammates already on the ground covering net, get on the backboard to look for a clear.

know what role you are in.

positioning for defense:
1st man : challenging
2nd man: near post, being ready to go up side wall to contest ball or follow up on challenge to pass up ball.
3rd man: far post, defending shots always.

never go for corner boost unless you know that goal is covered.

finally the long awaited 3v3 guide has started this will surely teach me how to carry these C2 lobbies into GC

I'm low platinum and just began playing 3v3's without my friends on party, because they're on holiday. Usually we talk and fill the rolls pretty well (for plat players) but when I play random matches, my teammates always ballchase up forcing me to play third man. It's really annoying cause of course my teammates don't know what they're doing wrong, cause we all just basically started playing, and my opponents don't know how to punish when they overcommit. So because I don't want to leave my team with no third man, I rarely get goals, and constantly have to deal with my teammates saying they carried me. But ever since this video I have improved a lot, even though I still need to improve to get out of platinum!

[OMG]

The hardest struggle in diamond is that sure most people are capable at shooting the ball, saves etc. But like 30% of players don’t understand rotation and spam “what a save!” After forcing a bad touch and putting you in an awkward save position

[jamesyoof]

the callout at the start was crazy lmao. absolutely spot on, but the reason i dont play 3v3 is cuz i dont have a 3rd teammate :(

[AtJasqify]

good video brother! Maybe this'll be what FINALLY pushes me past c3 div 4 for once..

[Average-Lizard]

Nice vid. I love this kind of content even though there are a lot of guides out there, this is a nice updated take.

I like hearing how you think about the game, like the shark.
I use the term “venomous” like a snake, to get in the 2nd man mindset haha, so that really resonated.

Keep up the good work!

11:40, reading timmy - i have watched my teammates start on the ground on defense so i go backboard, but they then drive up the backboard as the ball gets closer and now we're double coverage high with nobody low

[Mr_SLW_Graffitti]

hey zach its been great watching your videos and applying the info to my plahstyle its helped alot im now G.C 3 div 2 thanks to your info and my grinding !i was one that cocky play that got destroyed by YOuMayBeSeated on your stream haha ive learnt alot since .. keep up the great work man

[musix]

3v3 is all about team positioning. If your team isn’t on the same page, you’re not going to win.

[stonehengemaca]

What I see is 2nd man double committing and even taking the ball from 1st man and then NOT rotating back to 3rd man. Putting the entire team out of position. The best thing to do when learning rotation in 3s is just to leave 1st man alone to do whatever they want with the ball, be it fake the opposition, dribble or smack the ball upfield. You have to have faith in your team, or don't play with them.. If you're going to take the ball from 1st man every time 1st man isn't doing the play you want, then how is that going to succeed?! Play 2nd man and wait to pick up the play where 1st man leaves it. Then it's your turn to be left alone to do what you want with the play and THEN rotate back to 3rd man. The current 3rd man can see the whole field and is wanting to come forward to support 1st man or be 1st man.

I'm not used to this type of editing. But I really like it, and as someone who is gc2 in 2s and c2 in 3s, it's really helpful. Thank you! ❤

[malcolmburr]

Fantastic vid man can’t wait for the next !

[Snikern]

hehe good video bro. this is high lvl stuff for maybe 60-70% playerbase . the clip you added 11.40 with the yellow arrows.
you should add that in the next guide 3v3 . many players got much to learn here

[marshallteach]

I really struggle with this in diamond. We are slow to rotate so I rarely feel safe enough to move forward and leave my position as third man, I don't trust my teammates to be back in time to defend, plus they often simply won't rotate at all so that makes me even more hesitant to transition into offense when I should.

[bigd.productions]

wow. honestly amazing content, im in gc right now and have been for a while. this really helps! banger vid!

[ChaseYoungFan]

you really don't get enough credit my man, your videos are so damn helpful! 1/3 of my 75+ page rocket league notebook is notes i took from videos of yours. i credit you to getting me out of gold in 3s ngl

[romanus]

Good content Zac, i wish players would actually do that… but chasing is the best way to p’ay apparently… thx man

[ian-thrd]
