former top 100 and ssl, great video. What helped me out almost the past decade of playing RL is understanding and having the mentality that it’s never just your teammates fault, if your teammate whiffed an easy save you could go back several plays before that happened to where you could’ve done something different to have prevented your teammate to be in that position. Bronze- GC3 even low mmr SSL, if you put any one of your favorite pro players in one of those lobbies, they would win 99% of the time even with “bad” teammate/s. You can always improve and do something different even if you felt like your teammate/s costed you the game. If you feel like it’s always your teammates fault, you WILL be hardstuck and be very slow at improving. Also you can find replays online of pros playing and watch their POV in any game mode and try your best to replicate and build their habits. if u make it to gc3, I’ll be there to make sure you don’t get past that. GL and Get good nerds.

The best tip I have gotten in anything in life even in rocket league is to stay calm. The higher rank you go the more pressure that could put potentially be put on you on defense. And you will definetly run into intense ot or close games. Learning how to control your nerves even a little is huge. Also if you are tilted get off. You won't have fun playing if your angry and the odds of you going on a winstreak tilt qing is extremely low. Also amazing video bro

I’ve been ssl since the rank came out and I think this is a very solid tips video. I agree with nearly everything he said for most players.

I want to tell people watching this that if your awareness of the game is not good enough, that will prevent you implementing these tips. I don’t think he explicitly mentioned awareness so I wanted to tell you guys. Make sure your eyes track the other players cars a lot in the game so you know what’s happening. If you don’t know where your teammate is or how the opposing team is positioned it is so hard to implement these tips. So make sure to do that too!

Something that has helped me is single jumping when you 50/50 or when you catch the ball. It helps take control of it without booming it to the other team. Hard stuck in c2 rn

[xx-ylnq]

i've been stuck around high c2 - low c3 for a while now and this was the exact video I've been needing to change my perspective on twos. Great video and I think these tips will allow me to hit GC eventually!

W video lets see how many MMR I will gain in a week. Started at 1131 MMR

Day 1 MMR: 1131 > 1112
Today was a good day even though I lost MMR. I did great in 1s and even won a 2s tourney.

Day 2 MMR: 1112 > 1141
Played with my friend in diamond 2/3 and we won every game we played.

Day 3 MMR: 1141 > 1112
I played a lot, like 30 games. 20 of those games where 2v2 and I was pretty even it was just a few games that were bad.

Day 4 MMR: 1112 > 1103
Like yesterday I played a lot of games. Sadly today had a terrible start, but I evened it out when I got my diamond 2/3 friend to play and we won most games.

Day 5 MMR: 1103 > 1078
Enough is enough. Tomorrow I'm gonna lock in...

Day 6 MMR: 1078 > 1054
Tomorrow were getting + 100 MMR minimum.

Day 7 MMR: 1054 > 1032
So I learned a lot from your video, but I couldn't translate it to my games. Somehow my 1s became a lot better and I gained about 100 MMR. I think this is my start of my villan arc and I will reach 1300.

I will update this comment if anything big happens.

About 10 days later I'm back at 1130 MMR looking to go for a new peak (1200+ MMR) and watch this amazing video again.

About 30 days later from last update so I went up 200 MMR or so in 1s and I'm diamond 3, remember I was low diamond 1 when this video posted.

im currently hitting my peak at 1370ish, and knowing all of this so clearly makes me think i can get high gc1, at least. This was brilliantly explained and has inspired me to look more at my mistakes so that I can fix them. Thank you sir for a great video!

[jacksonminglin]

I have peaked gc, 2 1/2 years ago. I remember rotations but this helped me get a complete understanding rather than, “first man goes for pressure and forced hits, second man back for the possession and save forced hits”. If I’m solo queuing low rank again and have the problem “rotate tm8” I’ll just tell them to watch this video and maybe it’ll help them.

[matsvb]

Perfect video. I'm a peak ~1600 in 2s and a long time player. I haven't watched a tip video in many years since they seem to be focused on the lower ranks where development and change can be quick. This gave me new perspectives on certain situations and things I can majorly aprove on. Ready to get back in the grind!

[peacefullzombies]

Honestly you did really well at summarizing that. I never got lost watching this and I usually get lost in the sauce ☠️

[froggotheboi]

very highly recommend listening to this video. Skyrocketed from gold one to almost plat three just on this advice. After being hardstuck so long, I really needed this. Thank you tuff <3

[professorvalk]

I’ve made it to champ this season finally been hard stuck plat. I’ve never been a scorer but I know rotates passes clears saves etc. so my buddy started playing again and he’s really aggressive and our chemistry is really good.

[andrewbyrne]

This is the only actual guide to improving past champ. I've been stuck in champ for about 600 hours now and only after really taking the advice from this video have I started winning games by 5+ goals with about an 80% win rate

[Tnr]

@5:35, the puzzle piece that made it click for me back in the days was something you touched on, but didn't highlight enough imo. Following the speed/pace of what's going on ahead of you. You can close in if the play slows down because pinches, 50s etc. will most likely not go too far away. And if it does you can still catch up to it by rotating back. Creeping up on the situation but following and paying notice to the pace and trying to sync with that type of play in situations where it slows down, and understanding/experimenting with that probably pushed me up by 1-2 ranks on its own. It's a trial and error thing you get better at with experience for sure, but replay analysis and keeping this in the back of your mind is enough for it to click with time and focus

[dundergames]

only guide you'll ever need, points ut towards other guides at the end

[Vivo-cprb]

I'm consuming so much rocket League content, I already knew all of the tips and actively try to apply them but I am still hard stuck D3 😭😭😭

[XLW.EDITS]

My friend we do 2v2s and I almost always lose, and it gets me wondering, and this vid helped me realize he wasnt trusting me and when ever I had the ball, he would just sit back in defense waiting for the ball to come to him

[megazerorl]

One more point that wasn't directly mentioned, that is quite crucial for the higher level and is what makes higher level players seem more in control of lower level lobbies is what I call (and comm), "Regroup/Regrouping". While the obvious point of when you are last as second man you need to stall for your first man to get back applies to this. This also goes the other way, for example:
[the opponents just got both of their corner boosts and are full. You have the ball in their half with control, but you know your teammate flipped back further and is in the opposite corner.]
Here is the perfect example of where you need to decide whether: you are capable of stalling the ball for your teammate to come up field with you, you are not capable of stalling thus need to bring the ball back with you or back pass, or neither are applicable and you need to concede possession to favor "regrouping" usually resulting in your teammate challenging first due to positioning. Conceding possession is never the best option here, BUT it is not the worse option. Despite it being your teammates decision to go all the way back for boost (when he could've stayed closer with 3-4 pads) you are still at fault if you rush in and the leave him in a 1v2. While you cannot control your teammates actions you can adapt to them and control the game yourself rather than letting it be out of your control.

Great video Tuff, it was really easy to understand and take in!

I peaked at mid D3 in 2s and low C1 in 3s in Season 6 of F2P (2022) but I started playing RL in March 2016 and I also used to play SARPBC since 2009 so I've always felt like I've never really achieved the ranks my history in SARPBC/RL could've afforded me, but now I'm more aware that that's down to me, especially now that I'm currently Plat 3 in 2s and Diamond 1 in 3s 💀 (I took a year out from consistent gaming because I felt burnt out)

I'm really going to take your tips on board and do my best to climb past my previous peak ranks over the next few seasons with this new understanding of how defence should work in 2s, as well as playing more ranked 1s, with the hope of being an more impactful player in the future 😊

Keep up the informative videos, I've subbed so I hope to see more of them 😃

[MitsuoRLCoach]

Former gc3, 9 year player and long time competitive coach and trainer for Rocket League here, very glad to see such concise and relevant tips to actually ranking up and earning that reward of winning rather than just guessing at what you could improve at. Pros don’t guess. They know. Fulfill your roles to be impactful in your 2v2 matches just like you would fulfill your role at your job or your relationships. That’s how a functioning mechanism works and the keys to success are found.
