[shadow kite]

Me after my opponent speed flips on kickoff

[oak perch]

Me after I see a plat do a reset

[shadow kite]

How do I see my hours

[nocturne breach]

delay the kick off and you clap his confidence

[meager gull]

you didn’t count ?

[nocturne breach]

but is in his own net

[shadow kite]

Never

[nocturne breach]

gotta count them hours on fingers

if you lose the count, you lose the hour track

[oak perch]

No plats are insane now days I seen one do a reset into my goal and I left immediately, I'm not trying to learn controller like that 😭

I'm a kbm player I'll stick with that

[meager gull]

i put a stripe on my wall every hour life hack

I can do quad flip reset double tap psycho

But no

Wrong emoji

[mortal quail]

If you have a replay/recording, you can send it to me and I can give pointers

[timber yacht]

I can get one rq gimme like 6 min

[shadow kite]

I figured it out wooo

[cyan sage]

I’m dia 3 hard stuck anyone can help me?

[hollow pecan]

gotcha

[timber yacht]

Sent a dm

[halcyon crest]

define hard stuck

[cyan sage]

I’m gold 3 in 3s. Guess my 2s rank

[versed topaz]

Higher or lower then your 3s rank?

[cyan sage]

Just take a guess

[versed topaz]

Plat 2?

[cyan sage]

Champ 2

[versed topaz]

DAMN

Your higher ranked then me in 2s

[cyan sage]

In 1s im diamond 2

[dusky fiber]

Just play defensive and go for powershots, u will easily get higher this way

[cyan sage]

Guess my 2s rank

[timber yacht]

Bronze 1

[cyan sage]

💀

[timber yacht]

Great guess Ngl

[cyan sage]

But how am I champ 2 in 2s but gold 3 in 3s that makes no sense

[timber yacht]

I’m plat in 2s but play like silver in 3s

[dusky fiber]

If u play it enough u get higher, if u rlly hardstuck there i would make myself some thoughts ngl

[cyan sage]

Ik

Normally my 1s rank is the same as my 2s rank and my 3s rank is down in the trenches lol. What does that say about me?

[dusky fiber]

Prob that u are not good at Rotation and cant solo carry, thats why i would play defensive and go for powershots, stay behind, u should easily be able to defend against gold, if not i would recommend more practice in defense

[cyan sage]

Then how come I’m champ 2

[timber yacht]

But your gold in 3s💀

[cyan sage]

Yeah

[dusky fiber]

2s is diffrent then 3s

Other things are more important

[cyan sage]

My defense is really good. Only issue is half of the time I’m not in the net because I trust my teammate to save it then he whiffs

[timber yacht]

Air dribble over em then

[bleak otter]

could someone watch one of my rerplays and tell me what i need to work on im c2 div 2 rn solo qd to it went from diamond 3 to c2 div 3 peek so far

[timber yacht]

No gold saving a champ air dribble

[dusky fiber]

How do u trust people in gold lol, play defensive, stay in net, easy win, its rlly that easy

[cyan sage]

No. In 2s

[timber yacht]

We talking about 3s not 2s

[dusky fiber]

Yh, i thought thats your issue, not 2s

[cyan sage]

Oh. Tbf I was diamond in 3s on an alt before

[timber yacht]

Why you in gameplay tips then

[cyan sage]

The higher my rank is the better I play because I can actually coordinate with my team

[timber yacht]

[cyan sage]

In 3s I can’t even get a shot off because I’m constantly being bumped

[dusky fiber]

U overthink, play defensive

[cyan sage]

But my play style is like really aggressive lol

[dusky fiber]

But if u cant carry in gold its time to go in defense, if they dont score u will not loose, and if u are rlly champ then defending against gold should be free elo

[cyan sage]

Hmmmm. I could. If maybe like everyone in the lobby didn’t decide they want to bump me

[bleak otter]

could someone watch one of my rerplays and tell me what i need to work on im c2 div 2 rn solo qd to it went from diamond 3 to c2 div 3 peek so far

[dusky fiber]

U should be able to dodge against gold players, if not look more around u to get more awareness

[cyan sage]

Honestly just jump

The only reason I look around is to find my teammates. Oh wait. I forgot. My teammates are all like in the exact same place as me

[dusky fiber]

But then thats a rotation issue, if u have the same rotation then golds try other ways

[cyan sage]

Also. I’m used to playing against champs. When playing against golds idk what to do because I’m anticipating high level shots

[dusky fiber]

U need to be in goal and play defensive, go for powershots and dont drive forward, its rlly easy like that, dont behave like u have to carry, u will easily get dia with that trust me

[cyan sage]

But that’s kinda boring. Also what’s the deal with the more teammates I have the worse my mechanics are?

[dusky fiber]

Obv its boring, but if u are stuck that elo its the easiest way

[cyan sage]

Oh

I’m plat 2 but I should be like low c3

That’s in rumble tho

[cobalt crane]

[proud halo]

[pallid sigil]

I'm coming back from a 2 year break from this game and I want to come back full force. I want to hit the rank I haven't been able to hit before (champion) and I just want some sort of training pack(s), videos, coaching, tips, etc. (basically anything you can provide to me)

[mortal quail]

First step would be to find a routine to where you can play as much as you can. Focus on being able to just play for 2 hours a day for week (this includes packs, freeplay, and ranked) after you can do that, you can look up youtube tutorials or ask here for tips/coaching

[fluid coral]

Want champ play the game more roughly 1k games per season youll get it this season or next, if you want to speed it up, do airiel training packs like rings, for 10 mins focus alot on power shots and bounce dribbles, but if you want it in 2s get a tm8 you can do mid field to close net passes.

[rugged trout]

I've picked up the game a week or two back and have been looking at tutorials and training packs, but I feel a bit aimless in what I'm learning. Looking for any kind of comprehensive course that has an order of what you learn? Is that a thing?

[raw ruin]

teaching anyone mechanics

[nocturne breach]

.

.

[raw ruin]

i dont stall but i can help you @nocturne breach

[nocturne breach]

how

[rugged trout]

Oh, and if it's genuinely good and useful, I'm willing to pay. Just not sure who or what is reputable and looking for direction.

[cobalt crane]

maybe @severe arch

[nocturne breach]

the mechanic lord himself

[nocturne breach]

are you on pc?

3x triple resets in a row, i broke the curse

[rugged trout]

Ps5

?

[nocturne breach]

do all training packs

if they seem too easy, skip them

if they are too hard for you, that's what you have to practice

[cyan sage]

I’m gold 3 but I should be champ 2

[nocturne breach]

i am high c3 but i should be d2, nice to meet you

[golden ivy]

no

[cyan sage]

Yes

Explain how I don’t deserve c2

[golden ivy]

your gold

[raw ruin]

im gold 1 but i deserve gc2

my teamates are holding me back!

[fluid coral]

same but im plat 2 i think i can get champ 3

[cyan sage]

My teammates quite literally push me back lol.

[raw ruin]

i can mustard flick!'

[fluid coral]

for me its my skill honestly such a pain

I can hit the ball twice towards the net in a row

[raw ruin]

wtf

[cyan sage]

No like in game they literally push me back lol

[raw ruin]

you should be ssl

[fluid coral]

cracked am i right

😎

[cyan sage]

I’m skilled for c2 but I’m stuck in gold 3

[rugged trout]

I've been doing a bunch of them and they're pretty solid, I was thinking that if I'm working on long term skills, learning strategies and mechanics properly without bad habits I'd need to learn later was probably a good call though

[nocturne breach]

what is your rank

[cobalt crane]

[rugged trout]

Ha, I don't have one. I've spent the vast majority of my time in trainings, free play, or against bots while I tried to put things together. I'm actually about to start my placement matches

[raw ruin]

helping anyone with either mechanics or gamesense

[rugged trout]

I wouldn't mind the help, but mildly skeptical since you've been in the server for literally one day lol

[raw ruin]

i got kicked for my name so i had to change it

cant have just .

[rugged trout]

Ahh fair enough. I'm on PS5 if that matters, but like yeah I could use all the help I can get lol. I'm still very very new.

[raw ruin]

thats fine whats your epic

[rugged trout]

Hell if I know. I set that up years ago. Let me find out, one sec.

[raw ruin]

at home press right trigger to open friends list then its at the top

[rugged trout]

Oh cool, it's just my gamer tag it looks like. Callidous

[raw ruin]

i invited you @rugged trout

[rugged trout]

Gimme one sec.

[rugged trout]

I'll have to hit you up another time, if that's alright. I think my wife took my headphones to work with her

[raw ruin]

all good @rugged trout

[rugged trout]

And of course the PS can't connect directly to normal Bluetooth headphones. Bleh

[fluid coral]

YEA 1v1 isnt skill based atleast not for me, I get the whole consistancy bs, and ive spent thousands of hours perfecting my 1v1 playstyle, PMs or i go up to champ 2 in 1v1s, and ranked ive hit c1div4 several times, Id say im a 100% champ 1s player undebateable, yet for some ungodly reason its impossible fo rme to rank outa diamond 2 since 50% of my games are determined By Microseconds worth of mistakes that are humanly impossible for me to change, or simply just horrible timing or a stupid challenge at the right time for the oponent wich is a guess, I know this sounds like one of those" I ShOuLd Be GC cUx ThIS and ThAt" but its not, Im pretty sure its just me havent met anybody else like this who could prove it, but im sure there has to be but till, i stop getting 1:480000 input drowns from ping or this or that, tthings that are crazy rare to happen to me 30 times in 1 game, im quiting 1v1s gbye gc3 never gonna reach my dream of gc in 1s and aspirations of ssl :D,
Would you recomend 1v1s to others
Yes its a great gamemode and ive improved alot ever since i started playing it, i spent hours perfecting many skills in their, however there comes a point for me atleast where you play, loose , and learn nothing, cuz the reason you lost doesnt make sence and there is nothing you could haev done, not cuz your oponent outplayed you simply cuz you cnt contact with the ball

[velvet mirage]

youre gc3 in another mode but D2 in 1s?

[mortal quail]

That was a whole lot of nothing, but I got you struggling in d2 1s?
Stop trying to perfect a 1s style and find your own style

[frank pewter]

how did your research on the ranked system end up going a couple weeks ago

[mortal quail]

TLDR: the only common thing i see is the players who deranked didn't play any other mode but 2s, or the 1s and 3s rank were much lower (3+ ranks). Most however duo queued to the peak rank but there was a few who solo queued

[cyan sage]

in 1s?

thats crazy

[cobalt crane]

1s not being skill based is a crazy take

[nocturne breach]

good luck

[cyan sage]

its not that it isnt skilled its just that a lot of it depends on kickoffs

[velvet mirage]

which are about skill, if you have a perfect kickoff, react perfectly to the dodge, and recover perfectly, you will win every kickoff

[cyan sage]

winning every kickoff is impossible in reality

[cobalt crane]

kickoff is a skill

[velvet mirage]

yes, but you can still make it a large number, if your kickoff is better than your opponents, youre gonna win more kickoffs

[cyan sage]

kickoffs are rock paper scissors

if you cover something there will be something other that opens up

[velvet mirage]

as somebody who wins more kickoffs than i lose, this is cap.

[cyan sage]

even appjack said it

[velvet mirage]

and yet appjack is playing at the peak of rocket league where it really may be like that.

but if you were to go against him, hed win. a lot.

[mortal quail]

Kickoff in 3s is rock paper scissor
In 1s you can in theory win majority of it
However in 1s, you can be terrible at everything else but kickoffs and still be high champ/gc

[velvet mirage]

precisely

[cobalt crane]

and in 2s there are people who are terrible at everything but aerial mechs that are gc

[mortal quail]

2s takes no skill

[cobalt crane]

and in 3s there are people who are terrible at everything but positioning that are gc

[mortal quail]

3s is cap

[cyan sage]

but can you get gc2 with just aerial mechs

[cobalt crane]

im not gonna lie, its more the terrible at everything but aerial mechs and ballchasing i see in gc 3s games

[cobalt crane]

and you can get it without any aerial mechs as well

[mortal quail]

terrible but even in those ranks the other mechs are much more refined

[cyan sage]

how when everyone at like 1500+ 2s is flip resetting

[cobalt crane]

i did it myself on console no less, i assure you its possible

[mortal quail]

Flip resetting isn't a 100%

I got to 1540 without resets or air dribbling

[cyan sage]

i mean its possible but you would need to be a game sense god or smt

[cobalt crane]

not really

[mortal quail]

And cjohn is that

[cobalt crane]

people are dumb in gc1

and if you can save aerial play you can usually win

[cyan sage]

but thats the problem, they are good with the ball in the air so its not really that easy to save

[mortal quail]

Backboard

[cobalt crane]

then you arent positioning properly

[velvet mirage]

yea backboard makes it relatively easy, i usually just cut them off from the ceiling or before they can get settled in the air

[cyan sage]

i know one challenges the other stays at ground but sometimes my teammate commits with me

[mortal quail]

Then your challenging way too late

You either go immediately or let teammate go

[velvet mirage]

mhm, you take too long so they decide to go instead

[warped moat]

you switched to pc?

[cobalt crane]

yes

[warped moat]

How was the difference

I peaked 1700s on ps4

And now 1500s

[cobalt crane]

feels nice, i definetly feel more in control

[warped moat]

Did u rank up

[cobalt crane]

not peak but where i can consistently sit did

[ruby hill]

Hi, I’m an active rl coach for msg esports currently coaching a gc2 and gc3 team in 2s and 3s. I am open for 30 minute or 1 hour sessions if anyone is looking to improve their game. Dm me if you’re interested and we can discuss further.

[meager gull]

i peaked +200mmr after switching from ps4 to pc

also motivated me to grind like crazy so that’s probably also an important factor

[warped moat]

Wow 200 mmr is crazy what rank tho

[meager gull]

i was 1800ish on ps4

this was pre f2p

switched in s14 i think

maybe 13

[karmic cobalt]

Yo can anyone teach me how to air dribble and stuff i'm new only have like 30-40 hours

[velvet mirage]

shouldnt be air dribbling

[karmic cobalt]

What do I focus on

[cyan sage]

casual?

[velvet mirage]

playing, getting experience and learning to hit the ball

[warped moat]

Why will he say his casual mmr

[karmic cobalt]

I run casual 3v3s a lot should I continue to ranked 1v1s or what do I do

[velvet mirage]

whatever mode you find fun, you can go into ranked if you want

[karmic cobalt]

Oh alr thanks

[meager gull]

lmao

[meager gull]

if you want to improve fast, yes

[karmic cobalt]

Ok bet

[swift solstice]

how do i get out of c3 into gc

im hardstuck champ

[meager gull]

dont throw away possession

[swift solstice]

i dont

should i just find a duo

i solo q

[meager gull]

i count stuff like dribbling it into the opponent as throwing it away

[swift solstice]

wdym? i dont dribble it "into" the opponent i usually take it up the wall, flick it, or pass it

[meager gull]

what i see a lot in c3 is unnecessary booming the ball away or wasting possession by keeping the ball close but not really doing anything

if you grind some 1s for a while you’ll probably get gc cause you will be able to make better plays

[swift solstice]

i play 1s like a lot

what rank are you? like ssl?

[meager gull]

used to be. don’t play much anymore

[swift solstice]

my defense and rotations are good. so is my offense. it just seems that solo qing is just unlucky w/ tm8s

i had a game today where me and my opponents were 1380 mmr while my tm8 whas only 1300

i just do nt know what to do

[meager gull]

wow c3 is that dead these days? this game really dying

[meager gull]

getting a perm tm8 obviously would make things a whole lot easier but it’s not a must to get gc

[swift solstice]

idk i guess im just bad. ive never hit gc

peak is c3 div 4

i mean the best mech i can do is a reset musty double. i think thats enough mechs to get to at least gc1

[meager gull]

nah you’re not bad they nerfed ranks after s10 so you kinda got unlucky with that too

i think c3 is like top 2%

[swift solstice]

im rn top 3.6%

thats what rl tracker says at least

[meager gull]

Trn is not accurate if that’s where you got it from

yea

[swift solstice]

oh

so should i just look for a duo

[meager gull]

the devs post the rank distribution on reddit every season, last szn c3 was top 1,2% just checked

[meager gull]

you could but idk if you’re gonna find one on this server

idk what 6mans is like these days but that might be a better option

[swift solstice]

when i was c1 i remember this person saying on discord that they were c1 but they were actually d1

i was planning on joining that soon actually

[mortal quail]

Find a duo when you solo queue
Then party up

[swift solstice]

i try but they always panic in games 2-4

like missing an open net or a save thats right to them. i guess the nerves get to them ig

[mortal quail]

You have to learn that mistakes will happen

[swift solstice]

it feels like im against ex gcs and with tm8s that are fresh to c3

i ahve like 2k+ hrs so i dont think its me but idk. i play consistant

i always play well tih other steam players i feel like epic players are worse

[mortal quail]

Don't have that mindset, if your better
You'll eventually rank up

[swift solstice]

thats probably true. i dont trust my tm8s a lot of the time.

[meager gull]

its in your head

c3 is c3

[swift solstice]

so should i play defense and rotations more? not really trying to score?

[cyan sage]

anyone wanna coach me during a tournament? im in semi's

[swift solstice]

what rank

[cyan sage]

im c1 but it;'s a diamond tourney

[swift solstice]

what mode

[cyan sage]

2's

[swift solstice]

pressure the opponents

[cyan sage]

im winning

[swift solstice]

nice

[cyan sage]

i was wondering if someone can like watch the gameplay

see if my rotations and shi is okay

[swift solstice]

how

[cyan sage]

by watching it

[swift solstice]

but how do i watch it. like do u have a yt or ttv

[cyan sage]

just live streamed on discord

in a voice call

[swift solstice]

alr where do i see that im new sorry

[cyan sage]

we need to make a voice call

[swift solstice]

hmmm im only c3 rn idk if i can help tho

[cyan sage]

idk either m8

[swift solstice]

what tips do you want i can try to help

[cyan sage]

btw is it only me or is everytime i join the semifinals the servers are like unable to join or something

[cyan sage]

i think imma do it

[swift solstice]

do what

[swift solstice]

and idk i dont think that happens to me

[chilly sapphire]

hi i havent played before but i want to be alr so i can play with my bf does anyone have any beginner tips?

[swift solstice]

play free play for at least 30 mins

[leaden tartan]

Well what rank is your bf?

Not gonnna be much help tho

Tips to fix the ranking system? 😂

[swift solstice]

LOL i wish

bro im hardstuck c3

[swift solstice]

what rank is your bf? it would help

[chilly sapphire]

lemme ask him rq

diamond 3

idrk how the system works lol

[swift solstice]

so its bronze 1,2,3 silver 1,2,3 gold 1,2,3 and so on

its bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond, champion, grand champion, and super sonic legend.

it would take a while for you to get d3 though. took me about 500-600 hrs.

[chilly sapphire]

ohh kk i get it

[chilly sapphire]

oh wow

[swift solstice]

just play have fun and keep your cool.

i have 2k+ hrs rn im champion 3

[chilly sapphire]

that’s pretty good

[swift solstice]

wait did you just change your name?

[chilly sapphire]

yes lol mb

can you play with people different ranks to you?

[swift solstice]

lol its fine

[untold escarp]

some people burn thru it in 100 hours tbf

[swift solstice]

uhm in casual yes. in rank there is a such as rank disparity

[untold escarp]

uh yeah you can

there's casual tho so u can play that instead

[swift solstice]

ok bro did you play on a hp laptop then or pc?

[untold escarp]

swear 2v2 doesn't have rank dispar

only 3s

[swift solstice]

maybe idk

[untold escarp]

either way cas is probably more fun

[swift solstice]

what rank r you memfir

[untold escarp]

at peak gc2

i don't really play anymore

when i mean don't really play i mean i don't play essentially at all

[swift solstice]

essentially?

klara fyi you can also only play ranked if you have an acount level of 10 or higher

[untold escarp]

i hop on for a couple games with friends every so often

[meager gull]

not if tm8 starts the match

[sterile zealot]

Why are my tm8s so bad

[hollow yacht]

Yo question for y'all. My friends and I have been debating a 3s rotational issue. Say I'm first man defending the net. The opponent is in a position to reach the ball and have time to do something with it before I could make it if I challenged immediately. Second man is behind me at back post. Is the better play to push out immediately even if I don't really know what the opponent is going to do with the ball because 2nd is behind OR is the better play to wait just a single second to get a better understanding of what the opponent wants/can do with the ball before making the challenge?

[sterile zealot]

If there's somebody behind you and it's 3s go immediately

[untold escarp]

so ur saying first man is in the net

but eh, why are they in net - they shouldn't be

[meager gull]

you should’ve gone

[untold escarp]

first man should be gone outta net while 2nd covers while 3rd is getting boost or 2nd follows 1st out (responsibly) while 3rd covers net

[hollow yacht]

I'm saying they rotated back post and then pushed up towards front post to challenge. Must I challenge immediately or can I wait a second to better determine what the opponet wants / can do with the ball when he gains possession.

[untold escarp]

if ur first man just run at the ball make sure it's quick but obviously don't be dumb there's a fine line between dumb challenge and fast challenge

you don't really need to see "what they're doing" that much just make sure you're not obviously going to get flicked or gotten otherwise balled

a 50 in ur favor is probably a good outcome or maybe possession if applicable

[mortal quail]

Once you have a teammate behind you, you need to go in 3s

[untold escarp]

ur net is safe realistically so jus leave

[hollow yacht]

Is it a bad play if I slow down just a second to make my challenge better

[untold escarp]

if ur too slow yes 100%

[fallow jay]

kinda, depends on how slow youre making it

[meager gull]

Yes

[mortal quail]

That depends, if your slow you have to adjust
If your fast just go and force a play

[hollow yacht]

How slow is too slow? How do I know I waited too long?

[untold escarp]

if you get a shit early challenge you fucked up ur opponent enough to get your teammates to hop in

[untold escarp]

case by case basis, this isn't like other games where there's a set statistic

[mortal quail]

When they get it past you and have a good shot on net

[hollow yacht]

Fair

[untold escarp]

however if they have a reset in the air with the ball or something you gotta just run

[fallow jay]

if theres a teammate behind you any kind of slow is too slow

[chilly sapphire]

oh ok ty

[swift solstice]

welcome gl klara!

[hollow yacht]

Yeah I'm aware if they're in the air and in control of the ball, I need to challenge. I would only wait a second if they dont have possession, but will gain it before I get there. I want to see the ball bounce, or land, or their trajectory so I can make a more informed and higher probablility challenge.

[untold escarp]

if you're playing suboptimally your conscious attempt to slow down is going to be way too slow

[mortal quail]

Stop doing this in 3s

[hollow yacht]

What's your rank?

[fallow jay]

you cant always wait for those though, sometimes in 3s you just have to throw yourself at the ball and hope you hit it

[meager gull]

You make it sound like you’re waiting for them to control the ball before challenging which is what you shouldn’t be doing in 3s

[mortal quail]

2s it's fine, in 3s just go and force
Your being selfish by waiting in 3s

You have 2 other teammates, just go

[untold escarp]

idk if ur just looking for the right answer to argue against ur m8s point but in reality this is an issue in every video game

person has 2 choices, safe choice and risky choice
by choosing the safe choice they feel smarter individually
the safe choice can detriment your team therefore making the risky choice (not really risky if you get better) the better option by far in value even if it goes poor

the safe choice allows you to think "i was being smart by doing x y z!!!" but in reality you were just losing value

value being ya know, how you benefit the play

risky is like a -3 if it goes wrong and a +5 if it goes right while the safe is guarenteed a 0 or if not like a -5 or lower

[meager gull]

plat 3

[untold escarp]

weird terminology because im not a real coach but ye

ballchase ur ass off in 3s once ur in rotation

[hollow yacht]

Oh nice sick!

[meager gull]

yea wbu

[mortal quail]

Your still right tho lol
In 3s there is very little risk, you not going just messes up teammates rotations as by the time the ball lands, there is 2 people behind.

Thats what happened with NRG
They played very safe and used counter attacks and mechanics to score. Once that was countered, they would never leave defense

[hollow yacht]

Diamond 3ish

[meager gull]

nice

[cyan sage]

can you trust your 2 solo queue mates

[mortal quail]

Sometimes, usually I'll trust one and not the other

Not trusting both leads me in bad spots

[cyan sage]

Anyone know how I get out of diamond i am hard stuck

[dawn pond]

what platform r u on?

[cyan sage]

Pc

Steam

[mortal quail]

Diamond: Stop tilt queueing, give your teammate space, get better at punishing your opponents. This can be done with good shooting and reads. Starting defending off backboard and get better at doing it. See the enemy up high, go backboard. Get better at basic aerials and wall touches as these can be vital. Get better at offense without sacrificing defense

[dawn pond]

cocos aim trainer

the workshop

and as ero said defense like shadow defense and backboard defense

[cyan sage]

Aight

[dawn pond]

and play 1s

[cyan sage]

Thanks imma try my best

[dawn pond]

prob the best way to practise

[cyan sage]

Yes

[vivid stratus]

me too plz

[vivid stratus]

plz how to get out

of gold

[fierce heath]

can anyone help me out with controller settings, just switching from keyboard and mouse

[vivid stratus]

basically, boost is r1, forward is r2, backward l2, powerslide l1, jump A, air roll left is your left circular button and air roll right is your right circular button, leaderboard I have as left d-pad, ball cam for me is Y, air roll itself is l2(dw it will only work in the air) and steering left and right is your left joystick

[fierce heath]

thanks for that

and btw is l1 lb for xbox?

[cyan sage]

man dont listen to that advice

pick ur own controls

[thick terrace]

can anyone help me rank up?

[analog hazel]

Hey does anyone have a good controller keybinds, it’s for Xbox, or a video from a YouTube that has good controller keybinds

[analog hazel]

I tried that it’s a bit weird for my car

[echo stirrup]

Is hoops a good way to train ariels

[sterile zealot]

No not really

[echo stirrup]

Explain

[ember surge]

ya ik freeplay is not a way to get better

only work on my freestyles

[grand holly]

The best way to train aerials is through both training and custom training. Here are two great videos that will go more in-depth:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YtxID9OgRQ

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed8owajA0Lc

[echo stirrup]

I'm at the stage where I've got Ariel's to a usable state bit I'm hesitant in games to use it

So I'm using hoops to get rid of the hesitency

Same with implementing my halfflicks

[grand holly]

Hesitance is a result of caring about the result of the game. When you are learning a new skill, the result doesn't matter, exposure matters. Hoops has different physics and will likely hurt your performance more than it will help.

[peak merlin]

just play 1v1 as a warm up

[grand holly]

1s does not produce the exposure needed to practice or remove hesitancy, even at higher level, unfortunately.

[peak merlin]

it does i cant lie

i try new mechs in 1s

then when i get good it will go into 2v2

[grand holly]

Aerials are far more relevant in 2s and 3s than they are in 1s, and obviously, the main focus of a selected custom training. I think dribbling is best practiced in 1v1, and those mechanics surrounding it, but in regards to aerials, 1s is not the best practice.

[peak merlin]

wdym your still going up for the ball

so it still helps

lmfao

if he miss the ball it will be in the net so it will teach him to hit it consistently

plus in 1s you get more time on the ball so he can improve really fast on everything

[grand holly]

Yes, but practice, in this instance, is a numbers game. You want to produce the highest repatition in the shortest amount of time.

[peak merlin]

this guy lol

[tiny patrol]

Is anyone here a freestyler?

[peak merlin]

the more he plays the better he will be at ariels and halfflips

[grand holly]

Yes, but you want to be playing and doing the right things. That's what deliberate learning is. If you just play the game, you'll likely end up where most people are. Pros are deliberate with how they train. That's how they maintain and improve skill.

[peak merlin]

bro you dont get what im saying if he only wants to train ariels and halfflips you can do that in game and freeplay and in everything

it wont take him long

[grand holly]

I get exactly what you are saying. I'm just suggesting that he should do it in the best way, and not just any way, as you are suggesting.

[grand holly]

What won't take him long? The skill cap on aerials is near infinite. The difference between a diamond aerialing and an ssl is extreme.

[peak merlin]

the best way is just actually playing the game the more hours he puts in the consistency goes up it

or custom training packs

or he could watch youtube tutorials

[dreamy rover]

I keep getting hard stuck d3, what do I need to do to make sure I stay constantly in champ?

[grand holly]

All 3 of which I suggested. I'm just trying to get him to do it in a deliberate way. Not just playing the game until he can aerial. The concept is quite simple actually. It's how improvement becomes rapid.

[peak merlin]

stop tryna come up with arguements lol

im getting bored

[echo stirrup]

Watch your recordings

[dreamy rover]

ight thanks

[true thunder]

I’ve been trying to learn how to speedflip, and it seems to go smoothly until I land. When I land, I end up around ninety degrees to the right. How can I fix this?

[peak merlin]

I would use musty custom training pack for that

[upbeat pike]

Currently C1 in 2’s and I don’t seem to be able to improve. Any tips on how to get better as a kbm player

[true thunder]

yeah, I am using it and I keep on landing about ninety degrees to the right. I can send a clip of it happening in #gameplay-highlights and link it there soon

[velvet mirage]

seems like you aint holding powerslide, or controlling the flip properly

[peak merlin]

Fr

[midnight pumice]

Does anyone have any ground air dribble training packs

[signal lintel]

how would going in the training pack help lol

[signal lintel]

usually flipping forward too much or cancelling late. could be bad airroll usage too

[peak merlin]

Because it does lol idk

[velvet mirage]

theres a bakkesmod extension which helps

[peak merlin]

True

[velvet mirage]

otherwise its basically useless in actually helping you tho

[peak merlin]

But it does still help get it consistent

[signal lintel]

ya i know about that 👍

[true thunder]

maybe, here is the clip: #gameplay-highlights message what do i need to improve on?

[velvet mirage]

seems like youre too slow at cancelling the flip, and you dont hold powerslide

[signal lintel]

yeah you're just cancelling late. Could also be flipping the wrong direction, hard to tell

[true thunder]

I thought I didn’t need to hold powerslide? Do I need to hold powerslide + left air roll while diagonal cancel flipping?

[true thunder]

Alright, I’ll try cancelling really quickly and see if that works.

[peak merlin]

I use default air roll

[signal lintel]

Ya, good luck. And no, powersliding is irrelevant to your issue. Also, don't speed up that much before the speedflip when practicing. If you get supersonic off the flip itself (at the start of the flip), then you are "wasting" the speedflip, you should be getting supersonic while boosting during the cancel. The whole point is to boost forward during the flip, which doesn't matter if you are already supersonic.

[shrewd matrix]

I need some advice... I play solo q mostly i am c2 in 3s and c3 in 2s... I try my very hardest to play around my teammates but everytime i need to push the ball cause my teammates in 3s both ran out of boost and similtaneously rotate back after playinng a 2v3 infront of the opponents net.we get countered on because my teammates push up again and the last man always overcommits. I can just try to play all defense and watch my teammates score after several minutes but then they either dont challenge the ball when i rotate back post or they rotate behind me and when i try to push they also push and double commit. I really want to play 2s and 3s but it is just frustrating to lose even after sacrificing some fun to play defensive

[peak merlin]

I can send you a custom sheet that helps you in solo queue

Just hit me up in dms

[shrewd matrix]

I would really appreciate that

[signal lintel]

maybe you aren't rotating into 1st man aggressively enough, and your teammates feel like they need to cut rotation to keep pressure? Have you watched replays from teammates' perspectives at all?

[true thunder]

What do you think the best way to practice this would be? In the musty pack, you have unlimited boost and in training aswell. It would be more ideal to have the actual amount of boost in a real kickoff, right?

[shrewd matrix]

Yeah the thing is i do drive up instantly as if to hit the ball when i see the 1st man rotating back and often need to stop because even though i am pushung the ball the teammate cuts inprobably because they think there is another chance for a good touch which is often a wrong assumption

[velvet mirage]

nope, its only the timing that matters, you gotta speedflip at the right time to get optimal acceleration, the amount of boost has nothing to do with it

[signal lintel]

nah it doesn't matter how much boost you have. you're good enough at it that you can practice in the musty pack if you want, doesn't really matter for fixing your issue tho

if you want to practice kickoffs, you can do that easily in freeplay, and you can turn off unlimited boost there

[cyan sage]

goddam look at all that yappin

[signal lintel]

that is going to happen sometimes no matter what. But maybe you can try to be closer to the play as 2nd or 3rd man, so teammates are less likely to see cutting rotation as a good option. Especially in 3s

[signal lintel]

fr

[shrewd matrix]

But isnt the advice given by any pro always not overcommitung as last man ? I stay in midfield and try to be closer to the goal when i predict that it will be my turn to go but even thats not enough

[signal lintel]

well it's not either sit in net or overcommit, gotta find the balance. and sometimes you do need to take a risk to avoid breaking rotation

giving the opponents more time to set up an attack is a serious risk, similar to overcomitting, especially as you push into/through gc

[viscid talon]

Wanna get better at hitting wide open shots/banger shots? Well try my custom training map! Heres the code: 6779-7903-D835-C506 | DM me and tell me how it was!

[true thunder]

alright, so should I focus on cancel flipping really fast?

[signal lintel]

yeah that's the main part of speedflipping, that and flipping the right direction

[true thunder]

alright

also, i saw a vid and it was like dw about the direction on your joystick, going up and down still works

[crimson crown]

by not being selfish, play for the team, not yourself

[signal lintel]

that doesn't make any sense lol idk what that means

[crimson crown]

just corner flip then pull your stick back

[true thunder]

yeh, I think I actually just did a perfect speedflip when trying to perfect the angle, but I don’t think I can do it consistently

[crimson crown]

noone gets any mechanic consitently at the start, just build the muscle memory and you will be fine

[true thunder]

👍

[true thunder]

well almost, I speed flipped but then when I landed I kind of had to adjust on my side wheels before landing flat

[signal lintel]

there's always some adjustment needed, so that's probably normal

[timid spire]

at what rank should i learn how to dribble and do flicks

[signal lintel]

pretty much any rank, it is one of the most useful "mechanics"

[timid spire]

thats cool because ive been practicing it and realized it was very hard and thought maybe i should wait

[signal lintel]

no it is good to practice at any rank, it's a bit hard of course but you don't need complicated flicks to make a good play. below plat it might be hard to get consistent but that doesn't mean you shouldn't practice. if you want advice on how to practice better feel free to dm me or post a video in #gameplay-highlights

[timid spire]

ill post a clip of me doing my best at it later then

[blazing shale]

anybody willing to train me?gc2 above

oohhh okay that sounds good, i feel like a live analysis would be better for me, let me know whenever you got few minutes, thanks 😄

[maiden arrow]

btw can i ask what is your rank

[ornate cape]

just ranked back up to d1

[maiden arrow]

nice

[ornate cape]

idk for me it feels like whenever i'm in the air, i can't control the car, it feels a lot harder than it did before

[maiden arrow]

can't really say anything from that, could be a lack of intent before the jump, just mechs or smt else

[ornate cape]

probably

[maiden arrow]

fuck it i can't sleep i can boot up my pc and do it now if you want

anyone down to coach. im a d3 d4 peak in 2s but now im sitting at plat 3 d4 because my duo lost some rank and just stopped caring

How many pros are there in the RL scene that are still top 8 in their mid or late 20s

[lapis compass]

morning everyone

[rustic fern]

i was 2 games from champ

or have any tips to rank back up solo q

[lapis compass]

adapt to your teammate playstyle

[broken pivot]

So u plat 3 now?

[rustic fern]

yes and im still playing with d2/d3 when im with my duo. just he keeps mad real easy and just stops trying

[nocturne breach]

then find another tm

[lapis compass]

im down to giive you some tips 1 on 1 if you want to later today tho

[rustic fern]

when you think we could do that

and ive started playing with a peak c2 and hes d3 now but noone wants to improve like i do

[broken pivot]

How are you gonna improve if you rely on other people's skill to rank up

If you truly think you should get to champ, you should be able to carry a plat 3 by yourself

[rustic fern]

i dont solo q as much as i probably should. i havent played a single plat match since i ranked down. ive been pushing with my duo. but now that you say that. im starting to think i should just solo q untill i get to where i want

i normally carry my duo. but when he is just oc and playing dumb is kinda hard to 1v2

[broken pivot]

You should, especially if your duos stop trying mid game and get mad

[rustic fern]

yea

thank you

[broken pivot]

No worries

[rustic fern]

can i dm you?

[broken pivot]

Sure

[rustic fern]

hey one more question

[vagrant roost]

im 21 😭

im saying most esports competition is like teens and barely drinking age

[halcyon crest]

in America

In most of Europe drinking age is 16

[vagrant roost]

oh true, i forget europe is kinda cool, just has british people 🥹

they lowered the tournament age down to 13 recently no? or am i misremembering somethi ng

[cerulean glade]

Wait I could join one?!

[cerulean glade]

Yh but people still drink at 14

[nocturne breach]

in my country the drinking age is 9-10 lol

not legally of course

[halcyon crest]

If you're good enough for rlcs yeah

Are you?

[last cliff]

Anyone wanna coach me?

[cerulean glade]

Nope 💀

[violet stream]

yo how do i go from unranked noob

Any tips on how to get out of golf

Gold*

[nocturne breach]

get used to the game, play 100+ hours

[violet stream]

yo should i play with the default settings of KBM or should i configure them to what i usually put in most games

[idle temple]

i dont play golf

[violet stream]

give me tips on KBM

[vagrant roost]

probably

[broken pivot]

What rank are u

[violet stream]

bronze 3

[broken pivot]

U got default key binds?

They worked fine for me tbh

Got up to champ 1

[violet stream]

nah

[broken pivot]

What do u use

[violet stream]

i customized the jump, boost and ball thing

jump = space
boost = shift
slide = ctrl
ball lock on = z

[broken pivot]

What you have on mouse?

[violet stream]

nothing

tbh i dont utilize the mouse at all

[broken pivot]

You playing with two hands or one

Cause that sounds very complicated to me

[violet stream]

well i have one hand on the mouse either way cuz im used to it

so i play with one hand

[broken pivot]

U should probably bind boost and jump to mouse it will free up your other hand

Boost on left click and jump on right click

[violet stream]

alright

[broken pivot]

And if you get keys in the side of your mouse bins them to move the camera up and down

[violet stream]

i was also told to download bakkesmod so i am doing that rn

[broken pivot]

For sure, it has great features

[violet stream]

wait im opening rl

[violet stream]

done

now what

[broken pivot]

Shift is power slide and space is toggle ball/car cam

Air roll left and air roll right on Q and E respectively

Try playing some games it'll take some time to get used to since u weren't using mouse at all

Or just free play for a while till I get used to the movement

[violet stream]

so just have

default settings

[broken pivot]

U can change depending on your preference but I wouldn't recommend not using mouse at all

[timber yacht]

Looking for someone to coach and help me out with anything I do wrong in a game (preferably playing the game) I’m p2

[fluid coral]

No, Coaching for you!
Here is your Pro tip
Play the game more, use RL tracker On your Browser to track how many games you have played this season dubble last seasons games minimum if you want diamond, if you want higher dubble those games. ect.
Ofc practising specific mechanics and rotations will also help, but this is a brute force way to improve.

[timber yacht]

👍

[young fox]

To add to what the other guy said 1s is the best way to improve

[golden ivy]

true because you get more time on the ball and get punished for your mistakes more

[wet moth]

ok

[severe arch]

just turn up sensitivity

[wet moth]

stary

whats ur rank

can u guees my rank from a clip

[grand holly]

Turning up sensitivity will not increase speed. All that does is make you turn more for less movement of the left stick. For this, you want to have controller deadzone as low as possible without stick drift interfering with your movement. Go into training and go to the straight kickoff. Then, lower your controller sensitivity until your car deviates from the straight path. Once you find that spot, raise it by .01 and you will be at the ideal controller deadzone. Maybe your controller already has stick drift, in which case, you would want to raise controller deadzone until there is no more stick drift.

To consistently hit them

[ruby hill]

Hi, I’m an active rl coach for msg esports currently coaching a gc2 and gc3 team in 2s and 3s. I am open for 30 minute or 1 hour sessions if anyone is looking to improve their game. Dm me if you’re interested and we can discuss further.

[blazing owl]

Anyone got tips for solo queuinh

Im c2 and for some reason my tm8s are genuinely shocking it's so annoying

[halcyon crest]

how much every day

I don't think you are practicing effectively or actually practicing them if you have been practicing for a month

[mortal quail]

In c2 specifically, prepare to play a lot of games. Just learn to be consistent and don't tilt yourself. Overtime you'll rank up, if you lose due to teammates, just go again
Make sure your not tilting as it's gonna happen. Adapt well and soon your get c3

[halcyon crest]

is it free?

[indigo citrus]

How do i use the flip reset, like whenever i get the reset i get so excited that i immediately use it and never seem to hit the ball, i think its because i don’t control my air dribbles good enough, but im not sure (my rank is d1)

[halcyon crest]

just wait longer to use it

in diamond if you are good at flip resets you will score pretty much every time

[mortal quail]

I wouldn't recommend doing resets in diamond
But make sure you land on the ball, not the ball land on you, this helps maintain momentum and not lose control

[indigo citrus]

Hmm alright, thanks

[vocal pagoda]

are front or side wavedashes actually useful

[ruby hill]

Very

[mortal quail]

Does anyone have any tips to get the 45 degree flick lower? I can get the power but I hit it over the crossbar when shooting #gameplay-highlights message

[mortal quail]

Why are you holding boost each time, that's probably why it isn't accurate. Probably need to slow it down

[halcyon crest]

I just find it easier to get power with boost

I can shoot fine with a weak shot but with a powerful shot I cannot get it low enough

[ruby hill]

Exactly right and you seem to be angling your car too high

Point the top of your car towards where you want the flick to go

[primal nimbus]

can anyone help me learn how to breezy and ground freestyle stuff

dribble mexss etc...

[mortal quail]

So your sacrificing accuracy for power, hence why you slow it down for less power but more accuracy

[halcyon crest]

I feel like when I rotate my car further so it is doing that, I just miss the flick

[ruby hill]

Slow it down

Don’t hold down boost the entire time

[halcyon crest]

it's funny, I can get the flick more consistently the faster I am going but it is not accurate

when I slow down I tend to miss the ball more on the flick

like I pop it too high

[mortal quail]

Probably because you only practiced holding boost, so now you practice doing it slower

[halcyon crest]

How do I stop popping the ball up when jumping for the flick?

should there be a noticeable delay between the jump and the flick?

ah so I think I am flipping too early

my issue is I cannot get the flick unless I do the flip instantly

[primal nimbus]

How to do fast af flicks

[cyan sage]

45 / mawkzy flicks

[fluid coral]

...DMs

[cyan sage]

learn ball placement

ball placement is everything if you want fast snappy flicks

mawkzy flicks are literally just 45s w some air roll😭

the movement is actually so easy dawg it's just a 45 w some air roll

if you can 45, you can mawkzy

ball positioning is just about learning how to dribble lol

when you break it all down, it's simple

90-100 for a flick like that is slow

stuff like that gets saved easily in higher ranked lobbies, even if it's placed well

compared to mawkzy flicks where you're getting like 110-120

bro said "how to do fast flicks"

90-100 isn't fast💀

[abstract meadow]

i be doing 120+ mustys with hella lag 😭

[cyan sage]

mustys just take too much time and space to setup to consistently rely on them

you get hella speed tho

[abstract meadow]

I mean i don't rely on them but if im in comp 1s and the guy is not challenging me up my ass i can do them pretty easily lol

100 is really all you need if it gets height

[cyan sage]

💀

mad for what

cutting corners isn't gonna help you in the long run lol

get this dude grammarly 😭

[cyan sage]

eh- depends on the lobbies you're in tbh

[abstract meadow]

in 1s and 2s 100 is enough

[cyan sage]

higher ranked lobbies can still save 100kph flicks that are placed well most of the time

[abstract meadow]

yeah

[cyan sage]

110-120 is peak speed

[abstract meadow]

all depends on positioning

[abstract meadow]

i did a 132kph goofy 45 once 💀

[cyan sage]

if you can hit well placed 110-120 from midfield, you're gold

i had a 45 that peaked at like 142 or some shit

i got the ss somewhere

[abstract meadow]

I've got it in a clip i can dm it lmao shit went flying

[cyan sage]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/156870795899961345/1019348401395085402/unknown.png?ex=65c29aad&is=65b025ad&hm=24e97d99daefde5a110939cef26dbd14037aff8c29d48d51c78e7e2347452caf&

look at the speed counter top left lmao

[abstract meadow]

nvm mine was like a 90 what am i on abt

[cyan sage]

dawg

not everything is abt u

i meant "ur gold" as in you don't need to worry

stop getting pressed over shit 😭

[abstract meadow]

132 90 flick mb

my 45s are mid honestly i can only get them around 110

[cyan sage]

it's all abt ball placement fr

[wet moth]

HI

[cyan sage]

if you can get the corner of your car, the one that's opposite the ball, to smack the ball, you get nasty speed

[wet moth]

rtmyz

[cyan sage]

hiya! :3

[wet moth]

hello

[cyan sage]

@abstract meadow https://medal.tv/games/rocket-league/clips/18sDeOALU75RxJ

[wet moth]

[abstract meadow]

[acoustic oxide]

@cyan sage can you help me with my car control + aerial control?

[severe arch]

comes with time

car control just try advanced dribble stuff like jumping and doing a 360 and aerial just fly around and hold air roll

[latent pawn]

any good training packs for shadow defense? In particular like if you're shadowing a flick where you're basically in-line with them and the goal?

A lot of the packs im finding we're like off to the side a bit liek we're sahdow defending a shot instead of a flick-like situation

[cyan sage]

can someone coach me?

[ionic monolith]

Maybe try uncomfortable saves

I’m not at home so I can’t get you a code but it shouldn’t be too hard to find

[grand holly]

Try out these:

Backwards Saves - EABD-7F2F-D4FA-46B2
Super Defense - BE46-B385-876F-6CBA
Advanced Goaltending - 6000-A632-72BD-5DE9
Curtis Saves - 5CBB-91DB-8928-4AAF
Shadow Defense - 5CCE-FB29-7B05-A0B1
Uncomfortable Saves - 5CB2-6D82-1B54-47B7
Backboard Defense - 9F09-E4D3-EAB0-69AD

[rigid mirage]

[untold aspen]

Are there any tips to get more power on my shots because when I hit them I don’t get a lot of power

[vagrant roost]

wait until after it hits the ground to hit the ball. itll bounce higher when its just started its bounce. otherwise hit it with the tip of your car.

[empty charm]

[unkempt cave]

anyone open to teaching me to airdribble?

[native wigeon]

Yeah sure

Airdribble literally just grind training packs tbh

find that spot on your car where you can balance the ball

[unkempt cave]

i have been but idk its kinda weird

[native wigeon]

and just practice 🤑🤑

Just keep on it… practice up-the-wall airdribbles first

don’t do off the ground airdribbles yet

[unkempt cave]

i cant even do that lol

[median sierra]

can anybody coach me im bronze

?

[shrewd matrix]

Go to youtube and search up rocket league settings.. it doesnt really matter whose you pick but i would suggest some pros settings could be zen, squishyuffins, jstn, retals or anyone else.. when you got new button settings and camera settings u should honestly just get some hours in and have some fun if that is not enough for you and u want to instantly improve i suggest watching some tips for beginners videos or an old but gold playlist called "why you suck at rocket league" by sunlesslhan

[lime gorge]

i was d2 and dropped to p2 can anyone coach me on gameplay?

[ionic monolith]

Focus less on your rank and focus more improving from game to game

Learn to point out your own mistakes as you play and change up your play style accordingly

[karmic briar]

yo

can someone help me pls

um tryna do this flick for so long and i just cant

[ionic monolith]

What kind?

[delicate zenith]

@jagged marlin what's the point in flip resetting if you can't get out of diamond? I'm champ and I haven't even tried a flip reset

Also your excuse for being in diamond is lame. You can literally work around any teammate you just gotta watch.

[sterile zealot]

What's his excuse cba scrolling up

[delicate zenith]

His excuse is that his teammates chase

I'm in his same rank diamond 2 and I get plenty of chasers but we still win

[ornate cape]

true

[delicate zenith]

I just kinda have bad placement for the most part

Lol

[ornate cape]

same here, i'm d2 and the teammates are okay, like even if they chase i'm there to defend, i'll try to get used to their playstile

[delicate zenith]

Mhm

It's not that hard

[languid path]

in need of a duo

[old zenith]

what rank?

[languid path]

i would explain why but i can't without the mod deleting the shit

i was diamond got a shitty tm8 and i got demoted

very mad abt it

[granite hare]

anyone down to teach me rotations for 2s? And/or 1v1, im gold 3 but idc to 1v1 anyone for fun

[old zenith]

oh i thought you whould be like p1 or p2 because i'm p1 but i can handle dimond my firend is bimond 1 and we play all the time

[languid path]

naw i'm not that low in plat

[old zenith]

[wanton drift]

Can anybody teach me mechs im trying to learn how to flip rest without messing up and wanted to know if theres anyone can help me i know how to get a rest and stuff ig

[old zenith]

can anybody give me tips to get out of plat 1 more like to dimond 1?

my name is honey-nutmeg don't ask why

[sterile zealot]

I see

He thinks flip resetting will fix that?

[digital parrot]

Rotations, rotations, rotations.

[sterile zealot]

Play the game more you'll go up plat isn't tricky

It's only tricky at gc1

For me anyway

[digital parrot]

Right! Still, you'll have guys with crazy mechanics, but no field awareness and guys with great field awareness, but no mechanics. I am the latter. lol.

[sterile zealot]

In plat?

[digital parrot]

In diamond. He was asking how to get up to diamond.

[sterile zealot]

Aren't u silver 3?

Oh whoops sorry
