A commission muthatrucka

When i started this blog and page, i never expected i would be watching every kind of esports available, so i could get the biggest inside to write about. I still miss lots of content from different types of genres, and since we don’t have a lot of people managing the page is a little frustrating. That being said, i had the opportunity to recently watch some rocket league esport.

 Doubting the League:

At first i had my doubts, when we talk about esports we look at the giants (league of legends, dota 2, counter strike, cod, ect) but is theres one thing i learn from watching a couple of games, is that Rocket League definetly deserves a spot not only on the Teamwiped! Blog. But in what we consider general esports overall.

 My Favorite Type of Soccer:

Im a big fan of different real sports, automovil, boxing and NFL being some of my favorites to watch, but i’ve never been to excited about Soccer, although many of my friends watch it, i’ve never been really into it. But Rocket League is completely different. If real Soccer manages to combine cars in the future, you have a big fan right here!

 The Esport:

While watching, i managed to spot some differences from the typical esports crowd im use to seeing and the Rocket League fan. The crowd is electrifying and they go wild whenever a team scores (just like real soccer) a lot of them also have a lot of knowledge of actual Soccer and some even apply what they know into Rocket League. The chat was less spam-ish? than other esports (maybe it was the match i saw) but with 100k people watching, i was really suprise to see less “that team sucks kappa kappa kappa” and more “Lets go! Omg this game is incredible” all in all my experience watching this was very very pleasing.

 Selfless vs Flipsid3

This is the match that got me super into it, as the commentator said “If you are new to Rocket League or the Rocket League esports, this is a great introduction” and it was, these two teams were on point every single time and they went into the 5th game of the Bo5 they were playing. During the last couple of seconds Selfless had a 1-0 advantage over Flipsid3, and Selfless and many fans were already smelling victory. But during the last 5 seconds of the game Flipsid3 manages to score one last point, going to overtime, with a score of 1-1. The crowd, myself and Twitch chat were going crazy. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE!! Last game of the day, full 5 games and on the last game they go into overtime! In the end Flipsid3 took it, it took the upper bracket, it took the respect of the crowd and Selfless and it took my doubts away, Rocket League is amazing as an esport.

 Personal Opinion:

In my opinion, Rocket League is not for everyone, hell i even thought it wasn’t for me, but if you ever have the chance to watch a couple of matches, feel free to do so. RLCS are doing a great job and they have some great teams and sponsors supporting them. I for once, can not wait for the next game of the RLCS!
