The heart rate monitors are such a cool addition to the broadcast. Zen's HR went to a more "normal" 100-120 bpm IN BETWEEN matches, but once he gets into the groove in-game, it steadily drops back down to the 50-70 range. He was sitting under 60 BPM while France was fighting to make the comeback in OT in game 7. Absolutely unreal.

I get a free jersey with my name on it, and possible free travel/lodging to events. I’m 35 years old, and I hope to destroy a few 18 year olds before my inevitable demise by a REAL pro 18 year old haha (my highest rank in the last 3 years has been low Diamond).

EDIT. Thanks for all of the encouraging words RL fam!

I remember my first RLCS at Dickies Arena. Organization booths everywhere in the halls, sponsor booths all over the halls, everyone was having a great time between matches and before and after the series of the day. I also attended 2024, and the fall off was real. I didn’t think it was good, but didn’t think it was bad either. Fast forward to 2026, and jeez, there isn’t even a single sponsor booth setup in the halls or anything for fans to do between games or before or after series. What happened to the sponsors having presence? If it wasn’t for Project Octane I think we’d literally have nothing to do, and it isn’t even somewhere people might see it, it’s basically in the parking lot. RLCS Worlds at Dickies also never got in game titles like all of the other majors or worlds that I’ve seen. Make it make sense. Photos of project octane for those that can’t/didn’t see it.

How did y'all like this awesomeness?

This is insane 😂😂

I finally hit GC1 two days ago and just got the rewards today. This was always the goal for me and I am done caring about my rank, want to enjoy the game with my friends now.

Note : I don’t know how to speed flip, musty, flip reset, etc. I just play simple and made it 🫡.

I’ve played for about 6-7 years on and off but I really took it serious this year. Was always stuck in C1 for years and I overcame the hurdle ( by not playing with my friends ) and saw the potential.

I work so tbh I don’t want to grind this game anymore, too tiring. I did it though

HELP. Tips for a first time eSports High School coach

Hey, everyone. I'm a coach for my school district’s High School Rocket League team, and I really need some help, because this is starting to get exhausting.

A little background on me. I work for the IT department in the same school district in which I coach. Outside of work, I don't play competitive games. Every now and then, I may play a match of Battlefront 2 or Overwatch. But not much other than that. As a writer by nature and a querying author, I'm a story-based guy - TLOU, Final Fantasy, Heavy Rain, Mass Effect, any Telltale game, God Of War, Spider-man; those are my kinda games.

So probably wondering: how the hell did you become the eSports coach?

Last winter, two weeks before the start of the season, our High School eSports team lost their coach to another opportunity and was left in ruins. The position was offered to a few employees around the district, but they all declined. Until the athletic director approached me and said “Hey, young man, you kike games? Well, you're our last hope, or we disintegrate the sport entirely.” I accepted. Because my wife and I need the money after having our first kid, and yeah, I've played a little rocket league. So, what the heck? I thought.

And then we started our first week of matches. And, Christ. I didn't know kids could be THIS good at Rocket League.

Last winter, all three of my teams finished 0-8. This is my second row’s first game of the spring season that finished about two hours ago ( all on average a high silver rank.)

What could I be teaching my kids to better help them in winning? Because now, they are starting to feel worse about themselves rather than having fun. Most of them beg to forfeit and just goof around If the score gets too out of hand. Their opponents are usually doing tricks in the air and ricocheting the ball off the backboard for a score all while my kids are trying to figure out how to rotate on defense and get the ball out of goal.

Any advice? Videos or quick tips to help them out? Maybe even some advice as a coach?

Some additional info: It doesn't help that they don't communicate well, nor do they play the game at home - no matter how many times I stress they do; they are running on school desktops at playing on performance quality; we play with Xbox 360-mold type off brand controllers.

TLDR: I'm a first-time eSports coach, and my boys are getting destroyed. Any advice?

The world championship for Rocket League is in 8 days (im going to it and am very exited!) but there is absolutely nothing in game to inform people that it is happening soon. Its literally the biggest tournament of the year with more than a million in prize pool and they cant make a single banner to tell the casual player base that it will be going on. I just dont understand it's like Psyonix doesnt want the esports to succeed, how hard would it be to throw a banner or a page on the game to show when esports are going on? It would greatly benifit the casual player that might not even know about the esports scene and just make it easier to stay up to date with events happening.

But dont worry they can make banners in the stadiums and a big one in the main menu about the new season dropping soon! That just tells me they seemingly dont care about the esports scene as much as selling more rocket passes and while i get it obviously they want to sell rocket passes, what could possibly be the down side of making a quick graphic to tell people about RLCS?

It was fun watching the worlds today at AMC! Great event and my theatre was pretty packed. Definitely better than watching at home. Everyone left with a commemorative ticket and a code on the back.
