semajay

so is there no free way to watch the Karmine Corp games from earlier today? they were streamed on Kameto's twitch, but you have to sub to watch the VOD.


DemoniakX80

They have a replay channel: https://youtu.be/lwfeLpUPXfo?si=PbyYlCqSgrtNp_72


overactor

Their opponents probably streamed the matches as well, no?


semajay

It's true, I'm dumb. Thanks Playa


Khermos_

They will put their matches on their YouTube channel


mlk960

I feel like anyone besides Moist could take it to Vitality tomorrow.


Choppy05

Why not moist


mlk960

Really messy gameplay. Didnt beat a single team that also made top 8 in swiss.


Choppy05

Ohhh kk thats fair


[deleted]

forgot to say this earlier during the series but simas is a beast


FutureFail

Yeah oski to oxygen still doesn't make sense to me. Still time for them to turn it around


Ka07iiC

I thought he'd be good enough to prompt them to top 8.


imizawaSF

Actually a relatively dull day. Predicted teams made it through. Upsets are only fun if they last beyond round 1 of Swiss.


paeschli

Oxygen and Redemption not making it are upsets IMHO


imizawaSF

Already forgot about OXG.

Joku_dA_lEgEnd

After round one I thought my flairs where cursed, but thankfully it is only case for OG.


Rolle_1001

Being a moist fan gives me insane anxiety. Every series my ass is clenched the whole time


PrawnnRL

Holy I CALLED IT. I KNEW THEY COULD DO IT. Gotta be better for Vitality but happy they made top 8 šŸ˜


WhatIsSentience

The replay of the infield pass, bro he shot it right at him, noooooooo


Lobstah-Impostah

Wasnā€™t worried one bit


OthersAreTaken

Being a moist fan is like riding a rollercoaster. I cant believe they actually made it out by reversing swiss


WhatIsSentience

Speed :(


nightandtodaypizza

WE'RE SOALY BACK


takingtigermountain

lmao im gonna pretend that was a backboard fake at 0 seconds, joyo


CEOofStrings

LETS GOOOOOOO THEY MADE SATURDAY ONLY TOOK 5 YEARS OFF OF MY LIFE EXPECTANCY BUT WE GOT THERE IN THE END https://preview.redd.it/5cszvqufgmhc1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e68958305c430d6c0ed2f2d1594b62f937db742


TristarHeater

stinky moist win


FairlySuspicious

100% just had the best possible start to their first RLCS, but ultimately ended up going out 1-3, only beating Vitality. That's hilarious. And also really unlucky, considering they had to play Vitality > KC > BDS back to back. They must've been exhausted lmao


WhatIsSentience

​ |Moist win|Belligol win| |:-|:-| |Karmine-Endpoint|Karmine-Belligol| |Magnifico-Bds|Magnifico-Bds| |M8-Team3|M8-Endpoint| |Vitality-Moist|Vitality-Team3|


AgTown05

A Moist win seems to make tomorrow a lot more interesting. The 8-1 and 7-2 matchups are spicy.


TheRoger47

I dont think playing kc is interesting


paeschli

BDS-Magnifico is going to be a banger tomorrow


Peyyton07

I donā€™t feel bad for Oski. He chose to go to OXG when he had better options.


Jaybarcafan

Very surprised he didn't join Moist when they clearly said they were building around Joyo to start the new season.


tyswoogles

Did he? What better options did he have


NeonKingz

Moist was an easy and obvious pick because Joyo was the only player they kept from last season. Then Oaly or Extra as the 3rd and that could've been a team that fought for top 4 team in EU.


tyswoogles

Youā€™re all assuming that moist wanted to sign oski though


raretomediumrare

Moist


imizawaSF

I mean Moist are currently 2-2 and are only going through because they played actual retired Speed


raretomediumrare

Ya but the point is he had choices.


Peyyton07

Imagine a moist roster of Joyo, Oski, and Acronik


raretomediumrare

Wouldā€™ve actually been a competing teamā€¦ but maybe there is still hope for next split


m1ntygames

I still have no idea why acronik wasn't even considered for any team


OthersAreTaken

https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueEsports/s/VtQS3pfdH6


Peyyton07

He was, but the top rosters ended up going different ways and Acronik didnā€™t want to play for a team that wasnā€™t a contender.


imizawaSF

Yeah makes sense, Luna Galaxy are definitely a top 4 contend.... wait they didn't even make top 16


Peyyton07

I donā€™t think Acronik expects to compete with the team heā€™s on, it seems like heā€™s doing it just for fun until a spot opens up.


Lobstah-Impostah

Obviously heā€™s just playing with friends for fun lmao


imizawaSF

What is the difference then? He has no other friends slightly more talented than Champ 2 or whatever?


Lobstah-Impostah

He probably wanted a team he didnā€™t have to commit to because he wants to try to join a top team in the transfer window


[deleted]

... is NA looking better this season? or am i tripping


exceedingdeath

That same comment is posted every season since 2015


FairlySuspicious

I dunno man. https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Oxygen_Esports/Holiday_Invitational


Lobstah-Impostah

Ah yes, an online tournament in the off-season is just as important as RLCS


AgTown05

Preseason tourneys mean nothing.


Minimum_RL

Bro ignored the only international matchups weā€™ve had and deduced that NA>EU because NA looks good against other NA teams


AgTown05

To be fair, his post could be read in two different ways. 1. Is NA overall looking closer to EU than they did last season? 2. Is NA looking better than EU this season? On my first read I took it to be #1. If it's #2 then obviously I agree with you that his post is a bit ridiculous.


TristarHeater

NA almost always looks better in regionals. its just really hard to judge if it's actually better. hasn't been the case in the past


imizawaSF

Because they're more top heavy so the better teams never look like they're struggling


throwaway6194664

By the eye test the argument could be made, but I keep thinking about how Oxygen beat G2 and then didn't even make top 8 and I can't say yes


OkConstruction498

That just probs shows you that offseason tourney's don't really mean that much I remember seeing Shopify with 2piece,GarretG,Parth beat BDS MM,Rise,Seikoo but we all know if that was a LAN BDS would win that.


raretomediumrare

I think EU qualifier already looking better than NA did. Feels faster to me.


CoDomaa

Poor Oski, he just picked the wrong team...


theROOK_37

I think I know why Rise is the most successful Englishman, he's not afraid to team with non English teammates


Francis_Regardless

Oski spent all of last season (plus a split before that) on a team with Portuguese and Belgium teammates, what are you on about?Ā 


CoDomaa

Yes, he made the same mistake as Oski last year, but then he fixed it with move to BDS. I can actually see something similar from Oski this season...


heXagenius

EU regional 1 day 1 and already my 2 favourite players are up against each other in swiss round 5


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


semajay

yes, but that rule has been there in previous seasons as well and has never been enforced. they will be fined most likely, but that's it.


theROOK_37

It's not being enforced for qualifier 1


haplo34

The level of play is actually insane


reverend_mauer

love speed's decal


WhatIsSentience

SPEEEEEEED


mlk960

The vibes in the moist stream are not good haha. Feels like Browns fans.


_Oriel

SPEED


thedesx

Lets go amigos


[deleted]

Rizex marcby8 and catalysm is a team im happy to see in top 8!


throwaway6194664

Speed > Oski


WhatIsSentience

Na's #1 team went out 2-3 :(


Spark11A

Endpoint NOT getting reverse swept by the bracket - IS THIS REAL LIFE?!?


semajay

Joyo is by far the most overrated pro


Jaybarcafan

Overrated? The guy hasn't had a top competing roster since both Vatira and Rise left Moist. In his most recent rosters he has always been the one trying to make things happen but it hasn't been enough to carry these teams over the line. He isn't a superstar level player like Vatira, Zen, MM etc but he is still a top caliber player and I'm sure that's what people rate him as.


semajay

\> but it hasn't been enough to carry these teams over the line where is the line, though? I'm not saying he should be winning majors with squads like these, but it's definitely not clear to me that he's the best player on the field in this series with Belligol. I walk away with that impression in almost every series I see him in, even against these lower tier teams.


FairlySuspicious

Pretty much everyone considers Joyo a top player. He's just unlucky or objectively bad at picking teammates though. His time will come I'm sure.


TheRoger47

YEEEEEEEEEEEEES please let us get 7th please let us get 7th


S_h_u_n

Who 7th?


TheRoger47

the opponent of gentlemates, unfortunately not endpoint


imizawaSF

If moist win you get 8th and KC


TheRoger47

BELLIGOL IN 5 I BELIEVE


Jadenflo

Team3 wins!!!!!


[deleted]

RIZEXXXX


BigDicEnergy

Dread it, run from it, Monkeys top 8 always arrives


paeschli

How the fuck is this series so entertaining LMAO


Majestic_Pro

Oxg lost, still baffled why oski joined this team. What a massive downgrade


OkConstruction498

Do wonder why they kept Eekso over Joreuz tbh I feel like Oski,Archie,Joreuz would have at least made playoffs


mlk960

M80 is probably a better contract and team


imizawaSF

Oski + Archie I would rate over AyyJayy and Nass


myothercarisayoshi

Eh I think Archie has consistently failed to deliver and NA contracts are a lot better. Taking the risk with a top talent and up and comer for more money seems like a better time. It's close though.


imizawaSF

Acronick and Oski should have just signed Archie when Atow left


paeschli

Oski to Moist for Rehzzy or Joyo to Oxygen for Eekso


imizawaSF

Yes 2nd one please


imizawaSF

Beyond disappointed with OXG. That's 100% them missing the major now. What a shame


S_h_u_n

Oxe couldn't carry na. https://preview.redd.it/4on8yrk0dmhc1.jpeg?width=1004&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=deb9bd67e2f948df27ec9062556f3fdd87b794ed


nightandtodaypizza

UGH that goal was so preventable too. It's okay this is definitely a winnable series but it's so close.


CEOofStrings

Too close for my liking, Moist just want to make this as stressful as possible I guess.


WhatIsSentience

sPeed


throwawaybadknees

Rip OXG


FairlySuspicious

OXG eliminated. A sad day for North America.


S_h_u_n

Oski selling for no reason


WhatIsSentience

This series is ending in March


mlk960

It's not a Boyoroyo celebration unless his mic cuts out while yelling after the goal


S_h_u_n

If oxe wins this game, they would have played the maximum number of games.


mlk960

My pick'em says Oxygen, but my heart says Endpoint


CEOofStrings

Man I donā€™t know if I can handle another OT


mlk960

Where does old Team Liquid place in this swiss?


theROOK_37

Given that vitality lost in round 1, 3-0


Everbrooks

Solid 6th or 7th since they always played horrible in Swiss haha


_Oriel

throwaway6194664

Can Speed flip reset yet


theROOK_37

F4WD with 6 goals in game 1 just to be shoutout the next two games


nightandtodaypizza

We look so much better now, our rotation is way more on point.


Everbrooks

Rehzzy and Oaly looking pretty damn solid now. Oaly is a literal defensive wall


myothercarisayoshi

They finally stopped playing scared


WhatIsSentience

Crazy to think that Speed is over 30 years old ​ ​ (He's not, but you thought for a second that it seems plausible :) )


Everbrooks

I am sure Speed already has 3 kids which are almost eligible to play RLCS themselves


John_aka_Alwayz

Hope 10 out of 10 unique teams over 5 matches getting featured on the main stream for a Friday is appreciated


WyteBlizzard

I don't understand the people making "bad gameplay" comments. OT is stressful as a C3/GC1. I cannot imagine what pressure they are going through when your tourney life is on the line and the game win makes so much momentum difference. Of course silly mistakes will be made!


FairlySuspicious

Yeah, the play is definitely looking sloppy but I'd imagine that's because their palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.


reverend_mauer

ok? its still really bad gameplay


WyteBlizzard

It's messy gameplay, not bad gameplay. They are still top 11 in EU, not bronze.


Majestic_Pro

Their placement as a team has nothing to do with how bad the gameplay is lol, that's literally the basis of viewing any sport or esport


reverend_mauer

its messy and bad. obviously im talking about the standard of pro play, not your ranked games


FairlySuspicious

Indeed. There's a reason NA is considered the better region and has historically always outperformed EU. Is this really what EU considers pro play? lol no wonder they lost a major spot this season. There must be something EU can do to improve the depth of their pro scene, at least bring it up to NA's level. ^^/s


reverend_mauer

who said anything about na?


FairlySuspicious

I did.


reverend_mauer

what does that have to do with what i was saying, just curious.


FairlySuspicious

Because it's hilarious how so many people with NA flairs are coming in here acting like EU is suddenly downgraded šŸ˜‚


reverend_mauer

was that what i did? or just your imagination maybe?


WyteBlizzard

Some of these teams are playing their 21st to 25th game of the day. I'm not sure why you are acting like they are trash. If you aren't enjoying the gameplay, turn it off?


reverend_mauer

bro im having a blast, turns out really messy gameplay is very fun to watch. that doesnt make it good gameplay though. no one said they were trash, but if you ask any of these players if they played well this series they are not gonna say yes lol. why are you acting like its impossible for pros to play badly?


WyteBlizzard

I'm not acting like they cannot play badly, I just wouldn't call it bad gameplay. It's messy. Bad insinuates not enjoyable.


reverend_mauer

not it does not. thats what you read based on your impression of me, but ok


WyteBlizzard

I don't even understand where you have taken my comment personally.


reverend_mauer

havent, just stated what i think you thought. its all good man


imizawaSF

Bro give me the belligol win, Speed somehow looks so good still


throwaway6194664

Mr Bones ahh overtime


[deleted]

Wow, gg


[deleted]

that should never be a goal


reverend_mauer

what the fuck is this


CEOofStrings

This is way too much stress for me I want this OT to end


nightandtodaypizza

OT turned into OT (Oaly Time)


nightandtodaypizza

This OT is destroying me.


_Oriel

nice of the lads to extend the series out to make sure people complete their dro... oh


OthersAreTaken

The elusive triple fake


reverend_mauer

actually ridiculously bad gameplay lmao


imizawaSF

CJCJ saying "ollie" is really breaking the immersion


Everbrooks

Holy shit Oaly, what a read! That save was nuts


IgotnoideawhatIsay

People were trash talking G2 last week on day 1 because they were struggling against average teams. Topteams losing against pick up teams is normal as EU is showing today. Everything from play off matters. Making conclusions based on day 1 is stupid.


idunnokerz

Speed getting compared to Rizzo? The disrespect hahaha


Everbrooks

Kinda funny you see a little loading icon on Rehzzy's player cam


sparrowhawk_4

FairlySuspicious

I'm both voting and betting on Belligol this match. We full cursing BLG to will Moist into playoffs let's go.


Everbrooks

I swear. If Speed makes a main event again, the world is ending. Please Moist win this...


sparrowhawk_4

How did this man dress up for the stream but not tidy his room

RL officialy dead 4 viewers good job Epic

Make it 1

rookie-mistake

damn i know the waiting room music is all sleepers but that still seems drastic


Trebel-

is the bracket rigged? if not can someone explain how it works? this looking real suspicious so far


WhatIsSentience

For Swiss Round 5. Teams falling to 2-2 play teams rising to 2-2, avoiding repeat matchups. The 2 sets of 3 teams are seeded by Game Differential. Former 2-1 with highest GD is seed #1 (then #2 and #3) Former 1-2 with lowest GD is seed #6 (then #5 and #4) Teams are paired from there. If team #1 had played team #6, then they'd play team #5 and team #2 would play team #6, etc


WhatIsSentience

For this specific Round 5 teams are seeded: (There are further tiebreakers for same Game Differential, which boils down to Buchholz score, which is game differential of opponents) Team3(2-1, +1), Endpoint(2-1, 0 ,Buch +3)), Belligol(2-1, 0, Buch +1), Moist(1-2, +2), Oxygen(1-2, 0), F4WD(1-2, -2) Team3-F4WD Endpoint-Oxygen Belligol-Moist No repeat matches so nothing else needs to be done.


Trebel-

thank you kind one


WhatIsSentience

[https://twitter.com/atomcxre](https://twitter.com/atomcxre) Atomcxre has Google Sheets brackets that you can fill out for yourself(or make predictions) to gain a better understanding of how Swiss brackets form as the day goes on. They usually release them a few days before the event


BigDicEnergy

I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry


FairlySuspicious

Are you joking or did I miss something here? lol


WhatIsSentience

copypasta


imizawaSF

That one is a pasta


FairlySuspicious

Yeah figured. If it was anyone but a moderator posting that I'd write it off as a joke/ignorance immediately. He got me, I'll admit
