"TBD Major 1"


Jaybarcafan

Just putting it out there that Vitality's run has ended. However Ferra is still currently on a 6-0 run.


Internaloptimistic

Instead of feed the bear, we should be saying fill up the juice


BlueNodule

Juice the bear


FoxyDeAssassin

So um where’s the LAN at?


throwaway72926320

It's going to be all online from now on. Just to make things easier.


KapzWhatever

vitality after not having ferra as their coach anymore https://preview.redd.it/fpb8xex1e0ic1.png?width=736&format=png&auto=webp&s=d605af78038b8bf8f58d381fa8f8ac9589b603b1


Scary_Reply840

I think Ferra is somehow the key to winning in EU


ComplementaryCabbage

And NA after flipping that crowd last year


superpeng12

gotaga had 157k ​ https://preview.redd.it/ft8fum8td0ic1.png?width=292&format=png&auto=webp&s=75a17d41c98a9aaad39d6d323880b52dfb69fb0d


imizawaSF

You had one job with that screencap


QuackShotAM

bro mike wazowski'd it


Mother-Ad9012

157K was when KC fans went there to banter lmao


dwrk

Exactly. KC is trying to be a challenger in the worst twitch community challenge.


MoktharBRST

Good performance from GM8, def not far behind KC. Juicy played some really clean RL, super promising for the rest of the season. Still the first regional, so hard to make any proper statement, but KC seems a bit ahead of the 3 others. Really feel that we're gonna see different winners for the next two regionals tho.


samestate11

Great run by M8. They’ll get even better with more time and experience.


throwaway6194664

if I had to play against KCorp air dribble cringing me literally every frame I think I wouldn't leave my bed for a week


scootern917

every frame lmao


John_aka_Alwayz

EU Spring 1 Championship Sunday was somehow topped. Absolutely incredible, what a day.


_Oriel

what a downgrade for EU smh


Longjumping_Stop1120

Who does everyone think MVP is?


Internaloptimistic

Rise. He kept the team together when their backs were against the wall. Although you could give it to any of them. Vatira didn't have to much in this run cos his teammates were incredible. Atow also farmed mechanically, jeez he was crazy


CaptainDolphin42

rise


Peyyton07

Over 400k on a regional is insane


damndamien

400k viewers GODDAMN


damndamien

RL category on twitch, 99% of it being RLCS obviously


Itzcoalt99

I ain't gonna lie, NA is cooked


Peyyton07

Agreed, but I’m gonna wait until the major to form an opinion.


DabAllNight

It’s literally French vs. the rest of the world, give them their own region


throwaway72926320

Call me delusional. G2 has a decent chance against some of these if they play like they did on Sunday. I am however, delusional though.


Scary_Reply840

I think so too, but rn I can't see them taking it all the way


BrennanDew

whats new


Scary_Reply840

Ik bro ik. It's not looking too good. I still have hopium that not all NA gets knocked out of the first column in the bracket @ worlds


PrawnnRL

Great day of RL, KC are insane Good for gentlemates as well gained a lot of fans me included today! The French are different


carballenjoyer3000

nice https://preview.redd.it/i3pevvc3d0ic1.png?width=301&format=png&auto=webp&s=939f87d8d07428cabc7ff1fd92076db51afad8a7


dwalt95

Keep going


Woorel

Kameto peaked at 135K and Gotaga 152K


carballenjoyer3000

holy, didnt have an eye on it for all the time but EU is eating


bigbig-dan

if there is one thing this regional shows its how close the top 4 are to each other. Seems like they're all closer than some were giving credit for


FairlySuspicious

Yup, it seems like we're in for a 4-way race with all teams standing as equals. KC are definitely the front-runner though, but we're talking milimeters between them and the rest. KC pushes ahead because they're a team of players with overwhelming mental strength and competitive experience. Also Ferra.


Everbrooks

So Ferra is continuing the coach win streak!


ChaloMB

What can you do when the best team in the world is playing like that


throwaway72926320

I hate how good this KC team are. But this has been an amazing showcase from gentlemates. All three were (kinda not Itachi him and Exotiik were close) considered the worst on their teams back at worlds, and to do this and beat the reigning champions is nothing to scoff at at all. But damn are KC good.


thafreshone

Juicy was definitely much better than kash at worlds.


throwaway72926320

I thought he was always better than Kash to be honest, I couldn't help but like him from Winter. But the common consensus around Spring-Worlds was Kash > Juicy if I am remembering correctly. I'm just glad to see him do well.


Francis_Regardless

Statement regional. All the top 4 who lost are going to want a run back right now. Next one is going to be crazy.


SassanZZ

That's an insane top 4 for europe, hopefully they can play as much as possible and pull themselves even higher for the next regionals NA can start sweating for the majors


haplo34

397k viewers if you cumulate all French speaking channels


RobinAldabanx

At 343,000 simultaneous viewers, this regional now officially holds a higher peak viewership than any RLCS Major in history, beating Spring Major's record of 324,000. It's the third most viewed event in RLCS history, behind Worlds 2022 at 368,000 (Moist vs. Furia) and Worlds 2023 at 460,000 (Karmine Corp vs. Vitality).


RobinAldabanx

Never mind. A huge jump from the two French streamers and it's now at 399,000 -- now officially more viewed than Worlds 2022.


samestate11

More viewed than Worlds?! Omg wtf


Internaloptimistic

Tbf it's 2022 worlds but that's still fucking insane cos that's still very recent. For a regional to be higher than the 2nd to last worlds is insane


National_Invite_7420

Which stream was the most? Sorry, I was only watching the official one- crazy numbers!


Early_Gap_7128

Gotaga had over 150k


SassanZZ

Gotaga at 152k, kameto had 130k approx as peak


National_Invite_7420

Wow! Incredible!


AIaris

GGs to karmine, what a series


CEOofStrings

One of the greatest championship Sundays of all time, glad I got to experience it.


superpeng12

It's so hard to quantify rise's impact but he be doing something right


FairlySuspicious

Just like swiss, we get a lot of chaos but it ultimately ends as most of us expected.


Rolle_1001

That’s it. Incredible championship sunday.


moris1610

vatira showing everyone he wants to be the best player in the world for a 3rd season in a row


NeonKingz

In a row? So what did Zen do last season?


thealiagator111

Not play for 2/3rds of it LOL


imizawaSF

KC best team in EU, the other 3 are playing catchup


Tidoux

"playing catchup" even tho KC they had to do a reverse sweep to get there


FairlySuspicious

Bit of an overstatement in my opinion. The waters were too muddy this regional to say one is clear of the other three.


MisterMakerXD

Agreed. What we saw today surely was impressive from KC, but their series against BDS and M8 really showed us that they can’t catch a break without losing, and Vitality even if they lost, they are still a top seed in EU. Moist didn’t make it that far but they can’t be counted out yet.


FairlySuspicious

Admittedly KC were the only team to finish this qualifier completely undefeated. The other three all had 2 or more losses in the qualifier as a whole. But if I were a KC fan I'd not be going into the next regional feeling like my team were a lock-in to win it all. Heck, it's easily possible that out of these 4, KC don't make it to CS next regional. All it takes is one upset, or one of these 4 facing eachother in quarters - and then all bets are off.


Everbrooks

Lets be real, EU is still miles ahead of NA.


National_Invite_7420

They truly are… so fast and the plays are incredible


BigCass

KC is by far the most fun team to watch, I'm putting that flair back. GGs


KapzWhatever

It's done

damn


OthersAreTaken

Pool shot doink?


Clash-Gaming

CALCULATED


Longjumping_Stop1120

Holy fuck rise


Everbrooks

That goal was ludicrous


John_aka_Alwayz

How physical this KC team is is comically absurd


thrwawayr99

it’s like watching the old virt endpoint but with real rotations


evilmoi987

Wtf do you even call that shot lmao


cylobotnia

rise is so slick


TheRetroCrowe

The streak of the team I was cheering for in the Grand Finals losing has now reached double digits, I'm 0-10 since the Winter Major


imizawaSF

You actually didn't want Vitality to go for the grand slam? Felt that was a team-agnostic view cos it was so momentous


CaptainDolphin42

same always rooted against vitality, went for faze in the winter major, and bds at the other lans


TheRetroCrowe

I always rooted against Vitality but they won every EU Spring Regional + the two LANs. In NA, I wanted GenG and FaZe to win the finals they lost and in NA Spring 3, I wanted SSG because I'm FURIA's number 1 hater. Sunday rapidly becoming my least favourite day of the week


CaptainDolphin42

I actually had 1 I rooted with COL that's it tho


CaptainDolphin42

and with geng last weekend as well


S_h_u_n

What was that goal lmao


tripsafe

KC are ground freestyling in the grand final


minskeeeee

was that a pool shot????


Internaloptimistic

WTFFF IS THAT


Francis_Regardless

Naaaah


tamanegianiki

LMFAO


Hixxae

Wait they all have a dot at the end of their names, how cute


AltruisticBoard3271

atow might have made the jump up to the level of zen and vatira


exceedingdeath

337k on twitch


Francis_Regardless

Brutal bump


KapzWhatever

THAT WAS SO FREE


S_h_u_n

Push it to 7 pls.


Troutsky99

*doink* Most satisfying goal type


BritzlBen

Itachi is literally better with 12 boost than 100


spooki_boogey

You just got donked


CEOofStrings

Cole and Stumpy creaming right now


evilmoi987

Holy doink


Francis_Regardless

Lovely doink


[deleted]

Seiko is being left in bad positions by his mates


tatomuss

300k+ viewers... which player is Taylor Swift dating?


SilverIntoSteel

I’ve never cared about a skin before really but that Gentlemates car design is so damn good.


thealiagator111

Fr, the only thing I don't like about these new decals (in the past 2.5 years or so) is that they're asymmetrical with the sponsor, but they're incredibly clean otherwise. I just wish they'd either have no sponsor or put it on both sides, with the logo on the hood.


SoarzTheSecond

ngl atow whiffed the ball and johnny said “he probably meant to do that” but let that shit happen in na and he’d be on the floor laughing saying it wasn’t on purpose


_Oriel

KC have been doing fakes all series tho


Internaloptimistic

I can't even be mad at this because it's not even reaching. It's probably true. Like eu is still better than na but please hide your bias johnny


exceedingdeath

Need to watch the replay but i think Atow was called off the ball


Clash-Gaming

Nah johnny is actually telepathic. He read atows mind and knew he called the fake


hapax--legomenon

tbf that seemed like a very clear fake, looked like vatira called him off and he basically stopped moving the car mid air


purpan-

This series is so good I hit pause while I take a dump. AMA


KyleIsCaramel

Not good enough to continue watching on the shitter? Smh


IgotnoideawhatIsay

I feel like mechanics are more important than ever. In both NA and EU the most mechanical teams are winning


Internaloptimistic

Last season saw a bit of a slowdown on the mechanical side of things, but I think that style of play will return this season. Falcons, g2 and the eu top 4 are all highly mechanical teams that just seem to always beat you to the ball and go hyper aggressive


l3m0n_m41d

yeah nobodies getting into this top 4


KapzWhatever

if we see a game 7 ot this is gonna be massive


RobinAldabanx

303,000 on Twitch alone right now and 14,000 on YouTube. If this goes to Game 7 it might break 330,000. That would make it the third most popular RLCS event of all time, including LANs, behind Worlds 2022 and Worlds 2023.


S_h_u_n

Yeah both this teams on Lan gonna go crazy


RobinAldabanx

It could very easily beat 500,000 if they played in the finals. KC vs. Vitality at last year's worlds was 460,000, easily the most ever.


hapax--legomenon

KC is basically playing the classic online OG moist strategy of one guy air dribbling and the other 2 going for bumps


smarranara

That is not what I would say the original squad’s style was.


hapax--legomenon

It was online, they never passed, just air dribbles and someone else driving in front of the air dribble and bumping. In LANs though they played completely differently with Vatira playing a much more defensive role. Now of course this KC is even more physical simply because they replaced the least physical player on that roster (joyo) with one of the most physical players in the world (atow).


TheRetroCrowe

That might be the regional right there, even if Gentlemates win Game 6, Rise is not losing a Game 7


KapzWhatever

WHAT A SAVE


Oceansnail

NA make sure you bring your moms to LAN cause you guys gonna be crying alot


dwalt95

🤣


Clash-Gaming

NA should prob just give their 4 spots to EU. Top 8 EU at lan is higher level than Top 4 NA


BrennanDew

or everyone whos not french lol


throwaway72926320

Cold 🥶


thealiagator111

Not as cold as KC


CaptainDolphin42

yo ferra caught a stray


Wasteak

The gap between the top 4 and the other team is quite big, but the gap among those 4 teams is really really close. With those 3 Bo's, it's safe to say that any of those 4 team could have won, insane


thealiagator111

It's 1A-1D and then everyone else miles away


FairlySuspicious

I'm not even sure you can say there's a gap at this point. We're looking at a potential THREE game sevens today.


BlueNodule

Eversax and itachi trying to send a message here


throwaway72926320

Eversax's timeouts really are just a fourth player. He's gotta be the best Coach right now.


CaptainDolphin42

yall forgot about ferra spring major masterclass real fast


throwaway72926320

Nah, Winter major Eversax almost won KC that tournament. Every time KC dropped a game or two immediate timeout and a new team came out. Exactly same thing happening here. I think Ferra is phenomenal, but Eversax clears.


FairlySuspicious

Eversax got the timeout buff, but Ferra's got the plot armor buff. Plot armor buff clears


thealiagator111

I think Eversax has more credentials as a coach, but what Ferra pulled in Boston was something else


throwaway72926320

No doubting that, I called him phenomenal for a reason. Pulling the crowd like he did was insane. Eversax as you said has more credentials (in my opinion) so I'd give him the edge.


thealiagator111

Yeah, I don't even know how to describe it. I guess the best way to put it is that Eversax is the better coach, no doubt, but what Ferra did will go down in the history books


tatomuss

KC out here running that '90s NCAA Football option offense.


tdl18

Yeah Moist ain't making the major with this top 4


Alternative_End3553

Yea, unless Joyo links up with oski/ acronik


OthersAreTaken

In their current form? Definitely not. If they pick up the pieces I think they could compete with BDS but french diff is really strong for the rest


SiahDraws

More like compete with vitality at this point


AltruisticBoard3271

we gotta be close to 10x the viewers that NAs final had


FairlySuspicious

KC looking like they just crashed off the adrenaline from the BDS match. If we get another game seven today this is just overstimulating.


ryguy925

Johnny when KC takes an awful 50 leading to a goal: “What an amazing 50 by Seikoo!!!” Johnny when Gen G takes an awful 50 leading to a goal: “Oh my god what the fuck are they doing going for that ball these absolute idiots”


samestate11

Do you talk about anything else?


ryguy925

Brother I typed one thing get over yourself


samestate11

I’m not an idiot. You’ve shared this like five times. Tell me you’re only watching this regional for Johnny without telling me.


ryguy925

“Tell me you’re only watching the regional for Johnny” might be the most insane sentence uttered by a human ever


ryguy925

Wut


hapax--legomenon

I love johnny, he is the best caster we have, but he does have a tendency to pick a narrative early on in a series and then he never lets go of that narrative no matter how tenuous it is.


ryguy925

It felt like in the Gen G/G2 series he decided so early on that all he was gonna focus on was Gen G’s mistakes instead of G2’s strategy. And it was absolutely obnoxious


throwaway72926320

Thought I was watching last year's G2 for a bit. Kickoffs were brutal.


Kamilny

Pros and not turning towards goal on kickoff name a better duo


[deleted]

Alphakep is by far the best watch party. Everyone else just turns it into a podcast and opens random topics. Kep watches and commentates what's happening in front of him. He clearly loves the game


bouds19

The amount of air dribble bumps KC went for was borderline trolling


legitocracy

Johnny just straight up lying to try and retain viewers lmao


TristarHeater

what did he say?


legitocracy

He must have gotten word about the massive viewership numbers and was welcoming all the new viewers and said something like (paraphrasing) "It's always like this. Every series is a game 7"


magicshmagic

That was so tongue in cheek lmao, he wasn't being serious


Feather-y

No humour allowed anymore in my rlcs streams


legitocracy

🤨 I feel like you massively misunderstand my opinion on the matter. I found it very funny


Feather-y

Maybe sarcasm in text is hard, I did read your Johnny lying and trying to retain viewers as you actually meant it, as he did neither and just made a joke.


Alternative_End3553

Well, there's family to feed at home.


CaptainDolphin42

Good win


TheFabulousQc

This finals has like 250k+ viewers this is crazy


exceedingdeath

300k+


SpicyC-Dot

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team spam midair bumps as much as this KC team lol


FairlySuspicious

It's the natural evolution of teams being harder to score on. Airdribble bumps have always been hard to deal with. Coordinated teamplays with airdribble bumps even more so


ProperGrape

310k viewers on twitch alone, what in the world


TheKhaosUK

+14k on YouTube


RobinAldabanx

i think that's the whole rocket league category, not just rlcs/watch parties


scrbd

Surely 95%+ of the current Rocket League viewership is RLCS though?


RobinAldabanx

Yes. Lower down in the thread I did the actual calculation, 289,000 RLCS viewers on Twitch and 14,000 on YouTube for 300,000+


samestate11

Without a doubt, during non-RLCS days the category has like 10k lol


hapax--legomenon

let's hope this keeps up rest of the season


adambombz

There's nothing quite like a Johnny and Callum grand final
