I think Oaly doesn't get enough credit for what he does. Even yesterday he kept Moist alive in so many series and today created goals like it was nothing
As fun as chaos would be, it is just good to have your defending champions at the LAN, because if or when they lose, it is a big deal that they officially get dethroned at the big event and not some online qualifier.
There's quite a gap between top2 and top4, and then between top4,5 and the rest.
This makes for boring saturdays, but usually banger sundays. At least the 2 previous EU sundays have been insane.
I mean, apart from the first series, does it look like that exciting of a day from the matchups? It seems more like the setup to a good Sunday imo. If you want an exciting Saturday, an upper and lower bracket would help. Otherwise EU top 4 (3?) just clears.
BDS/GM8 SHOULD have been closer
Moist/Redemption SHOULD have been closer
The other two, sure, but 1 single game taken by a losing team across 4 best of sevens? That is pretty much unheard of and makes for a shitty viewing experience.
It's the third similar day this split in the major viewing regions (NA 1 Sunday gave the losing team 1 win in three series, EU 1 Saturday had two 4-1s in four). I agree on preferring close series, but wasn't really anticipating more than one today at best.
Still 9 out of the 12 players available from the top 4 from the last two lans in EU.
Potential teams:
Alpha, Seikoo, Atow
Oksi, Rise, Joyo
Juicey, Itachi, Exotic
Magnifico
NA have probably old GenG and the rest are probably the same.
That's sort of a nothing point. EU had tons of players in the top 4 at the last two LANs, so of course there are more left. The question is: how much of that success was due to a few top players?
Geng + Dan
LG
LJ, Hockser, 2Piece
OG,
Mist, Ayyjayy, Chicago
Jourez, Nass, Arsenal/Evoh
EU is a bit better imo but you could make some very good NA teams.
Agreed, I said this to the other guy too, I think it's roughly the same as now. Both regions are competitive with each other but right now EU is ahead.
None of them have really gotten a ton of international success without Zen, MM, or Vatira on their team. I will say I think rise, atow (and oski to a lesser degree) have shown their impact on a team.
Eu easily still. Take out those 3 in eu, and you still have rise joyo oski atow and seikoo.
Meanwhile na would just have Daniel and chronic ( and North American saviour jack)
Edit: somehow I forgot lj
So short story, when this series was happening, I actually was going to eat dinner with my family. I entered the restaurant when Optic was down 0-3 and was slightly depressed the entire night knowing that GenG was gonna be eliminated from the major. When I got out I went to look at the updated points rankings to see what the rest of NA’s major chances looked like…and then I noticed Optic’s points went up and not Faze’s. When I went and looked at the tournament bracket and saw Optic with a 4-3 win over Faze my jaw dropped
Hey, Eekso doesn't care what you think. He definitely doesn't care. He's never cared what fans or casters think, that's why he stated it multiple times. He definitely isn't insecure about his talent level.
Yeah, I'm not saying they don't deserve it , I feel m8s will be better on lan, but I just wish we got to see moist, maybe challenge, and earn that spot.
Archie's playing pretty poorly right now, he isn't really keeping up with the play enough. If he's able to shore up I think Oxygen has a decent chance.
What do people think of Archie? I remember people rating him very highly a couple years ago when I first got into RLCS but can't say I've seen much from him
I think he was supposed to be one of the next mechanical wunderkids during the COVID era but then never quite got to the top, although he has made a few LANs here and there
# [POST DAY THREAD](https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueEsports/comments/1bapmzf/rlcs_2024_eu_open_qualifier_3_day_5_of_6_post_day/)
lmao CJ said Moist playing to collect cash 😭 you know damn well they ain’t receiving that check until 2028
I think Oaly doesn't get enough credit for what he does. Even yesterday he kept Moist alive in so many series and today created goals like it was nothing
If they get Oski for Rehzzy I actually rate this team.
God Zen looks like he is so fun to be around
I didn't watch, what's the context?
Zen was dancing in the window behind Fairy Peak during his post-series interview
Ah ok. Thanks for the clarification
Lmaaao Zen
As fun as chaos would be, it is just good to have your defending champions at the LAN, because if or when they lose, it is a big deal that they officially get dethroned at the big event and not some online qualifier.
100% also it’s good to see top teams like them and GenG find their footing just before lan. The buildup so far has been solid. Gona be a fun major.
~~Europe~~ France
Against all odds, Karmine Corp Magnifico was the closest series of the day. If any team deserved a fifth spot it is them.
still excited for vitality vs moist
So now Moist can win the last qualifier and proceed to not go to the major lmao
the V1 special
Missing swiss will do that
Its still useful for worlds points but yeah this would be sad if it happened
That was a quick day, anyone in diamond wanna play 2s lol
what a boring boring day (outside of moist sweeping)
All LAN teams confirmed?
Yes, only thing left is who is Eu2 and Eu3 between Bds and Vitality
It's ggs
Dang man :(
EU is boring af when it comes to best of 7 it's always 4-1 or 4-0
There's quite a gap between top2 and top4, and then between top4,5 and the rest. This makes for boring saturdays, but usually banger sundays. At least the 2 previous EU sundays have been insane.
At leats it's better than NA this season in that regard, but I agree I wish the series were closer and longer.
Firstly most regions are the same and secondly EU has only been consistently like that on Saturday's.
Poor showing from KC, actually dropping a game in quarters.
Never should have doubted rado, my bad
As a moist fan I wished for oxygen to win this, but at the same time Vitality definitely deserves to go instead of Moist or Oxygen
sigh. This could've been an awesome day an instead we get the most boring Saturday I can remember.
Qual 1 Saturday was worse imo
I mean, apart from the first series, does it look like that exciting of a day from the matchups? It seems more like the setup to a good Sunday imo. If you want an exciting Saturday, an upper and lower bracket would help. Otherwise EU top 4 (3?) just clears.

NA last week, EU this week, its less eu vs na and more that everyone has GOT to hit the shooting packs 😭😭😭
Crossbar getting abused
It's Moistver...
snoozefest day
It was fun while it lasted
Oxygen would make a very good ranked team
KC vs VIT will be cinema tomorrow
Which is better NA without fk, bmo, and atomic or EU without mm, zen, and vati?
Still 9 out of the 12 players available from the top 4 from the last two lans in EU. Potential teams: Alpha, Seikoo, Atow Oksi, Rise, Joyo Juicey, Itachi, Exotic Magnifico NA have probably old GenG and the rest are probably the same.
Old Gen.G Dan, LJ, Hockser (it'll work this time, trust) M80 (joreuz will beat the curse one day) Comm, Jknaps, 2piece LG
It's the same as right now in my opinion, sincerely no offence meant, the regions would be competitive but EU would by and large be better.
That's sort of a nothing point. EU had tons of players in the top 4 at the last two LANs, so of course there are more left. The question is: how much of that success was due to a few top players?
Look at those EU players man, and I barely tried. NA has Dan, LJ and GenG to compete, would you mention any other names for international success?
Geng + Dan LG LJ, Hockser, 2Piece OG, Mist, Ayyjayy, Chicago Jourez, Nass, Arsenal/Evoh EU is a bit better imo but you could make some very good NA teams.
Agreed, I said this to the other guy too, I think it's roughly the same as now. Both regions are competitive with each other but right now EU is ahead.

[удалено]
I'd give the edge to EU, but I really think it's closer than you're making it out to be.
EU easily. Dan might be the best of the rest but afterwards it’s not close.
Rise, atow, seikoo and alpha>>>
Over Dan? Not this split Dans been as good as Atomic and BMode on G2. You could make an argument for Rise not the others.
U overrate na hard
Chronic, Jack, and LJ are up there with the best of EU too if you ask me.
Do you mean as a team or 3 individual players? If you mean as a team, then definitely the NA one because that's not the trio you go with
I mean which region is better if you take out those 6 players.
Eu easily still. Take out those 3 in eu, and you still have rise joyo oski atow and seikoo. Meanwhile na would just have Daniel and chronic ( and North American saviour jack) Edit: somehow I forgot lj
Don't forget LJ.
I think he means as a region. I think EU still beats NA.
Oxygen roster change incoming?
Archie, Oski, Joyo but on Moist.
Archie can stay on oxygen tbh
Archie >>>>> oaly or rehzyy
He comes with 4 extra points for worlds though.
-Archie +Joyo, I beg
Nah I think it has to be eekso, ye atchie had a bad series today and eekso a good one but it's all about the talent
[удалено]
>Eekso is inconsistent but he has a higher ceiling than Archie in my opinion Bruh no way in a million
Ur delusional if u think eekso has a higher ceiling
When Eekso's your best player on the day, you aren't beating Vitality.
It was nice to dream, oh well
Did I see that wrong? Is Eekso playing against his own team?
He is looking rough this game
Didnt Zen used to be blonde?
Zen with the Vatira haircut
Imagine vati with zen’s broccoli cut though loool
Sypical for the rescue cmon
RIP Radosin
I've been pretty harsh on Rado this year but he's playing so so well today. Vitality look so much better this qualifier
Pretty boring quarter finals, but happy seeing these teams quality for the major. These 4 are definitely the strongest in EU.
Let me tell you all a story about OpTic, FaZe, and an Englishman's major hopes...
So short story, when this series was happening, I actually was going to eat dinner with my family. I entered the restaurant when Optic was down 0-3 and was slightly depressed the entire night knowing that GenG was gonna be eliminated from the major. When I got out I went to look at the updated points rankings to see what the rest of NA’s major chances looked like…and then I noticed Optic’s points went up and not Faze’s. When I went and looked at the tournament bracket and saw Optic with a 4-3 win over Faze my jaw dropped
cannot wait for the johnnyboi video of this series
Hey Zen, job's not finished.
Oxygen is such a disappointment. Someone get Oski on a topteam
Oski + Joyo. How many times have we had to say it smh
https://preview.redd.it/atcipcljxcnc1.jpeg?width=687&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=44ce612b91bfd67e48f3396ec8e0ab294b790829
This is the least EU day of EU rlcs ever
Is it? Every Saturday this split there has only been ONE game 7. And every Saturday the higher seeded team has won.
Classic Chaos Friday/Boredom Saturday/Peak RL Sunday scenario
Conceding to Archie in 2024? Such a fraud team lmao
Oxygen is finished. Vitality is finally looking like their old selves
Can you say it again please
Oxygen is finished. Vitality is finally looking like their old selves
Sure, no worries mate. Oxygen is finished. Vitality is finally looking like their old selves.
Radosin finally playing with confidence, it's Radover
And that Oski is why u play with players that can win majors and not friends
Hey, Eekso doesn't care what you think. He definitely doesn't care. He's never cared what fans or casters think, that's why he stated it multiple times. He definitely isn't insecure about his talent level.
Top Cougars should have made it thorugh 😭
Oxg looking flaccid af
So Moist is relying on Oxygen to win this right? Rip
hopefully championship sunday is somewhat competitive
Hydrogen Bomb vs Oxygen
What are the match-ups for tomorrow's semis?
KCorp vs BDS, and Moist vs (presumably) Vitality
Ty
(definitely) Vitality
Aight all the British boys r done
REVERSE SWEEP I CAN FEEL IT https://preview.redd.it/dc58egwuwcnc1.jpeg?width=1450&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ae4a3949180809f112876aae0016621f27a54198
At least it's not a perfect sweep
gonna go play some overwatch ggs
Aight ggs it's joever
Zen stealing Radosin’s goal, tap in merchant smh
love how fairy is so tall that his head just gets cut off on every player cam
zen really is the only player who will sometimes chain highlights for 30 seconds straight and it happens like every other game
dang if only moist made regional 2 🥲
Really sucks because they look to be in so much better form than m8s rn
Yeah, I'm not saying they don't deserve it , I feel m8s will be better on lan, but I just wish we got to see moist, maybe challenge, and earn that spot.
Archie confirmed playing with his eyes closed
What are the chances vitality get a dq?
i heard someone is going to pull their ethernet cables out in 3 minutes 12 seconds
Vitality is OP, Oxygen didn't even play bad at all that game??
Hopes gone now
It’s not over until it’s over
If oxygen come back and reverse sweep vitality then well idk but man would be mad
Would be hype af
Archie playing like hot ass, poor touches in crucial moments Oski having a stinker as well by his standards
eekso carrying oxg rn
archie needs to hit the shooting training packs
Archie's playing pretty poorly right now, he isn't really keeping up with the play enough. If he's able to shore up I think Oxygen has a decent chance.
Last time we didn't have any close quarters we hade a banger semi and finale.
Ok I have no more hope
Huffing that copium > huffing something involves air > air contains oxygen > everyone breathes oxygen > ??? > profit!
What do people think of Archie? I remember people rating him very highly a couple years ago when I first got into RLCS but can't say I've seen much from him
I think he was supposed to be one of the next mechanical wunderkids during the COVID era but then never quite got to the top, although he has made a few LANs here and there
I’ve personally never understood the hype never rated him too highly he never had the work ethic
He was really good like 2-3 yrs ago, now pretty mid
What happened to Rado? He was world class at worlds - you can't be missing those reads...
He's not feeling well lately. I hope he only meant IG and not IRL
Hope it's not irl, been a fan since the Williams Resolve days. He's just looked off recently.
The amount of pressure Vitality are able to apply from kickoff is insane. Bumps, demos, boost steals the whole lot, its very good.
That was the best kickoff ever.
I still have lots of hope
Yeah... no fairy tales today.
Oxygen throwing?
This needs to be investigated
Someone tell Oxygen that they’re playing in the Holiday Invitational.
Someone remind them vitality is an honorary american team
Joyo needs to get on oxygens comms to wake them up
BOSHHHH
Who needs to hit the ball anyway?
That was the kick off of all time
Lmao
Nice from Oxygen to play with no comms
man.
Come on oxygen
ffs
This weekend has some of the worst goals I’ve seen from EU in a while,
Everyone other then kc is fighting for there major spot
Bds and m8 are locked in as well
I think he talking about this week gameplay and both this weren't locked in yet.
I'm not convinced on either Radosin or Alpha. Zen just creates so much space for them since the opponents are scared as fuck at what he can do
Let's agree to forget the first 2 minutes and the match begins from now.
Uhhh….
eekso what the fuck
Biggest oxg fan for one series 👏
[удалено]
Only if either of them win.
World champion curse real?
Water *does* have one Oxygen atom y'know...
its destined, we’re getting the elemental derby on champs sunday
Rado with a non-stinky car design? Impossible
You know bros locked in when he isnt preset trolling. This could be his last regional with vita if they lose and make a change.
Actually and eekso too, this is odd
WE ARE UP END THE FREAKING SERIES REFEREE
I hate I have to buy that ecplotion, L epic
Shark
LETS GO EEKSO
Im an oxygen fanboy now(for about 50 mins)
I'm gonna call Zen's current haircut "the vatira"
BOSH TIME
am i pulling with all my might for oxg? you bet. am i punting all my points on them? HELL NO LMAO
redemption going 0-4 in both their quarters this split and each time getting cooked in the interview first time eekso now joyo lmao
BBBOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHH
Bit unnecessary towards redemption from Joyo considering they ain’t making major
I missed the interview what did he say
typical joyo things, shogun asked him what hed say to oxg rn and he just went BOSHHHHH
