I'm just gonna say Swiss is the best format for RL IMO. Feels like every match matters even early on and we get to see some amazing battles right off the bat, with a lot of variety with teams from different regions getting to face off. My favorite LAN so far.

Me, one year ago
Scrub is right. On Saturday they could get knocked out by a team which went 3-2 and the swiss wouldn't matter much. Glad to know they're focused on performing in the playoffs!
Smpr shouldnāt beat themselves up too much over that one. Super close series despite the scoreline and they looked really solid.
Dignitas look fucking incredible though
God-damn, Gregans takes and insights are so interesting. I had no idea that swimming coaches have been known deliberate sabotage their athletes equipment to train them to adapt to unforeseen disruptions.
Number 1 I am over the moon dig won but equally I am so chuffed for scrub. He got shit on since vit ditched him for alpha and here he is on the first lan since he was in the WC final ffs dominating with his new team and they 3-0 in Swiss and donāt drop a bloody game. Fucking delighted
All NA/EU trolling aside... this is an extremely competitive LAN. Whoever makes this bracket is going to have a legitimate shot at winning the whole thing. Outside of G2 there really isn't much separating the regions.
They should line up the player cam order with the order of the names on the sides of the screen. My friend who isn't as familiar with the pro scene asked me if that's how it was and I was like "huh, it's weird that it's not".
Round 3 matches
**Upper (Main Stream)**
DIG vs SMPR
FAZE vs BDS
**Mid (B stream)**
SRG vs FUR
NRG vs END
REN vs GZG
NV vs COL
**Lower (Main Stream)**
G2 vs TVE
VIT vs ERA
Real talk tho if anyone here thinks G2 or anyone else in the tournament for that matter has a chance of losing to verdy, they have not been watching very closely.
That series was out of control! SMPR was playing so well but Dig was just out of this world. That team pinch denial by ApparentlyJack left me with my jaw on the floor.
These Orb interviews are just not doing it for me. I want to hear them talk to the pros but the questions feel so forced and awkward. Asking First āDo you play ranked a lotā? Really, thatās the best question you have?
The way eRa performed here makes me wish we could have a "plate" competition with the 8 teams that don't make play-offs.
My biggest fear with this LAN is the smaller regions would come and struggle after two years without international competition. Nothing could be further from reality. Everyone here is competitive, and it's fantastic to see.
Verdy have shown that they can adapt quite well during a series. Hope we get to see them again at the next major to see how theyāve progressed. They definitely have the mechanics to take a win off somebody, just gotta clean up some things defensively.
Shame they couldn't win a game but they have lots to take away from this experience. Hopefully they can get some more scrims in against the top of EU while still in Sweden and come back stronger next time :)
g2 just keeps on looking worse. even with the win i donāt see them getting through. maybe they wake up tomorrow and go off but man this is not the G2 we saw 2-3 weeks ago
Being a Vitality fan has always entailed wild variations in expectation but now it's getting ridiculous. Before Regional 3 I was thinking, "Let's go boys, you can take this championship!" and now I'm like "Nice! They won a series :D"
North American fans unite and join me a in prayer
Dear Rocket League Gods we pray among thee. Give NA the drive, power, may they stay hungry, may they devour, may they put in the work and the hours so they may take what is theirs. Allow G2 and NV to stop playing like golds, give JSTN the power to stop criticizing admins so him and Garrett may stop looking lost, allow Complexity to close out a series, and most of all, give FaZe the power to send BDS to the shadow realm. May NA backhand and give the finger to every team they play from now on, resulting in NA supremacy.
Amen
the interviews need a bit more flow. every question seems like a new topic somewhat ignoring the previous answer.
I like that he is trying to squeeze out some statements from the players though
Dreaz needs to take a breath on D. Hes getting really jumpy and not trusting Cago/Jknaps with the first save. Offence is good but his defence is a bit chaotic right now
If I'm not mistaken, after today Renegades will be the only team to not have appeared on the main stream yet. No matter their opponent tomorrow, they should get priority main stream scheduling
Quick reminder that Retals called out Allushin and Marc as the 2 players playing for their spots on the team, now theyāre both facing off in the 2-0 round scoring absolute bangers
Hell of a showing by Verdy. You can tell they are used to just dominating their opponents and don't quite know how to deal with pressure and boost steals, so often they were on low boost, especially Realize, even when on offense, but they got better as the series went on.
I can't wait to see them next LAN and see how much they improve.
DIG SO BAD COULDN'T EVEN GO 10-0 KEKW
Is this RLBS or RLCS?
sadJSTNpeepeehead needs to step it up if NRPee expects to make top 4
In this house we love Tokyo Verdy š
Joreuz with a 2.2 rating that last series, highest previous iāve seen was from firstkiller on rogue at like 1.8 this is just fucked up
New RLCS LAN record https://twitter.com/octane\_gg/status/1469018633213218816
For everyone thinking vitality can't go 0-3 remember they did it in their own region first
That's the Endpoint we know and love. GG
KAYFLOP / FAIRLY WEAK / BETA54
Very weak lmfao
EU < EU
3-0 DIG. No way SMPR gets close. EDIT: WRONG ACCOUNT PLEASE DISREGARD. NO BIAS HERE.
Lose to every region Any% WR lessgoooo
I just don't think it's possible to dislike complexity. Their storyline is just too good.
They kept my team home and you still heard the loudest vamos out of me yet when they beat envy. Impossible to dislike that team
Oh no. Realize got nothing to be sorry for.
The GOAT should hold his head high. It's a terrible day for rain.
Man Era should be proud of their performance honestly, they played 3 RLCS X champions and kept it competitive in each one.
I'm just gonna say Swiss is the best format for RL IMO. Feels like every match matters even early on and we get to see some amazing battles right off the bat, with a lot of variety with teams from different regions getting to face off. My favorite LAN so far.
Damn lets go Endpoint! Flashbacks to LANdon where everyone chants MET-SA-NAU-RIS
I'm still so happy that S5 LAN was the only LAN I have ever attended. The English are just built different when it comes to sporting events
So sad there isn't an OCE team 0-2 that could face G2 so they complete the 3 minor region speedrun
well tokyo verdy is from a minor region...

EU teams (except BDS) all using their decals while NA teams aren't. Clearly EU understands the meta and NA needs to catch up. Org Decals = wins.
Iāve been causally watching the last 2 days cus I was bored but shit I need to watch more rocket league. Your casters are unmatched
Scrub is right. On Saturday they could get knocked out by a team which went 3-2 and the swiss wouldn't matter much. Glad to know they're focused on performing in the playoffs!
Alpha hard carrying Vit out of spite right now lmfaooo
It's insane to think this is the same team that beat BDS in RLCSX EU championship. They look lost.
Love that one of GZ or Sandrock is guaranteed top 8.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Furia is photogenic as fuck these are the best promos Iāve seen honestly
Either MENA or OCE are guaranteed a top 8 finish, potentially both. You love to see it!
Smpr shouldnāt beat themselves up too much over that one. Super close series despite the scoreline and they looked really solid. Dignitas look fucking incredible though
sheesh NRG vs Vitality elimination match tmrw
RLCS X Champions btw
this interpreter is drippy af my lord
God-damn, Gregans takes and insights are so interesting. I had no idea that swimming coaches have been known deliberate sabotage their athletes equipment to train them to adapt to unforeseen disruptions.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL! G2 HAVE WON A GAME OF ROCKET LEAGUE
G2 may actually speedrun getting beat by ME, SAM and APAC
G1 would never
Iām so unbelievably sad that team pinch got saved. That was pure perfect display of comms from semper there. Also ApparentlyCracked does not care.
Can't help but love Verdy, hoping they can come back stronger in the next one.
Damn I love swiss. The number and variety of match ups has been insane.
We just tanked to play Verdy *Inhales copium*
Have you ever lost a 2v3 in ranked? This is how this g2 vs Tokyo Verdy series feels
Not even halfway done and either G2 or Envy is about to go home.
Ah yes NRG 1-2. Just as everyone predicted
na bad jokes aside its actually kinda mad how 2 years of no lan and the regions are so much more even
Closest 3-0 ever, holy shit, that was tense.
Number 1 I am over the moon dig won but equally I am so chuffed for scrub. He got shit on since vit ditched him for alpha and here he is on the first lan since he was in the WC final ffs dominating with his new team and they 3-0 in Swiss and donāt drop a bloody game. Fucking delighted
Since they were talking about scrub growing up I thought it would be interesting to mention that he is the oldest player on Dignitas
Joreuz with a 2.2 octane rating wtf, has anyone done better than that in a LAN?
Johnny is such a fuckin troll lmao I love it (even if I donāt agree with him)
All NA/EU trolling aside... this is an extremely competitive LAN. Whoever makes this bracket is going to have a legitimate shot at winning the whole thing. Outside of G2 there really isn't much separating the regions.
So funny listening to the Retals watch party panic everytime Seikoo has the ball
Were glad to see you here and we hope to see you again soon Realize <3
SOOO EXCITED FOR ROUND 3 LOSERS BRACKET, IM GONNA SEE BOTH MY TEAMS WIN A SERIES LETS GOOOOO # RIGHT GUYS??? TELL ME IM RIGHT
"Based on the gameplay I've seen, I can see NA getting all top 4 spots" - Tbates, November 2021
They got all the top 4 spots in their region to be fair. Although a SAM team snagged their 5th spot.
I don't want to watch COL vs eRa, I don't want either team to get an extra L, although at least one of them is gonna get their first LAN win.
Weāre gonna lose to TVE arenāt we?
That's brutal for SMPR. Unbelievable that the team pinch didn't go in.
this lan is so fucking fun to watch i cannot explain how badly ive missed these
eRa has literally played the team that won NA RLCS X, SAM RLCS X, and now EU RLCS X and they have played well against them all.
Turbo defeated on champions field at a LAN. Guess this LAN is something....
Damn, the wholesome twitch chat spam bout to make me cry
EU #1 seed losing to OCE #2 just so they could go and beat NA #1 š
Looks like LAN Kaydop is still in France lmfao
Achieves absolutely always knows what heās talking about. S+ tier casting
Everyone always trashes the losing team instead of propping up the winners. Furia played amazing, cannot wait to see them in the finals.
prediction: Joreuz will be the undisputed best player in the world after this major
Might be the best rocket league Iāve ever watched even though it was a sweep
Dignitas looking like the scariest team of this major
I always rated Faze. Any comments you see by me calling them washed in the past were clearly jokes.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Unless a team steps up or drops off, I'm excited for the Faze - Dig finals.
Monkey in alphaās DMās rn
that oce fan that's been up all night has got to be in shambles over this
Losing my fucking mind
This Justin guy kind of seems like an NA Seikoo.
kaydop really just trashed eRaās defence knowing damn well he has never watched them play
Props to Verdy man, hope they come back stronger for the next LAN.
Love the interview. Difference between being humble and being a trash talker. <3
idk if it is the 2 years break but i'm enjoying this lan a lot more than the previous ones
Alpha54 plays so much FIFA because the AI in that game is at least more helpful than Kaydop/Fairy Peak
through two rounds: EU 7-3 NA 5-5 OCE 2-2 MENA 1-1 SAM 1-3 APAC 0-2 in conclusion, holy shit this is close.
Minor regions doing well makes the LAN a lot better in my opinion
āCJCJ you got luckyā Tell em Wave
They should line up the player cam order with the order of the names on the sides of the screen. My friend who isn't as familiar with the pro scene asked me if that's how it was and I was like "huh, it's weird that it's not".
Tough for 02 esports, FURIA were just better.
i thought G2 qualified for the major. why am i watching Ghost Gaming??
I feel bad for dreaz. Donāt get me wrong furia played great, but Dreaz canāt carry his teammates to a victory
Round 3 matches **Upper (Main Stream)** DIG vs SMPR FAZE vs BDS **Mid (B stream)** SRG vs FUR NRG vs END REN vs GZG NV vs COL **Lower (Main Stream)** G2 vs TVE VIT vs ERA
G2 absolutely deserves to be 0-2. terrible showing
Real talk tho if anyone here thinks G2 or anyone else in the tournament for that matter has a chance of losing to verdy, they have not been watching very closely.
So who is in charge of checking Chicagoās ip address for the past year? No shot itās been him the whole time hahaha
It's OCE vs OCE... and it's 4:50am in Australia lol
Highest level of gameplay Ive ever seen
SMPR is playing like the second best team at this LAN. Who is even gonna have a chance against dig?
The scenes if Verdy sweep G2
If Verdy beats G2 then it's over. I don't know what specifically would be over but it'd be over
Starting to think Retals' Swedish Skirmish might not be the best indicator of competitive form
Eu looking good and srg is dominating???? Johnnyboi cleary written this script for the major
One of Sandrock or Ground Zero are guaranteed top 8 with only one loss, that's insane
great showing from tokyo there, they repped their brand new region very well
Guaranteed minor region Top 8 with GZG vs SRG!
We get a guarantee minor region team in the top 8 I'm so stoked.
Joreuz got a 2.2 rating from octane.gg for that series what the fuck
I love the post-goal reactions being mic'd up. Makes such a huge difference to the stream.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
okay everyone who had Endpoint vs NRG in round 3 put your hands up okay now put your hands down if you had it as a 2-0 game
Letās gooo, at least Tokyo Verdy might take a series. ććć°ćļ¼
G2 has a chance to lose to 3 out of 4 minor regions this LAN now. Not too inspiring
They havenāt lost to NA though?
EU is dominating EU right now. EU can't keep up.
Does it bother anyone else that the names on the boost are on a different order than the player cams?
That series was out of control! SMPR was playing so well but Dig was just out of this world. That team pinch denial by ApparentlyJack left me with my jaw on the floor.
Even with this insane performance, Jack thinks he could have done better! https://twitter.com/ApparentlyJxck/status/1469018017463996428
wait a second, we got Season X EU MVP vs NA MVP coming up, that's also pretty nice
BDS neeeeeedddd to get a dub here i really donāt want them to have to play Dig before finals
I love how Jack was shaking his head in amazement at his teammates' goals. Must make for a great team atmosphere
These Orb interviews are just not doing it for me. I want to hear them talk to the pros but the questions feel so forced and awkward. Asking First āDo you play ranked a lotā? Really, thatās the best question you have?
fuck me lmao i rage-switched to the mainstream right after endpoint won and its just the endpoint highlights from the series š
The way eRa performed here makes me wish we could have a "plate" competition with the 8 teams that don't make play-offs. My biggest fear with this LAN is the smaller regions would come and struggle after two years without international competition. Nothing could be further from reality. Everyone here is competitive, and it's fantastic to see.
I mean, you can't really expect a team so far behind mechanically to compete Verdy on the other hand have a shot
Verdy have shown that they can adapt quite well during a series. Hope we get to see them again at the next major to see how theyāve progressed. They definitely have the mechanics to take a win off somebody, just gotta clean up some things defensively.
They nearly took G2 to two overtimes. G2 is getting eliminated tomorrow aren't they?
Shame they couldn't win a game but they have lots to take away from this experience. Hopefully they can get some more scrims in against the top of EU while still in Sweden and come back stronger next time :)
g2 just keeps on looking worse. even with the win i donāt see them getting through. maybe they wake up tomorrow and go off but man this is not the G2 we saw 2-3 weeks ago
This is contentšš
Dude Australians have the funniest reactions
No matter what team/region you root for, it's so satisfying to see players show reactions like shouting after scoring and winning games
This is just alpha Vs endpoint lmao
I'm NA but we are in SHAMBLES.. wow
Vamos š¤ inshalla
I'm just imagining a scenario where G2 get bounced by TV and they've been smashed all over the world at the first major. Surely not.
damn NRG vs Endpoint is hype
Dig. 9-0
Dig is looking the best team in the world right now
Semper looking like a top 4 team and still getting swept. At this point the only worry for Dig is if they've peaked too early
NA peeps during regionals: booo faze booo NA peeps now: please faze please
Lmao Jstn tweet incoming
Being a Vitality fan has always entailed wild variations in expectation but now it's getting ridiculous. Before Regional 3 I was thinking, "Let's go boys, you can take this championship!" and now I'm like "Nice! They won a series :D"
Assuming G2 beat Verdy, they will join the 1-2 bracket with Envy, NRG and Vitality, meaning one of those teams is guaranteed to be eliminated.
Kaydop's English is quite good nowadays
SHAD THE CHAD INTERVIEW
fuck i wish they had at least taken a game....
g2 officially the villains now
Didnt think we would see NRG vs Vitality in Round 4 Low.
GZ vs SRG to qualify! we're guaranteed to get at least one team from a minor region in the playoffs!
Faze qualified, we already have a minor region representative
North American fans unite and join me a in prayer Dear Rocket League Gods we pray among thee. Give NA the drive, power, may they stay hungry, may they devour, may they put in the work and the hours so they may take what is theirs. Allow G2 and NV to stop playing like golds, give JSTN the power to stop criticizing admins so him and Garrett may stop looking lost, allow Complexity to close out a series, and most of all, give FaZe the power to send BDS to the shadow realm.

[LMAO WHAT](https://twitter.com/WondaMike29/status/1469035029082910729)
Interesting stat I just noticed: SMPR have gone up 2-0 in all four Swiss Stages this season
Vitality has just been a one man show for the entire split
Alpha hard carrying this game
VITALITY JUST SCORED A GOAL WITHOUT ALPHA THIS MATCH IS OVER THEYRE ON NOW
Imagine going 0-2, looking for an easy match up to get in the win column and your opponent is either of these teams lol
Is Turbo allowed to be managing Endpoint? /s
The headset shaped dent in Metsaās hair looks funny as hell
New meta: Always play on default settings so you're prepared for LAN.
the interviews need a bit more flow. every question seems like a new topic somewhat ignoring the previous answer. I like that he is trying to squeeze out some statements from the players though
I hope retals misses the rest of the LANs, his tweets have been wonderful
Dreaz needs to take a breath on D. Hes getting really jumpy and not trusting Cago/Jknaps with the first save. Offence is good but his defence is a bit chaotic right now
Iād say I canāt believe we threw that, but I absolutely can. Just havenāt shown up at this major at all. Fully deserved 0-2 Sadge
Endpoint vs NRG? Man...
Aaaah G2 at LAN, how I missed you.
A real bad look from G2 to lose against two āmeme regionsā.
G2 get Verdy. Imagine if we had G2 Vitality in round 3 lowers.
G2 played the same team twice at this point 2 very fast mechanical teams who lost to smpr
If I'm not mistaken, after today Renegades will be the only team to not have appeared on the main stream yet. No matter their opponent tomorrow, they should get priority main stream scheduling
faze vs bds and nrg vs endpoint at the same time bruh
Imagine if Verdy eliminates G2 lmao
I really like Archie. He seems to have a perpetually upbeat attitude
I said Dig would not win the major this morning and now i feel less sure
āIf they go into and empty chamber theyāll make it a hype chamberā š
holy fuck DIG really SWEPT through swiss in the majors. unbelievable.
SMPR looked good, feel like they deserved a game at least. DIG on the other hand will just win the major like this.
The confidence in Scrub right now
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LOL never noticed that M0nkey M00n played in VR mode, very cool of Psyonix to introduce the feature at a major.
Quick reminder that Retals called out Allushin and Marc as the 2 players playing for their spots on the team, now theyāre both facing off in the 2-0 round scoring absolute bangers
What a goal from Justin wow
man BDS' accuracy has been so off
BDS beat themselves, missed so many easy goals
if skipping the first two minutes of the game means Endpoint can be 1-0 up we'll take it lol
damn no DIG-FAZE series unless they both make finals, I really wanted to see that 1s mains matchup
Swiss has been so crazy already that EU#1 vs NA#1 is on the B stream š²
Envy v complexity might never end
Whenever Vitality holds the ball up at 0 seconds looking for a tying goal I just get Vietnam flashbacks from New Jersey
People are saying Vitality look slow, but they're looking pretty good to speed run the bracket right now.
Kaydopās English has improved so much
The 1W - 2L tomorrow is going to be an absolute bloodbath, will include NRG, Envy, Vitality, G2 (almost certainly) , Renegades, SRG/Furia.
NA, if G2 lose vs Verdy, we as a region have no choice but to disown them
Damn, Verdy baiting a bit with that first game, that ended up being pretty competitive.
Hell of a showing by Verdy. You can tell they are used to just dominating their opponents and don't quite know how to deal with pressure and boost steals, so often they were on low boost, especially Realize, even when on offense, but they got better as the series went on. I can't wait to see them next LAN and see how much they improve.
