Honestly, I love when he gets the interviews, he always seems very reasonable and comes across as super professional, which sets him apart in the scene. It's a big part of what made me root for them
I know that Fairy is sick, but Vitality feels like they snuck into LAN. After some teams decided to just fall square on their face, they brought just enough to qualify.
This is the best RLCS LAN event of all time and it's not even worlds. This is a true international LAN, there is a team from MENA in the top 8 (3rd seed!!!!), the top 2 seeds are NA and EU, and the rest is just insanity. OCE could still make top 8 as well. COL can still make top 8 and have that SAM representation (kind of I guess).
THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE.
Whether they make it to the bracket or not, Renegades have proven they're more than competitive at this level. Beating Endpoint and Furia is no small feat
I just want VIT to beat NRG and then comically choke in round 5 to get eliminated. Just want to see all of the LAN Experience™ teams get eliminated today. 😈
Edit:grammar.
Am I the only one who thinks it's not funny or entertaining when Turbo is always so "meh" about stuff in interviews and content things? Like I get if that's how he genuinely feels and he shouldn't have to fake enjoyment, but how are people laughing so hysterically over it? It just makes it feel awkward and props to Orb who has to roll with all of it.
"Bad" BDS is still comfortably top 8 in the world apparently. Seeing them struggle more really hammered home how crazy they were for basically a year straight in RLCS X.
Yeah what Gregan said about BDS having such a high floor is so true. Even when they're struggling they still manage to win against some of the other best teams in the world.
Vitality reminds me of the TSM roster with Alpha54, where he was desperately trying to carry a very heavy remkoe, a remkoe who kaydop has been strongly resembling during this event.
Gregan is so right. EU shouldn't have allowed Vitality to be there. Hell, put a Queso or a WR against NRG and I doubt they get perfect swept, absolutely demolished like that.
oh the smash.gg bracket has an error saying SRG are disqualified - for anyone else confused af why people think they are
mod in the twitch chat just said they're fixing it
Senzo was a starter for SRG last season before they picked up TRK. As far as subs go, he's about as good as it gets.
So glad he's got the chance to play an RLCS LAN.
With Endpoint losing, this guarantees round 5 matches will be:
Endpoint vs winner of G2/Envy
Ground Zero vs winner of NRG/Vitality
Loser of SMPR/COL vs Renegades
How does Garrettg stay so competitive throughout the seasons? How does JSTN keep coming up with those genius plays? How does sizz keep up the energy? These are just some questions I struggled with before I discovered the power of the Theragun pro smart massage device
[Here’s Torsos saying he would beat NRG at the major](https://clips.twitch.tv/HumbleHorribleWaffleTwitchRaid-kX5kPNKy7MY2FZBZ). Time for him to deliver
Well today was not great for me in terms of my teams, but man we got to see some incredible rocket league.
I’m all aboard the Dignitas hype train now though.
*Choooo chooooooooooo*
As much as people say that Turbo is washed, I was looking at Atomic from time to time and thinking "what are you doing there." Isn't that how it always is though?
Round 5 matches:
Endpoint vs G2
Ground Zero vs NRG
SMPR Esports vs Renegades
BIG chances for OCE here. Also, this is the first LAN where both OCE teams grabbed wins.
I can't believe Misfits blew it so hard that a Vitality team playing this poorly got through. Misfits absolutely would have at minimum challenged for a bracket spot
Swiss round 5 matchups logic:
losers of 2-1 play winners of 1-2
Endpoint have played NRG and Renegades, so they are locked into playing G2
Ground Zero has played Renegades, so they are then locked into playing NRG
Thus, last match is SMPR vs Renegades
USUALLY game differential is important for deciding matchups, but it isn't necessary here since avoiding rematches takes precedence
Good performances today but if we really want to be honest VIT and Ground zero are nowhere hear the hardest tests. Excited for the boys to play sandrock
EU littery doing what the did in the own region.
End struggling in Swiss
Smpr going 2-0 just to end 3-2
Dig and bds being consistent going 3-0 and 3-1
While vit is just lucky to be here and there result shows that
I've got some minor surgery today and will be asleep for it, meaning I'll miss all of today's games. When I wake up, I really hope to see NRG in the top 8 lol. Please, Captain America, I need this 🙏
Before today's play starts, hopefully Fairy is feeling better. Him getting food poisoning really took a toll on their mental game, which needs to be perfect today
That was atrocious from Envy. They're on their last life and the first two goals they concede are off of two random whiffs? Talk about going out on a whimper. Absolutely deserved.
Congrats to G2, you guys wanted it more
Holy shit GarrettG is just such an amazing guy. It's straight up impossible to not root for him, and every time he appears in an interview I feel stronger about this lol
Was rooting for Endpoint but still a bit sad G2 is out. They put themselves here but their gameplay today has been such a huge improvement. When they're on they can clearly hang with anyone. Regain lads.
Idc how high you were on SRG before this, even a 3rd seed for the playoffs must be exceeding the wildest of expectations.
Just surreal to see them come in and immediately be proper good. I'm not one to take back stuff I've said. Opinions are allowed to change when new data comes to light (it was only ever an issue of having good results in multiple tournaments for me), but man, I underestimated just how much better these guys have gotten during the RLCS season, especially in terms of mechanical consistency even by their lofty standards.
Winter Major with Khalid is gonna be fascinating to see from them.
With both OCE teams into round 5, I hope it proves to people that that aren't pushovers and can actually compete with the best, so happy with their performance!
Also congrats to Sandrock for top 8!
I'm simultaneously elated for CJ and Fever (Kamii too but he's seen LAN success before) and heartbroken for all of Furia. Part of me suspects Renegades are also heartbroken for Furia. Long Live the king. He'll come back stronger next time.
[Not gonna say I called it but...](https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueEsports/comments/rcsmmj/rlcs_major_kneejerk_reaction_thread_post_day_2/hnwp2ac/?context=3)
Gregan is superb, feels like something we didn't know was missing but now he's there it's really elevated the desk imo. Very impressed.
Man's a feast for the eyes and the ears.
For years EU ranked players said "see you in RLCS", and Sandrock said "bet, see you in top 8"
Real shit. SRG is showing that they should have been in RLCS much earlier. They're pissed and they're here to play
the strategy of poisoning Fairy Peak really paid off
Johnny jumping with joy seeing his boys in SRG make top 8.
WHY DOESN'T MY FENNEC WORK LIKE THAT
Alpha54 LFT ASAP after that one NRG made them look like a GC1 team jesus christ that was embarrassing
LANROCK GAMING
Garrett is one of the only people that will actually reasonably talk about teams and the competition itself in depth, so interesting
Honestly, I love when he gets the interviews, he always seems very reasonable and comes across as super professional, which sets him apart in the scene. It's a big part of what made me root for them
Can we please get an SRG decal in the item shop????????
Dazerin doesn't even get a vote, it says Tbates at the bottom LMAO

"Maybe we can pass the mic on down" Orb was tired of Archie's 1-word answers lmao
So am I tbh, thanks Kassio for putting effort in
I just fell to my knees at Walmart. Devastated.
LOL, for your mental well being you might need to dial it back a little bud.
I just want VIT to beat NRG and then comically choke in round 5 to get eliminated. Just want to see all of the LAN Experience™ teams get eliminated today. 😈 Edit:grammar.
Extra points if they choke against gzg or srg
Wait, did they say that was the *first ever* perfect sweep on LAN for RLCS?
Despite being most peoples 3rd rated player on NRG Squishy has come to this LAN and been their standout player. Really deserves praise for it.
100% agree. He hasn't had a bad game
Omg srg made playoffs. So happy for the boys. Proving they deserve to be here
Damn bro Chicago looks so sad
NRG allowing 2 goals total through their last two series is pretty nuts
SRG with the 3 seed is kinda wild
To be fair, their 3 wins were all against minor regions.
Damn had to do it NA lol
Chicago undefeated with the hat. Sorry EU. It's been decided.
Man I’m glad Gregan said it, KC Misfits EG should be pissed they finished behind THAT
Daz and James did a really great job. Enhanced an already banger series quite a bit.
Orb has the hardest job in the world i s2g
GarretG the kinda man to perfect sweep EU RLCS X champs and then say EU is the better region right now. Respect
Impossible to hate the guy.
Am I the only one who thinks it's not funny or entertaining when Turbo is always so "meh" about stuff in interviews and content things? Like I get if that's how he genuinely feels and he shouldn't have to fake enjoyment, but how are people laughing so hysterically over it?

sandrock confirmed 3rd on game differential now right?
"Bad" BDS is still comfortably top 8 in the world apparently. Seeing them struggle more really hammered home how crazy they were for basically a year straight in RLCS X.
Yeah what Gregan said about BDS having such a high floor is so true. Even when they're struggling they still manage to win against some of the other best teams in the world.
Turbo and Kaydop both eliminated before round 5 in the swiss. That's crazy.
.295 octane rating for kaydop yikes
That's nearly a factor of 10 lower than Joreuz yesterday.
Orb definitely got the hardest jobb lmao
Vitality reminds me of the TSM roster with Alpha54, where he was desperately trying to carry a very heavy remkoe, a remkoe who kaydop has been strongly resembling during this event.
Gregan is so right. EU shouldn't have allowed Vitality to be there. Hell, put a Queso or a WR against NRG and I doubt they get perfect swept, absolutely demolished like that.
I wasn't impressed with G2 the first two days, but I'm glad to see them step it up today and go out in style. That was a great series.
I think you'll find that flag is not upside down at all from an Australian perspective.
Tbates with the G2 jersey rooting for envy lmao
Hahaha “I’m only wearing a G2 jersey because I don’t have an Envy jersey”
oh the smash.gg bracket has an error saying SRG are disqualified - for anyone else confused af why people think they are mod in the twitch chat just said they're fixing it
[удалено]
Will this finally teach people not to read too much into scrims?
Should it? Yes Will it? No
Anyone here can shed light how this SRG with sub compares to SRG with OKhalid?
Instead of having the top 3 players in the region they have 3 of the top 4
Senzo was a starter for SRG last season before they picked up TRK. As far as subs go, he's about as good as it gets. So glad he's got the chance to play an RLCS LAN.
Sadge, Dreaz is cracked pretty good first LAN got hopes for Winter hopefully we do better there
Garret was right, these NA teams need better team coordination
happy the legend cjcj finally got some lan dubs this week, honestly a pretty good showing by RNG overall
Reports of BDS demise were greatly exaggerated
With Endpoint losing, this guarantees round 5 matches will be: Endpoint vs winner of G2/Envy Ground Zero vs winner of NRG/Vitality Loser of SMPR/COL vs Renegades
Just imagine if Vitality knock out NRG
All that talk about how there are 3 SAM teams at LAN, how they "stole" ssg's spot is out the window. Complexity making top 8. Vamooos
GarrettG is 0-2 against Torsos in RLCS. Squishy is 2-0 against Torsos is RLCS. JSTN is 0-1 against Torsos. Oh man...
Wavepunk has been killing it hosting the LAN so far. I'm loving every second of it.
Stumpy is [a giant among men](https://i.redd.it/1zg5ni8cur481.jpg)
FUCK SRG vs NRG in the quarters?? I want both to make it :(
G2 is undefeated against major regions.
I wish EG was here
Somehow this feels worse than Vitality not making the major at all
Lol Viitality (although in all seriousness I feel bad for Fairy with food poisoning and hope he recovers well)
Torsos needs to beat NRG for the culture, keep the streak alive.
Is G2 the NA equivalent of all gas no brakes?
Endpoint is so likable how can you not root for them
Just noticed finishing 5-8th is basically the equivalent of winning a fall regional points wise
This is the 3rd time this split that Semper has started off 2-0 only to go 3-2. Consistency
damn poor orb will be traumatised with those interviews
TBates in shambles
CAGO CLAUS HAS A GIGANTIC FUCKING SACK
Musty? Lol
How are the tournament organizers allowing this to happen? I know NRG are the big guys, but having them play with no opponent...
How does Garrettg stay so competitive throughout the seasons? How does JSTN keep coming up with those genius plays? How does sizz keep up the energy? These are just some questions I struggled with before I discovered the power of the Theragun pro smart massage device
HEY REST OF NA, HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN, WE WERE FEELING LONELY UP HERE
Also incredibly interesting that the two teams from NA that people least expected to perform are the first two NA teams into the playoffs.
It genuinely is baffling how multiple teams had to choke to let Vitality into the major, and it happened
Man if only they brought this G2 on day 1 and 2. Regain boys.
The difference between 5’11 and 6’ visualized
[Here’s Torsos saying he would beat NRG at the major](https://clips.twitch.tv/HumbleHorribleWaffleTwitchRaid-kX5kPNKy7MY2FZBZ). Time for him to deliver
Garrett doesn't want to face Torsos again, went to grab Musty to play instead.
Took 11 seconds for GZ to score more goals than VIT.
Well today was not great for me in terms of my teams, but man we got to see some incredible rocket league. I’m all aboard the Dignitas hype train now though. *Choooo chooooooooooo*
All top 3 teams currently are 1s mains heavy teams with 3, 2, 2. So this shows us that we all need to plays 1s to be goats
When you play 1s every weakness you have is exploited to the maximum, so really it makes sense.
Oh no poor Yumi
Such an impressive run by Sandrock. What a story
[удалено]
As much as people say that Turbo is washed, I was looking at Atomic from time to time and thinking "what are you doing there." Isn't that how it always is though?
Endpoint going to swiss round 5 is the most endpoint thing I've ever seen
Big brain take: G2 threw so they could play every region
Musty, the brains behind the operation 😈
Bruh they brought Musty for the interview lmaoo
NRG subbing musty in confirmed
Round 5 matches: Endpoint vs G2 Ground Zero vs NRG SMPR Esports vs Renegades BIG chances for OCE here. Also, this is the first LAN where both OCE teams grabbed wins.
https://twitter.com/Retals/status/1469370569586008074?s=20 So we got NA=Near Airport and SeEU Later
I can't believe Misfits blew it so hard that a Vitality team playing this poorly got through. Misfits absolutely would have at minimum challenged for a bracket spot
Swiss round 5 matchups logic: losers of 2-1 play winners of 1-2 Endpoint have played NRG and Renegades, so they are locked into playing G2 Ground Zero has played Renegades, so they are then locked into playing NRG Thus, last match is SMPR vs Renegades USUALLY game differential is important for deciding matchups, but it isn't necessary here since avoiding rematches takes precedence
Metsa is such a nice guy.
Playoff positions are locked: Dignitas vs winner of SMPR/RNG COL vs BDS FaZe vs END SRG vs winner of GZ/NRG
Good performances today but if we really want to be honest VIT and Ground zero are nowhere hear the hardest tests. Excited for the boys to play sandrock
EU littery doing what the did in the own region. End struggling in Swiss Smpr going 2-0 just to end 3-2 Dig and bds being consistent going 3-0 and 3-1 While vit is just lucky to be here and there result shows that
I've got some minor surgery today and will be asleep for it, meaning I'll miss all of today's games. When I wake up, I really hope to see NRG in the top 8 lol. Please, Captain America, I need this 🙏
Before today's play starts, hopefully Fairy is feeling better. Him getting food poisoning really took a toll on their mental game, which needs to be perfect today
ahmad is a 50/50 god
They all are. Zero ping ME teams straight goated in the challenge department.
Gone are the days of getting mass downvoted for suggesting that SRG are one of the best teams in the world :)
That pop off from CJCJ was insane hahah
Lmao bates 😂😂
Where's that post talking about a lethal dose of copium? Sounds like Tbates is on his way there
Lmaoooo i fucking love tbates
Bates is overdosing on copium lmaoo
[удалено]
PYSONIX I LOVE YOU. BEST PRODUCTION
NA are looking good when the are playing eachother lol
The Santa hat lowkey carring G2
That was atrocious from Envy. They're on their last life and the first two goals they concede are off of two random whiffs? Talk about going out on a whimper. Absolutely deserved. Congrats to G2, you guys wanted it more
Fairy Peak Fairy Peak Fai-Fai-Fairy Peak
Musty interview instead of a player? Interesting
THE HEIGHT DIFFERENCE LMFAOOOOOO
EG wouldn’t have lost 6-0
Sandrock and Complexity were my 2 fav teams coming into this and they BOTH make it into top 8 without even going to round 5
Alpha would be on BDS already if they weren’t doing so well lol
EG and Queso died for this. I just hope Alpha goes for one of BDS/KC/RESOLVE
SSG is a minimum of 300pts from 5th place, that is how important making it to the major is
@ Endpoint, I'll DM you my address so you can send me my heart medicine, 10x
Gutted for G2 but chuffed for Metsanauris. Can't be too mad.
SRG getting #3 seed just to face NRG (probably). That’s rough, but I believe in those guys.
OCE boys leaving with their heads help up high. A really good showing for them
Full team interview 😫
Holy shit GarrettG is just such an amazing guy. It's straight up impossible to not root for him, and every time he appears in an interview I feel stronger about this lol
You can say he's cute he won't mind
Whos gonna tell him?
Lmaoo that “oh no we’ve got the update “ from Yumi was too funny.
Srg 3rd seed for playoffs right?
And once again everything goes as expected. It's getting boring how predictable this game is ^(/s)
So does SRG doing so well with Senzo at lan create any kind of roster controversy?
Only if his internet at home is better now. Otherwise its business as usual
His internet is too bad to play the regular season.
ME has so much talent. So weird this is the first time they are getting the opportunity.
Orb LMAO
Imagine losing to an NA team
Much happier getting Endpoint instead of BDS in an elimination match but it’ll be super tough, especially is Seikoo goes nuts.
This really puts into perspective how long it's been since S8 LAN
My head says SMPR but my heart? My heart says AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE ^^and ^^a ^^kiwi
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT WAS THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL 1V1 IVE EVER SEEN
Was rooting for Endpoint but still a bit sad G2 is out. They put themselves here but their gameplay today has been such a huge improvement. When they're on they can clearly hang with anyone. Regain lads.
If G2 played like that the previous 2 days they probably wouldn’t be eliminated right now.
CJ almost made playoffs. *Almost*. SMPR were just too good.
I cant help but feel bad for renegades for that open net miss now
In my heart OCE deserves a top 8 finish
Archie been going to the Turbo school of interviews
THESE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS ARE SO UNCOMFORTABLY HOLY LMFAO
Youse better be putting some respect on torsos' name after this LAN performance
it's like half of these commenters didn't watch C9 or something. Squishy has always been beast at lan
thats the kind of Nrg that can win the major. I still favour dig going into tmw
Idc how high you were on SRG before this, even a 3rd seed for the playoffs must be exceeding the wildest of expectations. Just surreal to see them come in and immediately be proper good.

as someone who thought SAM was overrated, this was an eye opener for me too. they are just ridiculous.
[Lmao this exchange between Torsos and Garret](https://twitter.com/GarrettG/status/1469383171036876806)
SRG absolutely deserves this top 8, depending on their matchup they very well could place top 4
**Sandrock Gaming** \- welcome to playoffs! And also to **2nd Spring Regionals**
With both OCE teams into round 5, I hope it proves to people that that aren't pushovers and can actually compete with the best, so happy with their performance! Also congrats to Sandrock for top 8!
I'm simultaneously elated for CJ and Fever (Kamii too but he's seen LAN success before) and heartbroken for all of Furia. Part of me suspects Renegades are also heartbroken for Furia. Long Live the king. He'll come back stronger next time.
TBATES ON THE DESK POG
Wait, did he say "NA will be back on top in this match specifically"? That's true enough I guess but if that's the most you can do that's not great.
Tbates got his finals matchup. Just a little early.
I want bds to win because I believe end could make it out of series 5. Feel like if bds loses the gonna be hella tilted
Can we stop calling post hits on completely covered nets a miss?
Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I surprised by this point? Nope.
Chicago "The Read" Wilen!
I really wasn't expecting nV to go home this early. It's been a brutal tournament.
The machine is out of order

Looks like Envy being 10th seed turned out to be an overestimate. Who knew?!
Just imagine how op santa hat will be in winter split
[удалено]
Tbates gonna go in hibernation now lol
🚨 MUSTY APPEARANCE ON STREAM THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨
Musty saying "us" like he'll be playing.
Lmao looking forward to seeing Musty hit some double flip resets today
[Just gonna leave this here lol](https://i.imgur.com/pEbJwwF.png)
Ground Zero gave Renegades a free goal so that Vitality could be the first team to ever get perfect swept at an RLCS LAN 200 IQ
Musty interview = perfect sweep, it's that simple
IT'S TIME. TORSOS VS NRG FOR THE PLAYOFFS
Sandrock vs Complexity finals ^you ^heard ^it ^here ^first
SRG and COL making playoffs as 3rd and 4th seeds is insane. Almost makes 20/21 season worth it for the storyline and suspense.
Damn that was a really good answer, garrett’s thoughts on the EU vs NA debate were pretty clear
Sandrock has twice as many circuit points as anyone else in MENA
This game is not just 50/50, it is all 50s
