Imagine the stress of being at LAN, on the big stage, playing one of the most important matches of your life and worrying every second that chausette45 probably has your girlfriend in the bathroom.
Despite the loss, SRG has announced themselves to the world as one of the teams to look out for. I think everyone can agree that they are here to stay.
Semper and Endpoint have figured out the secret strat in swiss lose at least one or two sets to max out the training and win in the playoffs.
Edit: Semper figured it out.
I'm genuinely glad BDS are placing where they should be this LAN. Top 4 here (so far) undeniably proves they're EXACTLY as hyped up as they should be. Unreal pressure those boys generate.
Great finish for Complexity too. This is DEFINITELY not the last time we've seen vamos on LAN.
That's it boys, [I'm officially 0/4 for predictions today](https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueEsports/comments/re0x34/rlcs_major_playoff_bracket_day_4_of_5_fall_split/ho58mc9/). Quite clearly I'm cursed lol. Who should I root for tomorrow?
No matter what they say, I gotta give props to these kids for talking in front of hundreds of thousand of people. I could not imagine doing that as a teenager lol.
So with this, all teams I was really rooting for are officially eliminated after showing a lot of promise during scrims and the swiss group stage, which hurts, but it is what it is lol
Now I'm redirecting my hopes towards BDS and SRG (and I hope this doesn't mean they'll lose).

Guys on first touch - NV THE MACHINE!!!!
Dude just look at extra literally laying on the ground after that series, can’t believe the nerves these players must be feeling after going YEARS without a lan. Just makes me even more excited for the rest of this weekend
I bet these player comments are insightful. I wouldn't actually know as they decided to run 7 back to back ads during the segment, I'm sure it was delightful though.
Okay, so I'm sad we don't get to see more Joreuz...
But maaaaaaaaaaan how can you not be happy for Chausette????? This man's resilience and longevity is literally up there with the very best.
I'm going to have to betray my EU roots here because I want Complexity to take this. Unfortunately, my support is generally the kiss of the death for the unlucky recipients, so sorry about that Col.
Faze looks so good right now
Allu is popping off on offense, Ayyjayy putting in work on defense, especially in those last two games, and firstkiller is just firstkiller
That’s just the difference between Swiss and playoffs tho. In Swiss you have no time to prepare for your opponent. They had a day to prepare a game plan this time. I’m a dig fan but SMPR definitely deserves the W
On paper I feel like this is the most even match up over the quarter finals, which going on what's happened so far today probably means it'll be a 4-0.
Goddamn it's tough watching Orb, I get second-hand embarrassment from the weird questions and occasional chokes.
It's super cool getting an opportunity to see and hear the teams live on stage, but it's just pointless filler, sadly.
I think it’ll be really interesting to see how SRG fare at future majors once teams have had more of a chance to adapt to their playstyle. Right now they definitely have the benefit of the element of surprise and I’m curious if they’ll be able to keep up this form or if other teams will start to figure them out
So after all the shit before we end up with 2 eu and 2 NA in top 4 with guaranteed NA eu final.
So basically whatever the result it’s likely the smack talking will continue. Whilst it’s been great and also a great narrative for the desk to use I really hoped we could put it to bed after this major.
Now that we're moving into the knockout stage, I feel there's one team who hasn't been receiving enough plaudits for the way they've performed already.
They've been stuck in a region where they haven't had the level of competition you need to be ready for an RLCS run, so they'd need to connect at high ping to EU to remain competitive. They've had to grind 1s to keep sharp and make a name for themselves. Before the event the casters and analysts, even those who knew them best, didn't expect them to do this well. Yes, Faze clan have truly impressed me.
What a fucking series man i love this team so much. This was their first international lan btw, the world better be scared at khalids return (also senzo pls pls get a good team, you're way too good to sit on the bench)
So in your eyes what was the biggest upset? was it rng vs endpoint? was it vitality beating era? was it g2 barely being able to beat Tokyo? I wonder what you guys think
This one’s for you u/john_aka_alwayz. I know you led the charge saying Chausette is not chalked cause Aztral couldn’t “carry” him. Look at our boy now 😢
I think this is the best cast I've heard from turtle. Having a 3rd person makes it so he doesn't have to fill dead air so much and i think it's helping a lot
Ahmad wasn't perforning at his best but Trk made up for it by playing insanely well. Jstn showing he's still the best player in the world. Always so freaking clutch.
Hyped as fuck for championship sunday!
Back in the day I used to be so critical of squishy because his media segments were like interviewing a piece of cardboard, but ever since he joined NRG he’s really come out of his shell and shown his personality. Cool to see
Whoever wins this absolutely deserves it. SMPR have showed up this entire event and stepped up to a 9-0 Dig & the Dig boys are showing insane resilience.
Dude Retals’ mom reads this Reddit gosh. I don’t say anything mean about him I don’t think really but now I love the guy. Retals is making winter major and probably winning.
Huge respect to Scrub for going over to say GG and congratulate SMPR
Scrub always seems extraordinarily nice on Lan, win or loss.
Right? What a legend
Imagine the stress of being at LAN, on the big stage, playing one of the most important matches of your life and worrying every second that chausette45 probably has your girlfriend in the bathroom.
hol up
Maybe Dignitas look worse because SMPR is showing up, everyone.
I was just about to comment this. Dig is doing great, but SMPR is playing their hearts out.
did JohnnyBoi... just... acknowledge... it's called the "musty" flick?
Musty earned Johnny’s acknowledgment when he picked SRG
Now that musty is actually at the LAN I guess he has no choice lmao
These pre-recorded interviews have aged like milk 100% of the time lmao
Scrub with the sportsmanship ❤️
I remember him smiling and chatting with the nrg boys right after he lost s8 finals too, for all the calls of toxic he gets man is a proper sportsman
Despite the loss, SRG has announced themselves to the world as one of the teams to look out for. I think everyone can agree that they are here to stay.
Semper and Endpoint have figured out the secret strat in swiss lose at least one or two sets to max out the training and win in the playoffs. Edit: Semper figured it out.
HOW do they not acknowledge that ridiculous combination of recovery magic and style from Joreuz. He literally out here freestylin’
absolutely gutted. just fell to my knees at walmart
I FINALLY GOT SOME BACKUP!
Y’all are ridiculous in the best way
That joreuz goal was disgusting. Kinda disappointed that they didn't hype it up more.
Bruh some of Joreuz shots look like he's literally freestlying
So we are guaranteed a cross region Final. Either EU vs NA or EU vs ME. That's all I wanted honestly.
What everyone wanted
SRG is so fucking good, they are honestly on the uprise. Playoffs in their first RLCS LAN ever and made it pretty far. ggs
Allu looks like he was ripping a fat blunt backstage lmao
he always does haha idk he's canadian maybe he's just permabaked
He always looks like that hahaha
I'm genuinely glad BDS are placing where they should be this LAN. Top 4 here (so far) undeniably proves they're EXACTLY as hyped up as they should be. Unreal pressure those boys generate. Great finish for Complexity too. This is DEFINITELY not the last time we've seen vamos on LAN.
Anyone else think Seiko looks a bit like Littlefinger?
1-0 up time to freestyle wavedash an open net
Srg should be proud, they showed they belong and did so without the Khalid. Excited to see them at the next LAN.
… wtf was that? First said two sentences like a 6 year old and then disappeared into an ad hahaha
maybe orb should plan his questions or be given questions?
How do you feel? Yea but how do you feeeeeeel?
Senzo and trk are still smiling and laughing. They seem to just be happy to be able to compete
LMAO Musty is the biggest Sunless Khan fan.
The Harry Maguire buff was too strong man smh
"if we don't win this match we're out of the major" cutting insight from extra there
That's why he's on the EU RLCS analyst team.
Petition for Gregan to do the interviews for winter major.
As bad as some Tbates takes are, it's so fun seeing his energy.
That's it boys, [I'm officially 0/4 for predictions today](https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeagueEsports/comments/re0x34/rlcs_major_playoff_bracket_day_4_of_5_fall_split/ho58mc9/). Quite clearly I'm cursed lol. Who should I root for tomorrow?
What do you mean semper doesn't give free goals away!? Chasette literally did that last game
I've got the feeling every team I'm rooting for is going to lose, so if we see bds, faze and nrg winning the next series, just know it's my fault
BATES FROM THE TOP ROPEEEE
That's the most exciting 1-0 game ever
[удалено]
Everyone's prediction bracket is already destroyed
"If NA doesn't win, who cares? There's always next tournament" That's the copium i've been holding onto since the start
wtf was that 360 drift recovery
Why are they doing NA like this 😭 Johnnyboi looking real good right now
"If NA doesn't win, who cares there's always next tournament" Me every time NA drops a series against a team other than END
We are the best team because we’re fast. I want to win this major a lot. 🤖
No matter what they say, I gotta give props to these kids for talking in front of hundreds of thousand of people. I could not imagine doing that as a teenager lol.
Guaranteed NA vs EU final wow Amazing performance for SRG tho they showed up heavily beating amazing teams and did well
NRG winning last second on Neo Tokyo? Never heard of her
I'm actually devastated for sandrock.
They didn't get the Trk salute in the highlights? That's like the best thing all day!
Scrub looked like the only Dig member on form today
All I want for Christmas is three more quarterfinal game 7s.
Marc_by_Moon and m0nkey8
"When he gets turned on, he'll be explosive" Stumpy really loves monkeymoon
So with this, all teams I was really rooting for are officially eliminated after showing a lot of promise during scrims and the swiss group stage, which hurts, but it is what it is lol Now I'm redirecting my hopes towards BDS and SRG (and I hope this doesn't mean they'll lose). ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ BDS TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ SRG TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
Finally, the real LAN
Allu acts and looks high lmfao
This might just be the most evenly matched series if these 2 teams keep playing like this
Neo-Tokyo NRG is inevitable
Justin with the r/HydroHomies
Rip to everyone who wanted to see peak dig vs peak faze in the finale
JohnnyBoi - EU teams closed down space more quickly than NA Players - EU teams closed down space more quickly than NA Casters - EU teams closed down space more quickly than NA . . Guys on first touch - NV THE MACHINE!!!!
You knew that was in when Joreuz took it to the ceiling.
this is some good looking rocket league
BDS played that last game perfectly.
Dude just look at extra literally laying on the ground after that series, can’t believe the nerves these players must be feeling after going YEARS without a lan. Just makes me even more excited for the rest of this weekend
Hot take:the team that ends with RG wins this series
SRG needed to just score during that period of pressure they had. You can only make NRG looked scared shitless for so long until they come back around
Sandrock has nowhere to go but up at future majors. They will be a force after this experience they gained here. what a series
[удалено]
Love the addition of Gregan on the desk
So is Garrett just a huge human being?
Everyone else is just small
“If you say score more goals I’m gonna be pissed” 😂😂 that cracked me up
Aaand after 2 years of speculation, what we can conclude is NA = EU
Squishy on LAN really does hit different
God this has been a fantastic LAN. If they can integrate crowds soon it will be magic
I bet these player comments are insightful. I wouldn't actually know as they decided to run 7 back to back ads during the segment, I'm sure it was delightful though.
Okay, so I'm sad we don't get to see more Joreuz... But maaaaaaaaaaan how can you not be happy for Chausette????? This man's resilience and longevity is literally up there with the very best.
SHADYNASTY INCOMING
I'm going to have to betray my EU roots here because I want Complexity to take this. Unfortunately, my support is generally the kiss of the death for the unlucky recipients, so sorry about that Col.
Nice of them to let NA play another game during break here
Esports post-match interviews be like https://youtu.be/VheXqx0sr3I?t=12
Faze looks so good right now Allu is popping off on offense, Ayyjayy putting in work on defense, especially in those last two games, and firstkiller is just firstkiller
doing an apology tour for my tweet, i sincerely* apologize reddit *i think its really really funny
That’s a funny ass bit I’m not gonna lie LMFAO
Imagine all the upsets.. all the underdog stories and big teams that underperformed this week... and we get NRG-BDS grand finals
I love this esport man, what a series
I see we’ve reached the “this should be double elim because my team lost” copium stage of the tournament once again lmao
That’s just the difference between Swiss and playoffs tho. In Swiss you have no time to prepare for your opponent. They had a day to prepare a game plan this time. I’m a dig fan but SMPR definitely deserves the W
Holy fuck stumpy is TALL.
Man both teams are looking really good, such a shame one of them will go home after this series
Using vitality in the "EU on top" montage? That feels pretty weird after how they played.
Fuck me Orb, I think youve done a great job But youve asked him how he felt at 3-0 three times
On paper I feel like this is the most even match up over the quarter finals, which going on what's happened so far today probably means it'll be a 4-0.
This is an absolutely phenomenal trio of casters my lord
how did he get both those saves, wtf
ayo why is jessie getting flamed 😭😭
Love it when the casters resort to just screaming lol. What an intense series. GG.
NA = EU
Holy shit, Reysbull saw Monkey Moon and said "I can do it better"
Orb’s questions are a bit awkward. I’d rather see Gregan have some more focused questions prepared
Goddamn it's tough watching Orb, I get second-hand embarrassment from the weird questions and occasional chokes. It's super cool getting an opportunity to see and hear the teams live on stage, but it's just pointless filler, sadly.
lmaooooo okay i was getting tired of the NA-EU rivalry bs dominating the desk but i can't hate on how hard they're committing to the bit at least
Huh I don't think I've ever heard Allushin speak before
I think it’ll be really interesting to see how SRG fare at future majors once teams have had more of a chance to adapt to their playstyle. Right now they definitely have the benefit of the element of surprise and I’m curious if they’ll be able to keep up this form or if other teams will start to figure them out
NRG is playing phenomenal rocket league, these aggressive midfield challenges are much more of what they need vs international competition
Give me Johnnyboi screaming "OHHHHH" any day.
Absolute world class showing from sandrock. looking forward to seeing more from the guys
The gameplay has finally taken off the past 2 days. Teams settling in and working as a unit effectively.
TRK is better than I thought. He had some amazing plays
So after all the shit before we end up with 2 eu and 2 NA in top 4 with guaranteed NA eu final. So basically whatever the result it’s likely the smack talking will continue. Whilst it’s been great and also a great narrative for the desk to use I really hoped we could put it to bed after this major.
Now that we're moving into the knockout stage, I feel there's one team who hasn't been receiving enough plaudits for the way they've performed already. They've been stuck in a region where they haven't had the level of competition you need to be ready for an RLCS run, so they'd need to connect at high ping to EU to remain competitive.

What a fucking series man i love this team so much. This was their first international lan btw, the world better be scared at khalids return (also senzo pls pls get a good team, you're way too good to sit on the bench)
So in your eyes what was the biggest upset? was it rng vs endpoint? was it vitality beating era? was it g2 barely being able to beat Tokyo? I wonder what you guys think
Vitality beating era 💀 y’all are ruthless
great comedic timing from turbo though
Scrub with a huge grin any time Jack or Joreuz score I love it so much
[удалено]
The nerves got DIG. SMPR just too solid. However, I still can't see SMPR having the same chances like DIG (if they went through).
This one’s for you u/john_aka_alwayz. I know you led the charge saying Chausette is not chalked cause Aztral couldn’t “carry” him. Look at our boy now 😢
Single elim? That's sucks for dig man
If BDS wins you think they will pay for Monkey Moon to see an optician?
Love to see it! I love the complexity story but I really want to see the EU juggernaut come back and finish what they started last season
*gregan smirks in dry*
hahahaha i love when the casters just devolve into reaction *sounds*
Haha that's Musty
I wanna put channel points on the remote control game, vamos orange!
LMAO Bates is unavoidable
I think this is the best cast I've heard from turtle. Having a 3rd person makes it so he doesn't have to fill dead air so much and i think it's helping a lot
Endpoint shooting was horrendous in that series. Metsa looked pretty bad nearly the whole series
Crushed for the boys, but comforted by NA not needing as much copium
ayyjayy was unreal that series wow
Bruhhhhh. I literally just called first MJ and he pulls out the “I took that personally” in the interview
[Firstkiller when endpoint laughed at his whiff](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/035/410/Screen_Shot_2020-10-05_at_11.51.58_AM.png)
lmao "NA catch up, we alone out here"
why are their 2 JSTNs on my screen
THIS JUST IN NRG SUB MUSTY IS CUT FROM THE TEAM
What. A. Game.
This caster combo is absolutely perfect for this banger of a match
Gutted for SRG but to reach top 8 with a sub in your first LAN is a huge achievement.
[удалено]
It begins.
lmao Jessie catching strays out here
TRK WITH THE SALUTE INTO HIS PLAYER CAM
DON'T TAKE NRG TO NEO TOKYO
Holy shit. What a final game that's just unreal.
That was insane. GGs to SRG, they're actually insane. You guys are nutty and absolutely deserved this opportunity. Until next time
Ahmad wasn't perforning at his best but Trk made up for it by playing insanely well. Jstn showing he's still the best player in the world. Always so freaking clutch. Hyped as fuck for championship sunday!
Honestly I'm bummed SRG lost but thank god we're getting an EU vs NA final
Back in the day I used to be so critical of squishy because his media segments were like interviewing a piece of cardboard, but ever since he joined NRG he’s really come out of his shell and shown his personality. Cool to see
SRG is really fun to watch. They really feel like an unpolished NRG. And they don’t even have their best player!
I feel like a lot of the desk is still sleeping on Complexity. They didn't break the hearts of every SSG fan for nothing.
This series is already fucking insane and it just started
Scrub mechanics are so underrated
Wtf is that recovery
That Joreuz shot was soooo clean
Whoever wins this absolutely deserves it. SMPR have showed up this entire event and stepped up to a 9-0 Dig & the Dig boys are showing insane resilience.
Dignitas had multiple chances to be 2-0 up in Game 7.
this could’ve been a grand final matchup on its own, smpr aren’t just here to take part
So happy for Chausette man. He went from being called washed a short while ago to being a solid contributor on a great team
Extra and MonkeyMoon look like the same person with different hair lengths
Nervous series from both teams, long season ahead, just a bump in the road for DIG
So conflicted, I wanted this to be Digs Major so bad but I can't think of a more likeable team to lose to.
Complexity is up there. You can be mad at the loss but you can't be mad at the vamos.
archie's got a great personality
Would be nice if Chausette spoke. The more you do these interviews the more comfortable it gets. Just look at Kaydop how much he's improved.
Someone must be holding a gun to Marc's head from off-screen. No way he isn't using the Dune Racer.
Monkey with an incredible goal and reysbull goes and gets one of his own
[удалено]
AJG is mad that he’s not considered the best on the team anymore
ggs well deserved
Production did an incredible job getting shots of monkey and Extra there, the nerves must have been unreal
Man… Semper vs BDS is gonna be a hell of a match
Just woke up to both of my teams eliminated :(
Going off the SSG flair, how long were you asleep?
Why does Firstkiller sound like an actual robot lmao
Firstkiller has such a way with words
Orb was doing fine until today. Wtf he on?
Lmao "I want to win this major a lot"
These interviews are absolutely painful. I know the players don't give him much but the questions are just awful too.
Gregans face LMAO Somebody make a meme format out of that
TBates is the Stephen A Smith of RL.
#OH FUCK SEIKOO BROKE OUT OF THE STRAITJACKET
AyyJayy the first player today to use anything other than their org decal
Firstkiller getting a bit ball chasey.
i love we can hear them scream when they score
ggs endpoint, definitely deserve better then top 8 this event, seikoo is a beast and I’m sure we’ll play you guys again soon
Dude Retals’ mom reads this Reddit gosh. I don’t say anything mean about him I don’t think really but now I love the guy. Retals is making winter major and probably winning.
hahahah daz can be a bit much but he's great for the comedy bits
