Yes I would be willing to send replays ^^

Everything you said is accurate. The problem is GC and down players rarely make decisions well. Either they always stick around without boost, control every ball in front of net in a 1 v 2 or push another of these ideas to an extreme. I would love to see more content about players being honest with their capabilities and just letting the opponents make mistakes. Bc they will almost all throw if you bang it over their heads and let them try to make the 1/10 perfect play. This is how my old man hands gets GC in multiple playlists every season.

Yes, because rocket league is a situational game. You must be able to recognize what the best play is according to your situation, which realistically, comes after thousands of hours of gaming.

I have like 4k hours in game and still can’t decide correctly. And I don’t know why. IFK how to tell what my mental block is. IDK if I’m OVERESTIMATING my abilities and playing too aggressive, or underestimating and too passive. But it’s probably both of those in any given game

I do not think it is a "problem", it is a part of learning curve. Step 1 - don't miss the ball when you don't mean to Step 2 - do not hit the ball when your teammate intends to hit it Step 3 - when you hit the ball, hit it in the direction you intend too Step 4 - when you are not hitting the ball, position yourself to follow up the play Step 5 - do all previous steps faster Step 6 - refine Step 1-5 until perfection

Timestamps: 0:21 - 1 - *Positioning too aggressively too often* 2:33 - 2 - *Failed wall-play attempts* 4:17 - 3 - *Challenging when you're beat* 6:36 - 4 - *Double-jumping for mid-height balls* 8:41 - 5 - *Poor dribble control* 11:12 - 6 - *Rushing your touches* 13:27 - 7 - *Taking too long to make a play* 15:28 - 8 - *Spinning too much in aerials* 17:06 - 9 - *Matching the speed of the play* 19:40- 10 - *Leaving the play for boost unnecessarily*

I think the main thing missing from this list is where to look, which is hard to see from a replay obviously. I’m assuming that most players around my level aren’t actively watching their teammates and opponents enough to make a lot of these decisions consistently. Maybe I’m wrong though.

Amazing video! This is very in depth and actually provides a solution/things to look for. A lot of videos point out the mistakes and then offer a solution of “don’t do that” rather than what we should be doing.

Awesome stuff as always Virge. Was just watching your video on shooting a couple of days ago, and it has helped tremendously. Keep up the quality uploads.

This is pretty accurate. I follow a lot of these patterns and I'm low C1 when I'm playing well. Personally I'm still in the "hit the ball away" mode of a lower player, instead of "control the ball" mentality. This video is well reasoned.

Dude, great video. As a 36 year old eternal diamond, I think this helped me a lot.

I’d love this video for 3s as well! I know a lot of these count for 3s, but I feel there’s a bit different rules for 3s as well. Thank you for the video!

thanks for breaking this down so well birge now i can get out of diamond once i get out of gold

As a diamond myself even before I was diamond I always spammed the wall to ari dribble training pack which noticably helps with my off the wall plays in ranked.

one of my biggest gripes about RL esports is the coaches act as basically mascots...even at the higher level, pro level, what does a coach do in any other sport? they study the game, study weaknesses, devise strategy and consult the team on the best way to move forward with all this info and devise practice for specific players....this doesnt happen in RL esports as much as it needs to, no shade here, but id suggest instead of asking a youtuber like this for stuff to show your team, you should be creating it yourself to help your team individually, watching their replays, seeing their weaknesses, and devising strategy....that being said, theres absolutely no harm in getting ideas from channels like this either. Its just...in my opinion, a coach in RL esports, should literally be doing what Virge is doing.

Extremely Valid points being made here. Quality analysis I think every Diamond ranked player should see. Keep it up Virge Great JOB!!!!!!

Loved the video, bro. Just missed your intro. Best intro in Rocket League!

2:55 (opportunity for air dribble/flip reset) maybe a super basic air dribble. Not many diamonds can confidently air dribble or Flip reset

This is great information. Thanks Virge

Yeah dude, and it compounds with other mistakes too! Like the play at 1:10 with the over-aggressive position, he got into that position because he wasted all of his boost, then instead of positioning for pads, went straight for the corner boost.

Love the video, gonna focus the mechanics here instead of just blindly playing the game. I got to mid diamond with game sense alone and really need to bring my mechs up to speed but also will try to be mindful of the rest!

Really well done, thank you. I think I do all these things

Thanks again for another great video. when i one day will get out of diamond it's much likely because of your videos ;) Other folks say i should just drink less beer while playing rocket :D

Top tier video 100% accurate. Would love to see similar one for champ.

Players are always holding each other back. I recognize all these mistakes from my own play, but so often when trying to correct positioning errors your team mate immediately starts calling you out for not making plays. Meanwhile they're going supersonic all the time, but never making meaningful contact with the ball. And before anyone says "well go play casual then", honestly the most toxic games of my life have somehow been in casual lobbies. I've no idea what they're all so mad about in there.

Summary of this video. Instead of making a bad play, make a good play.

Most usefull Video ever for Diamond players! ❤

Done that last one too many times… thanks for opening my eyes!

TY this will help me so much GG

we need a map that is otherwise perfectly normal but is missing the big boost pads =)

thx big bro!

So glad you're back.

thanks for taking a lot of time to help us diamond players rank up

I swear man, all this videos are soo useful. I was a bronze player only 2 weeks ago then climbed up to GC3 simply from watching 2 road to SSL series (leth's and flakes') and now, after seeing your video I finally got what I needed to make the final stretch to SSL. I thought that RL it's one of those games where advices don't really matter at all cause it's a fast paced game where you don't have time to remember all the single advices every one told you. So you simply have to play enough to actually improve at your own pace and any strategic and tactical advice simply can't be implemented cause somebody else told you to do it. But woow, apparently I was 100% wrong. I have to say, it's truly amazing how helpful this videos are and how they taught me to stop time and actually have as much as 4839 minutes to think about the most optimal choice in every single position. I owe my SSL rank entirely to you Virge, to Leth and Flakes. Hopefully watching this kind of videos and also some tutorials on how to half flip and double flip reset, I will become pro in about 2 weeks time. Wish me luck Virge.

okay hero

The second clip also by positioning more neutrally, it also gives have a chance to easily collect three boost pads instead of one.

Why are you the first person to make a video like this . Exactly the kind of stuff I need

Add chapters for each tip in videos like this. That makes it really easy for the viewer and is greatly appreciated

Patience is key in my opinion. . And then you get stuck with a tm8 throwing out the 'take the shot' quick chat every 2 secs, no concept of defense, because they've just passed the ball, regardless of the fact that the ball is on its way to an opponent, so I MUST take the shot. And then I whiff and it's all my fault :/ And then the OMG! / Wow! quick chat comes out immediately 😅

You made this comment two weeks ago. How has your rank improved in that time?

I'm d1 I recognized whats wrong and what you need to do on each of these plays and I mostly always do how its said but I still cant get out of diamond, it's really hard with bad teammates who dont know this stuff like for example its harder to win with another bad diamond against 2 good plats than it is to win against 2 good champs with a good champ, I played placement games with players higher than my rank and the teamwork is just there, the passes are actually existent and the communication with quick chat helps but in diamond the other diamonds never pass, panic, make dumb clears instead of controling the ball, and rush defense or dont defend

ur baaaackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

It's VIRGE!!

Plat2 here scouting my future competition

Bro just summed up my mistakes

7:44 I think the player just mispressed the gamepad. He actually didn't want to double jump...

can you please explain for high c3 low gc that you have to challenge a dribbler early so they can’t make the play on you because most of the time it could be a unsavable shot so you have to pre jump read it

WOW IS THAT RAP GOD OR AD GOD

Can you also do a video of this for champs?

First of all, great video! I'm definitely gonna implement some of those tips into my gameplay, I'm especially looking forward to those training packs. That being said, I just wanna point out that in the situation at 14:25 it didn't seem to me like a timing issue but more like an issue of using powerslide correctly. I myself was pretty bad at powersliding a few months back and that clip really kicked up some flashbacks of the plays I messed up because of that. But maybe I'm just projecting, haha. Anyway, cheers!

Virge! My Master do you have or know a training pack for shadow defense and safe your last jump? I have one shooting pack for saving your second jump but I'd love to have one for defending. Like I find myself in 1v1 committing a lot bc I have that bad habit of just wasting my second jump .

Can you do the same on champ gameplay?

Disagree with matching the speed of the play during shadowing. What's most important is getting a read on your opponent and their ball control. Closing on the ball earlier is often the best call when you are midfield and the opponent isn't in full control.
