Confidence is key!!! I feel like just imagining that ur opponents are half asleep even if they aren’t can give a huge mental advantage. A lot of players including myself sometimes don’t force certain challenges out of respect for the opponents possibly hitting a crazy shot. Not giving opponents time to set anything up and keeping offensive pressure is great advice cbell!!

yeah first man should challenge either way that’s a big problem i run into i’ll be behind my teammate and he’ll just give them as much space as there is from earth to mars instead of just forcing them to make a worst play and giving me a free ball and leave me in a pre jump make one of the best save of my life situation

It is though, with everyone hitting reset musty psychos and quintuple resets, just forcing them off the ball when they do that gives them no choice but to shoot early. If your tm is even remotely awake they will see that and have an easier save

cbell's lobbies are so free, im in d2 and i cant get out cuz of smurfs/people being absolutely cracked. its worth to note that i play on ME.

Its worth noting, A lot of times when the game feels easy and like you've discovered some type of "hack" or successful way of playing. It tends to be during our peaks, which may not be mechanical peaks. We can have ups and downs with our game sense as well. For me, my ups are way up. and my downs are horrible. My volatility is insane depending on mood and anxiety levels. I've had many times over the last 5 years where I'm just confused on how I've been so bad (always when im peaking hardcore) And when I'm really bad, I can't break out of it. Its not just hesitation or missed challenge timings. It's something fundamentally changed in my brain, my way of thinking was altered by something else and suddenly im an inconsistent mess. This is rocket league.

Exactly the comment I came looking for 😂

Good advice. It's one element of the Flakes 2v2 series which is still how I hit GC in 2s and 3s this season. Step one is don't over commit, step two is learn how to take advantage of the other team over committing, which they will do frequently. I don't know if it's an attention deficit as much as it is just not understanding the game but either way it works so.

cbell casually gets a streak of 9 when he’s is rusty

Alright CBell. You convinced me. I’ll go ahead and get GC real quick

3:36 this shit had me rolling. Perfect.

I also noticed that fewer players in high champ/GC seem to force shots. I used to go for GC in 3s, but since last season it feels tougher to me and part of it is that ppl rather try to out-mechanic than just force a simple shot, more ballside than backpost rotations and not rotating out at all leaving me puzzled in the back.

So happy you posted this. What youre describing has been my playstyle for like a year now and im currently a champ 2 who can barely arial. Being able to force a flick or a challenge to give your teammate space is THE most underrated skill in this game.

I’m gc3 while playing like this, peaking at ssl for a few games. I noticed around a year ago that no matter what rank everyone is they always panic when they get the ball. If you force them to give it away it’s always a free ball for your teammate. Whenever I try to play ultra fast like these 14yo prodigies I sit at high 1500 low 1600.

I went from low gc1 to high gc2 in about 3 hours of play time just by basically ball chasing and forcing the opponent into awkward positions. Then I tried the same strategy on an alt that started at middle of c3 and I literally could not get out of champ. You basically just have to adapt to the opponent depending on how they play. Also, if you’re trying to get gc in 3s, it’s just not gonna happen.

I got out from the hospital after a surgery in January with half working left hand and fingers barely moving, not having played RL for 2 months. Went from C2 to GC1 in a streak doing exactly the same thing. Can confirm this is the meta :))

finally cbell, I might get competent ranked teammates. it's so annoying trying to play this and the teammate is NEVER ready for a force, no matter how long you delay it to try and have them ready.

Just wanna say I'm really enjoying your videos. I knew of you before and have seen the odd video, but not much and then got bored with RL. Getting back into it now and really enjoying your content, there's something more chill about which was exactly what I was looking for without realising, something a bit different. Subscribed :)

This might sound silly CBELL but that's EXACTLY what i noticed when i was struggling in C3. Just Yesterday i got back to GC focusing on JUST paying attention. It's crazy we had the same idea.

Such an amazing video! Ty for the tips!!

A very nice and motivating video, ranked is so stupid nowadays. Thank you Cbell

@KamiFrost99

Stupid really. Especially in 3s. As I literally down ranked from c3 to c2, to c1 people just kept playing better. It didn't make sense. In c3 everyone was asleep. In low c2, my last match, they were sweatin. One of my teammates even did the Zen signature shot.

I'm a GC that doesn't pay attention, and I feel attacked 😂 I got to GC in 2018, and I since then me and my friends have lost the motivation to try. We play ranked like it's casual basically. So when we're screwing around we fall down as far as champ 1. People get angry because we do stupid things but still win, but we're just having fun😅

"W Sauce O'clock" and his quick questioning himself made me laugh really hard.

fyi theres also rank inflation, like now is the best time to get GC because a lot of people have climbed through the ranks and into much higher MMR, whereas every GC and above starts the season around 1550 or whatever it is and it's a bloodbath

It's funny I started figuring this out today. I'm normally 3rd man because my teammates rush up so I'm in a lot of 2v1s and I just took my time a lot more and forced them which worked out well as long as I could avoid the demos.

Thanks for the tips

thanks cbell this video is so helpful, ima try it with my duo later on ggs

Hands down best RL video I’ve seen in a while! Finally hit GC for the first time last night!

After watching this video I went up 2 divs, one game away from 3 divs, so close I’ll probably get it tomorrow. The mentality is so important. Thank you CBell

Aight cbell im gonna get that champ i lost like 2 seasons ago back tonight thanks man

i have been grand champ for literally 6 years. never ssl but never lower than gc... if you find that one awake tm8 just play till you lose with them and that helps a lot

Cbell can you make a video on what to do when you force for your Solo Q teammates who dont know how to hit the ball

I like the tip about letting teammates who ball chase, ball chase. Just adapt to your teammates and try to be the best teammate possible. I’m not very mechanical and I’m gc2 after 600 hours

happy birthday!

Settings video? I like the camera settings you have right now

Haven’t played in a month. This makes me want to come back

oh wait Cbell uploaded this it was in my recommended but bcuz of the pfp i didnt know lol

This is all useful information that I learned from watching Flakes several years ago and it can be very effective. Shadow defending with fake challenges , patience , decision making, and boost management are all great skills to focus on and can help you rank up quickly if executed well. If you do anything, shadow defending with fake challenges as last man can help buy your teammate time to recover and a lot of times the opponents will panic and give away the ball.

Thank you for not giving up on Rocket League ❤

ngl, after watching this video, my game mindset switched up completely. literally in tears as i hit plat for the first time in my 190 hours of game time. thank you cbell.

I just watched this video twice and I hopped in a game, lagged out for a bit and still won in OT lol

W sauce o'clock 💀💀💀

this is a great video, thanks, it’s what I always try to tell people that say my mechanics are bad because i can’t musty or flip reset… you dont need that stuff in champ if you just play smart and are good at defense champ is basically just faster diamond, lol

« That doctors hate » 😂

I've been hard stuck c1 and seeing quite a few smurfs is annoying too, i feel like im getting better and can hopefully get c2-3 next season

3:06 LMAO

Alright I'll start grinding even more I'm at my peak mmr rn. In champ 3 for the first time I'll be GC now with your help thanks for letting me know!

Thanks Cbell after playing since Covid and being stuck in c3 for at least two years I’ve made GC a week from watching your video. ❤

Is that a bakkes mod plug in at the top or is that like just edited in later (the mmr tracker)

This just shows how playing smart is so much easier to get wins the just committing to everything

Not the person I expect to learn how to rank up from after all the videos I’ve seen but it works lmao

After this vid I want from 1320 mmr to 1394. Thank you so much cbell!

6:23 was top shelf bamboozling!

The irony of me very recently watching my 2k friend soloq through 1700 and complain about how nobody forces lol

Cbell: I wasn't even nervous 4 seconds later oh no 3:56

CBell trying to kill the demo meta and switch it to the ball chase meta.

this is really good advice, the only thing that ruins it, is the tm8 that goes full nuclear toxic, and starts shooting on your own goal when your up 2-0 cause he doesnt like the slow pace lol, but other than that i won 4 out of 6 doin it

Hey cbell I love your videos when you gonna stream again?

Alternate title. Grand Champ gets Grand Champ.

I've been playing around Champ 2 the last few weeks. The Smurphs are insane and there not even hiding themselves. The have bronze tourney titles. And perfect flip reset mustys every other shot.

The most amazing part about this, is that there werent that many mechanics hit, that i dont see in D2. i mean they are faster, but you dont need to be humongously mechy

I’m currently c2 div 3 I was c3 earlier this week. I watched your vid and tried to implement the thing you said. 1st goal the opponent 180 flicks it top bins which I couldn’t save as last back. 2nd goal I get into a rule 1 and my tm8 dosent win the 1v1. 3rd goal they make a save and double commit and they pinch the ball IN OUR NET. I’m actually so done

bro i love you

When are you doing another video on emmies road to grand champ?

I actually did this and i went from Champ 1 Div 2 to Champ 2 Div 4, thanks haha

Bro literally yesterday I got GC for the first time and then this comes up, and I've been struggling for so long stuck at C3 div 3 and 4😂

Its positioning and decision making. You put yourself in the right place ahead of time to be able to force the opponent to make a play or force a 50-50. Its also proper rotations so that when you've done that, you either already set your teammate up or are in the process of getting out of the play so they can go do something. You probably said force a few too many times lol, but I gotchu

Happy birthday

Silver II right here... Going to try this method rn!

nice vid bro.
