The mystery is somehow managing to get teammate to fuck off the ball and not boom everything away.

this is my exact rank... I've been climbing solo queues trying to implement the flakes mentality and I've seen some great progress. This game really is like chess if you let it be, but oh boy knocking that ball chasey speed flashy flips mentality out of my head is alot of work

same, but in doing so I once decided to go for a flashy double tap and clipped on my first attempt. I realized that being able to hit a ceiling shot musty double tap is what really makes me want to play the game. It kinda makes you realize that enjoyment of the game should be factored into how you play as well, If I really stuck to this mentality 100% I cant help but think i'd get bored quick

Beyond the almost flawless ball control?

Watched this video, got on to play ranked for the first time seriously this season and got GC along with the 10 wins for the rewards lol. Anyone saying this strategy doesn’t work or is too difficult is trolling or just thinks they’re better than they actually are. This method is exactly how to rank up. Edit: For context I’ve been hardstuck champ for 3 seasons up until this point and was hardstuck c3 for the majority of that time, playing smarter instead of faster instantly gave me the confidence and space needed to propel into GC and actually get stuck there instead of playing the win loss game over and over like a scrub.

champ 3, doing literally side flip - this might be to mechanical (￣y▽,￣)╭

this is the most unintentionally hilarious rl video ive watched, please continue this series i need to see ssl's getting dogged by single jumps

been watching this series for a while, finally hit gc2 in 2s and gc1 in 1s. I finally feel a sort of understanding to what im doing and what my opponents are going to do. never had more fun with ranked in my life, even while im losing, because now i know why

this is really useful. People at this rank can definitely pull off fancier mechanics, but not consistently, so this focus on consistent mechanics is really informative

I literally adapted this playstyle and i won 5 games in a row in champ and i just hit champ like 3 weeks ago. thank you flakes, my eyes are open

1:30 Champ2. LOL. "I think it's my ball when it's literally touching my teammate."

Just found your channel from a Thanovic recommendation in one of his videos. I've been binge watching this series all morning. I've been stuck at Diamond forever. I'm fairly new to playing 2's and mostly play 3's, so this series has been a HUGE help in me realizing my biggest flaws is overcommitting (especially fatal in 2's), flipping when completely unnecessary, and just lacking patience. Some of the most helpful content was in the very beginning of the series. LET YOUR TEAMMATE DO THE THING. If they bump you, if they steal the ball, if they pass it to the other team in front of the goal, so be it, just be ready. Your in-game sense and reads are phenomenal. I think I struggle a lot with hesitating to make a decision which ends up with me over committing on a play I shouldn't have even tried for and getting easily beaten. Seriously though, you have an excellent coaching style, and the fact you have this content up for everyone to benefit from is huge poggers123. Can't wait to get through this series, watch your 1's series , and the rest of your videos. Thanks again, and hope all is well for you!

“If my teammate didn’t exist it would’ve been better” Rocket League quote of the century 😂

Flakes, there is a difference between JSTN mechanics and what you have. People can't do what you do; you have excellent fundamentals that make these cuts and transitions look easy. You can't get to champ 2 with just IQ alone.

A great many teammates are what I call "net negatives." They actively prevent you from getting shots or making saves.

Dude I love your road to SSL w/o mechanics! Thank you for letting me play much better than before :D

"let the ball roll, you're not cool" :) Not in these exact words, but I say this to myself all the time :)

Flakes is the dad with no mechanics but with the brainpower to beat anyone

Watching these vids is pure joy. The "oh i cant score that, its too hard to jump" immitation is so funny xD. Im d3-c2 without even airroll useage or crazy air things. I dont have the time to get the timings on perfect, and sometime i have 2-3 weeks without playing, so i beginn everytime from new *g*. But i cant imagine being this good and hold all that skill back, like you doing it. That must hurt so bad when you know u can easy score goals with just a normal spin or bounce shoot and just think, oh no then someone write "thats too hard". Great work as always, you deserve way more subs, that vids are pure gold :-)

@Flakes I thought playing like this would be so easy, I can't believe how hard it is for me to play this way, I'm still trying tho. Thanks for the content and advice!
