I find that I don't really rely on fancy mechanics but defending, car control (simply driving, air, maintain speed) and recoveries, which are also mechanics. If I work on shot consistency and basic dribbles, I could finally get GC1 from C3, GC2 if I practice and play a lot and make good progress during holidays

Every action he makes is mechanical.... Decision making means nothing without the ability to execute it. Even though he is using easier mechanics to do it. It is still high level mechanics he is displaying. I am high champ and even I can't play anywhere near as precisely as he does with the basic mechanics.

I see the same thing happening with just a small difference this time flakes waits for his teammate to commit or do some monkey stuff then when flakes has the ball his gonna powerslide to the left then powerslide to the right maybe fake a 50/50 or direction change or maybe even just a double jump over the opponent into a goal gg poggers

I'm learning both side air rolls and getting pretty good at managing my lateral direction with tornado spinning but am stuck in C1. Here comes Flakes, sending "not that good of a shot"s, getting to SSL by "not committing to it". Dammit. But really, this is great to watch to get smarter at RL. Mechanical players are interesting to watch but harder to copy. This is very educational. It dives into the concept that Lethamyr was explaining as green vs red, but it made little sense on its own. With your gameplay it really teaches what's good and what's bad.

I would also be extremely interested in seeing this. Leth has some great series where he does a similar thing with 2's and 3's trying to imitate the level but the serious focus on not using mechanics would be super refreshing. I usually hover between plat 3 - diamond 1 and I'm usually too afraid to be patient with the play because it freaks my teammates out and they usually just go out of position and steal possession anyway. I'm still not great at the slow play stuff so I can understand the lack of confidence from them being a factor, very interested to see how you deal with it though, assuming you'd play with randoms vs another pro who's playing in your style. Either would make for great content though.

Goated series not missed an episode

This and Freestyle to SSL by Evample are by far my favorite series on youtube, which is funny because they're the exact opposite. Awesome job with the series, I feel like I've learned so much.

What i understand as the essence of what flakes is trying to teach: Its hard to goal when the opponent has the chance to defend. So all you are trying to do is: 1. Keep your own goal covered at all times 2. play with the ball until your opponent loses his ability to cover. Ball possesion gives you the best chances at both, so thats why you want to keep the ball and not try something risky, EVEN if that means the ball goes to your side of the court.

Honestly when I started watching this series I was just getting champ in 1s for the first time. 1s takes a lot of energy for me to play and tilts me so I don't play it often but throughout this series I've managed to get to C3 in 1s with relative ease and minimal grinding just from the changes in mindset and game sense. I've always been "mechanical-ish" so I didn't use powerslide cuts or play quite as patiently as flakes does but I've definitely adopted a lot of elements of the playstyle and it's so useful. Thanks for the series and I'll definitely be watching the 2v2 one when it's ready.

Thanks for the series, Flakeybear. Always enjoy hearing you talk us through your thought processes in-game, so I'm looking forward to the 2s series (and 3s if you can be assed).

Thanks for the fantastic series Flakes! Super interesting to watch how you literally only introduced like 5 mechanics total and went all the way to SSL. We all love watching your content and learning from you, excited to see you back for the 2s series

It is crazy how easy you make all these games look. Everytime I watch you play, I play a little better that day. Mad skills man. Thanks for sharing your big brain thinking. Kept me drooling through half of these. Lol

An end of an amazing era. Thank you Flakes.

Stumbled across this series when you did your first one, never heard of you before then, since I started watching you've become my favourite rocket league player to watch, watched every video you have done and I've learned so much from you, thank you for the lessons and helping me get better

sad day because finally this series are finished :(. This has been one of the best ones honestly. Looking forard to seeing something similar, like with low mechanics (maybe 2s or 3s). Great fucking job Flakes, love ya

Once this series got into GC the effectiveness of simple fundamentals really started to shine. You powerslide cut all the way to SSL. Favorite 1's playstyle by far. Looking forward to see you climb 2's, and dealing with tm8's that are less than talented

As someone who has been pushing for SSL in 1s but not able to make the leap these videos are incredibly helpful. I'd say i've got higher than average mechanics for the rank but often get outplayed in more grounded scenarios where those mechanics mean nothing. The drive challenge concept is something that I've never really utilised but after playing a few games and getting back into mid GC3 I genuinely can't believe how effective they are. I always seemed to conceede possesion or even goals from diving into 50s that were at best a coin flip. Always tilted me because it just felt unlucky whenever I conceeded but after watching this I realise that these rash dive 50s/challenges are too high risk and completely unnecessary. Would love it if you did another one of these for 1v1s at some point. Thanks for the tips :)

We love you Flakes, I probably would have quit the game by now if I hadn't seen these videos!

1st off I loved this series. 2nd Flakes I know you’re gonna do a 2v2 version of this but all I request is that once you reach SSL you do a game with mechanics just like you did at the end of this episode. That was truly the best way to end the series

This was my favourite video of yours thus far. Because I am peasant, after all your videos, this was the video that made me see so clearly how you position yourself to powerslide cut behind the opponent. I've seen you do it over and over again, but this time I SAW you looking for it, I saw you thinking it, and thats what I needed to learn. How to look for it, not just what it looks like when successfully done. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for the lessons throughout this series. It has helped me in my games and proved how much more practice there is plus the necessity of fundamentals. Wish you luck in your endeavors and look forward to future series you may put out.

Can't wait for the twos series. Glad to catch your Tuesday stream as well!

Best rocket league series I've ever followed...learned a lot...Thank you so much flakes...please do more things...just the commentary and the vibe itself are enough to keep watching you(the content is also amazing ofc)...

Thanks for showing the bonus game, the contrast and commentary between that and the no mechanics was amazing! Thanks for making these videos for us!

Thanks Flakes ! Appreciate a LOT your game vision and teachings. I'll be there for the 2s series too. Much love from France :D

Thank you FLAKES, love ur vids my dude. Old man here (I'm 43) who loves his RL and has gained so much wisdom from your vids. Lets go!!! Was so good to see that last game where your wicked high-level mechanics didnt do shit to help the scoreline in the end and it all comes down to the fundamentals. thx again my dude, you have taught me so much. Cant wait to see you @ LAN someday.

Dude you so chill. Much love my man, cant wait for the next series:}

Thanks Flakes for this great series! Gonna binge watch it now in it's entirety and hope to catch a few things I may have missed. Looking forward to any new content you bring out!

This series epitomizes difference between Flakes playing to win vs opponent playing to score. Like Flakes has a pro athlele mentality and his opponents have gamer mentality. Difference is huge.

So moral of the series is, taking advantage of people’s weaknesses can often benefit you in the end.

I actually cannot thank you enough. Before I watched this series, I had no idea just how important some of the concepts you've explained were, and since you've highlighted all of them - it's given me such an insane focus on improvement which I'm really finding rewarding. I haven't enjoyed rocket league this much since the first time I played it! THANK YOU FLAKES, you have done us all a massive service.

What a journey! :') Thanks for the knowledge, I'm really looking forward for your 2v2 series and future content 😀

Really appreciate the content. Super useful and insightful. I'm really excited for the 2v2 series!! Keep up the good work, dude!

The biggest takeaway from this series, is not that you don't need mechanics........ it's that you need to train train train your fine motor control on the fundamentals, then grind the crap outta games to cement decision making. 99 times out of 100 you get scored on because YOU put YOURSELF in a bad position. The biggest lesson I got from this series, is that you have to allow your opponent to put themselves in such positions.... then take full advantage of it. I have just shy of 8000 hours in this game...... with a LOT of bad habits picked up along the way. This series is just what I needed for a reboot. Cheers Flakes!

Definitely enjoyed every single second in the this awesome and unmatched series literally you made me play the game in whole different and efficient way I proudly admit that i have learned so many things i can't thank you enough! Well done master Flakes ❤

Congrats on finishing the series! I loved all the episodes. Very useful shit. Thank you brother!

I've really enjoyed this series. You're funny & informative, and it's been fun putting your teachings into practice! Thank you for making it. I eagerly look forward to whatever you do next.

Incredible series. Really helped me take a closer look at WHY I use the mechanics that I do. The tips on watching your opponent's positioning were huge, that's been a big boost to my 1s IQ. I'm excited for the 2s series :)

GGs! Great series, showing that speed and accuracy will get you further than you think. Enlightening stuff, especially when you were in my rank. Thanks fella, keep up the good work.

Loved the series and the humor! Thank you for this, Flakes

Thank you so much. This is the best rocket league road to ssl on KZread. You got me from plat 1 to diamond 2 and I’m still ranking up. Can’t wait for the 2s series.

A really valuable series and the other day having power-slide cut an oppo to pieces and scored, the replay of the goal started playing and the immortal words were typed... "Have you been watching Flakes? You did that pretty good". Cheers mate...

The series was really epic, you totally changed my way to play the game (I started last year and I am casual). Thanks for all your explanation on every move it s very interesting to see how a very good player explain the game. By far the best serie of RL I saw actually (recommended by 2 friends).

Much love keep it up; hands down best RL series out there

Awesome series man, thanks for helping me get out of gold and pushing to diamond in 1s. It's made it way more fun to play solos for me and it's thanks to you I know I'll keep improving at it.

What an entertaining and educational series Flakes! We should rename the "Powerslide Cut" to the "Flake" Flake to the left, Flake to the right, double jump, GG

You finally did it, wow! I enjoyed this series very much, I’m a forever gold but I think I could definitely get all the way up to gold 3 with this strategy haha. For real though, super helpful & demonstrative, thank you!

I would love to see you giving commentary while playing in high rank 1v1. You are really good and positioning and make constant pressure on it!

Can't wait for the 2v2 series! Climbed several ranks because of you, thanks Flakes

This series has made my RL experience way better as I play 1s a lot more than I use to and I notice how much of a better teammate I am now. D2 to C2. Incredible knowledge there is to learn from this series. Thank you.

SUPER informative 1s video. Great job explaining each position. Your 1s IQ is insane.

Like everyone else said, probably the best RL series on KZread honestly. It was insightful as fuck.

i started to play the game this year... i did not know nothing about mechanics or rocket league in general... and i get into in this series just by youtube algorithm, and now i´m gold3 just by using the head and following the tips from daddy flakes.. you are awesome explaining

This was the best series ever, from the first episode to now, I went from gold 2 to plat 3 in 1s, and I’ve destroyed a few diamonds I’ve come across. I’m still going strong, thank you so much you’re the GOAT

Loved the series Flakes! I’d love to watch your perspective on other game modes as well!

I'm almost a little sad that this series is over now. But thanks so much flakes these are videos I can keep going back to as I progress in 1s.

Been following the series since episode one and enjoyed the content. I hope you keep doing more content like thing, maybe 2s or 3s position wise videos (talking about decision making, and the same this series with minimal mechanics) 💙

I learned a lot from this series and boosted up ranks! It's funny when people are calling me a Smurf when I only have maybe 250 hrs in the game and slowly getting to champ! I was the biggest boost over ball, ball chasing player but now I slowed my game down, practiced my cuts every day and I watch these diamond players trying to swag shot and they still get faked by a simple turn in field. Thank you flakes!

this series was so helpful for me, thank you so much for al the tips and contents. Can't wait for the 2v2 series too man
