Disappointment for Rocket Leaguers Division as they Fall Short in National Tournament
(published 4/17/23)
The National Rocket League tournament has come and gone, but the fallout from the Rocket Leaguers' defeat to "We Hate Minorities" is still reverberating around the league. The team, made up of Benjamin Dolly, Carlos, and Michael Willcoxon, were touted as some of the best players in the league, but their performance in the tournament left much to be desired.
After a series of hard-fought matches, the Rocket Leaguers faced off against "We Hate Minorities" in the quarterfinals, a team known for their hateful message. Despite their reputation, the team managed to pull off an upset victory against the Rocket Leaguers, leaving fans and analysts alike shocked and disappointed.
Many have pointed out the similarities between this defeat and the 2004 USA Basketball team, which also suffered a stunning loss in the Olympics. Like that team, the Rocket Leaguers were heavily favored to win, but ultimately fell short in the face of an unheralded opponent.
The defeat has been especially hard on Benjamin Dolly, who expressed his disappointment in a recent interview, saying, "I'm not over it. I don't know if I'll ever be." Meanwhile, Michael Willcoxon has remained silent on the matter, instead turning his attention to the Netflix show Love Is Blind. As for captain Carlos, he has yet to make a public appearance to address the team's loss.
The Rocket Leaguers' defeat has left many fans and analysts questioning the team's ability to perform under pressure. Some have criticized the team's lack of diversity, suggesting that their defeat to a team with such a hateful message only underscores the need for more inclusion in esports.
Overall, the Rocket Leaguers' disappointing performance in the National Rocket League tournament has cast a shadow over the team's future prospects. Only time will tell if they can bounce back from this setback and regain their status as one of the top teams in the league.
The Top Contenders Kick Off The League
(published 3/17/23)
The RLC Season 1 Tournament kicked off with an exciting first matchup between Garret Spriggs and Carlos Loaiza.
In the first match, Garret Spriggs faced off against Carlos Loaiza. Loaiza came out strong in game one, putting up an impressive 7 goals in just two minutes. Despite Spriggs slowing down the scoring towards the end of the game, it was too little too late as Loaiza took game one with a score of 11-3. In game two, Spriggs took a more aggressive approach, but his inability to finish his opportunities allowed Loaiza to capitalize and take the win with a score of 6-3. Loaiza moved on to round two with momentum, while Spriggs was left to regroup and prepare for his next match.
The second match saw the highly anticipated return of Benjamin Dolly to the RLC, as he faced off against rising star Michael Willcoxon. In game one, Willcoxon struggled to convert on open goal opportunities, but he remained relentless on the attack. Meanwhile, Dolly played a more defensive game than expected, countering Willcoxon's aggressive play-style with well-timed returns. Dolly took game one with a score of 4-1.
In game two, Dolly's counter-attacking strategy was on full display as he employed a staunch defense and capitalized on Willcoxon's mistakes. Willcoxon became frustrated as his dog began barking relentlessly, causing him to accidentally score on his own goal. Dolly remained in control, and the game ended with a score of 5-1, giving Dolly the series win. With this victory, Dolly advanced to face Spriggs in the next round, while Willcoxon looked to bounce back from his first loss and focus on the upcoming matches.
As the tournament continues, it's clear that each player has their own unique strategy and approach to the game. While some rely on aggressive tactics, others prioritize a strong defense and capitalizing on their opponents' mistakes. It's exciting to see how each player will continue to adapt and adjust as the tournament progresses, and we look forward to seeing who will come out on top in the end.
Who's Who & Who To Watch
(published 3/17/23)
The Rocket Leaguers Club (RLC) is gearing up for its first-ever tournament, and the stakes couldn't be higher. As players compete throughout the season for higher rankings, they'll ultimately duke it out in the playoffs to determine who the best Rocket League player is.
There are a number of talented players in the RLC, and we've been getting to know them a bit better as we prepare for the tournament. Here are some of the players we're excited to watch:
Benjamin Dolly is a favorite among many, but his lengthy time away from the sport and busted controllers make his comeback all the more challenging as he faces players who have been continuously practicing with better setups.
Vinson Waters may have one of the least amount of hours logged, but his patience and calm demeanor keep him level-headed under pressure.
Ramon Topete is better known off the field for his wild personality, but his unorthodox play-style can be confusing for even the best players.
Dominic D'Astice has been logging hours in secret since the tournament's announcement, and while he has some work to do with the fundamentals, his intensity pushes him into scenarios only he can create.
Garret Spriggs is a man who knows what he wants to do but suffers from the current inability to do so. While he's been racking up more hours, fans can expect him to pull off some amazing upsets as he works on his finishing.
Michael Willcoxon is the dark horse of the tournament. His growth has been explosive this off-season, and while he doesn't have any remarkable feats, his overall understanding of the game and field awareness make him a threat not to be ignored.
Darnell Murphy is typically found guarding the goal, but this tournament sees him working on establishing an offense built mostly off his many years console gaming. If he can get down his rhythm, he can probably pull off a few wins.
Aric Brillhart is a dedicated player who is still in search of his rhythm as he develops as a 1v1 player. He arguably has the most access to the practice fields.
Carlos Loaiza is by far the man to watch. He has one of the best Rocket League IQs, having spent so much time in the game. His kryptonite is his growing personal life that sees him take sudden leaves of absence from the field. If he can stay focused, he will likely be in the finals.
It's clear that the RLC has no shortage of talent, and we can't wait to see how the tournament plays out. Will one of these players rise to the top and be crowned the best Rocket League player in the league? Only time will tell.
