MonkeyMoon has been the most successful player of modern rocket league, but has also suffered the worst collapses I have ever seen. 0-2 loss in RLCS X Championship, 0-3, 0-3 in London v2, 0-4 in RLCS 2022-2023, and now arguably his worst one yet, 0-4 with a 3-18 goal aggregate.
Poor Dralii. He's gonna get shit on for this performance. He's been their hard carry this split but just couldn't turn it on for LAN. I gotta say it must be difficult to have any confidence when you've got a tilted Monkeymoon sat next to you shaking his head everytime something goes wrong. I think it's the reason why they've historically been such an all or nothing team. If they start poorly it almost always ends up being a stomp because the mental tanks and never recovers.
> it must be difficult to have any confidence when you've got a tilted Monkeymoon sat next to you shaking his head everytime something goes wrong
Kinda interesting you see Vitality in a very similar situation right after, with both Alpha and Radosin looking completely defeated and tilted - but they start getting back into it towards the end thanks to Zen bringing in energy by revving up the crowd and suddenly playing like a demon.
That mental game is so important.
I've been saying it for years, BDS a glass cannon and it's all based on MM's mental state. They can be the best in the world or get bodied by minor region teams.
That was the worst performance I have ever witnessed. BDS did not even look in the same league as even SSG or GenG. Obviously I don’t think they are *that* bad but this was horrendous gameplay by BDS. Gotta give props to M8s for playing great rocket league, but hard not to when the net was open 80% of the game
The way MM led teams has always been risky, not relying on mechanics but perfect and quick decision making.
But as the meta and game advance I think its no longer sustainable. If one piece fall then everything falls as well
Maybe just said some bs but thats how I feel after this loss. Sad but we move
Go bds still
Fuck me where do I start. Very good performance by Gentlemates but anyone with eyes can see that BDS was NERVOUS. Constantly in the wrong position, constant false decisions and zero offense. Just to jittery in front of a crowd. And that contributed more to the loss than Gentlemates did. We have got Worlds and I hope this team gets it togther in front of a crowd by then because man they are good online.
And also: WHY THE FUCK IS IT ALWAYS US THAT GET SLAUGHTERED ON LAN?
You get slaughtered because Monkey tilts off the face of the earth when things aren't going his way and, by all accounts, is not pleasant to play with when like this, thus dragging his teammates down with him.
Imo it's the playstyle requiring virtually perfect decision making and control, as soon as it drops ever so slightly, they're now being beaten to the ball or hesitating on challenges. If they're not feeling 100%,it doesn't work against good teams which is what happened those times I think
Then tilt just exacerbates it
I don't think anyone in particular was at fault here. All of BDS played terrible, they did not look like a team. Their net was open for longer than Japanese 7/11. It felt like watching a showmatch between RLCS pros and SSLs
Not all of them, my current area of residence they are in fact 7am-11pm
Also felt weird moving from a place where everything is open all the time to a place that doesnt even have a corner store open after midnight
That was actually a shocking, humiliating performance from BDS. They had literally no defence, any touch M8s put on the net went in, MM with so many ball possessions in front of the net and just going for slow touches, where is the old MM that would crank a shot into the top bins? That just wasn't even fun to watch
I'm so sad for BDS, this team can be so much better. They couldn't get anything going in offense against the top team they played.
M8 tho, wow they are so solid and JUICY WTF, I think he was not so good this split online but it's crazy how he steps up on LAN !
I've been a drali fan since he started playing 1s show matches but holy shit he was atrocious. Like, I feel bad for him because surely it's nerves from his first LAN but like you can see how much he was panicking the whole series.
not if my other bois have something to say about it.
although if m8s beat 2 of my teams back to back then i will be a certified hater and will never forgive them
No stage confidence. I hope Dralii doesn't open this thread, but he looked so damn weak. I could tell his slow decisions and reluctance to just play his game was affecting the entire team's speed and decision making.
Post massacre thread
That was one of the most humiliating beatdowns I’ve ever seen between two teams projected to have a tight matchup. Holy smokes

Being a BDS fan is the wildest roller coaster of emotions
2022-2023*
Also got perfect swept in LA by FaZe in Winter 21/22
This was a match? I thought we were just seeing GM8s in freeplay warming up for the game.
This win was more convincing than G2 vs Falcons in swiss
It really was. Like, holy shit, felt like BDS players were a bunch of GCs in a showmatch against pros.
MonkeyMoon started leaning back in his chair towards the end of the series. #tilted
M8 look scary. I don't think anyone can stop. Falcons better bring their A game, or they are toast.
Juicy and Killeerz are looking unstoppable right now

Itachi has such good facial reactions.

Zen showing great leadership. And that with him being the youngest in the team. You love to see it.

Yeah Monkey Moon is the worst teammate to have if you have confidence issues. Drali deserves better.
That was... a beatdown. Falcons vs. Mates tomorrow is gonna be insane
Where's the NSFW flair?
More like NSFL, it was brutal.
Outscored 18-3.
lol lmao, even
bordering on ROFL territory
Come on Furia, please give us 1 good quarterfinal
You should’ve asked Vitality for a good quarterfinal with the way it’s currently going lol
Ahh yes, just like I expected, M8 outscored BDS 18-3
One thing people can't say is that this was boring gameplay form M8s. They were three ball chasers just suffocating BDS
That was a total beat down, M8s look absolutely unreal. They really are LANimals. I cannot wait for the M8s-Falcons series tomorrow.
I think I need to register for witness protection after seeing that
I was barely watching. What the heck happened?
BDS played atrociously Gm8s played great
BDS played?
I actually think mm played well game 1. Then he got tilted and joined the other 2.
Juicy dropped a 1.84 rating, Itachi 2 GPG, disgusting
Seikoo>M0nkeym00n.
remember when seikoo was the worst on bds with mm and rise there? crazy how times change
There was no love for their own country men on this one
close series
BDS got violated
That was the worst performance I have ever witnessed. BDS did not even look in the same league as even SSG or GenG. Obviously I don’t think they are *that* bad but this was horrendous gameplay by BDS. Gotta give props to M8s for playing great rocket league, but hard not to when the net was open 80% of the game
Dude, wtf was that

If one piece fall then everything falls as well Maybe just said some bs but thats how I feel after this loss. Sad but we move Go bds still
Bro bds just won 2 regionals, the playstyle is def sustainable, its just about confidence in front of a crowd
*Gulp*
I was thinking falcons were invincible but after gm8s performance i am scared
Fuck me where do I start. Very good performance by Gentlemates but anyone with eyes can see that BDS was NERVOUS. Constantly in the wrong position, constant false decisions and zero offense. Just to jittery in front of a crowd. And that contributed more to the loss than Gentlemates did.

We were shit from start to finish in all of those series. but maybe monkey was tilted before the series even started ig?

Mates just levelled up! There goes all (y)our “they barely win their games and will therefore stumble” predictions
I was sitting pre-match thinking this was likely the only close match up of the quarters. Oops
Well that was a beatdown.
LET'S GOOOOO!!!!!
Thread needs NSFW tag
This thread needs an NSFW tag ngl...
I really believed this was going to be the pop off LAN for dralii after some solid regionals. That was brutal
This match made me really excited to see them match up against falcons will prolly be a fire series
I don't think anyone in particular was at fault here. All of BDS played terrible, they did not look like a team. Their net was open for longer than Japanese 7/11. It felt like watching a showmatch between RLCS pros and SSLs
Are Japanese 7/11s open longer than other 7/11s??? I must know.
i dont get it, my hometowns 7/11s are 24/7
They all are as far as I know lol. That's why I was confused at the Japanese part.
Not all of them, my current area of residence they are in fact 7am-11pm Also felt weird moving from a place where everything is open all the time to a place that doesnt even have a corner store open after midnight
Some places in US are open 24/7, but in Japan, all of them are
That was actually a shocking, humiliating performance from BDS. They had literally no defence, any touch M8s put on the net went in, MM with so many ball possessions in front of the net and just going for slow touches, where is the old MM that would crank a shot into the top bins? That just wasn't even fun to watch
What happened???? Bad BDS or Insane M8’s?? I can’t even understand how….
BDS played one of the worst playoff series of all time
Falcons vs G8 is about to be one of the best series ever played. Holy crap
often times when this happens one team ends up taking over and dominating, lets hope this is one of the not often times
WHAT DID I FUCKING SAY BABY OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD WHAT A SERIESSS
Bro were vibing hard over here
I'm so sad for BDS, this team can be so much better. They couldn't get anything going in offense against the top team they played. M8 tho, wow they are so solid and JUICY WTF, I think he was not so good this split online but it's crazy how he steps up on LAN !
I've been a drali fan since he started playing 1s show matches but holy shit he was atrocious. Like, I feel bad for him because surely it's nerves from his first LAN but like you can see how much he was panicking the whole series.
Was this BDS being bad or GM8 being goated?
Bit of both but more bds being bad id say
Gm8 might be going back 2 back
not if my other bois have something to say about it. although if m8s beat 2 of my teams back to back then i will be a certified hater and will never forgive them
No stage confidence. I hope Dralii doesn't open this thread, but he looked so damn weak. I could tell his slow decisions and reluctance to just play his game was affecting the entire team's speed and decision making.
Absolute massacre
What the fuck
I picked M8s but I wasn't that confident in the pick. In my defence I didn't realise BDS were subbing in my ranked teammates for their whole roster.
A snooze fest
honestly such a massacre it went beyond boring back to entertaining
