The Champ Who Claims He Can Beat Pros (and he's right)

Rocket League players are getting more and more arrogant by the day. Like this champ claims his back hurts because he's carrying SSLs all the time in his tournaments. >> What?

And this diamond says his mechanics are better than a pro. What? So fine.

I'm going to straight up give him a chance to prove themselves. Each player will get to play in a higher lobby and do their best to blend in. And at the end, we'll take a vote to see if they can manage to go undetected.

If they do, I'll straight up give them $50. And this time, I don't even know who is who because I hired someone to pick the contestants for me. So, play along with me and let's do this.

Up first, we have a diamond who says, "I can easily hang with at least Champ 2's since I've got better mechanics than even Grand Champs and SSLs. " Wow. I'm not going to lie, that sounds impossible.

Let's put him in a Champ 2 lobby and find out. All right, boys. Welcome to the Champ 2 lobby.

Uh, one of you is secretly a diamond. All right. So, we're not too far off, but uh let's see if they can blend in.

I I I legitimately I promise do not know who the diamond is. We're about to find out. >> Sink.

Let's see. >> Oh, is that just a gold? >> It's just a goal.

>> What is this? >> It might be the floating duck is at 124. Is he okay?

>> I think it's the lag. >> He might self-dosing to avoid being caught. >> Could be.

That actually might be the biggest brain play I've ever seen in Rocket League. >> Oh ding duck is going for some clips. That's pretty interesting.

He didn't need to go for a flip reset there and he totally did. >> Let me just go with it. Show me something.

Prove that you're a champ. >> I think I proved that. >> You know what?

I actually respect that. Zig, you didn't have to. >> I already have sus on unnatural cuz he's very slow to the play.

Ramen, I I don't want to call you out, but I'm going to call you out. You just rotated inward for no reason. >> Okay.

I thought my teammate had a touch. >> Blue team, what is going on over here? Your guys's ping is inside Mars.

Are Are we okay? >> Yeah. >> I have a theory that I'm going to share with you.

Okay. I think one of you is selfdoing to not get caught. >> Oh, I'm so I wonder who that could be.

Um, exploding Doug. Do you have any feelings right now or instincts as to who's kind of playing at a lower level? >> So far, all I know is my teammate's solid.

Hopefully, >> you guys are tied. I mean, this is a close match, but there's a diamond among us, bro. We We got to lock in.

>> Yeah, I feel like diamond should be more obvious. I didn't see Zinc go for like the thing in the air. >> Zinc did go for some shots like like look, he's doing it right now.

See? Oh, he's crazy. He actually is crazy.

Uh, what do you think about this unnatural? I haven't heard from you. >> Oh my god.

>> Uh, kind of hard when we just score two kickoff goals cuz my teammate's lagging. So, >> dang. That is a brutal scenario.

>> Dang. We'll never know. All right, here we go.

Nice. Okay, I love that. All right, I'll watch Exploding Duck when you finally do have server.

I feel like I've seen you do some great things. Just been pretty unfortunate with the kickoff goals. >> Keep forgetting that I'm lagging.

So, we got to I think we got to take kick off a little smarter. >> Yeah. I mean, I I like the confidence.

>> Orange team, we're doing well. We're doing very very well, I would say. >> I mean, they're lagging.

>> We could be doing Yeah, we could be doing well. >> Um, one I I hit one. >> Zinc, I got to say, you hit a pretty mechy shot.

Uh, maybe even too mechy for champ. >> Could be a diamond freestyle. >> I mean, that is kind of what I would expect.

If a diamond says he's very good, he says he's mechanical, then I mean, in theory, he should be hitting that kind of stuff. So, I don't know. Yeah, I mean I'm a me player and I mean I'm a goldfish player.

>> The goldfish player. Rahmed, who are you most suspicious of currently? >> I'm kind of suspicious of Zinc just because he is >> cuz he's carrying you.

>> I'm going to >> just because he's mey and he said he was a freestyler and >> Yeah. >> Oh my Oh my Okay. >> He's also just winning.

>> Lucky. Yeah, I have been a freestyle in the past. >> Okay, I prove it.

Score a goal straight up. I'm ready for it. >> Straight up.

Wait, if this guy's paying, maybe I can. [laughter] >> Yeah, you probably can. >> And also, Zinc just likes to wait for boost a lot.

Oh my god. >> Wow, Zinc, you're crazy. I said score goal and you did.

That's crazy. >> Ramen, I would say you're looking very consistent. I feel like currently you're playing exactly like how I expected champ to play.

And I mean that as a compliment. I think it's good. You know, >> never mind.

Ramen, you're off the team. Blue team. Blue team.

You guys are somehow back in this. Dude, do we get a kickoff goal? >> You boys are in this.

>> I can't believe despite the ping, this is a tie game. >> So, I'm just trying to like go and then he's going to stay back because I'm either going to hit it or not hit it and then >> sure. I mean that those are the results.

>> Possession. [laughter] >> Ramen. Is he going to go for something?

Oh, he's going to the ceiling. Uh, no. He doesn't have that unfortunately.

>> I'll go. I'll go. >> I like that challenge.

If you're going to have high ping, just challenge and force a touch. That's always what you should do. >> That's all you.

All you >> Come on, dude. SHOW US YOUR OH, NO. >> THERE.

Zinc is going for it. He's going to go for a clip. Watch out.

>> Oh, he missed. >> Dang. It almost look like anal.

>> Nice. You got that. >> Boys, if you if you guys win this, it's really going to be an amazing accomplishment.

This is some of the highest ping difference I've seen in a minute. Um, but who are you guys leaning towards right now? Do you feel like anything's developed?

Do you feel like someone's looking sus? I mean, the zinc slowed down a little bit. So maybe he was the freestyler.

I missed. >> Speaking of missing, what a win. That was huge.

That was a huge win. I'm excited for you. Let's all get in a call and talk it out.

>> Boys, round one has concluded. And there is a diamond among us. I'm going to go down the line and have each of you accuse somebody and give one sentence of why you think it's that person.

All right, let's start with the losers. Zinc, >> who who do you think was was the secret diamond? And why?

>> I think it was exploding duck cuz I guess lagging probably would have been the reason he was doing bad. >> Yep, it is a good cover. He was sliding that whole time.

I'll give him that. Uh, Rammed, what do you think, bro? >> So, my initial sus was on unnatural because he was kind of slow to the play.

Um, but he had good decision-m so I'm I'm going with Zinc just cuz he's not consistent at all. He's definitely more mechy than I am, but kickoff goal. Um, not challenging in the right spots, just overall not consistent.

>> Okay, I got you. Unnatural. Where are you taking us?

>> Since we won with the highest panes on the server, I think it's safe to say that Diamond's probably on the enemy team. Has to be. >> I'm probably leaning more towards Zinc.

I know Zinc's mechy and stuff, but his positioning is isn't as solid as everybody else's. >> Okay, checks out uh Exploding Duck. Are you on the same bandwagon or what do you think?

I mean, off the bat, I was sure my teammate was safe. He was kind of carrying us when I was out here playing a different game, basically. But [laughter] I think I think specific on the moon.

>> Yeah, I think specifically Zinc, he had some good mechs. But other than that, I don't know if he was doing better than his teammate Ramit. [music] So, I think because they lost, I think it's Zinc was the odd one out.

>> I think it's pretty decisive that Zinc is the one people are voting for. or I actually have to cast a boat myself with money on the line. I also think it is Zinc just because he was out mechanicking everyone which isn't a bad thing but uh those mis touches especially around his own nets looked like he was going for clips rather than going for the the smart play.

But we won't know until we officially reveal it. So I'm going to count down from three. Drve forward if you were the diamond.

Give me a drum roll. 3 2 1 drive forward. Z, >> we knew it.

To be fair, your mechs actually are crazy for a diamond. I'll give you a lot of credit for that. >> Like 3k hours.

>> 3K. Dang, bro. You're on SSL hours.

That's wild. Moving on to round two. This champ claims I should be a grand champ for sure.

I can carry SSLs and even have won three SSL tournaments. GC's are bad, honestly. Dang.

Well, he should have no problem in this grand champ lobby, then. Here we go. It is time for the grand champ.

>> Yo yo yo. >> Are you the Oh, no way. >> What do you mean no way?

What are you talking about? >> Nothing. You're good.

>> Boys, it is time. You guys are familiar with the game mode 2v2, correct? >> Yep.

>> Yeah, just a tiny bit. >> Just a tiny bit. What do you think is going to be like the difference with a champ versus a grand champ?

>> Is it getting scored on within the first 5 seconds, do you think? >> Yeah, >> there's not really I wouldn't say like there's too many major differences. It's just speed and like the amount of mistakes you make and consistency, you know.

>> Such a valid answer. So boring, too. That's crazy.

Let me read what this champ actually said. He's calling out grand champs for being bad and says he's beaten SSLs before. He has three SSL tournament winner titles.

>> So, this guy's cracked. I guess if you had to immediately vote for somebody in this lobby, just high vibes alone. Who we going for?

Akuma. Oh, I'm not trying to throw shade. But so far, my teammate has been a little bad, >> bro.

You You don't know how to play this game. You got to butter up your teammate until the very end and then you backstab them. >> No, I'm just playing nervous to be honest.

I'm >> They're honestly playing pretty well. Um Akuma, what Grand Champ are you? Grand champ one or two or three or what's up?

>> Uh I'm peak Grand Champ 2. >> Peak? >> Yeah, same here.

I peaked um 1500. >> Boys, orange team, you guys are dominating despite the ping. I'm impressed.

He's just he's just great. I got the best teammates. I'm going to be so realist.

>> This champ says he's won three SSL tournaments. >> That's crazy. >> I know.

That's wild. That's a wild statement. Kraken, you have a very GC looking car, but when I look at CIS, >> it's just a stock tank, and that's throwing me off a lot, to be honest.

[laughter] All right, let's see. Akuma's got some mechs. Maybe I feel like a champ who's once messed tournaments has to have some mechs.

Okay. A little bit of miscommunication there. >> I'm not a me player at all.

>> Dude, did you just respond to my voice call about the champ? Did you just admit it? >> Nice.

[laughter] >> Maybe player. >> But we caught him, boys. Cuz right now I'm like legitimately lost.

>> It's really even. Honestly, I right now Velocity's missed a couple easy ones. So I right now my sus is on velocity, but that's about it.

Akuma seems pretty good, >> dude. The blue team's actually got some animosity. They are voting for each other right now for who they think is the bad play.

>> Crazy. >> Sis, let's let's see something here. Show us what you're capable of.

>> Okay. All right. That That was kind of a champ flip.

I'll say it. >> We We don't talk. [laughter] >> Uh what level grand champ are you, sis?

Are you like GC 1 3? Like what's up? >> Uh I'm sitting in between GC2 and [music] GC3 right now.

>> Kraken. What about you, bro? >> GC1.

>> Okay. Like what MMR specifically? Let's let's see if you know what MMR is.

GC1. >> Uh well, I've won a couple couple games in GC1. So, I'm almost 1500, but not quite.

>> Okay. He does know what the MMR is. All right, boys.

We We got to pull it together. Everyone's sus of you guys right now. This is not good.

>> It's mostly me. It's not my teammates. Just me.

>> Yeah, [laughter] I think I'm sorry, >> dude. Velocity the bro, you have a sick decal. What?

What is that? I don't think I've seen that before. It's um it's a dream state.

>> Dram stage. >> So many way too hard. She was trying way too hard.

>> Sis Cis is good. Like sis is actually very good. What do you guys think the champ would look like though?

>> Look how I'm playing on. >> Okay. The self-deprecation.

I like it. I like it. We somehow did it downfield.

Maybe one more goal for the road. >> Okay. Flick.

Oh, great challenge by assist. Holy moly. That That was a one-sided game.

I I wish I had a better vote, but I think I'm kind of lost. Uh, let me get us all in one call here. Okay.

All right. >> I'm dribbling. >> Boys, round two is completed.

And I'm kind of lost. Orange team, you guys looked really good. I mean, my head is thinking it must be on the blue team, but honestly, there's no guarantee.

Nothing looked super champy to me overall. Maybe I'm missing it. So, it's time to ask you guys.

Let's start with the winners. Mr Kraken, who do you think was secretly the champ? And why?

>> I think it was velocity. He missed about two shots on that that definitely could [laughter] have could have went true, but tough. >> That's that's my thought.

>> Remember this champ has won SSL tournaments. So, this is a seasoned veteran. So, I don't know if that influences anything, but anyways.

C, what about you, bro? >> Uh, I'll probably say Akuma obviously cuz he's won the three times tournament and he's obviously going to be a lot more consistent, but I feel like there was some flaws in his gameplay like rotation, but that's [music] my opinion. Akuma, who do you vote for and why?

>> So, at first I was thinking it was Kraken because he couldn't speed flip, but then I remembered my teammates couldn't do that either. >> So, I'm going to say Velocity because his rotation was a little bit out. >> Oh, no.

>> Just as bad. >> And velocity. Last last but not least.

>> Who are you going to vote for? >> I'm going to have to vote out my teammate because I see some inconsistencies. >> I did miss open nets and I kind of played like a champ.

So, I understand why you voted in. That's all good. >> So, then it really comes down to my vote.

And I really swear I guess I don't have a better way to prove this, but I really don't know who it is. I'm struggling here, but I'm going to pick between Velocity and Akuma. Who had the most votes?

Between the two of you, I am going for Velocity [music] is my vote. All right, boys. Three, two, one.

Reveal yourself. Kraken. Oh, >> dude.

What? What are you doing in champ? Dude, you dominated that match.

>> Crazy. >> Explain yourself. >> Great teammate.

This was a great teammate. Set me up well. [laughter] Um >> and uh it was just a great great teammate.

Honestly, >> our last but not least arrogant player is a grand champ one who says he deserves SSL because he's gotten top 65 in the last 2v2 Cash Cup while facing 2K MMR players. He even said he had a close match against Mizu in Flitz. I guess let's put him to the test.

Boys, welcome to the SSL round. Uh, carding 16. What MMR SSL are you right now?

>> Um, n I'm 1880 right now, but my peak's 1920. >> Okay, you have that pretty ready to go. That sounded confident to me, you know.

What about your partner GES? >> I'm only 1900. >> You're 1900?

>> I didn't play much this season. I did see you were playing rematch before this and you're I guess now a competitive rematch player. So is that taking up your time?

>> Uh in France we got like uh multi-gaming cups like there with a lot of games and we need to load them like in like a month. >> Oh, got you. >> So I just nearly quit Rocket League to play a lot of those cups.

>> What do you feel like the difference between SSL and Grand Champ is going to be? What are you looking for right now? >> Speed and consistency to be honest.

>> Yeah, like every rank. Is there anything like specific? Do you feel like a grand champ's going to go for some crazy mechanic or or not?

I don't know. Like what do you look for? >> Probably going to be a bit more slower than Souls to be honest.

>> Yeah, I do feel like the higher we go up in the ranks, the more it's just a speed issue right now. You guys are doing great though, too. Oi, that's a great start, boys.

>> I mean, Drr is giving off a lot of balls. I think >> Drner is throwing. You're already calling him out.

I like it. I mean, yeah, you you got to be looking out. I need to look out myself and find out who this uh who this odd man out is.

Blue team lock in. We are down bad right now. >> I need to look in.

I need to look in. >> No, that shot was there. >> What is going on out here?

>> Oh no. I tried to I tried to tap. >> Sentivity.

Is that how you say that? Sentivity. Okay.

Uh who are you sussing out right now? Who's seeming kind of kind of not very >> currently? >> No more Sly B.

my teammate lined up right now. >> No sly remarks. That's crazy.

You're voting for your teammate. Can I ask why? Drner, try not to take any offense here.

>> Yeah, [laughter] >> I need to be like as respectfully as possible whatsoever. >> Drner, I mean, you have you have the floor here. Do you want to defend yourself or do you want to call someone else out?

>> What's the play? >> We're down 40. >> I think he has a good point.

I'm kind of just playing bad right now. [laughter] >> Okay, fair enough. Drner, what MMR SSL are you?

Uh, last season I was 2012. Okay, that is pretty high. I'm not going to lie.

Uh, and what about Centivity? Where are you at? >> I'm currently in 1913.

>> If everyone's telling the truth, which I know someone's not, but if but if they were, this is actually a very fair lobby. Everyone's claiming like mid to low 1900, maybe low to 2K. It kind of checks out.

[music] All right, let's see. Drner, show me something. Do some mechs.

Unlucky there. I can play this. >> All right, bomb shot.

Let's Let's see you guys get a goal. Let's Yeah, perfect. I just had to say it.

I don't know why I haven't said that earlier. It was that easy, boys. I just manifested a goal on accident for the blue team.

That's that that's my bad. It does look like they're struggling to I don't know, get some Drr's going for some wacky shots. I'm currently kind of eyeing him myself.

I'm not really liking the way that he's playing. >> Yeah, he's playing a bit slow to be honest. >> Yeah.

Is that who you guys are sussing out as well? Um, a little bit. Yeah, >> GE, how do you feel about this?

Anybody standing out to you? >> I mean, he did pretty good on that goal, but >> yeah, nice follow, but yeah, look, >> to be fair, yeah, on my end, I saw he was he was out of boost. He had to pre flip it, but it was tough.

Maybe you guys can impress us with your mechanics here. That that'd be crazy. Okay.

All right. >> Two, another 150. Who on your team right now is contributing the most?

>> No, it's it's human. Okay, nice. What's like the best shot you can hit carding?

>> Um, probably a quad reset. >> Quad reset. Okay, that's pretty solid.

I'm nowhere near that. Eats, what about you, man? >> Uh, triple musty.

>> Triple must. Are you a freestyler? >> Uh, I was like in 2020, but okay, I got you.

Yeah. Oh, what a shot. It's off target.

Drner finally had a chance to redeem himself. >> Boys, let's go. Oh, I joined the call and you stole and you scored again.

That's crazy. >> Guys, you guys need to lock in. They are very suspicious of your team as as a whole right now.

So, >> I got you. I got you. >> All right, that's a great kickoff, honestly.

>> Going for the mechs. That was a pretty sick shot though, J. I'll give you some credit.

>> Nice. Oh, thank you for >> Good touch. 8 seconds left.

Come on, boys. One more goal for the road. Lock in.

Nice cow. I respect that a little miss con there, >> boys. Well done.

Well done. Let's all get in a call here, boys. The final round has concluded.

Uh, believe it or not, there was a grand champ among you guys. Um, I'm not going to lie, that did look pretty one-sided for the orange team over the blue team, but it was a pretty close match despite that. We'll start with our winning team.

In that case, uh we'll start with GS. >> Uh so for me, it's Doner because he whiffed a lot and just basically wasn't really here in the match like going for balls that he couldn't get and everything like that. [music] >> Just didn't think he made the right decisions.

I got you. Um Carding, what do you think? >> Um I think it was Jonah as well cuz he kept messing up a lot.

Um I know that's about it really. He kept playing a bit slow and that's about it. activity.

What are you thinking here? >> I I will have to vote my teammate up due to like [laughter] >> you've been so nice about it, bro. >> Making me laugh.

So, yeah, I'm going to I'm going to vote my teammate due to lacking confidence in plays. Like >> confidence. >> Uh he's hesitating a lot.

>> Hesitating. >> But yeah, he's overall he's he's a decent player, but I wouldn't say he belongs in this rank. Drner.

Um, unfortunately the votes are stacked against you. So instead of having you cast a vote since it's over, I will allow you to at least defend yourself and explain yourself before we get into the reveal. >> I did play bad.

>> But would I do if I were to be able to vote? >> Yeah, >> I feel like I feel like it's G. He was just on his teammate a lot.

>> Do you think I should ignore everyone else and pick GES over you? >> Yeah. >> Well, I feel like Yeah, that's the obvious choice.

I'm going to have to go with the majority. I hate to do it, but I have to go with droner. I don't think it would make sense for me to last minute go with GES just because of the scoreboard itself.

Three, two, one. Real quick before the truth, I launched an entirely new IRL channel. I'll have the video linked after this one.

The first thousand subs get entered for a gift card, and I'll do that until 10K. But really, this is just something I've always wanted to try, so I'm going for it. If it's not your thing, all good.

Just keep watching this channel. But if it is, it'll be linked at the end of this video. Okay, big reveal.

Who was it? >> It was me, actually. >> Drner, [laughter] >> you were alive.

You had it. >> What happened, bro? You threw me off.
