@Mike__Charlton @SharkMelodic @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN A team of canadas skill level, they should have a top 16 RLCS coach from a major region especially to help them out in close series. Could not hurt + I’m sure there’s multiple qualified candidates who fit that bill

@SharkMelodic @5strsRL @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN 1) Not every national team is going to have a top 32 RLCS coach nor should they. 2) seb does have enough knowledge of the game to be a team manager (even if you don't think so). 3) He was selected for the role by a committee for more than just knowing how to pick a team.

JOINT STATEMENT FROM CANADIAN ROCKET LEAGUE PROS We are speaking out on the current handling of Team Canada for @FIFAe, and potentially @ENC_EN. ​ As RLCS players, we take a lot of pride in representing Canada and believe we have the ability and talent to compete at the highest level at these events. We (Reveal, Tawk, and Sosa) were all super excited when we heard we finally got a team at FIFAe this year. However, the current process led by @Esport_Canada, especially for FIFAe under CEO Melissa Burns, has raised serious concerns, and we are worried this will also snowball into the ENC. ​ We have made multiple efforts to communicate, through messages, emails, and calls, but have not been taken seriously or included in the process whatsoever. There has been no real involvement from players in roster decisions, despite this being described publicly as a “player-first” approach in their posts/overviews. There is also no real understanding of how Rocket League operates at the top level, and those who try to advise are being ignored. This Esport is heavily led by players within teams, and removing other players and us from that process makes it difficult to fully commit. The selection criteria itself states that those involved in evaluating candidates should be relevant esports industry professionals, former professional esports athletes, coaches or analysts, or performance specialists. However, some people conducting interviews and making final decisions do not have that criteria, including the current Team Manager who is heavily involved in decision-making despite not being aligned with the player perspective and lacks Tier 1 RLCS experience, which is the standard they emphasize throughout their criteria. Many of the decision makers were directly appointed while already serving as “advisors” within Esport Canada. This has contributed to a growing lack of trust with us, due to how disorganized and disconnected the process has been compared to other nations in Rocket League, and we hope this does not extend into any other teams within the ENC for Canada. At this level, Rocket League is heavily mental. Confidence in your team and having the environment players want directly impacts performance. This isn’t about specific people involved, but the structure and process involved with building the teams. As it stands, the route they are taking risks Canada not fielding its strongest possible roster, and it is unlike other countries participating in these events. We want to represent our country really badly; it's one of our dreams and one of the reasons why we still play this game, but to do that properly, players need a voice too. ​ These concerns are agreed and signed upon by Canadian RLCS players, including Reveal, Sosa, Tawk, PNDH, Taroco, and Resonal. The process is backwards, and it needs to be addressed. This is not an attack on any individual, but a call for a better, more transparent system that allows players to contribute more to building the best possible Team Canada. (@DawsonLovell for vis)

@Mike__Charlton @SharkMelodic @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN I get what ur saying and agree but he’s either completely the problem or part of the problem If he’s playing a small part in this & knows this is going on & doesn’t even try to fix it and sits idle, it’s on him Managers have to support their players, his silence is a bad image

@5strsRL @SharkMelodic @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN I agree that choosing the wrong roster could cause this but I just can't stand here and say seb is the only one doing it. The OG tweet reads like there is more people involved & its causing more issues. I also think that the org isn't running things like a normal RLCS team 1/2

@Mike__Charlton @SharkMelodic @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN 2nd part agreed. Just bc he’s around RL twitter doesn’t mean he knows the skill gap at the highest level. Most casters don’t have any idea what’s actually going on RLCS just chooses based on personalities Esp this being a region where choosing a wrong player/two can cost u LAN

@5strsRL @SharkMelodic @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN You completely misunderstood what I said. The twitter comment was a jab at said person for being on twitter less than seb has been around RL implying he has no idea what he is talking about. U are also assuming its seb solo discretion on who starts which neither of us can prove.

@PigChaos @supnitroo Lil ceasers gotta be at least B it’s a nasty deal. Every other take valid tho

valid? me and @supnitroo list

@Mike__Charlton @SharkMelodic @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN Being on twitter for a long time + casting at most levels does not make him exceed the criteria at all. When you have the power he does, you need to be informed & credible to make decisions like who to start over who. He is not qualified to do that after casting for some years

@SharkMelodic @reveal_rl @FIFAe @ENC_EN He far exceeds any criteria this role has and you questioning it just shows how shallow your knowledge of the game is. On top of this you don't need to be top 0.1% at the game to be a good team manager. A coach? Maybe. But that's not his role.

@MonkJR_ 🙏🙏

hey guys so not to bombard the timeline but my wife is having a lot of complications post childbirth and we are heading to the hospital now to see what’s going on. Baby Athena is perfectly healthy, but my wife is really struggling and we could really use a lot of prayers.

@damBeckwith Sucks man, no one should have to go through that. Keeping ur peers in my thoughts 🙏

I'm so sad :( I survived the layoffs, but it's incredibly difficult to stomach what my friends, who did not, are going through right now. ugh..

@RoyalesNTC @CoachStolen 2 banger pinches in the past few days is crazy, W coaching

Pinch from today's win against WVU :) 3rd in CRL rn! Couple losses that shouldn't happen but we still in good shape to make into the championship

@damBeckwith All this niners hype for the offensive core to be injured by week 3 and defensive core to be out by week 5 People hate playing the wait and see game

Exactly how many years has it been since the 49ers won a Super Bowl:

@TheDangerTaco @gske_ Derek Morgan the goat himself no way

@Arxh_13 Unfortunately u and a few others 😭

@ConeyRl_ @RL_Status Fair

@5strsRL @RL_Status I’m assuming they’re not directly saying bot accounts for whatever reason. They could also be talking about smurfs I guess but I’m gonna say 80-90% of the accounts they’re not giving rewards to are bots

Ahead of today's Season 22 launch, we made significant changes to how we identify smurf accounts. Based on these improvements, over 20,000 accounts at or above Grand Champion I are not eligible for Season 21 Competitive Rewards, including S21 GC and SSL Titles. We'll continue to evolve this process as part of our broader efforts to protect competitive integrity and encourage fair play.

@DJTJRL Seeding will be better for the next opens, wasn’t last semesters open 1 seeding scuffed too?

6 qualifier groups :( I want content man I want ultra close games I want teams being tested, lowkey I think all the one seeds win their pools MAYBE except for 5 and 6 where it might be close.
