@PhyCasts Location leaked I am rapidly approaching your place of residence

See you guys at BLAST Fort Worth

@melinkss Omg the skin is real does this mean you can speak to people now?

I made a skin for my #theflight character hehe she's so silly

@WahveyRL Wahvey winning this reg see you in Paris!

NA has been battling big for the #1 on leaderboards the past week but finally got first myself LMAO Excited for the regional this weekend, we been grinding 🫡

@STYKOcs It's a major, keeping kyxsan won't magically relieve them of pressure. Arguably they can treat the karrigan line up as a long term project and just go into cologne without expectations

Falcons have a chance to win IEM Cologne Major, but only if kyxsan is part of this lineup. just sayin.

hey @Vatira5, confirming I've seen this and that it's top of mind for us. we're actively working to get more anti-botting measures in ASAP, alongside the upcoming release of Easy Anti-Cheat, to make sure you guys can play without any disruptions.

Je pense qu’il est temps que les choses changent à propos de Rocket League et d’Epic Games. Je n’ai pas parlé depuis quelque temps, mais la situation du jeu est dramatique. Ce qui fait vivre Rocket League, c’est l’esport, de par son intensité, sa facilité de compréhension, mais avant tout le niveau individuel incroyable de tous les joueurs professionnels. Vous savez où je veux en venir : bots et DDoS. Nous avons dû créer des serveurs Discord pour essayer de jouer de manière compétitive, mais ce n’est pas la solution miracle. C’est compliqué à gérer, pas facile d’accès, puis évidemment nous ne pouvons pas rassembler tous les joueurs du monde entier. Le problème étant que le niveau global des joueurs régresse et que notre temps de jeu est divisé par deux ou par trois. Epic Games, faites quelque chose tout de suite. À tous mes amis créateurs de contenu : ce n’est pas normal pour vous non plus d’avoir à subir ça. Les gens ne regardent plus Rocket League, les streamers perdent potentiellement leur communauté et peuvent perdre leur métier. Il est temps de réaliser que nous ne pouvons plus attendre, sinon Rocket League finira comme Rocket Racing. Rassemblons la communauté et formons qu'un. #RLNEEDCHANGES

@flameZcsgo That ain't life gaming that's your new average

@MemoryRL We're all watching with baited breath because we know you can go be the best. Keep working and results will follow. And whatever you do, manage the pressure as much as you can.

Really disappointing, GGs to everyone. We haven't looked like ourselves for a bit, a lot to reflect on and we'll be back stronger for the next one

USE GOALMAXXING. #AD.

@RAWGREGRL Remember. None of the people online know what goes on, what you or anyone other than the players does for the team. Don't let it affect your mental, but still make sure you look at yourself so you can be the best YOU think you can be.

At a certain point, I just have to address what's on my mind and I guess that time is now. I have always come to Twitter to give the fans of my players an inside look at the way we do things, the way I think about our team's performance and give my honest feedback about events occurring within the community. I have tried for years now to go on all the media sources our community has to offer, to answer questions and share my beliefs about basically everything I care about. Does it come across as cringe sometimes? Maybe but I truly couldn't care less. Anybody that knows me knows that I love to talk to everyone and share information so that we can come together and I can attempt to give you something to root for. For that, I know I have a target on my back especially on social media and especially during tough times like this. Over the past year, I have done this inside look less and less and I don't think its hard to understand why. I agree with every single one of you that this year has been god awful and the finger has to be pointed at someone. For all purposes, it probably should be pointed at me but to say that I'm a fraud or I don't know what I'm doing is just pure hate with no attempt at understanding any situation that goes on behind the scenes. To put it simply, we have underachieved with the most amount of resources at our disposal courtesy of Gen.G and Mobil1. Don't you think its deflating enough to put in as much work as we do and come up short 3 regionals in a row? I sat here for months after last split correcting my mistakes firstly because I couldn't believe it myself, adjusting our team's playstyle and communication and I will tell you that we all felt insanely confident going into this regional especially with the edition of someone like Frosty who has been an infectious beacon of hope for Rise, MB, Kev and myself. We spend hours looking at replays, simplifying reads, and making sure we are putting our players in the best spots to succeed on and off the field. Sometimes you fall short and thats the truth of the matter. I'm not satisfied with it and I'm not someone that's going to sugarcoat it either. You have to be better especially when you are in the position we are in. With that being said, I am still extremely confident in the team we have here at Gen.G and I know they are confident in me so I'm gonna do what I know best and that is to put my head down and try my best so we can be prepared for the next regionals and the months ahead. I'm sure I'll grab some hate from this somehow but I'm not going to change who I am anytime soon. Love you all.

@RAWGREGRL @ArchieRL_ Politely Greg, people look at the team you have, and think those players are all better than 7th in NA. When the players are much better individually than the team shows together, blame naturally turns to the coach. Obviously, none of us know anything about coaching, ignore us.

"Haven't been on Reddit in a while, lets check and see what people are talking about..." Thank you brotha @ArchieRL_

@Jay_rl_ We're stuck with the Fortnite prize pool split of less money at the top for more money further down. There isn't a need to payout for losing a qualifier

Wait can someone explain why R6's prize pools are so much bigger than ours? like damn (no our majors do not account for the difference)

@dionginge @FiveFears @WahveyRL Dropped for being blind this has to be against some rule

@FiveFears The concept of @WahveyRL not being the most blind on his team

Close enough

An Open Letter to @EpicGames, @RocketLeague, and @TimSweeneyEpic: Not another hate post. Not personally calling out the developers of Rocket League unfairly. But a genuine plea for help, because the game I love is in an inexcusable state. Up until recently, I thought that posting about cheating would only make it worse. I tried not to make content with DDoS and/or botting being the subject, as to not popularize it and introduce more people to it. Unfortunately, when every single top content creator can't go 3 games in ANY ranked game mode without running into bots, that same philosophy just doesn't hold up. Everybody knows how large of an issue this is now. The bots are everywhere, and there is NO hiding it. The root of the issue? People buying accounts that are boosted to SSL. And it seems like there are several solutions to be implemented that would help curb this issue. To name a few: - Prevent fresh accounts (less than 2000 lifetime wins) from achieving SSL rewards - Hardware bans (EAC will make this possible afaik) - Detect suspicious account activity (Unusual MMR gain, playing from different locations in the world) - Remove split screen ranked - Make accounts be 2FA enabled and linked to a phone number - Disable third party injection into the game - Reports for "Cheating" automatically upload replays to a replay data parser that can detect inhuman consistency in movements (such as whosbotting.com) - MMR return system for players who lost MMR to cheaters (Accounts would need to be harder to make before this, to prevent extreme MMR inflation) - Hiring 5-10 full-time employees to manually review reports from the game. Obviously these solutions are not all simple. Many will require complex implementation and nuance in order to not harm the experience of a normal player. There needs to be a coordinated effort from Rocket League developers and Epic Games to tackle these cheaters, and eliminate the financial incentive that these cheaters have to mass boost accounts using bots and DDoS. And the part that really hurts? It just seems like the Rocket League team is simply not staffed enough to make that coordinated and large scale effort. Despite Epic Games making more revenue by: - Taking away trading - Increasing item shop costs - Seeing a massive surge in player count due to streamers like @jynxzi getting into the game It seems, from an external perspective, like all this extra revenue is not being reinvested into the game and developer team in a way that makes the experience better for the average player. This game has survived and THRIVED for almost 11 years now. Everybody who gets into Rocket League gets hooked for the rest of their life. The game itself, of course, but also one of the most electric esports in the industry. It all hooks people in and makes them dedicated Rocket League fans for life. Am I going to sit here and lie on the timeline and say that I'm going to quit the game? No. I have more passion for creating content, and even improving my competitive skill in this game, than I ever have had before. Not only that, but I'm lucky enough to call Rocket League content creation my full time job. That's not something I could so easily give up. Rather, I love this game so much that I want to see it do well, and for the game to prosper in the way that this large community of Rocket League fans KNOWS it can, change needs to start from the top. So Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, Rocket League. Although you might see increased player counts right now, due to the influence of some of the largest streamers in the world getting into Rocket League, understand that hype is short. If you really want to hook these new players, and make them players for life, fix the issues currently plaguing your games. Make it so your creators and pros can actually play your game again. Show us that we are heard, so that we can wholeheartedly recommend Rocket League to our audiences as the game to play. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I just hope that someone who cares was able to see this, and get the message where it needs to go. With Concern, Coconut ❤️
