Speaking candidly for once about "This is Rocket League"
It blows my mind that a call I made while tripping over my words in S5 became the tagline for an entire esport
Entry ends 25/06/18
I'm in a bloody good mood so I'm giving away an ALPHA CAP! Sparkling and barely used. All you have to do to win is like, retweet and of course...

's "THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE" actually happen in game on Champion's Field if, and only if, a goal happens at zero seconds
Fun fact: Europe has only won the RLCS in seasons that I have been a part of the casting crew (2,3,4,5).
I'm not saying I'm literally the only reason for an entire regions success, but I am implying it.
I doubt the imposter syndrome will ever go away but I do appreciate those of you that come up to me about it, as fraudulent as it feels, I appreciate having left my mark on a game that gave me everything
Thankful to announce I will be returning to the EU broadcast for another season
I'm certain myself and the team will do everything we can to build the best show possible, and I'm looking forward to being a part of that process
It's something I struggle to wrap my brain around whenever I see a content piece or someone brings it up.
So it's been easier to meme or pretend that I hate it than to accept the praise for four words I said on a panicked whim
Kro was SARPBC's main representative when RL came out and took to the role incredibly, inviting new players to get as good as him rather than gate keeping
His involvement and streams at the start of RL's lifespan was one of the biggest factors in the games early success
Throwing some positivity on the timeline
Professional gameplay is in the healthiest state its ever been in. When a series clicks its impossible to take your eyes off it.
Caught myself a few months back going back down the wrong path of weight gain and im ecstatic with the progress since
Pic 1 is Winter Major
Pic 2 is yesterday
Job is halfway done. Pic 3 will just be a marble statue
It's so weird knowing my next broadcast is at LAN
The whole process over the past two years has been super bloody weird, gonna be great to see the team again
NA vs EU was a solid starting rivalry when the scene needed time to develop its characters, but this felt like the first true season where that was put to the wayside and the focus was on the team narratives and what they had accomplished (or not) over the past four years.
As much as I like
@JohnnyBoi_i
I can't help but feel like Rocket League broadcasting needs an angrier Scot that gets mad at the defense everytime a goal goes in.
I just want to hear the sentence "Yeah but tha defense was an absolute shambles" and I'll be happy.
Serious tweet:
That was special to be a part of. Thanks for having me back! And thanks to
@GoJamesbotGo
for helping me get the most out of that finals.
The less I've had "This is Rocket League" thrown at my head over the past year the more I've grown to enjoy the call
The commentary mechanics were sloppy, the words were a jumbled mess, and there was nothing to save it besides sheer passion
Nothing else could represent me
Yes I am very excited that RL is going on ESPN
I'm even more stocked for the angry tweets about "The shouty British bloke who is way too excited about video games"
It might be a week late but I'm ecstatic to announce that it looks like my VISA has been approved
After four years of trumendous frustration I'm soo happy to finally have it sorted out
Reddit always manages to come up with a conspiracy theory that's way more entertaining than the truth.
So here's a quick summary for you guys:
- VISA's are bloody difficult to get ahold of
- Psyonix made a proper effort to have me involved in future seasons but it didnt work out
Rocket League needs real content. Not analysing players to see what makes them great, but rather a comprehensive ranking of every own goal in RLCS history.
I only developed this opinion recently but watching RLCS makes me think we need bigger maps.
People can clear the entire length of the pitch with ease from anywhere and everyones so fast that the map seems almost clustered. I feel like we've "outgrown" the map with current play.
It's not juicy drama but if this is the end I'd like to put a thanks over the
@remkoe
for a stellar career.
When the game started he and WDG were the first to challenge the SARPBC dominance. They revolutionised how early RL was played.
I know snap roster changes are all the rage, but I hope G2 doesn't change this roster. 5 bad weeks can happen to anyone in any sport, don't mess with this roster.
I never want to see Vatira, Zen, or Monkey Moon team up
Please just let them constantly build teams to outdo each other
Those three being the faces of their respective org's trying to be the top team could make for years of entertainment
Fans
Talent
Players
Psyonix
This week is our chance to establish a new chapter of Rocket League, let's come together to make this something otherworldly

Congrats to
@KronoviRL
for winning the Kronovi Award
The award was originally for player we'd love to see on the broadcast but he pulled some beautiful moves off in the past 24 hours to ensure victory
Lufthansa have:
- Taken me to the wrong airport
- Made me miss my layover
- Have rebooked me on a flight that makes me miss my event
- Will not book a hotel for the night
This has been the absolute worst travel experience of my life
On a serious note the
@RLEsports
production team absolutely killed it this weekend. They were put into a horrible situation with barely any notice and still managed to bring us top tier Rocket League.
Outstanding work.
