I thought the amount of fear I had for zen after the 4-1 start for jack was unparalleled, I soon found out that that fear would be overshadowed by my own fear for Jacks's well-being in seconds. This dude is nuts...
What a crazy sentence
I suppose we could like this for no spoilers or something
Try not to look at the video length as well. Bless up ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Nah i am good
*looks at length of video and does elementary math*
Mvp
I dare say, we SHOULD even!
it feels like just in the last 12 months we've seen pure mechanical monsters come out of the woodwork, makes me wonder how people will look in the next couple years
I remember feeling like astral was already finding the mechanical ceiling for rocket league. It’s unreal what this new gen of players is doing
i think we are currently living in those next couple years
zen is here and as good as now until 5 years or more, this kid is stupidly good
ong bro they use air roll in L2 so they can do it at different speeds LMAO
I remember when US streamer were not believing the day Zen won the 1v3 Grand champion concept on Fury's channel. They are now quiet about Zen..
The only other player that almost won it was Vatira.
we need zen vs rw9 and nwpo just to set his rank right
Zen would wipe him easily and ik rw9 is good but zen is a different level
@@kyleb7011 doubt zen would beat rw9
@@TH-cx2yxthere’s only one way to find out. We need the match!
@@TH-cx2yx he would
Forgot that many yt comments randoms are experts
How can he be this much better
I’m not sure if appjack was a little off or not, without being able to see his POV, but it’s possible. Sometimes he plays a little more hesitant when he has a ton of (maybe too much) respect for his opponent. He’s already made a video declaring Zen to be potentially a #1 player, so we know the respect is there for sure. Also, idk how much experience he’s had dueling Zen, since Zen’s newer to 1v1, so that combined with the respect could’ve played a role.
Then again, Zen is insane, so he really may just be that much better. As of now this seems to be true.
My mind is blown these past 3 showmatches. Johnny said it best, it's as if he sees the game in slow motion. Somehow always knows where his opponent is, never miscalculates who is closest to the ball, summons power out of nowhere using the power of baguettes. It doesn't make sense to me either, only possibility is he's the chosen one
Analog Air Roll Left lol
@@1maonade Appjack *is* probably off. It is the middle of the Winter RLCS split so he is likely focusing more on scrims and 2v2 ranked than 1s. I mean, if he was grinding 1s more than just a few games a day he would be in the Top 10, but he isn't from what Johnny said at the start.
The problem as well is that as Johnny said Jack is a highly adaption focused player. Jack was dominating EU in the 1s scene while he was there because he also played them in ranked so much, now he is in NA he is doing the same when he does 1v1s with NA players. Compared to prior to being in NA having a rather meh record against NA players.
i mean look at scrub killa back i his prime he was lightyears away better than anyone else in 1s
Every one of these showmatch with Zen makes me so excited for his entry in RLCS soon can’t wait to see
watching this video now, it's funny to read those comments. he even surpassed what we all expected
You should cast Zen vs. NWPO next because not only would it be an insanely mechy match, but it would also answer the question of who is the best banned player in the world.
Battle of the Banneds! Love it
Why are they banned?
@@alecthomson5027 They were too young to play in RLCS so they went on alt-accounts to bypass the age restriction. RLCS gives out a one year ban to any player who does this starting from the time they reach the minimum age to play RLCS. They both are banned for the same reason. Zen is unbanned in a month or two (I think) and NWPO in like six months or so (I think).
@@dylanmoreno6381he’s unbanned in 2 days homie
Definitely gotta see more of Zen! This kid is insanely talented. Maybe against rw9? Nwpo? Yan?
yeah very curious to see how he would go against rw9 and yan
ive never seen jack just get absolutely manhandled like this
7:51 that set up to himself is so beautiful
Zen is insane
what we ACTUALLY need is Zen vs Flakes... the ultimate clash of styles, still Zen's W
Flakes crushed dark who is a mechanic monster
@@gregansbootstrap5352 Dark is just not consistent enough for ones rn. He has an insanely high ceiling but he just doesn't perform at that ceiling often (we've seen what happens when he does). His fundamentals are lacking as well.
Let’s be real, the only person who can stop zen is fairy peak
Said the same thing. The greatest 1v1 player to ever play!
This comment is so valid. I actually came to the comments looking for this exact statement. Make it happen Johnny!
i love fairy, but i think watching him get slapped around by zen would be a bit upsetting lol
@@kapii86 i agree with that
Hahaha what?
After only 2 months of playing ones and you'd have to say he's already on the level of Yanx, Npow, Trk, FirstKiller, Daniel, AayJay, Mawkzy. crazy
Most likely higher. Only time will tell for sure
No he is above them, all of them, every single one.
i mean you cant really say after 2 months of playing ones, all listed players have played 1s for years, now showmatches yes, but gotta remember he's probably faced every one of those people in ranked
How you gonna forget Rw9? Smh
At the level of app jack did u see the series?
Zen vs Trk or Nwpo since their styles clash it would be nice to see who would come out on top. Also the clips would be nonstop!
we need zen vs some of the mena players, cause so far he's just ran through everyone and made it look pretty easy. i don't think he'll make it look as easy in the future but so far it just looks like he's playing a completely different game. zens the truth
Dark vs zen is a banger of a video if it happens
Spoiler...
AppJack is gracious even in defeat. Always the gentleman.
Also, Zen is a nightmare. He's so quick it's unnerving.
I'm convinced he sold his soul for a download of RL straight to his cranium
The match we were all waiting for
Someone in chat said “zen only has luck” 😂
zen vs nwpo or rw9 would be a very interesting match to watch. Hope we get to see it soon!
We need to see Flakes vs Zen
LMFAO
@@TH-cx2yx Why is that funny when despite not playing for a long time, Flakes beat Dark?
@@brotherhoodofsteel3090 dude it would be a blowout. Flakes would not even be close to taking a single game
@@brotherhoodofsteel3090 Fr the disrespect is crazy these days. Probably doesn't help that Johnny keeps repeating that Flakes "only fake challenges" like he never casted on of his games and knows better..
@@FunkiMonki69 it's not disrespect, flakes is not a top 20 1v1 player anymore and dark barely is or maybe even isn't, so beating him isn't that impressive. Zen is in conversation for very best rn. Except for maybe rw9, trk and Daniel I don't think anyone stands a chance. So unless you think it's outrageous that flakes doesn't get credited as a top 5 player, it's not disrespectful
What about 'be careful' Fairy Peak?
We need to see Zen vs Dark, Nwpo and Trk
Dark is flashy and amazing gifted but his defense is lacking compared to the other top players imo, but nwpo rw9 or trk 100% agreed
@@drewurquhart4275 I can see that , but he still beat Daniel, almost beat Firstkiller and Nwpo so he is definetly one of the best
If anything that Dark vs Zen match would be great to see who is indeed the most mechanical player currently (I would say it is Dark by far tbh, followed by Nwpo and Zen)
Zen would melt dark but nwpo and trk would be a very interesting match-up
@@davidkosiba624I reckon zen would overpower dark on defence but wouldn’t mind watching that mechanical matchup
When I saw the video length I was like damn not too surprising that jack sweeps zen but damn zen is just different I need more showmatches immediately
Jack hardly even play 1s for months now, it's the sadest thing for me in RL. I used to enjoy daily uploads of 1s games, then Jack fell off his 1s grind, focused on 3s, and now GenG is the world's best team with him at the front, and yet I'd rather see him pick up 1s again. No doubt for me Jack can be no1 in 1s if he wasn't taken away by 3s mode :/
@@Exsulator2 One of the saddest things is how 3s are cannibalizing 1s. I hope there will be 1s RLCS soon in the future.
Would love to see Zen vs Dan or Firstkiller. Maybe Zen in a 2s show match? Loving this content. Zen is unreal. Best mechs in the world? Also super impressed with his fifties. Would love to see him against one of the top mechanical players in NA
Daniel and zen tomorrow on Johnnyboi twitch stream 5pmET
@@broseph2219 wow! Nice:)
@@broseph2219 tytyty
holyy ok yeah he is definitely living up to the hype right now
Haven’t seen past this point yet, but zens shot at 5:30 has to be the most control I’ve ever seen that shit was bonkers
You should host a 1v1 show match best of 1 in slow motion
I love watching 1v1's
I’m speechless 2 months and looks unbeatable by pros who have been at the top for a long time.
I wanna see Zen vs Rw9 real bad
I want to see rw9, the best defender in 1s, take on Zen. Unstoppable offense vs impenetrable defense. If he breaks down rw9's defense then i think its just a wrap lol
I always secretly cheer for zens opponents and I always hope they win, but I have to admit zen is just a different breed.
We need the 2 best players in the world rn to 1v1 zen vs vatira
Gotta do zen vs dark surely
nice gameplay guys and jack nice come back
Did Drali have a resume similar to Zen's? I know he's absolutely ridiculous, but Drali took down the top dogs and just retired for a bit lol, then came back and did it again
Zen gives mr braingasms everytime i watch him playing like he just plays 99% of time PERFECTLY
Deal.... absolute.... lord. I love AppJack. I think he's a top 3 player in RLCS as a complete and all-around player. Zen made him look like a C1 or C2... Absolutely insane.
When you are young and full of confidence with natural talent and a thirst for improvement, it's natural that you'll throw a lot of caution to the wind and just do what you do, we've seen it in the past with players like Scrub and First, both paved the way for new levels of the game. As they grow and start to play competitively, the carefree approach has to be tempered and room made for risk management, team style etc. I haven't seen a prodigal 1's player, or player in general that hasn't had the edge taken off their game as they mature into their career, it just becomes consistently good enough to compete at the highest levels.
That said, if RLCS was full of players playing with the flow, speed and precision as Zen does today.... well, that would be .... something :)
Wanna see a Noly showmatch so bad soon
Now you guys HAVE to watch Jack's video on Zen
jack vs chronic rematch would be nice
I can already hear apparently jack say “that’s really annoying” 😂
WE NEED ZEN VS DARK!!!!
anyway you can add like an extra 10 minutes of something because the time always gives away the results
Jack always said Zen was a great player, for as long as I've followed his YT. And jack tbh does say that about many players, but he always talked about Zen like "you're gonna be surprised how good he is" and it's kinda cool how that prediciton came true.
Anyway, Jack hardly uploads 1s games anymore. It's sad because it feels like he's kinda traded 1s for 3s, but I kinda wish Jack returned to 1s grind at some point. Maybe he got bored of dominating 1s ranked for so damn long. I wonder if that's what happened to Fairy Peak as well, back in the day.
Yeah I feel like most goated 1’s players just get bored of the grind. Definitely has the least variation because it’s so kickoff dominant and is probably the most competitive too which causes burnout ig
If we reran the 1v1 World Cup final of France vs Saudi Arabia, and had Mawkzy, Zen, & Vatira for France, do you think they could've beaten Nwpo, Rw9 and trk for Saudi Arabia?
Zen hasnt beat anyone that won their last series 😹
gentlemen, we are gathered here today to celebrate the size of this W
Apart from the obvious Rw9,
I want to see Zen 1v1 OkhaliD or DrKnown. Zen would probably win, but I wanna see if that type of play is viable against the monster that is Zen.
EDIT: Or our lord and saviour Flakes would also be interesting to watch.
Only a week ago I was still under the impression that France's biggest prospect was Wenbenyama.
Either the whole "high altitude spy ballon"-story is a cover up and Zen is an alien who came to win terrestriaRL or this nerd wrote the code for an wavedashing airborn Nexto2.0-monster....
this shit is innnnnnnnsane.
i like how zen gets 4 kickoff goals and the french fanboys say EZ lmao
You should do NRG Justin vs Zen
Zen is him.
Himothy
What happened with Jack's air dribble bumps?
Dude's climbing the Blacklist like NFS Most Wanted
Who is next?
zen v dark would be so fun to watch
dark would get rolled, zen is just faster and dark is way more inconsistent. zen vs nwpo would be way closer and dark and nwpo have similar styles
mawkzy vs zen! we need it
I'm English, so it stings to say this, but the French are mastering RL rn. I wish it was us, but hey ho - maybe next year
RW9 is the 1’s king. Neither Gen G or Faze are French and they’ve been running 3’s.
@@chaelsonnen7947 very true
We need zen vs mawkzy!
Zen's air dribbling looks like it's TAS
im getting major Cars 3 vibes from this XD
Now Jack is going to train with Dark or smth and win the final race
I wanne see Zen in Octane.
I need Zen vs TRK and Yan Johnny please make it happen
yea maybe they'd be able to 2v1 him... xD
Zen vs Nwpo fastest 1v1vers 👀👀👀
Every other day someone gets on top
I have been away from competitive and esport for a long time now, is fairy peak still relevant in the 1s ?
He's still pretty good i'd say, better than in 3s at least. But it's hard to say cause he doesn't do showmatches atm he just plays ranked
wheres dan vs yanx?
I think we've reached the point where Rocket league pros may say
"Nah playing against this guy is just unfair"
oh my god im boutta end this arguement about plan b and pogos, so.
A pogo is a straight shot on goal and or when you bounce your car on the ground and the ball also bounces on the ground and after you keep on going with whatever you were doing. Thats a pogo
A plan B is a recovery. So if it goes straight in the net its a pogo if its used to recover from lets say a failed flip reset and the ball bounces ontop of your car and after you continue your freestyle. thats considered a plan b.
The shot is called a plan b, it doesn’t matter if its not actually a “plan b” its the name of the mechanic
I kinda scared about next split when this guy will play rlcs
This is terrifying
Can we Get Dark vs Zen?
You had that Jack 😢
Ggs
In a few splits we will see vatira and zen in one team mark my words it will happen
This basically happens when you move to NA, you lose to EU 1s players.
They only way to bring zen down. Is to call for the legend fairy peak!
Seeing him do that wavedash into a 180 to get scored on gave me hope. Even the best players make this same mistake 😅 1:56
YES
wild
Babies usually don't sleep that great.
But jokes a side, gotta say I love the EU vs NA stats. There's a ton of banter and hate in reddit against this comparison. But the convo about this issue is just out there and you cant argue with the numbers.
Zen vs Dark?
Zen I like your gameplay
Zen vs rw9
Zen vs dark?
Il l’a détruit vraiment c’est grave
Zen vs Nwpo, imagine.
so funny how twitch chat talks about zen keybounds when Dan has played like that forever
he doesnt tho?
What keybinds
@@nashh600 they dont use the same controls / binds whatever
Zen vs Yanxnz
Zen vs yanx
And now Jack against Vatira...🙄 😅
Not jacks best showing, but he's probably playing more 3v3 right now.
Okhalid used to play a controlled game style, or at least this is what i felt watching him play. The game progressed based on what he was doing, he dictated the pace, the style…
Zen just going full zend it on everybody.
Please make Zen vs Vatira happen. Please.
zen vs trk and zen vs yanx
Zen vs Comm!
