@@octanewhale7542 you say that and you might be right about him being on vit, but you find a pair of twos players with high pro level defensive positioning and put him on a team like that and they'd be unstoppable and I'm sure someone would see that
@@alessiosandro123 he missed a lot of goals but that's normal, no one makes every shot they take, especially playing in the highest lobbies you can possibly reach
Things that stood out about his gameplay throughout the vid: He covers so much ground. He not only has defensive recoveries, but he has offensive recoveries that get him closer to the play or give him another opportunity to score. He never really left a teammate in a 1v2, he's so quick to get back to midfield and force for his teammate. He has insane jump and dodge control. He can hold his jumps longer to cover more distance, but he can also wavedash and walldash super quick (also helps with getting more opportunities, winning more 50s, being more unpredictable by changing pace of play). He's always looking for a play to help his teammate if he wins the 1v1 defensive scenario. (positioning upfield where the ball will go, stealing their corner or mid boost, bumping/demoing) He will literally boom the ball away on purpose (very occasionally) because he knows that whatever touch they get, they can't relieve the offensive pressure that comes from it. It's almost as if this guy doesn't lose a 50. He always reads the best angles the ball can go and sometimes he lines up sideways to make his hitbox as wide as possible. Theres a lot more and I can't believe how much we can all learn from this dude.
Bro that first goal was exactly like TRK's wall pinch against moist at last season's spring major, same angle, same map, same shot. Also the fact that he's playing with okhalid makes it quite ironic, too
@@SHISH_STYLE i would argue that the main difference between you and zen is that he does it more clean and he does it in a better moment. Else you wouldnt be champ
That reverse half flip at 17:53 is incredible. Now i know what's best to do in these situations, and i'll never pull it off in the decisive split second haha.
The most important thing i learned by watching him is how he handles the balance between speed and space when he dont have the ball. Im way too focus on respecting a certain amount of security space when my teammate is "player 1" in the rotation, but i need to space in supersonic and be a bit distant so i can react quick. Amazing lesson
you probably already know but just for future reference, instead of referring to your teammate as “player 1” its more commonly referred to 1st man, 2nd man, and 3 man (if you’re playing 3s respecticely) just sayin :p
Also the drift at 4:55 like...I don't think I've ever seen people drift so seamlessly like that on this game. Drifting has always felt different in rocket league then racing games for example but zen makes it look like he can do anything with the car lmfao
just wanted to say the way you broke down Zen's introduction into RL with the text right above the name was perfect. You definitely didn't bore me with text, it was nicely both out of sight and interesting to read if you did pay attention to it.
Hey, awesome to hear that! You've perfectly described what I wanted to achieve: not being distracting if you aren't interested in them and providing some interesting facts about the player if you are 👌
16:15 EVEN THE BEST RL PLAYER IN THE WORLD WILL ATTACK THE BALL AS LAST DEFENDER BEFORE HIS TMATE ROTATES BACK. tip: If you are the last defender (closest to net to defend) Do not push up to attack the ball when the opponent has possession before your tmate has time to rotate back to defend the net since you are now leaving the net open completely. It's not worth whiffing the ball and giving a point. This 1 mistake that Zen ( AND MOST OF MY TEAMMATES) made cost them the game. He shouldn't have RUSHED straight at the ball when fairy peak had a controlled dribble.
Any one of this kid’s attributes is superhuman by itself: mechanics, game sense, teamwork, adaptability, not to mention PURE SPEED… the way he can wall-dash and reach supersonic within half a second on zero boost without fail, this man can be anywhere… it’s truly unfair to be this skilled in the game at any level. Truly inspirational player. Can’t wait to see what his future holds!! ❤
Sure. When I do this, I get yelled at to stop ballchasing. I'm glad he doesn't have to slow his game down to let others get opportunity... he just takes over. Well done.
in that 3rd match was zens team8 holding him back so much, ive seen so many missed opportunity's and missed touches. also his team8 had such big ego for taking the boost and ball away from him

four left passenger side wheels somehow
oh wait im thinkin everyones fromk the USA silly me

1:06 sick pre jump, wall recovery into ground pinch. 😮
This whole play with only 68 boost too
I knew someone was going to comment this timestamp as soon as I saw it. I’m like, damn, Zen! My jaw dropped. That whole play was unreal.
@@SpenSahDude same bro I was like wtf there's no way I just watched that
Bro was smurfing in the first game
Straight torched them
It was a rank match are you dumb?
Literally
You mean all games
He doesn't smurf.
Zen is the only player who can smurf in pro lobbies

This is insane. it’s like he’s in his own league, amongst pros. He hitting nutty stuff on the regular; letting this man cook is dangerous.
a year ahead from other pros plus youngest one.

Zen didn't enter GODMODE, he is always in it.
How I think I play: 4:30
How I play: 5:59
Lmfaoooo frrr
🤣🤣🤣
Using his opponents car to score the last goal is crazy 12:00
0:48 OMG I could NEVER do this! He is GOD!
That overcorrection at 3:15 into a delayed rear-bumper snipe was fucking crazy.
3:14 ridiculous shot
Ending of match 2 was insane
FOR REAL! I said Jesus Christ out loud
The insta goal at 4:30 was so nasty. He legit just cuts off his teammate and hits a fuckin 100mph ceiling pinch double tap 😂😭😭

5:37 What a Save!
bro first goal... This pinch was insane
seems like the ground to air dribble > ceiling pinch > doubletap is his favorite shot
His challenges are brutal
Ses pré jump en défense sont toujours beau à voir
That goal at 12:00 is incredibly disrepectfull
23:52 how did he read him?? Did he really jump because he knew he was gonna demo??? Naw that's too much
I do this all the time, you can usually hear them coming for you (car engine sound getting louder and directional audio), plus a bit of game sense.
The consistency of mechanics is just insane
Tbh at 8:42 we all felt that one..
His pinches and re-directs are insane
What every ball chaser thinks they can play like however is no where near
Bro the last goal he scored in the 2nd match was dumb. Man literally got demoed and still somehow scored. Craziest pro rn
-narrator : "Zen has earned himself a significant reputation in the rocket league community"...
-Zen proceeds to hit a no bounce Kuxir pinch
So fast so precise always a step ahead. Amazing
the entire field is just his playground
His control is so nutty what did I just watch
Zen is so consistent it's actually crazy and he reads like he seen the future
3:28 thats "Shadow OFFENSE" XD
The control and movement is what makes him so unreal. Fucking insane.
This man has OUSHOKU NO HAKI, he's reading the future
The 5th goal is crazy
Guaranteed he'd do all this in diamond and a teammate will tell him to stop ball chasing
this is why i love my glorious zen. He so fast
Acron & Fairy Peak! Went HARD
Love it! Always setting the ceiling higher
Sure. When I do this, I get yelled at to stop ballchasing. I'm glad he doesn't have to slow his game down to let others get opportunity... he just takes over. Well done.
"When I do this" Kappa
You get the right to do this if you're gonna score. Don't ball chase and keep missing.
Bro can't even stand one second still
How did it not end the game at 12:00. I swear it hit the ground
Apparently Zen was fast enough to catch up.. pretty nasty goal at the end there 👀
Some would say he has control of his car. Some would say he is one with his car. I’d say zen is literally his car
bro that zen okhalid duo is wild
Zen doesn’t go into god mode, god goes into zen mode
They should use your interface for RLCS it’s so clean
🔁
Haha ❤️
"what's zen doing? he missed" *scores*
lil bro is just 4 moves ahead while everybody else is focusing on what's going to happen next
3:14 air dribble fake into pogo?!?!?
the SPEED with which i would rage quit...
Bro's singature shot is a ceiling pinch to double every single time.
this guy is on his own fucking league holy shit, insane
zen in the first game is how dark thinks he looks while playing lol
he good asf .plays like its a 1v2 barely looks at team8
Bro has no mercy.
Feel like I’ve already seen that first replay
Ok Ive definitely seen the first replay
I think they're reposting some of Zen's replays because they got taken down by TH-cam.
Every goal is a work of art 😢
Bro ain’t no way 1:05
These pros should find a tutorial on how to beat zen
in that 3rd match was zens team8 holding him back so much, ive seen so many missed opportunity's and missed touches. also his team8 had such big ego for taking the boost and ball away from him
lol i said the same thing
if the kungfu style of drunken monkey was applied to RL, this would be it. its incredible to watch to control
this is absolutely incredible
Game 1 that 3rd goal had me baffled
I allways fly like I see in this video. But I fly beyond the ball into the wall.
You should try hitting the ball instead!
How do you get your mechanics to be so good? Like how long do you have to play to get this good
Zen is a god I wish I was like him
Is this some kind of replay overlay? Or can you get UI mods?

It seems like his car moves much faster and smoother
the ending of match 2 !!! Like wtf
2:50 Proof that even zen misses open nets. :)
i mean it's just proof he misses boost, because he had 0 and it wasn't open after that
5:58 késké se ça ????
He's playing RL with Mastered Ultra Insting.
Zen is not going into god mode he IS GOD MOD
Damn zen and okhalid
insane reads/pre-jumps. Gets me so hyped up to go play some RL but as soon as the game starts the clown music starts playing in my head :/
