Do Bronze players even exist anymore? This is the complicated and mysterious story of the lowest rank in Rocket League. What was once the starting point of a player's competitive journey has now been reduced to the point that it's almost as exclusive and rare as a Supersonic Legend. So why does the Rocket League ranking system seem to skip Bronze? And what does a Bronze lobby even look like in 2022? Is it all smurfs, bots or legitimate players? What makes a person actually fall to Bronze? With so many unanswered questions it seems the only way to really know for sure is to experience it for myself. Join me on this journey into the lowest ranks of Rocket League as I search for a Bronze player using Voice Chat and see what it's like to play in the bottom 1% of the playerbase.

youre awesome
if you use dubble jump twice and lean forwards w\gas you can gof fast without boost

Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?!
NEVER gonna happen!!!!!
He may be bronze, but he's having more fun than us. So who's the real winner.
DUDE thats exactly what i was thinking lol
Me i would beat his bum by 25
Fact
True
Me when i get champ rewards
Spinach: "so there's this thing where you can destroy the other cars..."
Sledge: "Yeah I'm slightly familiar with that"
Lmao one of many great quotes
Sledge: i think i know a thing or two about that
Why? Why is sledge known for demos?
@@toxicyasuo2897 way back in the day that's how this channel started. Demolition/Salty Chat montages and then tutorials. Currently I have almost 50k demolitions.
@@Rocket_Sledge oh shit
Guy found the most polite and chill eleven-year-old kid he could ever hope for
Man holy shit, Spinach was so wholesome lmao. Had me smiling through the whole interview. Seems like he’s just having a lot of fun, not trying to take it too serious or being toxic
still in his prime childhood years
*David Attenborough voice* "Here, we see the elusive, Bronze Player. They once were a thriving population but, with continual updates they have nearly gone extinct. Today we will glance at these magnificent creatures to reminisce of a simpler time and perhaps, learn a little more about ourselves."
Nice
"Recent conservation efforts however, are starting to have an effect. As the player base moves on to greener fields, the untouched plains of the lowlands are beginning to rejuvenate"
Why does this sound like history and science or something but it's interesting
That’s so funny i’ve watched david attenborough at school 🤣
I am a bronze
We should start calling front flips without dodge "Spinach flip"
Lol that's great
yes please
I'm going to start calling it that, lets make this kid famous :D
I second the motion
I'm sometimes Spinach flipping on purpose... It looks so.... elegant in that slow motion :D
He plays like a Bronze, but has a the mentality of a Diamond at least. What a nice kid. If everyone who played Rocket League was like him, what a wonderful community we would have.
No diamonds dont have a good reputation
he does not have a diamond mentality lmfao and thats a good thing fuck diamonds
Man that takes me back to 2015.
Driving around with the lawnmower boost, with the camera way to close to the car, watching streams while ballchasing and a time where freestyling was just air rolling and hitting the ball. So much fun watching this game grow over the years and going from casual to a real competetive scene.
I thought they got rid of anything below gold. I just found out Silver existed when I saw my brother playing on PS5. Instinctually it was also hard to believe there was a lower tier of players than Gold when I've seen them.
Spinach seems like he has a good head on his shoulders, parents did well. Also I love how he is practicing his front flipping to try to gain speed, but is slowing him down right now. Hopefully we can get an update on how Spinach has progressed sometime in the future!
Agreed. This kid seems like a cool guy. Even if he is bronze, he's a bettering player than most when it comes to staying calm.
that’s actually genius, get a pro coach to coach a REAL bronze and see what happens after a month, especially considering this kid will be on summer break
he's so funny.
He sounds smarter than me
we need teammates like him...
That Spinach interview was the most wholesome unscripted content I've ever heard online. Spinach seems like a nice lad but what really struck me is how kind snd generous you were when talking to him.
There are toxic players; its great to see some detox too!
He'll need a detox from spinach for sure
"I found it to be an enjoyable experience"
Rocket League has a lot of nice players as well.
Hate it when people online only focus on the toxic minority
he is currently at the state of caring about gaming more than pussy. soon he will have to make a choice, chase getting better at gaming or chase pussy.
@@yipperdeyipnah, it isn’t the minority
The fact that the Bronze actually hold the Rule 1 is mindblowing, I never thoung that I would ever see that!
Props to this guy!
I am so absolutely bad at this game but I desperately want to enjoy it because it really does seem fun. I just can't get over the absolute frustration of barely missing the ball or flipping like crazy all over the place.
Worry less about being the best and focus more on laughing about those moments. It doesn't get "more fun" the better you get... sure does get more toxic though. Enjoy being "bad", those were some of my most fun times in Rocket League!
Same, bro. Same. I felt like I couldn't be worse than anyone. I kept playing with easy AI offline, which I enjoyed. Here you can score (and win) just by doing the kickoff right! Then leave the defence to your AI mates. At the lowest two difficulty levels, you will mostly win. I am shit at this game, but I still have fun doing this, lol
What a wholesome kid
"I'm working on it"
"It was a very enjoyable experience"
"A lot of emotion and motion"
A lot of emotion an motion is a motto to live by
@@Dekross sounds like a bootleg Fast and Furious
Seriously sounds like a great dude
You're not lyin' (lion)!
Least favo
rite thing in the game "loosing a game"
"Some people at this rank are animals"
"you're not LION, that was a pun... not intended one"
that was a big brain joke
10:40
I think a lot of people are gonna miss this one... very big brain indeed.
Ngl that went right over my head 😂
OMG AM I STUPID wtf
I thought he was just mumbling nonsense to break the silence and because playing and talking at the same time is hard, but it turns out I am the fool with negative 100 IQ
damn and here I was thinking he didnt make sense , sorry Spinach
Dude I didn’t get the joke till I read this comment lol .. I’m dying
I started playing RL yesterday and a friend who's got 2,000 hours in the game was coaching me through the basics. I decided to try my hand at competitive last night and in my placement matches, I played against two Bronze 1 players and he went "Holy shit I've never seen Bronze 1 before, they had to have deranked themselves or something"
It's always the kids in games that end up bringing internet people together with wholesome vibes and encouragement for them. Always the kids. I mean, some kids definitely do the opposite, but in terms of people in games who bring the viewers together, most of them are kids. They're honest, real and hold the right priorities where it counts for real.
Thanks spinach, you're an inspiration to me, I feel like we can learn from you, and apply your attitude to not just games, but life in general as well.
That kid is wholesome lmao hes explaining concepts to you like its a new game having no idea people dedicate their lives to this and put 1000s of hours in
5500 here
sheesh dude i thought my 3600 was impressive rank?
@@ZoneGlazed
Spinach is such a nice kid. Hope he enjoys his time with Rocket League. Great Video :)
😡 Dinkleeebeeeeeerg 😡
😂😂😂😂😂
I play this fairly regularly with a couple of friends. We’re around 40! We struggle to get out of bronze.
As long as you are having fun! Though if you are truly bronze I might be interested in having you help me with a video in the future. Let me know.
Bronze is honestly so wholesome. There's a lot of really feelgood stuff on this game. I taught my nephew how to play this when he was 7 and he loved it and got better over time.
Spinach’s single jump front flips are amazing.
For real bro 😂 its so fun to watch

Those are fakes, probably, not.
This reminds me of a kid that I met while I was streaming. He was just a genuine kid who was just having fun on the game and looking for people to queue up with.
Also reminds me of my two kids who also play (10 and 7). While I’m focused on getting out of Silver on 3v3 and reaching Plat on 2v2, my kids are more interested in customizing their cars (and waiting to hit 30 so I can trade my Rocket Pass cosmetics with them), and just having fun playing a few matches.
This is great content and I’m really glad I stumbled upon this. Makes me rethink my focus on my rank and now I just want to have fun on RL again. Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
This was incredibly wholesome. Like it made me really happy :) nothing against chasing ranks-but pure fun is so important and so hard to come buy sometimes in competitive games
I think it's both funny and adorable how spinach is bronze and young but still has the wisdom to be able to teach high ranks what to do during the toxic moments. Man's really showing you guys up
This video is SO much more wholesome than I expected it to be. I hope Spinach stays true to his game and doesn't fall in the the pit of despair when it comes to RL toxicity. "haha you're not, lyin'...that pun was unintentional, btw" has me in tears. 10/10 vid
Yeah, that threw me. 11 years old? Nah. This is a 40 year old trapped in an 11 yea old body. Lol
I've been playing rocket league for about 3 or 4 days now, I'm addicted to this game, I actually didn't even know there were "rankings" or anything like that, I'm really having a great time.
Yo this was way more wholesome and enjoyable than I expected. Shoutout to Sledge and Spinach!
I didn't expect to get emotional watching this video, but man hearing that bronze lobbies just don't forfeit at all made me smile like an idiot. I hope spinach keep enjoying the game, he's such a good kid. I also hope big daddy dove (great name) the same, 1k+ games every season is insane.
Brilliant video sledge, can't wait for you to get a "Spinach's 9th Friend" in-game title.
Right? There's something wholesome and pure about that unwavering persistence. That "brave the storm" way of playing definitely ceases to exist as you rank up.
@@BrucifyMe Exactly. A lot of people commented suggesting to coach spinach to higher rank, but honestly I think we should just let him be. He's having fun with the game in his own way, so just let him be unless he said he really wants to rank up.
i think it’s cuz they don’t know how yet not to burst your bubble
@@randomboii9166 lmao this is actually a fair point. Very possible a good few of them don't
omg it happened the same to me. Got all emotional when Spinach started saying that he had 8 friends already, or that he really likes to make his car looks funny and stupid.
I’ve been trying to get my dad into rocket league recently and he’s currently in Bronze, so I’ve been able to see what it’s like in Bronze nowadays with my very own eyes. There’s probably as many own goals as there are regular goals. Sometimes my dad misses kickoff completely even though all he does is boost to the ball. He will also occasionally drive up to the ceiling on and start spinning out of control. He doesn’t attempt flips often, but when he does, it’s usually single jump flips. At some point, I found out that he didn’t know how to double jump. There was another time he got into a Rule 1 with a teammate. He does not know about Rule 1 but he still didn’t break it because he didn’t know how to back up. He plays as if he’s never played a video game in his life before, even though he’s beaten Elden Ring.
In most competitive games I’ve seen, there was usually at least one person who went AFK or left the game for no reason. My dad actually won his first placement match because the whole team left in under a minute. I’ve seen smurfs in casual but I don’t think I’ve seen one in competitive yet. Forfeiting is not common, but it does happen. I’ve also seen a 1v1 go to a 0-0 OT, which is something that didn’t think I’d ever see.
In all, Bronze is a train wreck, but it’s a beautiful train wreck.
I actually laughed out loud at the fact that he's beaten Elden Ring but can't drive in a straight line. But hey, if he's having fun, so be it.
This story reminds me of how I got my dad playing Fortnite.
@@Zel-Veraan SAME SAME
Nice story, but I don’t think there is such thing as a smurf in casual since it’s cas lol
"he plays as if hes never played a video game before"
my gf has 300k points on nami, is gold in league, and is exactly like that with games like red dead and assassins creed. goes complete monkey ooga booga brain mode its so funny
btw we're currently on elden ring and im stuck on magrid or wtv
That kid is so precious this is legitimately the best rocket league content I've watched in my life someone please send him a billion credits
Ooo I’ll send him something alright
This was incredible. Really what my heart needed. Thanks Sledge and Spinach!
How on earth did this kid hit the mark perfectly on the video concept? Like down to how he would get flamed as a NatGeo doc. And why is this kid so well spoken? What is HAPPENING
I've been waiting for people to tell me I faked this because he was so perfect and well spoken.
@@Rocket_Sledge you just created an obligation to take this young prodigy as far as he can go!!! Pro@15!!
Lol. I was thinking to myself this kid is sharp. Even picks up his unintentional "you ain't lyin' " pun.
This is rocket league
Sounds like a kid who is to himself and thinks a lot in his head. He's going to be a great person
I remember silver actually meaning something when you “earned” it.
Oh! I recognize that account!
Good times
I remember when your rank rewards were the rank you ended the season at not by unlocking reward levels.
I missed out on the rising star trail thanks to losing rising star like a week before season ended.
@@RetTheEditor I still look at my Prospect and Challenger rewards with disdain for this very reason
@@marriedtwogaming I am eternal prospect elite ✊😔
I have so many great memories of my nephew growing up, getting better, learning to trade when I'm not there. It's an amazing game. Also Spinach is a beast! Awesome kid.
The most fun I ever had in rocket league is honestly when I first got the game back in 2016. Just sitting back, chilling with a few good friends and running at the ball any chance we got. Don’t get me wrong RL is still a really enjoyable game but playing comp at GC2 level makes the game feel like a chore even in casual. Still a great game though, and an even better video Sledge 😄
even tho its a bit silly and people on the internet dont really practice it much i really appreciate how careful and patient you were with your questions and stuff, that's some real journalistic talent, also a great video
Thank you!
Sledge goes in genuine dad mode here, it's so wholesome. It makes talking to kids so much easier, when you have some yourself.
He did remind me a lot of Noah. Including his use of some bigger words.
What a charming young man. Some real maturity from someone so young to be aware of his anger when playing. Good for him.
And after you say that there are animals down in this rank he says "You're not lion" hahahahaha
I was way smarter then him when i was 10
This video just popped up on my feed... this has to be the most wholesome thing I've ever seen online.
I'd love to see you coach this kid and try to get him to silver or even gold. Great personality for an 11 year old for sure.
Im also 11 but i really envy this guy, he seems so nice and positive and doesn't rage. Even though im c2 in Rocket League i really wish i had a better attitude when i lose.

that was a wholesome interview and spinach seems to be a really smart kid, i loved this video
I’m pretty much brand new to rocket league. I’ve played sideswipe, but I have exactly no skill in the real game. My brother and I join lobbies together and it’s nothing but chaos. Often times, playing with other bronze players is really fun. It brings out the best in the game, even if we know next to nothing.
Didn't know quite what to expect, but this was legitimately interesting and wholesome. It's easy to forget that some people treat RL like any other game and are just having fun figuring it all out. That said I'd gladly take Spinach over half the platinum teammates I've solo queued with any day, as he didn't bail the nanosecond you were down one goal.
the bailing when down a goal is actually so bad now, it's gotten to a point where I've had teammates vote ff on tied/winning games because they didn't like something I did, and then watched them turn the match into a 3v1, not even like they played bad, but full on joined the other team's rotation to attack our net
The frequency of how often that happens astounds me. It worries me a little too. I'm an old geezer of 57, a Gold III solo cue 3v3 player, so almost all my tm8's and opponents are kids by comparison. The level of "quit" in some of these kids scares me. Have they never fought for a comeback? Do they quit on things that matter in life as easily as they quit on a video game that doesn't matter? I hope not. As a kid I played a LOT of pickup football, hockey, baseball, basketball games. There were one or two kids in the neighborhood who would more or less quit when things got tough. To me that made the game interesting - now there was something to overcome. And if your opponent was the "quitter", you knew where to go with the next play...and you knew whom you never wanted on your team. And speaking from experience, the quitter attitude - that translates fully into real life issues later on.
Want to know the secret to ranking up? Here it is. Make sure your team scores first. If you can go up 2-0, even though there is 4:30 remaining in the game, you can rest assured that at least one player wants to FF.
@@moosewhizzerdave2066 I agree with you, for me it makes me even more up for it having to make a comeback. Being down 2-0 with 4 minutes left on the clock is not the time to panic, my mindset is that there’s plenty of time.
yeah it's too bad once you get into the higher ranks it's not as fun, plat is gross you make a mistake and they are on you like your some SSL player, i'm in plat without getting sweaty cause that's my skill level naturally and if they are too i'm sure they miss. it makes me a bit tilted.
@@tedjovel1876 I played four games this afternoon. Game 1 - player bailed when we were down 2-0 with about 4 minutes left. Game 2 - player was DOA, never started, so it was a 2v3 the entire game. Game 3 - player bailed right off the bat, then returned, we won. I assume he returned because of a warning note he saw when he bailed, because his ping was fine. Game 4 - player was DOA, never started, he bailed immediately, another 2v3. I had enough at that point. I always have a season of 3v3 going with bots offline, so I played a game of that and turned off the X-Box. The bots stink, but they don't quit and they don't complain.....
This was the point when I had the most fun. Everyone was excited if either team got a goal or save.
Exactly! These guys are having their best time!
@@Rocket_Sledge Definition of ignorance is bliss.
I was bronze in november 2021 and me and my friend had a silver 3 level but we met SO MANY SMURFS we got thrashed 11-0 nill multiple times i saw flip resets, speed flips, musty filcks, and so many mechanichs that no bronze can do
Omg I almost got emotional when he started talking about how he found the game, after he talked about his friend count. So wholesome. I hope the internet/life doesn't beat him down too bad 😢
Came for the facts, stayed for Spinach. Keep on playing, and don't let anyone's rage get to you. You're already a master of the game while others are still trying to figure out how to do what you do. Never lose sight of the goal.... Having fun!
This really gives you perspective. I’m over here dunking on myself for bad positioning or missing hard saves in D3. This kid is like, “I’m just trying to get a aerial goal and executions.”.
Thanks for the reminder to have fun, man.
I realize the higher my league the more stressful and harsh people are literally every game has someone with the mic unmuted talking about how bad our team is playing
I love that he's telling you about demos. Clearly had no idea who he was talking to. But Spinach seems like a cool kid. I wish him all the luck.
Why did you say your borrowing an account, when you're just playing on your main?🤔
I think I can picture exactly what Big Daddy Dove looks like just from his car design.
Also, how did you resist telling Spinach how many exterms you had? Would've blown his mind!
I did tell him! But I dont think he actually understood what I was saying and I cut it from the video.
"we'll be watching your career with great interest"
The shade on big daddy dave
This vid had me like the wolf on Wall Street "I ain't Fn leaving" and subbed
Thank you!
Great kid tbh awsome you do this and interact with everyone and anyone so humbly its cool to watch 🤙🏽 bless up brother🙏
Week one OG player here, and this video really put things into perspective. It's so easy to get tilted in this game, it's usually why I quit for a week or longer at a time, but this kid personifies why we all started playing. It was just fun. We didn't skip replays, there were probably more own goals than on purposed offensive ones, and no one was quick chatting. Thanks Spinach.

The only bronze players I know are my young nephew, and my buddy's father. I feel as though bronze players likely fall under those two categories. A young player, or a 50+ year old player.

I remember being bronze. I felt so helpless. I'm gc now with 4k hours. Smurfs made me want to become good enough to smurf. All my friends were d3 I thought they were so good. I'm better than all of them now. After being obsessed for 3 years I can say there is still always someone better than you.
its kind of sad getting better than everyone youve started to play with. i have a few friends and a brother who are in the diamond-champ range, i wish i wouldve just chilled out and played the game casually so i didnt surpass them by so much. having people to play with is by far the best part of this game, and i think many people overlook that
Thanks for being kind to the kid. Really touching actually
I remember when I started getting better at the game. It was fun to improve and make crazy plays, but looking back the game definitely got less fun after plat. The zaniness and increased heartrate in overtime definitely fell off

It’s a bit random but is it possible if u could train me? My goal is to reach ssl / rlcs pro lvl mechanics and game sense. My two friends and I wanna make a team eventually, Yagi. Plz consider it i think it would be a big help for me if u do tho my epic name is Goater-Kensei

Keep up the good work, you have probably the best and most mature audience from all the Rocket League content creators! When I watch your videos I dont feel like wasting my time, but I feel like chilling and being entertained (something that I cant say about gaming as a whole). You inspired me from before I started playing rocket league till I quit the game 3 years after and you are still my favorite gaming content creator! Thank you!
Thank you! Unfortunately "most mature audience" is not a recipe for major success on this platform! But I pride myself in trying to stand out as a bit different and in my own lane. Appreciate you continuing to watch!
@@Rocket_Sledge Ye, the platform is kinda bad if you want to make actual quality content, the amount of young audience that has too much free time is wayy bigger in percentage than the mature one, therefore the people who get the most success are the ones who make videos aimed at that audience the most, that's why I barely watch gaming videos anymore. Thats also why I admire your editing style and the way you make your videos, you make them super interesting and people of all ages enjoy them!
imagine seeing him in the competitive scene in a few years. would be mind-blowing
I relate to him😢.I may be a low ranked player and i agree with him,being a low ranked player and playing the game itself is very fun.ITS ALL CHAOS🔥
What i find crazy is this guy in a few years if he keeps at it will be a good player, would be cool for him to use this to lookback at, wish i had my first few hours on rocket league are duly missed
I started playing when season 5 first began. I was bronze when the season ended. Now with season 6 ending off soon, I'm a silver. It felt like I've grown and understand the game a bit more. Now with season 7, I'm hoping for gold or higher
Spend silver and gold learning the game. Just like Sledge said, new players get dumped in those ranks so you could get people with skills from plat who've deranked, or total noobs on your team. Just have fun, and learn for each game you play as you build muscle memory for what works and what doesn't.
that's the mindset to have, man. i used to relate now im working on diamond. good luck!
I started in season 2 and I was improving about your pace and now I am diamond 2, so just keep practicing and having fun and you'll get there!
No matter the rank, the growth mindset is the best thing to possess. Even in my currently GC2 2v2 games, my mindset is still growing my skills to equal that of SSLs. Reminding myself of this constantly helps my mental
Yeah, good luck, I'm gold and started playing properly in season 5, but mainly in lower ranks just enjoy playing the game :)
Did you ever let Spinach know about the double jump feature? It was very funny to watch him do manual front air rolls after jumping once everytime lmfao
I used to be fairly decent wining most matches but after it became ftp and suddenly everything built of for (that being cars trails and explosions) new players could almost immediately get and now trying to get back in I'm suddenly terrible again and I don't want to go through all the trouble of building that skill back
This is exactly who I thought would be in bronze. My son is in bronze, he's 7. He is happy just to make a cool play or two over the course of the game, but doesn't really care about the rank. I'm not sure he even understands it.
The most wholesome experiences I've had in RL was back before F2P and I was still in Gold. Better players would give encouragements and helpful tips to improve my game.
I started playing in Season2 Free to play... after placements I was silver, but I deranged really quickly to bronze... after a whole season struggling, I reached Silver 3... in Season 3 I reached Plat 1 and now I am dia1-3... I don’t play that often and only for fun.
Ok
Only play for fun, or rocket league will consume you in the future, trust me :)
What the how, dude?! I started in S1 of free to play and for three whole seasons was stuck in silver. I dropped the game for six months out of an inability to escape Silver II.
@@Zel-Veraan i had that feeling too... I just watched a lot of TH-cam videos and played a lot of free play... i coached a few of my friends... one got after placements gold and now hes plat, one was stuck in plat and I helped him reach champ 1... lol
@@Zel-Veraan Sometimes you need gaming background in the area, i ranked up at first to gold 3 div 4 my first season I suppose because before rocket league I used to play a ton of need for speed, so I already kinda knew how to drive a car using a controller
Sounds like the most chill kid to play rocket league hope he can get better and work up the ranks
What a charming interaction. It's refreshing to see someone be respectful instead of making a toxic video that's only meant to degrade lesser players.
i love people who are bad at games. they're bottom 1% but that means they have more fun than 99% of players
This is probably true!
People don't have to know what rule 1 is to stay in it. My first rule 1 (my friends and I called it the gentlemans agreement because we didn't know there was a name already) started because I got stuck on the other car and just thought it was hilarious that the other dude wasn't backing down, so I didn't either. My teammates flamed me for it, but its not my fault they couldn't win the 2v2...
That was the other point I would have brought up (but would have made my joke to wordy) Rule 1 just comes naturally, that's how it started after all.
I feel bad when my opponent honors a rule 1 and then immediately gets scored on
players who play a lot of games but don't seem to get any better usually play VERY casually. Like hotbox your bedroom and barely remember what you are doing casually.
