-plays rl after barely doing so for a long time -challenges mechanical beast -beats him -destroys him -gives him money -refuses to elaborate -leaves Flakes is truly a 1v1 legend
You know when an ex-pro mentions that they play “barely any” rocket league as opposed to before, that means they’re still playing rocket league for hours every day, just not the usual 8+ hours they’re used to.
@@chubbser3231 dude had maybe 10 hours every two weeks with some not touching RL at all. He's been kinda back recently, but he was pretty much gone for a long time
@@iXsleazyy Agree with you bro, being mechanical=enjoy more the game and every mechanical player is smart. Flakes must improve his gameplay, he is just scoring disgusting goals.
Did you just say dark is bad? 😤 Wow delusion levels over 9000... The guy is only 15 or younger and he gives pros a run for their money, meanwhile known as the pogo king. Flakes on the other hand invented his own style of 1s and mastered it years ago and it's still working today despite taking a break. It doesn't show dark is bad it shows logic e = ursobadandprobablyplat.
15:25 vBanner in chat "Dark is freestyling LOL flakes just scores his fails yall trippin" Over the next 20 seconds, Flakes SHATTERS Dark's ankles worse than I've ever seen happen to anyone... twice.
i love these mechanical 1s players but their fans are so annoying and basically thinks if u have mechanics ur the best, these guys need to take off those oem wheels and try something new
Not to dishearten you but Flakes is mechanical, he's just grounded and has a modest playstyle. Consistent double flip resets, flip resets into musty flicks, ceiling shot musty's, accurate pre-flips and into flip resets are all part of his arsenal. His mechanical abilities are underrated.
@@kovugreen So true; of course Flakes' mental game is fantastic, but that combined with his great micro - mechanical ability makes him as efficient as he is.
@@worstpianist3985 Yeah I can see how people assume he doesn't have any mechs when you judge from his ''road to ssl with no mechanics'' and also his playstyle. Last time I saw him play was from his twitch as well as somebody else's channel. He hit each triple flip reset he went for, got a reset into a musty double touch and got a pogo. He obviously isn't S-tier as those players have a higher consistency and creativity within the moment, but he ain't no slouch.
Flakes playstyle is so provocative! He relies on his opponents mistakes to score meaning that his opponents would most likely underestimate what he can do and booom all of a sudden he pulls off a flick or outspeed you to a boost or some shit like that. I've learned a lot from Flakes about being patient and appreciate the ground plays but I gotta say I cheer to the pros who push the limits of the game like Dark.
Everybody relies on opponents to make a mistake. If no opposition made a mistake the game would be drawn 0-0. The game is about who is better at punishing the others mistakes. The better punisher wins. Simple.
I find flakes playstyle so much more interesting than the super mechanical players, something so interesting about his incredible ground ball control. it feels like he's playing the game the way the developers intended
..disagree on the "how the developers intended" part, otherwise we wouldn't be able to boost in to the sky, etc.. it's just a few year old meta that he refuses to get out of. He's playing like it's 2017.. he could absolutely play in current RLCS if he would just get over his ego and adapt his playstyle to the modern ballchasey meta.
If you ever hear Flakes explain the game and his thoughts, you'll hear him say: "Let him touch the ball, because it doesn't do anything" a lot. At 35:30 you can see that he forces Dark to use up all of his boost to keep the ball from falling into Flakes' hands, but all it does is put him into an even worse situation, where he just leaves the ball in the midfield and has to back off to grab some pads. Flakes keeps doing the same until at 35:43 Dark finally gives away full possession. Edit: Also, imagine what Flakes could do if he actually gets consistent with his flicks or if he finds teammates who play the same way. RLCS would change completely.
You also know that flakes is insane with mechanics, can do multiple resets, can easily do doubles, can easily flick etc. I think that swtiching cars he messes up his flicks cause of their different hitboxes sometimes, or just a mistake of the moment, he usually is very consistent
Flakes was considered one of the best individual players in RLCS when he played it. But he couldn't find people back then that valued possession and ended up quitting. I think he was ahead of his time. While RLCS players are definitely more mechanical than him and probably faster (he didn't keep up and is getting "old"), I think the meta has pretty much shifted to a playstyle very similar to what he envisioned. I vaguely remember some NA pro (maybe Retals?) crediting Flakes with his/the team's playstyle on some podcast, maybe 2-3 years ago.
My 2 most anticipated players of 2023. Can't wait to see how they improve this year, assuming Flakes doesn't fall off the face of the earth for another 2 years lol
I'd LOVE to see a Fairy Peak vs Flakes showmatch. Would be like travelling back in time. Loved to see this, big brain 1v1ers are my favorite! Great showing from Dark too. Awesome match! :D
Flakes playstyle and discipline is always worth a watch. It’ll stand the test of time and for some reason always gets my hype. Looks so simple to replicate till you try it. Every move, 50, boost grab, touch is so precise. Awesome to watch against someone who’s gameplay is so drastically different.
Seriously. I’m C1/C2 and I’ve tried the flakes play style a few times. Never works because I don’t have the precise micro adjustments he makes. I end up just getting dunked
@@fabreasy304 yeah i tried it too, but the car control must be also very good to pull that of. But i still do it some times and worked on my dribble game to outplay enemys end it gets better. We have to work with what we can do constantly and train constancy with what we cant do
21:00 this is why I love knowing the game. It makes what flakes is doing here 100x beautiful. Normally dark would insta challenge him here, but flakes is in his head with the cuts so he backs off and gets scored on. GORGEOUS.
Someone in chat said "flakes can't do a reset to save his life" My guy hit the most casual double just chilling when Dark ff'd I find IQ plays better than mechanical a lot of times because they're just too filthy Mechanical shots are really good but beating your opponent while not doing anything yourself is the most efficient and cold thing you can do
37:15 the way that flakes just controls the entire field and makes dark look like a lost puppy is insane. respect to both of these guys, but it’s so refreshing to see someone just use old school mechanics and still dismantle a current top player.
Seriously… he’s such an inspiration. Watch his stream of this tourney he’s casually commentating his whole thought process mid game, literally doing a road to ssl series live while beating Dark in a 1v1. Insane. He’s the reason I’m D3 in like 350 hrs
Thank you feer. I needed a flakes match-up today. Dude is the literal embodiment of 'mastering the fundamentals' Edit: also I love the new thumbnails bro
I see a lot of people talk about how Flakes' playstyle is just about never challenging, which is not totally correct. It's more accurate to say that his playstyle is about control.
The thing is though, he can literally play how he wants. It’s up to the opponent to figure out a way around it and , if mechanics are what makes someone good , then surely the most mechanically gifted player right now would’ve won this matchup no doubt.
It's not that he isn't mechanical it's that he is a conservative player. No need for flip resets when you can use the fundamentals and just be a smart player. That's why people say he isn't mechanical, rather than relying on crazy shit he mostly uses the basics but to their highest level.
37:28 feel like this is an underrated moment. How the hell does he chase that down to powerslide all around it AND get the shot off on target with that much power?? Lethal.
This is my favorite match-up in months. Great experience for both of them I bet (they ought to do this more often), and insanely fun to watch. Grats all around.
What people don't here understand is that Flakes is smart but VERY VERY mechanical. IMO nothing is more mechanical than having 100% control over the fundamentals. Literally no one has better control of the fundamentals than Flakes. He aims his flicks so that they can imitate his powerslide cuts. I don't think people realize how much mastery this takes.
Thankfully that’s just your opinion on mechanics as a whole and no one else’s because it’s wrong in many ways. What you’re referring to is knowledge and overall game sense, a deep understanding of how the game flows.
@@anonymousbanana204 No, it's not. If you watched him beat FirstKiller during FK's peak, you'd understand. It's being able to string together the most basic mechanics and practicing that over and over. I'm a boxer and competition-level pianist. I understand the idea of fundamental mechanics. Flakes has excellent control and ability to string together the most basic functions of the game. But this isn't even worth arguing over and you're a year too late, so I'll agree to disagree.
So Dark beats Daniel but Flakes beats Dark. Interesting. It's exactly like Flakes road to SSL with minimal mechanics. Crazy how much of this is a mental game. Well played Flakes. That was a great class to watch.
i could hear flakes commentary... show respect.. parsley cut to the right.. parsley cut to the left..fake challenge.. single jump when defending.. it is not going in... he doesnot have boost left
Dark is inconsistent so it's impossible to tell if dark in this match could take down daniel. when he peaks he's unstoppable, when he's in a slump he looks stupid
Both of my favorite players right here. Super opposites in playstyle, and car choices. And I'm glad that Flakes can still hold it down. Much respect to him for giving the money to Dark, we all know Flakes acts like a sarcastic a**Shole, but dudes really nice.
I have never seen Evample do a single pogo in any of his videos in like the last year lol. He's a dope freestyler but I wouldn't be sure pogos are exactly his thing.
I jist watched most of Flake's "road to SSL with no mechs" series, and to see him put all of it into practice for real like this was just awesome! Considering his playstyle is based more on game sense than style points makes it a playstyle that even golds can best
I think a major part of flakes playstyle involves rather or not he starts in the lead, he then just bases his playstyle off of when the opponent attacks.
I love flakes’ playstyle. You can tell he has a background playing soccer (fútbol) by utilizing so many ground plays. Although aerial plays look flashy and “mechy”, overall, ground plays have more pros than cons. - Faster recoveries - # of options (fakes, cuts, 50s, flicks, pops, powershots, etc.) -boost consumption
I don't know if he actually played or watched soccer, did he? Would make sense, since he's dutch. Love his videos tho, his playstyle single handedly helped me improve my game 10x
I played using flakes play style and went from diamond 3 in 1s to gc1. In 3 days. I use to play very mechanically which causes me to loose possession of the ball and end up getting scored on.
Hes a excellent tip, you can play hyper mechanical only when you know you will need to lose possession or when the enemy team cant punish you. Maybe 75% flakes and 25% dark is the best way to play rocket league
This highlights the urgent need for Epic to include decent game iq tutorials rather than just telling you how to hit the ball. If they do that it'll also sort out their ranked problem to a large degree.
Amazing game! Awesome performances from both players. Been a Flakes fan for some time now. Gotta re watch his old 1v1 vids and get back on the grind myself. GG's
@@clows7590 I haven't been watching 1v1s as much as I used to, but it's true I swear I only ever see Dark lose and people are talking about how he's near top 10/5. His mechanics are insane sure, but wins is what put you at the top. Anyway, he's started recently maybe he just needs time to improve. I think DrKnown has more potential to become a top 1v1 player in time, but is 13 so he'll probably take a while still
Flakes looking like a modern fairy peak with the boost control and constant pressure. Only instead of firing at the back board he's just trying to juke you.
Whenever i see flakes playing, i think its disgusting and amazing at the same time. His playstyle makes we want to vommit all over my desk and sometimes i even shed some tears because i feel so bad for his gifted opponents. He is one of the few pro players i do not enjoy watching at all. Still much respect for him , he is obviously an insanely good player!
Bad flakes... very bad... You made kids cry by winning this, you could just give the slightest illusion of not having crushing superiority over dark. Flakes is love, Flakes is life
when you are alone, take care of your thoughts, when you are in a group, take care of your behavior, when you are angry, take care of your words, in challenges, take care of your emotions and in victory, take care of your ego
Flakes coming back to literally around 50 new mechanics/possibility’s and a generally more mechanical way of playing since when he consistently played last and still keeping up with the new prodigy’s is a level above insane
I love watching flakes play the lack of high lvl mechanics makes him look like he is playing in one of my lobbies but then he has phenomenal game sense that allows him to play and beat other pros even in 1v1s
I love to see dark playing, outstanding moves, really satisfying. But flakes man... flakes is just too good, if he never misses what he wanted to do and had a computer brain, I'd say he would be near perfect
-plays rl after barely doing so for a long time
-challenges mechanical beast

I could hear the "He is there, go back, grab boost, fake challenge" in the back of my head like a metronome lmao
Never clicked so fast for a matchup in my life haha
I think a major part of flakes playstyle involves rather or not he starts in the lead, he then just bases his playstyle off of when the opponent attacks.
Love watching Flakes' play style work at the highest level
I love flakes’ playstyle. You can tell he has a background playing soccer (fútbol) by utilizing so many ground plays. Although aerial plays look flashy and “mechy”, overall, ground plays have more pros than cons.
- Faster recoveries
- # of options (fakes, cuts, 50s, flicks, pops, powershots, etc.)
-boost consumption
I don't know if he actually played or watched soccer, did he? Would make sense, since he's dutch. Love his videos tho, his playstyle single handedly helped me improve my game 10x
I played using flakes play style and went from diamond 3 in 1s to gc1. In 3 days. I use to play very mechanically which causes me to loose possession of the ball and end up getting scored on.
Hes a excellent tip, you can play hyper mechanical only when you know you will need to lose possession or when the enemy team cant punish you.
Maybe 75% flakes and 25% dark is the best way to play rocket league
i love to see flakes show us how good a slow playstyle is even in this fast meta
34:16 if dark knew when to stop pushing setups that are off point like this, he'd be the best in the world
This highlights the urgent need for Epic to include decent game iq tutorials rather than just telling you how to hit the ball.
If they do that it'll also sort out their ranked problem to a large degree.
Amazing game! Awesome performances from both players. Been a Flakes fan for some time now. Gotta re watch his old 1v1 vids and get back on the grind myself. GG's
Flakes positioning and boost stealing is still the best in the game. Even after all these years. Simply ridiculous. Great games!
Dark has mastered flying but flakes has mastered steering
cringe
@@iXsleazyy next best streamer what a gimp 😂
@@MadRL ?
@@MadRL uu mad lol
@@iXsleazyy lmao I see u all over here defo mena player ridin dark hard atm 😂
30:45 was nuts dude
Both of these guys are insanely good. That was exhausting to watch lol
Flakes always been one of my favorite players since day one. Glad to see him take this one.
The fact that even after flakes won he still gave dark the money was just sheer kindness
Truly The Chad Of Rocket League
Flakes, and I say this with admiration, reminds me of an AI trained to only do what's the most efficient and lowest risk play.
Wasn't expecting that.
I was totally expecting flakes win, since Dark only take L's 😔
@@clows7590 I haven't been watching 1v1s as much as I used to, but it's true I swear I only ever see Dark lose and people are talking about how he's near top 10/5. His mechanics are insane sure, but wins is what put you at the top. Anyway, he's started recently maybe he just needs time to improve. I think DrKnown has more potential to become a top 1v1 player in time, but is 13 so he'll probably take a while still
I was, not cuz Dark is super bad, he's not, but because Flakes is insane with the mind games
Awesome thumbnail btw; showing Flakes strategizing and Dark being mechanical in one image without text is pretty cool!
Flakes looking like a modern fairy peak with the boost control and constant pressure. Only instead of firing at the back board he's just trying to juke you.
it's so funny how many people don't know flakes is a good player
Flakes is doing exactly what he does in Road to SSL with No Mechanics and it’s honestly amazing
14:50 he still got it bruh!
Your mom can't powerslide cut like flakes!
Flakes is A LEGEND. FUCK YES. LOVE THIS.
This is really cool watching these 2 play, very nice vid and very nice commentary!
I feel like flakes no-nonsense technique can outplay dark’s flashiness most of the time
Flakes was doing this to prove a point, if he wanted to use mechanics he would've
Whenever i see flakes playing, i think its disgusting and amazing at the same time. His playstyle makes we want to vommit all over my desk and sometimes i even shed some tears because i feel so bad for his gifted opponents. He is one of the few pro players i do not enjoy watching at all. Still much respect for him , he is obviously an insanely good player!
Lmao cry about it
People act like flakes saving the shot in game 3 with the respawn is like a super lucky 0.001% chance. Give the man some credit.
Feer sounds like Johnny boi without the accent
Bad flakes... very bad... You made kids cry by winning this, you could just give the slightest illusion of not having crushing superiority over dark. Flakes is love, Flakes is life
poggers
poggers indeed@@TehAnimationSparxx
when you are alone, take care of your thoughts, when you are in a group, take care of your behavior, when you are angry, take care of your words, in challenges, take care of your emotions and in victory, take care of your ego
flakes with the drip as usual
Sure the way Flakes plays isn't the most flashy, but damn is he consistent. And I appreciate anyone who doesn't use the same 3 cars
The matchup we all needed
what is dark(?)'s car design at 15:21 please someone tell me
Early FF. Still had so much time to turn it around.
flakes broke bro's brain
13:12 was a cool and creative touch
15:11 the first few goals from game 3 are 🔥🔥🔥🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
Love Flakes. Let's goooo
So fundamentally sound
nice gesture by Flakes, the world needs more guy like him ;)
Flakes coming back to literally around 50 new mechanics/possibility’s and a generally more mechanical way of playing since when he consistently played last and still keeping up with the new prodigy’s is a level above insane
"Winning a showmatch with no mechanics" Flakes is just too smart
literally my two favourite players of all time, I love to watch both of them
I love watching flakes play the lack of high lvl mechanics makes him look like he is playing in one of my lobbies but then he has phenomenal game sense that allows him to play and beat other pros even in 1v1s
Flakes is a bossfight for all the young gun 1's players
no hes an ai program
Definitely one of my favorite matchups!
I want more Flakes
love watching the dark fanboys rage for no reason
I love to see dark playing, outstanding moves, really satisfying. But flakes man... flakes is just too good, if he never misses what he wanted to do and had a computer brain, I'd say he would be near perfect
