The save at 10:11 is unbelievable. Dude preflipped while shadow-defending mid air and pinches the ball to save the double tap from being scored. Unreal
Yoo Johnny good vid here. I have a requested match for you. Zen vs Nwpo I think this will be interesting considering they both mechanically fast and really good offense with similar stories to them. Interested to see who is the best RLCS come up player.
literally 6 months later zen became a World Championship MVP and won 5 tournaments in a row with the toughest competition, and turned a mid team into one of the biggest powerhouses we've ever seen
Johnny talked about Zen's analog air roll and wasn't sure if it's actually true when right as he started to talk about it at 17:55 Zen did it🤣looks so smooth, damn
This is Zen's debut? Damn. That's mad surprising, cause I myself predict Zen's upcoming year, based off his rising skill, to be a Vatira level exhibition.
LMAO at his mom using his internet. For real though, what are you supposed to do when you're 16. Glad everyone was chill about it and we got our showmatch!
Does anyone know why Johnny no longer has a default video time for showmatches to prevent from spoiling the result? I don't know cause I took a break from watching his videos
It screws with the youtube algorythm. Basically his videos get less views and promotion because youtube decides it must be a bad video if everyone stops watching half way through the video. So him and Feer started just putting the actual length for videos to try improve their channel growth
@Luc Germain people usually beat dark with a calculated game though. The matchup might be fun for Zen and he might just make it a mechanical battle against Dark in which case it’d be close
24:46 could it be that speedflipping onto a wall makes you accelerate much faster because you get the flip speed and at the same time land quicker? never thought about that but in this clip he seems to be accelerating way faster than usually possible
yes it does, i’m not sure how exactly but i’ve done some experiments with it and it would appear to at flipping into the wall accelerates you ever so slightly faster (to the point where it’s almost unnoticeable)
guys someone help me here when johnny paused the meatch he had match admin and i dont i only have that in lan and im on steam anyone know how to fix this or why not work like his
There was a video of Jack and Noly answering some questions and they got asked "Zen or Daniel?". Both replied "Zen" instantly without any hesitation at all. And to think there was a guy in the comment section salty enough to feel the need to say "zen hasn't yet to prove himself, he hasn't acomplished anything in the tournament scene"... Me watching this video imagining that guy's expression: :>
@@Stick1Master you're forgetting the part where they said zen and Daniel are splitting hairs and explained they thought Daniel has progressed beyond zen but zen is coming in better than Daniel when he first debuted
@@WannabeSemiGood Rewatched that specific video and there was no mention of such thing. Jack does add to it a bit by saying he thinks Daniel is more impressive at 15 while Zen was at 14 but that's partially because of the ban so we'll never know. Also adds that it's like comparing a number 1 to a number 2, ultimately it's close enough that you can say "who cares". And I agree, but it doesn't change the fact that they still said Zen without hesitation and without ever even seeing the guy compete in RLCS
@Luc Germain True but upsets also happen, people have off days, Dark played exceptionally well on that day as well and I'm also inclined to believe he wouldn't be able to replicate the results on another day, meanwhile Zen seems capable. I get where you're coming from but I think people are selling Rezears a bit short, he's rightfully considered EU #3 ever since he clapped Joreuz in that one match. That said I really don't understand people hating on Zen but anyone with eyes and a brain can see the kid plays amazing, the rest are just envious, lesser players that refuse to acknowledge his skill and talent.
Johnny you skip every rezears goal and yet watch zens every one. Won't say this is an advantage to zen(tilt wise although it would tilt me) because they are both pro tier players but I think if you realise how good zen is as a player we got to watch how rezears dismantles his play style at points I think you have to be conscious of this even though its exciting to see zen perform. Thats just my thoughts much love!
So what happens to the player who let Zen play on their account? NGL I think a year-long delay for someone to play professionally, for taking over another professional’s account seems reaaaallly harsh…
They both would have got a 1 year ban. Both knew they were cheating and have accepted the consequences. Not sure how that seems harsh - this has been the punishment since the start of RLCS. If they don't give an appropriate punishment, then it encourages other players to attempt the same. The simplest solution is to not cheat in the first place.
@@Snapey81 just because it’s always been that way doesn’t mean it’s not harsh. I’m also not saying the punishment shouldn’t be severe, because you’re right, it needs to be strong enough to prevent people from doing it. But I think the bulk of the punishment should fall on the RLCS player who has a contract with an org and is a professional, and not on the kid playing on their account. They should also be punished, I think 6 mo ban would be fair on the incumbent player side.
@@thundabread318 Zen was still an accomplice, although that does sound heavy for a kid - we are talking about official tournaments with big prize pools available. Whether you think that 1 year is too harsh or not, it's meant to try and discourage players from doing the same. Psyonix could easily issue life-long bans from RLCS events if players are caught cheating, 1 year isn't the end of the world. I don't disagree with you that 6 months might be fairer, but the rules have been set and it would be more harsh to change that now after other players like Atomic, Seikoo, Nwpo etc. all had to lose a year. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!
37:35 I know it's not a novelty anymore but the walldashes made that goal possible. So clean and efficient.
The save at 10:11 is unbelievable. Dude preflipped while shadow-defending mid air and pinches the ball to save the double tap from being scored.
Unreal
Crazy how far zen and vitality have gone since this video . @johnny you definitely wrote the script
Like for no spoilers
Comment to show support for these fans going the extra mile. 💪
Spoiler: scrub killa won
good looking out
he won
Yoo Johnny good vid here. I have a requested match for you.
Zen vs Nwpo
I think this will be interesting considering they both mechanically fast and really good offense with similar stories to them. Interested to see who is the best RLCS come up player.
Johnnyboi had me dead:
"Moooooom! I'm trying to beat Rezears mom! 😭🤣)
literally 6 months later zen became a World Championship MVP and won 5 tournaments in a row with the toughest competition, and turned a mid team into one of the biggest powerhouses we've ever seen
Johnny talked about Zen's analog air roll and wasn't sure if it's actually true when right as he started to talk about it at 17:55 Zen did it🤣looks so smooth, damn
zen doesn't use analog air roll he use dynamic (trigger) air roll.
Best part of this is the overall sportsmanship displayed by both when Zen had connection issues. Rez didn’t care at all and Zen was grateful.
17:30 that shot. what a foreshadow
I’ve been waiting so long to see zen get in the 1s showmatch scene
This is Zen's debut? Damn. That's mad surprising, cause I myself predict Zen's upcoming year, based off his rising skill, to be a Vatira level exhibition.
Yh since Vatira wasn't a 1s player aswell it's allright
That aged well
Who else back to this after Zen won worlds
Yes lol, now zen needs to play more show matches
LMAO at his mom using his internet. For real though, what are you supposed to do when you're 16. Glad everyone was chill about it and we got our showmatch!
Legend in the making. I'm from the future 😅
Lmao at the person in chat that said "zen is ONE word: Pure Class"
So cool listening to Johnny question how Zen will hold up in 1v1, he really had no idea what was about to unfold from this series
Zen reminds me of Forky when he was known as Chicken. Just super creative and fast. Super confident. More precise by miles though. Insane
Does anyone know why Johnny no longer has a default video time for showmatches to prevent from spoiling the result? I don't know cause I took a break from watching his videos

wouldnt be close lol, zen would wipe the floor
this dude is just unbelievable.

@@Vahmo im pretty sure its because you get the flip acceleration and also land quicker. you accelerate faster on the ground
the birth of a legend
One of the best matches I have seen
19:20 Dan uses air left on break L2 as well
zen is him
Is this pulse zen? Or diff guy?
Anyone know what Zens banner is called?
and how to get it
I am not looking forward to every RLCS analyst saying "That was a Zen moment" every time Zen scores a goal when he joins Vitality
When Zen has their bot fennec arc they can be called Ryzen (AMD processor).
we need Zen vs Rw9 and Zen vs Mawkzy and Zen vs Nwpo and Zen vs... EVERYONE!
Zen vs Mawksy already happened, will probably be uploaded in 1-2 days and i think Johnny is trying to make Zen vs KSA Players happen

zen joreuz too
Zen was playing from the Moon with that ping
repetition or practice is the key to being proficient at anything.
19:47 I'm peeing myself xD
now world champion.. GG zen
NWPO VS ZEN PLEASE it would be the most entertaining match of all time
Rezears is a good sport. Love how he stopped when zen was just going to play it
17:52 that was my comment :)
I'm in game 2 and I've never seen rexears so lost! Zen has my attention!
RLCS is going to be fuego this year.
I’d love to see zen and nwpo on a 2s team
Zen uses the wall dash better than maybe even nwpo. That's just crazy
Did Johnny forget the word "flip"?
im here from the future. Zen's internet isn't better
11:38 - he’s looking simply too good for his ears right now. 😂
Nwpo vs zen pls.
Also aztral vs zen would be fun. Or vatira.
Gonna sound like a weird question but what skin colour is zen ik he's French but is he mixed or white? Sorry its so random but I'm curious tbh

Match admin is a special privilege that psyonix gives to tournament organizers. It's not included for normal players.
@@misternotlob6769 ah ok ty
why was he banned? does anyone know?
he played on someone elses account in rlcs when he was underage
He was doing the Griddy too much
16:30
Please make Nwpo v Zen happen
just in hindsight i'm realizing that rezears did hold up really well against zen
i feel like zen has even improved from this match to now. he’s such a beast.
@@hardystew yeah i agree.
Zen vs rw9 please.... ASAP!
I would really like to see a match between zen and drku, a battle of mechanical gods
Look drku is solid and all but he himself wouldn’t consider himself as a top 1s player
Drku isnt at that level at all
dark maybe but not drku
Drku is not that guy

only 9 more days until zen is in rlcs :0
he is banned until the spring split
doesnt he play next split?

@@Yamothasadanca he has to wait Spring split even if his ban ends february the 20th
I use the same L trigger for air roll....except I'm trash at the game 🤣
Wait zen speaks English? Why'd he need a translator at rhe rlcs
his english is not exceptional and he probably struggles with pronunciation as well
An example would likely be him saying "using the connection" not "internet"
he would have been more comfortable speaking French in case he messed up his english in front of thousands of people
