5 minutes in and this is already one of the best show matches i've seen, these guys truly are in a class of their own
Wait to see yanxzn x daniel
what was the best game?
Wait for yan vs daniel
Was here to copy the next 3 people
wait for zen v daniel
man something that no one talks about enough is his mid-play recoveries. i know johnny touched on it a little, but he consistently recoveries from his awkward positions with superior car control.
At 13:39, the empty jump to ofc recover faster, but put him far back enough to get the power on his shot he wouldnt have been able to generate otherwise.
The turn back onto the wall was amazing at 4:25
And his boost usage mid-flip is impeccable, combined with his near-perfect dodge control is what allows him to accelerate in awkward directions with speed allows his high paced gameplay
He’s just a creative and mechanical genius. Feels like he’s from the future and came back in time to troll everybody. I’ve watched a lot of RL and am pretty good myself, I’ve never seen anything remotely similar to him. This is the best player to ever touch the game, enjoy it.
He's so fucking good mannnn
good eye
My all time favorite show match. I love the trash talk and zen is looking unstoppable right now!
this matchup was incredibly entertaining. the quick chat is so simple yet so effective - i'm glad the lads played into it :D ggs!
ez and leaves what a legend
Fully deserved
That was clean af 👍
I’m a mawkzy fan but zen is peaking rn , he’s just too good at the game , can’t wait to see him perform in the rlcs
He is not peaking. It’s him. He is that good all around.
You guys really need to stop throwing around the term "peak" without knowing the meaning. Peaking is when someone is playing at their absolute best, and wont play like that again unless they get better and raise their ceiling. Consistency is very important. Zen hasn't just played well for one game, he's consistently been annihilating every top 1v1 player on the planet one by one. Not just that, but his skill stays consistent in 2v2 as well, dominating everybody. 3v3 scrims and everything too. He is overall the best 1v1 player in the world, and arguably top 3 potentially in RLCS. Just because someone plays really well doesn't mean they are playing at their peak. A good player earns the title of being good by proving they can play well consistently, which Zen has clearly done.
@@FriskyTwoTimes11 Absolutely right.
@@FriskyTwoTimes11 he is peaking tho , he didn’t use to play this well a couple months ago 😅
@@ekku259 That doesn't mean he is "peaking" again using the term very incorrectly. If you don't understand it don't mention it.
this seriously has to be the best showmatch ive ever seen
I have never wanted someone to win so bad. Thank you Johnny for posting this content 😂
17:59 Zen just like: "Here! An L just for you. Grasp it firmly."
I can't believe what I just watched, best series I've ever seen! And great entertainment too! The 2nd match is the game of the year so far, no doubt, just incredible. Mawkzy is Mawkzy but there's something with Zen that makes him even more special I think, those recoveries and big IQ plays and the skill that goes with it, it truly is something.
Oh boy just wait for zen vs Daniel
@@exoski4730 I want zen vs nwpo
Amazing matchup and video. This was really fun to watch and I loved the trash talk.
some of the best car control ive ever seen in a game
Vatira.
Truly epic match! Beyond excited to watch this guy in RLCS soon.
I had never really seen Zen play aside from a couple 2s games here and there, so I wasn't fully invested in the hype. But after seeing this run of 1s form, this dude is the real deal. We're seeing something special here
Same, I'm such a skeptic but wow I'm being won over.
he is on another level of understanding the game, so calculated
I mean he is playing at top Level in 2’s since he was 13
@@KapyLeBro well that doesn't make any difference to me if I've never seen him play. Also the way people like AppJack talk about this guy, you would have thought he was the second coming. And you know what? It's looking more and more like Jack was right
Something special indeed
I feel like Zen has some of the most wicked plays, similar to Dark in the air with the consistent resets but the ground play is like Joreuz with the recoveries and speed almost.
He’s as consistent as vatira, mechanical as dark and as saucy as joreuz imo
In my personal opinion Dark seems a little more choreographed. Like he knows what shot he's going for when he takes off. Zen seems more unpredictable and able to adapt more in the air to what the defender is doing. And he's so well rounded on top of that. Insane.
I hate spoilers as much as anyone but it's just starting to seem like a lost cause. Every time a new Zen match comes out my inner hater is like "okay here we go things will come down to earth and regression to the mean and yada yada" but he's starting to look like the perfect storm. Plus Mawkzy's legendary throws and antics as always showing why he's one of imo the funnest people to watch on top of his skills on display, and this video is an instant favorite!
I cannot WAIT to see this rematch
Gotta see Zen vs Rw9 now plsss
Thank you johnnyboi and co., this was the BEST showdown I’ve seen this year. Cheers, Slainte, Wassail!
We must see rw9 vs zen ASAP
This 🙏
johnny has it lined up for next week
17:44 funniest professional rl moment ever
this is the best shomatch I have ever seen in a while damn, Specifically the second game
Been waiting for this one.. going to be a fun watch
We need to see Yan vs Zen!!!
These guys are definitely an incredible match for each other, makes me want to try to struggle in 1s just to get better.
When I do that, I remember that what I do is struggle in 1s 💀
@@user-yv6xw7ns3o dw we all struggle in 1s
when you struggle in life and just want to have fun playing some games
*struggles in 1s 🤣
Incredible match. I was so hyped about the matchup and happy when it finally started. Zen might be the god of gods
this zen guy is quite good at the game
I’m plat and better than him
I’m bronze and I’m better than you
I'm unranked and can 1v2 you both
Im exited to see him in rlcs
im blind and can make you 3 own goal
big big fan of the channel and I love love loooove the content.
JohnnyBoi,
you're overthinking it man, plan b is a good name, it's fun to say, and it's catching on cause it resonates with what that move evokes, it's the very last possible move you can make before the car is no longer in the air, time to put plan b into action. It's silly to overthink the logic on this, it's just the name for a move in a game, but even if you really want to it still makes sense: it's PLAN B, not unplanned b. It's the plan you go with as the alternate to the other plan/s. It's a totally fine name, you are starting to sound like a crazy man on a soap box lol. It's time to gracefully admit defeat.
The quickchat is immensely entertaining
Zen is just too good for sure, he has an ability to control the game with all these perfect little touches that would be a single touch for most players but for him he turns it in to a setup. So many negative angle flips, recovery flips to the opposite side of the ball to control the field and always stay relevant.
This style is god tier in 1's and 2's when you have full control of the field but it does remain to see what happens at the very top tier of 3's. He will for sure be formidable but it can sometimes be what makes a player god tier in 1's or 2's can hold them back when they become only 33% of the team and get less field time and have to let other people play with them.
I just think his level of control is what makes him great in 1's and I bet he can carry almost any 2's game no matter his team mate, but 3's is more chaotic and no amount of control in slow scenarios usually beats out solid rushing players.
What was very interesting to see here is that zen totally negated mawkzy's flicks, which can be a bi product of mawkzy being so good at them. The fact he is so good at them, if you are zen tier they almost become easier to read because if you have full confidence in mawkzy to make that flick and have the read capabilities of zen, it becomes easier in some way.
czcams.com/video/4aDU1pl3gjw/video.html , he was insane at this tournament
Zen is playing at a level I've never seen before it's like he mastered the game
nobody will ever master this game
@@god1253 honestly i think you're right
does anyone know what mawkzys color scheme is for the purple? and what kind of paint thing he has on?
That game 2 was has to be the most insane single match I've ever seen in 1s...
I will never be able to pass up a Zen show match after his recent few matches. Vatira vs Joreuz, I can skip. Zen vs anyone, I can't skip. He always clips. He always amazes. He's ridiculous.
what do you think of Zen today? Have you seen his success in the RLCS?
The damage that Zen will do in the RLCS will be unimaginable!
Hey Johnny could you go back to putting the black screen at the end of the video so that we can’t tell who wins or loses solely based off of the time left in the video? Thanks
The match everyone wanted. So glad to see him win!
The quick chats got completely out of control that match and I'm here for it
I’d say a plan b is a lengthy air dribble, losing control (or intentionally going for a plan b)
then pogoing under the ball and popping it up, then continuing the air dribble, and a pogo shot is how feer was describing it
a plan b is hitting the ball into the air off of a pogo. it's fine for johnny to call it a pogo shot because his audience is less experienced with the game and a lot of his viewers are new to rocket league. however it's still called a plan b, whether it's the player's first plan or second plan. and the only reason johnny is arguing that no one should call it a plan b is because he has a big ego.
so cool to see zen in show matches to actually compare him to top players, he's going to be a consensus top 10 player very soon
Love the vid jboi ty
Game 2 was insane, Zen is just different.
We need more toxic quick chats in these series
Wow Game 2 was unbelievable!
Despite being a huge mawkzy fan I'm glad the kid finally got humbled in the quick chat game, it was long overdue. Finally a guy appeared that's ready to not only engage him in such mental warfare but also match his trademark characteristic of kicking them when they're down despite getting compliments from the other person. Poetic justice, especially considering he can be a sore loser lmao
They are friend tf
@@clows7590 Completely aware of this but I still stand behind what I said
4:27 idk why but that was sick
Good vid bro keep it up ❤❤
We need to see dark vs zen now
That kinda comeback reminded me of old school Kux or Scrub. Wasn't sure that was still possible at the top level today.
Maybe also could mix in some wave dash kickoffs, but clearly not necessary.
if zen beats rw9 hes confirmed best player in the world
rw9, daniel, trk, yanxnz. all 4 of them remain.
@@Dark.Syndicate You could add FK in there as well
@@Dark.Syndicate daniel is inconsistent, yanx havnt seen in a 1v1 showmatch in a while, fk is not up there. so only rw9 and trk
@@cru3her608 i would love to see TRK vs zen that's sound hella interesting
what trail is zen using?
best show match ive seen
you can tell mawkzy was bashing his keyboard at the end😂😂
Zen,Mawkzy,Dark are blessing to the rocket league community
and Vatira
and Goku
Please do Dark vs Zen that would be really cool to see
Nah Dark will get obliterated
@@clows7590 i dont care that would be fun to see
Imagine Zen is actually the next gem AI bot.
The trash talking made it so much more entertaining
Rw9 vs Zen need to happen ASAP
Zen est juste incroyable ... Au sol, dans les airs, en attaque, en défense et le tout à 1000 à l'heure.
Everything is perfect about zen, like everything. Especially his airial
You don't know how to write aerial
@@cozminr You don't know how to spell aerial.*
@@compsznmaybe he was talking about strictly writing it…with a pen 🖊️
mawkzys flicks will always impress me
Lmao I chuckled at “lowkey beef”
Game 2 actually broke my soul
4:27 ... WTF is that turn?! 🤯
BRO THAT COMEBACK FROM ZEN
JOHNNNY WE ABSOLUTELY REQUIRE ZEN VS NWPO
can we get zen vs dark?
Should we see zen vs rw9?
where the hell do i buy a zen jersey
Now we need to see Zen v Nwpo and Zen v Vatira
The wizard flick from zen at 5:23 was DISGUSTING
Is this going to be like the Fairy Peak domination arc?
nah, rn ones is too stacked for one player to ever dominate to that extent. I don't think it will ever happen again.
@@AlaReDuS finally someone gets it
@@AlaReDuS I agree with you. Also I think the reason Zen is having such a streak, is because he is really really good and that other 1s pros aren't familiar with his playstyle yet, hence get surprised by his aggressivness (is that a word?) so the more times go by the more other pros will have way to counter him. Doesn't mean that he will stop winning obviously he'll progress too, but the matchs may become less one sided.
@@AlaReDuS True.
@@babyseal2761 Spot on. Couldn't agree more. Not to take anything away from zen tho, he's clearly a world class, top level 1s player rn and probably will remain that way, but yes, others will learn how to counter his unconventional aggressiveness, just like they did with oKhalid's bounce dribbling and now with Mawkzy's flicks.
Chat definitely has an impact.. if you think it doesn’t then you don’t pay attention or you have it turned off. It adds pressure to the game.. some ppl fail under pressure. Others thrive.
I cant wait to see Zen in RLCS!
the greatest french weapon : trashtalking
Zen Vs NWPO would be entertaining for my soul
I been saying this kid is one of the best already he is insane
W matchup
It was a pogoshot at 11:55 right?
I feel like its different than a pogo and different than a plan B cuz plan B is meant to keep the ball up in the air and not shoot.
Is Maxkzy part of GenG?
Zen vs monkeymoon? I’m curious about how their play styles would mix!! Monkeymoon is my favorite all the way but this guy Zen is a game changer
Wow what a match this was a insane vid to watch...cant wait to see what dark is gonnna do with zen
Who is next?
still waiting for that Yan or Rw9 vs Zen. Surely he can be stopped lol
omg it took me 3 minutes to realize zen was not the blue lmfao
GAME 2 GAME 2 GAME 2
My french part cant talk how great this 2 are on their league ! I like Vatiraaaaa but Zen this gameplay this touchy touch OMG . @14:37 True shot fired .
Johnny I have two completely different thoughts in reply to your commentary:
1. I feel like quick-chat smack-talk should not be against the rules, but it is often without tact or class. A bad look usually, but not always (not in this series anyway).
2. I totally agree that “plan B” is a misnomer for the reason you mention. I just want to use that point as a segway into another misnomer in rocket league that I would love to hear your thoughts on: The *Fifty-Fifty* - which suggests there is an element of chance, when the game is completely deterministic.
The game is completely deterministic (aside from kick-off positions and spawns which are random), but does that automatically imply that there is no luck? I wonder if those are mutually exclusive. On one hand I tend to agree with you, but on the other hand, it seems that luck does exists in small amounts due to the fact that the game works in such a way that our brains cannot fully comprehend it, either due to speed or lack of 'complete' car control.
For example, pros do not always have perfect control over their cars (i.e. misflipping due to mistimed inputs), and with regard to reading how a ball is going to bounce off of some kind of surface, or even if the ball is going to bounce at all. Some make the argument that the game is physics based and that it therefore does not contain luck, however, I would say that this is actually what introduces luck and sets it apart from a game like chess, a game truly deterministic that doesn't contain an element of luck.
If a game like Rocket League cannot be perfected by any human being due to the way our brains are wired and how we process information such that the way we play the game doesn't just boil down to decision making, can we really say that there is no element of luck?
@@garybuttherissilent5896
I take your point - luck is a perfectly reasonable way to look at not knowing the outcome of a collision, and no player is good enough to predict with absolute certainty how the ball will react in the messy arena of rocket league.
My issue with the name “50-50” is that it implies the outcome is *entirely* due to luck, when we all know that good players can manipulate the outcome in their favor. It is common to hear “this player is great at 50-50s” or some other statement about the skill involved. 50-50 is a coin flip, but most simultaneous collisions are strategized by either player.
And the name also oversimplifies the goal of the collision. 50-50 for what, precisely? The ball going backwards or forwards? What about sideways? What is the 50% chance referring to?
I appreciate your comment by the way.
Y'all debate using quick chat for mental warfare, I bind what a save to my jump button like a true menace, we are not the same
We need Zen vs Dark
What a win for Zen
Plebs: It's not good sportsmanship to trash talk. It shouldn't be allowed.
Sports:
**Randy Moss has entered the chat**
**Sean Avery has entered the chat**
**Larry Bird has entered the chat**
**Rory Sabbatini has entered the chat**
**John McEnroe has entered the chat**
from 7-1 with 2 min left to 9-10 and the ez before leaving...love the karma
Ez and the insta leave is crazy lolol
WHAT A SAVE
Do okhalid vs zen. I wanna see if okhalid being the one to control people can control him
Yes agree
It would be like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object
I feel like RW9 has been filling that control sector as of late. I do hope Khalid sees a return to form in the near future. My personal favorite 1's player of all time.
Wow......just wow!!
Zen is honestly just too good man 😂
Don’t think I have ever seen anyone like Zen in the ones scene.
Johnny saying he doesn’t get why it’s called a “plan B” and then goes on to explain why it got that name in the first place..
Fr… and why every show match lol like dude I get it you’re a contrarian
