Ughhh this whole vid went over your head didn’t it... the coverage zones are just like a visual for the vid to help better understand the concepts presented. You should know you and your teams general Coverage area. An easier way to think about it is split the field into a 3x2 grid and you don’t wanna be covering same zone as teammate, however the zone each person is covering is constantly changing
@@zeinfeimrelduulthaarn7028 I'm hoping that day comes soon. Ever since my buddies disappeared I've yet to get back to c2 on xbox. I'm down to plat 3 d1 struggle. By no means was I Carried... I just had friends who passed and read and actually received passes and scored with consistently. Edit: it's possible I'm down here because I freestyle alot too. I maybe hit 60% of my shots. This would make sense considering my win loss ratio is 64% right now.
I got carried to c1 by my c2 room mate, now I'm d3 but I don't think I ever would have got to d3 without them. Ngl I'm pretty good just SUPER DUMB AND INCONSISTENT
People don’t understand how important this stuff is. Out of everything in the game outside of just general consistency, THIS positioning skill will be the number one thing determining your rank. Every jump I’ve made, from plat to diamond to high diamond to low champ etc has always been because I got better at being in the right place at the right time. That’s all it is. What’s so funny is the lower the rank the more to me people spend on shiny mechanics that do little to nothing to help gameplay besides look cool. You just don’t see air dribbles in 3s. But hell if you go to gold everyone is doing all kinds of crazy stuff. But then you just sit there and wait for them to finish their easy to read shenanigans and now you have a fast break and possession bc that guy has no boost (at higher levels that’s like a 75% chance of a goal and why no one does that bs except in cas). SAVE THIS VIDEO the man speaks truth. I always recommend Sunless’ WISaRL 2s and 3s rotation videos for the basics But this is a good 2nd watch for the basics. Plus there are some more advanced concepts in here too. Me like
Matt S frrr, things like air dribbles and fancy shit can be helpful but they’re just fuckaround, in the higher ranks you need to be quicker, and in the right position but everyone is thinking that if they want to get higher they have to air dribble when they don’t.. what the lower ranks don’t realise is that pros and champion players will practice air dribbles, double touches etc primarily for the car control not the skill itself, but nope mr goldilocks thinks that if he can score from the ceiling he’s a grand champ 😂
Even with thiw i still believe that base mechanics ( realise i said base mechanics) are a little more important. Rotations cool and all but if you struggle to 50/50 and struggle to score and defend then it only goes so far whilst base mechanics can flat out carry you as you are much more reliable and a good player to say pass to. But we should not sttive to only have 1 side either
Dark Wolf they are equally important, knowing how to 50/50 and consistently shoot are good however a 50/50 is useless if you aren’t coming in from the right angle or spot etc
If you do t see airdribbles in 3s then you not in a high rank. In 1700-1800 mmr I airdribble over people. It’s how good you are at doing it not so much just doing it for looks
Dark Wolf that’s why I said outside of basic consistency. I mean if you can’t but the ball in an open net obviously you shouldn’t even worry about rotating. As for setting up plays to score and to clear, those basic mechanics revolve around rotation (and not just rotation, but general positioning as I mentioned) because it will be a hell of a lot easier to clear if you’re anticipating the play and set up so that if ball ends up getting to you you can easily turn it around without a threat to your back field. And on offense, same thing if you’re in the right place at the right time then your boy can you up an infield pass to shoot or throw off backboard for your other boy who if he’s IN POSITION can take advantage of. If you’re not there and you’re not there first it doesnt matter how good you are at anything else. And I’ll go as far as saying that speed is less important too. We’ve all been beaten by a team that within 10 seconds how you got matched with them going around the field like sloths but then you lose because there is just always some dude already there before you can even think about beating someone to the ball. In dropshot this is especially true which is great practice for being able to pass constantly at weird angles (small octagon shaped map) and keep redirecting until you have an opening without giving up possession. And repeat this over and over until you score. I’ve played guys where once they have possession no way anyone else is touching that ball.
how do you even make such an intro? like an entire team in a couple months of work, i could understand. but a single fan of a youtuber (assuming virge didnt make it himself)?!
I had to re-watch this because I spent the first half of the video in awe of that new intro. Someone should program in that player coverage zone line into the Ball Chasing replay analyzer. That would be extremely helpful to have auto-generated on your teams replay.
The visuals you give on spacing are groundbreaking for me and my team mate. Sometimes in duos we play almost flawlessly (given our max skill level) and then most games we struggle and couldn't figure out why. But comparing the scenarios given with our replays we noticed we weren't giving each other the right amount of spacing to maximize our coverage. Almost immediately we were getting scored on less and maintaining pressure for longer periods of time. I actually found it easier to keep pressure by spacing farther (within reason) versus trying to play at higher speeds which caused us to rotate around each other far too tightly. In sports I've always believed that the chemistry of a team can be good enough to beat the skill of a strong team, for example I grew up with the San Antonio Spurs from '02 to '16 and I think you can apply the concept of their spacing, ball movement, and most importantly off the ball movement to any sports game even RL. Cheers man thanks! And good luck on improving to all who are here
This is the most beautiful and correct guide to rotation I've seen. While most of the guides for rotation recommend certain positions and moves, this clarifies how rotation should be dynamic according to the players ranges. Awesome.
Ealier today on September 30th 2020 I was playing with some friends in a tournament. I was doing ok in fact better than I expected but after reaching quarter finals both friends got VERY upset that I didn't know how to rotate in the most efficient way possible. One even said "I WONT play with you no more if you can't rotate." I was extremely scared by then of losing a good friend. I looked up how to rotate and this (I hope) will really help me. I know some of the problems with my rotations and this covered the rest. Just this being the first video on your channel I watched I'm already subscribing, liking, and being not big brain, but MASSIVE BRAIN. If this does help me I want to thank you so soooo much for helping me recover an almost lost friend. This means a lot to me. Thank you!!!
The use of visuals. Not falling for the curse of knowledge by diving too deep but rather weave in fundamentals like "prioritize the wellbeing of the team". Giving concrete numbers as guidelines for boost management. Reminding that trust goes two ways. I really hope you're hella well paid, because this is world class. No matter what brain size I may possess I'm happily a new subscriber!
One of the first rotation videos I've seen that focuses more on covering spaces on the field rather than some strict "1st, 2nd, 3rd position." Keep up the good work 👍
My boyfriend and I have been trying to get better at rotation, and he found your video, loves it, and insisted that I watch it. Glad I did, you've had the best explanation I've seen! Thanks!
Great video virge, its crazy how much info is in this video whilst being understandable, you deserve so much more subs. Just a quick tip which i think people would like to see, maybe add like a 20 second clip of a pro team rotation( probably best to do dig in your case but it doesnt matter) at the end of the vid so we can see how to implement these big brain plays in our game
I just want to say the quality of this video is huge and I subscribed to the big brain game because a lot of other content creators don't go as in depth as you did with this concept which is highly overlooked
Big Brain Gang unite!! Great video, love the more conceptual focus compared to a lot of other rotation vids I've seen that mostly just directly say something along the lines of "these 3 players do this in this order and voila you're rotating"
Virge, don't forget to put this into your "Tips from Pro RL Coach"-playlist, because that's the playlist I send every friend that needs some good yt tuts.
Biggest takeway is that whatever you do is for the benefit of the team. Not enough people play with the thought process of playing like they're on a team, so I'm glad to see that the best Rocket League coach is spreading this message. Keep up the fantastic work Virge!
I know this is an old video and you'll probably never see this, but you've done a heck of a job here. For anyone that is wondering, I feel personally that this video applies at almost any rank aside from high GC. I've been watching since I was legitimately a gold and a couple months into the game. I've always been a twos main but this still helped. I'm now C2 and still find this helpful.
And hes back! Dope video dude, we went over some of these in our coaching sessions and I think theyre some of the most important concepts in the game. Looking forward to more content!
One of the key videos that got me to Diamond III in Solo 3v3 after 4 months of playing the game. Thank you man. Visualizing the individual range is what made this video work for me.
Rotations was the first video of rocket league I ever watched and I always come back for a good refresher. It's so important. Love the new into Virge!!
*RL Players service announcement:* _Teammate slow at recovering, not rotating fast enough, doing something dumb or unexpected. Don't double commit and fuck things up further for the team, instead be patient, position to cover_
honestly i subscribed because of how sick your intro was. That is a movie quality intro and I cant believe either you put the time into making it or made the effort to pay someone to do it! Also thanks for reassuring to people the fact you have to trust every teammate as much as you trust yourself. it truly makes the difference.
This was vague enough to actually be true. There is no exact one "right" rotation, there's only different players having to adapt to each other and the situation on the fly, and learning how to cover as many options as possible with the team in mind is important.
Only thing i’d say is just the inflection of your voice (where it sounds like your always ending on a question mark) can be a bit hard to listen to. Much appreciated the info tho.
3:16 At what rank does this potential passing play (meaning Virge pushing mid to get open for pass) become reliable? I'm C3 and 9/10 times I'd just withdraw and let him solo it and prepare to defend, because it's likely only gonna end up with a possession loss. And I can't count how many times have I intercepted such a pass attempt and scored. It's easy to read and if you fail you still have someone behind you, unlike them.
This is where video's like this become a little iffy. Don't get me wrong, the video was superb and explained rotation probably as well as you possibly can, but I also can't help but feel that some of it is only really valid to the top 1% of players, who most likely already know this stuff. The comment towards the end where Virge said "team mates will catch on to your rotating and are more likely to join in with you as no one wants to be a ball chaser", oh how I wish that were true. I'm currently firmly in Champ 2 and feel like every game is as much a war of attrition with my team mates than it is the other team. Some days I just end up abandoning ranked matches as I get sick to death of trying to account for team mates with my movement only to have the same people cutting me off literally 10+ times a game, and then they have the audacity to point out my low score when the only reason my score is low is because i'm simply trying to cover their selfish playstyle all the time with me rarely touching the ball. If I feel this way in Champ 2 which I'm fairly sure is around the top 5% of players, then god knows what the other 95% of players are experiencing. Like I said great video, but can't help but feel like some of the comments surrounding team mates were made out of slight ignorance to how unaware or selfish 99% of the playerbase is.
This is such a great explaination of rotation. To be honest, my mechanics are absolute trash (working on that) but what I lack in skill, I make up for in game sense. I wish more people would read into it.
9:16 is this what happens in GC? Because it sure doesn't happen in the Champ ranks :/ Oh, you're playing smart and positioning well? Let me put you in a 2 v 1 over and over and then blame you.
First time watching your videos, i'm only at 11 seconds in, i just gotta say that is THEE COOLEST intro I've ever seen in my freakin life. Movies, CZcamsrs, TV Shows, Anime, what have you - that intro seriously freakin tops them all
Content being superb aside, the visualization in these videos is insanely good. Most other Content Creators just use first camera footage and simetimes draw stuff on the screen, while these Videos usually have scenes with the coverage areas and so forth. So much easier to understand!
Awesome video! very important topic. What I've found at lower ranks to mess up rotations is players thinking that proximity to the ball determines who should go for it when often the closest player has no momentum or is facing backwards to the play or has no boost and in effect has no range or perspective to do anything other than mess up his own team.
I’m in diamond 2 and you can almost instantly tell within the first 30 seconds of the game if you’re going to win purely based off rotation. If we’re consistently rotating back and having optimal coverage and opening space to allow time to grab boost while also defending, it makes things feel awesome. Nothing feels better than when you can play at maximum speed within your skill zone and having consistent rotation and good touches/passes.
Out of this entire video the most important information for me was the if you are closer to ball but turned away just go back rather than cutting for possession
I’ve focused more on positioning and rotations recently because I realized that even though I can air dribble and pull some fancy stuff doesn’t make me a god. Ever since I improved my positioning, I’ve won a lot more games consistently. It’s honestly more rewarding than a ceiling shot or flip reset
I started watching Virge when I was diamond 2. Now I'm champ 3 and I feel like I can finally put these tips to use. Back in d3/c1 this just isn't something that happens. Everyone goes for the ball, there is like 20% rotation, 3 4ths the shots aren't the touches the people wanted to get. I'm loving this game more and more the better I get at it!
That nose/tail towards ball comment was a slap in the face. Every time I try to turn around and smack the ball because I'm closest, things go wrong. Only registered just now. Danke danke.
This is by far the best viedo for rotation I've seen.Rlly help me undertstand when to rotate and when teamate go and the new intro is sick # Lama Squad
The problem in RL community is all this "highlights" content. I mean, everyone will prefer to do some solo play just to look cool (if it works) and blaming their teammates bc their have low score points in the match. Nice video btw it's really useful dude. Thank you!

Hahahahahahaha re-listened thats hillarious, great video though
This is so big brain I can't even comprehend how rudimentary this has been conveyed by this video.
For a new player, this is kind of confusing but yet so helpful, this was what I needed, thank you so much
Well me rotating with my friends in rocket league is just me sitting back the whole time. Stupid ball chasers😕
3:16 At what rank does this potential passing play (meaning Virge pushing mid to get open for pass) become reliable? I'm C3 and 9/10 times I'd just withdraw and let him solo it and prepare to defend, because it's likely only gonna end up with a possession loss. And I can't count how many times have I intercepted such a pass attempt and scored. It's easy to read and if you fail you still have someone behind you, unlike them.
This is where video's like this become a little iffy. Don't get me wrong, the video was superb and explained rotation probably as well as you possibly can, but I also can't help but feel that some of it is only really valid to the top 1% of players, who most likely already know this stuff. The comment towards the end where Virge said "team mates will catch on to your rotating and are more likely to join in with you as no one wants to be a ball chaser", oh how I wish that were true. I'm currently firmly in Champ 2 and feel like every game is as much a war of attrition with my team mates than it is the other team. Some days I just end up abandoning ranked matches as I get sick to death of trying to account for team mates with my movement only to have the same people cutting me off literally 10+ times a game, and then they have the audacity to point out my low score when the only reason my score is low is because i'm simply trying to cover their selfish playstyle all the time with me rarely touching the ball.
If I feel this way in Champ 2 which I'm fairly sure is around the top 5% of players, then god knows what the other 95% of players are experiencing. Like I said great video, but can't help but feel like some of the comments surrounding team mates were made out of slight ignorance to how unaware or selfish 99% of the playerbase is.
This is such a great explaination of rotation. To be honest, my mechanics are absolute trash (working on that) but what I lack in skill, I make up for in game sense. I wish more people would read into it.
This also results in me almost always being the 3rd man 😒
This is the best video on Rocket League I've ever watched. I immediately linked it to all of my buddies.
9:16 is this what happens in GC? Because it sure doesn't happen in the Champ ranks :/
Oh, you're playing smart and positioning well? Let me put you in a 2 v 1 over and over and then blame you.
Lol
2v1s typically happen because you go back for 100 boost instead of pathing over pads and sticking close to the play.
@@zjohnson1632 I said playing smart and positioning well so that rules out that possibility. But yes, if you're playing dumb, that is one way.
2:38
IS THAT THE CAMERA SHAKING OPTION
BECAUSE IF IT IS, IM GOING TO
SCREAM
REALLY
LOUD
Nee
First time watching your videos, i'm only at 11 seconds in, i just gotta say that is THEE COOLEST intro I've ever seen in my freakin life. Movies, CZcamsrs, TV Shows, Anime, what have you - that intro seriously freakin tops them all
6:32 dunno if it was intentional but i love this transition.
Easily one of the single best videos on rocket league strategy. The others are mostly Virge's too.
Content being superb aside, the visualization in these videos is insanely good. Most other Content Creators just use first camera footage and simetimes draw stuff on the screen, while these Videos usually have scenes with the coverage areas and so forth. So much easier to understand!
Awesome video! very important topic. What I've found at lower ranks to mess up rotations is players thinking that proximity to the ball determines who should go for it when often the closest player has no momentum or is facing backwards to the play or has no boost and in effect has no range or perspective to do anything other than mess up his own team.
That also describes Champ 2. :D
I’m only around plat 2 so I’ve been watching some videos to get better and this is by far the best video explaining rotations.
I’m in diamond 2 and you can almost instantly tell within the first 30 seconds of the game if you’re going to win purely based off rotation. If we’re consistently rotating back and having optimal coverage and opening space to allow time to grab boost while also defending, it makes things feel awesome. Nothing feels better than when you can play at maximum speed within your skill zone and having consistent rotation and good touches/passes.
I don't know if it's the first video of you I see or not but damn that's the single greatest intro I have EVER seen.
Weren’t even a fan but the quality of this content makes me want to see more best and most useful rl CZcamsr out there!!
Out of this entire video the most important information for me was the if you are closer to ball but turned away just go back rather than cutting for possession
I’ve focused more on positioning and rotations recently because I realized that even though I can air dribble and pull some fancy stuff doesn’t make me a god. Ever since I improved my positioning, I’ve won a lot more games consistently. It’s honestly more rewarding than a ceiling shot or flip reset
I could watch that intro 1000 more times and not get sick of it
First Tutorial ive seen on rotations, im on champ II lvl right now and to me it seems like you explained everything really well so great job man
This should be a mandatory video when starting rocket league.
Bro your intro is sick af, literally better than any other RL content maker's with 10x+ subscribers
I started watching Virge when I was diamond 2.
Now I'm champ 3 and I feel like I can finally put these tips to use. Back in d3/c1 this just isn't something that happens. Everyone goes for the ball, there is like 20% rotation, 3 4ths the shots aren't the touches the people wanted to get.
I'm loving this game more and more the better I get at it!
This is the first LEGIT Rotation Guide for RL. Very well done. Suscribed
I was about to say virge explained this the best out of anyone than I remembered hes a coach no shit
Virge does a great job at explaining the more complicated aspects of the game in a fairly basic manner. #big 🧠
You’re video helped so much, i watched it twice to make sure i didn’t miss anything
Best RL tutorial i've seen hands down
Jesus Christ.. Who made that intro? Hands down it’s the best one I’ve ever seen. And for the record I sleep less than I spend time watching CZcams.
I will be showing this to my esports students. As they currently struggle with some of this. Thank you.
Whenever I play the game again after a long time this is my go-to video👍
Beautiful video Virge! This is super helpful and I love the, easy to read, visuals. You are truly one of the best coaches out there. Thank you!
That nose/tail towards ball comment was a slap in the face. Every time I try to turn around and smack the ball because I'm closest, things go wrong. Only registered just now. Danke danke.
The hard work put into making that intro.... respect to the guy.
Best rotation guide ever I really hope this blows up
This is by far the best viedo for rotation I've seen.Rlly help me undertstand when to rotate and when teamate go and the new intro is sick # Lama Squad
The problem in RL community is all this "highlights" content. I mean, everyone will prefer to do some solo play just to look cool (if it works) and blaming their teammates bc their have low score points in the match.
Nice video btw it's really useful dude. Thank you!
best intro of any RL CZcamsr
This intro is so good ima keep rewatching it
This video should be in the rocket league tutorial. Mandatory for anyone playing ranked.
The visualization of player range was super helpful for a visual learner. Keep up the great content and never sacrifice the quality for quantity!
Such a underrated youtuber
BEST👏🏼INTRO👏🏼EVER👏🏼 first time watching ur vids and I was impressed
An actual good rotation guide that doesn’t say go in circles???!!!! Amazing explanation dude :)
Wow. This is my first video which i saw from your Channel. At first your intro is fantasic and ur desgin and the over all look is extremly good. I thought you would have at least 1 M sups. keep it up
