The NRG Playstyle Story

  • NRG has been one of the most dominant teams in Rocket League history, but they suddenly went from a top team to a team that gets regularly knocked out in groups after they lost at the Los Angeles Major. This video uses a new machine learning tool I've created to analyze playstyles, and I go over what has happened to their playstyle and their effectiveness over time.

    Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Am I wrong? Can NRG make the comeback? What else is there to the story? (because to be honest, I left out 75% of my research for time constraints).

      He literally reads from a poorly written script, never looking at the camera or saying anything different or substantial. There's a reason he doesn't have subscribers. You & him are very similar. No substance, just vomiting out the same thing everyone else does in hopes of attaining even a small sliver of attention or notoriety. He (& yourself) appeal to children & those lacking any kind of higher knowledge or critical thinking.

      @JohnJillky Před rokem +4

      Exactly what I'm thinking. I'd wager many teams have similar looking losing charts, especially if the teams they lost to are the primary reason for it looking like that (e.g., if the winning team is very demo focused and successfully disrupted the losing team's rotations). Need a lot more data to draw any sorta conclusion imo, but it's interesting nonetheless

    Very interesting analysis, cool shots (especially loved the overhead shots), and the charts are a great visual aid.
    It would be very interesting to see such analysis on their opponents as well. Are the play-styles utilized against them when they lose the same? Or are they failing against different styles? (I imagine it's likely the latter making it more difficult to adjust correctly)
    You show a change in the viability of their play-style, but seeing the other side of these matches may give an interesting insight into WHY this is happening. What changes did their opponents make to challenge their system?

    Hey bro, banger video! One trick for you, I took a few classes on videography at UNI. Put your script your reading from above the camera instead of to the side. It is much harder to tell when you are looking away to the script when you do it like that. Kinda like how the news channels puts the script on a screen right behind / in the camera. Keep up the great work, your an underrated content creator! Great vid bro

    @studiouswadoo5027 Před rokem +1

    Good analysis. My opinion is Squishy/Garrett don't have the mechanics to play a congruent playstyle so that's why it fails. When they succeed it's usually Garrett anchoring, Squishy 3rd manning and jstn full sending/attacking. Since jstn has the ability to beat 1 or 2 defenders and then take a 50, it opens up the offense for them. Garrett and squishy cant do that on a consistent basis so they have to play roles, which is why there's inconsistencies and gaps in their offense compared to fluid teams like moist, bds, gen g and falcons
