So I decided to add 10 lucky people to an invite only giveaway of Rocket League.

Posting this in the forum, I'm confident that it won't land on some account unplayed.
Here is how to apply:

1) Be nice (now and in case you'll win the game! --> and prepare for a toxic community)
2) Check whether you are really interested in the game - I don't want to force anyone but I'll probably completely lose my faith in humanity and Steamgifts if this rests unplayed on some account.
3) Post something about yourself (creativity!)
4) Post one good action, shot, save, whatever you really enjoyed from here
6) Post something entertaining - freestyle (creativity! - maybe an innuendo?) --> This can basically be anything, even something you created!

End date: 17.09.2017 23:59 MESZ

I'll add the lucky 10 persons of my choice in Steam an send the link to the giveaway, which will run until 24.09.2017 23:59 MESZ

prepare for a toxic community

Definitely the most important step. Muting everyone seems to be crucial these days.

It's best if you start by muting chat. I did it too late and then after every missed ball I was imagining the toxic comments presumably thrown at me. ;-)

Nice giveaway (I don't want to enter). The first time I played Rocket League was during a free weekend. I played 12 hours of it just in that weekend.

1) No
2) Yes to question one and my wishlist has not been a good representation of what I really want since I join steamgifts. To statement two - I live to disappoint
3) Post something about yourself (creativity!) -----------------------------to edit later. "Leaking is Life". sorry that was suppose to be "Lurking is Life".
3.5) Full disclosure (in case this affects my entry), I'll be playing this with a keyboard.
4) First attached image (I think ill be the car in the second row second column).
5) Forgot 5. So i'll just post only 1 youtube video that I just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJt7gS224UE&vl=en
I'm gonna watch this video again later for that mod.

2 of my friends (actually, it's friend and friend's friend whos not my friend but i'm his. I don't get it either) are playing Rocket League and i'm sitting here waiting for a good sale. Or a win on SG ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Played this on free weekend and I really liked this, and with constant party, i think i will really sink into it (I hope lol).

If I already have Rocket League and win this GA, would I be able to drive 2 cars at the same time?

You are able to control 2 cars at the same time even with one Rocket League account.

Lower triple digits. Matchmaking is just terrible putting veterans vs semi-pros etc.

Matchmaking is partly really bad for sure and I can imagine that it's hard to get out of bronze but there must be more.
Are you often ball chasing, not rotating and quiting?

Wowowow, rocket league is in my wishlist and i want it soo bad 😍😱
This made me go '' awww ''. Seriously parenting goals. (ಥ‸ಥ)
And I really like to watch videos like these. They make me laugh every time. 😁
Hmm something about me.... idk. I'm just a girl who likes to sit on her ass all day and play video games or watch tv series. Is this enough? 😁

I'm really interested in rl since everybody seems to love this game. As an industrial engineering student I'm broke af and not able to buy every game I want from my wishlist. There's not much creative I could imagine, just a boring german gamer and 9gagger :)
This one made me giggle a bit: https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/6z9c2f/when_you_give_up_but_everything_still_works_out/
So let's hope you won't lose your faith in humanity completely!

Not very clear if you want 3 posts or just 1 of them.

Wanted to get it on summer sale but was still too expensive for my taste (think it was in a bundle before that) and decided i would get my chance some other time. :p

Our country used to be good in soccer, but lately we are like at the bottom.

Unfortunately I could never really make good use of Rocket League, as much as I am interested in playing it I am not in a position to make proper use of it due to poor Internet quality.

Dont feel like doing all that even though I like the game (and would like to play it on PC since I tried it on PS4 at my buddy`s but dont like controllers). Very nice idea though. :)

I would like to join. Last time I played the game during free weekend, I didn't do very good. If I would play it again, I won't just be chasing balls!
I love cheesecakes, This is the one I enjoyed most recently.
I would also post a good shot I found amusing.
And something entertaining. Sorry it's about cake again.Though I don't really want to eat this one.

So while the last minutes for application are running, I invited 5 people. Changed my plan so there won't be 10 people due to the small number of applications. If one of the invited does not enter I will inivte another one from here. I hope those who have not made it, have understanding.

Not bad. I'm diamond 2 at the moment. Any tips to reach champion?

Take a step back, observe, and make sure you get better at reading the plays.

My mechanics aren't very good. People in champion and lots of people in diamonds are better than me mechanically. I can't even do a half flip and everyone else in champion can.

But my positioning is really good, I try to always be right place right time.

Just keep your eyes open not only on the ball, but always know where the opponents are and more importantly where your teammate is. I think that helps the most.

Don't challenge for all the balls. Concentrate on knowing when it's a good time to challenge, and when it's not. If your first instinct is the opponent will get there before me, it's probably the right instinct. Just let him take it. If you're the last person behind in defense, try to slow the play down, don't go for a crazy play. Put the ball in the corner, or play defensive, let your teammate time to recover.

Same thing in offense. If your teammate is coming back to defense, or is safe, it's okay to go for a crazy dangerous shot. But if he is still stuck in the corner, don't put yourself out of position trying an aerial that you will probably miss. If you miss it, it's their ball, and no one's in defense = auto goal.

So I think basically understanding rotations, playing more defensively when your teammate is in a bad spot, more offensively when your teammate is defending behind you, and knowing when to challenge and when to let the opponent waste all his boost for a shot he won't make because you're not falling for his bait.

Also try to find your teammate more. Side to side passes. Back passes. A lot of times it's better to pass to a teammate, or slow the ball down, or shoot on the backboard than it is to shoot on net if there are 2 people in net already.

tl;dr I notice people in diamond have really good mechanics (better than me!). They can aerial, dribble etc. But positioning and knowing when to challenge and when to be more passive is very important to win consistently.

That's definitely a point. Thanks for the advice. I guess my tactical play isn't that bad, yet I feel often unable to carry my mates although I'm maybe the best in the lobby concerning technical play.
And I perceive it as difficult to improve in a controlled way on tactics. You can do a training pack for the technical side but for tactics you have actively call the learned things in mind and sometimes even don't get an immediate feedback based on the skill level of your mates. That makes it really hard to train beside watching replays and self-evaluating.

Agreed, that's probably why people improve their mechanical skills more, with training drills and stuff. I'm so bad at those:/

But just trying to notice your teammate more helps. Little things like when you're in your net and the teammate is in the corner, sliding it in front of him so he has a big shot rather than you moving it forward with no momentum, etc.
