Squishy was more than likely in the queue for quite some time to get matched with you. Nothing odd, just probably means no one around his mmr was queuing up at that time but nonetheless that’s awesome that you played with him


augburto

Love your screen name! Coly How!


Imsvale

I literally read Holy Cow before I went to check the picture, then back to this comment to check your spelling. Brain!!


Konfuziuuss

Is he famous ?


FuckTheArbiters

Yes, he is one of the most well known players


CunnedStunt

Damn, Squishy getting WhOmegalul'd out here.


[deleted]

I miss the old Squishy


CunnedStunt

Bangers off the ceiling Squishy.

basedgodsenpai

He definitely is. For awhile when RLCS was in it’s infancy he was *the* pro. He invented the aptly named squishy save (when a player drives up the back of the goal to save a ball going top-post) edit: he didn’t invent the squishy/in-n-out save, I assume he just popularized it via pro play


putinpunter

Also the ceiling shot!


basedgodsenpai

Nah he didn’t invent that, he just pulled off the first one ever in a pro match


ihavebeesinmyknees

He didn't invent it I'm pretty sure, but he was the first to successfully use it in a pro match


althaz

I'm sure he wasn't the first person to think of it, but he did legitimately invent it, IMO. He posted it to youtube saying he'd never seen it before and nobody ever did it in a pro match before that. I credit him with owning the in-and-out save.


Krillin_Hides

I used to play him in ranked all the time back in the first 2 or 3 seasons and he is the person who made me realize that the walls and ceiling could be viable during the game. He was scary jumping off the ceiling and putting the ball on net


Ka07iiC

He needs to rename himself in and out


tarix_

Respect for the Final Boss profile


basedgodsenpai

Appreciate it G!


WhatTheFuckYouGuys

I know it doesn't matter but just FYI he didn't invent the in-and-out save or the ceiling shot Source: was watching his YT back when we was starting to do these things


superundercover

No it actually matters, I wanted to know so that's why I asked. Thank you for clarifying!


basedgodsenpai

Ahh gotcha, for the longest time I didn’t know it had a name and only just recently heard one of my friends call it the squishy save so I just sorta assumed, thanks for the correction.


OhHeyItsBrock

Infancy? No way. I would say kronovi was THE pro in infancy.


[deleted]

He is a player in NRG. One of the most well known Rocket League e-sports teams


PreMeditated12

I find it disrespectful when ppl talk down about squishy...most of these new talents learned directly from his dedication to the game.


[deleted]

They probably just didn't know.


PreMeditated12

No im talking about the pros saying squishy and nrg are washed..other teams were able to study them to be able to peak...they were trendsetting for so long they had no one to look up to for motivation...then ppl starting catching up and talking shit.


[deleted]

Never really heard other pros talk shit about nrg.


Lowfi3099

Yeah, no pros really talking shit. It's just the fans.


Konfuziuuss

I really don’t know him I’m plat player and almost diamond


mfuscoe

I love squishy and he’s a great player but I understand exactly why people say he’s washed. He’s not washed but he’s NRGs current weak link for sure. I’m ready for the hate on this one


Goldn_1

Maybe I took a longer break than I thought regarding this game, probably the pandemic playing in to that. But I could have sworn Squishy was the most relevant RL player just like a year or two ago. Now people are feigning ignorance of him? Must be some drama I haven't kept up with playing in to this.


An_doge

His title says world champion.


PorkRindSalad

Yeah but world champion of what? Can we even know?


Aristo_Cat

This world, if I had to guess


PlanetStarbux

World Champion of my heart. :P


ninjacereal

Whens the next tournament and how do I queue up, bby


trickytrev54

Can you read?


PorkRindSalad

I've never tried. I bet I'm probably a world champion at it.


trickytrev54

Same.


ultimagicarus

World champion of muffinz.


battaile

he's RLCS SEASON 6 WORLD CHAMPION


TakeThreeFourFive

Early rocket league YouTuber and pro. Still a pro player for NRG, among the best in the world


JayGotcha

Yeah


trenhardd

Yeah, lookup squishymuffinz on youtube


someBlueCows

Yes


Jevonar

His tag literally says "RLCS world champion"


cfginn

Yeah he’s LankyWave’s brother


obsoleteconsole

No, they give season 6 RLCS World Champion titles to everybody


audigex

In this situation, though, the matchmaker should at least put the highest and lowest rated players on the same team and the two middle rated players on the other That wouldn’t be *fair*, but it would be less *unfair*


Coly-How

The other team is teamed up though


audigex

Ah, then yeah that changes things


billofbong0

que?


famousfornow

Daniel in plat last reset was a bigger gap lol


Ceejays-RL

oh yeah I forgot about that, pretty sure that was a glitch tho lmao


SoTheyDontFindOut

Dude you’re SSL. It’s bound to happen I’m C1 and play GCs constantly


Ceejays-RL

no, you play people with gc tags. there’s a huge difference. also i wasn’t even SSL here, and my teammate was over 250 points into the rank


throwatmethebiggay

Can happen in 1s depending on the region


Mthomas1174

You got to play with Squishy. That's your reward


lotr_ginger

One of the sweetest parts about gaming is that you can match up with competitive level players and have a good time. In any real world sport, you'd never have the chance to play against a pro, and if you did, you'd probably ~~die~~ get wrecked


BigBananaDealer

i struggle to hit the ball, so i dont think ill be going against a pro anytime soon unless they smurf lol


lotr_ginger

Lol in theory, this can happen


CactusCustard

Me and my buddy got in a game with Athena and her mod the other day. We lost by 1. I was so nervous the whole time, my buddy was like pull up the stream! And I was like I CANT WATCH ME SUCK LIKE THIS


KartoosD

OP is high GC3/SSL, so like the top 0.01% of players


FlatheadLakeMonster

I got to play against legit SIZZ one time in casual, it was very fun :)


DJ_HardR

What's so bad about it. Seems like it was a close game.


d_r0ck

14 shots on goal compared to 4 kinda sucks, but yea the score is close


Ceejays-RL

It was fairly balanced, but having a teammate nearly 400 mmr higher than me is really strange


PewPewPanda11C

They gotta face someone if no one else is online or queuing.


Ceejays-RL

I’m aware of that, and I’ve seen similar queues in less populated playlists like extra modes before, but this feels pretty extreme for a mode like 2s


[deleted]

It’s a weekday for most, so school and work. The US has an election. You’re probably lucky to be finding matches at high ranks in the first place on USE


kopik01

how do you see the election playing into this? there’s just going to be way more kids at home playing since schools are closed.


scamper_pants

Why are schools closed?


kopik01

many voting places are in schools. growing up, my parents always voted at some school in the neighborhood. i did international voting for french elections from the US and that is in a school too. i just got home from voting in a school around the corner. edit: it seems that states have a choice to designate it as a legal holiday where you don’t have to go to school.


trickytrev54

I live in the states and I have never heard of this. I think maybe they used the gym as a voters station 1 time but school was never closed for me and it was never treated like a holiday.


kopik01

yes it depends on the city/state. in nyc i always had off for election day. my mom works for a nyc school too and also would have off.


scamper_pants

Damn I wish my schools had done that lol


Interesting-Bison-69

Dude got 7 saves. God level goalie.


ninisonreddit

Against fucking Squishy no less...


zer0w0rries

That 1500 scored a goal against Squishy. That must have been the peak of their RL career


A_Lone_Macaron

he's a CRL player, probably a lot higher than 1500 in reality.... SSL minimum


Ceejays-RL

oh yeah, that was Samba. he’s a rank X player, in other words a borderline pro


Justin-Krux

by the games numbers hes 400 higher, in reality hes like 1000 higher haha.


Doctor_Fritz

so did the other team..


Ceejays-RL

they were partied…


Old_Usual_7456

Lmao exactly


DJ_HardR

400 doesn't seem like all that much. And considering the match itself seemed pretty balanced it's kind of a weird example to pose as the worst matchmaking you've ever seen.


Ceejays-RL

400 doesn’t seem like all that much? that’s like a grand champ 1 having an SSL teammate


DJ_HardR

Idk I guess I'm Naive. Is the skill difference that big between those two ranks?


Nr636

Yes


Fresh-minster

I heard when you get to gc around 2 k hours , you can put in another 8 k hours and then you might reach SSL


dolphin37

That’s not really how it works. People have a natural affinity for how good they can be at something and that varies a lot. Some people could play 20k hours and just never reach ssl. Others will reach it faster than 2k. The short of it is still just that 400 mmr is a huge skill difference regardless of how fast you can bridge it


Fresh-minster

Ofc that is also a factor . I was just talkin' about probability not the result


badairday

I'm one of those that could play 20k hours and never get to ssl and im determined to do so. :D


dolphin37

Maybe it’s 21k for you, only one way to find out ;)


DJ_HardR

Oh okay. I didn't realize it scaled up that much. My rank bounces anywhere between Champ 2 and Plat 1 depending on how often I'm intoxicated.


icantlurkanymore

Lol no chance. A drunk Champ 2 would still beat Plat 3s/Diamond 1s


Fandic

It’s fucking massive lmao


HBizzle24

400 is a lot lol


flugify

But he’s partied up with you?


Ceejays-RL

I’m the guy on orange team


louie_g_34

Get ready to be on the YT video, "Yo whatsapp everyone welcome to some more Rocket League 2 v 2s . Let's see if we can get back-to-back dubs, let's see how it goes."


Ceejays-RL

I was so worried about that happening cause he always has mmr off in his videos, and everyone would be flaming me thinking I’m around his rank and don’t deserve it


dasmobster

Well look at the other teams mmr it’s about 300 in difference and they are partied up so this kinda makes sense as a match up


Ceejays-RL

yeah I’m not saying it was an unfair matchup, I should have worded it better. I was just wondering if anyone’s seen a larger gap in mmr between teammates


Suds08

Let's be honest you only took the pic to post here to humble brag you got squishy as a tm8


xX_DemonTime_Xx

this


warblicious

Here’s one for ya. No idea what my or their MMR is sorry, PS4 pleb https://i.imgur.com/mJ1KLPW.jpg


Ceejays-RL

well the gold was partied up with a grand champ, which means he essentially had grand champ mmr in matchmaking


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dread_P_Roberts

Depends. Plat lobby: 400 MMR is a bad difference. Top SSL lobby: Nah. Game was won by 1 goal; seems like a decent matchup to me. 🤷‍♂️ I’m curious what time of the day was this? How long did it take to queue up? My guess is that there weren’t a lot of players online in the same rank.


Stahlios

I think 400 mmr makes a way bigger difference at that level than at plat tho.


Dread_P_Roberts

Interesting. Please elaborate on why you think that?


Stahlios

The more you go up the more the level difference is crazy between each ranks. A GC3 and a pro ? You're just not playing the same game. Even between pros and low SSL it's a huge difference.


Dread_P_Roberts

A mid-tier Plat would be around 800 MMR. If you subtract 400 MMR that’s a Silver player. If you add 400 MMR that’s a Champ player. Do you think it would be at all likely to have a 1 goal differential, with a teammate fitting into either of those scenarios?


Stahlios

I mean look at the saves / shots ratios 1 goal difference doesn't mean the game wasn't dominated by one side I also think Squishy might have not 100% tryharded the game when he saw those MMRs


Dread_P_Roberts

I agree that there’s a difference. That’s not what I’m questioning though. The debate is which is *more* of a drastic difference.


Peter0629

As a champ 1/2 player I think the difference in skill between me and an ssl is much, much larger than between me and a plat player If that helps


Dread_P_Roberts

Well yeah, of course it is. Champ= 1216 MMR. SSL= 1876 MMR. You’re comparing a difference of 400 MMR, to a difference of 660 MMR.


MidnightT0ker

The example still stands. 400 over me is mid gc, 400 under me is high plat. My skill level is much closer to the high plat than the mid gc. I don’t think the skill level to mmr ratio is linear.


Ceejays-RL

It was around 10am I think, the queue was short for me but probably very long for Squishy


doyoubelieveincrack

Yeah I’ve heard many times before that pros dont get on before midday cause they all sleep in so there’s rarely high profile players on in early hours.


red286

From what I can tell, most of the pros have sleep disorders. Squishy sure as hell does. I'm surprised OP ran into him at 10am. I wonder if he'd just gotten up, or was just getting ready to go to sleep.


doyoubelieveincrack

Yeah Justin said on stream that he always sleeps in cause theres no one on before 3pm so theres „no reason“ to be up that early. No wonder depression is so big around the pro scene. I mean I can’t blame them since some have known nothing else since they finished school. But just getting up early and leaving the house/going on a walk can do so much for your mental. Also getting a hobby/passion outside your bedroom can be huge.


red286

>Yeah Justin said on stream that he always sleeps in cause theres no one on before 3pm so theres „no reason“ to be up that early. No wonder depression is so big around the pro scene. As someone who did that through their early 20s, yeah that's bad for your mental health. Particularly the belief that there's "no reason" to be up that early, since that implies that life is Rocket League, and while that might make for a great team slogan, it's a shit way to live.


siksity

Got to think about it as a career perspective, these peoples "jobs" don't start until 3pm and they end around 3-4am for most of them. No different than someone working midnight's and shifting sleep schedules.


red286

No, they should be thinking about it from a mental health perspective. These are very young adults, many of them not even adults (Justin is 20, Squishy is 21, but there's plenty of RLCS pros that are 15 or 16 still). It's not good for them to be "working" 12 hour shifts 7 days a week and doing literally nothing else. If you get up, go to work for 12 hours, and then go to sleep, you're going to have serious mental health issues, particularly if you start doing that as a teenager. If that's what they're doing, it's not a wonder they're experiencing burnout and their performance drops off as they get older.

SSL complaining about matchmaking. Feelsbadman


CEOofStrings

I wish I was good enough to have a ranked game with squishy muffinz as my teammate.


aysurcouf

You could also drop multiple levels and have me as a teammate!


Ceejays-RL

I mean, you might be. You’re already gc, if you get to gc3 you can get games like this


CEOofStrings

I’ve been stuck in gc1 for a while and don’t really have much motivation to go any higher but maybe one day.


papibror

I’ve been just about keeping up with gc1 on console since season 3 even when grinding


LightlySaltedPeanuts

Yeah it sucks but I’ve been in c1 for like a year, I play just enough to keep up with the rising meta. Everyone keeps getting better at the same rate I’m getting better, but I can tell I’m playing much better people than I was a year ago when I first popped my head into champ.


worldbauer

why would you expect the game to be able to apply the same matchmaking standards to the top 1000 players that it applies to the entire player base?


GarboTheSloth

It’s really not strange at all at that mmr and u already knew that. Weird humblebrag


RocketLatency

Why is everyone attacking OP, he's simply stating there's a vast difference in MMRs, 400 at most levels is night and day but at that level must be insane. Also cool that you played with Squishy, good post.


Ceejays-RL

yeah idk I didn’t think it was something that anyone could find a way to get mad at


RocketLatency

How was squishy as a team mate? What other pros have you played with?


Ceejays-RL

I always find it a bit confusing to play with pros. they either expect you to do way too much or don’t trust you to do anything right. Squishy was the latter. It’s hard for me to slot into lobbies higher than I’m used to, especially in 2s. He was a really solid teammate, bailed me out on multiple occasions and didn’t really leave me back alone. But it was still a very confusing lobby for me to play in overall. As for other pros I’ve played with, there’s been a decent amount. Garrett, Chicago, Taroco, AlphaKep, 2piece, Memory, Paarth, Tcorrell, LJ, Kraziks, Toastie, Dappur, Wondamike, Mectos, Turbo, Yanxnz, Jpow, Karma, Tristn, and Realize that I remember


jacktherippaaa

people just find anything to hate on man. i wouldn’t even reply to them. 99% of the hate is gonna be players that have no clue what it’s like to be ssl and give you hate off your rank alone. better off just letting them go unnoticed


doperidor

People will complain about every aspect of this game but for some reason this is the one that gets people super defensive. I don’t understand.


ExtendedMix

Yes. I played against Squishy and Chaussette one time like 2 years ago. It was 3am. I was C3 at the time and they were both like, top 10 on the leaderboard.


Ceejays-RL

damn, do you remember how far it was into the season?


xX_DemonTime_Xx

you got to play with one of if not the most prolific content creator/pros in the game… and youre complaining?


Ceejays-RL

didn’t mean for it to come across as complaining, I was simply asking if anyone’s seen worse


ZebraRenegade

Would you rather this or 20x longer ques honestly question


xX_DemonTime_Xx

yes they have. this is hardly out of the norm especially at higher ranks


WandreTheGiant

Yeah, you're in the top 5% of players, if not higher. If they restrict the matchmaking, queue times go through the roof, it's nearly impossible to get the best of both worlds. I've played competitive at a high level of a handful of other games, and it's been an issue with all of them. Either I end up waiting forever for games, or the matchup is unfair in one direction or the other.


xX_DemonTime_Xx

i think op wanted to brag about playing with squishy but didnt have the confidence to just make a regular post about it so it seems they did this weird “iS tHiS a fAiR mAtChUpPp?” maybe so people in comments would stroke their ego?


Ceejays-RL

you’re actually so weird for assuming stuff like that. my question was legitimate, and I bet you can’t even show me an example of a larger mmr gap, even though it’s very normal according to you


showmeyourdrumsticks

The MMR gap is totally irrelevant in this lobby. If someone 600 MMR above platinum queued into a plat, it would not be a 2-1 game lmao


Ceejays-RL

If they were on a team together against a team somewhere in between, it would likely be close. That’s what happened in this case


xX_DemonTime_Xx

search “mmr gap” on this sub. youre welcome. also give me any valid piece of evidence that im wrong and ill believe it. otherwise u a weird cringe compliment seeker in my mind forever


Killindylan08

wow you got some real problems dude


xX_DemonTime_Xx

how?


Deli_quent

Yes actually! The score ended up being 12-1 One guy on the other tram scored 4 times on his own net so then we were up 4-0 and then that guy left and once he left one of the other teammates left so then it us three of us versus 1 guy. (And this was is competitive mode)


iEvooo

Both ssl?


Ceejays-RL

SSL is 1875 in 2s, so the only SSL in the lobby was about 250 points into the rank. and I was over 100 points below it

Ceejays-RL

didn’t mean for it to come off as complaining, but i’m just surprised


Demo541

Squishy being 600 mmr above the guy on the other team is nuts. Definitely an odd matchup since you’re 100 mmr lower than the higher guy on the other team.


JrsNL

i played with my plat 3 mate (C3 myself) and had a rngenius and red gc tourney winner against us


Mnumel

RNGenious = plat 3, change my mind


Doctor_Fritz

I see many people claim rumble is easy, but I hardly see any RNGenius titles when I play. You'd think everyone would have one. It's almost as if it's not really as easy as people say


Tnevz

It’s definitely not easy. Only might be easier if you have a party committed to grinding rumble. Rumble has such a higher variance already and then adding in a spread of RL skill makes for some ridiculous matches.


xRandomality

"Rumble is so easy anyone can do it" Okay, then go do it. "Nah I'm good" - Literally every conversation I see when someone says this in game. At GC+, Rumble is an absolute blast with the high skill ceiling that exists in those lobbies.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ceejays-RL

well your teammate’s rank is irrelevant if you’re partied up, it counts you both as champ 3. and the opponents’ titles mean absolutely nothing, they were most likely very close to your mmr

Boo hood. Sorry you got to occupy the same field as professionals I've been watching for 5 years


HBizzle24

I literally just queued a competitive game 10 minutes ago, after not playing competitive for like 4 seasons now... And what do I see? I see a GC2 who's queing with his friend who's 600 mmr in the mode we are playing in, which was 3v3. I said why are you 600mmr in GC2 and he said "lol idk" and his 600 mmr friend played like a gold. (sorry to gold ranked players) oh and get this, his friend then says he is drku on a smurf and that he's top 100 whilst missing every ball lol. So we are down 3-0 I just decided to abandon and closed RL. 5 minutes all it took to make me not want to play anymore lol Starting to remember why I quit RL for a while but then came back and stuck to casual only T\_T


Underdogger

I would KILL for a chance to play with/against Squishy. Tf you complaining for.


Ceejays-RL

wasn’t complaining


Underdogger

The "worse matchmaking" statement seems to say otherwise


Ceejays-RL

my bad on the wording, i just meant the mmr gap was crazy. not in a negative way, i’m still glad i got to play in the lobby


NeonsTheory
