PC/PS4 Rocket League Season 1 - COMPLETE! Thanks to all who played!

if that means more Rocket League, then I'm in for a playoff.

double post

I'm not sure what the point of the PC playoffs are (besides playing more rl). Scheduling is a nightmare and the two 5-0 teams played and A1 dominated us so they're pretty clearly head and tails better than the other teams on the PC side. If you're talking about playing for second place then I guess we can do that?

I do want to keep playing on the ps4 side if there's a playoff because things are a lot closer over there. The only team I've heard back from on a playoff is Unnamed team and my team (MGR). Is anyone else alive over there?

Send me your champions.
I'm getting hungry.

DRC should be able to participate, our last regular season game is scheduled for this Thursday.

I haven't bothered to respond because my team (Caveman Mafia) wouldn't be participating in the playoffs, unless you're letting pretty much every team in.

I'm up for anything, though. I'm flexible like that.

Did you guys treat the Week 7 match as the championship? I had intended for us to do a 4 team playoff on PC side.

Really? That wasn't communicated at all, then. The last time a PC playoffs was mentioned was back on page 4 (emphasis mine):

At this rate, honestly, I think we just cancel the playoffs. This has really been like herding cats. No offense, of course; I mean, I get it. Communication can be hard.

There was a suggestion a few weeks ago where instead of doing a weekly league like this, we just all meet up over a weekend and spend the day playing rocket league, and people can just rotate in and out as needed. I think that would be a lot more fun.

On the PC side Rocket Mannes vs A1 for championship

On the PS4 side things are a lot closer, maybe a 4 team playoff between Unnamed Team, Rocket Squares, DRC and MGR?

Could we try doing a cross-platform playoffs instead?

I'd rather not, I've already been crushed by A1 once. Let the winner of the ps4 side play them if they want but at least let us get a ps4 winner first.

This is why you read the OP.

I wrote:

This is the second time we've rolled a week with no pending games, which is nice. It also gives us a clear playoff picture. As I mentioned before, the PS4 group seemed like they wanted a top-4 team playoff, and I'm perfectly willing to grant that. I'm also willing to grant the PC side the same playoff structure, if they want it. The downside to this is that three teams will be left out on the PS4 side, but the upside it that it ends the season faster. I'm envisioning increasing the matches to best of 5 as to prevent fluke victories during the playoffs.

Of course, I -did- qualify that with "if they want it," and it looks like none of you want it, so...

Congrats A1 From Day1 - we'll just do a PS4 playoff since that seems to be what they want. Also, for future reference, ignoring your commissioner is a bad idea.

You said this 5 days ago so we made plans to have one game between the undefeated teams, then all of the sudden yesterday the OP gets updated talking about playoffs. No one is ignoring you but we're getting some mixed signals here.

Regarding A1vRocket, we decided this week will be the finals and are playing a best of 5 Tuesday night. It may be streamed/casted. Let's get this in the books.

I maintain my proposal that tonight is the PC final between A1 and Rocket Mannes.

Any who shall oppose please state your opinion.

Was that really 5 days ago? Seems like it was longer.

I mean, look, if you wanted that to be the championship, we can run with that. It's really not big enough of a deal to get into it over.

Let me at least explain my thought process here:

We got lucky in terms of how the two undefeated teams managed to be the ones to play on the last week. If that had not happened, we would have needed to play a playoff anyway - I know I said "let's just cancel the playoffs" but there was enough interest - at least on the PS4 side - in having said playoffs that my stance softened.

I'll admit that I missed a lot of the discussion on the PC side, as I was dealing with an unexpected illness this week, so many of your comments, carrotpanic, were unknown to me when I went to update the OP. (Yes, I make mistakes - I'm new to this whole commissioning thing.) I was simply working off of "Well, the PS4 folks want a playoff, so we may as well do one on the PC side to keep things even." Of course, now that I know virtually -nobody- on the PC side wants a playoff, well, I stand corrected, and I apologize for any mixed messages. Like I said, new to commissioning.

I am hungry for new opponents, send me those.

Don't worry, we'll keep you well fed.

Xeknos, don't get discouraged. You're doing a fine job commissioning. If you're up for it, I think we should do a Season 2 and apply some lessons that we learned in Season 1.

Gumbie is right, let the PS4 folks crown a champion before they play us. It's more fun for everyone that way.

Season 2 can be a combined league. I see no reason not to combine now that we have the technology.

Ya what Free said.
You've done well, and if we can help formalize rules for this new, all gamers league in the post season, let us know.
We have ideas.
Or at least I do (like a fileshare for league games).

100% true

Thanks for the kind words, all. Let's see how the PS4 league shakes out.

LEAGUE CHAMPIONS SUPPORT COMMISSIONER.
CHOCOLATE STILL DELICIOUS.
MORE NEWS AT 11.

Thanks for the league Xeknos. It was fun, and I really enjoyed myself.

GG's to all, and good luck to the PS4 teams in the post season.

Man, I get lazy and get behind on this thread and miss all the excitement!

Word.

Metal Gear Rockets beat Rocket Squares 2-1.

After an initial thumping of 6-1 the first match, Rocket Squares upped their game beat us 3-2 the second game & give us a really good 3rd game were we won 2-1. Great games guys, nerves set in after that second match, really good performances from both teams those last two games.

Detroit Rocket City soundly beat Thrustmasters 2-0.

And then I instantly fell asleep.

I fixed that for ya, Spike.

I think Thrustmasters should play against the Rocket Liberation Front in Week 8. How else will we learn who is the greatest un-feated team in Rocket League history.

Jeez I'm posting all over the place by mistake!

I did crawl up the stairs first Newt

I can't wait for the playoffs!

Redundant Terror forfeits to BRHP, 1-0.

On PS4 side: Time Bandits still need to play Caveman Mafia, a game with no playoff implications.
