Why did it turn into a square I swear my head isn't that flat
One guess as to who inspired the choice in glasses

Happy retirement and congrats on a phenomenal career Garrett

Looking at my calendar and completely forgot I added Frosty's 38th day with SSG to it

Closing thoughts: everyone seems to agree that Rocket League has some insane potential, and if it could be capitalized on it could be the bridge between traditional sports and esports

Going to a model without teams (especially ones who've been here for years) is not the way to make this happen

"We need to do a lot more outside the game"

Coming from the CEO of an org that is doing the most for out of game content in the RLCS
November 21, 2024 at 7:59 PM
Considering how messy FIFAe has been, Ferra has a lot of faith in it
November 21, 2024 at 7:54 PM
Was Ruler on GenG during the Asian games? I thought Peyz was there at the time

I also know now that Ruler to GenG is official for 2025 but was it when this podcast happened or was that an accidental leak?
November 21, 2024 at 7:49 PM
Ferra's process for deciding the French team sounds exactly like what it is in international soccer actually

6 players got called up, 3 get the start. Unfortunately because the tournament only allows 3 players we won't know who got called up and they won't get to travel, but love the methodology
November 21, 2024 at 7:46 PM
FIFAe has been described as "the flagship of the offseason" by brendypls (owner of Chiefs ESC) and we've had players turn down invites for USA and a cancelled qualifier for Australia.

Was not worth losing a whole RLCS split

"Players read your contracts, cause orgs are gonna start enforcing them. Other owners are probably upset I said that"

WILD that this is a viable statement lmfao

Arnold is asking for a longer season

Felt like last year we were begging for only 2 splits cause the season was too long, now that we've had it for a year we're done with it lmao

Should've been more vocal back then, but yeah wishing we had less RLCS really backfired bigtime
November 21, 2024 at 7:25 PM
Arnold suggesting there be a competition for who can sell the most decals, have a leader board and everything

This feels very much like something the orgs can do themselves though? Didn't the whole "buy the SEN bundle" come from them?

Would love to see players/orgs campaigning for this more

Viewing esports more as a retention tool than reaching new viewers...

I downloaded rocket league in 2016. Played on and off for 3 years before finding RLCS, then played constantly

I didn't get the game because of RLCS, but I'm certainly here as much as I am because of it
November 21, 2024 at 7:05 PM
With this whole decal discussion I can't help but think how much Sypical has helped the SSG brand

If Epic allowed SSG to just do an exact replica of their original decal for 2025 they could fund their roster for the whole year
November 21, 2024 at 6:51 PM
I'm obviously not at the highest level but I get wanting to drive a whole different car. Switching decals between the same car type I've never felt much difference, but I tried to use the Honda civic after being hired by a Honda supplier but I could not play the same in that car
November 21, 2024 at 6:48 PM
"Orgs highlight the stories better"

I can promise you that I would've never watched Rainbow6 if SSG weren't in it. I wouldn't have bought an Xbox to play Halo Infinite if SSG wasn't in HCS.

How many KCorp fans have picked up Rocket League because of their RLCS team?
November 21, 2024 at 6:44 PM
"We need stars to inspire people"

I know I'm in a bit of an echo chamber with this, but how many games have I started playing because of the esport?

If you wanna make esports a marketing tool you need your star players and your fun storylines, just hosting tournaments for money only does so much

"Following in fortnite's failed footsteps" my goodness Arnold did not pull punches there
November 21, 2024 at 6:30 PM
The salary discussions of OCE being impacted by orgs coming over is also super important. PWR is definitely the biggest org but chiefs disappeared for a while and Ground Zero had a more developmental roster this year

Without broadcasts I can't imagine trying to run an org down there
November 21, 2024 at 6:19 PM
Arnold in the beginning has already been awesome, mentioning the 6 month break and lack of clarity surrounding next matches

Not surprising at all that Retals would interact with the fans on the discord and its pretty apparent that both him and GenG understand the importance of building the brand

YouTube VOD is up for Chalked Cast so gonna thread some thoughts together on what's said as I listen to it for the first time
