Hello, welcome to the Rocket Baguette channel.
Let us first wish you a very happy new year,
full of happiness, good health, aerials...
but most of all, we wish that, in 2017,
you will never lack boost anymore.
Welcome to the Baguette Flash, the weekly report about the RL competitive scene.
Summary this week: ESL GO4 #75,
the first of the year, Friday's Gfinity, the last of the year,
then we'll talk about two other tourneys, where the French have done great:
the Rewind Gaming and the NA Nexus Gaming.
As usual, we'll finish with the latest transfer market news.
Let's start with GO4 #75 that was played this Sunday, January 1st,
live with Rocket Baguette on Twitch channel esl_rocketleague_fr.
At 4th place comes Parallax.
British xtremechump was with the German Alex161 and Zeddo.
In ¼, Parallax defeated Almost Quality,another German team
that had beaten the French Royal Air Force.
It is our wonderful game of the week, you can watch the VOD
it's worth it.
In the semis, Parallax lost to Team Brexit,
who appeared strong again, after last week's final.
3rd place, another German team.
Team Enjoy also had a nice run.
ln RO32, they beat the French Steeline and the Italian Uncle Pig in ¼ finals.
Enjoy was Gnagflow06 and Mumuli & DNL, who substituted for Classic and Wass-Mann.
Surprisingly, Enjoy was beaten in the semis by My Little Pony,
with the British LJourney and the Swedish Zidr0x and Rivalo Nero.
In the finals, Team Brexit started the right way, winning the first 3 games.
FreaKi was solid in defense, while Stocki and Frag formed a nice offensive duo,
with several beautiful goals.
Zidr0x and his teammates eventually lifted their chins up,
winning 2 games and bringing the series to 3-2,
but Team Brexit will finish the job.
They won game 6 and the series: 4-2.
Team Brexit wins GO4 #75.
They're the first Rocket League tournament winners of 2017.
By the way, we have the names of 7 out of the 8 teams that will compete
for the ESL December Champion title.
Get Wigglytuff'd is seed #1, Pure Excellence (ex Uniquestars) is seed #2…
For 8th place, Aeriality and Team Brexit will play a tie-breaker.
Whoever wins, ESL Monthly will be hype, with a first round between
Get Wigglytuff'd – seed #1 - and the winner of this game – seed #8.
It will be live on esl_rocketleague_fr twitch, at 7 pm CET on Monday, Jan. 9th.
Casted by Rocket Baguette, of course :)
Let's go back in time to 2016, with the
last major tournament of 2016: Friday's Gfinity.
After their wonderful performances last week,
the trio Kaydop, Fairy Peak and Bluey trio competed again under the name of Baguettes.
That's the team name Kaydop generally uses in Gfinity tourneys.
Unfortunately, they couldn't do better than 1/2, they surprisingly lost to Leaf e-Sp.
In the other semi-finals, there was YES,
a dream-team formed of Turbopolsa, Deevo and Scrubkilla.
They beat Enjoy then faced PENTA...
and lost 3-0, straight.
FreaKii, Pwndx and Killerno7 were simply unstoppable.
Their teamplay, well-proven, helped them win easily
against three excellent players, that aren't playing consistently together.
Seeing Leaf e-Sport in the finals was clearly a surprise.
Composed of GMS, Mewyy and Krazack,
they had an excellent run, beating Reunited in 1/4 and Baguettes.
But they just faced a team in great form.
Before YES, they won against FeelsGuddieLuddiMan,
a team with NA GarretG, Al0t and Sikii.
PENTA kept going in the Finals.
FreaKii, Pwndx and Killerno7 were on fire and swept Leaf e-sports 4-0.
They prove once more their good momentum
Interesting fact: FreaKii won both the last tournament of 2016
and first tournament of 2017. Well played.
Let's speak of a new EU tournament, of which the 1st edition was held on Friday,
at the same time than Gfinity.
It's called Rewind Gaming, 16 teams were competing,
and a French Team won.
Team Yoghurt, made of Breker, former Luminance,
Bomba, another French rising talent, and Swiss Ikewolf.
They beat ERZ Gaming in the Grand Finals,
a team we usually see in advanced rounds of ESL GO4.
They almost made it into the December Monthly Finals.
In the end, Team Yoghurt won 3-0, including 2 overtime wins.
Congrats to Breker, Bomba and Ikewolf,
who win the $15 cash-prize. A small but real amount.
In the night of December 31st, for us Europeans,
was held the last NA tourney of 2016:
Nexus Gaming, with a $150 cash-prize.
Once more, Team Yoghurt made it to the Finals.
This time, Bomba and Ikewolf were with Ferra, other Luminance former player.
They faced Team Spork, formed of Kronovi,
Klassux and Torment. What a team!
Our European team was the challenger, not to mention the ping disadvantage.
They still managed to take one game, but they lost 4-1.
It was still a nice performance,
and we're delighted to see French players succeeding in international cups.
That it for the competitive news. Let's move on to the transfer market news.
Nothing really happened this week. No big announcement for new teams.
There are a lot of free agents, it would be too long to mention them all.
The players are probably waiting for Psyonix's next communication.
We're waiting for RLCS season 3
and for ingame ranking season 4.
There is no doubt that when there's a registration deadline for next RLCS,
teams will start to form officially. Psyonix, it's your turn now.
Here's a few pieces news, this week:
The German team Firewall signed a partnership with Atlas org.
From now on, their team will be called Atlas Firewall.
After their great run this week in GO4 #75,
Zidr0x, Rivalo Nero and Journey have officially decided to form a team.
However, they're not keeping My Little Pony as a team name. Dunno why.
Team name to be announced.
That's it for Baguette Flash #9.
Thanks for watching, hope you liked the show.
You may have noticed, the show has evolved a lot lately,
so feel free to leave some comments.
Next time will be this Sunday, with GO4 #76, starting at 3 pm on esl_rocketleague_fr.
We'll also be live on Monday, starting 7 pm CET, for ESL Monthly finals.
Take care, see ya!
