4/26/2023 0 Comments Arsenal rocket leagueI had a few misunderstandings with the org, and I wanted what was best for me, and I wasn’t sure that staying on PK was that.Ĭan you tell me a bit about moving into a team house with Arsenal?Īrsenal wanted to move out and I wanted to get away from Virginia for a bit-get away from my friends and be able to focus on Rocket League for this major, because I really wanted to do well with it. It wasn’t that I was actively looking to leave the Knights as a team. Were you actively looking to leave the Knights? Stoked to team with the best player in the world and one of my best friends in Sypical/Arsenal, while representing one of the best orgs in esports. We will be the best team in the world, just give me a tryout.” And I never shut up and it finally happened. I’ve been really close with Sypical and Arsenal, and I’ve always begged them to try me out: Like, “Give me a tryout, it’ll work. ![]() I was on 25 hours the past two weeks when Sypical messaged me like, “Yo, what’s up? We’re replacing AxB, do you want to try out?” And I dropped everything and started grinding the game as hard as I could, and that was basically it. I wasn’t getting on my PC I was just hanging out with friends. Near the end, probably three weeks before the trade window, I was super demotivated and wasn’t playing the game at all. I’ve talked about it quite a few times, but I tried out with five or six teams. So how did you end up coming to Spacestation Gaming in the offseason? I think the trade window is too short to really have any big changes, because contracts take a lot to set up, but the next split I think there will be quite a few in NA. I could see some changes with Rogue or maybe Envy, but I don’t think so. I did it on PK and old Peeps, as well, so it’s kind of just that I’m getting in the other team’s faces-and making their jobs harder and my teammates’ jobs easier.Īre you expecting any roster changes from the other big teams in NA before the next split? That’s kind of always been my playstyle on this team, and it works really well. My playstyle is to score when able to, but mostly just create space for them-let them do whatever they can, steal the other team’s boost, make them super awkward, and get in their heads. Don’t ask me why, because I have no idea, but I feel like it really does help.Īnd how do you fit into that, then, if they have more of a 2s mentality? They’re super-effective players just on their own, and it’s weird because they play a lot of 2s, right? Their playstyles kind of incorporate 2s more than anyone else, and I feel like that gives us an advantage somehow. I think it’s the fact that Sypical and Arsenal play more than anyone else. What do you think makes your team so effective together? THE DEFENSE HOLDS □ is heading the the North American #RLCS Regional Major Grand Finals! I’m not really sure what it is, but that is probably our most confident team to play against in the Top 5 or so. This split, we’re 8-1 against them or something, so we’ve just had their number. Were you feeling confident going up against NRG in the finals? So it was kind of just: Hey guys, let’s just calm down, let’s do what we were doing earlier and beat these guys the next two games. We had the skill to beat them, but for some reason, we were getting in our own head just trying to change our playstyle when it was already working. To be completely honest, it was kind of just a mental game against G2. ![]() Did you change strategy at all to finish out that series? You guys were down 3-2 against G2 in the semifinals, but managed to shut them out the last two games. We had really high expectations, so we’re not extremely surprised, but we’re definitely satisfied with our performance. Retals: It was something I was expecting coming into the season with Spacestation. ![]() Rocketeers: How does it feel to be the NA champs for the first split? NORTH AMERICAN #RLCS REGIONAL MAJOR CHAMPIONS □ takes down 4-2 to take home the title. The former Pittsburgh Knights standout was known for his aggressive play with PK, and now paired with a pair of mechanical masters in Caden “Sypical” Pellegrin and Tshaka “Arsenal” Lateef Taylor Jr, they’ve collectively taken things to another level against NA’s best.įollowing the Fall Major victory, Rocketeers caught up with Retals to get a view into their mentality during that winning run, why he signed with SSG, and the perks of moving in with Arsenal in Miami during the split. But Spacestation has rocketed into another stratosphere for RLCS X, and it comes on the back of signing Slater “Retals” Thomas during the offseason. SSG has been one of NA’s elite teams over the last year, including a Top 4 finish at Worlds in RLCS Season 8 in Madrid and finishing 2nd in NA in Season 9. Spacestation Gaming started the RLCS X Fall Split as the best team in North America and finished on top too, taking out NRG to win last weekend’s Fall Major in decisive fashion.
