Is this a Grand Champion or Rocket League Pro?

Can you spot the difference between a Grand Champion, Supersonic Legend, and Pro RLCS Rocket League player? I hosted a 10,000 credit competition on my stream to test if the community could really tell the difference between these very difference skill levels like they said they could.

You might have seen Rocket League guess the rank videos. It's something that's been done many times by Rocket League YouTubers. I had a theory that it's much harder to guess the difference between high ranks than it is to guess low ranks. I created this 10,000 credit kahoot competition to test that theory. You can participate along in the video to see how you compare to the rest of Twitch chat. If you'd like to participate in competitions like these in the future, follow my Twitter and Twitch! I always announce my competitions there before I do them.

  • I really could not tell the difference between gc and ssl, but I think pro play is pretty recognizable by the coordination between the teammates. They're in comms and practice together all the time, so like some of the passes are dead giveaways (or like one of them the player turned away from a nice ball when the teammate went up)

    Once kaydop did a "guess my rank" stream/video. One of the replay was him playing ranked 2s at 2200mmr. He guessed himself GC1/2, so yeah, we all suck at guessing ranks
  • @Peculiar2
    33 people thought Sunless was a pro player, yeah I think you are right when you say we're bad at guessing ranks...
  • Just a quick appreciation of the „mute, unmute“ throughout the video to differentiate between commentary and voice over. It’s nice to see how much thought he puts into viewer experience every time, it’s the small things. Keep it up! 😁
  • @ChrysGaines
    As a GC level streamer, this hits home 😂 People always hop into stream, watch 1 minute of gameplay, and the the first thing out of their mouth is “there’s no way ur gc”. There are so many different ways to play and win in this game, you need to watch a player for way longer to really get an accurate gauge of where they are ranked.
  • @TeddyGoali
    I think this would be interesting to do with 2s and 1s as well. Also, maybe do it with an audience of strictly GC or higher, and see how they perform. I feel like people are more accurate at guessing ranks around theirs.
  • @A_VorteX
    I love how Wayton said multiple times that he mixed up the items but I see some guys in the chat saying "alpha boost" or "gc car design", some people just don't pay attention.
  • @Kelvenocity
    imagine the gcs ego after 68 people thought he was ssl
  • @tomdolben
    4:50 "platinum because his mechanics are god" Nothing more true than that.
  • @Frank_D14
    The final one was the easiest for me. The willingness to go with 0 boost is a dead give away. GC and SSL would have been to scared with 0 boost for so long
  • @otaroishida1784
    Hey great idea! Would love to see a 2nd episode, maybe with one guest who could guess the rank and explain, with a focus on EXPLANATIONS. I think it would allow us to better reconise what makes the difference between pros and GCs. Love from France
  • @gmseven4150
    This taught me that I really ought to watch pro gameplay from one camera angle more. All the casted stuff is from multiple angles, and it makes everything so frantic and fast-paced. When you watch from just one perspective, you can see how the pros slow down and bide their time occasionally. Thanks, Wayton.
  • @atomickrispies
    I made GC1 for the first time last season and came to 2 conclusions: 1- The skill gap between C2 and GC1 is honestly non-existent. I run into equally (in)competent players in all 3 of those ranks and outside of more consistent rotations there's basically no difference in my eyes. 2- The skill gap between GC1 and GC2+ is MASSIVE. That is the rank where you need to start being mechanically/rotationally "perfect". So yall need to remember if someone brags about being a GC but they are somehow in your ranked game there's a very strong chance they are only GC1 and tell them that there's nothing special about that.
  • @RyanGoldfishTV
    Lol, for the Turbo one, I literally said, this is either a GC or it's Turbopolsa. Absolutely nailed it!
  • On the turbo one I literally said “this is either a gc or a pro who plays really slow and patient” it’s so hard to tell when you can’t see nameplates because positioning in pro play makes it stand out so much.
  • @matiyoperso4733
    It was a very good tournament, gg to all participants and thanks again to wayton for organizing this tournament !
  • @Koppakuoriainen
    Next video: Pro, SSL and GC vs Pro, SSL and GC in a regular 3vs3 to see if we can spot who is who. Or even if both teams can spot who is the PRO, SSL, GC in the other team. I can't spot the difference in games above my rank but it would be cool to have a video that shows how much better a SSL is against a GC and do i dare to say "suck" compared with a pro?
  • @roro1826
    small things like the mute vs audio on illustration is what makes wayton great content creator, keep it up bro
  • @swift8821
    Great video, you proved that one minute of gameplay isn’t enough to judge a player’s rank.
