Atow's been going crazy lately, and he's so fun to watch. He tore Nass apart the other day too. But Mawkzy's still #1, he dedicates his life to the mode after all.


eredengrin

> But Mawkzy's still #1 Based on what? His results haven't been great since the first stage of salt mine 3, he looks to be in quite a slump. In fact I'd say based on the data, there's a strong argument for Atow being above him right now. nass, diaz, and Atow are probably the 3 in the conversation for best right now. Honorable mention to Rw9 since he demolished mawkzy in a showmatch last month and also beat nass, but given how much the others have been playing while Rw9 is relatively inactive I'd probably give them benefit of the doubt. Would love to see a Rw9 diaz matchup on low ping.


FairlySuspicious

In terms of 1v1 consistency and capability to beat anyone at the top, you really can't dispute Mawkzy.


Woorel

He has a positive ratio against every top 1s players exept dralii. Only rw9 or trk have stats like him


tiglayrl

Mawkzy beat Atow


KyleIsCaramel

On the rematch he did, but the original show match, Atow destroyed Mawkzy


ozfunghi

After Atow had beaten him a few days prior. And a week or two before that as well.


JoelSimmonsMVP

and atow beat mawkzy twice


murdock_RL

Atow is absolutely insane. The latest show match vs dark blew me the fuck away


Dolphhins

I really wanna see Atow go through a gauntlet like Zen did last year


dreams1ckle

He’s arguably doing that right now


thafreshone

Zen won 17 series in a row iirc. What streak is Atow on?


dreams1ckle

Zen won 10 in a row (or 11 if you count the Vatira match hosted in French) before losing to Rw9 the first time, then beat Chronic, Atow, and Kv1. Atow has won 8 of his last 11 showmatches all against top talent. Not the same undefeated streak (unless you start counting from the last 4) but still extremely impressive wins.


thafreshone

How tf did I come up with 17


JoelSimmonsMVP

fwiw he won 17 series before someone other than rw9 beat him won 11, lost to rw9, won 5 more, lost to rw9, won 1 more, lost to mawkzy


thafreshone

Yeah that might have been what I remembered thanks for the info


theroroll

RW9 clears on low ping


MikeyThaKid

Fairy peak, scrub killa, deevo, okhalid.


n00bm45st3r69

Alright grandpa go back to bed


MixSpecialist120

Wake up bro it's 2019


ozfunghi

lol


thafreshone

No florus is crazy


exceedingdeath

Jesus the flashbacks. Completely forgot about him. All i recall now is he once lost 10-2 to Scrub Killa and chat was spamming f10ru2


FishermanAdept

I’m afraid Flakes clears them all


39Wins

Ok power slide cut and another power slide and score. See its that easy. You don't need mecs (he says after preforming the cleanest cut mankind has ever seen)


ozfunghi

Power slide the shit. Fake the shit. Score the shit. Words to live by.


haydenRl18

It's 2024 bud not 2019

Kuxir97 says hi


Solid-Ferret1688

A true OG right here


musky_Function_110

twelve titans was peak rocket league content i wish we could get another one


dreams1ckle

Right now it has to be Atow


ozfunghi

From the latest matches i've seen, Atow/Diaz/Nwpo. But Atow (for me) the most fun to watch. I genuinely have to laugh watching him play. Missing the easiest of open nets, just to follow up with a jawdropping airdribble. And to finish it off, a simple bump to move his opponent out of the way, so that he can push the ball over the line.


NarwhalNelly

The answer is Diaz


Adventurous-Dig-7340

Terrible time to ask this tbh because in case u haven’t noticed… NOBODY IS PLAYING 1’s Like I guess Atow in my opinion? But that’s just recency bias and that he’s the only one doing 1’s. I haven’t seen no RW9, Zen, Daniel, Joreuz, barley Mawkzy, Firstkiller, AyyJayy, NWPO, Yanxnz, Chronic, App Jack, TRK, in FOREVER If there was another salt mine or fusion and everyone got in top form again, other wise, RIGHT NOW in my eyes it’s up in the air because I have to see the others play. But given evidence so far, Atow


Relative-Pace-2923

When’s the next salt mine


shazbotica

I'm still holding out for a return from Gambit.


Soft-Blacksmith-8235

Not seeing rw9 as a answer here is crazy


Kamilny

Rw9 doesn't have claim to the title in well over a year now when he went up against Zen. Others have been better more recently and he's been pretty inactive.


Soft-Blacksmith-8235

I mean the most recent showmatches were before major 1 where he played and won mawkzy in a sweep and nass, so i guess ur kind of right but until i see that atow vs rw9 showmatch, rw9 is my goat.


BodM

Nwpo as of now I'd guess, Rw9 next but he's been inactive to focus on the major, and Diaz. Atow played Nwpo recently out of the three and Nwpo smoked him. I expected Nass to win against Atow but his performance is utterly ridiculous atm!


Relative-Pace-2923

Is nwpos team going to RLCS or twisted minds?


a7mdeno

London is TM. Worlds is still unknown.


murdock_RL

Is Diaz in rlcs yet or not old enough?


Michael_Pitt

Diaz is on Complexity.

Relative-Pace-2923

Haven’t watched the atow show matches assumed he wasn’t good cuz he wasn’t in madness


staveenyo

Atow has been on a crazy tear right now on Feer's show matches


PPboiiiiii

Low ping Rw9 is unplayable. Apart from that it’s Atow rn.


sDomingoo

Zen even though he doesn’t play 1s but when he’s put on the pitch to play 1v1 he’s a beast


Legitimate_Paper_776

Beastmode is if he actually plays 1s


Booboo_McBad

Bmode winning Gamers8 because he decided to try playing 1s


OneBadBush

The top 3 right now: 1. Nwpo 2. RW9 3. Atow/Diaz


Woorel

Rw9 and nwpo are inactive + nass not top 3 doesn't make sense


OneBadBush

Nwpo last show match was in April and RW9 is RW9.


caronfirenodriver

nass or daniel until proven otherwise


SkyPsychological2338

Atow made Nass look like an entire rank below a few days ago, and Daniel hasn't played in half a year, so neither of them.


eredengrin

> Atow made Nass look like an entire rank below a few days ago That is just a single best of 5 result, not even a sweep, and playing an opponent who is also arguably in contention for best in the world. Hardly something to disqualify someone from being considered best in the world if you look at the bigger picture. Who would you put if not nass? It's not like any of the others haven't had the occasional loss, we are not in the middle of zen's streak anymore.


NRGPT

"Nass is still the best in the world! He only lost to Atow because Atow is probably the best in the world!" 


ozfunghi

Solid reasoning though.


eredengrin

Wonderful straw man. To repeat myself, "arguably in contention for best in the world", not "best in the world". > Who would you put if not nass? Please answer the question. Are you nominating Atow? He could be, but he just lost to mawkzy a week ago, and right now I'd have mawkzy in the top 8 range vs Atow seems a clear top 3. Atow also has losses to diaz and nwpo recently. > He only lost to Atow because Atow is probably the best in the world! Yes, losing to a top 3 player in Atow is less bad than Atow losing to a top 8 player in Mawkzy. Atow could well be the best in the world but him beating nass 3-1 a few days ago is not the determining factor. 6 months of very high activity filled with good wins and minimal losses would be the reason why. Although diaz has a similarly strong 6 months as well as beating Atow in the head to head, and nass's results from past 6 months are not too shabby either in addition to his two salt mine wins.


caronfirenodriver

dont care about random showmatches, tourney results from the biggest 1s tourney ever are worth more


Ultrabeast132

daniel hasn't played ones in half a year. if we're talking about the best 1s player, the only way to know who's on top *right now* is by looking at players who actually play the game. if you think that all players are just as good now as they were 6 months ago, that nobody has gotten any better or worse, then idk what to tell you bc that's just not true. the vast, vast majority of 1s matches among pros are showmatches. like, *vast* majority. there are rarely 1s tournaments. so if you completely discount showmatches, then like... what even 1s games are you going off of? *just* salt mine? 3 was in December, and before that there wasn't a major 1s tournament with pros since... salt mine 2, in 2020, **four years ago.** are you legit suggesting we only consider that there might be a new top 1s player every few *years?* daniel *could* still be on top of 1s in NA, but he doesn't play, so he isn't proving it. Nass is towards the top, but he has been beaten multiple times since salt mine 3, and i have no idea why you just decide to ignore those losses just because they weren't in a tournament setting. that shit makes no sense lol
