As all the pros head off to Madrid for the RLCS Season 8 LAN finals, we run through the bracket to make our predictions. We also cover the drama of Aeon being kicked from RGB Esports and let the hate flow through us.

The season for G2 has been a turbulent one, but they managed to survive RLCS 8 relegation by beating RLRS' Charlotte Phoenix and NA's finest Cloud 9. Alongside the esports drama, a new update has replaced crates with blueprints and keys with credits, but is it too expensive or should you just max out your mum's credit card?

CJCJ, a.k.a. our Australian best mate, gives us insight into how the OCE RLCS is run differently compared to NA & EU. We also address the elephant in the room of Chiefs not making LAN in Madrid with Drippay & Express, and he lets us know his viewing party plans. Oh, also we can confirm he would NOT fight a kangaroo. A wallaby is fair game, however.

For EU guys like us, Pittsburgh Knights/The Peeps came seemingly out of nowhere. They quickly tore up the Rival Series and then moved on to winning Dreamhack Montreal, taking down Mousesports, Renault Vitality and G2 Esports along the way. After finishing 2nd at Regionals, Retals has joined us to explain his carefully crafted toxic persona and his "beef" with Turbopolsa.

Kronovi; the man, the myth, the mountain. He's been with Rocket League since before it was even created, way back in the bygone era of like 2010 or something mental. Rising to prominence after his montage went viral and dominating the early scene with Gibbs and SadJunior has formed one of the most iconic Rocket League players ever. Season 8 of RLCS has proven to be hard, but is finishing the season above Cloud 9 and G2 enough to satiate his competitive side?

The Upside-Down from Stranger Things has taken over RL Esports as Cloud 9 and G2 find themselves in danger of relegation. Will they be able to survive, or as SunlessKhan would say, are "ROSTER CHANGES" on the way? ViolentPanda from the RLCS World Championship winning team gives his thoughts on the season, his position vs Mousesports going into the playoffs and who exactly will make it to LAN in Madrid.

What is it that keeps Rocket League alive? The new mechanics discovered by the likes of Squishy? The content delivered by the RLCS casters? Maybe the toxicity on Twitter from Retals? For Mousesports Speed, it's classically just blueberry cheesecake from McDonalds and hanging out with Al0t and Kuxir that keeps him going. From Gfinity Elite Series sub to #1 in EU going into week 5, we delve into the psyche of what makes a boy from Norwich climb the ranks of pro RL.

At no point during week 3 did we feel at all comfortable with what was happening. Cloud 9 went 0-2 and are in 7th place, Pittsburgh Knights are in 2nd and NRG are the only unbeaten team in North America. To help us make sense of the Rocket League, but to scramble our brains about literally everything else, NRG's newest member Turbopolsa provided us with a trip into his mind.

Week 2 of RLCS has concluded and we are joined by the Danish unit himself, Reciprocity's Fruity! Topics such as EU > NA, Turbo getting NA MVP and Stumpy's "Player of the Weak" (get it?) are tackled by the boys.

There's few things that give us that lusted after hit of dopamine in our lives. The birth of a child, the success of a loved one, and knowing what the God damn floor plan for RLCS is ahead of time. We explain the issues we had with booking our seats for Season 8 LAN in Madrid, our thoughts on the Spanish only casting, plans for #Team104 and then we get into week 1 of RLCS League Play. Please note: "Player of the Weak" is spelled like this. Trust me, it's relevant to the episode.
