Description

Rocket League is quite possibly the most mechanically difficult video game to ever exist, with the average professional player racking up more than 10,000 hours in-game and still finding ways to improve and raise the skill ceiling. Since Rocket League's release in 2015 the game has grown to become one of the most popular eSports in the world with exciting fast paced gameplay and an extremely unique concept, car soccer. So where does a player start if they intend to learning mechanics, positioning, strategy, and mindset, or they simply want to be better than their friends? That's where your personal coach Sparta comes in.

Elliott "Sparta" Csipkes has been a coach for Rocket League players and teams of all skill levels for more than 3 years. He has also clocked close to 3,500 hours of gameplay and has cracked the top 1000 in both 2v2 and 3v3 this year. Sparta uses his experience from personally climbing the ranks to empower his students in reaching their own goals.

Sparta's Rocket League guide focuses on the three most important aspects of the game.

Mechanics
- Ground and Aerial Car Control
- Specific Types of Shots (Air Dribble, Ceiling Shot, etc.)
- Boost Management
Positioning
- Offensive and Defensive Formations
- Proper Rotation
- Teammate Spacing
Improvement
- Practice Schedules
- Training Drills
- Hacks to Speedup Progression

Sparta has also added in-depth gameplay analysis of each rank to help explain the thought process and decision-making of a high-level player and coach in a way that can be applied to your own games.
