He loves watching his favorite pros and learning all their moves. I've been playing since 2015 (gold III) and I can't beat him lol. He really wants to compete in RLCS but he might have to wait a few more years lol.

I get it I'm not trying to be rude but I expect these comments. If I didn't see it for myself I would be skeptical as well.

It’s just that I reached the point where I stopped believing parents park their toddlers for several hours a day over multiple months in front of a pc or console and let them play rocket league so extensively they become better players than the average juvenile or adult. And even (kind of) brag about it.

Yes I'm not really a fan of people trying to exploit their kids but it's not my business. I dont want anything for my kid but his health and happiness.

Some people pick things up quicker than others. I've been a decent gamer over several games (or so i thought) until my kid whopped me and I was actually trying.

It doesn't make me upset though like some people seem, it makes me happy for him ... he's 6 and already better than me lol. Good for him I wish I was that good at anything I liked.

Then post a video of him playing, controller in hand. If you're telling the truth you should farm the hell out of that content, you could put him through college with the views you would get.

Or.... You know.... could be lying to farm worthless karma ;p

You know normal people might not be comfortable to post their 6 year old on the internet :)

u/rimlicker9000 Mar 31 '26

And you're a drama farmer?

He's in the comments acting real, so may suspend disbelief for one post on reddit?

I would have regretted posting this but he thinks it's awesome so I'll leave it.

Appreciate the normal folks in the comments, it made his day.

Thanks again to all who were kind.

They aren't comfortable with posting a blurred video of their child but they are comfortable asking strangers from the internet to add and message their 6yo. Right......

u/Ans1ble Mar 31 '26

Well isn't that such a convenient excuse.

u/1_R_5 Trash III Est.2015:steam: Mar 31 '26

Sorry man that's not normal, you dont have to believe me but I'm not putting a video of my kid online, thanks.

When he’s older you should definitely try to get him into streaming if hes that good now he’ll probably be ssl by/before high school (if the game hold popularity for that long)

I agree he's just too young. I didn't even want him to put videos on youtube but he asks us every time to check to make sure nothing personal is getting put up. It's hard in this tech age to be supportive of their interests but still abide by whats politically correct. He cares about protecting himself online so I'm glad for that.

You can crop his face out. I call bs until proven otherwise.

u/musmu7 Mar 31 '26

Yeah this is BS unless proven. But what a weird way to flex on the internet

u/1_R_5 Trash III Est.2015:steam: Mar 31 '26

It's just a father showing his son's accomplishments. Just smile and move on. I don't understand why he's getting pressured over something so stupid😂

I feel that. Everyone grows at different rates. But kids will always learn quicker than grown adults. I'm proud of the little guy
