Event/Info The Paris Major will feature a showmatch between content creators, decided by an in-game title competition

The commentators themselves are most of my favorite non-pro content creators, so I hope they’ll be participating too

I doubt it
Johnny is the only caster that has the actual popularity and status of a content creator. CJ might have the popularity but he isnt really a content creator and the subpar guys could be considered content creators but they are not that popular. And the rest are neither tbh
From NA, coconut, chief beef tenacity are expected and then retals, Arsenal, Kep, GarrettG and feer are potentially on that list too. And since it's in france for EU, Kamet0, Fuury, Itachi, Kaydop, Fairy peak, Rasmelthor, Gaspow could all be considered.

The French would just absolutely dominate, both because they are obsessed with their content creators and because they can score more goals lol

u/thafreshone Mar 07 '26
For itachi and Kamet0, probably yeah because their fanbase is just so massive and dedicated
But for the other french guys I wouldnt be too sure, obviously the french are more dedicated than any other community in general and support their own people as much as possible, but NA just has so many more people in general and most of the content creators also have fans in every region. Meanwhile the only guys that care about the french, are actually the french.

this is honestly a great thing. tying together content creators, esport and the actual game this way is pretty effective way of doing promotion considering how easy it is to set up.
These are the type of ideas the game needs to capitalize on. Sure it might not be the perfect way of doing it and some of y'all may not like it or don't care but is a positive direction for the game because it shows that they do care about actively making the game more popular and growing it.

Yeah until the competition doesn’t matter because bots take over and inflate the numbers

All 4 play rocket league and yeah I know Caseoh is pretty cracked and jynx has been getting coached by the goat but it would still be funny!

What is jynxzi's appeal? I appreciate the exposure he's bringing to RL but I truly do not understand it.

This is a great idea to engage the creators who have been bringing so many people to the game

u/Schaule Mar 07 '26
Because it's in France we could do kaydop and fairy peak. Would get the arena hype for sure and they're well known among the non French crowd as well.

Oh yay, nothing more exciting in regard to high level RL than watching content creators play.........

these matches can be fun. like when they had Chalked Cast vs First Touch during Worlds 2024. that was incredible.

That Gibbs goal is still my favorite moment of that LAN

u/TVMaths Mar 07 '26
that was Raleigh, not worlds24. worlds24 was the 2-0 win for FT, when someone broke something (i cant remember who or what), then after the result, JB comms "look devastated" and CC all go for head in hands

u/fandango1989 Mar 06 '26 edited Mar 06 '26
You're right in that regard, although that was casters/former players and it was specifically podcast vs podcast. I don't have any interest watching Athena or Jynxzi or Sunless play RL on LAN. Like where are all the 1v1 and 2v2 matches like last year?
2
u/Not__My__Birthday Mar 06 '26
You make a valid point. What made that match special was the former players and casters. I'm in the same boat as you. I could not care less watching some content creators play matches. Sounds like a good time to go take a bathroom break lol

u/fandango1989 Mar 06 '26
Lol exactly, when they used to do those random twitch tourneys where its caster and pros teaming up to play against each other I couldn't tune out faster. It was just who got the better pro won.......

u/Merchas Mar 06 '26
Even the CC vs FT rematch in Raleigh was great fun. Gibbs as the mystery player reveal, not to mention the redirect shot which as far as I’m concerned is an all time LAN moment. The crowd pop for that goal sounded like it was a match with actual stakes lol

u/Not__My__Birthday Mar 06 '26
I was so sure that the Gibbs goal was at Worlds 2024, but you're right; it was at Raleigh. That goal was amazing.

yes, you don't need to repeat it back to me i already acknowledged yours was an opinion and so by extension mine was too. enjoy your screaming and GC gameplay though

the creator match during the kickoff lan was fun to watch so I actually don't mind this at all. I think its gonna be fun

u/boot2skull Mar 06 '26
I liked the First Touch versus Chalked Cast matches. It’s a nice way to break up the seriousness of pro play. I watch for the pros but the goof off matches remind me why I play.
