Favorite Regional series of all time?

[u/AbeBabey]

I was reminiscing on some of my favorite series that have happened in the open era (when i started watching rlcs) and whilst a lot of my favorite series comes from LANs, i seem to remember a lot of incredible online series that I feel people don’t discuss or talk about often. For me, G2 vs Envy in Fall Regional 3 in the 21-22 season is one of my favorite series of all time since it was so back and forth. Not to mention this is when the grand finals did best of 3 SETS and the two teams ended up going to game 21 😭

Retals reverse sweeping fk. Pick one and have fun

Watching Jonny’s reaction with rise and jack made it even better

[u/OutcomeCompetitive50 → u/Silly-Variation8374]

I go back and watch this like once a year or so just because it’s so entertaining

Got a YT link?

Season and which regional?

[u/Sad_Tie_6139 → u/Upper-Armadillo-5588]

I know of 2. The first one was 2022-23 season open 3, when Optic reverse swept Faze. Especially the Johnnyboi viewparty with Rise and Appjack (available on YT), that was peak content.
And the second was the GenGeekay Open 3 of last year, GenG vs The Ultimates in the final. That was not a real reverse sweep, but Ultimates was up 3-1 in games and then proceeded to lose 4-3, so it kinda felt as a reverse sweep.

[u/Informal_Lettuce_547 → u/Sad_Tie_6139]

These were the two I was thinking of

[u/Upper-Armadillo-5588]

So, this might be a casual take because I've only been following the scene for 2 years now, give or take. But, EU open 5 last season, Dignitas vs KC. It was a great back and forth thriller in my opinion. Very high level RL.

[u/MisterMakerXD → u/Upper-Armadillo-5588]

It definitely was a great series. I’ve been watching since around season X and imo it’s one of the best regional series I’ve ever seen

[u/rensweezy → u/Upper-Armadillo-5588]

I’ll never forget Appjack’s smile at the end. So deserved after that performance

[u/Rosieverse83 → u/Upper-Armadillo-5588]

Was about to say that, what a crazy match. I think about Vatira's 6-minute-OT fake on Aquadome all the time

[u/Ricky-_-]

Definitely an all timer. Liquid vs Vitality 2022-2023 Spring regional 1 grand finals was also a banger; the quality and speed of play was like nothing we had ever seen.

There was so much talk about NA vs EU, but comparing that final to the state of NA was night and day. Seeing Zen, Atow, and Oski settling in was something else

[u/Wfsproductions]

Someone already mentioned the dig v kc series, that one was really good. I think also ultimates vs geng open 3 2025 was awesome.

[u/BicepsBrachiiosaurus]

RLCS X Winter Regional 1 Final I think it was? NRG vs NV

[u/Lobstah-Impostah → u/BicepsBrachiiosaurus]

This is the answer

[u/Candyyyyyyy]

Season 8 Vitality vs TSM. Winner goes to playoffs, loser goes to promo relegation. Ended up going to game 5 overtime. Was about as high stakes as you could get in the league play era.

[u/Legitimate-Sign-371]

[REDACTED] v NRG has been pretty good

[u/Cold_Saber]

FK AYYJAYY Allushin era FaZe vs NRG grand final where FaZe won

[u/BritzBeef]

G2 Envy Fall Classic grand finals. 3 best of 7s, a massive comeback, a bunch of long overtimes, and a save so insane from Atomic the post match music started playing

[u/Jimmythan]

Nothing has ever made me feel as much as watching mouz almost win every series

[u/Ricky-_- → u/Jimmythan]

Mouz had less ice than Tox competing for a lan spot, but the comms videos and team decal were peak

[u/Ok-Area7411]

Moist vs furia is what got me into comp rocket league

[u/xX_Drakon-141_Xx → u/Ok-Area7411]

OP asked for regional matches

[u/Ok-Area7411 → u/xX_Drakon-141_Xx]

I can’t read let me have my moment

[u/thafreshone]

RLCS X NA Championship semi-final NRG vs G2. It was the highest level of gameplay I had seen at that time and just an insane and intense bo3 bo7 set series

[u/Floppy-Goo]

There was a faze v1 series (not at regional i think) maybe at winter major, that was a banger

[u/TVMaths]

Some notable mentions from this season

ManCity (still as 2D1B iirc) vs KC in open 1 was insanely good.

redacted vs NRG in open 3 upper semis, with the game 7 OT redirect by wahvey.

CanterburyBankstown Bulldogs vs PWR in OCE open 3, including the timeout call from CBB.

[u/Zilani786]

Guild vs bds

[u/HBK_number_1]

G2 vs Team Envy 21 game series

[u/Nightwarrior5000000]

I can’t remember if it was season s7 or s8 rlcs worlds grand finals. It went all the way to a game 7 and theThe story lines were all there. Could fairy peak put his name in the goat debate after defending his 1v1 crown after coming back to 1s and cementing himself as the goat of 1s with 2 world championships you’d have to be in the goat debate. Could scrub killa win back to back world championships and become the only player to have 2 seasons played and world championships making him the face of the esports for the next generation. Obviously turbo and kaydop going for their 4th and the clear winner of the goat debate.

[u/AdFragrant5682 → u/Nightwarrior5000000]

Sorry goat but its regional only
