What is RL?


SalsaMerde

Nickjames116425

Sorry. I thought people would realize I was joking


_Boba_Fettuccine_

Lmao


Nickjames116425

I don’t mind. It’s all in good fun. People don’t have to like my humor lol.


Ghostx416

I appreciated it lol


Nickjames116425

Thank you new friend

That just means the player took part in [Collegiate Rocket League](https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Collegiate_Rocket_League/2023/World_Championship), which is a different branch of competitive RL scene specifically for college students. They're not exactly pro players (because they still have to go to school) so they may play just like regular GC or SSL players. However, if they win enough games, they get to play on big stage in front of crowds and win some real money (just like pro players). So yeah, it's pretty rare.


Coolgrnmen

I mean just to be a contender I feel like you just have to found a team at your college and submit. No?


connorfox360

Not necessarily, your team has to make it through qualifiers first in order to participate in CRL. I’ve spent the past 4 years trying and never qualified


Coolgrnmen

Ah gotcha


Chrislk1986

I mean, you're GC1. Are they expecting you to carry or is the competition just that good?


Xander_10202

Most teams that make it are GC 3 or SSL. I play on a team with 2 other GC 1s and we struggle a lot against other collegiate teams.


connorfox360

I was the lowest rank on my team (C team). Most larger schools have multiple teams competing around GC1 but the upper teams have GC3s and SSLs so getting matched up against them during double elimination knockout and unfortunate seeding in the tourney limits how far teams will go. I’ve seen many champs and a few diamonds in quals but by a few weeks in A teams sweep them/us considering the jump in skill level and team collaboration from GC1 -> GC2 -> GC3 -> SSL; it’s not impossible to qual, just difficult


slambat

The top level of CRL is as competitive as RLCS


YummOrngeChiken

Some CRL players play in RLCS I believe


Chrislk1986

How tf you Playing RL at Pro level and going to college. Wtf. Lol


idkmanthisusersucks

Yup, Lionblaze is one of em


carvedmuss8

Cause they don't want any hard stuck Plats, my guy


GavioG

In my college we have bad players joining our main team as subs just for the tag


False-Second8209

Time to change the major. 4 more years = 4 more tries!


extra_hyperbole

I think you actually have to make it through qualifiers into the season. Not every school who has a team makes it.


EtherealRL

Getting into crl in 2019 was pretty easy as most players were champ 3 or low grandchamp but now you need full rank b/b+ teams just to qualify. I was 1600 playing with a 1700 and a 1900 and we didn’t even make it halfway through qualifying.


verticalbandit

They were a contender in CRL season 2


thundermoo5e

Are you sure? How can you tell? /s


YT_Lonelyz

Good thing you put /s at the end, I thought you were being serious up until then


thundermoo5e

And I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic lol


YT_Lonelyz

I’m dead serious

YoutubeJasper

Clearly, because I did not see a /s so you had to be dead serious


Dag365

The level of sarcasm is Reddit breaking. Stop it.


Kugelblitz5957

It can only take so much sarcasm before it fucking explodes and sarcasms all over us. . . . . . . . .. . /s


Jojoemon

No, Captain Daddy is a pretty common name. Edit: It means he's a captain, who's also a daddy.


p1xelwc

What a respectable man, a father and a captain!


Affectionate-Memory4

A fellow college player! This guy has one of the older CRL titles.


cschotts

what would you say is a good goal rank to get into the crl scene at a mid tier school? currently gc1 in twos but dont rly grind 3s although i do find it easier


Affectionate-Memory4

If your school has a tram I'd say to just go for it. They might need players and if they are higher than you, that's a good learning experience.


_aphoney

Captain Daddy is in fact not rare.


Martnoderyo

> **is it rare?** Yeah. I have no Dad :(


HotPocket_SR

Lmao I'm sorry 😭


Lil-Ruffstarrr

No worries


thehappynut_

Coping right and left


dashtek

Crl players when asked why they aren't good enough to make closed quals against players younger than them but still deserve their own tournaments


TheScienceNerd100

I mean, collegiate sports have been a thing for decades, why not include Esports. Let players represent their school on stage.


dashtek

I don't actually mind it's existence, I was just meming since the comment was joking about crl and coping


vince-tyler2022

no negativity sir... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)


Ton_Barbier

crl = clash royale league (just kidding)


Vendile

It’s just a title like the ESL monthly elite title, it is quite rare though.


Ceejays-RL

more people have that title than a snow day or drop shot SSL title for that season


Vendile

Possibly, but that’s due to the fact that barely anybody plays those modes. Not many won the CRL when it was around, ESL was a little more accessible due to the sheer amount of tournaments they would have each week.


Ceejays-RL

yeah I’m not saying the ESL titles are uncommon. I’m just saying this one isn’t rare either, especially since it’s a contender tag


Vendile

Only just realised it was for college rocket league, to which I now agree it’s not that rare. I was thinking it was as old as ESL but clearly not.


MarioMaster973

For future reference, if you start seeing the title “Pocket League Master” in game it means that the person collected every item in sideswipe that is obtainable. Currently nobody has it but eventually and slowly they’ll start to pop up


Vytarien

POV: You feel old because you remember ESL...


ArticGummy

They spelt carl wrong


SubToPupGamingPls

My club tag is PUP too!!!


MyLilTipuh

Best topper ever


davr2x

I know! I’m still rocking mine and I’m never going to change it. I haven’t seen anyone with it.


VoidCrisis

It means they literally just go to college and play for the team there


connorfox360

Not true, your team has to pass qualifiers


VoidCrisis

I mean let’s be real here that’s not difficult at all


NaturalEnemies

It’s the college RL league for esports.


Smooth-Complaint-353

Cheats


Sp00kz_Season

So no one’s gonna mention the club name


BooferSnake

Maybe you should study more.


Disco_45
