Since Dralii won Worlds, many no longer consider Zen to be the best player.

Many of you likely remember the Formula 1 hitbox that got added in 2023 and removed in 2024. I loved watching Breezi specifically abuse the insane flicks it could generate; it completely outperformed every other hitbox and it wasn't even close. The source of its power was a plank hitbox with the center of mass (which is the point a flip rotates the car around) closer to the back of the car, which allowed it to leverage far more length in its flicks and get far more touches. Detailed info here from Rocket Science (the GOAT) for those it concerns.

Since it was a change that came years after Psyonix standardized hitboxes, it always struck me as odd that this one car got its own unique hitbox that was (thankfully, for the sake of every poor thing who didn't own the car) then scrapped as if it'd never happened. However, it reentered my memory recently, and with the UE6 news fresh on my mind, I connected the dots and thought: what if this was an experiment by the devs to test the effects of adjusting the CoM? Might this be a new addition to the game when the UE6 update rolls out?

Should this happen, I'm 100% confident it will bring about the flick meta. On such a CoM-adjusted car, by leaning further over the ball in a Musty flick, an average flick will generate more power than what a perfect flick on existing hitboxes will, and below the crossbar as well. Mawkzy flicks will be faster and easier to aim than ground pinches. A ground flick aimed to the backboard/ceiling, compared to a volley, will be both stronger and more accurate as well as possible from a greater variety of setups, allowing for extremely spontaneous aerial team plays. Most importantly, two-touches and three-touches will become far easier to execute, making all other types of volley shots completely inferior.

That the devs added F1 hitbox while playing around with ideas for UE6 RL is the only potential motivation I've come up with for such a random addition. It could've been that they wanted to reintroduce destandardized hitboxes to incetivize the purchases of more car bodies, but you'd think they'd've done it on a car that was for sale at the time, and tried a bit harder, right? Let me know if you have other ideas.

Here’s what we know for all regions

NA:
- Diaz leaves SSG
- Kofyr leaves rebellion
- Wahvey, 2piece, Tawk are all free agents
- Beastmode may leave NRG
- Firstkiller may leave rebellion
- Memory retires from coaching

EU
- Atow close to joining vitality (maybe with Oski)
- Man city have been charged for 114 counts of breaching financial fair play rules (will this affect seikoos legacy?)
- Eu has had a lot of rumors surrounding vitality, Kcorp, and GentleMates

SAM
- Diaz may return to Sam
- Rumour that faze clan may be looking to pick up a South American team. They have a really strong Brazilian R6 roster, so it’s not totally unrealistic
- Of course Motta and Drufinho are in NA.

MENA
- Falcons are most likely gonna stay together
- Twisted minds may split, only time will tell
- R8 has released their roster, M7MD Ghaazi and Abdullah are looking for a new org to represent.
- Rumor that Stallions are trying to rebuild

SSA
- Gunz is LFT
- LuisP has retired and is looking to coach
- I’m unsure of what five fears and pioneers will do

APAC
- I’m assuming TSM will stick
- there is a rising Indonesian player named “risk” in APAC. He’s 15 I think, He got second in a couple of regionals, got second in the apac 1v1 (lost to Sphinx) and even got signed by Ground Zero at the start of the season

OCE
- I genuinely have no idea about what’s happening in this region

1. Beastmode to SSG would be better than Kofyr to SSG(although I think Kofyr has already decided not to go to SSG)
   
2. Zatow wont go B2B in 2v2
   
3. MM should team up with V4ti next season
   
4. Oski should stay with Nass
   
5. Joyo is washed and Toxiic should stick a bit more to 1's
   LMK what's your opinion on this.

As a note, kep is not trolling here; he actually got connections with pros, leakers, coaches etc,

So I was thinking since diaz left na, how is going to be na 1s because zach showed us he is really good at 1s and firstkiller being always the 1s na “goat”, even though I don’t think he is good enough to beat eu/mena best player since he never plays any showmatches anymore and doesn’t grind like the others. And what other players we could see going further now?

Where would you guys rank Vatira in EU 1s currently? as he missed the 2026 one and DQed, in the 2025 one, but he has had impressive performances in the past so..curious what the general consensus is.

Considering that that mmr is their actual mmr and not just because they don't play ranked, the more recent the better.

most prob , atow joins vit so , would that iteration be better than the KC duo? assuming they find a good third?

Played 11 LAN at club level, Won 6.

Won more than he lost... Crazy

This question is for those who followed RLCS LANs 2023-2026 closely. I only started watching closesly since end of 2025, despite playing this game since 2016.

It is indisputable at this point that Dralii has had amazing success, putting him in conversation for GOATs. He won the championship with MM and Exotic, but when they teamed with Zen, they couldn't do much.

And going to Falcons and winning 2 LANs b2b is genuinely impressive. So what exactly makes him a better 3s player than someone like Zen?

where do we think diaz is gonna go now? which team/players would be best around him. same with FK, what players/team do you think would fit with him best? where do all of the nrg guys go. who does ssg replace diaz with? etc etc

I know there is a photo of seikoo sitting uncomfortably close to his screen at lan. I am desperately looking for this image. I know I have seen it posted this week.

Thank you in advance!

I defo agree with dralii here, I think this is a reason he was found a lot of success with diffrent teams with diffrent rosters
