Competitive Rocket League is a tier 1 esport. Slowly but surely, the Epic Games and Psyonix is forging a truly competitive experience that looks to stand the test of time featuring huge prize pools, professional teams, and stories and legacies a plenty.<\/p>\n

And as it continues to pull hundreds of thousands of viewers weekly, amassing millions of views on every social media platform, it’s clear the show is only just get started.<\/p>\n

With the culmination of RLCS Season X right around the corner with a (fingers crossed) World Championship LAN to truly settle some scores, we can already picture all the dream matches we have been fantasizing about since the Fall Split kicked off.<\/p>\n

And with that showpiece event just around the corner, what better time than to get a bit granular, have a bit of fun, and rank some of the best individuals in the esport? <\/p>\n

So withoutout furtherado here are our top 10 Rocket League players in 2021.<\/p>\n

10. Arsenal from Spacestation Gaming<\/h3>\n

Tshaka “Arsenal” Lateef Taylor Jr is a joy to watch on and off the field. One of the most charismatic personalities in the community comes with one of the biggest threats the scene has ever seen: his improv.<\/p>\n

In a fast-moving industry like the Rocket League competitive circuit, Arsenal has only been a part of two teams since his professional debut.<\/p>\n

This speaks volumes of Arsenal’s consistency, craft and skill ceiling through the years.<\/p>\n

The seasoned veteran was a former The Peeps member before joining Spacestation Gaming in 2019. <\/p>\n

Leading his team to both a regional and a major RLCS X championship, Arsenal has become the deadliest weapon in the organisation.<\/p>\n

9. AYYJAYY from FaZe Clan<\/h3>\n

AYYJAYY “is not f****** leaving” the top anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Original peep Jirair “Gyro” Papazian and Austin “AYYJAYY” Aebi, former teammates in the Pittsburgh Knights roster, decided to reform The Peeps back in August 2020 and it was the best decision ever.<\/p>\n

AYYJAYY has taken the formidable Peeps team name to a whole new level, bringing them all the way to World Championship contendership and signing with the world-renowned FaZe Clan organisation.<\/p>\n

With the leadership and mechanical skills required to survive the harsh professional scene, the 18-year-old has won the hearts of fans all around the globe.<\/p>\n

8. Fairy Peak! from Team Vitality<\/h3>\n

Victor “Fairy Peak!” Locquet is a staple to the Rocket League competitive circuit and that is not said about many names in the league’s history. The 22-year-old Frenchman is a menace on the field in any format, at one point being the No. 2 1v1 player in the world.<\/p>\n

Competing in the professional Rocket League scene since 2016, the former World Champion has made a name for himself for almost five years straight and he doesn’t plan on stopping, either.<\/p>\n

With experience and speed, Fairy Peak! has taken Team Vitality and placed the name high on top of the European region for the last two years.<\/p>\n

7. Marc_by_8 from Team BDS<\/h3>\n

Marc “MaRc_By_8.” Domingo is one of the surprise entrants to the 2021 list. Who would of had Marc anywhere near the top 10 players this time last year?<\/p>\n

The regional and major European champion has been tearing down walls in Team BDS as RLCS lines them up and they come knock them down.<\/p>\n

What really makes him special, though, is his ability to improvise in the split of a second.<\/p>\n

Because of his sky-rocketing career (pun intended), Marc has become one of the most unpredictable players that have ever hit the pitch with his mind games.<\/p>\n

6. Firstkiller from Rogue<\/h3>\n

Jason “Firstkiller” Corral is a Rocket League prodigy. <\/p>\n

At only 16-years-old, we have seen him kickstart his career as one of the best 1v1 players ever in North America, going pro with Ghost Gaming and now in 4th place in NA, Rogue.<\/p>\n
