Rocket League<\/a> is a weird game; where its esport format that draws in hundreds of thousands of viewers monthly isn’t its most played playlist. <\/p>\n

Step aside Standard because Doubles is here to stay. As the most populated playlist in the game, 2v2 certainly has a magical sense to it. Some people call it “a quicker 3v3” or “two simultaneous 1v1’s.”<\/p>\n

Whatever the definition in your book is, there are questions like “when do I challenge?”, “what’s my role as first\/second-man?” and, most importantly, “what are rotations?” Fear not because without further ado, here’s our Rocket League Doubles guide for your 2v2 queueing.<\/p>\n

Rocket League 2v2 Roles<\/h3>\n

Let’s get one thing straight right from the get-go: as there are only two users per team, the roles are simple; first-man and last-man (second is last, so no second-man).<\/p>\n

First-man’s job is to push, be disruptive and create an opening for their teammate. Last-man’s job is simple: score and don’t get scored on.<\/p>\n

This essentially means first-man will be pushing most of the time (if not rotating, of course) and last-man will be on the lookout for an opening, that be for a shot, clear or save if possession can’t be maintained.<\/p>\n

Rocket League 2v2 Rotations<\/h3>\n

Rotations are essential for 3’s and 2’s, most definitely bigger in the latter as one missed gap and there’s no third person to clean up after the other two.<\/p>\n

Therefore with the roles clearly established between teammates and understanding mechanical capability and playstyle for each player, rotations should be clearly indicated in the match comms.<\/p>\n
