Jack “Speed” Packwood-Clarke announced himself on the Rocket League scene when he won the second season of the Gfinity Elite Series with Reason Gaming. <\/p>\n
His career went to another level when, on the eve of WSOE 4, FlipSid3 Tactics picked the British up as a late replacement for Maurice “Yukeo” Weihs who had left for Dignitas. Against all odds, F3 won that tournament with Speed playing a crucial role.<\/p>\n
Now at mousesports, I sat down to speak to him after a night of scrimmaging in preparation for Week 2 of RLCS Season 9.<\/p>\n
Yeah, the thing is we have never been a scrim team. Just never, no matter who I am with, we never win scrims. I try my hardest to simulate the game environment, but I just can’t. So I always play a bit worse, so even though scrim performances are a bit ‘meh’ we know on the day it will be fine. It just always is.<\/p>\n
It’s all about pressure. It’s like when you’re at school, and you have homework, and you procrastinate, procrastinate, procrastinate until like literally 30 minutes before it’s due and you’re doing it in the lesson before. It’s the same in Rocket League, the more pressure on me, the better I seem to do.<\/p>\n
Yeah, we are super excited to have Scrub on board, he’s regarded as one of the best in the world for a reason.<\/p>\n
Anything less than LAN is a disappointment.<\/p>\n
We just didn’t have the offensive output. If I wasn’t getting the passes, it wasn’t popping. I felt like I had to do everything in attack.<\/p>\n
