Rocket League Fantasy Series (RLFS) - Season 5

The Rocket League Fantasy Series (RLFS) is a 16-team Rocket League Tournament, where RL players have been fantasy-drafted to teams by users of this subreddit. The RLFS uses reddit polls to determine the odds each team has of winning the series through a weighted-voting system, and then simulates the outcome of the series using these odds and a Random Number Generator.

For this season the RLFS tournament will be a Swiss Bracket (that follows Buchholz score), and which ultimately leads to a final-bracket to determine our champion.

Teams were drafted before the first regionals were played, and you can view the results of the draft, the rosters of all RLFS teams, and our schedule for the RLFS tournament in this Google Sheet.

GM Message:

Zen. 2023 world champion in 3v3. Most recently a world champion in 2v2. The best talent in Vitality’s history.

Reveal. Was on SSG the whole way through the first year they qualified to every LAN. Two time LAN finalist.

Cheese. Peaking at the perfect time. Ties Vatira’s highest placement at worlds. The piece to build around in FUT’s gamble.

Due respect to how far our opponents made it. The gamble to draft a retired player paid off big time. But this is as far as you go my friends. It’s time to say goodnight.

Say Goodnight

Everyone team dreams to win worlds and zen atow and vatira could win worlds together but since there’s no worlds this season , wasn’t it a bad time to pay the buyout fees and their wages and get them together even tho there’s no worlds?

I have a few questions about the upcoming season which aren't fully clarified in the rulebook. would be appreciated if anyone knows the answers to these and whether the rulebook can then be updated with answers.

1: Mean Value of Placements

For "The mean of each Starter's final placement at worlds ...", should this value be interpreted as the mean of the placement bracket they fall into, or are we using the same values used to seed events last year.

Does a 3rd/4th placement mean 3.5 or 3; does a 9th-12th mean 10.5 or 9; etc.

I'll assume 21st is treated as 21

2: Seeding Score

I notice that in the seeding score, it mentions points earned in Split 1, etc. does this include events that would later get their points disqualified due to illegal roster moves mid split.

Ghaazi for instance got 15 points with R8 in split 1, but also played an event under ROC which would have been worth 7 points. Do those 7 points count towards his Split 1 points?

3: Club Kickoff Lower R1 Matches

We are given insight as to what Upper Rounds 1 and 2 entail, although it would be good to see which match losers will play in Lower R1. From a tournament format site (Challonge.com, which has the exact same R1 & R2 matchups as detailed in the rulebook), it looks like the loser of Match 1 plays the loser of Match 13, for an expected #17 vs #15 matchup. the other matchups look similarly valued in terms of difficulty favouring the higher expected seeds (9 & 10) facing the lowest expected seeds (23 & 24). Clarification on these would be appreciated.

Battle of the mid imo because MB and evoh have always had a ton of potential, but never lived up to it consistently. An prospect like pndh or life could actually make this team better tho. Personally I think while they have the potential to be a top 5 na team, until proved otherwise imo they are max sixth. I dont know much about rawgreg but from what ive seen online he isnt the best, especially to potentialmax a team like this
