5 Rocket League Content Creators You Should Be Watching

1. Ckyez

‍

Let’s begin this run-down with someone using YouTube in a fresh way. The rise of shorts seems inexorable, and Ckyez’s breakout hits are all in this vertical format - including livestreams.

Of the over 900 videos published by the 17-year-old, only 11 are i the ‘old-fashioned’ landscape aspect ratio. And his shorts are killing it, regularly between 20 and 50,000 views, but sometimes reaching into the millions. Their channel is ideally suited for the Rocket League player keen to learn some key tips, but also just to see some cool moves.

The game itself also lends itself well to the shorter format, with skilful goals, rapid defensive moves and aerial skills ideal for ~30 seconds of awe.

Capturing and editing a clip is one thing, having the skills to back it up is quite another - Ckyez has peaked (so far) at Grand Champion 2 (GC2) rank, all by using keyboard and mouse.

2. Pulse Jxsh

‍

There are Rocket League creators, players and competitors with larger audiences than Pulse Jxsh in this article, but Josh’s enthusiasm and abilities transcend the numbers.

He started playing at 13 years old, after testing Rocket League around a friend's house, and now, seven years later, Pulse Jxsh offers Rocket League coaching services. This includes creating training packs for trophi.ai.

From the start, directional air roll was Pulse Jxsh’s forte, and you only have to see some of his TikTok clips to see that they are amongst the world’s best freestylers.

He’s gone from playing on Xbox One with his uncle to becoming one of the UK’s Rocket League rising stars.

3. SquishyMuffinz

‍

In terms of competitive laurels, SquishyMuffinz is ahead of every other creator on this list, having won the Rocket League Championship Series.

Competing for the Cloud9 team, he won the crown in Las Vegas, 2018, with the team earning $200,000. To this day, SquishyMuffinz acts as a bridge between pro-level players and the wider game community.

Regular YouTube videos predominantly showcase the latest Rocket League content, season updates and ‘road to’ series. But you can also dip into his back catalogue, with tournament highlights and useful guides.

For the extra-keen, the veteran player (who started playing when Rocket League was in its beta form) streams on Twitch during practice, competition qualification and watchalongs. One of the main reasons why he is interesting to watch is that while he is known to possess some of the best mechanical skills in the world, SquishyMuffinz remains calm, placid and resistant to pressure.

4. SunlessKhan

‍

The big one. The pinnacle. The RLCS of Rocket League YouTubers, if you will. Over the last eight years, SunlessKhan has risen to near the top of the charts, with 2.29 million subscribers. The ‘most viewed’ motto, with a caveat, is explained in his bio:

“#1 Most Viewed Rocket League YouTuber if You Don't Count Shorts”.

Perhaps best known for creating leftfield stunts and challenges - such as an 11v11 match, games with an aim-bot, breaking the record for the longest match ever and challenges with pro players - these days, SunlessKhan (real name, Jared Zook) focuses more on the players within Rocket League.

Uploads are few and far between, but when each new video appears, a flock of rabid fans result in incredibly high view counts.

Alongside showcasing his prowess, SunlessKhan’s recent content looks into the ridiculous and sometimes hilarious chat. In other words, the characters that appear within Rocket League. This is delivered deadpan, with often sassy remarks, and dare we say it, sometimes in a slightly negative light.

The allure of the game still shines through, typified in the ending to one of his most recent uploads:

“Rocket League is a ridiculous, stupid, silly, car crash… see you next time!”

5. Amustycow

‍

Can one move be the catalyst of a Rocket League career? Well, yes, it can, provided you take up pro-level competition and form a YouTube channel.

That’s exactly what Amustycow, real name Wyatt, did.

SunlessKhan may claim to be the ‘most viewed’ (minus shorts) Rocket League creator on YouTube, but Amustrycow has more subscribers - 3.16 million at the time of writing.

It began back in 2017, when he lay claim to the Musty Flick - a distinct move that combines an initial jump with the nose down, before a backward dodge, befuddling your rivals. The 30-second video with this move has nearly 6 million views alone.

As a Supersonic Legend, while most videos are challenge-based, he imparts his SSL skills with the viewer, too. That in turn means you feel less like watching a content creator and more like you’re going on a journey together.

Now, nearly a decade later, after a stint for the NRG professional team, Amustycow’s weekly uploads make them the most-subscribed creator in this space.
