It also helps explain roster changes and why teams chose to disband/form.Īnd on the flip side of that, what has been the hardest part? Then you can see how a team went from being okay to really good, or the other way around. TWildMan: The most rewarding part for me is when all of a player’s or team’s history and results is available to look through. Vogan: Being able to click through what is essentially the entire history of Rocket League and just seeing the amount of data we've assembled. What has been the most rewarding part of this experience so far? After a while I realized I wanted to continue to help because I thought this was something that Rocket League as an eSport could really benefit from, and because I personally learned a lot about the history of teams and players through contributing. I thought it was something I could help with, because I felt like I had a lot of knowledge about the scene. TWildMan: I heard about Liquipedia for the first time when they were looking for people to contribute to the Rocket League Alpha Wiki. I've been contributing to it in a myriad of ways since, including creating and updating tournament/player/team pages, creating the portals, updating templates and a bunch of other things. I felt it was badly needed, so I tried to help out from the get-go. Vogan: Rocket League did not have a proper wiki when Liquipedia made a post on Reddit looking for volunteers. When did you first hear about Liquipedia or Team Liquid and what made you decide to help create the Liquipedia Alpha Wiki for Rocket League? At this point I have probably spent more time watching Rocket League tournaments, than playing Rocket League myself.
It was not until the RLC Pro League that I started watching it a lot, but ever since then I have been a huge fan. TWildMan: I first heard about Rocket League eSports through the Rocket League subreddit, and I started watching some streams. Vogan: I've been involved as a player in competitive Rocket League since day one and have been playing at the top tier since. So a tiny bit more serious now, when did you get into Rocket League esports and what kinds of involvement have you had with it? Oh well let’s just hope it happens after our lifetimes. Interesting, interesting, I guess neither of you would survive very long with these weapons. TWildMan: A machete or a katana would be pretty cool. Onto the second question and incidentally the second hardest question: What weapon would you choose to survive the zombie apocalypse? TWildMan: Chilies – it can make any pizza ten times better, but it can also ruin a pizza so it really depends on the restaurant.
I got Rocket League with the free PlayStation Plus deal in July 2015, and ever since then it has been a big part of my life, both playing and the competitive scene.įirst question is the hardest one: What are your favourite Pizza toppings? Vogan: I'm a 21 year old computer science student.
The amount of their contributions both together and individually can’t be overstated, so we’ve of course added them as trial LP staff members, we also decided to ask them a few questions. The RL wiki would not be where it is without the help of two key people: Vogan and TWildMan.
The wiki is in a pretty good place, however there’s always room for improvement, ideally we want to increase our coverage of the professional scenes outside of Europe. And there is also links to our overview pages of professional Players, Teams and Tournaments. We also list Recent Player Transfers, so you can see if there’s been any movement of pro players the last couple of days. On our main page we also have the Tournaments list, but besides that we list Upcoming and Live Matches, if they’re live and we know the stream there’s a direct link to it. Then there’s the Tournaments menu item where we list Upcoming, Ongoing and Recently concluded tournaments. If you’re new to the Rocket League wiki there’s a few key features we would like to highlight.įirstly the menu bar at the top of the page has four drop down menus - the first being the Trending menu where the top 5 most visited pages today are shown. It has required a lot of work and we want to thank everyone who has helped contribute to the project, and to all who might still help out in the future, to make the wiki an even better resource! And they/you were, so today we’re officially launching the Liquipedia Rocket League Wiki. At the start of the summer we asked the people on r/RocketLeague if they’d be willing to help start up a wiki.
