Right before this interview Magic had just found out his team, Jorelli's Goodies would not be able to participate in RLCS due to a location issue with one of the players.

Frostbite: Hello Magicgoodies.

Frostbite: Thanks for agreeing to this interview.

magicgoodies: Thanks for having me!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: Of course! So I just wanted to start off by asking what your thoughts on RLCS are, do you think this is a good starting place for high money events?

magicgoodies: Super excited about, I think almost anyone who plays Rocket League on any competitive level can appreciate this event. Every E-Sport has to start somewhere and a 75k prize pool with a LAN tournament is a great way to do it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: I agree completely, now shortly before our interview you made me aware that one of your teammates, Jodari, Could not participate in RLCS due to his location, any thoughts on that or what you and Corelli will do for RLCS now?

magicgoodies: Honestly I haven't a clue, still trying to wrap my head around it. Just a real shame considering the success we have had together and was hoping to get the ball rolling again. Replacing a player like Jodari, not only for skill but his demeanor, is almost an impossible task in my eyes. We'll need to do some searching and if nothing comes of that we may just end up as third's for other teams.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: It would certianly be a sad day to see a team with the quality of Jorellis Goodies have to split up right before the biggest Rocket League event to date. Obviously a rather large opportunity missed, related to that, Would you like to see other mid-high tier tournament during RLCS or do you feel the competition could stunt the growth of the game?

magicgoodies: I think any form of competitive environment would be helpful to growing the E-Sport side of Rocket League. Organizations like vVv doing their weekly tournaments have been fantastic in helping new players get a feel for a competitive environment. Also Pulsar Premier League recently got a big upgrade to their prize pool and have a lot of big name teams signing up. They also have different divisions so any tier of team can compete and see what they're made of.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: I agree about PPL, it's very cool to see a tiered league come in and help allow anyone play in a competitive environment! Now it might be a sore subject, can you give me your NA RLCS predictions, who qualifies, who tops the table?

magicgoodies: Well to be honest I haven't heard of almost any teams since the infamous "NA Shuffle" occurred. I definitely think Kings of Urban are the team to beat right now. An incredibly solid and consistent line up should lead to an impressive showing. Mock-It is another strong team but I'm curious to see how the personalities and team synergy will pan out. Just hard to give any predictions with no confirmed rosters.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: I guess we will see in Mid-April! Let's get off RLCS a bit, what are your thoughts on the recent Gambit drama

magicgoodies: I just think it's a shame. Regardless of any of the opinions or drama around it, Gambit is allowed to do what he feels is right for him. If that means leaving competitive RL, for any reason, than so be it. Honestly I'll miss him, can barely count on one hand players that can put up a such an incredible overall performance like Gambit can.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: Truly sad that a player of his quality leaves the competitive scene.

The last serious question I have for you, Where do you see competitive Rocket League as an E-sport, up there with LoL and CSGO or is this the limits we can reach?

magicgoodies: I think it has a really high chance to break through and become a great E-Sport. Just need to get more people to watch and the buzz to reach those who haven't heard of the game yet. The biggest problem is player and viewer base. Counter Strike has had years and years to build up its fan base before it started to become a large E-sport. As for League of Legends it sprung up quite quickly after its first year but LoL has a big thing going for it in the fact that it is free. This opens it up to ANYONE who wants to try it and see if they enjoy it. Rocket League will really have to captivate people with a price tag, lower than most at $20, in order to bring in the player base that will translate to more viewers.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: Rocket League is the real up-and-comer in E-sports according to most in general E-sports hopefully you, and them, are correct! I'd like to end with some easier questions and stop wearing on you: What's the best car? Why?

magicgoodies: Backfire, because everyone expects you to be a noob since you're using it. The serious answer would be Octane, Breakout, Dominus. At the same time I say the car will not make a difference 98% of the time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frostbite: Octane Master Race! Thanks for your time! I know you must be tired, so I'll let you get away! Wow! Nice Shot!



magicgoodies: Really appreciate you having me, thanks again!
