The UNSTOPPABLE Form Of Rotating In Rocket League:
Back post rotations are thought by many to be the best form of defensive rotations in Rocket League. Even at the highest level of play in RLCS, a version of back post rotations is followed. Back post rotations in Rocket League are easy to learn but hard to master. However, you can start learning them at ANY rank any already see your skill and rank improve. When I started rotating at the back post, I went of 4 ranks in 1 season compared to just 1 rank in my previous season of Rocket League. The main misconception of defensive rotations in Rocket League is that defending in the middle of the goal or at the front post is the best spot to defend. That is 100% untrue. In real soccer, for a goalie, the best place to defend is at the front post. However, unlike in real soccer, Rocket League cars have boost and they don't have designated positions like a shooter and a goal keeper. This is why rotating in Rocket League is essential to having good team chemistry. There have been Rocket League videos made in the past about back post rotations but they haven't done the best about explaining every aspect of why, how, where, etc. in my opinion. In this video, I tried to use my editing skills to make it as clear as possible what back post rotations are, why they are important, what makes them useful, and why other forms of rotating may not work in Rocket League. The thing about back post rotations is that they are strictly meant to be for defense but they can be so useful that sometimes you can easily turn it into a free goal if you do them right. The best way to do this in my opinion is to have someone wait slightly up field for a pass. Sometimes it can be hard to get a clear on defense on your own in Rocket League so having someone there slightly up field to pass to can be extremely useful for relieving pressure and starting a counter attack. Multiple times a session, I'm able to get a few goals using back post rotations and having someone slightly up field to pass to on a redirect clear. It can catch the defense way off guard and be a really good transition on to offense in Rocket League. As you reach a higher and higher level of play in Rocket League, you may start to realize that normal back post rotations don't always work. This is largely because plays at that level happen so fast that you need to cut corners and realize when that's okay on defense in Rocket League. The pros in RLCS are extremely good at this and it's the main reason why people struggle to go from high level grand champ game play to pro game play. But overall, back post rotations in Rocket League are extremely useful for getting you out of the ranks of gold, platinum, diamond, and even champion if you learn to master them.

-
"Where on the screen do you think backpost is?" Me: If the ball is left then on the right if the ball is right then on the left. Wayton: WROOONG!! Feels bad
-
how many plats will skip the step and try to make themselves available for a pass as you're getting dunked on in goal?
-
"Marty! We have to go back!" "Back where Doc?" "Back... to the Future!" - a "Go Back" Post

I’m GC and I still find this very interesting to watch. Even though I already knew this I still watched it because I knew I would find it entertaining and did.
-
Sees opponent on offense My brain: Aight you’ve trained for this moment. Just remember what Wayton said and — Goes farpost and gets scored on My brain: Why did you do that...? This legit happened a couple hours after watching this
-
You deserve way more views and likes man. This is amazing. Keep up the amazing work!
-
After I watched this video, I practiced it for a bit in free play, got the pad locations down, then jumped into ranked. Just hit C3 after 6 seasons of being a hard-stuck C1, looking for GC rewards. Thanks Wayton!

8:43 this goal reminisces me of last goal in RLCS Season 8 finals

Yo. I’m 1820 GC and this is great to help lower rank players. You should also in another video show the effects of a near post rotation when ur teammate is on the back post. This causes team bumps, loss of boost management, double diving, and also clearing it across the center of gol, which can lead to the opposition scoring. This will give players an even better perspective on why back post rotations is critical. Excellent job on describing back post rotations to help players.

Wayton: Mentions back post in the first 5 seconds of a video again Me: Instantly knows this video is going to be another banger.
-
I wish there was a “back post” quick chat for the console...
-
This video is pure gold. Extremely clear, great examples, just amazing. Kudos to you, and you deserve every shoutout you’ve received from all the more known streamers / youtubers. Keep on doing this, you’re on the right path!
-
My friends: Fuck tutorials and training, I'll be inside the goal.
-
Yoo the edit is unreal I like the anlizing drawings on the scenes really helps to understand how I need to think and how to look at things. Thank you.
-
I definitely pointed to both posts but okay I'm wrong :(
-
I can’t believe how well edited this video is! From the birds-eye view arrows and colors, to the music/transitions to help keep interest and change focus! You’ve definitely earned a subscriber.

I agree. Poor back post rotations are one of the most preventable causes of a loss at the lower ranks. I’m still working on it but I see a lot of my plat level teammates fail to do this correctly. Great content! 👍🏻
