THIS IS ROCKET LEAGUE

This goal, scored by Justin Morales, marked one of the most exciting and impactful moments in all of esports. The long road to this goal took place throughout the 2015-2016 season of the Rocket League World Championships. NRG Esports picked up a new rookie talent, Justin, to elevate their team from their disappointing results in previous RLCS world championship runs. After an incredible season proving his worth, he helped NRG make it to the grand finals of the world championships. Their opponents, Dignitas, were a formidable foe. Not only were they the reigning world champions, they were considered the best team in the tournament by far. But in a huge upset, NRG actually beat Dignitas in the upper bracket semifinals. Now, in the grand finals, Dignitas would have to beat NRG in 2 series in a row to take home the trophy, with NRG only needing 1. The first series was a dominant win from Dignitas, showing how strong they were. The second series began to look the same, with Dignitas leading 3-1 in the best of 7 match. After 2 hard fought wins, NRG managed to tie the series at 3-3, meaning the entire tournament would be decided by 1 final game. The game was close, the score being 2-2 with only 4 seconds left on the clock, Dignitas scored, going up 3-2. Everyone thought it was over. But in an incredible series of events, Justin managed to score an incredible goal, tying up the game with 0 seconds on the clock, bringing it to overtime. While Dignitas ended up winning in overtime, the 0 second goal by Justin remains one of the most famous moments in Rocket League, and even esports as a whole. The moment is immortalized in many other articles and Youtube videos. To see more video game and esports related information, check out this fancy article over here.
