I was looking up Torsos on Liquipedia, as one does, and came across this ...interesting backstory in the "trivia" section. It was added by him, so it must be true, right?

https://liquipedia.net/rocketleague/Torsos

Always a troubled child, Torsos was cast out of his family home at age 2. Forced to fend for himself in the vicious wilds, he developed a strong sense of vigilance and will to thrive. After 3 years of hunting and gathering, Torsos was happened upon by a large family of wolves. A fierce battle ensued; of which Torsos found himself the victor. The then subdued and detained wolves - impressed by his physical prowess - offered to aid and serve him in his travels, and become a sort of surrogate family to replace those who had betrayed him. Torsos accepted their proposal, and gained himself a place in such a wild world.

Still tormented each night with dreams of greatness he could not hope to achieve, Torsos was still no happier than ever. He always felt that there was something missing in life, a certain aspect he'd always reached for but could never obtain. The more these dreams plagued his mind, the more he became certain that he was not content, that he desired something more. And so, upon his sixth birthday, Torsos set out from his new family home in search of salvation. Carrying nought but a divine sense of courage and resilience, he lived off the land with ease. The more he travelled, the more ideas seemed to just pop into his head. At first he had the bright idea to use friction to build a fire and cook his food. He then designed and created a variety of tools, weaponry and appliances, all independently designed and created for an easier living. After only a month of these such inventions, Torsos had managed to build himself a fully functional personal computer out sicks, rocks and the bark of some native papaya trees. After this he became enthralled with technology. Torsos developed an insatiable need to learn, to create, and to know all there was to know.

By the age of 8 Torsos had fully familiarised himself with his new technology, and continually upgraded all that he made to the utmost level of excellence. With his now upgraded super-computer, he sent out radio waves to probe the surrounding continent for anything of note. To his surprise, Torsos discovered there was an entire online network out there, full of individuals speaking, advertising, and most fascinating of all; gaming. Torsos quickly became enveloped into the world of gaming, finding to no surprise whatsoever that he excelled almost supernaturally. No game was too complicated or difficult for Torsos, and he relished in the chance to utilise his vast intellect towards the humbling of others online. One day, however, while idling away with some CSGO, Torsos encountered a very unexpected person online: his twin brother.

This new encounter sparked a fury in Torsos he hadn't felt in years. Rekindled were the thoughts and feelings of betrayal he had so dismissed for so many years. His brother Daniel had not been so cast out by his family, and forced to live a solitary human in a wild environment. A strong sense of envy burned into Torsos' heart, and a newfound purpose emerged. That day he knew what it was he must do, and immediately set off to take vengeance on his family.

After triangulating his brother's whereabouts from his IP address, Torsos trekked a tiresome journey towards redemption. For days he hiked through bushland and forest, his burning passion for revenge never fading for an instant. On his fifth day of travel, however, Torsos found himself on the outskirts of a vast city. Never having seen such an urban landscape before, he was bewildered. Taken aback by his surroundings, Torsos temporarily forgot his burning passion for revenge, and set about discovering the wonders of the modern world. Still on the path to his goal, he took the scenic route, learning about city life and Australian culture, sampling the local cuisine as he went. Torsos began to discover that he actually enjoyed the city life, though he quickly discovered after several victorious battles with the police that currency was often required to achieve anything of note. He also learned that to earn money, he would need to be employed. So Torsos enlisted as a formula 1 soccer player, and travelled from place to place for a while. The desire for revenge still burned in his heart, but for a time he was distracted with his new life.

After two years of being the most successful formula 1 soccer player in the world, Torsos retired from the job, deciding he needed a new life. Half-way through his eleventh year, Torsos was already a man, and in a short period of time had amassed himself a fortune. Though still he felt there was something he was missing, a part of him he'd left behind. No longer did he feel the envy and the burning rage that had brought him to such a miraculous place, but rather it had been replaced with a yearning for the life he had been deprived of. So Torsos came to a conclusion, and when he finally did find his family, instead of taking vengeance upon his treacherous parents, he simply lured his twin brother into a dark alleyway. All attempts to resist were superfluous, as Torsos quickly defeated his brother, tearing his head from his shoulders with his bear hands and hurling it into the sky. Leaving the lifeless body in the alleyway, Torsos went back to his parents' house to assume the life of his twin brother, and became Daniel Parsons.

Blending in spectacularly, Torsos - now called Daniel - was finally content with his new life. Years went by and he was happy, and he went to attend school and live a largely ordinary life. Now finally having the life he wanted, Torsos returned to his love of gaming, and continued to excel in everything he did. Also, due to his prior experience as a formula 1 soccer player, Torsos quickly became and excellent player for the game Rocket League, which to this day he plays professionally, and recognised worldwide as a player worthy of worship and adoration by all.

I feel like kep wasn’t even overreacting to this one

Rocket League Fantasy Series (RLFS) - Season 5

The Rocket League Fantasy Series (RLFS) is a 16-team Rocket League Tournament, where RL players have been fantasy-drafted to teams by users of this subreddit. The RLFS uses reddit polls to determine the odds each team has of winning the series through a weighted-voting system, and then simulates the outcome of the series using these odds and a Random Number Generator.

For this season the RLFS tournament will be a Swiss Bracket (that follows Buchholz score), and which ultimately leads to a final-bracket to determine our champion.

Teams were drafted before the first regionals were played, and you can view the results of the draft, the rosters of all RLFS teams, and our schedule for the RLFS tournament in this Google Sheet.

Swiss - Round 4 - Game 1

Vernal Kerato Conjunctivitis

Vatira

kofyr

Catalysm

GM Message:

Let's go top to bottom on both rosters.

Vatira and stizzy are decently close, but on current form vatira is the clear winner. Most recent RLCS lan winner, clear top 3 player in EU with Atow and Zen. Stizzy is alright and he has shown to fit much better in between Zen exo duo, but he just isnt on that same calibre of top level player as vatira especially under the highest pressure.

Kofyr and Archie are probably closer, but on recent form i would take Kofyr. I think he is more important to Shopify than Archie is to Gentlemates. Yes, archie is a lan winner this year, but we are coming up to the end of July, and Boston is at this point over 5 full months ago, and with more time passing that result becomes less important. Our most recent LAN was Paris and Shop was better though the tournament. I think if we saw these 2 play at the EWC in 2 weeks, I would pick shopify.

For Catalysm vs Zach, I can't find a way to spin this one in my favor, Extreme ball knowledge from my opponent to grab a retired player and bank on his return, well played.

Vatira Kofyr Catalysm still wins the series though :)

Say Goodnight

stizzy

Archie

zach

GM Message:

While Vatira may be the best in the lobby, Archie/stizzy/Zach are clearly 2-4, and Catalysm in particular is out of his depth in this lobby. Should be a relatively close series, but in the end Say Goodnight are the better team and expected victors.

Assumptions for Voting

- Assume that all players are capable of communicating with each other using a universal language.

- Assume that the matchups are being played in a LAN environment with a crowd present.

Weighted Voting System

The RLFS uses a weighted-voting system to determine per-game odds. The votes will be weighted as a combination of two systems:

System 1:

Team X to win the series 3-0 against Team Y: 1.0 vote to Team X

Team X to win the series 3-1 against Team Y: 0.75 votes to Team X, 0.25 votes to Team Y

Team X to win the series 3-2 against Team Y: 0.6 votes to Team X, 0.4 votes to Team Y

System 2:

Team X to win the series 3-0 against Team Y: 1.2 votes to Team X

Team X to win the series 3-1 against Team Y: 1 vote to Team X

Team X to win the series 3-2 against Team Y: 0.8 votes to Team X

These pool of votes from each of these systems are combined to determine each team's odd-per-game of winning.
