At the time, I honestly had no idea where this would get us as wikis usually cover facts and not report on potential/alleged facts. LZ: We started the rumors section on our wiki in early 2018. How do you verify rumors, and how do you receive some of this information in the first place? MT: The Rocket League Liquipedia is known for very reliable rumor tracking and confirmation. Little encounters like these can truly bring a smile on someone’s face and encourage them to continue their volunteering. One of the FACEIT workers dropped by our Discord and asked who did such a fast job on the coverage of the tournament. I remember the first of those types of encounters, it was during Season 2 of the FACEIT Rocket League Universal Open. I mostly lead the direction of our Twitter account, which has also been a great learning experience of becoming familiar with social media management.Ĭoordinating with tournament organizers or possibly even having a tournament page of ours linked in the Twitch chat of the tournament organizer means a lot as well. Our community Twitter which we’ve decided to launch in April 2018 has also been a great way of connecting with our community. Dropping by the Rocket League Esports subreddit and occasionally seeing a thread or comment that sends us acknowledgment or gratitude for the wiki that we’ve built as a group is possibly one of the most heartwarming things it’s greatly appreciated. I think the popularity gain as well as a mark of clear appreciation that grew thicker over time is one of the more notable things to pick out. LZ: Picking out the proudest accomplishment in regards to the wiki is honestly the most difficult thing there’s been so many different achievements I’ve witnessed over the past two and a half years while being part of it. MT: What has been your most proud accomplishment surrounding the wiki? In very early 2018, that’s when I decided to help out Liquipedia more often, but I never thought it would become such a big part of my life, I’d never have envisioned that back then. It’s rough for me to get into an esport that has a protracted history. Rocket League was my first ever esport I took seriously as it had a much shorter history span, unlike other video games such as Counter-Strike that have a history lasting a couple of decades. I found it quite annoying, so I just thought, “maybe I should try it out.” And with that, approached towards making an account and very carefully went ahead and made my first ever edit.Īnd with that, it all slowly started - I made a few more edits on that day, followed by being invited to the Liquipedia Discord to meet other contributors, and very quickly made new friends.Ģ018 is when it all started to kick off, I wanted to dive deeper into the Rocket League Esports scene as prior to that, I only really used to watch RLCS in my spare time.

I pulled up the RLRS EU page for that season, noticing that one of the series results was missing from the day. It was the first day of RLCS Season 4 with the first season of the Rival Series kicking off. When it comes to myself, I joined on September 15, 2017. They were the ones that started it all off and I definitely wouldn’t be where I am now without them, they’re the heroes I appreciate. The three main contributors I can recall that built the foundation of the wiki and pushed it towards its main release in November 2016 are Vogan, tolkienfanatic and TWildMan. The wiki launched as an Alpha Wiki in mid-June 2016. LZ: As a matter of fact, I did not start the Liquipedia Rocket League wiki. MT: Why did you start the Rocket League wiki? Did you envision that it would become such a large part of your life? I love the position I’m currently in with what I do on a daily basis, and sharing it also with other contributors to the wiki makes it even sweeter. Being recognized for your hard efforts is honestly the best thing you can get back from this. In return, I enjoy interacting daily with the community, whether it’s the pros, casters, tournament organizers, friends, fans, etc. LZ: Spending such an amount of time for the wiki makes it worth it for me as a way to give the fanbase an efficient and trustworthy resource to follow their favorite esport. MT: What makes spending so much time on this wiki worth it for you?
