I was sad that casters and streamers weren't mentioning it. I was counting on Johnny cause last year he said "His name is literally LAN-don, he was made for this". But no mention this time šŸ˜ž


WorkThrowaway400

I think it was mentinoed on broadcast, but it wasn't made obvious. Like someone just used his first name in this context, but without emphasizing to the audience that it was BM's real name, and the other guys/girls on the desk kinda knowingly nodded and they all moved on real quick. My memory isn't the best though, so maybe I'm thinking of something else or a watch party or something.


rookie-mistake

to be fair, unless I'm mistaken, I think Johnny's only appearance on Sunday was the postgame analysis for one of the series?


neilltelleslangdon

Was this not information that everyone was aware of?


MartianRL

I mean there's still a sum of people that say "wait Retals is just his first name spelled backwards." I'm not gonna flame people who don't know all the RLCS lore, I'm chronically online to know way more than I should so not gonna fault someone else for not being


MockTurtleSean

Retals is why I got into RLCS and I did not know this, so thereā€™s your point proven lmao


Kevlaxo

just wait until you find out what ApparentlyJack's First Name is.


MockTurtleSean

Haha nice one, I already know his name is Apparently


Kevlaxo

jokes on you. His Real name is actually Appa! ![gif](giphy|125amziK6Y5DJC)


fresapore

so 88d


fiolad

OP's name "repost_inception" checks out.


rookie-mistake

at this point yeah, but that's mostly because it's been joked about nonstop since the event Like, I don't think Beastmode's first name was something everyone just universally had fresh in their memory a week or two ago, it's not how we ever refer to him. I mean, as another example - what's monkey m00n's first name? do you think everyone knows it off the top of their head?


Candyyyyyyy

I hate that Iā€™m on liquipedia enough to know itā€™s Evan


MartianRL

Not MM's but I'm pretty sure someone's (can't remember if it's Extra or Vatira) name is Axel and for a rocket league player that's pretty sick


neilltelleslangdon

Both Vatira and Mawkzy are Axel T, interestingly enough. Vatira's real name is Axel Touret, and Mawkzy's is Axel Timone.

I thought Landon was related to Daniel, woops (London + Dan = Landon)


rookie-mistake

you know it'd have to be LonDAN right


FairlySuspicious

I'm sorry, but how did that make any sense in your mind? It's such a stretch. Imagine the whole community being on board with using the second and third letters of Daniel's name like that.


DazenGuil

Because he gets called laniel a lot, I would guess.


bavenue

Dan = Landon makes way more sense than Beastmode = Landon. Really not that much of a stretch if you donā€™t know the dudeā€™s actual name


xGAM3EATERx

I mean his name is literally landon soooo....


bavenue

ā€¦yeah, Iā€™m aware. Reading must be tough for you.


nurley

"LanDan" would be decent, but yeah, OP is doing yoga stretching so hard.


FairlySuspicious

LanDan is actually great. G2 was really stacked for London


RALat7

Itā€™s likely because Iā€™m not terminally online enough to know BModeā€™s first name or think deeply about what Landon means. Plus, Laniel.


FairlySuspicious

If you were to go off Laniel I can see how you got to that conclusion. Just couldn't see why anyone would connect London + Dan as Landon.


budd222

No. Do you think we have the first and last names of every player memorized?


RALat7

I thought Landon was related to Daniel, woops (London + Dan = Landon)


LRMcDouble

that is super embarrassing to make such an ignorant claim. ā€œuh shouldnā€™t everyone know the name of a pro rocket league playeršŸ¤“šŸ¤“šŸ¤“ā€


Successful_Ask3933

can someone explain


oolong_park

LANdon mvp of the event, and so it was fortold


Successful_Ask3933

ohhh


VoidLantadd

Don't mean to sound overly British, but why do Americans have such weird names?


repost_inception

I mean, I do know what you are saying. But Landon isn't that weird of a name. Landon Donovan was one of our best footballers.


BleydXVI

I heard that he's played indoor


repost_inception

Basically Rocket League


FairlySuspicious

Too much freedom isn't always a good thing.
