Rocket League is the kind of game that, once you've played it enough to appreciate the incredible level of skill required to be good at it, you can happily watch it just as you'd watch a real-life sport. There have been plenty of Rocket League goals throughout 2015 that left us awestruck, but there's something about this one - from that backflip to get the ball into the air, to that precise rocket-propelled follow-up, right through to the other team desperately leaping back to try and stop the shot - that captures the spirit of the recently-inaugurated eSport. As a Rocket League player, you can almost feel the white-knuckle desperation of the orange team, and the raw focus of the goalscorer in this clip. If you're not a Rocket League player and don't relate to this, then you're missing out on what's certain to carry on being a huge gaming phenomenon over the coming years.
