Which Team Is Arsenal On Rocket League?

Arsenal's Personality
Other than being one of the staples of Rocket League and SSG, Arsenal is known as one of the biggest personalities in the Rocket League community. He is often flamboyant, brash, and funny, usually all at the same time. Altogether, this makes him very entertaining to watch and listen to, which probably explains why he has almost 700 000 subscribers on Youtube at the time of this writing. He is also well-known for typos and writing almost gibberish in games, making his streams all the more fun.
Arsenal's Playstyle
There's no denying the success he has achieved as a professional Rocket League player. Still, Arsenal is one of those players that have a very high ceiling but may at times lack consistency. In the community, this is popularly dubbed a "momentum-based" player.
When he is at his best, he is an absolute menace on the pitch, making all kinds of crazy mechanical plays, including air dribbles, double and triple flip resets, and of course his famous bumps. He is not only dangerous in offense, but a stalwart defender as well. However, when it's not his day, his presence on the pitch can be described as average at best.
How Much Does SSG Arsenal Make?
You may refer to the table below to see Arsenal's official tournament earnings as a professional Rocket League player.

What Actually Happened Between Arsenal And Retals?
Retals and Arsenal were teammates on SSG for 2 years prior to Retals's departure from the SSG roster in September of 2022. Basically, what preceded the departure by Retals was Arsenal complaining about Retals not playing good enough in the previous few tournaments. According to Arsenal, Retals was not only a liability on the pitch, but was also a toxic, passive-aggressive presence on the team.
Whether Retals truly was behaving this way towards Arsenal and Daniel is hard to say, and there are videos on Youtube by both Arsenal and Retals telling their side of the story. In terms of his performance on the pitch, Retals has always been known as a player who relies more on his high IQ plays and bumps as opposed to his mechanics.
The problem became evident during RLCS 2021-22 - World Championship in August of 2022, which is the last tournament Retals played for SSG with Arsenal before leaving for Optic Gaming. Arsenal and Daniel have since teamed up with LJ.
