Once the match is won post-game interviews are short and hesitant – forced to a stop in the wake of colossal cheers, chants, and the occasional boo. <\/p>\n

When diving into the history of Rocket League’s rowdiest fans, there are two people you have to start with: Alex Knight<\/a> and Emile Cole<\/a>.
