Hi, I'm Gengu. I have been a consistent singularity player in CN servers since I started playing in S4. I'm currently rank 1 in NA servers and have peaked rank 1 in CN servers playing rifles and snipers. I usually play hypercarry characters such as Ming/Audrey and have maintained a high ADR and win rate at the highest elo.

I offer personalized 1-on-1 coaching sessions and VOD reviews tailored to help you achieve your goals and overcome challenges. Feel free to comment on this thread to ask any questions or to set up any 1-on-1 coaching. I will try my best to answer any questions you might have.

Hi Gengu!

I'm not joking when I say that, even as a coach, I've always admired skilled Ming players like you. I watched you play in some games back when we were still in CN, and I was really impressed with your gameplay at that time. Would it be okay if I sent you a Replay file for review? It's a recent high-elo game where I struggled with my Ming half, and I still feel stuck about it. I would really appreciate any tips you could give me! 😭

Hi Gengu, i would be super interested in having a coaching session with you, looking towards understanding dueling, rotations and what to do in the chaos in a teamfight. More than happy to send replays.

near glacier
#

imagine you shoot and zero bullet before yobecome orb

#

and when done orb , what should you do , reload is itr :3

Reload is generally better for flavia

near glacier
#

see

spice verge
#

no

near glacier
#

even coach agree

spice verge
#

my point stays

#

capacity is better

sly sparrow
#

Especially in ult where you get popped

#

It's not much of a difference anyway and both are usable

Yo I need guidance on how to control the recoil on ar characters especially on Ming. I always wonder how the high elo players have such good control on the recoil when I try my bullets almost never land can I get help on this please

Shoot wall once without controlling recoil, you'll see the pattern

And then pull down the opposite direction of the pattern

sly sparrow
#

I do it almost every game I play

#

I usually just buy item, run to where I plan to play and then just shoot a wall and practice controlling recoil before round starts

somber plover
#

I'll keep that in mind

sly sparrow
#

Yea try it out in the range with your most played character and just shoot the wall over and over until you are happy with it

#

U can shoot from different distances and you'll get a feel for how much you need to pull down at each distance

Hello @sly sparrow I would like to request a 1-on-1 session with you in order to figure out what decisions I can be making.

I mainly play Reiichi and Nobunaga. I will be maining Galatea as well once she comes out. But In short I would like coaching for my decision making and position.
My time is 5PM - 11:50 PM PST Im fine with basically any day

Hello @sly sparrow , I'm interested in either a 1-on-1 coaching session or VOD review whenever you have time.
I tend to play Ming, Lawine, Michelle and Nobunaga, but I often play flex when I'm playing with my friends.
I'm not too sure what exactly I'm particularly bad at gameplay-wise, so any I'd really appreciate any input and help you could give me.
My availability is really erratic, but I'm usually free after normal NA work hours.

I can usually do 2 or 3 sessions per day so some of you guys might have to wait a couple days, some people have already booked sessions for tomorrow and day after

Hi @sly sparrow ,
I would like to request a vod review session to help iron out my decision making and teamplay. I'm a little new to fps games and even more new to tac fps games as before strinova i have only really played krunker, quake live/champions, and casual apex. Because of having never played many team based fps games i think my decision making and positioning are by far my worse skill.
Currently i'm bouncing between silver 1 and gold 3 and I believe an outside opinion will really help me see the mistakes i'm making that i dont realize in the moment.
On both sides i play fushia and celestia, on atk i play ming and lawine, and on defense i play michele and audrey
I'm available almost every day from like 1pm-4am eastern time (except this saturday and sunday)

Hello @sly sparrow I'm a big fan from watching through the eyes of my good pal Waffles.

I'm a diamond(was pushing to Master but global dropped earlier than expected) in CN. I got Atom 2 from my placement games on the first day of global release but I haven't pushed much since then.

I am a full-on Ming and Michele main on attack and defense respectively.

I'd like to set up a coaching session with you regarding aim specifically since I've heard from other coaches that you excel in that aspect. Also how to effectively entry into site as Ming is also something I want to work on despite knowing a fair amount already.
My usual available times are <t:1734168636:t> to <t:1734112836:t>. I'd love to be able to schedule a time with you!I promise to provide cookies 🍪

Howdy, gengu! I'm looking for some 1 on 1 coaching to help with improving my aim/movement, decision making, and whatever else that could help me get somewhere in ranked play. I am a flex player for now so I find myself playing Ming pretty often.

I'm available most days before 4pm PST. Thanks for helping out! wow

+REP Gengu is a very good coach, and thanks to his advice I was able to clearly understand how to change my old habits when I play. Thanks to him, I was able to see the flaws in my two agents Audrey and Celestia, which will enable me to establish new strategies.

Gengu is not only a good coach, he also advised me on what I should be working on, thinking carefully about what I do with my economy, how I should take part in my fights, and also what I need to work on to strive for good mechanics. I recommend you go to him if you want precise and qualitative advice(s).

prime harness
#

I do have a question tho my damage is usually not very high in your lobbies. Is there anyway i can do more dmg while supporting @sly sparrow

#

cuz ik im not suppose to take many 1v1

sly sparrow
#

depends what you're playing

prime harness
#

Meredith

sly sparrow
#

if you're playing a support rifler, you won't really have as many engagements as your ming player or your flex duelist

prime harness
#

Etc

sly sparrow
#

your value comes from your util

prime harness
#

Do u think my util was impactful in anyway when i played with u or against u

sly sparrow
#

you can play more agro on those characters but its almost never the right play in high elo

prime harness
#

that's true

sly sparrow
#

i dont remember it very well but good support util can be very annoying to deal with

prime harness
#

Idk i just don't feel like I deserve the rank even though i think my util was pretty well used

sly sparrow
#

especially when all of the support util is stacked on one person

#

lawine 1-2 knife, meredith slow, etc

#

i have had games where a lot of util is stacked on me and its very painful to play

#

but if you do that you have nothing to contest the other 4 players

prime harness
#

Yeah ion like the idea of stacking everything on 1 guy either

sly sparrow
#

it doesnt work most of the time but the point is

#

if youre playing a support character you cant expect to have high dmg every game

#

you will have some games where you have to do the dmg for your duelists but more often than not they are the ones with the most engagements

prime harness
#

Are you able to do any one on one anytime soon?

#

Cause i think there also certain mechanics that im lacking just that I'm not able to identify

sly sparrow
#

Yea this week should be good

fierce blade
sly sparrow
#

Most of my games are audrey ct/ming t

fierce blade
#

Uhh, Ming is fine. But I’d like replays so I can spectate your teammates too.

sly sparrow
#

I have a few sniper/nobu as well

#

I know you were asking for nobu earlier

fierce blade
#

Nobunaga too. Seems good

sly sparrow
#

I have some vods of nobu on 404 but most of them aren’t anything crazy stat wise

#

I haven’t had much time on his gun

fierce blade
#

I’d like it anyway. I don’t know how to play him on 404

sly sparrow
#

Ok I can send tomorrow when I’m on my pc

#

404 nobu replays and any other map?

fierce blade
#

Can you get Ming replays for Cosmite and Port Euler?

sly sparrow
#

Cosmite is the desert map?

fierce blade
#

Yes

sly sparrow
#

It’s not in ranked yet so I don’t have any cosmite vods

#

I have plenty on Euler tho

fierce blade
#

Never mind then. Just port Euler is good.

Are regular nades meta for defense and smoke grenades meta on offense? Because on the second half, I see your team running 5 smokes on offense while the enemy runs 5 nades on defense on Base 404.

Also, why are healgrenades bad? I see only one guy in the Base 404 game run a heal grenade.

#

i was there!!

sly sparrow
# fierce blade Are regular nades meta for defense and smoke grenades meta on offense? Because o...

Regular nades are very strong on CT side for most maps because of its stopping power and you can push enemies off angles on retakes. 90% of the time you'll see at least 3-4 regular nades in high elo ct side
Smokes are good on T side for map control and for abusing scans through them. Heal nades don't get much value since most people just rely on light regen armor and armor packs from kills for sustain and 1 is usually more than enough.

tepid dock
#

do you think when coaching low elo players you lose some of the coaching quality specific to yourself?

#

as in would you be giving basic advice that most other players around your level would give?

#

not that that's a bad thing

sly sparrow
#

For the most part yes, because most of the basic stuff is very important and is a good starting point. I would say when players are lower level its general information that they need usually so in a way I'm not fully giving higher level tips because they aren't at that level yet to understand. I try my best to give advice that will lead to the most improvement for them. This game has a lot to it and it's very easy to be drowned in information and not many people can handle that in an hour long session.

#

but vod reviews I can get done in my own time

karmic crag
#

that's fine the main problem i'm having tbh is how to utilize ming's orb properly to create space for team and be consistent in gunfights

#

like my match history is just win loss win loss and so on

sly sparrow
#

I would need to see what you’re doing wrong in your gunfights

#

as for ming orb

#

you can use it in many different ways

#

you can use it to slow enemies for picks, or speed yourself up for space and taking gunfights

#

can be used to deny space as well

karmic crag
#

i normally use it to create space most of the time or to flush out enemies sitting around corners

sly sparrow
#

yeah its got many uses

#

but again, I need to see gameplay

karmic crag
#

ye i'm tryna figure out how to get match recording

#

from the game itself

#

this just gives me the replay file 😭

sly sparrow
#

you download the match from your match history, go to appdata/local/strinova/saved/demos

#

file should be there and then you can just upload that to Google drive or something

I noticed on the Base 404 replay, on Ming, you first bought light shield only switched to heavy shield later on. What made you decide to do that?

Switch to heavy after buying 50% armor steal and awakening

@sly sparrow do we need to pay for these btw

sly sparrow
bronze plank
sly sparrow
#

1-2 gives you temporary armor and only really gives you a good amount of armor if you hit more than 1 person with the initial explosion of your q. Temporary armor fades away within seconds and is only good for taking fights in that short period of time. You get more armor value from sitting in your q in 1-3 and the way I play ming I don’t really need the extra temporary armor to take duels and its more value for me to run 1-3 instead

#

It also makes you very hard to kill if you’re taking fights within your Q in 1-3

#

If you’re hitting your shots as well, you lifesteal a lot of dmg back

+REP
gengu is extremely helpful pointing out key things about certain characters and maps, what basics I should be focusing on, and even introducing an extremely strong and important tech that I was not aware of.

Certain things like Lowain's knife will not pulse anymore if it does not detect anything after the initial pulse, how to deal with Flavia's ultimate by standing near the edge, and pixel peaks on Base 404.

Crazy tech like gaining high movement speed and still be able to ADS/Shoot accurately is an insane tech.

Stuff like if you know that you are not being looked at, take the time to aim your shoot, dont move, make it easier for youself.

Truly insightful session, wonderful coach. I want to sign up for another session

highly recommended.

How do you approach playing defense as Audrey? My current impression of the game on most maps is that I should generally play up ahead of the barrier for early info and then fall back to see if there's a push. The problem there is that I think it doesn't give me enough time to set up in turret form. From my current experience, it feels ok to play like that and just take fights with ADS. Is that playstyle a viable approach or is it typically better to play back and set up in turret waiting for an enemy?

scarlet shoal

Hi Gengu, beside mode Team Deathmatch and team arena, I always use Audrey (if my team doesn't have Audrey) and Nobunaga. I really need to learn how to use Nobunaga properly cus I'm struggled so much with his gameplay, and for Audrey my aim is always miss and of course I'm (kinda) always the one who's dying first when I pick her. So any tips how to improve to play them ? I think I'm free for tomorrow

as soon as it regens I look for chip damage on enemy

sly sparrow
#

both movement and aim

#

shes useless otherwise

#

she has the strongest full auto rifle in the game and a shield that can tank headshots and bodyshots for you

#

you dont get value from those if your mechanics are not up to par

How am I suppose to improve it by the way ? Like enemies have their way to dodge it

erm hi

#

im a new player and possibly fuchsia main

#

but sometime my movement just f up and go straight at 4 ppl

#

how do i improve that and what to do in the begining of the round?

sly sparrow
#

U can shoot them while moving around

the very basic

#

or sth

sly sparrow
#

I mean it depends which side as well, if I’m playing fuschia on T side I’m generally looking to make space for my team or isolate 1v1s

#

Maybe some rounds you might wanna lurk or hold flanks

#

As for ct side I usually just play on whatever site my teammates need help on

#

Fast rotate or flank

+REP gengu is extremely knowledgeable and was able to provide direction on ways to improve game sense and mechanics through ranked play.

Gave advice on how to make better use of Yvette and Meredith's skills and which grenades to bring, areas to watch, and when to assist teammates, etc. Very professional and polite! 10/10 would recommend!

hi Gengu, im a fuchsia main and i would like to learn how to properly take fights as well as what util is best for her. there are games where i top frag by a considerable margin and there are games where i always get picked first and cant seem to get a pick. i would also like tips on how to fight multiple people at once and be able to run away when in danger. i am free whenever and currently i am stuck in molecule I - atom IV. thank you!

@sly sparrow hey gengu! I messaged you earlier this week for a 1 on 1 slot sometime this week. I was wondering if you were still available sometime thursday or friday. If it's too much on your schedule, you could just push me to the weekend or something. I just wanted to know if there was still an availability some time this week. Sorry for the bother

hello gengu, I tried to ask earlier this week is there still a slot for me this week or I'll have to wait til next week ?

#

Hi gengu, do you have a time slot for maybe next week or so? Cuz I've seen that a lot of people reach out to u so I'm not even sure if u do...
But yeah, the reason that I'm reaching out to you is because I've heard that you're a cracked ming player and I really wanna get better at ming, my overall gunplay and maybe incorporate some decision making and overall game awareness into that.
So if you do have time for me pls do let me know when. Thanks!

Hello Gengu i would also like to book a session too because i'm baby raging 😭 alot in this game. It's generally a problem with me losing every fight i have and generally don't know what to do even after watching tons of video and reading the same tips and over and over again... I really want to main duelist because i love being aggressive (It's fine for you to decide when we can conduct the session)

if it wasn't clear from before I'd also like to book a session the next time you're available

Good evening Gengu i wanna ask how to send my vods, do i just record it all and send it to you via dm or is there a website that record my gameplay?

#

Hello gengu, I have heard that you prefer Ming's A3. I would like to know when to buy either Light or Heavy armor for her, and how to you use both Ming A2 and Ming A3. A vod for your Ming gameplays would be appreciated if possible. Thank you!

sly sparrow
dapper peak
sly sparrow
#

Usually a2 is better if you are light armor

#

a3 is better if you are running heavy and rounds drag out

#

+3 duration on q is a must for a3

#

a3 is also a very different playstyle from a2

static zealot
sly sparrow
#

euler and cauchy

#

i almost always run a3 it just suits my playstyle more

#

a2 is definitely usable tho but not really as efficient as a3 at least for my playstyle

static zealot
#

Thank you for the advice and replays! I'll look over them to see how you play Ming

static zealot
#

From what I can understand after watching the replays, it seems that you use Ming Q on areas where you suspect/know someone would likely be hiding around the corner while also might plan to enter? I also noticed you use Ming Q in very short distances to ensure it lands successfully?

sly sparrow
#

i like to hold my qs especially if its a3

#

there are many ways u can use ming q 1 or 2 vods arent going to showcase all the different ways

#

a lot of adapting mid game

static zealot
#

Either way those vods are still definitely insightful, thanks for all the advice!

silver oar
sly sparrow
#

Can’t always run it down

#

But generally yea

#

U can still use your qs to slow people or speed urself up for space

That’s the thing with ming

gengu, you always run hs upg over paper upgrade for audrey right

sly sparrow

Also I think I might revamp this whole coaching thing and add pre reqs because I don’t think I can really teach basics as well as other coaches

Will try to get through my list I have rn first and then see

Then try to control it

Until it’s at a point I’m happy with

Mix in some movement once you really get comfortable controlling recoil while standing still

sharp bear
#

do you have an aim training routine on Aimlabs or Kovaaks?

#

I have tremors so I need aim training

sly sparrow
#

I don’t think aim training can help your tremors @sharp bear

sharp bear
#

I just need aim training

#

I'm plat 3 rn trust

sly sparrow
#

I’d recommend a low sens

#

And heavy mouse

#

Sry autocorrect

sharp bear
#

got it

sly sparrow
#

It won’t affect you as much compared to higher sens

#

Heavy is prob like 80-90g

#

U would need a larger mousepad tho if you want to convert to low sens

#

And for scenarios

#

Smoothing scenarios on kovaaks

#

Tracking and target switching

#

All pretty good for this game and mouse control in general

sharp bear
#

okay thank you gengu

wraith brook
#

isn't lighter mice the meta for tracking based games w long ttk ??

#

i come from apex and most top players use pretty light mice so idk if it's different in strinova

sly sparrow
#

because the guy has tremors

#

lighter mice is better

wraith brook

oh my fault

#

but not for a guy with tremors

Hey Gengu id love to set up a 1 on 1 coaching session at some point if youd have me. I want to improve. I know the mechanics of the game pretty well but still feel like i could be doing something to make my games go better.

scenic garnet
#

Hi gengu, I would like to request a 1 on 1 coaching session on the decision making you do as a Ming/duelist main. Often times I find myself clueless on positioning myself once my team has already entered site and there are no enemies in sight. I also find it difficult to find the timing on pushing a 1v1 at times so I would appreciate any pointers you could give to my current playstyle. Do let me know of your availability, thanks! worryPray

tame wasp
#

halo gengu, is there any way to reduce the stress when having to clutch or unexpected 1v1 situations? every time i encounter those situations my hand start shaking as hell and my aim is also affected by that. (I can still aim at the enemy in combat but sometimes it affects the aim so I often press the mouse hard and it reduce the smoothness while moving the mouse than usual)

sly sparrow
#

@scenic garnet @narrow moth sorry but I might not have time for any 1 on 1 sessions for a while since my classes started up again. I’ll post a message in this thread when I’m ready to do more sessions along with some pre reqs.

scenic garnet
sly sparrow
#

If it’s because you’re worried about the outcome of the round or what your teammates think spectating you, it’s mostly just time played and experience that can help. Focus on yourself and learn to not care as much about the outcome of the round, but on what you can take away from the round and how you can do things differently in the future. Training your mechanics and being confident in your abilities can also go a long way in reducing stress in these situations

@sly sparrow Do you usually shoulder fire or ADS mainly? I'm feeling shoulder fire is so RNG at times where i can't hit shots with spread control, so I started to ADS more, but not seeing improvement im looking for

#

Even from 5-7-10 meters shoulder fire should be used

#

and even ADS if you can handle that/need the shots to connect

#

@sly sparrow please send me your vods of high intensity/close games if you have them. Please and thank you

@wary dust you can literally make recoil nonexistent other than the small left right variations of the spray pattern but if you memorize that too you’ll be alright

hexed aurora
#

@sly sparrow whats the order of upgrades you do for ming? ie spread control first, base dmg 2nd , etc etc

primal ore
#

oh..

#

then do i have to record the whole game?

sly sparrow
#

spread last buy

#

some games ill go string + mag before any yellows

#

a3 almost always

sly sparrow
#

and it helps if its a recording i can open whenever

wary dust
#

is base dmg + String always the way to go for everyone?

sly sparrow
#

versus a replay file which i have to be on my pc

i heard 50% DMG Reduction is coming in cn

it is in higher elo

Hey Gengu, just wanted to ask advice for a 5 stack comp for the tournaments coming up, we def want to run Ming, Lawine , and Celestia, but the other two are still being figured out, what would you recommend for those last two spots :D

hollow bridge
ashen umbra
#

We were thinking Reiichi, our team just isn’t great at utilizing his walls, so we plan to work on that tonight

#

But it’s all map and player dependent, you don’t want to force a player on something they aren’t comfortable on or something that’s weak on certain maps. You don’t have to run the standard controller + flex for those 2 slots, some maps you can get away with no controllers and have more value from having that extra scanner/duelist on your team instead

ashen umbra
#

Ooo Okay thank you!, We are trying to figure out who plays what role, for what maps and sides, so stressful lol

Hey gengu, I was in a challenge game with you some time ago and I noticed that you were moving in a peculiar way, switching weapons and jumping as opposed to jumping and gliding. Was that just for fun or is it faster and/or quieter than gliding? And if so, how do you do it properly?
