[quaint tapir]

So you’re saying I’ll get celestial with core pad?

[thin dawn]

so new astra scores soon?

[thin dawn]

you can become what ever you want

[quaint tapir]

I’ve been nerfing myself with stock skates

[thin dawn]

maybe thats the way

if i use stock skates for 1 month maybe i become aim god

KEKW

leave the stock skates till you see some inconsistency with your glide

as long as its good its good

[quaint tapir]

Shroud was right

[thin dawn]

ya know

[quaint tapir]

They were sooo scratchy at first, but just got used to it

[thin dawn]

idk why people hate the gpx so much

[weak hull]

Literally just 1k polling

[quaint tapir]

Boring shape

[weak hull]

And maybe not so great stock skates

[thin dawn]

who tf cares?

[quaint tapir]

It’s 4k now :)

[weak hull]

Have you seen what server we’re in?

[thin dawn]

bruh if i hit my shots i play on 10 pouling

fuck it

haha

[weak hull]

There is not a single more tempting thing in the world than to blame your peripherals for your plateaus

Of course people are fucking obsessed about them in here lol

[thin dawn]

and shape is basic but prob one of the best ones for 90% of the people

[thin dawn]

ye i played on 60hz for the longest but i didnt blame it and improved imagine

[weak hull]

OK, hold up 60 Hz is kind of cringe

Those were the bad times we didn’t know better back then we’re better now

[thin dawn]

• i also plug in my gpx btw then it plays only on 1k herz

its still better

[quaint tapir]

60hz is ooof

[thin dawn]

hit masters on 60hz cuz my 240 hz broke

it helped me to simplify my aim

cuz you dont see every shake

i would have 3 energy less if it wasnt 60 hz

good night boys, see ya tommorrow when i hit masters in angleshot

[weak hull]

Yerrrrr

[delicate mountain]

More angleswitch lol. MASSIVE thing for that one is try to focus on NOT spawn farming. Always have another target lined up cause they’re set to jiggle off spawn (I think intentionally to prevent spawn farming)

[thorn jacinth]

you got any hot tips for sphere or swayswitch?

so close to gm in both but cant get over the hump

[delicate mountain]

Haven’t grinded either of those sorry brother 😔

[weak hull]

Flick directly to the bot

[delicate mountain]

…

[weak hull]

Basically every score past Gm is just that but more gooder

It sucks

[delicate mountain]

Damn. If only I knew that

[weak hull]

Speedts is hard lmao!

[delicate mountain]

That and better target selection

[weak hull]

The thing about TS that you have to understand is that flicking to the next bot in line is literally all you do, so even a five or 10% increase in your optimization results in dramatic improvements for your speed and scores

[thorn jacinth]

how to optimize?

[weak hull]

Something that has really helped me has actually been slowing down my flicks and prioritizing, full and accurate flicks. A big problem I would have is for my longer distance flicks, I would under flick and then kind of coast to the dot. Well, this doesn’t actually cause any inefficient pathing, it still is not a full distance flick and is hugely costly whenever RNG makes you deal with some far bots

I really enjoy the scenario at the front of the VDIM playlist because it really kinda gets me warm to pacing myself for solid full range flicks with a controlled stop that allow me to start doing damage immediately to buy as soon as I’m on it

[delicate mountain]

Avoid wide flicks or flicks with no “return path” at all costs. Only flick to bots that have a natural successor. Only tip I got

If you flick to a bot on the far side with no others in LOS your run is dead

[thorn jacinth]

the fact that speed switching is so simple makes it so aids to refine

[delicate mountain]

Fr

[thorn jacinth]

what fov do you guys use for sphere?

[weak hull]

This is the real truth

It is just so pure

Raw fundies

Flick + smoothly track at destination

[weak hull]

125 or 130

120 or 115 for skyswitch

103 or maybe 110 for sway

[thorn jacinth]

damn that's high

[weak hull]

Gotta see bro

Being able to see where I’m going strengthens my hand eye coordination and massively improves my pathing

[delicate mountain]

prolly like 110 or 115 OW for sphereswitch for me

[delicate mountain]

actually i do have a few tips, some you may already know some you may not. for any of the switching scenarios, using a "defined" killsound helps keep you from leaving bots unfinished and really improves speed (i like kick_tape). also, trying to stay in the center of the map helps a ton too for sphereswitch, sometimes clusters will take you to the outsides but it's advantagous to track the first bot you can back to the center after finishing the cluster. other than that it's pretty pure like Ben said.
edit
OH ONE MORE!
Going off what he also said about being able to see where you're going, because the movement patterns are extremely predictable, focusing your eyes on the next target while tracking the current one in your peripherals will improve your initial flicks a ton

[weak hull]

With sphere switch, I will say it’s super important to be consistent with your bot kill times because efficient pathing means not really hit confirming your bots and not confirming bots on sphere switch is kind of tough if you are not reliably killing them the same way every time.

Sphere switch is also very vertical compared to the other two speed TS scenarios

The combo of heavy vertical flicks combined with a relatively fast bot speed makes for very angular movements that kind of requires some pattern learning in a way that the other two speed TS scenarios don’t really demand. I think training specifically for sphere switch is compared to the other two.

The physical movement is just too weird

[delicate mountain]

Skyswitch is super easy its like berryTS but bigger targets lol

That's what i grinded for gm in speed cause i'm more of a static guy... now i wanna get sphereswitch tho

[thorn jacinth]

yea i got sky gm first too

[quaint tapir]

ok just put on corepads, sureellyy I should get celestial scores now 😄

[wispy robin]

peripheral rabbit hole go brr

[thin dawn]

If ur a static guy, any tipps for static? 🙂

[delicate mountain]

go fast!

nah honestly the aimlab official ranked static tasks helped me push my speed pretty well

that and going back to like fiveshot intermediate and trying to push that score higher

[thin dawn]

Ye thats what i started like 3 days ago

[delicate mountain]

static is pretty 1 dimensional. get more consistent with initial flicks and faster with micros

[thin dawn]

Im trying to get into pushing speed on easier tasks more lately

[delicate mountain]

yeah it's a good approach

[thin dawn]

What are your thoughts on bringing in smoothness to the point that your flick and your micro transitions into one motion?

[delicate mountain]

I think that its situational. For wider flicks I think a harder flick is more advantageous because the main obstacle is closing the gap, if they are closer together then i think a smoother flick, like one you'd do for dynamic, is probably more optimal because you can continue your path without stopping to chain hits

[thin dawn]

@weak hull so do you never let your arm hit the mousepad or how do you train (not just static)

#advice message

[weak hull]

I use my shoulder to stabilize my arm, and I use my arm, palm, and wrist from moment to moment as a tool to adjust the friction I have between me and the surface

[thin dawn]

Okok

[weak hull]

I noticed that a lot of my problems horizontally came from the fact that my arm was sitting too heavily on the desk, which was increasing the amount of friction I was getting, which meant that my flicks would punish me more for being off, and I would have to fix it with my wrist

By using my upper shoulder to stabilize my arm, I am able to half float my arm off the table which lets me get more glide and almost lets me make adjustments to my flick distance, more flexibly. Then when I’m in position, I stick my arm down and that grounded feelings help stabilize me for the micro correction.

[thin dawn]

So you adjust your arm how heavy its on the desk depending on how much friction you wanna use

[weak hull]

Exactly; switching to this style of thinking has not only allowed me to dramatically improve my technique at 80 cm, it has actually made it so that my technique scales up to 40 cm and I can actually use my static technique on higher sens just as cleanly

[thin dawn]

I gotta try that out

Are you a real coach btw, this looks like some crazy setup ur on

[weak hull]

I work in a $5 million facility if that answers your question

[thin dawn]

👀

[thin dawn]

#1240692538625491065 message

[long glacier]

like a pro team or some?

[weak hull]

I work at a college

Our esports facility is nice

[long glacier]

oh cool

[weak hull]

We did k12 state championships last week

A bunch of high schoolers are getting rings for winning overwatch state

How things change

[long glacier]

damn

[thin dawn]

Bro i wish we had that, but i guess i have mountains 🙆🏼‍♂️

[weak hull]

Here’s my stuff I made today for when you can look at it

My thought process is to use it to help people understand what the arm movements should feel like for static

Then you just stick your mouse in your hand and boom

Good technique

[thin dawn]

I gotta try that

Wait u are german?

[weak hull]

By ethnicity

[thin dawn]

I speek german 😂

[weak hull]

[thin dawn]

Ye there’s no collage i know from germany with a good e sports support 😂😂

[long glacier]

getting a hs is madness rn

[thin dawn]

Welcome to the grind

[thin dawn]

i can see the potential, my big flicks got way faster but i struggle with acc like this, i just need to get used to the technique

after 5 min i got 1145

might be the waý

[weak hull]

i was the same

my scores didn't change

but the way i felt like i could scale my technique felt massive

[thin dawn]

how do you trensition to the micro part?

thats like what i struggle the most with to build resistence

lower my arm

[weak hull]

i spend time warming up my micros with vt microshot

[thin dawn]

why that

its dynamic no?

ye feeling good

when i trasiton to lower my arm for micro i can see some wiggling

[weak hull]

Ya it’s weird

It’s kind of like a stamp

[thin dawn]

but scores are consistend

[weak hull]

You move the stamp to the next dot then you stamp

[weak hull]

It was like that for me as well.

[thin dawn]

did push speed and i can go insanly fast just need to learn how to controll that speed, if i can master the transition from flick to micro im good

[weak hull]

I’m saying

I feel the power

You’ll get it!

[thin dawn]

one day

[weak hull]

👀

Good accuracy need pace

[thin dawn]

babysteps day 2

[weak hull]

👀 big pb soon

[thin dawn]

if i stop missing so much i go ins ane

btw that score up didnt give me energy so its still tied @weak hull

[weak hull]

Heard

I’m not really feeling Gm today for static

I feel good

But I’m only performing about as well as I was yesterday.

I will have to utterly smash a run to make it happen

[thin dawn]

idk but when i play pasu my focus is gone after 10 min

[weak hull]

Fuck pasu tbh

[thin dawn]

😮

only after i hit gm score pls

haHA

[weak hull]

Relatable

[delicate laurel]

wow

thought u were in love with pasu

[weak hull]

You have to lie a bit to get your kids to take the medicine

Shit is hard and sucks but that is why it’s good for you

Pasu grind will transform your aim

[delicate laurel]

that’s true

[weak hull]

Playing dynamic clicking was going to be good for all of the people transitioning into advanced scenarios; if you didn’t have some kind of motivator, you probably weren’t going to do it

[thin dawn]

i fucked up

[tribal finch]

same

[weak hull]

Damn

[thin dawn]

jeah a lot of practice today, but at the weekend imma try to go crazy

i feel like i have the potential to go gm, but the last push is whats missing

[thin dawn]

Imagine you are at work and the only thing you do is chilling in discord so you think about aiming

Fk me 😂

[long glacier]

what game r yall aim training for?

[quaint tapir]

the new sugma game

[thin dawn]

Chess

[quaint tapir]

elo?

[thin dawn]

700 😂😂😂

[quaint tapir]

1v1 me lil bro

[thin dawn]

😂😂😂

Ill loose every day

[quaint tapir]

gimme ur elo points

[thin dawn]

😂😂😂

[long glacier]

brah i be getting magnific starts at angleshot but ending it like shit

[thin dawn]

jeah its the focus same is happending to me

[long glacier]

[long glacier]

my hands just get shaky as i know its a new record

[thin dawn]

ye thats unlucky

just need to grind and you will get better scores

[thin dawn]

fully whiffed could have been an insane one

also big whiffs in there

yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[weak hull]

damn close

this last stretch is the hardest

good luck

[thin dawn]

60% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

[thin dawn]

sry but i got more points in a videogame now 😛

pushing speed for static is hard af tho

[weak hull]

yep

every single extra point you get in 3 shot now is 1 energy

until GM

so let that be motivation

[thin dawn]

ye

only 40 more dots to go

POG

[weak hull]

1250

intermediate is 1320 for master.

[thin dawn]

40 dots till gm

easy

[weak hull]

for threeshot?

dots are 10 points each

[thin dawn]

if i hit 40 more i should be gm no?

[weak hull]

your high is 1181

so you need at least 7 or 8 dots faster with the same amount of misses

or your current pace with basically just 1 miss.

[thin dawn]

i mean gm rank

[weak hull]

ohhhh

[thin dawn]

not score

[weak hull]

heard

[thin dawn]

[weak hull]

you're just gonna grind static to gm?

[thin dawn]

dream big, loose bigger

idk but im missing so much in static lately

ok goals for static, cleaning up my fast motions, working on micros since i miss alot. Also changed my sitting lately to get into a more healthy position so i need to adjust

[long glacier]

play smaller target static for micros

[thin dawn]

ill practice that tomorrow

now we go dynamic

lets see

maybe today is the day

[weak hull]

ya you hit bit static dubs

i say celebrate and just move on

[thin dawn]

its friday, im not going without a party

[weak hull]

dude i'm fucking pacing for this

just gotta lock in

i'm so close

[thin dawn]

2 min break

get into your brain

say you hit

every shot

ez 1300

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zKJ7-Crm8

what is this 😮

[thorn jacinth]

need to go faster than that and maintain it the full 60 for gm

[thin dawn]

bro hizku is 5 heasd

wtf

🙂

now comes grind time

1 hour angleshot straight

[weak hull]

You can do it!

[thin dawn]

lol watching mattys video, he says the technique helps a lot with scores

first pic he posts after

worth

[long glacier]

is this harder than the hard version of angleshot advanced?

[thorn jacinth]

its easier actually since its the speed version

bigger targets to encourage focus on more clicks

[long glacier]

speed is nothing without accuracy

[thorn jacinth]

cool

[thin dawn]

wtfffffffffffffffffffffff

guyyyyyyys

its overrrrrrrrrrrr

[thorn jacinth]

big dubskis

[thin dawn]

oh shiet

[weak hull]

Damn

[thin dawn]

10 day grind payed off right there

69% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

[thin dawn]

@quaint tapir ty so much for the technique ❤️

omg omg omg

[weak hull]

105 to nova!

[thin dawn]

im shaking

[weak hull]

idk what i just did

i just didn think

this run

it was full autopilot

its overrr

lets fkn gooo

[eager mantle]

he was on pace for 960 unless im missing something lol

[quaint tapir]

400 in 20 seconds

Oh im tripping

Nvm

All good Astra next

[long glacier]

we getting there..

slowly

[quaint tapir]

ez

[thin dawn]

Worked out to much and feeling very jittery, but still good scores 🙂

[thin dawn]

[quaint tapir]

bro is close

[thin dawn]

1 more dot

on hard

[weak hull]

You can do it keep going

[thin dawn]

wtffffffffffffffff

im going all in

this weekend

78% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

brooooooooooooo

[weak hull]

Yeah

Nova is 2400

[thin dawn]

jeah thats crazy but thats 945 points

right there

im kinda close

[wispy robin]

dude cracked the code

[thin dawn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoscDym8IkY

hell yeah, good day

gonna go for some static later but first gonna go and enjoy some real life 🙂

[weak hull]

Das a big pb good job

[thin dawn]

your turn now i wanna see some crazy shit when i come back

[weak hull]

Rest day 🙂

[thin dawn]

well then i wanna see some crazy shit tomorrow

Holy rewatching this my aim today is so wiggly 😂😂

No smoothness at all

[delicate laurel]

👀 👀

22% to go

[weak hull]

I’m saying

Bro is gonna make it

[long glacier]

LETS FUCKINNGG GOOOOO

nah i found out how to break records easy

if you do good your mind will automatically think you have already hit the hs and you will start missing and going slower

if you tell yourself youre not going to hit a new hs you literally get rid of any emotion

[weak hull]

Mental toughness is literally just gaslighting yourself into performing better so

That’s a fat pb tho

[long glacier]

the difference of tricking yourself into actually believing youre not gonna hit a pb if you dont perform on the last seconds and only thinking ur not hitting it is crazy

you must believe it from your entire heart

[weak hull]

That’s the secret; when the adrenaline is flowing, there is no way you were going to be able to calm yourself down. You’re only two choices are to allow that energy to turn into anxiety, and you crumple from the pressure, or you turn that adrenaline into an excited energy that drives an intense state of focus.

I work with these concepts, all the time for players who compete in brackets with tournament anxiety

Staying calm is futile and a pointless exercise

Recognize when you are in a state of high energy and use it to push yourself harder than you otherwise could

We aren’t panicking; we are just recognizing that we are in that state of Heightened focus and tapping into it on purpose

In a way, this is very similar to meditation, where we are so focused on our task in front of us that we do not have time for doubt or worry. We want to be engaged to the point where our task requires our full attention and it helps eliminate distractions.

As you continue to aim train, it will benefit you greatly to become more aware of how your own adrenal system functions, and learning how to recognize when this heightened state of arousal is upon you so that you can capitalize on it

Personal best will come automatically when you combine a practice session with clean and accurate technique, with recognizing that a heightened state of arousal has happened and tapping into it

[long glacier]

👍

legit MADMAN mindset.

[weak hull]

That’s a fat pb

[long glacier]

brah being 1 target away 3 times in a row is painful af

god bless

[eager mantle]

W

[thin dawn]

W

[peak elm]

Bro achieved flow state

[weak hull]

Un ironically, yes

[peak elm]

I'll tap into 100% brain powet eventually

When that happens I'll go straight to celestial in a week

[eager mantle]

just bottled jade in angleshot in the last second😭

[weak hull]

Damn close

[quaint tapir]

Teed

[long glacier]

what task do yall think is the easiest on reactive tracking?

[thin dawn]

Pilltrack or axistrack (more rng)

[eager mantle]

i got jade on angleshot and so close to master too

[thin dawn]

Jeah i saw that

You gotta get that master baby

[eager mantle]

wait how

[eager mantle]

ill try to get that today

[thin dawn]

.

wait thats only almost jade

im trippin

u got better socre?

holy grinders

[eager mantle]

yeah

i was averaging like 750 and then in one try i got that

[thin dawn]

holy

thats a huge jump

[thin dawn]

Boys do we have any good scenarios not vt related for aimlabs? Looking for some usefull scenarios

[eager mantle]

try these 2 one of them is static and other is speed i think

[thin dawn]

y they nice 🙂 thank you

[thin dawn]

wow man no real progress on static 😦

[long glacier]

axistrack is also rng....?

[thin dawn]

je way more then pilltrack

[long glacier]

god damn

hitting gm on reactive will be a nightmare

[eager mantle]

does anybody know how to deal with hands sweat?

its pretty common for me to get my hands sweaty

[weak hull]

Mouse grips

That’s half of it

Other half is going to be products

Liquid chalk is great

[eager mantle]

my grip is claw

[weak hull]

Not talking about how you hold

Talking about adding on stickers to the mouse that are grippy

[eager mantle]

oh i see

thanks

[weak hull]

Yeah, they sell products for people who sweat more than normal; some examples of brands are liquid chalk, and gamer goo

I also just recommend washing your hands semi regularly if you get clammy a lot.

I know a lot of people who use products like that for fighting games since they need to have a good grip on their controllers when they play

[thin dawn]

big avr right now

i was on gm pace and focus left me at the end 😦

[thin dawn]

bro i whiffed still new pb 🙂

[thin dawn]

another one

80% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

[thin dawn]

lately i am struggling with what i want to achieve in life. i was struggling a lot to find out where i wanna go next. I set this aiming experience on groth in myself and using it for this, not to get to a rank or anything. I was struggling with where i wonna go next. After i watched this Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hif5eI5pBxo i think i know what i wanna do next and what i wanna chase. so after i hit Grandmaster im gonna stop gaming as much and focusing on other stuff in my life. I just wanna hope that all of you guys are good and healthy, pysically and mentally! and if theres something wrong, we are all here for you. And my dm are always open 🙂 make sure you guys are not struggling with mental issues or anything like that! much love to the community ❤️

[peak elm]

watching you and ben inch closer to gm is very exciting!

[peak elm]

also i recommend looking into Dharma

its kinda like your internal compass or your divine duty if you're religious

might give you a lot of answers

[thin dawn]

thank you, the reason why i do it is to motivate people. Happy it excites you 🙂

also gonna look into divine duty. Sounds interesting 🙂

[eager mantle]

I wish you the best in the new things your gonna do in your life and ill watch the rest of your path to gm until the very end

[peak elm]

also come back when you've achieved enlightenment so you can hit celestial complete before i hit masters

[thin dawn]

im gonna take it more chill after, this is not what i want to grind out to much with my life 🙂 but first i gotta get that gm titel 🙂

[thin dawn]

where can i find dharma

[peak elm]

u asking like

where to find information?

or where to physically find it

[thin dawn]

this

[peak elm]

theres a bunch of information online about it but I found out about it through a psychiatrist on youtube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APMt3dO96Js&t=

he's a very relatable person and does most of his work around helping gamers or people with gaming addictions

he has personally improved my life 100x but he might not be for everyone

he's also a harvard psychiatrist that has also studied as a monk for like 10 years if that gives him any credibility

[thin dawn]

intresting i gotta look into it thank you 🙂

[peak elm]

np its a whole rabbit hole

he also interviews popular twitch streamers if ur into that

[thin dawn]

okok sounds intresting

all tho i think i have a good balance from gaming and everything else im always here to learn 🙂

[peak elm]

He's focused torwards the gaming community but his knowledge works in all walks of life, it's not really only focused on gaming addicts

[thin dawn]

jeah, all things you learn gonna help you out in the future. in the end it always is like that

[peak elm]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGGwCG6AFz4 actually this is also a twitch stream but not as streamer vibe

[thin dawn]

what

[peak elm]

but he has full blown lectures on his youtube that aren't streamed

[thin dawn]

what did i press

fmbot

[thin dawn]

imma check it out rn 🙂

[thin dawn]

[thin dawn]

big W vid

[peak elm]

hes doesnt have a single L take on anything he says

imo*

[amber burrow]

Bro pulled out Dr K on us 😁

He's literally changed my life so much

I'm going on a 10 day meditation retreat in a week

Largely because of him

[peak elm]

Gotta show hidden tech in order to hit celestial

If I remember correctly, Dr. K worked with some people that worked with aimlabs

Everything ties back to Dr. K 😯

[amber burrow]

https://www.healthygamer.gg/blog/the-healthy-gamer-foundation-expands-board-of-directors-with-industry-legends-from-twitch-and-aim-labs

Wow yeah

Dr K mentioned recently that he started working with a Dota coach and his elo went up like 60% in a month

It makes me want to start working with a coach

[weak hull]

That’s the whole point of having a coach

There’s a lot to pay attention to out there

Coach tells you what to look at and the order to look at it in

[peak elm]

the funny thing is that his elo after 60% increase isn't even his peak in dota LUL

bro was a dota god before he became a monk

[thin dawn]

after a break i hit new pb in 10 min 🙂

[weak hull]

my arm gets tired

and then i do bad flicks and inconsistent micros because i want to keep pace

sadge...

[thin dawn]

like i really feel more sable after working out and my muskles are fit again

helped alot

[weak hull]

im saying

i can tell that having strong arms and shoulders is a massive help

static is an athletic category

[thin dawn]

one day ill hit gm in static

[weak hull]

bro

i fucking threw

so hard

3 misses last 10 clicks

[thin dawn]

nah

unlucko

that might have been gm score right there

if u hit theese 3

[weak hull]

dude my technique is so good

i'm so close

[thin dawn]

stop crying

hit it

[thorn jacinth]

gm complete except for these, static grind starts now

[thin dawn]

imagine beeing able to static

[thorn jacinth]

1250 feels far away still lol

1 lucky run tho

[thin dawn]

easy just hit 3 dots more

[thorn jacinth]

1221 next run

[thin dawn]

huh

[thorn jacinth]

like my next run was 1221

i worded that poorly lol

[thin dawn]

can you stop beeing so good pls

ty

idk i just stop working after like 30 seconds rn

[weak hull]

He(?) is already grandmaster and has every other scenario, except one dynamic clicking in GM

He has all the momentum to easily hit GM static

It’s different for us; we’re not yellow yet

[thin dawn]

no cap i just had a nova run first 20 sec

then whiffed

[weak hull]

Ya that’s the problem

Getting good scores first 20 seconds is Ezpz

[thorn jacinth]

yep he

[weak hull]

But as you get tired your options are to slow down

Or risk missing as your technique crumbles

You can tap into your flow state maybe once or twice but then that’s cooked and you’re back to math.

That’s why I’m taking a break

I burned my adrenaline on my PB attempt and still flubbed

That means I’m done

[thin dawn]

1

W

also whiffed could have been 1230 easy

[weak hull]

LOLLL

[thin dawn]

81% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

[thin dawn]

i need 114 energy to get gm

W

now below 100

85% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

[weak hull]

Post sheet

[weak hull]

New pfte skates showed up

[thin dawn]

ggs

its over

congratiolations on grandmaster ben :3

another huge pb

88% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

Thats it for today huge pbs

I hope i can keep that speed up for tomorrow

[tribal finch]

try to stop overflicking

[delicate laurel]

howww 😭

gm very soon tho 👀

[weak hull]

Mostly technique

Pilltrack especially

There’s a couple things that are really tough to deal with

1. Learning what short strafes feels like (very slow and smooth tracking to match)

2. Getting back to the bot and then edge tracking so when it strafes you get more time on task

The whole scenario is basically the bot throwing strafes you can react to mixed in with strafes you can just barely not react to and need to cheat a little bit by calling out short strafes

If you do short strafe movements when you don’t need to, react to the bot breaking away from you with a flick and resume tracking

[teal olive]

Stop breaking things! :C

[weak hull]

Farm rng for godrun

If I had to guess he just figured out how to farm short strafes faster than we did

[delicate laurel]

yeah those short strafes are a pain to deal with

[weak hull]

They are free points once you understand how to track them

[delicate mountain]

bro waveshot is gonna be the death of me.

[delicate mountain]

:/

thought we were in this together

[thorn jacinth]

clearly that’s the roadmap to success

[thin dawn]

Guys today is day 1 going for grandmaster 👀

[quaint tapir]

goofy goober

[thin dawn]

💀

[thin dawn]

i did it again

gonna push that one

but its gm score :0

[weak hull]

Gm!!!

So close

You better hit Gm before me

You were master complete

You were better than I am across the board

[delicate laurel]

😯

[thin dawn]

wow thats my fav quote yet

gonna save that

haha

[delicate laurel]

wait u gotta be close af to gm now

whats your energy?

[weak hull]

I’m sayin

Probably like 894

[thin dawn]

92

92% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

so if i hit static gm im gm

foucus up

couldnt get more score but good push

hit some 3100 aswell

first one today starting clean and not pushing speed

bruh

its getting close

97% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

[weak hull]

wtfff

damn

[thin dawn]

but now im getting nervous

fuck haha

[nimble willow]

How is bro this good

[thin dawn]

its all mental no cap

nah

i dont belive it

so close

99% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

1 energy KEKW

[delicate laurel]

bruhhhh

thats fucked up lol

[thin dawn]

hahaha

[weak hull]

No shot

[thin dawn]

idk if i count my energy together i have it

but it doesnt show some how fk

[weak hull]

You are penalized for having scores that lag behind. It isn’t a pure average.

Your precise tracking is actually holding you back right now from GM

[thin dawn]

ok gimme a sec

fk man

why is this so hard now

god damn

[long glacier]

worst case scenario lol

1 energy away

[weak hull]

Low-key just go start pacing a scenario for nova lol

[thin dawn]

jeah idk what to do right now

im going for some skyswithc

i dont feel smoothness today

[weak hull]

Pasu 👀

Get nova angleshot before you go off and do your existential life deal

[thorn jacinth]

yea i would just grind skyswitch for a pb

that should do it

[weak hull]

Wait, no quit being a Jim and go hit GM static

[thin dawn]

hell nah

[weak hull]

Just do static grandmaster without GM static is a fraud GM

[thorn jacinth]

damn

[weak hull]

[nimble willow]

That mustve hurt lol

[thorn jacinth]

ill be a real gm one day

[weak hull]

Me too….

[nimble willow]

Get nova static to humble him fr

[weak hull]

I don’t even think you disagree with me if you are Gm static you are nice with it when it comes to aim

It is actually such an achievement in technique

We will get there together 🤝

It’s just raw mouse control nothing else

[thorn jacinth]

i just wish i enjoyed playing static half as much as any other type

[thin dawn]

mannnnnnnnnnnn

this pb is un beatable

LIKE BRUHHH

[weak hull]

Static is fun what you mean

As soon as I figured out how to play static it was fun

Post a VOD

[thin dawn]

omg

omg

omg

[thorn jacinth]

big gm man in the house

[thin dawn]

did i do it

[weak hull]

Where is it

100#

No way you didn’t

That’s gotta be at least a few energy

[thin dawn]

call me gm bleed hero now

100% to GM NoseBleedHero´s road to Grandmaster

[thorn jacinth]

when i run the vdim tonight ill post a vod of all 3 scens

[weak hull]

No static Gm

Good shit yo!

[long glacier]

congrats mate 🔥

[thin dawn]

comming soon

[weak hull]

You were the closest to Gm when we all got started so it’s only right you finish first

[thin dawn]

you next ben

get it big boyx

[weak hull]

Ya I’m getting close

[delicate laurel]

WW

[weak hull]

I can’t see it yet but I’m running out of things I can’t do

[delicate laurel]

gg

[thin dawn]

just try to get better at tracking, i had insane tracking back in the day thats why it fealt more easy

[weak hull]

I mean, I feel like my tracking scores are already pretty solid; it should be light work to get my precise tracking a big

[thin dawn]

hmmm

im gonna help you if i can next few days

gonna take some off days of aimlabs

KEKW

[weak hull]

Yeah, my speed switching and reactive tracking are cooked so if you got any tips, I will take them. Finally enough, I don’t really feel like we have spent a lot of time reviewing my own footage; it probably would be good for me to get some outside perspective.

I feel like I have mostly just done collaboration in a theory crafting perspective, and I have fixed things on my own in terms of making changes to my gameplay

[thin dawn]

post some vods in the future

[nimble willow]

Congratsss

[thin dawn]

tyty

https://youtu.be/PFr3hvE5GiM

[delicate laurel]

could u send the code for the theme u use

[thin dawn]

no cap i created it myself

i dont have it

sry

[weak hull]

You can export themes.

[thin dawn]

jeah but i changed

gonna see later

gonna do the apply first

then see if i can find it

[delicate laurel]

theres an option in visual settings that says "copy theme code"

[delicate laurel]

thats fine im bouta hop off now anyway

[thin dawn]

jeah but i dont use them anymore

so can i export from pbs?

[delicate laurel]

oh uhhh

i dont think so

wait didnt u just hit that gm score today lol

[thin dawn]

jeah

but i went for static after

so i changed

theme

[delicate laurel]

oh lol

im only asking cuz for some reason my visuals are rlly weird only on pilltrack

its fine on every other scenario

but on pilltrack depending on where the bot is on the map it gets either rlly dark or rlly bright

and its rlly annoying lol

[thin dawn]

so i figured a black bot is easyer to react for me

im gonna do the same stuff and send u a code after

im always changing mine tho

[delicate laurel]

i use the same visuals for everything except static lol

[delicate laurel]

ty

[long glacier]

guys whats the propper technique for angleshot?

[delicate laurel]

@weak hull ^

this is your speciality lol

[thin dawn]

i send u

[thin dawn]

nah

dont do it

its mental

[weak hull]

Turn your sens w the fuck down until you only miss because you made a mistake in reading the bot and not from just being inaccurate

Play lots of pasulike it’s a scenario about pattern reading

Avoid aggressive and shaky mouse movements at all cost; bots continually pass you information and we have to put a hard cap on our crosshair velocity so we don’t destroy the quality of that information

[thin dawn]

ok i applied to gm 🙂

[weak hull]

👌

[long glacier]

aight

thanks

[thin dawn]

Vt Angleshot Advanced:
How should the szenario be played?

Theres two main areas to focus on improvement: Speed and Precision.

Speed: its important to focus on every single target you shoot and make every shot count. With 60sec you can loose focus very easy so find a speed you are comfortable with threw out the 60 seconds. Always remember to make breaks in between runs and keep on playing threw your runs when you are 10 seconds deep into your runs.

Precision:
You try to isolate the flics vertical first, by doing that you isolate your reading skills in one axys instead of two. You can practice that by doing your rund with using your mouse the least amount horizontal as possible, wich means you should shoot bots only when they cross the middle part of the map. This will practice your reading skills and click timing wich is the main part of high acc runs.

Combine them:
To combine the speed part and the acc part you need to start leading your shots far, and close the time you give yourself to adjust over time. The hard part is to keep your focus up while maintain a clean run. Choosing your targets is also really important to keep the pace. You should prioritize dots wich are going into the direction of your horizontal line next, to get less wasted movements and more easy shots. Try to never fall onto the edges of the map, since the dots hard stop onto the wall and they always come back into the middle.

[weak hull]

Focus on having runs that look extremely clean and then build speed

[long glacier]

what acc should i go for?

minimum

[thin dawn]

should be arround 80

if you can hit 100 targets at 80 you are fine

then if you push you might get an 110 target with 85

and then you gm :)(

[long glacier]

oh wow

close to hs with 77%

and i didnt even go fast

[thin dawn]

show pic

[long glacier]

idk if i go slow its just harder to kill targets

[thin dawn]

so you should go practice with the hard version i think. If you can hit them comfortably you can push some speed with the speed version

thats the way to go

also if you vod review yourself do not track bots. you should always let them come into your crosshair

[long glacier]

what if they change dirrection?

[thin dawn]

you flick if they near if not you did choose the wrong bot

its a reading skill

you should be focusing on what bot just changed direction and best bots are the ones that already come into your direction

my GM Scores: https://youtu.be/COv-bWWeD38

[long glacier]

oh thats really useful

[thin dawn]

looking good

[long glacier]

for such a late time its not bad

[thin dawn]

it took me 1 month and 10 days to go from that to GM 😮

[nimble willow]

when are we changing the title to 0% to Nova NoseBleedHero's road to Nova @thin dawn

[thin dawn]

nah im gonna chill for a bit now

living my life 🙂

[nimble willow]

lol ikr was jk

enjoy it

[thin dawn]

I WILL

[quaint tapir]

they did that to me when it said 900

🤣

[thin dawn]

how do you know

[quaint tapir]

🤣

[thin dawn]

what you mean?

how does replay of angleswitch get me gm

i send them when i hit it

[quaint tapir]

that was for me

[thin dawn]

huh

but how does leaderboards give you more points?

[quaint tapir]

they denied my gm request because it showsed 899/900

[thin dawn]

i dont get it

[quaint tapir]

n vm

u goofy goober

[thin dawn]

u troll me?

fkn kytrex

[eager mantle]

Is that a rank or smth i never heard of that game sorry

[quaint tapir]

congrats on gm

[thin dawn]

nah game released lately idk played it for the first time

[quaint tapir]

next time I look at your card, i better see all red

[thin dawn]

i dont have it yet

now im scared

[eager mantle]

Thats cool is it like r6 or cod

[quaint tapir]

just got nova in pilltrack 🤣

[thin dawn]

like cod i think

[thin dawn]

i know

ur cracked

nova is not hard

Gm is hard

[quaint tapir]

[thin dawn]

[eager mantle]

Im like 8 points away from master on angleshot and not even paltinum in some drills xd

[thin dawn]

well i spend 10 days straight angleshot to get gm haha

i hate that task

never gonna play it again

Kytrex Troll?

[quaint tapir]

???

bro, noob

[thin dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/ui-ouch-gif-25596228

[eager mantle]

I like everything but the one i like the least is precise category

[quaint tapir]

play every type of scenario, matty ow said to

u gonnna forget how to angle shot and be noob

just do vdim and you will get gm

then i gonna have to show you how to aim like turtle

[thin dawn]

well now im gonna play chess only till i hit nova

YEP

[quaint tapir]

1v1 me chess

[eager mantle]

Gm on chess

[thin dawn]

bro my chess skill is worse then xqc playing video games

[peak elm]

YOOOO GZ ON GM

[thin dawn]

Ty

[wispy robin]

gratz!!

[thin dawn]

Ty

[quaint tapir]

update your bio 💀

[thin dawn]

Not official yet 😦

[thin dawn]

Good practice i found out, watching highscores on youtube and trying to predict which target the will flick to next. This is very usefull for ts or dynamic

Also thinking doing some op1 8k relaxed playing koovaks for a bit. Just chilling not pushing scores as much

[weak hull]

I think it’s probably a good idea for you to kind of transition your grind into a more sustainable maintenance so that you can keep what you got with a comfortable level of consistent effort

[thin dawn]

Just playing arround ya know

[weak hull]

I think your advice in #advice got better too

You can tell you understand a lot now

[thin dawn]

So u say i was shit before i hit GM?

[weak hull]

That’s a different sentence

[thin dawn]

😂

[weak hull]

I saw you help less before is all

Seems like spending a lot of time reflecting on technique helped cement your confidence in the ideas

[thin dawn]

Im just boared at work rn thats why 😂

[weak hull]

Shit I guess I’ll have to be done with this progress thread if you’re not gonna make any more progress!

GGs

[thin dawn]

See ya at GM

Jeah idk where i go from there. Summer is comming and tbh i just wanna enjoy my life. Theres a big change for my work comming aswell so i guess im gonna grind theese things, while i still play aimtrainers for fun only i guess. Not daily just relaxed having fun and helping people i think.

[weak hull]

You did it

You got good aim

Now just maintain and chill

[thin dawn]

Tbf i just didnt had goals in life so i set this as one and i got it, not its time to moove on and get other goals done. And one day ill come back and go for higher rank i guess

[peak elm]

Good job soldier you can touch grass now!

[thin dawn]

Whats grass? Is that a scenario?

[peak elm]

VT touch grass ADVANCED

[thin dawn]

I might even work for some google docs with helping for different tasks and how to improve at them

[peak elm]

Sounds pretty good I might cop it 😮

[eager mantle]

guys i got the wrong aimlabs account connected to voltaic what do i do

[thin dawn]

Much love

Thank you every one who suproots me ❤️

[eager mantle]

GG you got the tag

[thin dawn]

Ggs 🙂

Bro im drunk af right now

[weak hull]

You should be

You hit Gm

Smoke it up

[thin dawn]

Nah i drink like 6 beers

[weak hull]

Clinically binging

Bro i went fucked up yesterday

[quaint tapir]

[eager mantle]

im hardstuck in static idk what to do

[thin dawn]

VOD?

[eager mantle]

can i send it to here?

[thin dawn]

sure

[eager mantle]

on multishot im always hitting 1150+- when im on a good run

got a better run now

and on tracking scenarios im very consistent at getting really bad scores xd

[thin dawn]

glad i could help

[eager mantle]

xd

[thin dawn]

https://tenor.com/view/funny-jokes-laugh-very-funny-jokes-gif-8006636675585716814

[eager mantle]

i cant get a better run at fiveshot

[thin dawn]

it looks clean, probably just play more i guess

[eager mantle]

ok thanks

[thin dawn]

like not to much overflicking, clean lines. there was some parts where you should have choose a different target but its not a big issue. if you keep grinding you will 100% improve

[eager mantle]

i see thanks

goated consistency

[thin dawn]

i still think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldOEg9oRank is one of the most impressive static players

still not a huge fan of the bartozz method. i think its a good baseline to learn but this looks like its way more optimized

[nimble willow]

ye zeonlo is so good

[delicate laurel]

he’s using the bardoz method tho lol

it’s just hard to see cuz he’s so fast

but if you slow it down you’ll see it’s a fast initial flick and then he does a very quick micro on most targets

[thin dawn]

not really

he has a more combine the flick and micro approach

[weak hull]

This is what I’ve been trending to

You just flick then seamlessly slow down right as you get there

[thin dawn]

i found it really hard could be cuz of my raiden

it might be to fast

[weak hull]

Fingertip pressure 👌

Let fingers apply drag off the edge of the mouse

[thin dawn]

hmmm

gotta look into that

my technique for gm was really bardoz so big flick stop then micro onto the target

im gona try to work towards not having the stop part in there

[nimble willow]

he does that, but when there are long flicks he obviously flicks fast and then micros, but on clusters and mid range targets he does go for more of a smooth approach

like if u look at second 6/7 u'll see

but I do agree this is slightly different to bardoz

bardoz does a lot more of this explosive flick then micro, even with targets that are not that far away

i do like zeonlo's way more tho, just looks cleaner and keeps the momentum more idk

[weak hull]

bardoz also uses a palm grip and fingertip brakes to force clean stops despite high velocity

he's crafted his speed around his style

i think zeonlo's style is more accessible to everyone, if that makes sense.

[thin dawn]

jeah that makes sens. theres no thing like perfect method and in the end you need to figure out what works for you

[delicate mountain]

Mini has a video on this, pretty sure he was the one who got bardoz focusing on smoothness for clusters.

[delicate mountain]

I've found it's easier to implement this on a faster pad because you can control your slowdown without the "lockup" feeling i get with control pads

[weak hull]

Ya bardoz ideology def reflecting sentiments from 2-3 years ago

Contemporary technique involves a high degree of smoothness for all but huge flicks

[thorn jacinth]

yea zeonlo and rensi embody the static style that i want to go for

much less defined flicks and stops and a slightly smoother and floatier style

i think yrup employs the pinnacle of the bardoz method

[delicate mountain]

draco i think has perfect static technique

[thin dawn]

jeah draco is crazy

https://youtu.be/mJFlF8jYLzo played XDefiant for one day 🙂

[peak elm]

xdefiant has been fun(ish)

wish they had more camos so i can find something to grind after i get all attachments and ops

[thin dawn]

Fun little game 4 sure 🙂

[peak elm]

Smgs annoy the fk out of me

They beam me across the map

[thin dawn]

What smgs suck

[peak elm]

i was in drivethru i forgot to finish my statement

i get beamed harder across a map by an smg than any rifle in the game

luckily nobody runs smgs that much in the games im in so it doesn't annoy me too much

and Ill be the one beaming everyone when im done getting attachments on every rifle

[peak elm]

snipers dont feel good in the game, tho i havent used tac50 and i play on 80ping perma

i havent used shotguns yet

the ARs feel pretty good i would say

[thin dawn]

Jeah sniping is fun af

[void isle]

Vector? MP7?

[thin dawn]

as soon as you get mid range this thing needs 10 hits to kill

[void isle]

That’s true but in domination or hardpoint u can kinda force close fights I feel like. but tbh the 93R is basically the same thing at that point so it’s better to run a rifle anyway

[void isle]

M16 is definitely goated idc what anybody says

[thin dawn]

jeah if you can play burst its good af.

[thin dawn]

going for master complete in koovaks

1/16

also been playing on my op1
