#Gold to Master??? - 633/800 Energy
1 messages Β· Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Started on the intermediate benchmarks and fell short of Plat thus I plan to follow this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vtimJhaK-SEPdThND85qAfotWKp66RyJa9MJ8XiPEyw/edit?pli=1 to improve further

Maybe full plat soon
Day3 No real breakthroughs but new pbs for majority of tasks
Gold to Master??? (3am challenge, ***** style)
Kovaaks playtime now at 10.2hours
Decided to try and gold complete all of the valorant aimlabs ones
one eludes me for now though
i keep barely skimming the surface, microadjustments seem to be my weakpoint
Completed VDIM SpeedTarget Switching Today and managed to breakthrough into platinum for both scenarios
main focus was increases the time spent off of targets and I spent too long going from target to target
managed to sneak in two more plats scenarios after playing for a bit for some fun
Clicking will be a further challenge, going faster almost seems impossible but that hurdle will be overcome!
! Another Baller Moment!! Woohoo!!
another two cheeky plat scenarios
this progression is happening too quiok, im starting to feel like a plateu will come and it will come hard
Going from struggling to silver and gold to scratching plat seems a little quick. Or maybe im just getting used to aim training as a medium?
for that game that I clipped
Been seeing stuff about switching sensitivity for different scenarios
ive been switching my sense every 2 days for all scenarios to the same. Is it really better to do high or less sense depending on scenarios
ill do some research and find out
besides doing a little practice, I wont be trying to break any pbs today
Working all day today makes me want to stay away from the mouse and keyboard for bit, planning to kick things up again on wednesday and catch up on vdim in a few hours
Unsure atm whether to focus on general fundementals for mouse controls or to focus more on tac shooter related tasks
nearly 4 goes on the exact same score
I completed yesterdays VDIM Playlist, but didnt manage to beat any pbs yesterday
halfway through todays vdims, and hopefully a new pb in static. This marks day 6
managed to snag a new pb in 1w5ts. I find myself getting more consistent in reaching scores around platinum in most tasks
tracking seems to be my weakest point, and leastprogfession to change that
I might record and post some scores, the clicking targets it seems almost like im trying to brute force it and missing something
Today I tried out using the voltaic fundamentals platinum task, not my favourite and while good to practice, and that switching things up frequently the type of tasks kept things fresh but in future, Ill probs stick to VDIM and perhaps the tacaim guide
I now have 21.6hours on Kovaaks
π
Didnt do yesterday due to being away from home
but caught up on wednesdays VDIM and got diamond in smoothbot and palt in precision
changes for improvement where better grip on mouse / different mouse (op1 8k over hyperx pulsefire haste 2 wireless) / no frictionless glove
plan to do reactive after work
day 8 - One more score till complete plat!
I put like 10 goes into it both hovered around 550-580 in BounceTS
would it be worthwhile to post graphs from the end of different benchmarks?
If and when you feel like it π sometimes I show my graphs after a nice grind after VDIM π
Cheers! Might share some tomorrow then
I did the VDIM for Evasive TS today
I reaaalllyyy wanted to get platinum complete today with a 45cm/360
I did the vdim
then maybe like 30minutes griding VT BounceTS
always hoveringh so so sos sososososososo close to 630
My switching speed and targeting clearly need more work, but I did it barely
PLATINUM COMPLETE!!! DAY 9!!!
I focused mostly on tacfps related playlists today, so no new benchmark updates!
Well done π Going strong!
Speak for yourself! Youve been making steller progress aswell
Trying mate π still miles away from my destination haha
I thought I'm strong today but my aim was so shaky that my TS was shiiiit :/
Alright yesterday was too busy and didnt even manage to turn the computer on
but today is the day
the day for what?
we'll have to see
no new pbs after the vdim, but more consistent in reaching platinum scores
What about averages?:)
I haven't been adding those, Ill set those tomorrow after smooth tracking vdim
Im not too confident that its going to average plat but we'll see
There are plenty of days I can't beat my old PBs but my avg scores are higher than before and I like this progres ^^
we up some more
we da same
VT Smoothbot Intermediate with an average of 3204 in past 7. PB 3523
this one just clicked in my brain
score just kept going up
not able to hit platinum in percision again
Some PBs, some βavg PBsβ - itβs going nice mate π
thank you thank you
after haitus and uni/work keeping me busy. We back at it again
I feel bad for missing days but im imagining it like a rest day at the gym
we up!!
to da mooon!!!
New PalmTS pb 885, a wee bit over diamond 
Plat Complete?! WOW! Rest day went well π
woo hoo! Quite happy for it too
VDIM EvasiveTS Today
tracking not it today
started low today and managed toi pick it up
Somehow started EvaTS so strong
another diamond score
Got a bad habit of switching off the target before its gone
about to do bouncets after this last bit of warm up for it
high hopes
nvm did an absolute valley of performance then brought it back a bit at the end
day 17
plan to work on flicks after work this evening
Played these two playlists last night, doing so again today for sunday training. Ive been slacking on the monday tuesday VDIMs with have uni fulldays on those days
KovaaKsPeakingBaitedShotgun - Dark flick accuracy and stability
KovaaKsTrackingJitteryLowground - micro god
quite happy with this one being in the 95th percentile
I keep whiffing clusters
managed to hit 50% percentile
while challenging, I quite like this scenario
Gold to Master??? - 574/800 Energy
gave clicking static a few goes and got some small pb increases
Gold to Master??? - 580/800 Energy
20 energy from diamond now
Just got diamond on pasu rasp
the trick was to actually slow down and not miss as much
Gold to Master??? - 593/800 Energy
7 more π
im trynna bring my lowest pbs up to reach diamond but I just cant atm. maybe coming back later this arvo will help
ill get it today one way or another
Reactive Tracking can * *** * * ***** *****
so cloooossee to diamond in 1w6ts
i almost did it but then whiffed
speak of the devil
im gonna fight somethin
i did like 5 goes of air, and was struggling, changed cm from 40 to 30 and instant pb
DIAAAAAAMOONDDDDDDDDDDDD
Gold to Master??? - 611/800 Energy
we do a bit of score chasing
WELL DONE mate β€οΈ congratz!
Thank you both very much
I'm taking a break today, only doing a few scenarios for warm up
but I did this the otherday
Double Diamond mate π
im a happy lad, who knows maybe jade soon?? But im getting ahead of myself
Step by step π€
Did a smidgen on multiclick 120 got 10 higher on a pb, accuracy is my downfall, and overflicking slightly as I go
unrated but i thought it was cool
ive noticed that half the gun fights I take I start crouching
Is that a bad habit?
in cs its fine, since spraying is more forgiving (as long as you learn spray control)
in valorant spray has more randomness to it, so burst and strafing is the way to go. Plus moving makes you harder to hit. And crouching makes you a still and larger target
I get it π thats a nice difference between games
been going downhill on smooth tracking tasks
Wee bit better now
Thank you to Coach Ben for the advice, just leaving a screenshot here to come back to
trying to put it into practice
Averaging 3223 on VT Smoothbot INT, and get another score in diamond, while not a new pb. Is a good sign for consistency
topped it with 1699 in VT PreciseOrb Int, no new pbs but got more consistency out of todays vdim
Did a fair amount of reactive tracking to work on my weakspots. I've been finding it quite challenging to consistently hit platinum, not to mention diamond in these scenarios. Out of VT clover Daily tracking, DCC MattyOW Official - Reacitivity Easy, and Undertracking Heaven v2 playlists I only managed to be in the 30th percentile on average
except for one scenario where I fluked nearly top 200
Decided to go out and get a artisan hayate otsu mousepad aswell last night. Which will arrive soon probably early next week.
Atleast I seem to be doing better at static switching and static clicking
That game haha xD
As inspired by DvlshBbFace, I did some more of the aimlabs valorant benchmarks
not a big particular fan of them, and I got edged so close on so many scores to reach the next threshhold by 5 or less
Thanks for the mention π
For me these are relaxing and fun. Classic Voltaic are hard and frustrating π€£
Thatβs why Iβm doing Valorant ones on a bad days π«£
Ahaha all good, I just find aimlabs so goofy to use. Theh were definitely more satisfying then any reactive travking or thr like on the main benchs
Doing VDIM clicking dynamic
first one woohoo second run aaaaaa
Pasu Rasp Int managed two 750 scores this session but that was all
recent average is higher but definitely a ways to go to consistent plat then diamond
New PB of 640 in Bounceshot and managed to consistently hit plat in it
managed to hit 1110 in 1w5ts twice more. Which means I hit the same PB 3 times
I feel like I can go faster but I also can't
quite the feeling
Havent shared the sheet in a while, not major breakthroughs yet
im focusing on clicking and target switching atm
I feel like narrowing my focus will help
Good looking sheet mate π canβt wait to see you Jade on clicking π€
In total I probably have more retries on this then a 5 year olds first time playing geometry dash, but today. Something made sense and everything fell into place
a few more runs, some ok some eh
hit a new pb then just stuck there love the consistency
new pb and about to go into the benchmark and last bit in the vdim
1w5ts didnt go so well
Day 27
switched to some TS on 30cm from doing static all evening on 70cm and it caught me so off guard
1110 is a new PB?
Nah same one I got a few days ago
the one under is the new PB VT Multiclick 120
Going from 1410 to 1460
My scores were barely scratching a thousand today weirdly enough
NICE! 50pts is a nice jump π
That 50 got me just a the diamond rank for it aswell so woohoo!!!
Diamond is tough, but i can feel the hardwork paying off in consistency in the games I play
The improvement today I credit to holding the mouse with fingertip grip and sticking the mouse grip pads that came with it on the sides
Felt like i just had slightly more control on the mouse
Plus fingertip really helped with up and down movements
What's your mouse? π
I got the op1 8k
I'm not seeing any improvement tho... Maybe it's too early π¦
Someone recommended it to me in the perhiperals chat
So we both own based eq. VXE R1 Pro here π now it's time to get our skill lvl up to mouse lvl π
Mmmm maybe you are but could be too hard on yourself?
I don't know... I can't wait for my friend to be back and we will be able to play CS2 on faceit together.
Ahahah absolutely, cant blame the equipment anymore
You could try solo quing on matchmaking to try and build gamesense
Positioning matters a fair bit in CS2, turning 50/50 more in your favour
Or watching VODs of pro play and seeing what they do
I dig CS2 tournaments live on YT haha but now it's time to do it myself haha
I do enjoy playing with my friend as he's better than me and I'm learning fast from him
Practicing micro adjustment today, then Ill move onto tracking. While focusing on clicking, I dont want to neglect the others
specially since combining them will be better in the long term
New PBs in every microgod playlist task
now doing flick accuracy and speed
!!
idk what happened I did 4 diamond scores then my next to are just atrocious, I dont know what happened they didnt feel particulary bad as the graph shows
ill just pretend thet never happened
got a new pb on percision then uh
maybe I might call it for this evening
hymil the score redeemer
Thatβs a looot of practice mate! Nice πͺ
VDIM Reactive Tracking today
I'm finding tasks much more enjoyable as I improve aswell. If before things wqere frustating, now they arent
from 2 percentile to 50 percentile
while better I still feel quite shit at these tasks. I feel like im just spamming my mouse back and forth
first PB on plaza since 26/4
managed to peak again at 2877.1
not everything trends upwards :(
no new air intermediate pb
taking a break then static and target switch spped practice
Was watching some videos about aim training and they mentioned some good points
about focusing on consistency over constant restarts and score chasing.
aiming like you would in game instead of floaty movement.
training peripheral vision, etc
self vod reviewing for both games and aim training
few more things, but I didnt exactly take notes
Could you link them?:)

Its a long video, and its not the most entertaining but he does make points
Watched it couple weeks back and I will rewatch it on the weekend
lol we are like the complete opposite. everything but my tracking is bad.. wanna swap π?
ahaha I was were you were like a week or two ago with clicking and switching, consistent practice really makes such a difference
15 goes on this with no restarts
10 goes
unfortunately I have to go away from pc for 2 weeks... I'll be keeping up with your journey in the meantime I suppose. Seeing normal peoples roadmap makes it seem more achievable especially with the ground that ive gotten in my 2 days of playing
im pretty confident that I can hit diamond, in clicking and with practice I can be masters or better with tracking
ah well, it may be like that. But you can just come back swinging! Is your goal to reach diamond? Then focus on whatever game more afterwards?
for a start ya, id like to reach at least diamond in everything. I have some jade scores in tracking scens but my clicking is all pretty average
plat scores
yeah tracking just doesnt cliock for me. Diamond is still much better then the average fps player
what was your main game?
im a pretty avid game hopper. i usually just set a goal myself and play competitely until i get it then i move on
right now though its not even a competitve game im playing lot of ark survival evolved & ascended
when im not doing that i play some league and kovaaks on the side
damn quite the genre mix as well
but i was gm in overwatch 1 & 2, osu im top 30k on std, before they added ascendant to val i was immo 2
and way before any of those i played cs 1.6 a little bit and then csgo but i was only dmg on csgo
i didnt play it that avidly i maybe have 200 hours on csgo
damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
i guess more recent im champ in siege but thats not really an accomplishment anymore
gates are open to everyone at this point
the most competitive I ever got with a game was csgo when I was 13 and managed to get MGE
otherwise I normally just stick to unrated modes
playing competitvely is draining so i dont blame u at all
I guess ive just been bored recently so i thought id attempt to take my aim to the next level since i play so much in the first place
yeah, having a high rank sounds very appealing but I just cant see myself hitting the queue button
all my "training" has just been in game until a couple days ago
fair
I normally switch between a bunch of fps games, like finals, val, cs2. So I wanted to build some sort of universal skill
really, I had a blast on it season 1, and been on and off it for season 2
the way they balance things by just listening to people whinge on reddit is annoying but its oh well
It was cool when it first released because it was something new but i really dont like how chaotic it is
these are my scores for reference, i have a progression thread but i havent updated it for a day or 2 because havent played since then
Yeah can see what you say about tracking being a stronger skill, your target switching is up there as well
yeah ive tried to get tips for smoothbot, i recently completed changed the way I play due to some input i got from the coach ben guy
yeah that set up is wild, wouldnt your left arm just cut the mousepad room in half
and im now playing like this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKuDUTNuUnA this was my jump in smoothbot and after i had coach ben review it and he said that it looks like my mouse is getting stuck and then my aim is faltering a lot
10 goes on this managed to peak twice at 107
I haven't played any other scenarios besides the ones on the benchmark sheet
pretty much mr. ben shunned me and then commanded me to swap my setup, he also referred that i play on 1600 dpi minimum
all my scores were set with 500 dpi at 18.5 in/360
500 is dpi is so low, doesnt it feel laggy?
it might be placebo but i felt the difference from 800 to 1600
ive played 400 pretty much all my time on computer
only time ive used 800 or 1600 was when i accidentally hit my dpi button
coming from tacfps games, it might not have been too much of a factor for you previously
ya low sens is pretty acceptable in most games, and even if its not ideal i still attempt to make it work because its what im comfortable with
I hate missing because I overaim / overflick. I don't like my aim being super jittery either i feel being on low sens eliminates the jittery-ness
trying doing more reactive stuff, itll help with the shaky cursor when tracking
ya i have a vod of my strafe scenario ill send it here in a minute, I always thought my tracking was the worst part of my aim until I started playing kovaaks lol
I've been trying to find advice on strafe scenarios and what I can do to improve but apparently they don't have strafe scenarios on aimlabs
so not everyone can give good advice
strafe scenarios might be getting removed from the next season of kovaaks benchmarks aswell
I'm pretty sure this is reactive if im not mistaken
I wouldnt focus too much on them specially since the movement doesnt really replicate game movement
plaza and air are the two intermediate ones
ya its just easier for me to want to play the tracking scenarios because im better at them
I can send you some playlist codes for reactive
watching myself be a flopper on clicking scenarios
missing by a centimeter also upsets me
i have a big issue where I'll miss and move off target, but then double back and then hit it
with the one where the dots are super tiny, and them multiclick 120
If you consistently miss by a bit it might help to slow down more
that way you can micro adjustment
see thats the thing I am just bad xd. feel like i am going pretty slow or at least in my mind
im also just not a fan of the scenarios where you have ammo
they'll grow on you, Id rather them over aimlabs where you can spam but you lose points every miss
ya maybe, the one scenario from aimlabs i really like is gridshot but i havent seen anything similar on kovaaks
like i said though i have motivation issues to play the scenarios i suck at when i could be playing the stuff im good at
all the aiming skills are interlinked
improving at static will help you at tracking, target switching will help you at static, etc etc
I guess we will see more when I have time to sit down and play again. im probably also being impatient in thinking that i should just be able to improve really fast on all scenarios with little to no practice on them
Are you only playing benches?
for the first week or two, I had big growth, but now its quite slow and steady
you should try VDIM playlists
^^^
I highly rate the vdim playlists if you want a good routine
they focus on getting you to build the skills and slowly get harder then the benchmarks then when you do the benchmarks they are so much easier
people were also saying that a lot of people change their sensitivity based on what scenario they
're playing
yeah they do it like this
once you are more familiar with your weaknesses, you can find playlists that focus on those
Sheet1

Static:,Reactive:
KovaaKsDinkingMauveCatalyst,- Dokkie static,KovaaKsWipingDefaultTag,- Viscose undertracking
KovaaKsDroppingJumboRhombus,- Eeriecold static V3,KovaaKsExitfraggingPickedChaingun,- Rece...
if you want an alternative I recommend this routine
is there a big difference in using
the in/360 and cm/360
ive been using in/360 the entire time ive been playing but whenever i see someone talk about sens they always say cm
Yeah everyone uses cm basically but
Itβs not gonna change bc its the same thing if u convert it
Like same way here in europe we say kilometeres and not miles
why does the tracking have such a wide sens range
like closer to 15cm is probably for smoothbot? or similar scenarios
I feel like changing that often would just lead to inconsistency. I guess you want to find your sweetspot but changing based on what scenario you're playing sounds counter-intuitive
In tracking you con play with faster sens because it helps you track basically. Imagine you had to track advanced smoothbot doing a long strafe on 80cm, youβd have Ronnie Colemans arm if you did that
Its just preference as long as you dont go very low on tracking in general id say
its cause muscle memory is a lie, and its all hand eye coordination. You're brain is quite good at adapting, and changing you sense often keeps your brain learning more. By sticking to one sense your brain gets comfortable, while switching often allows you to keep it on its toes and improving
I thought the same as you at first. In fact I am using 40cm for everything rn bc its a midground sens and fits for every category but in aimtrainers sens is viewed as a tool that you modify depending on what muscles you want to improve more. For example in static if you go from 40 to 80cm uβll learn to use ur arm better for flicks. And if you go high youβll work more on your wrist
Aiming in general is more of a hand-eye coordination rather than muscle memory. U are not going to lose all your progress because you change your sens, we adapt pretty fast to any sens change in general and progress isnt lost whatsoever
With this being said you can just stick to one sens or only play on a different sens on static for example or whatever u decide to do
bit inconsistent, probs cause im distracted talking
^ in the end no ones going to force you to change your sense. But there is a reason why people do it
Is it just a routine
VDIM is a set of playlists created by LowGravity57 which act a daily routine to improve in the different categories
ok
the playlists include the benchmarks as a scenario inside of them
the build you up and warm you up for them
pretty much
there is different variations of the same categories for different skill levels
I recommend starting on novice if you havent reached gold complete yet
well on the benchmarks id say im plat. for the vdim thing this is my first time playing
was playing novice on vdim
if you feel comfortable then do the intermediate vdims
for tracking i could probably do intermediate but other scens novice
or should i just start novice all
it says the routines are roughly an hour long
but id say yeah you probably play the routine once and then move to what you want to improve on
the routines are for warmups it seems
The routines
Include the bechmarks in them
So yeah they warm you up then throw the bench scenario at you
Ending the day with with a couple runs in skyTS and managed to get a new pb a few times
Hows ur sheet looking like
Yeah itβs horrible hahah
am i just coping or
are half of the scenarios just pure garbage
vert reactive
both of the air nuns aio
air ufo
trackstop gold
the other ones are fine i guess but then it just puts you on vt air and the ball just moves
so insanely slow
the point is that they are get harder then the benchmarks so that when it gets to them its omg this is actually so easy
nah they have their purposes
i mean i sort of wasted all of my time playing all of those scenarios just to play on novice vt air
XD
novice vdims do novice benchmarks
when i already have a jade score on intermediate
intermediate vdims to intermediate vdims etc etc
ya it was my mistake i thought the vdims were something separate
i thought u were supposed to play the vdims and then move to the benchmark you wanted to improve on
didnt realize til more than halfway through the benchmarks are in the vdim itself
yeah nah, reasonable expectation
because some of the scenarios before the actual benchmark were difficult like that vddh thing
the bot actually teleports
I'll pick back up tomorrow im heading off for now long day unfortunately
thx for all the insight appreciate it
Gold to Master??? - 619/800 Energy
yesterday had some great highs
today seems to be just going lower and lower
third the way through todays vdim and my first pb
1st run I hit my PB to the exact 3 point decimal, then just kinda eh
really need to work on my reactive tracking its letting me down on evasive
Another two reasons why I think mty performance today is so bad, is 1. bad nights sleep
2. my hands are frozen stiff cause its like 14c and in a tshirt
slowly picking up speed!
starting to get consistent with poke ball
Dynamic day!
Woop Woop!
Long day at uni, tempted to bring in my own mouse. the 2000s office mice feel like lead now
did such a good run
I wanna try and limit the amount of restarts but probably should have
was going so well I forgot to breath and start coughing
Bro cant stop the grind
ahaha I wish, I'm trying to go on a nice a steady pace to not burn myself out
doing a little rest day and focusing game playlists
When u play a bit its like u wanna play the next day too
At least thats what happens to me
too tired from aim training to play the game you were meant to improve on
Im neglecting alot of gamesense training
Yeah also u are playing val as well righr?
like i keep being stupid, mechanical can only save me so much
val, finals, bfv
those are what im playing atm
im finding that aim in val is so mood based
if Im having a bad day, I can still do pbs in kvk but in val ill go so negative an iron couldnt compete
I dont doubt that
I can barely do a single one for like 20mins on repeat
im jumping around today
dipping my toes into all the categories today
holy shit last week me was ass
new week new reactive me
first pb in air since the 6 of may
we do be trending up
ill try plaza now
i dont think ive ever gotten such consistent scores in reactive
anyways i might call it here for this evening, I did some of @carmine grotto 's new scenerios before all this
Gold to Master??? - 633/800 Energy
sheet update - day 34
Awesome work!
Idk how much my smoothing scenarios will help reactive with the quick frequent movements but Iβm glad youβre seeing progress!
smooth and reactive go hand in hand with each other
doing some like static target switching as a practice for flicking atm
week ago me was a wittle bit faster on targets it seems
thats chill, I also played warm up for longer then. That and im half listening to uni lectures
going to try xDefiant out now
Fun game, feels like a mix between apex and cod with overwatch style objectives
Maybe try 2 variants: Slightly larger (to let you push speed) & slighly smaller (to help you get precision)
I might try and do that, Ive been using other peoples tracking playlists, they do a mixture of that along with moving ones / static ones
working on 3d projects atm, and with work, class. Been slacking with kvks a bit recently
heres a wip of something I started making
Voltaic Diamond Fundementals Playlist
felt a bit poor on tracking
