benchmarks

how far could one realistically push off of pure brute forcing it? like ofc using edge tracking bardpill, common techniques but nothing beyond that

[ripe nymph]

wth is this question man 😭 maybe be more specific on what you are saying

[pearl gust]

Brother, I’m pretty sure it’s ALL brute forced using common techniques 😭 the answer would just be Matty lmao

[zenith reef]

basically playing without a focus on improvement, just raw hours

[zenith reef]

[sudden spruce]

Almost nothing playing without a brain is not gonna make you better you have to focus on improvement to get better

[zenith reef]

thats odd, i was just asking cos i climbed to immo in val near enough aim alone and never thinking

[sudden spruce]

I thought u meant in aim training not in game you can prob reach radiant of pure aim if ur good enough

[zenith reef]

i meant in kovaaks, but i thought it would be a similair process for both, just get hours in and youll see improvement

[tough pebble]

i think you can though, focusing on improvement and being conscious about it will definitely make you improve a lot faster but can definitely get far by just mindlessly grinding hours, a lot of skills are like this, people mastered them without ever consciously trying to improve at it

[zenith reef]

thats kinda what i assumed, cos my issue is my self analysis andd problem solving is horrible

[sudden spruce]

Yeah of course you can progress but you need a certain level of knowledge alr if you do not have any knowledge about improving it will go very slow, almost non existent you are not getting decent crosshair placement by just playing a lot and not paying attention to it

[tough pebble]

the knowledge comes with experience either way, and that applies to every skill outside of aim too, if you dont dedicate time to learning this stuff it will just come later instead of sooner

[zenith reef]

i was just asking cos genuinely vod reviewing doesnt work for me, so yeah

[tough pebble]

no one improves at an optimal level thats not humanly possible, some people improve more optimally than others and i dont think its a bad thing if youre on the lower side of that spectrum, like i am myself, learning slower is still learning and the consistency adds up, hard work beats talent as the saying goes

[zenith reef]

thank you for your insight, helped reassure some issues/insecurities with me thinking id have to accept id hit a skill ceiling and not be able to push further, my adhd is the innatentive type, so sitting watching vods really kills me

[tough pebble]

i like to think of it as, these ceilings or plateaus are not just walls where the improvement stops, just where it slows down for a while, usually to the point where you dont feel yourself improving, but its still happening very gradually and youll still be unrecognisable once you look back at an old score or vod or something

[zenith reef]

true true, ive only hit voltaic dia, and 1 asc score but i rlly wanna try again, its just the slow improvement thats frustrating

[tough pebble]

you probably wouldnt see that much improvement from just retrying the benchmarks every day, and there are definitely things you can do to speed up the progress if thats what you want, but i wouldnt know much about that part

[zenith reef]

i get that, thanks anyway tho man, youve been of great help

[cerulean depot]

I didn’t play vdim or any other scens and i just brute forced runs on benches

Im currently diamond to almost master in a week
I come from a static background tho before playing the benches and i actively watch vods to learn techniques and correct mistakes

[zenith reef]

thing is i know fundamentals, edge tracking, bardpill, etc and i implement them daily, but im just horrible at seeing what my issues are and finding the right solutions

[cerulean depot]

I just play benchmarks only bruh
Just grind them

[zenith reef]

ill try :')
