Title as is, pushed to plat after a solid week of playing. This first link [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKARtqqGTrc] is the main video, and really the only one to watch unless you really want to delve into my current static progression. I think myu tempo and fluidity have improved a bit, but any more specific tips and or scenarios to help me improve would be much appreciated.
This video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQTNqwOzeuQ] is a Wide Wall 4 run through.
This [https://youtu.be/Dlxp9EH69OM] is a 1w6ts run through
Last but not least [https://youtu.be/cPenJqDxnRc] is a 1w4ts 30% Larger run.
Sorry for all the videos, but any pointers on any of them would be great!
#1w3ts Intermediate tips

I can almost feel like I need to push my speed faster, which I would do by pushing my tempo and exploding off targets better, however I just can't seem to find a good set of scenarios to really target that. I also tend to still overflick on a few wider targets which may be a weak point on static for me, likely going to implement more wide scenarios in further training.
I only watched the 1w3t, and that's what I'll be referring to.
It would be really helpful when reviewing to have the stats hub on. You can look back and quickly check what your pacing and such was like.
I'm pointing this out bc dynamic pacing seems to be something you struggle with. Especially in the first 40ish seconds of the run. What I mean by that is your flicks are all the same speed. There's a lack of urgency or willingness to adjust tempo and flick speed when the bots spawn closer together. Idk if it's because you're scared of missing, but in the latter half of the run you do push your speed and pacing more aggressively. There's less time spent and needed to confirm micros.
About 48s into the vod you begin to more precisely flick onto the target and spend less time confirming the kill before clicking. I'm not sure exactly what the pace was, but if you were able to maintain that pace with a 90% accuracy you'd likely be able to hit diamond. With 95% accuracy, that's likely jade. I can't actually confirm that since you don't have the stat hub on though.
I know missing's uncomfortable. Pushing speed and limit testing is especially frustrating when you're trying to balance the average pace and accuracy you need. Sometimes something as simple as a metronome to get that initial idea for how fast your average pace needs to be can really help you get a feel. It's not something you should heavily rely on, but it's a great tool to feel what you need to do.
I'd also say that wide targets are always the best thing to practice over/undershooting, especially for the format of 1w3ts. Smaller targets, or more targets, to better practice chaining and micros would be better. Smaller is helpful because if you over/undershoot you're more heavily punished. More targets because it helps train fluidity and tempo.
