send a comp vod

also tracker pls

[silent knot]

ill record one in a bit
in the meantime could u just see what im doing wrong in the dm 🙏🏽
i feel like there's a major difference between me and a high elo player

[night grotto]

im not a high rank at all in val but one thing i noticed is your aim feels floaty ig your mouse movements dont feel very intentional and either you dont move your mouse and move alot or dont move and use your mouse alot could be making it worse

[warm fulcrum]

idk bro you ain't aiming at the head

[silent knot]

can u point out a few examples so i can fix

[night grotto]

that first fight with the neon instead of fixing your crossahair placement you just kept strafing causing you to lose

the fight with the miks at 29 same thing

[warm fulcrum]

?
It's just bad micros the strafing didn't cause him to lose lol

[silent knot]

oh ig ill grind micros then

[warm fulcrum]

send the comp vod sir + tracker pls

[night grotto]

i wasnt saying him strafing was the reason he lost it he lost because he wasnt moving his mouse he kept it at body height and just strafed

[warm fulcrum]

icic ye

[night grotto]

and the fight 3:50 you stopped moving to just move your mouse what id try do personally is when in dm's use sheriff and guardian and try go for only heads

[silent knot]

problem is i can barely see the heads 😭

[warm fulcrum]

well that's an issue no?

[cloud garnet]

"miks do you have a fucking life" 😭

nah but hes like slicing the pie but to such a small extent , only slicing angles he likes then gets caught off guard when he randomly swings add to the weak crosshair placement asw, im guessing your rank is around gold 2

[warm fulcrum]

bro it says on the yt vid g1

[cloud garnet]

oh at least i was close enough

[silent knot]

@warm fulcrum
ill get u the ranked vod today 🙂

watched my vid in 0.25 and im mostly losing fights due to lack of awareness or just terrible micros

whats your preference, a game where im playing good to showcase my flaws when im at my best , a normal game, or a game where im doing particularly bad, like negative

[warm fulcrum]

idk man anything is fine

send a normal game

[cloud garnet]

do you mind if the res is 4:3 clipping works that way cause i do stretched

[warm fulcrum]

ye ok

[cloud garnet]

https://youtu.be/7peav77R5Gc it was tough trying to stay positive but i tried

[warm fulcrum]

here you go
im not really the best vod reviewer but this is just what i can recognise

also to add that is okay if you want to play really aggresive after getting a site, just make sure you actually commit instead of leaving your iso out to dry (see AR8)

[cloud garnet]

im still using this trying to implement advice

main takeways ive taken is to be a bit more aggressive with some fights and safer with others, and to reposition in one and dones instead of re peeking,by pushing out sites do you mean taking map space, or going all the way for a flank

im also struggling with igling the team, im not sure if its the way im doing it but im getting a ton of teammates literally crashing out over basic comms like : play trades in a 2v1

[cloud garnet]

derank streak of doom and despair, i feel like even if im being a top duelist i just never have enough impact unless im match mvping idk wtf to do

[warm fulcrum]

for flanking and taking map space it's honestly both and it depends on the situation. Sometimes like for example Haven A Long I'll push out but I won't flank and just hold from behind the wall right outside the lobby in long. You just need to find a balance among whether to push out, hold site or flank

[warm fulcrum]

it is what it is you just need to feel it out cause obv any amt igling is better than none but obv over doing to tilting ur team might be bad

[warm fulcrum]

you can start vod reviewing urself what kind of situation in game makes u feel hopeless. E.g. you rushing and site and all the enemies are there
