I feel myself to fallen behind from average Gold player too much in term of aiming and crosshair placements, even when I practice my aim everyday (even on days I don't play)
And sorry for some background noise, basically unavoidable since my PTT on my OBS is broken and my PC is placed in a shared room with my other brothers

good drill for crosshair placement is going into a game and trying to keep it at head level the entire game including pre round and while your buying, hooj uploaded a video like that recently and has others on movement/peeking; running dm's to get it more consistent helps a lot too
i'd also recommend watching how a pro plays brim on haven/other maps, if you do !pwea in chat it'll show you people you can watch. your smokes are a bit of a problem since normally you want to smoke the direct entrances to site but yours at least in the first 2 rounds are kind of all over the place; like smoking the entrance to garden on A that would work if your team was pushing up but your reyna got one and dipped, so you would have been better off saving it and double smoking a (even with the wall since it hadn't come up yet i'd just auto double smoke it but I could be wrong). Then for smokes on round 2 you smoke window which is good if people are peeking and you want to fight, but thats after swinging the jett when you saw them pushing up B, I'd have smoked B main then peeked. The second smoke also can't be capitalised off of even if you pushed down it would be limiting space for you guys
sorry for wall of text, don't have too much time to watch i'll check out another round or two though

Yeah thats helped me
Reading your as I rewatching my VOD here

2nd round at the end 2v1 vs omen, even if that guy is on A that smoke is a bit of a waste; if you REALLY wanted to smoke it off and sit there it'd be better to have it flush with the wall instead of in so deep
its far easier to improve step by step, so if I was you i'd be focusing on getting good at smokes and crosshair placement currently
theres definitely going to be plenty of other issues but you can solve them later on since a smoke main not being able to smoke properly is a big issue

general rule of thumb though for end of round 2, if its a 2v1 you want to go group up with your teammate so your making it an actual 2v1; like the dream for anyone in 1vX scenarios is that the enemy team peeks you 1 by 1
also double smokes can work but like omen + brim or astra + brim/omen or whatever the combo is with smokers with the big fat circular smokes isn't a great combo mainly since it requires too much coordination to make sure your not accidentally both smoking the same spot or something
plush sky
Yes I understand
I remember in this match I usually resmoke Omen previous smoke spot and call for it so he didnt have to smoke it again
limber wren
yeah it just makes it a bit more complicated, if you really wanted to play a smoker and you already have omen it'd be better to go viper/harbor or just a different agent

I usually switch if there was already a controller
This match I was hard force it for the VOD and Omen picked later
