#

If you die and ur teammate gets 3

twin osprey
#

W\

#

if we win the round because of it, great

barren wraith
#

So you’re not thinking why’d i lose that gunfight and what can i do to do that better

#

Maybe i can jiggle that for info and then swing with my teammate

#

and now it’s a 2v1 and we have bomb down so i can play post with my teammate and hold a cross

twin osprey
#

you asked for whether or not I consider a death positive or negative

#

not what I think about after I die

barren wraith
#

I’m asking if you are thinking of deaths as a negative or positive thing

#

Bc you should literally 100% of the time see them as a positive thing

twin osprey
#

you mean because I can improve because of them?

barren wraith
#

Yeah

#

even if the round is loss

#

if you take it as that you’ll lose a lot

#

but you’ll improve if you realize why you lost

twin osprey
#

I do sometimes realize why I lost

#

and sometimes I'm fucking clueless tbh

short island
#

@twin osprey you know how I know it’s a mental issue? You’ve never once asked me “hey bro, can you show me/help me”. You type a lot of words but there’s never a ? After anything you type

#

You type a lot of pseudo intellectual cope but honestly it’s quite vapid

#

@barren wraith is a lot better than you and on his vod review, he doesn’t type shit except to ask things

twin osprey
#

^^

twin osprey
#

^^ this was the reply

barren wraith
#

you're mental issue is your own mental issue

#

Its up to you to work it out

twin osprey
twin osprey
#

I don’t even know what it is

#

I can’t grasp it

twin osprey
#

I already know most of the answers and the ones I don’t have answers to, I don’t even know exist.

#

You know what I’m saying?

twin osprey
#

Except aim train 😈

#

#1 in my country ain’t getting away that easily (yes they are)

barren wraith
twin osprey
#

In voltaic we trust 🙏

short island
#

That’s like saying you can get a 100 on a test but you just purposefully fail just cuz

#

Its previous in Round 2 where everything is wrong from the beginning, you fight long range with a classic instead of just fighting with Reyna closer, you miss your cage, you look down at the ground to pick up a gun and only die because it’s low elo

#

You spend the rest of the round just running in circles instead of doing something then when you fight you just stand still and win because the KJ also sucks

#

Which you also hold way too tight for you skill and how people will swing

#

You just start talking to Reyna and then after you kill the Breach with a body shot btw and poor xhair placement, you do this wiggle like you’re him

twin osprey
short island
#

Round 4 you have a Jett that’s tripped but you spray into a HS instead of an easy one tap and then randomly ult instead of prepping for the next fight as someone will try to trade.

twin osprey
#

Oh bruh

#

You’re talking about the first vod I sent here

#

I’ve learned a lot since then

short island
#

???

twin osprey
short island
#

Bro you’re still the same rank no?

twin osprey
#

No

#

I went down a few

#

But I got way better

short island
#

?

twin osprey
#

Like I’d smoke my past self in a 1v1

#

Absolutely shit on

#

Wouldn’t even be close

#

My past self doesn’t know me 😈🙏

twin osprey
short island
#

I can’t even tell if just rage bait or delusional

twin osprey
#

I got way better

short island
#

So why does it matter?

twin osprey
#

A lot

#

Again, I’d smoke my past self 30 - 5 in a 1v1 on drift tdm

twin osprey
#

My crosshair placement is pretty good

#

I barely spray

short island
#

Are you Asc yet?

twin osprey
#

My mechanics generally got better

twin osprey
short island
#

Then your xhair placement sucks

twin osprey
#

Bro

twin osprey
short island
#

It can’t be good unless you’re at least Dia

twin osprey
#

Just because I’m silver

#

Doesn’t mean I have bad crosshair placement

#

You do realize that

short island
#

Yes it does?

twin osprey
short island
#

Or you wouldn’t be silver

twin osprey
#

Ranks don’t define skill

short island
#

Common sense?

twin osprey
twin osprey
twin osprey
short island
#

Now I can’t tell if your stupid or not and I’m not even trying to be mean

short island
twin osprey
#

You can’t say for everyone that “you’re silver, your crosshair placement sucks” or “you’re ascendant, your crosshair placement must be good”.

#

It doesn’t work that way

short island
#

Yes it does?

twin osprey
short island
#

Nvm it’s fine, my fault

twin osprey
short island
#

And who have you talked to?

twin osprey
#

I started it

twin osprey
#

I don’t remember their names

short island
#

This is deadass not me trying to be mean but good luck in everything in life

twin osprey
#

Also im pretty sure I’ve seen pros talk about something similar

short island
#

You will def need it

twin osprey
#

And I’ve seen people in lower ranks that were really good and not smurfing

short island
#

Bless all these other guys in here trying to help as well

#

You right king, Silvers are beasts

twin osprey
short island
#

Have a good day and gl

twin osprey
twin osprey
#

Time to prove the haters wrong, ngl

#

In 2 weeks I’m locking in hard

#

VOD reviewing myself every day

#

6 deathmatches a day to really iron out my mechanics

#

(Also it’s only about 1.5 comp games, so it’s worth it)

#

Nah I ain’t giving up now

#

Grinding till radiant

#

Final words: yurrgurt

barren wraith
#

Hardstuck forever, I was already planning on hitting radiant but we can make it a little race if you want and see how actually reaches the end

#

@twin osprey

twin osprey
#

What’s your rank rn?

#

And when do you plan on reaching it?

silent monolith
#

Lemme join too

#

Same thing I was going for immo 3 tho

barren wraith
#

i’m plat 1 rn

#

and i’m not setting a deadline on when i’m reaching it

barren wraith
#

isn’t

soft dust
#

ok genuinely search up a reaction time test and o it

twin osprey
twin osprey
twin osprey
#

That’s why I was going for immo

twin osprey
#

Below average

#

Like

#

170

barren wraith
#

we'll both plateau and at some point we'll overcome it and reach it just depends who does it firs

twin osprey
twin osprey
twin osprey
#

screw radiant complete, I suck aim wise rn, just trying to get immo complete + radiant in 2 weeks 😭 🙏

barren wraith
#

@twin osprey

#

Hows it going

twin osprey
#

terrible

#

I'm not immo complete yet

#

also

#

I played val today

#

and I was super self conscious of my skill

barren wraith
twin osprey
twin osprey
#

that you?

barren wraith
#

Yes

#

I got proper sleep and took my meds

#

and ate well got a early morning run too

twin osprey
#

I got 14 hours of sleep

barren wraith
#

what bout before that

twin osprey
#

and I couldn't aim in val whatsoever

twin osprey
barren wraith
#

like day before

twin osprey
#

idk like

#

6 or 7

barren wraith
#

I see okay thats decent

twin osprey
#

I know

barren wraith
#

what were u focusing on in game?

twin osprey
#

8 would be ideal

twin osprey
#

abilities

barren wraith
#

I slept 7 and im chilling

twin osprey
#

damn

barren wraith
#

before that it was an hour

#

anyways uh man

twin osprey
#

🫥

#

yea?

barren wraith
#

You're good

twin osprey
#

soon

#

nrn

#

my mechanics felt super off

#

I think imma change my sens to my training one

#

(1600 DPI .2)

#

in val I have 1600 DPI .175

barren wraith
#

ah

#

my sens in val is .135

twin osprey
#

nice

barren wraith
twin osprey
#

idk if I clipped that one figt

#

fight*

#

but holy

#

I didn't hit a shot

#

and it was a 70/30

barren wraith
#

like 70% in ur advantage is that what u mean

twin osprey
#

yes

barren wraith
#

I need you to like 100% trust me on this

twin osprey
#

yea?

barren wraith
#

Positioning > Literally almost everything

#

Positioning/Movement/ Crosshair placement if ur decent in those things ur chilling bro

#

Play with ur team, Stay focused, Stay as positive as possible, and make simple plays with ur teammates

twin osprey
#

and I had good positioning

barren wraith
#

Was it the best positioning

twin osprey
twin osprey
barren wraith
#

Probably not idk what the situation was

twin osprey
twin osprey
#

fracture

barren wraith
#

Its all g man

twin osprey
#

they dropped out of dish

#

or drop I mean

#

you know

#

and I was at the top part where the door is

barren wraith
#

After the round is over, its the past. Learn from it improve from it and if u whiffed you whiffed next round

#

Ye ik what u mean

twin osprey
#

yes

barren wraith
#

It prolly wasnt terrible positioning but there is more to positioning than just location

twin osprey
#

I do that

barren wraith
#

Thats good

twin osprey
#

🤯

barren wraith
#

Yes

twin osprey
#

I'm aware of all of this

#

but in game

#

I just idk

#

don't think it feels like

#

but at least the game loves me rn

#

I lost -10 for being bad

#

and got +28 for being bad

#

:))

barren wraith
#

You could've rushed him

#

No bomb down either make the comm to ur teammates to play back or play safe

twin osprey
twin osprey
#

:3333

barren wraith
#

Yeah what were you looking at in that moment if u can remember

twin osprey
#

lemme check if I have the clip

#

I can send it then

#

sadly I don't have it

#

I should play more reyna tbh

#

the clips I have on reyna are absurd

#

and generally I just play better I feel like

barren wraith
#

i mean at ur level id recommend it but when u get higher ranked i think its better to try a more skilled agent

#

even if thats like raze

#

Reyna is just gun go brrr and yup

twin osprey
barren wraith
#

So its really good for learning how to take fights and shit like that but playing someone like raze or jett will help you better understand the game

twin osprey
barren wraith
twin osprey
barren wraith
#

Im watching minimap

#

We know where Clove is here

#

Then we see reyna peek on mini map and peek clove off reynas contact

#

And we're in spawn

twin osprey
#

but my character was looking at the door

barren wraith
#

Honestly rotates unless someone is like a known lurker

#

Im glancing at minimap 80% of the time rotate

twin osprey
#

wait

#

this isn't the round I was talking about I think, actually

#

no it likely was

twin osprey
#

I watch minimap so much

#

unless I'm well

#

in danger

barren wraith
#

Ended like this

barren wraith
#

Yes its great that ur looking at it

#

Use it

twin osprey
twin osprey
#

try

twin osprey
#

:OOOO

barren wraith
#

Thats good

#

then you'll learn just keep using it

#

and dying

#

and it'll click someday when u shouldnt be looking at it

twin osprey
#

it already has

#

I don't permanently stare at it

#

I look at it when I'm with knife out or not holding an angle

barren wraith
#

and when u should be using it to win rounds like that

#

honestly I think thats a comms thing too

twin osprey
#

wdym

#

I comm

#

and listen to them as well

barren wraith
#

Comm "Yo just play back, chill out, and we win round"

twin osprey
#

rarely works tbh

#

but tbf

#

I rarely call out what other should do

#

unless it's a specific play at the start of the round

#

like "breach stun for me and sova dart please"

barren wraith
#

Yeahyeah

#

You can call mid round too

#

Just be chill about it

#

that round shouldnt have been lost, and imo its not cause "I whiffed' its cause you were too passive

#

either u had to play ONLY passive, or peek with ur reyna

twin osprey
#

true

#

I could've just waited till clove went site

barren wraith
#

Peeking with reyna and saying ill play off ur contact is much better odds to winning, because its a 2v1

#

If she peeks and kills reyna

#

ur in a 1v1 rn with her having bomb down

twin osprey
#

I perform better when I'm in the disadvantage icl

#

it's a mental thing

#

same reason I play better in higher elo

#

I lock in more

barren wraith
#

Listen

#

Mental is the most important thing in everything

#

Its the key to you improving,ranking up, literally everything is just ur perspective on things and how ur thinking

#

You're mental between games shouldnt be change

#

Do you have a tracker app?

#

So you can see stats in game

twin osprey
#

or generally aim trainers

#

breaking down how you aim

twin osprey
#

I uninstalled it

#

because it was tilting me

#

like a year back already

barren wraith
twin osprey
#

because sometimes hitting a target seems hard

#

so you break it down into steps

#

and once you got those down

#

it's one smooth motion

barren wraith
#

break getting into immo down into steps

twin osprey

#

🤯

barren wraith
#

yup

twin osprey
#

btw new derank shields are wild

barren wraith
#

those arent steps those are leaps

twin osprey
#

that's true

barren wraith
#

break it down into "What's holding me back, how can i improve that thing"

twin osprey
#

decision making

#

positioning

#

comms (the mid round play ones)

#

agent mastery

Idk heres an idea I saw in a yt video

#

On a google doc

#

Make the ideal valorant player

#

Theres a entire list of things to work towards

#

Be creative dont just think in game think of personal lives

#

diet

#

exercise

#

pysch

#

mental

#

daily shit

#

and there is a list of thingss for you to improve on right there

twin osprey
twin osprey

Btw I changed my sens from .175 to .2 now and it feels slightly more natural somehow.

#

@barren wraith

barren wraith
#

I see thats good

#

yo

#

@twin osprey you better start playing valorant

#

man

#

I haven't encountered throwers in forever

#

but

#

the deadlock and sova were throwing

#

sova wasn't throwing hard

#

but deadlock was trying her hardest that we lose

#

having an afk instead of her would've won us the game icl

silent monolith
#

Ngl I need coaching myself

#

Sorry bro I needa focus on my own gameplay for a bit since I don’t seem to rank up

#

The opposite actually I went down 100rr today

barren wraith
#

mental is always the issue

I watched a MattyOW’s video about linear clicking (I already know allat, except that it was called that), but when he said “TacFPS” I kinda remembered that Valorant in the first place is about the tactic.

#

And the gunfights should be tactical

#

Not randomly selected

#

And I’m trying to understand how to select good gunfights.

#

(I still whiff a bunch @barren wraith )

#

2 days ago I had a wild flank and whiffed everything

#

10 bullets

#

I had like 4 - 6 seconds of time

silent monolith
twin osprey
#

I’m S2

silent monolith
#

It’s chill tho I know I’m better than 90% of the people I play against😛

twin osprey
#

I am hardstuck

twin osprey
#

I played kinda ok yesterday

silent monolith
twin osprey
twin osprey
#

the difference is

#

that you went up 3 ranks

#

and I went down 1 rank

#

at least I'm not hardstuck in aimlabs

#

I'm improving rather quickly if I said so myself

neat monolith
twin osprey
twin osprey
#

I'm hardstuck gold forever, or am I?

fleet sage
#

wait you're still in silver gold?

twin osprey
#

closer to plat tho (gold 2 62/100 iirc)

#

"the coach don't play" or what?

fleet sage
twin osprey
#

6 months*

#

and mb it's actually 7 per 6 months

#

the average game takes 35 min

#

7 games are 245 minutes (4 hours and 5 minutes)

#

6 months have 259,200 minutes (4,320 hours)

#

you can't use 0.0945216049382716% of your time to play ranked? @fleet sage

#

I'm not trying to hate, you do you, but being a coach is not a valid excuse imo

fleet sage
#

I spend all my time watching the game not playing it

twin osprey
twin osprey
fleet sage
twin osprey
#

I mean how many hours do you have on the game? like 10k?

fleet sage
#

Cause i don't need mechs to coach people about decision making strategy and all that ba

#

Plus protocols

#

You get none of that in ranked

twin osprey
twin osprey
#

if you watch others play all day, don't you at least want to play yourself sometimes?

fleet sage

But if i get ranked and place in shitlow it's not fun

twin osprey
twin osprey
twin osprey
#

like can you send tracker :3

fleet sage
#

Nah

#

I got like

#

In terms of playing... like 600?

#

I use to play pro chess so like strategy comes more natural

#

Like can I easily get to my peak beforehand? Not easily but if i grin probably but it doesn't apply to like... officials n shit

Meh, don't put too much thought of what automated bots we call teammates say that don't contribute to anything

I'm on my rank up btw

#

I played immo-level yesterday

potentially diamond till the end of the act (4 days)

twin osprey
#

No longer hardstuck gold forever.

I won a game in plat

I consider that me being un-hardstuck.
