I have a hard time memorizing this so I’m taking notes 😭 I’m studying this harder than my school classes

As someone who progressed and still actively works on a ton of these aspects. These are PHENOMENAL tips. I very much struggle with tempo switching. I have rather bad ping and focus on pressuring players. My duo partner is defensive and thrives with people pressuring him. He's the better of us two, but our playstyles were further enhanced by 1v1ing each other so much. There's time where he has a great opportunity and delays closing out a fight and where I go too aggressive and don't pace myself. Another tip from here is I would focus on my builds and edits too hard. I would work on the LATEST meta builds and edits and would focus on executing them instead of focusing on my opponent and letting the builds come naturally. This comes down to a fundemental of spending warmup time building/editing and then warming up with fighting someone and letting those happen organically.

Great video, I respect the time and effort you put into making this video it helped me get better at the game, thank you!

I played better in speed realistics after watching this video. I just stressed less about building speed and more about tracking my enemy and being more thoughtful and less rushed.

One thing that helped my awareness (aka keeping track of opponent) is separating my movement binds from my building binds. That allows me to keep my crosshair/vision on my opponent the majority of the time. When I say separate movement binds from building binds I mean making them independent of one another - being able to do both things at the same time - the bad scenario would be when you have to remove your building keys to move and when you have to remove your movement keys in order to build. Make sure they are on different fingers.

A tip with peeks this video doesn't mention is standing back from the builds a bit. He mentioned being on top of the builds, but this is NOT optimal. Creating a gap and doing longer ranged peeks and edits is more beneficial for one reason. RED "X". When too close to a build despite seeing your opponent, you risk shooting the build. This is highly prevalent with window edits. If hugging the window, you risk shooting the frame instead of your enemy. Backing up some and even using the cone as additional protection, despite requiring extra aim and slightly decreased dmg, will allow you to get off safer chip damage. Executed effeciently this costs almost no loss of dmg while much safer and more consistent.

As someone who just came back for the og season after not playing in years this is really helpful back when i was building we would just ramp rush this new tech is a lot different but i appreciate the explanations im silver one in build ranked gonna be trying to learn and practice more in chapter 5

[TeaYenSvg]

sick video man! Commenting for algorithm :)

[Realkeonr]

My number one weakness here is tempo switching, I know how to play defensive and offensive but switching between the two isn't something I've learned to master yet

[SuperJG]

This gave me so much motivation to play. Really well made video ❤

[xJxcksonx]

WOW. this was a amazing video. I went from elite to unreal just from this. Thank you and you deserve all the support in the world

[Zombeez]

subscribed yesterday and have been watching these videos to try and get a better grasp, I haven't felt good playing this game since chapter 1-2 and coming back and playing ranked and getting massacred in diamond these videos have been extremely helpful for me to grasp what the new standard is

[TheRatToby]

I can not stress enough how good it makes you playing with someone that is better than you. I learned so much game sense and to play safely when I was 1v1 my friend. in about 3 months I went from barely doing a doubble edit and running into players with no game plan. to being able to do quad edit and being a hard target to kill. REMEMBER TO 1V1 THE BETTER PLAYER EVERYDAY. THATS THE BEST WAY TO IMPROVE

[Physczz]

I would love to see more of these videos man, I like how real you are with the tips, just straight up 0 bs, thanks a lot and keep that mf rolling💪

[SliceChannel]

I’d call myself a high skilled player but I feel like what stops me from going that extra bit further is my nerves I’ve had these nerves since chapter one when I get into fights idk why I get nervous but I do and I feel as if it costs me the fight. Any tips to maybe reduce these nerves

[yozah]

Thank you, I have always been good at building and editing but I never knew how to use those mechanics in an actual fight
