Valorant Guide - INSANELY STRONG SIMPLE RANKED TIP - Defensive Fundamentals - Reactive Play

In this video I share my most important ranked defensive tip with all of you. The goal of doing this is to train us to be anticipatory thinkers instead of reactive ones. If we can plan ahead and prepare for the most common situations in game, we often can put ourselves in great positions to counter our enemies play and rotate in time to support our teammates on the other site. I hope this ranked tip helps you guys rank up, start actively thinking outside of the server and prepare yourself for battle when you enter your ranked games!

Would really appreciate a Leo vod review (similar to your aspas one) and how he finds value throughout the round! Currently teaching myself initiator for my friend group and your OG initiator vid has been by far the most helpful. How to set teammates up, positioning, aggression, and greeding util are all things I'd love to learn about in the context of a pro vod. From Leo in particular, how has he managed to find so much success over such a long period? How does he stay so consistent? How does he manage to save so many rounds? Thanks! Keep up the great vids.

would love to see this elaborated on by map or agent at some point

Hey Vapen, Love the vids man, just a suggestion, but I think you should try to sync your map breakdowns in chronological order with the premier maps just to maximize potential viewers!

You mentioned that a big agentpool helped you alot though many other coaches say to only play few agents. As i ve come to high immortal and radiants in my lobbies i ve noticed that more people fill(or just play meta comps in general). So idk if i should maybe extend my agent pool

[hyunnimitsu]

asking just because. You can be ready for what could happen on the site you are, but what if you guess the site wrong and you gotta play retake every time? i either instant rotate or lurk from behind but still lose many rounds without having a lot of impact

[LUKAS]

Since your vids are shorter now maybe Just Show one round of any Player using this pattern

i have 70%+ winrate on raze but i rarely use duelist since im scared to not be able to pull off the kills expected from a duelist and id rather try to carry as a sentinel to avoid disappointment if i dont frag as much. should i try to main duelist?
