My equipment:

Timestamps:

0:00 Intro
0:11 Don't look inside your crosshair
1:26 Fill or insta-lock duelist?
2:56 Instantly thinking about what you could've done differently
3:23 Use Twitter and Discords to find players to play with
4:25 Understanding momentum will make you rank up 3x as fast
5:36 Impress yourself, not others
6:55 Take risks and very importantly trust your intuition
8:11 If you're a good player, watch your own games back, not pros
9:48 Make a realistic plan (non-negotiable weekly tasks)
11:32 Expect to top frag

6:55 Is my biggest issue. As a Skye main with 340 matches total, ranked in ascendant 2-3. I feel that many of my biggest errors and missplays comes when listening to my duos/teammates suggestions on my playstyle, that's when I get out of my own focus and try to adapt to what they think is the right play. Not saying I don't missplay when doing my own stuff, but there's a big gap in the error.

Extremely underrated channel. Not just repeating every other video about the subject. Having a good mentality is not talked about often enough.

I will say as a player who started in iron 1 on my first pc game -
Iron - Plat is game time(with this comes mechanics and better crosshair placement) and aim training while watching what pros do in games and think why they do it
Diamond - ascendant refining the base mechanics more and more and looking at patterns enemies do to manipulate it to your advantage. As well as having a pre round plan in your head if you position somewhere to get out or just get as many as you can and die.
Immortal 1-2 (where i'm at now) where everything really comes together, economy, trap plays to win rounds, playing with teammates, stuff like that. when I was ascendant climbing to Immortal I kind of had to do a mechanics overhaul on myself and force myself to hold wider so I don't have to move my mouse and just click because people love to swing wider than usual. Now that im pushing immortal 3 IMO it feels a little different now and I can hold slightly more tight because they're gonna stop and try not to swing into multiple angles at once.
Honestly refining the base mechanics to perfection is what will increase your skill level massively.

About looking at the crosshair, a great way to practice not looking at it is playing non-ranked with your crosshair disabled, which will after some time automatically give you the feeling for if you are aiming at the enemy or not without even seeing the crosshair, and it wont impact your rank negatively


(atleast it was what helped me with that problem)

this was honestly quite a helpful video, not repeating the same info that's being uploaded since the release of the game, I found quite good tips from this, thank you.
honestly what I've learnt from playing this game are.
1. being calm will help you a lot rather than tilting.
2. warming up is not about how much time you put in, it's about you feeling that you're hitting shots and the time it would take depends on you, one day you'll just need 10 while one day you might need 30. Dont queue if you're not warmed up since in the long run it'll just make your rank up journey longer.
3. movement is just as important as aim, making it both work together will help you win more gun fights.
4. don't take ego fights, focus on taking 1v1's
5. communicate with your team before the round starts about how you plan to play the round and also ask if anyone has any suggestions.
6. just mute toxic team mates rather than saying anything back, 9/10 times a toxic team mate will not give you any valuable info rather than just thrash talking.
7. vod review to know your flaws.
8. have at least 2-3 roles you can play in the team comp, with 2 agents per role, to maximise your win percentage if you chose to fill, in lower ranks it's okay to instalock duelist but remember that wont guarantee your win. Out of 100 games, 20 games you're gonna win no matter what, and 20 games are gonna be lost no matter what, so focus on winning the rest of the 60.
9. after vod reviewing you're gonna know what type of playstyle that suits you, next is to find a pro player or a radiant streamer with similar style and learn things from their stream. (in lower elo a lot things you learn wont work up until plat or diamond, since lower lobbies play with a different mindset)
10. having a duo or trio will help you win more games since you have someone to trust on your team and coordinate plays.
11. being lower on the scoreboard doesn't mean you're playing bad, as long as you're doing your job and making easier for the team to secure rounds, it's all good, like no one is expecting you to have 30 kills as a smoke agent (controller)
12. learn to comm, like learn places on the map, just call out enemy agent, position and damage if any, keep it short and simple.
13. try not to backseat the other players either since we all know we want to win and end up over communicating which also backfires.

was imm3 and quit val to go back to CS. I can say that these are REALLY nice tips. I've applied most of these before unconsciously but it's still nice knowing this vid isn't BS. Keep up the good work man!

[codealias]

Those shots so were so crispy in the beginning.

[rubiedy]

such a unique and helpful video, man. i just gave a last chance to watch this kind of content cause they repeat the same routines, but this one didn’t disappointed me even a bit. thanks for the advices and i hope your channel grows as fast as it can 🥳

[RocketTV-YT]

Holy amazing job, great knowledge and great quality editing! New sub, 🤟

[bobaz]

This is so random and i love your content so much, its genuinely of such high quality and its really helpful. Are you Marrentm on youtube? You have the exact same voice, the editing style is similar and the thumbnails are also edited and put together in a similar way. Much love keep up the good work man

[xenonftw]

This has definitely been a great video as i didnt observe any points that have just been repeated, same as other tips n tricks videos. Great work dude!

Want to climb the rank?
Step 1: get better aim🗿
Step 2: get more kills
Step 3: get better 🗿

[beerus]

that trust is key part is super hard. I used to also do filling and i got to diamond but it was like hitting a wall. top fragging but losing because I wasnt using a self-sustaining agent was so difficult. I switched to instalocking reyna till i got to ascendant, but now it kinda feels different. Im more impatient and bored whenever there are defaults etc. I noticed that when you start playing in ascendant people tend to play super safe and i dont know why? maybe its just me but thats my two cents. Very good video!

[aaveey]

This is why i subbwd to you so early, i could tell your advice was genuine and unique. Great video man, keep up the good work

[philip]

didnt know marrentm plays valorant. Thanks bro your videos are always super helpful!!

[sarangraaee]

okay now this helps, might have to watch it a few more times to get all the points properly .. but freaking amazing dude !!!!

[pandybambus]

tysm when i look back at the moments where i played well and where i played not so well then i see that every point you just talked about is what i did ( i mean with the not looking at the croshair and stuff like that)

[conscvlr]

absolutely love all the tops you cover Kaz, in other videos also, been watching you for a bit now and havent seen something ive yet to disagree with, keep it up homie :)

[TheProPlayZ]

Step 1. Get better
Step 2. Find friend to play with (you can't win if your team sucks no matter how good you are)
Step 3. Grind
