0:00All right. So, the topics covered today
0:06Go to the slideshow.
0:07Number one, weapon-based win conditions,
0:09okay? So, we're going to talk about
0:10weapon-based win conditions, and we're
0:12going to talk about how to effectively
0:13at a high level deviate your play style
0:16to benefit using those weapons.
0:18It's not enough to just buy the Sheriff
0:19on pistol, right? Got to know how to use
0:21it.
0:22The second thing, advanced movement
0:24tech. I'm going to give you guys
0:25examples, and I'm also going to show you
0:27how to do this advanced movement tech
0:29that we will go over later.
0:31Number three,
0:33I'm going to teach you how to deviate
0:34your mechanical decision-making based on
0:36the enemy's pace, the game state, and
0:39the situation, okay?
0:42Number four,
0:43I'm going to explain how you can
0:44actually hit your mechanical prime in an
0:47actual match,
0:48not just DMs,
0:50okay?
0:51So, what does that mean?
0:53A lot of people, you know, they're
0:54really good in deathmatch, they're
0:56really good in isolated situations. I'm
0:58going to explain why,
1:00and I'm going to teach you how you can
1:01fix that. There's no way to entirely fix
1:03that, but I can teach you and help you
1:05understand you can make some progress.
1:08Number five,
1:10modern drills to train good aim habits.
1:13That's a little bit cap. It's It's a
1:15little bit different than that, but yes,
1:16we're going to go over some modern
1:17drills.
1:19Guys, just to be clear, the slides are
1:20just topics. Everything else I'm being
1:23taught Sorry, I'm teaching audibly.
1:26All right, let's get right into it.
1:29Weapon-based win conditions. Okay, so
1:32we're going to be launching right into
1:33Valorant here in a second, but what are
1:35weapon-based win conditions?
1:37These are win conditions
1:40that you have in the game just by using
1:42the weapon. So, a Sheriff is a
1:45weapon-based win condition on pistol.
1:47I'm going to map out right now what some
1:48of the weapon-based win conditions are
1:50in this game, okay? Let's talk about it.
1:52The first, okay, is going to be on
1:55pistol round, you're going to have a
1:56sheriff, okay? So, I'll actually just
1:59type it right here.
2:01And then I'll delete it, okay? So, the
2:02first on pistol round is going to be a
2:04sheriff, all right?
2:05And also a classic. Both of those, you
2:08can have weapon-based win conditions
2:09with, and I'll elaborate on both of
2:10those, okay?
2:12Number two,
2:13okay, is going to be when you are on
2:15eco,
2:16you can use the bandit.
2:18Eco bandit. You can also use the
2:20sheriff, okay?
2:21Number three is going to be your
2:23anti-eco weapon-based win conditions,
2:25which is going to be your outlaw,
2:28marshal,
2:30or rifle.
2:34Obviously, those are different depending
2:35on the round, okay?
2:36And then four is your gun round.
2:41Op,
2:42Odin,
2:43and even Phantom to some extent, okay?
2:47So, these are your weapon-based win
2:49conditions. Let's go through them one by
2:51one, all right? I'm going to head into
2:52the game right now.
2:53Going to head into a custom game on
2:57Ascent.
2:59I'm going to teach you these.
3:05For now, let's start talking about it
3:06though.
3:08Okay, so, everybody knows that these
3:10weapons are good on these rounds, at
3:12least you should. But, the two problems
3:14that I see players make,
3:16>> Whatever they run.
3:17>> for the most part, is that number one,
3:19they don't actually commit to using them
3:22and getting good with them enough.
3:23Like, maybe half your pistol rounds you
3:25do it. Listen, if you're if you are on a
3:27defensive pistol round and you have any
3:29reason to buy a sheriff, just do it,
3:31okay?
3:32You should have as many pistol rounds as
3:34possible with a positional advantage
3:36with your weapon,
3:38and with a weapon advantage, okay? So,
3:39let's look at it while we're in the
3:40game.
3:41Okay, so, let's start with the sheriff,
3:43which is one of the most impactful ones.
3:46How can the sheriff be a weapon-based
3:48win condition on pistol? That's the
3:49question, okay? Let's get right into it.
3:52The number one thing you need to
3:53understand, this is basic, is that
3:55you're looking to double body shot
3:56people. Okay, maybe not at close range
3:58necessarily, but when you're holding an
4:01angle, for the most part, you're looking
4:02to double body shot people in the open.
4:04All right? Now, if I'm holding, you
4:06know, like a one-tap angle where I'm
4:07looking to do this and get off the
4:08angle, then sure, maybe I still hold a
4:09head shot angle.
4:11Or if I think, you know, I need to get
4:12multiple kills, I might go for head
4:13shots.
4:16But,
4:17when you go for body shots, something
4:19unique happens with this gun that is
4:21different than other guns.
4:24It allows you to move at a rapid pace
4:27while not sacrificing your accuracy.
4:30Cuz someone's body is so big. Someone in
4:32chat just said, "My body's big." What?
4:34Now, listen, someone's body is so big
4:36that you can hit every single shot on
4:38it.
4:39So, you can move at your maximum speed
4:41like this, okay? Let's say I get peeked,
4:42okay? We're going to simulate someone
4:43peeking me here. 3 2 1 here.
4:47You see, I just shot three shots dead
4:48accurate at somebody's body. It is
4:50impossible for me, at my skill level, to
4:53aim at somebody's head while shooting
4:54that fast. If I had to aim at somebody's
4:56head, let's say with a Vandal, 3 2 1
4:58peek,
5:00I might miss all three shots. Cuz you
5:01got to remember, they're also moving,
5:02right? They're I don't know how they're
5:03about to move, right? They're also, you
5:05know, moving.
5:07But, the body is so easy to hit that you
5:09actually can just immediately shoot 3 2
5:111 peeks.
5:13You can immediately move, okay? So,
5:15that's something that you need to
5:16understand. You buy the Sheriff with the
5:18intention to hit people in the body, but
5:20you also have the intention to aim fast
5:22while you're shooting at bodies, and you
5:23need to hit your shots. It isn't easy
5:24shot. Do it confidently. There's
5:26something complicated, I'll explain that
5:27in a second.
5:29But, you're also looking to abuse that
5:31fast-paced movement. So, again, you're
5:33shooting fast, you're abusing the
5:34movement, and you're abusing body shots.
5:36That is how you do it. Now, when it
5:37comes to the circumstantial like
5:39manipulation of the round with with the
5:41with the Sheriff, what I mean by that is
5:42like the specific spot that you're in on
5:45on
5:45how are you going to abuse it? Yes,
5:47there is like corner spams like this,
5:48right? You like corner spam.
5:51For example, you can play somewhere like
5:52this and you can get visual on somebody.
5:54You can like jiggle pre-fire here and
5:55then go for the wall bang. So, let's say
5:57I I peek.
5:59I dead zone shoot one bullet at somebody
6:00who swung out of B main. I shoot my
6:02second bullet through the wall, right?
6:03So, it's like let's simulate that
6:05someone's on blue ping 3 2 1 here. Cross
6:07peek. Shoot through the wall. I'm
6:09reading the movement. I'm wall banging
6:10them. So, yes, there is weapon abuse
6:12like this as well.
6:13But, we're not going to dive too deep
6:14into that.
6:16Now, some a small little note here is
6:18that I have coached a lot of lower
6:19ranked players, higher ranked players,
6:20and tier one pro players.
6:23Now, this isn't really a problem with
6:24tier one pro players.
6:25But, I think a lot of people get
6:26confused in the different types of aim.
6:28And I'm not going to dive all the way
6:29into that.
6:30But, there's one thing that ends up
6:31true.
6:32If you go onto an Aim Lab scenario,
6:34okay? And there is a target that's
6:35moving really fast like this, okay? It
6:38is easier to flick onto that target than
6:39it is to track something that's moving
6:41at an inhuman pace in terms of your
6:43ability to react. It's easier to flick
6:45to it, right? If it you
6:47you read its movement and then you hit
6:48that flick.
6:50It's similar to body shots in the game.
6:51You see, it's very difficult to flick
6:53onto somebody's head consistently, but
6:55you can definitely flick onto somebody's
6:56body. So, if you want to minimize the
6:58variance in the way the enemy is moving
7:00against you when you're shooting, you
7:01actually do want to shoot fast. Like you
7:03want to flick fast with the Sheriff.
7:05There's obviously some circumstances
7:06where you have enough time to wait to
7:08aim at somebody's body, okay? But, if I
7:09get caught off guard right here with the
7:11Sheriff, he peeks on my right.
7:13I actually am going to I'm going to
7:15shoot fast and move fast. I'm going to
7:16sacrifice a little bit of accuracy
7:17because it's such an easy shot. And I'm
7:19going to get into my movement
7:20immediately.
7:21But, that's not always the case with the
7:22Vandal.
7:24But, I just wanted to give you that
7:25confidence, okay? That it'll literally
7:26be get a little bit easier to aim at
7:28moving targets when you shoot at them
7:30fast at the body.
7:31Okay?
7:32So, just remember that. You'll You'll
7:34gain confidence. A lot of lower ranked
7:35players don't have the confidence to do
7:37it, but just trust me. Just send it and
7:38get better at it. It'll be better for
7:40your long term.
7:41Now,
7:42what do I mean by a classic as a weapon
7:43base one condition? Well, normally the
7:45classic as a weapon base one condition
7:47is when you need to buy utility or
7:48something, okay?
7:49Now, let's go to attack because, you
7:51know, let's just say.
7:53Actually, no, I want to talk about
7:54something more complicated on defense.
7:56So,
7:58when I am playing with a classic,
8:00I am not always thinking about my
8:01starting position. This is about to get
8:02really complicated, okay? But this is
8:04advanced. I want the people who are
8:05radiant even pro
8:07to be able to learn from this, okay? So,
8:08I apologize if this takes goes over the
8:10head of any of the lower rank players.
8:11But listen,
8:13when I am using the classic, I'm not
8:15just thinking about my first layer of
8:17where I am using the classic. In the
8:19back of my head, there's always a layer
8:20to fall back that has a positional
8:23advantage with the classic.
8:25I need you guys to all understand that.
8:26So, yes, I might shock dart layer one on
8:28a pistol round here and then run back as
8:30an anti-rush protocol.
8:31But now I am playing somewhere that has
8:33some sort of positional advantage with
8:34the classic. Back in the day, you used
8:36to be able to like do this. You used to
8:37like jump right click and it was insane.
8:39It's not as good anymore, right?
8:41But there's two key spots on Ascent, for
8:43example, that I would do. So, I'd start
8:45here, 3 2 1 round starts, I do my shock.
8:47This is part of my anti-rush protocol.
8:48I'd come back to here. I usually would
8:49do a second shock. But at this point, I
8:51can come to here, left right, here,
8:53here, and then now I can go lane. Once
8:55again, I can use this like a shotgun. I
8:57have a positional advantage with the
8:58classic. Bro, if me and you went into a
9:01custom and you guys scaled like this,
9:03you had no armor ghost and you tried to
9:04scale me with the classic like this, I
9:06have the advantage. Not you can't one
9:08tap me, first off, because I have armor.
9:10But I'm also going in and out of the
9:12angle like shooting a shotgun at you.
9:14So, even though the classic is free,
9:15there are easy ways to make positionals
9:18uh positional advantages with it. But in
9:20my mind, I'm not thinking about where
9:21I'm at right now. I'm thinking about
9:22where I'm going to end up. Okay, I need
9:24you guys to all understand that. So, in
9:25the back of my head, I'm like, okay,
9:26yeah, I'm starting here, but where am I
9:27going?
9:28Okay?
9:30And and that's the biggest thing. So,
9:32guys, I need to um I need to restart my
9:34my headset disconnected, so I have to
9:38have to restart the headset here, but
9:39we're we're going to move on.
9:41I think you guys can still hear me,
9:42right? Uh yes, so you can still hear my
9:44mic.
9:45But okay, so those are the weapon-based
9:47winning conditions with the pistols.
9:49Now, the anti-eco Bandit is going to be
9:52a bit different.
9:55So,
9:56the weapon-based winning condition with
9:57the Bandit, I don't want you guys to
9:59worry too much about it, okay?
10:01It really is just a strong gun to buy on
10:03round two. Now, when it comes to buying
10:06a gun on round two anti-eco, or sorry,
10:08eco, apologies, this is for an eco, you
10:10guys have no money.
10:12I want you guys to combine it with a
10:14game read
10:15or a situation that has a high percent
10:17chance of working, okay? Don't just buy
10:18it for the fun of it, all right? But if
10:20you have a Bandit and you're like, you
10:22know what, we have a vice, we have a
10:23vice on B, I'm going to play cat, maybe
10:25I'm going to ask my team like, yo yo,
10:27can you jiggle? Can you jiggle cat? And
10:28then you play this spot with the Bandit,
10:30okay? You go for like a 3K. There's got
10:32to be some sort of thought process
10:34behind what you're doing with it. But,
10:37the reason why I included it is that it
10:39is a one-shot at all these choke points.
10:40If you can find good situations for the
10:42Bandit, you really can multi-frag. And
10:44fun fact, guys,
10:46I decided that I was going to come out
10:49of retirement and play on my Immortal
10:51account
10:52and find you guys and get you guys a
10:54couple clips, okay? So, this might be a
10:56little I don't know how the audio
10:58level's going to be here, but the audio
10:59really doesn't matter, so don't worry
11:00about it.
11:02Let's take a look at this old flopper
11:05use the Bandit here on an eco. So,
11:08let's break this down.
11:12So, something interesting happens. We go
11:14mid here, we're looking for free kills.
11:16But then I sense the re-fight. At this
11:19point in time, not only is my Neon
11:20flanking and I'm waiting for that, but
11:22I'm also sensing, okay, there's a guy in
11:24vent, there's a guy in mail, they're
11:25about to all start something in mid
11:26because they have better guns than us,
11:28they're bullying us, okay? I don't feel
11:29confident that I can hold any of these
11:31angles here. There's a vertical
11:32difference, it's not even a one tap, and
11:34they're going to find out where I'm at.
11:35I'd rather catch them off guard and
11:37punish their over swing. That's my game
11:39read. So, I let them swing right now.
11:43See, here comes the utility and the
11:44swing. I avoided it.
11:46My Neon ends up dying, and then now I
11:49peek and catch them off guard. You can
11:50see I've just caught in three players
11:52off guard because I read their
11:53intentions. Then now look how I move.
11:55Now, my aim's not that good, but look
11:56how I move.
12:00I want you guys to look at the
12:01discipline in the way that I'm moving.
12:04I'm moving at a pure 90° angle to them.
12:06This is a concept that I'm going to
12:07cover later.
12:09And guys, I want to be clear that my
12:11skill level mechanically is like in this
12:13clip is as that of like an Immortal 1.
12:16All right, I know you guys might think,
12:17"Okay, well you play professionally, you
12:18know, like obviously you're going to hit
12:19like more shots than, you know, like a
12:20gold player." But my mechanics did not
12:22carry me here, okay? My intention did.
12:25All right, so watch.
12:27So, I'm here.
12:29Okay, talked about it.
12:30And I go into fight mode, is what I call
12:32it.
12:33I stopped on a dime, and I move left and
12:35right only. Okay? Something complicated
12:37happens here. I whiff, you know, a lot
12:39of good players would have gotten that
12:40third kill, by the way.
12:41I hear the audio cue of someone coming
12:42up the vents right now. We just heard
12:44the rope. So, what do I do? I give up
12:46the fight on this Reyna, okay?
12:48And I take the timing to hold the way
12:50lay in vents. Okay?
12:53So, I need you guys to understand,
12:55whenever you are in the moment and just
12:58purely dedicated to fighting, you're
12:59going to get those free kills. My
13:00ability to read that guy going up the
13:02vent off the audio cue, forgetting about
13:04this guy,
13:05gave me a huge advantage in this whole
13:07situation.
13:09Then I hear this guy here go for the one
13:12tap.
13:14I go for the crouch tap dead zone, okay?
13:17Oh my I mean, this was this is a perfect
13:19example of, you know,
13:21this mechanical concept that we're
13:22covering later in the video, okay?
13:25But this peek on the last guy here,
13:28right here, is what I'm going to teach
13:29you guys all how to do, right here.
13:32I'm going to teach you guys how to do
13:33this dead zone peak
13:35and then step back and still recover. I
13:37mean, this guy was wallbanging with the
13:38Ares here. There's nothing else I could
13:39have done, but I will teach you guys how
13:41to do that, okay?
13:42So,
13:43again, the weapon base one conditions
13:45Listen, I threw the Bandit in there
13:46because it is a really solid weapon base
13:49one condition round two, but just
13:50remember it's also about manipulating
13:52the circumstances.
13:54Okay, anti-eco. I'm not going to spend
13:56as long on the anti-eco weapon base one
13:58conditions, okay? Because I feel like
14:00they're pretty obvious. Everybody here
14:02should understand that on an anti-eco,
14:04the Outlaw, Marshal rifle specifically
14:06on round two is going to be really good.
14:08If you don't understand that, then maybe
14:10like, you know,
14:11start playing the game or something. I
14:12don't know what to tell you.
14:14But,
14:15there is nuance here because there's a
14:16couple things that you need to
14:17understand to make this work.
14:20Okay.
14:21Number one
14:22is that when you buy most of these guns,
14:24it's almost all the same.
14:26Do not end up retake on the shitty site
14:28to retake.
14:29All right.
14:30So, what does that mean? If I am on Jet
14:32on Haven, okay? And the enemy team is
14:37on an eco,
14:38I might play B or garage as a default.
14:41Funny enough, a lot of the best
14:42mechanical players like ranked players
14:43don't end up playing garage and just
14:44fight it head on, which is totally fine.
14:46But, I'm probably going to play mid on
14:48this round, not even just because I can
14:50rotate from it and obviously the fast
14:51rotate is really strong, but I also just
14:53do not I I hate the fact that I might
14:55end up retake somewhere. I don't want to
14:57retake B and I really don't love giving
14:58them garage. So, I almost want to start
15:00here and just face check them. And if
15:02they go C, rotate into C and face check
15:04the garage hook. I don't want to let
15:06them get close to me, okay? But, a lot
15:08of times what I'll see is people buy an
15:10Outlaw and then they'll have three
15:11people A. They'll be three people at A
15:13like this, you know, buying an Outlaw,
15:14you know, the Reyna peaks short like a
15:16flopper.
15:17And then the Clove ends up solo on B.
15:19This guy dies going like one for one,
15:21right? The enemy Jet dies, and then now
15:23you're retake with those guns. Never end
15:25up in that situation, okay?
15:27Don't end up retake. Now, if you are a
15:29site anchor, I don't want you playing B,
15:30okay? I want you playing your bomb site,
15:32obviously. But, I think a lot of people
15:34defensively mess up their anti-ecos. You
15:37should almost look at the mini-map of
15:38where your team is and fill in the gaps
15:39because you do not want to end up
15:41retaking. It happens more frequently
15:42than what you think. The second
15:43deviation that I need you guys to
15:45understand is how to effectively bait
15:46with a rifle, all right? So, I'm going
15:48to simulate an attack round where I buy
15:50a rifle.
15:52So, let's go um
15:55Uh let's just go close.
15:58So, let's say that we're executing A
16:00site,
16:01all right? And I buy a rifle on attack.
16:04And I'm not on In this situation, I
16:05guess I'm on close. Okay, so we take
16:07main control. Let's say we're starting
16:08to run it down. Okay, I'm anti-flashed,
16:09I'm in smoke form, okay? I'm also going
16:11to smoke myself to simulate the enemy
16:12smoke, okay? Just to be clear.
16:15Okay, we're here. My duelist goes in.
16:16Let's Let's pretend my duelist is going
16:17in right now. I'm going to the top of
16:19this smoke looking at my crosshair. As
16:20soon as my duelist is in, I look at my
16:22mini-map, okay? I start to pre-aim if
16:25all of these vision cones are clear. If
16:26my Jet dashed in and all of Dice looks
16:28clear, everything looks clear on my
16:30mini-map, then I'm going to pre-aim the
16:32first contact of the flood
16:34or anyone we see on the mini-map here.
16:35I'm not even going to go in yet, and
16:37then I'm going to peek. 3 2 1, my Jet
16:38dashed in. Okay, there's a Phoenix flash
16:40door, and then I instant trade him.
16:42It's about that pacing. So, in a real
16:44game, it would look like this, okay? So,
16:45we get smoked, I smoke, 3 2 1, okay? I'm
16:47behind my Jet, behind my Jet, 3 2 1, he
16:49dashes in. I look at mini-map, I don't
16:51see anything.
16:52Phoenix shoots out of the door, and then
16:53I peek him, okay?
16:55Have to bait effectively. So, you need
16:57to keep up the pacing with them, match
16:59their energy, but when you find moments
17:00like this to put the brakes on,
17:03understand your situation, and then
17:04situation, and then perfectly peek where
17:06the enemy is coming from. This is how
17:08you avoid getting eco'd. You know, the
17:09worst player here is just going to run
17:11out like this.
17:13Here, run out, right? Get Phoenix
17:15flashed, and then I have to jump back
17:16in. Your teammates die, and now you
17:17can't trade. Okay, you can't be a
17:18burger. You have to read the enemy's
17:20utility and stuff like that. Of course,
17:21that's all a part of game sense, but if
17:23you're going to buy a rifle on round
17:24two, you need to know how to effectively
17:26bait when your teammates are running it
17:27down. And if you don't, then you
17:28shouldn't be buying that gun. Just run
17:29it down with the Spectre or something.
17:33All right, the last one is going to be
17:34the Op, Odin, and Phantom. All right, so
17:37obviously with the Phantom, you're
17:38deviating your gameplay towards spam.
17:40All right, and the in the most simplest
17:42form, for example, if you're on Clove
17:44and you are like playing back site,
17:45okay? You you want to have your smokes
17:48pre-placed
17:49okay, to enable you to spam during the
17:51exit, okay? If you if you just jump spot
17:53with your gun out here, right? And then
17:55you see somebody, and then you smoke,
17:57Jet's already on you, right? Jet's on
17:58you, and you can no longer spam. That's
18:00why you're going to need to you're going
18:02to need to jump spot, right? With your
18:04smoke placed, 3 2 1, I get contact here,
18:07right? And then now I can hold the
18:09choke.
18:10So, if you're going to play to spam, if
18:12you're going to play to cause friction
18:13at the chokes, make sure that you are
18:15ready to shoot your gun when they are
18:17going through this line, when they're in
18:18the front half of your smoke. If you're
18:20not ready to shoot your gun by this
18:22point in time as any character in
18:24Valorant, then you're not going to be
18:25able to hold the choke. So, that means
18:27if you're Sova and you're holding a dart
18:28out like a [ __ ] okay, don't do that.
18:30Contest the choke, assuming that you
18:32have smokes.
18:34And own the spam. If you own the spam
18:36beforehand, that's how you get spam
18:38kills. A lot of people play Clove, they
18:39play smokes, they play all these
18:40characters that are supposed to abuse
18:41the Phantom. They get no spam kills, and
18:43they their bomb sites get ran down too
18:45easy because you're not contesting the
18:47choke fast enough. You're either gun out
18:48here fighting like an idiot and then
18:49smoking like mid site,
18:51or you're going to preemptively smoke
18:53main off of a jiggle,
18:55and then look for the spam kills.
18:57Okay, so that's how you can abuse the
18:59Phantom. With the Op, I think it's
19:00pretty obvious, and guys, with the Odin,
19:03I'm not going to cover the Odin, and I'm
19:04going to tell you why.
19:05In my opinion, if you guys want to be
19:07good Odin player,
19:09it's going going you to you're going to
19:11need to make setups with your teammate
19:13that makes sense for the Odin.
19:16So, what I mean by that is if I am
19:18playing Odin with a Cypher, for example,
19:22I'm going to ask him, "Hey, can you do
19:24the Can you get like the main one-way?"
19:26And then have him do the main one-way,
19:28and then you play stairs off of the
19:29one-way. Then now I can Odin spam
19:31through the one-way. If I am playing
19:33with a Chamber,
19:36then I'm going to say, "Okay, listen.
19:37Can you uh
19:39I I might do like something early early
19:41main with him where I do this, I try to
19:42break util, etc. But eventually, I'm
19:44going to tell him, "Listen, can you play
19:46stairs?"
19:47Or like TP back to stairs. So, this. You
19:50can TP site and then go back to stairs,
19:52whatever. Okay, so like you can test
19:54main with this TP, right? Like walk
19:56around the edge, like shoot your shot,
19:57and then go back to stairs. And the
19:59whole point would be when they speed up
20:00B, you're going to do this start
20:02with the Odin.
20:03Okay, and then now you can Odin spam
20:05everything. This start full pings
20:06everybody walking out, you can spam them
20:08through the wall logs, you can spam them
20:10through this wall, you can spam them
20:11anywhere they get pinged, okay?
20:13So,
20:15in my opinion, making little micro plays
20:16with your teammates is what enables the
20:18Odin cuz otherwise, like dry fights with
20:20the Odin aren't super good in ranked.
20:22They're more They're better in more
20:23controlled situations like pro play.
20:26And I'm a big Odin abuser, by the way.
20:27So, I don't I don't say that lightly.
20:31All right. So,
20:34moving on. Advanced movement tech.
20:39Let's talk about it.
20:40What in tarnation are we talking about
20:43with advanced movement tech?
20:45Let's get right into it.
20:48I'll hop in the range real quick.
21:07All All So, the first thing that you
21:09guys need to do is make sure you have
21:10the shooting graph on in the top right.
21:12The way that you read the shooting graph
21:13is when you're moving and shooting,
21:15the shots are blue at the top, okay?
21:18If you're stopped, the shots are orange,
21:20okay? So, these These shots are
21:22accurate.
21:24These shots are full moving.
21:26These shots
21:28are walk accuracy, okay?
21:30So,
21:32that is how you read the graph.
21:35Now, to practice this mechanic,
21:37you need to understand a couple things
21:39first. Number one is that you can only
21:41dead zone one bullet at a time.
21:44You guys see all those orange shots at
21:46the top? Now, watch what happens when I
21:47shoot two bullets at a time.
21:51It ends up being blue.
21:54You can only dead zone one bullet at a
21:57time consistently, okay? Now,
22:00there is a mechanic in the game that
22:01allows you to dead zone two bullets
22:04while not losing any speed and staying
22:06evasive, all right?
22:07But before I show you that,
22:09I want to show you what everyone
22:10naturally does. Every pro player, they
22:12naturally do this whether they agree
22:13they do it or not, they do.
22:15Is you artificially add a delay to your
22:18bursting. So, everybody look at the top
22:19right. So, obviously when I try to dead
22:20zone burst like this, right? It is
22:22inaccurate.
22:24But how come people, you know, burst
22:26strafe with two shots? That's because
22:27they add an artificial delay, okay? You
22:29might not realize it, but it looks like
22:31this.
22:39So, you see the shots at the top?
22:41I am able to add a small amount of
22:43artificial delay just enough to shoot
22:45two shots. But most people do that
22:47without realizing it, okay?
22:48Most pro players, when they burst,
22:52they don't even think about it, okay?
22:54But I need you to understand that that's
22:55happening so you can understand why the
22:57next thing that I teach you
22:58is effective.
23:00So,
23:01what people have started to do, and
23:03everyone has done the first part of
23:04this, but what people have started to
23:05continue abusing
23:07is a crouch burst.
23:09Where they slow down their movement
23:11speed enough with a crouch while
23:12strafing to the right
23:14that it gets them into
23:17it get it gives them enough room to
23:18shoot two bullets accurately.
23:20This is something that got popular like
23:22the last year.
23:23Um, but
23:25everyone has crouch peeked like this for
23:27all of time, right? Since the beginning
23:28of the game, people will, you know, be
23:30behind a wall
23:32and they'll they'll go like this.
23:34And they'll crouch burst and they'll
23:35shoot two bullets accurate. That's been
23:36a thing since, you know, the first year
23:38of the game. But what people have done
23:40is they've started to do that in normal
23:41gun fights like this.
23:46You might be like, okay, well, why are
23:47they doing it in all these gun fights,
23:49not just when they're peaking, but in
23:50all their gun fights?
23:52There's a couple things that's
23:53happening. Number one is that pro
23:55players and really good players are all
23:56very good aiming horizontally, okay? If
23:59I flash around this corner, look.
24:01I'm going to flick to this guy and then
24:02I'm going to aim horizontally. I'm just
24:04going to adjust onto his head. So, once
24:05again, I fight this teammate over here,
24:06look. I flick over here.
24:08I'm just aiming horizontally.
24:10So, what you're doing is you're
24:11introducing that verticality with the
24:12crouch, and that's going to be more
24:14effective than introducing horizontal
24:16movement. So, you're going to stay alive
24:18more uh in your gun fights. So, that's
24:20number one.
24:22You might think, okay, well, doesn't
24:23that nerf your movement speed? I want
24:25you guys to look at this exact movement
24:27that I do, okay? So, 3 2 1, gun fight
24:29starts. I go down, crouch burst, and I
24:31come back up. I'm going to do it in full
24:32speed, okay? So, look.
24:35I do that. Let's do it accurately
24:36though, okay? Sorry, I was I was looking
24:38at my chat.
24:40Let me make sure I can do it right,
24:41okay? This is hard, okay, guys? And I
24:43haven't played in two weeks or so.
24:45Okay, it looks about like that. That was
24:47a little inaccurate. You guys need to
24:49make sure if you're practicing this, you
24:50can do it accurately, okay? Like that at
24:52the top, that should all be orange. Mine
24:54was blue, so it means I'm not even doing
24:55it right, okay?
24:57I literally like the I guess it was the
24:59second burst that was inaccurate, that's
25:00why. But, regardless, when I do that
25:03movement right there, and remember, if
25:04you guys do this, make sure you train it
25:05up to all orange to do it better than
25:07me.
25:08What's happening is from this point of
25:10view, my head level
25:13is going down into the left and then up
25:15into the right, okay? Almost like this.
25:18Down into the left
25:20and back up into the right. It looks
25:21similar to that.
25:23At no point in time are you stopping.
25:27You're moving the whole time. So, let's
25:29simulate it. I'm here.
25:31Look, I'm not stopping, right?
25:36I'm kind of like messing up right now.
25:38I need to like get into a rhythm real
25:38quick. Hold on. Let me let me practice
25:40this real quick.
25:41All right.
25:42Let me get a feel for it.
25:52Okay. Sorry, I had to get a feel for it.
25:54But, what's happening is I'm going down
25:55like this
25:58and I'm never stopping. I'm just using
26:00the crouch to slow my counter strafe
26:02enough to hit that second shot. So, what
26:04I'm doing by this is number one, I'm
26:06gaining an extra bullet on a pure dead
26:07zone, but I'm also introducing
26:09verticality. What that does is it makes
26:11it effective in all situations, not just
26:13in a situation where you're swinging.
26:15Okay? So, that is the core mechanic. So,
26:18how can you train this? Okay, number
26:19one, come into a custom game.
26:21What I need you to do is you're going to
26:23put It doesn't matter if you put one
26:25bot, 10 bots, it doesn't matter. Just
26:26train the raw mechanic first. Come to
26:28here. You're going to go down to the
26:30right with a crouch like this and just
26:32make sure you can shoot two shots in
26:33that dead zone when you peek it, okay?
26:39Okay, see, there we go. I did four in a
26:41row, sure.
26:42And by the way, all the good players in
26:44this game would be able to do like 100
26:45in a row. I'm a bit of a flopper. So,
26:49get that down first. Then now, do it
26:50twice, okay? So, you're going to go
26:52here.
26:54Yeah, couldn't do it twice.
27:01See, I messed up there.
27:06See, that was a lot better. So, sit
27:08there and practice just like I did where
27:10you kind of worm yourself up to it. At
27:12first, I could only do one, then I had
27:14to start doing it it consecutively,
27:15etc., okay? And just get a feel for it.
27:18You're going to sit here in a custom
27:19game and just practice this. Now,
27:23moving on um from this specific
27:25mechanic,
27:26I want to show you guys what it looks
27:27like
27:29when a good player does it. Again, I
27:30haven't played this game in 2 weeks. So,
27:32let's look
27:33at what
27:35our favorite player here,
27:39Mr. Flopper, uh does in his game. So,
27:40watch.
27:43He smokes.
27:45Okay? He picks this guy.
27:46Crouch burst
27:48and stands back up. Look at the pace
27:50that Jerwin does this, guys. Watch this.
27:53This is full speed.
27:59You guys see that? If he had the
28:00shooting graph on, his first shot here
28:03what was probably inaccurate. But, he is
28:05throwing away his first shot accuracy on
28:07his first burst to get into his
28:09movement. So, he sees this guy, he gets
28:10caught off guard.
28:12Goes down
28:14and steps back up. And that movement is
28:16so hard to hit. It's very fast and very
28:18hard to hit. Watch one more time.
28:24So, these pro players What's up, Oki?
28:26These pro players are very, very fast at
28:29this mechanic. I'm a bit of a flopper.
28:30I'm not that fast. But, if you guys are
28:32looking to like get ahead of the pack
28:34and catch up the people who are radiant
28:36or even better than that, you really got
28:38to get this down. You're going down like
28:39this.
28:41The most important part of this, guys,
28:43is the first shot that you're doing,
28:44okay? You got to do do better than me as
28:45well. It's that first shot. You're going
28:46down like this and standing up. Okay?
28:49You got to make sure that you're you're
28:51good enough to hit this consistently.
28:52Okay?
28:55And then
28:57Okeanos in chat is vouching that King
28:59has the best movement. Yes, bro. King
29:01Bro, King's bursting is insane, bro. No,
29:03King actually does have monster
29:04movement. So, yes, guys. Some of these
29:07players like King and you know, when you
29:09watch their streams and stuff, you can
29:10copy and you can learn a lot from their
29:12movement.
29:13Okay?
29:15So,
29:16moving on.
29:18We'll talk more about this later.
29:20I need you guys to practice that. Pr0Me?
29:22Yeah. Pr0Me, Alam, all these people do
29:25it. Pr0Me doesn't do it as much, but he
29:26does other stuff that's really good.
29:29All right, pacing and punishment. Okay,
29:31number one, I'm going to teach you guys
29:33how to deviate your pacing as a scaler
29:35to gain a micro advantage.
29:39All right, now what in the world could
29:41that possibly mean? All right?
29:43How to deviate your pacing as a scaler
29:47to create a micro advantage.
29:49Let's watch, once again,
29:52let's watch our boy here. Okay?
29:54So, I want you to watch this
29:55circumstance. Derwin is scaling into the
29:57bomb site right now. All right?
29:59He's throwing util, okay? He's throwing
30:00util.
30:01Look at his mini map. But then what what
30:03does he do here? Look.
30:05He sees an Omen blind.
30:07That Omen blind is going to give him
30:09that suggestion in his head, "Hey,
30:11they're going to try to flood lane."
30:13Teammates are hit. So, he stops moving
30:14forward. Even though he is technically a
30:16site scaler, he stops his forward
30:18progress.
30:20He anticipates the peek. He's holding
30:22for it.
30:23And he punishes the Sage. He has no
30:26intention to make forward progress. All
30:28right?
30:29He switched on a on the fly because of
30:32what the enemy was showing.
30:34This is a very important skill to have
30:35for ranked and for pro play.
30:38I'm going to show you guys another
30:40example of this, as well.
30:43Let's watch it again.
30:50So, you can see he's scaling. He's hard
30:51scaling, right? He's hard scaling. Hard
30:53scaling, sure. But then he puts the
30:55brakes on.
30:56Right now, he is countering three
30:57things, okay? Number one is anyone who's
31:00mid site pillar swinging to the right,
31:02he's looking to punish them. Number two,
31:04anyone who comes out of CT to flood,
31:06he's going to micro adjust and he's
31:07going to be ready to punish them. Number
31:08three, he's ready to fight like the
31:10somebody who's going to come out of this
31:11side of the market smoke like normal
31:12people would.
31:14And he just sits here.
31:16And he just sits here.
31:20And look at how patient he is. Let's go
31:22back to what this exact actually looked
31:23like. Do your guys' demos look like
31:25this? Probably not, okay? Watch. He runs
31:28in. He's running down, running down, and
31:31then the brakes are on. Listen, guys.
31:33Understanding moments where you need to
31:34put the [ __ ] brakes on versus when
31:36you need to scale, it's one of the
31:38biggest skill gaps. You guys might not
31:39think this is mechanical, but if
31:41somebody if if Gerwyn continued to scale
31:44into this bomb site here, if he
31:45continued to run forward right now, and
31:47he ran forward into this timing peak,
31:50then he would lose the fight, right? If
31:52the enemy was mid pillar and crouch
31:54peeked out of timing with proper
31:55intention versus Gerwyn who's going
31:58straight at him, then Gerwyn would lose
31:59the fight.
32:01Gerwyn knows that. So, instead of
32:03forcing himself, he decides, "Okay, it's
32:05more likely that I'm going to get timing
32:07peeked. My role in this round is to play
32:09anti-refrag." So, then he just sits
32:11here, and then now he's going to be able
32:13to have optimal movement into this
32:15fight, optimal aim, and he's going to
32:16get his first shot off, okay? Now, I'm
32:18going to explain a very difficult thing
32:21to comprehend, an interaction that's
32:22very challenging to comprehend for those
32:24who are probably lower ranked.
32:26We're going to talk about it.
32:28Right? This is something that I've
32:29taught multiple tier one pro players
32:30that I've coached, okay? Well, okay,
32:33only one tier one pro player, a couple
32:34tier two players.
32:36So, look.
32:38In a gunfight timeline, this is the
32:40simplest way to put it. In a gunfight
32:42timeline, if this if this is a timeline
32:45here, we're going to have event number
32:47one. So, right here is going to be see
32:49when we get visual contact, okay? We get
32:51visual contact at the enemy.
32:53You can assume that after visual
32:55contact, it takes you let's say
32:58let's say it takes you 200 ms
33:02to stop, okay?
33:04So, this is where you stop.
33:07There's going to
33:08uh Valorant's [ __ ] cursor like is is
33:10not accurate. Hold on. I zoomed in like
33:12a chad. So, let's say this is when you
33:13stop, okay? So, this would be when you
33:15shoot. So, you stop and then you shoot
33:18subsequently after.
33:20The best players do two things to this
33:22timeline. And I understand this is
33:24getting complicated, okay? But you have
33:25the visual confirmation of the target
33:26here, then you have your you stop your
33:28movement because you're scaling, and
33:29then you shoot.
33:31Good players do two things to manipulate
33:34this timeline into their favor. The
33:35black is hard to see. Let's replace that
33:37with blue. Okay.
33:39That's when we shoot.
33:41Number one, the first thing that tier
33:43one pro players will naturally do
33:45without even realizing it to manipulate
33:47this is instead of going off of a visual
33:50contact to change their stopping point,
33:52cuz again, we're getting rid of this 200
33:53ms delay, they're going to anticipate
33:56the contact, okay? So, we're going to
33:57remove all this.
33:59So, what pro players will do is they
34:01will pick a point in time
34:03like here
34:04where they anticipate contact. And they
34:06can get really [ __ ] good at it. And
34:08the whole point is they're actually
34:10going to begin their stop, right? It
34:11takes 200 ms to stop.
34:14They're actually they're going to
34:15anticipate Oh my god. Anticipate the
34:17contact at this point. So, they're going
34:19to prepare their stop 200 ms earlier in
34:21the gunfight. That way they're stopping
34:23on the anticipated contact point.
34:25Okay? And then subsequently, they shoot
34:27here.
34:28Sorry, I'll draw it in blue.
34:30So, in in turn,
34:32right? They're actually going to shoot
34:34200 milliseconds faster because they
34:36narrowed down the timing of when they're
34:38going to intercept you to that margin.
34:41I understand this is complicated, but
34:43this is why players are able to get into
34:45their movement and anticipate points of
34:46contact. Jerwin is doing something
34:48adjacent here where anytime that he is
34:51scaling, he is anticipating contact. He
34:53is removing that stopping time, putting
34:55the brakes on, and at the minimum, okay?
34:58He's going to stop scaling to remove
34:59that stopping time. But at the maximum,
35:03okay? Let's talk about what it looks
35:05like in the prime to anticipate a point
35:08of contact, okay? Let's watch the
35:09situation here.
35:11So, we don't see his mini-map.
35:12Okay.
35:14So, Jerwin doesn't know exactly where
35:16this guy is. If he just rage swung to
35:18the right and and faced all of CT in the
35:20open,
35:21it'd be hard to win this duel. So, look
35:22what he does.
35:23He He anticipated the contact. He was
35:25wrong, okay? But you Did you guys see
35:27how he anticipated the enemy to be right
35:29here? He squared up to it, crouch peeked
35:31it, and he was ready to go. You can see
35:33his like mouse a little a jitter. But
35:35then now, he gets a secondary contact on
35:37the left side CT. So, in his head, he
35:39knows exactly where he's at.
35:42So, then he stops on a dime
35:44and look how he shoots before this age.
35:46Watch.
35:47So, he sees this.
35:50He was wrong. Now, he's going to look
35:51left side CT.
35:54And look how fast he shoots.
35:55That sage doesn't even know what the
35:57[ __ ] is going on yet.
35:59And Jerwin is already shooting, okay?
36:01So, I need you guys to understand that
36:04manipulating that timeline is a massive
36:06skill set. So, whether it's when you're
36:08scaling, you need to put the brakes on,
36:10then you're going to start shooting
36:11faster, and you're going to get into
36:12your movement more, die less, etc. But
36:14if you want to peek somebody, you need
36:16to anticipate the point of contact. You
36:18can't just wait forever, all right?
36:20So, he gets this kill here. Let's watch.
36:22He's doing the same thing here.
36:25Again, look how hard he's going off the
36:27audio cue here,
36:28And again, there's multiple different
36:29ways to do it.
36:31Watch. He He hears the audio and the
36:33ping here. He goes wide, but then like
36:35he He stops before he sees the jet.
36:37Watch this again. I understand that this
36:39is such a small thing, but you guys
36:40really have to tap in if you want to
36:41learn about this game, okay? You really
36:43got to watch this. This is off audio off
36:45of his game sense, like Fallen said. He
36:47is race swinging all into right here. He
36:49stopped before the jet peeked. And this
36:52is normal. I do this as well.
36:54But all of you guys who are low rank,
36:55when players are overheating like
36:57Jerwin, okay? You guys overheat in your
36:59ranked games, and you just throw. You're
37:01just peeking like an idiot. Jerwin is
37:03reading every single every single
37:05detail, the audio queue, okay? The
37:07timing of what makes sense off their
37:08utility, okay? He's reading all those
37:11circumstances, and he's anticipating
37:13when he needs to stop. He's not stopping
37:15when he sees jet. He stops when he
37:17thinks jet is going to start peaking.
37:19And then now,
37:21he kills jet. And he creates something
37:23that I want to call a micro advantage.
37:25So even though Jerwin in this case is
37:28overheating, he created an advantage for
37:30himself in this gunfight. That's what
37:32you guys need to learn how to do.
37:34All right.
37:35Let's carry on now.
37:37From
37:38from that point. All right.
37:40So that is how you can deviate your
37:42pacing as a skyler and on attack and in
37:44other situations to gain a micro
37:46advantage.
37:47Number two. How can you punish the
37:49enemy's pacing?
37:51Okay. Well, what if the enemy
37:53doesn't know ball?
37:55Like all of your ranked games are going
37:56to be. And they're just idiots, okay?
37:58There are some easy counters
38:00to punish enemies
38:02who go at that fast pace.
38:04Number one.
38:06If they are running it down garage and
38:08stampeding, then you're going to go for
38:12We're going to call I don't know what
38:13you want to call it, but I'm going to
38:13call it like a one-tap peek, okay? So
38:15you're just going to hold the angle.
38:18I'm going to call this
38:20Actually, I'll explain this in in its
38:21full.
38:22In the chaos,
38:24when it's unlikely that they're going to
38:26stop on a dime, so during a stampede of
38:28Phoenix alt, etc., you are going to have
38:31an opportunity to hold angles and get
38:33away with your life.
38:36Okay? So, because they are running it
38:38down garage as a squad and they're
38:39sprinting, you're going to have an
38:41opportunity to hold this angle with good
38:42crosshair placement, shoot your gun, and
38:44get away because they're not
38:45preemptively stopping.
38:47Now, if we challenge that situation
38:50and we say, "Okay, what if they're
38:51contacting garage?" If they're
38:53contacting garage,
38:54then it's not in your best interest at
38:56all to hold this angle for one tap. You
38:58want to know why? Because Prime Luxxut
39:00is going to have He's going to have
39:01cleared all of these angles. He's going
39:03to have cleared this angle. And then
39:04now, he's going to daddy peek the right
39:07side of garage. And before you're able
39:09to to move, he's going to kill you.
39:12Even if you have an op, he might kill
39:13you here.
39:15So, you need to understand that when
39:17they're running it down, yes, you are
39:18looking to find that timing to hold an
39:20angle and punish them before their util.
39:22Absolutely, okay? But when they're
39:23contacting, that's not the case. If the
39:25other team is contacting,
39:27then
39:28that's a whole different story. Let's
39:30say Let's LARP, okay? Let's say that
39:32we're playing against Luxxut and Summit
39:33because Loud's really good at Summit.
39:35Let's use a complicated like tier one
39:37level example. Pro play champs level
39:39example, okay? No, we're not talking
39:40about ranked anymore.
39:43Let's say that Luxxut is contacting mid.
39:49Let's say that Luxxut was to just
39:50contact peeking mid. Well, here's a
39:53really good play that you can do, okay?
39:54So, let's assume that you have a
39:55Chamber.
39:56You'd put your smoke here.
39:58So, let's put
40:02It doesn't have to be your smoke, but I
40:03guess I was thinking for ranked. Let's
40:04just say it's your Sova. Actually, no,
40:06[ __ ] that. We'll We'll do a different
40:07setup. So, in this case, it'll be your
40:09It'll be your omen. What he's going to
40:10do is he's going to break the door,
40:12okay? And then he is going to hold the
40:14right side of mid like this, okay? Cuz
40:16this is a way easier angle to hold. He's
40:18going to hold the right side of mid.
40:19Chamber is going to drop down
40:20immediately below window, and he's going
40:23to hold this flat angle like this, okay?
40:25And then his whole goal
40:27is he's going to anticipate that Lux
40:30takes the timing out of mid off the jump
40:32spot, and then he's going to peek
40:34to the right
40:35into top mid at a delayed timing
40:38like this.
40:40So, instead of letting Lux walk into
40:42you,
40:43you're going to let him jump spot, let
40:44him peek,
40:46play on the off angle, and then peek
40:47into him out of timing,
40:49and kill him.
40:51That is how you would kill counter like
40:52an aggressive mid lurker, okay?
40:54Something along those lines. Let's talk
40:56about it on the example of A main, okay?
40:59What if there just Or sorry, B main.
41:01Let's say that they're contacting B
41:02main, okay? What can I do? They're
41:04They're threatening the Fade prowler,
41:05right? So, our Chamber line can get
41:07burned. They're threatening all this
41:08utility. So, what can we possibly do to
41:10counter him?
41:12All right.
41:13Let's pretend that he's getting a dog
41:15here, and he's getting main control. So,
41:16let's assume the prowler clears, and
41:18he's getting posted with a teleport.
41:19This is what happens in this pro play. I
41:21I don't know if his teleport's like deep
41:22or not. I don't really know.
41:25This really doesn't matter, right? So,
41:26it's probably just here. I don't know.
41:28But,
41:29let's say that he's getting posted here.
41:30How can we counter somebody who's just
41:33rage contacting this, and he is playing
41:35anti-flash sometime? What can we do
41:36against a guy who's just contacting this
41:38over and over and over again, okay?
41:41This is more complicated, but you've got
41:43to sell this guy the story that he
41:46already wants to believe.
41:47Okay?
41:48So,
41:50if you are playing a Cypher comp, all
41:52right? What you're going to want to do
41:54is you're going to want to late place
41:55your cage. As soon as the round starts,
41:57late place your cage, and give an audio
41:59cue jumping to here. All right? Give the
42:02late place your cage, jump to here,
42:04place your camera, all right? What
42:05you're going to do is you're going to
42:06have your operator dice, okay? And then
42:08you're going to audibly jump spot this.
42:10Jump spot, jump spot, jump spot, and
42:12then start jump spotting.
42:14Give the audio cue. Give the audio cue
42:16that you've been jump spotting this
42:17whole time. Give it. And then you get on
42:19your camera. Don't jump spot long enough
42:21to get up cuz he'll up you off your jump
42:22spot. You're not actually jump spotting
42:24me. You're jump spotting to give him the
42:26audio cue. That's the safer setup. Then
42:27you're getting on your camera. And then
42:28you guys know what you're going to do
42:29off the camera?
42:31You're going to peek off the camera,
42:32right? Bang.
42:34Dead.
42:35So,
42:37this is how you got to in pro play
42:39adjacent. This is how you would counter
42:40somebody contacting, okay? So, you got
42:42to manipulate them a little bit and find
42:43the timing to peek them and punish them.
42:45There are other ways to punish in pro
42:46play, but
42:48for all our all intents and purposes,
42:50these are the sort of counters that you
42:51need. The problem is when you face Maine
42:53and you do all these, it makes it
42:54obvious. He's not going to fall for that
42:56stuff.
42:57Now, let's go back here, okay?
43:00So, we talked about how you can punish
43:01fast scalers in ranked by holding the
43:02angle and, you know, going for the one
43:04tap and getting out. We talked about how
43:05you can punish um the contact with off
43:08angles and we talked about how you can
43:09actually manipulate the situations at a
43:11more advanced level in pro play
43:13to punish the enemies contact.
43:15But, let's move on from here,
43:17okay?
43:19We're going to talk about how to perform
43:21at your optimal mechanical level,
43:23right? And the first thing that you guys
43:26need to understand is that you need to
43:28understand how to go into fight mode.
43:30Now, what is fight mode?
43:31Fight mode is a state of mind that you
43:34personally get into where you decide
43:36that I'm no longer going to communicate
43:38for the most part. I am no longer going
43:41to give a [ __ ] about the round. I'm not
43:42playing the round advantage anymore. I'm
43:44not playing to communicate anymore. I'm
43:46putting my hands up and I'm going to
43:48start swinging, okay?
43:51This will allow you to fight with a
43:53level of intention
43:55that's optimal for your own movement and
43:57mechanical purposes. I need you guys to
43:59understand something right now,
43:59especially if you are a pro player or
44:01you're aspiring to be a pro player.
44:04You cannot play for the round if you're
44:06going to do this. That doesn't exist.
44:07Those two thoughts do not align. And if
44:10you don't comprehend that, I could break
44:11it down to you in a private call if
44:13you're seriously curious, okay? But they
44:15do not align. If you are trying to play
44:17for the man advantage or anything like
44:18that, you cannot truly ever get into
44:19fight mode.
44:21Fight mode is when you're here and
44:23you're doing whatever possible to get a
44:25high percent chance of a kill. You might
44:26try to catch him off guard with an over
44:28peek. Might try to crouch peek. You
44:29might try to throw a jet smoke and peek
44:31before it blooms. You're going to do
44:32some [ __ ] in a primed up mechanical
44:35state that has nothing to do with what
44:36the right play is in the round.
44:39But because of how dedicated you are to
44:41it and because you're willing to accept
44:43that you might die doing it, it gives
44:45you freedom. Freedom to over peek, you
44:47know, triple re-swing and you know,
44:49perfectly read their movement. Focus
44:51your energy purely on the gun fight,
44:53okay? So, let's take a look at what
44:56going into fight mode looks like, okay?
44:59in this game.
45:03I want you to look at Jervon's like
45:04mental state here, okay? So, he goes up
45:06lane.
45:07Okay, he's going for his peek. See, he
45:08crouch peeks this.
45:10And then now he's in fight mode, okay?
45:12I need you guys to understand that
45:14right now, he is not thinking about
45:16playing 4 v 2. That's not in his mind.
45:18He's not thinking about any of those
45:19things.
45:20He's on an off angle and he is going to
45:23commit his life
45:24to get into an optimal mechanical state.
45:28He's here. He's not looking to peek off
45:30you, too. He's not even He's not trying
45:31to comment anything like, "Oh, I'm
45:32pushing this." No. He's holding,
45:34holding, holding forever.
45:38And then this guy gets deleted, okay?
45:40So,
45:41I know this might seem like a simple
45:43thing to you guys, but pro players right
45:45now in this current meta, we're talking
45:46about championship level pro players are
45:48making this mistake.
45:50To some extent, you have to give your
45:51players this freedom. If you do not give
45:53your players this individual freedom in
45:56the current meta, then in pro play, you
45:58lose information. You lose the contact
46:00fights. You give them all the map
46:02control for free, you let people like
46:03Lux you walk around and take everything
46:05from you. You cannot let them disrespect
46:07you. So, you have to be willing to do
46:09stuff like this as a solo player on a
46:10bomb site or in a 4v2. It's the same
46:13It's the same as same. Whatever.
46:15So,
46:16why does getting Why does getting into
46:18fight mode matter? Okay? The reason why
46:20I mentioned it is because
46:22in a less extreme version, you're going
46:24to enter fight mode all the time. It
46:26might be a post play. You might be on
46:27clove. You might have planted the bomb
46:29here and then you now all of a sudden
46:30you drop smokes and right and you're
46:31stuck in this corner, okay? You need to
46:33stop thinking about what's optimal.
46:36Right? You might need to Let's say you
46:37get out of this corner and let's say
46:38like the drop gets molly'd or something,
46:39right? Let's say your guy your your
46:40Phoenix like molly's drop. You need to
46:42get out of this corner, stop thinking
46:43about your team, and just fight your way
46:45out. Instead of you know, instead of
46:47playing the round properly, fight your
46:48way out of the situation. Potentially,
46:49just kill some guy on this angle here.
46:51Fight your way out, right? And then have
46:53perfect movement doing so.
46:56And that is how you can have
46:58you know, proper mechanics. A lot of you
47:00guys, and we'll talk more about this. A
47:01lot of you guys probably are good in
47:03deathmatch, right? You're able to have
47:04good movement in deathmatch. You're able
47:06to have good pre-aims in deathmatch.
47:08When you get into the game, it's
47:09problematic.
47:11There's a combination of issues that
47:12we've covered today that can solve all
47:14of it, okay?
47:16When you are in deathmatch, you're in a
47:17primed up mechanical state.
47:20You need to simulate that in a real
47:21game. But, the only way you can simulate
47:23that is being willing to risk your life.
47:25If you were on triple here and the
47:26enemies are scaling like this, bro, peek
47:29with some intention. Peek with
47:31Die for this peek, bro. Peek it with the
47:33intention to die. It's okay.
47:36Like if that's your decision, that's
47:37your decision. But, you're never going
47:39to be at your optimal mechanical level
47:41if you're just stuck in this corner.
47:42Like, "Oh my god, I'm scared. I'm
47:42scared. I'm scared. I'm scared." Yeah.
47:44Bursting doesn't matter, obviously,
47:45okay? You know, bursting doesn't matter,
47:47crouch bursting doesn't matter, cross
47:49None of this [ __ ] matters anymore if
47:50you're just going to be scared and hide
47:51in the corner. You're not ever going to
47:53get an opportunity.
47:55So, I need you guys to understand that
47:56you have to enter fight mode sometimes.
47:58Sometimes it's when you're overheating,
47:59sometimes it's when you're on a bomb
48:00site, sometimes it's when you're
48:01anchoring a bomb site, but you need to
48:03enter that state where you stop thinking
48:05about the game and just start shooting,
48:06okay?
48:09All right.
48:10Next, point of contact. We talked about
48:12the point of contact already, okay? And
48:14we talked about how to create those
48:15micro advantages, all right?
48:18Listen, what we're going to do here,
48:20we're not going to go over the drills,
48:21we don't have time, okay? I want to wrap
48:22this up. Okay? But what we're going to
48:25do instead, I'm going to show you a
48:26couple more rounds with Gerwin and then
48:27we're going to wrap this up. So, one
48:29thing that we didn't cover today,
48:31I want you to look at how aware Gerwin
48:34is in this fight. And guys, I used one
48:35VOD on purpose, and if you notice, it's
48:381-day-old. I used one VOD on purpose
48:40because I don't want you guys to think
48:42that I am nitpicking from, you know, a
48:44large group of games. These are concepts
48:46that are applied to every single game,
48:48okay? That's why I used all one VOD just
48:50to prove that.
48:52I want you to look at how aware Gerwin
48:54is of the danger.
48:58So, he hears one.
48:59So, this must have been a fake or
49:01something. He calls that they're off
49:02beat, okay? So now, in his head, right?
49:05He knows that somebody could flood
49:06market. He gets caught off guard, he
49:07kills him, okay?
49:08But now, the question is, guys,
49:11where's the danger, okay? Where's the
49:13danger right now? Tell me. All right, if
49:15the if we're market, okay?
49:18Where's Clove at?
49:21Why am I doing this map? I'm such a
49:23chad.
49:24If we are market right now, and we have
49:26this smoked and this smoked, and they're
49:28playing CT,
49:29where's the danger? You can't see the
49:30mini map, I can't either, but I can
49:31still tell. Cuz he said site is clear,
49:34all right? The next The next danger is
49:36this or this, okay? Look how fast Gerwin
49:41immediately realizes that, okay?
49:44He's already Before he even gets out of
49:46the choke, he's already pre-aiming the
49:47peek out of CT and anticipating the
49:49Cypher flood.
49:51Okay?
49:52Cuz he knows that the CT was clear. Look
49:54at how fast he recognizes this. Watch.
49:57Smoke gets caught off guard, okay? And
49:59then now he's already priming it. Right
50:00now in his mind, it's already processed.
50:02The next point of danger is that CT
50:04flood. Every movement that he makes,
50:06crosshair placement, crouch, everything
50:08that he does is going to counter this CT
50:10flood.
50:11And in all of my coaching clients, even
50:13Radiant, bro, I swear to god, even in
50:14the $600 Radiant, all right, I'm
50:16watching these people
50:18and they have this problem.
50:20Your thought process can't be lagging,
50:22okay? You have to know where the danger
50:24is. Everybody answer the question, okay?
50:26Look, if you are entering on Lotus,
50:27okay? And you're running it down C, and
50:29the Chamber TPs away, okay? He's off
50:32mount and he TPs away. Where's the
50:34danger, okay? The danger, I mean, maybe
50:37you're jet's entering site,
50:39your the danger is going to be this
50:40flood, right? This flood is the danger.
50:43So, every decision that you make as a
50:45player has to counter that. If we apply
50:47the same logic to any map in Valorant,
50:50it's the same [ __ ] thing, guys, okay?
50:52If we go to Corrode,
50:54all right? And we we scale into B, all
50:57right? If I jet dash into B, okay? And I
50:59end up here, all right? And I I somehow
51:01I I jet dash in and then now I'm scaling
51:03into here, all right? The site anchor's
51:05right here.
51:06And I make the decision that hey, oh,
51:07I'm going to start wrapping the site
51:08anchor. No, why would you wrap the site
51:10anchor? Because the first timing rotate
51:13is always coming from here. This is
51:15number one priority in this round
51:17circumstance, right? So, you've got to
51:18put the brakes on, stop in that moment,
51:21and punish the scaling.
51:23You have to immediately
51:25you have to immediately recognize where
51:28the danger is and every mechanical step
51:30that you take,
51:31every crosshair placement, every
51:33decision, positioning, everything needs
51:35to counter
51:37each point of danger.
51:39The easiest way for you to visualize
51:40this, if you guys all want to like leak
51:42into my brain and how I understand this
51:43game after coaching a thousand people,
51:45right? All at all levels, including tier
51:47one, right? How have I thought about
51:49this game to like iron this stuff out in
51:50my brain, okay? Instead of thinking
51:52about this bomb site as all red,
51:54a lot of you guys do this naturally
51:56when it gets chaotic, okay?
51:58That can't be it. Instead, I want you to
52:00I want you to understand this.
52:02In this circumstance, this rotate is
52:05red.
52:06This rotate is red.
52:08And then this player, wherever he may
52:10be,
52:11he is red, okay?
52:12And then everything else, I don't play
52:14for
52:15it should be covered by utility or we
52:17have to trade it.
52:18Okay? So, number one, deal with the
52:20entry. Number two, deal with the first
52:21timing flood. That's what you're playing
52:23for 100% of the time.
52:25All right? And as you get more advanced
52:27in a pro play, if you're B X X or
52:29telegraph, then you might anticipate
52:31like a bait setup. Then yeah, if you're
52:33against like a certain team, then I
52:34might anticipate, you know, a double
52:35bait setup in a pro play. I would clear
52:37this based on the game state. So, if you
52:38have like the gimmick viper wall, okay?
52:41So,
52:42this is the sort of stuff um that you
52:44need to practice. Now,
52:46it's 4:00. Listen, guys,
52:48I appreciate all you guys for coming. Um
52:50if you guys are interested in purchasing

53:35Peace.
53:41All right, for those of you in the
53:42seminar,
53:43um
