0:00you sit down ready to play no ready to
0:03practice you've been on a mission for
0:06weeks now determined to climb to the
0:09next rank and the only thing that's in
0:11your way is a bit of personal
0:13improvement you start by playing match
0:16after match having good games in bad but
0:19knowing all the while that it's all part
0:22of the process and then out of a desire
0:25for a break you head over to twitch
0:26where your favorite pro player is live
0:28you watch him closely and notice the
0:31very different strategies in playstyles
0:34that he uses it's entertaining and a
0:37little inspiring and it's not long
0:39before you're motivated to hop back into
0:41the game yourself and this motivation
0:44then carries you on and brings you
0:46through a few more hours of gaming
0:48before things start to slip you lose one
0:51match then the next in now you're
0:54feeling frustrated wondering what the
0:56hell am I doing wrong but you can sole
0:59this frustration by watching gameplay
1:01from high level players and even
1:03skimming through some tips and tricks
1:05videos you eventually hop back into the
1:07game yourself grind out a few more hours
1:10and then finally log off and at the end
1:12of it all you look back on the day and
1:14tell yourself that it was a full
1:16well-rounded day of gaining new
1:19experiences and learning from the pros
1:21but despite all this experience and all
1:25the lessons that you gathered throughout
1:27the day you wake up the next day only to
1:30remember one or two small tips it's as
1:33if your mind has been wiped clean and
1:36most of the experiences just never
1:38happened but you don't think much of it
1:40you enter the next day to do it all over
1:43again and then the cycle continues for
1:46weeks while you seem to be stuck at the
1:48same skill level and eventually you feel
1:51less and less confident you notice that
1:54your friends are getting better but
1:55despite your effort you feel like you're
1:58almost getting worse and this is a
2:00perfect example of putting in a ton of
2:03effort to improve yet retaining very
2:07little and what's so scary about this
2:09scenario is that it often happens
2:12without us even notice
2:13we go through a day of intense gaming
2:15and gather tons of nuance lessons and
2:18keys for improvements yet we retain very
2:22little but imagine if we could just
2:25absorb more information and and learn
2:28and develop at a faster rate because if
2:31you could retain more information and
2:33learn at a faster rate you develop a
2:36genius level of game sense in a pro
2:39level of understanding for the game you
2:43would finally be able to out think
2:45nearly any opponents and push through to
2:47that higher skill level so the only
2:49question that exists is how exactly do
2:53we make that happen
2:54[Music]
2:58it's no secret that pro level players
3:01have some sort of superhuman
3:03understanding of the game and this is
3:05often referred to as instinct or game
3:08sense and this is more or less just an
3:11abundance of game knowledge and lessons
3:14from past experiences which are all
3:17wrapped into a bundle of information and
3:19that bundle of information is then used
3:21to make complex decisions and mental
3:24calculations and execute highlight
3:26worthy plays now of course when you
3:28backwards engineer this you realize that
3:30developing a pro-level game sense is
3:33really just a matter of absorbing all
3:35that game knowledge and experience and
3:37of course in order to do that all you
3:40really need to do is watch guides and
3:42tips and tricks videos study gameplay
3:45from pro players and then constantly
3:47grind out games to gain your own
3:49experience but you likely know that
3:52already so maybe you watch pro players
3:54you study the latest strategies and you
3:57put in the time needed to improve but
4:00still you might find yourself making
4:03careless mistakes that you know you've
4:05made before or completely forgetting
4:08most of the game knowledge that you've
4:09learned in the past and retaining only
4:11small bits of information after watching
4:14hours of pro footage and this leaves the
4:16question why is it so difficult to
4:19retain this information and is it
4:21possible to absorb knowledge easier so
4:24that we can improve faster
4:26well to answer these questions we need
4:29to first understand how you learn and
4:31how your memory works now the memory is
4:35often thought of like a computer that
4:38takes in information and then stores it
4:41in your long-term memory which is sort
4:43of like your database but in order for
4:46you to gain new knowledge your brain
4:48must go through the steps of absorbing
4:50and encoding sensory information
4:53processing it in your working memory and
4:55only then storing it in the long term
4:58memory in other words in order to store
5:01that information in your mental database
5:03it needs to be filtered and processed
5:06now the key factor for this is your
5:09working memory the working memory is
5:11what's responsible for processing new
5:14information comparing it and mixing it
5:17with information that you already know
5:19and then using this cocktail of
5:21information to make decisions recognize
5:23patterns and most importantly store new
5:27information in your mental database but
5:30here's the issue your working memory is
5:33limited on average we can only hold two
5:36to four chunks of information in the
5:39working memory at a time and those two
5:41to four chunks of information are only
5:44really held there for about 10 to 20
5:46seconds unless we do something with it
5:48like process it write it down or apply
5:51it to something and these limitations
5:53create bottlenecks in the learning
5:55process because if we don't actively
5:58rehearse and process new information for
6:01an extended amount of time that
6:04information will never get sent to your
6:06long-term memory it'll just disappear
6:08and of course in our day-to-day lives
6:11and even in our gaming matches we are
6:14bombarded with a downpour of information
6:17and since the working memory can only
6:19hold a few slots of information every
6:21time we switch our focus or need to take
6:24in new data the short-term memory
6:27basically hits the reset button to make
6:29room meaning that we are deleting the
6:31information before it's ever processed
6:34or absorbed
6:35and this is why you feel so limited as a
6:38player you might watch pro players in
6:41pro games and feel like you've learned
6:42something but then fail to actually make
6:45any changes you might be constantly
6:47grinding out games but not learning any
6:50clear lessons and perhaps you're
6:52watching youtube guides but then if
6:55asked to recite all the tips and tricks
6:56the next day you probably draw a blank
6:59and the reason this all happens is
7:01simply because your brain couldn't
7:03process the key information quickly or
7:06efficiently and as a result it was never
7:09absorbed so your memory is very limited
7:14and flawed but just because of that
7:16doesn't mean that it's not powerful
7:19because when you're working memory is
7:21successful it effectively organizes tons
7:24of information into complex patterns
7:27called schemas and schemas allow us to
7:31learn faster because when you develop an
7:34understanding for something your brain
7:35essentially creates a new network a new
7:38web of information and the more webs of
7:41information we have the easier it
7:43becomes to connect a new network to ones
7:46that already exist thus the more schemas
7:48we develop the easier and faster becomes
7:52to develop our game sense so if we can
7:55effectively improve the working memory
7:57and our ability to get information into
7:59the long-term memory we will improve our
8:02knowledge and skill at an increasing
8:05velocity so how do we unlock our brain's
8:09ability to learn at such a fast rate how
8:12do we nurture the information in our
8:14working memory so that it can be
8:16processed and encoded into the long-term
8:19memory
8:20well while there are many advanced
8:22learning techniques that are out there
8:24I've taken some of the easiest yet most
8:27powerful ones and created a five-step
8:30process the first step is to address the
8:33limitations of the working memory since
8:36the working memory is limited in
8:38capacity we need to slow things down the
8:41surplus of information that we need to
8:43process during any game is just too much
8:47it makes it difficult to take
8:49way any clear lessons and this is why
8:52professional players review their
8:54matches when you are reviewing your
8:56match you're able to slow down the game
8:58highlight key plays and actively gather
9:01key lessons at a pace which your brain
9:03can learn similarly if you're trying to
9:06gain new information while watching a
9:08guide on YouTube or watching a pro
9:11stream actively pause the video when you
9:14discover something important slow it
9:16down
9:17give yourself time to ponder one or two
9:19piece of information at a time these by
9:22giving yourself this extra time to stop
9:25and think your brain won't actively
9:28delete the information like it would
9:30otherwise you'll finally have the
9:33opportunity to store it in the long-term
9:35memory
9:36but once you've slowed things down and
9:39cultivated a focus on one or two core
9:42ideas you must actively process and
9:45record the information since the working
9:48memory only tends to store information
9:50for about 10 to 20 seconds you must
9:53start by mentally rehearsing the
9:55information that you're trying to commit
9:57to memory and the most effective way to
9:59do this is to start writing things down
10:01while you're learning them because when
10:04you actively write something down you
10:06are forcing yourself to mentally
10:08rehearse it at a slower pace stretching
10:11out the time that you're pondering the
10:13subject and making it more likely to
10:15stick in your long-term memory so as you
10:18watch a Tips & Tricks video or review a
10:21match or watch a pro player take notes
10:24on each of the big lessons until you've
10:26collected a handful of important ideas
10:29but as I mentioned earlier the brain
10:32learns new things by creating mental
10:34webs of knowledge where each piece of
10:36information is connected to other pieces
10:39and the more connections that we make to
10:42an idea the more that idea will stick so
10:46take these core lessons or ideas that
10:48you wrote down and then think about the
10:50details of what they really mean and how
10:54they really apply to what you already
10:55know consider how they add to your
10:59existing knowledge or how they
11:00completely change it
11:02then consider what context this
11:04information or these lessons will matter
11:07the most and why exactly they're so
11:10important to remember and then of course
11:13once you've given these ideas context
11:15and meaning be sure to write that down
11:17with your notes and then once you've
11:19done that you've recorded the key
11:21lessons and their significance it's time
11:24to commit them all to memory using a
11:27powerful technique called recall and now
11:30recall is really just the process of
11:32looking away from the material and
11:34seeing what you can remember simply
11:36based on memory think of preparing for a
11:39test using cue cards and one experiment
11:42students who studied a text and then
11:44practiced it by recalling as much
11:46information they could and then repeated
11:48that process learn far more than their
11:51peers who either went on to something
11:53else or reread the text over and over
11:56again in fact the recall students
11:59learned about 80% of the key facts while
12:02non recall students only learned about
12:0434% meaning that by simply using the
12:08method of recall the students were able
12:11to learn over twice as much information
12:14so attempt to recall the information
12:16that you wrote down without looking at
12:19the material and only look back at it
12:21when you can't recall it then repeat
12:24this process until you can mentally
12:26recite each core idea in their context
12:28just based off memory and finally it's
12:32time to apply these learned lessons if
12:35it's a strategy that you just learned
12:38about then hop into a game and practice
12:41it if it's a key tip for improving your
12:44accuracy then hop into a game and
12:46practice it and if it's a breakthrough
12:48on a new mindset that you want to have
12:50during ranked games then hop into a game
12:53and practice it just by immediately
12:56putting these lessons into action you're
12:58not only remembering it easier but
13:01you'll start to turn that knowledge into
13:03a subconscious habit or instinct but of
13:06course if that key lesson is something
13:08that requires a very specific situation
13:10to apply then use visualization for
13:14example if you learn something new
13:16map control against a very specific
13:18enemy in a very specific situation then
13:22it may not be easy to replicate that
13:24right away but you can still use
13:27visualization to trick your mind into
13:29thinking that you're in that situation
13:31so picture yourself in that scenario
13:34where the key lesson comes into play
13:37then slow it down in your mind see
13:40yourself making the decision and taking
13:43the necessary action feel what it's like
13:46to make that decision and see what the
13:48result would be and so this is the
13:52process start by slowing things down and
13:55cultivating your focus then writing down
13:58the key lessons that you want to
14:00remember processing these lessons deeply
14:03using recall to make sure the
14:05information sticks and finally applying
14:08it so it becomes an instinct and
14:10consider the implication of this process
14:13by even just writing down key lessons
14:15that you want to remember then looking
14:17away and using recall you'll at least
14:20double your learning ability but of
14:22course implementing an aspect of taking
14:24notes and studying your material might
14:27seem a little weird when it comes to
14:29your gaming sessions we usually just
14:31play one match after the next or watch
14:33one video and then move on right away
14:35but by taking the time to review your
14:38matches write down and ponder important
14:40ideas and actively commit them to your
14:43long-term memory you'll surpass the
14:45limitations of your mind and vastly
14:47improve the rate at which you develop as
14:49a player so get yourself a notebook that
14:52you can dedicate to recording your
14:54gaming lessons and start implementing
14:56this process today and of course you
14:59don't need to aggressively take notes on
15:01everything and memorize every piece of
15:03information you can but by actively
15:06learning a few major lessons everyday
15:08you'll be able to improve at a faster
15:11and faster rate absorbing more and more
15:14game knowledge and developing the game
15:17sense and instincts of a pro player
15:22[Music]
