I Analyzed 1,000 Fortnite Players... Everyone Makes These 7 Mistakes — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00After analyzing hundreds of competitive
2. 0:02Fortnite players from people just
3. 0:04starting out all the way up to people
4. 0:06trying to qualify for FNCS Division 1, I
5. 0:09noticed that every single one of them
6. 0:11makes the exact same seven mistakes. And
7. 0:14these are the mistakes that are quietly
8. 0:16holding them back from improving and
9. 0:18getting better placements. So, I'm just
10. 0:21going to be real with you in this video,
11. 0:22and some of these are 100% going to
12. 0:25apply to you. But the good thing is
13. 0:27every one of them is super easy to fix.
14. 0:30And as soon as you do, you're going to
15. 0:31improve way faster. And number seven is
16. 0:34the one barely anyone is doing, but it's
17. 0:36honestly the most important one of them
18. 0:38all. Now, real quick, [music] one of, if
19. 0:41not the biggest mistake people make, is
20. 0:43that they don't focus on their
21. 0:45weaknesses. [music]
22. 0:46And we've now got to the point where
23. 0:48this is easier than ever, but not
24. 0:50everyone knows about why it's become so
25. 0:52much easier. So, let me explain why as
26. 0:54quickly as possible. [music] Because now
27. 0:57you can use Snap into watch your
28. 0:59gameplay and find your mistakes, and
29. 1:01then track all of them so you know what
30. 1:04your biggest weaknesses are and what's
31. 1:06actually costing you games. But then it
32. 1:08uses all of your weaknesses, goals, time
33. 1:11limit, and everything to build you fully
34. 1:13personalized routines, focus on your
35. 1:16weaknesses using all the up-to-date best
36. 1:19practice methods, some of which you have
37. 1:21probably never heard of. You also get
38. 1:24unlimited pro-level coaching from
39. 1:26Snapin's AI coach, which also knows all
40. 1:29of your weaknesses and remembers every
41. 1:31conversation you've ever had with your
42. 1:33coach. [music] Now, if you want to check
43. 1:35this out before the prices go up, then
44. 1:38click the link in the description or the
45. 1:40pinned comments. [music]
46. 1:41The first mistake, and probably the most
47. 1:43common one, is that players do what's
48. 1:45fun instead of what's right. So, let me
49. 1:48give you an example. You've got two
50. 1:50players who both want to go pro. Player
51. 1:52one plays for five hours and follows a
52. 1:55proper routine. He warms up his aim, he
53. 1:57plays fights against good [music]
54. 1:59players, he plays scrims, and he looks
55. 2:01back at his deaths. And player two plays
56. 2:04for eight hours, but he just plays zone
57. 2:06wars with his friends who are worse than
58. 2:08him, and maybe does some ranks, and
59. 2:10maybe does a few scrims, [music] but
60. 2:11just plays the scrims for fun. Now,
61. 2:14you'd think player two improves more
62. 2:16because he played longer, but that's
63. 2:18actually completely wrong. Player one
64. 2:20improves way faster, even though he
65. 2:22played less, because every single thing
66. 2:24he did was pointed at his weaknesses.
67. 2:27So, this is basically the trap. Most
68. 2:30[music] players just hop on and play
69. 2:31whatever feels good in the moment, and
70. 2:33then they wonder why their placements
71. 2:35never get better. So, if you're serious
72. 2:37about getting better, you've got to
73. 2:39start doing what's right, not what's
74. 2:41just fun. And the good news is you can
75. 2:43actually make the right stuff [music]
76. 2:45fun, too, which I'll get into later in
77. 2:47this video. So, mistake number two is
78. 2:50overbuilding, and it's probably [music]
79. 2:51not what you think, but this is a huge
80. 2:53one because so many players do it
81. 2:55without even realizing they're doing it.
82. 2:57You get in a fight and you're too
83. 2:59focused on your building, your editing,
84. 3:01or your piece control, but really the
85. 3:03first thing on your mind should always
86. 3:05be dealing damage. Your mechanics are
87. 3:08just there to help you get that damage
88. 3:10off, not the other way around. So,
89. 3:13here's the thing. The best players don't
90. 3:15panic build, and they don't just build
91. 3:17for [music] the sake of it. They keep
92. 3:19the pressure on their opponent, they
93. 3:21stay calm throughout the whole fight,
94. 3:22and they wait for the one moment where
95. 3:24the enemy messes up. But usually they
96. 3:26mess up even more than that. Maybe they
97. 3:28make a bad edit, or maybe they just drop
98. 3:30on your wall with no cover, and then the
99. 3:33pro would punish it and deal as much
100. 3:35damage as they can without taking any
101. 3:37back. That's how you win fights, because
102. 3:39at the end of the day, damage is the
103. 3:41most important thing in a fight. If you
104. 3:43don't deal damage, you won't win the
105. 3:45fight. It's that simple. But when you
106. 3:47overbuild, you're doing the opposite. If
107. 3:49you're too focused on just doing random
108. 3:52builds or random quad edits, you'll
109. 3:54probably end up missing an opportunity
110. 3:57where your opponent made a mistake. And
111. 3:59if you just weren't over building in
112. 4:01that moment, you could have won the
113. 4:02fight there and then by punishing that
114. 4:04mistake. So, instead of spamming builds
115. 4:07or going for clips, always focus on
116. 4:10dealing damage and keep the pressure on
117. 4:12your enemy and be constantly looking for
118. 4:15any chance to deal that damage. And when
119. 4:17you start playing like this, you
120. 4:19instantly become a much harder player to
121. 4:21beat. Mistake number three is also
122. 4:23pretty big and almost everyone gets it
123. 4:26wrong. They just don't spend nearly
124. 4:28enough time on their fighting. So,
125. 4:31here's the truth. If you can't fight,
126. 4:33you will never go pro. It's that simple.
127. 4:35And when you actually think about why
128. 4:37you die in tournaments, it's almost
129. 4:39always a fight you should have won. You
130. 4:41missed an edit, you got piece
131. 4:42controlled, or you missed a shot, or
132. 4:45something like that. And all of that
133. 4:46comes down to fighting. So, you want to
134. 4:49be spending at least 60% of your total
135. 4:51time on the game just improving your
136. 4:53fighting. Really, you want 60 to 70%.
137. 4:57So, if you play 5 hours a day, that's
138. 4:59about 3 hours or so that you want to be
139. 5:02focused on fighting. The playbook for
140. 5:04most people who actually really want to
141. 5:06go pro is a warm up and then it's all
142. 5:09fighting practice. And then when there's
143. 5:12a scrim session, you play that scrim
144. 5:14session. But when there isn't a scrim
145. 5:15session, you'll focus on your fighting
146. 5:18only. But most players spend like 20% of
147. 5:21their time fighting or maybe 30% and
148. 5:24then wonder why they keep losing all
149. 5:26their fights. One of the best ways to
150. 5:28fix your fighting is doing one V ones
151. 5:30against someone better than you and
152. 5:32playing creative fighting practice
153. 5:34against good players. It's genuinely so
154. 5:36important. I know I go on about it a
155. 5:38lot, but this is extremely important.
156. 5:41And this actually leads me into mistake
157. 5:43number four because who you fight
158. 5:45matters just as much as how you fight.
159. 5:48So, mistake four is practicing against
160. 5:50the same friend you've already beaten a
161. 5:52hundred times or just playing against
162. 5:54players who are worse than you in
163. 5:56general. This is honestly one of the
164. 5:57biggest time wasters there is because
165. 5:59when you play against someone worse than
166. 6:01you, you get away with bad habits. You
167. 6:03can take bad peaks, you can make bad
168. 6:06edits, and nothing will really happen.
169. 6:09And it's just because they're not good
170. 6:10enough to punish you. So, your brain
171. 6:12just thinks those plays are totally
172. 6:15fine. And then you go into a real
173. 6:16tournament against a good player and
174. 6:18they punish you for every single one of
175. 6:20those habits and you end up losing. So,
176. 6:23if you want results nobody else gets,
177. 6:25you've got to practice in a way nobody
178. 6:27else does. And that means playing
179. 6:29against people who are better than you
180. 6:30or at the very least the same skill
181. 6:32level as you. Because playing good
182. 6:34players is genuinely one of the fastest
183. 6:36ways to improve and playing bad players
184. 6:39is one of the slowest or it can
185. 6:40literally make your tournament
186. 6:42placements worse or keep you stuck at
187. 6:44the same level. But this next one is a
188. 6:46mistake that I think stops the most
189. 6:48talented players from ever going [music]
190. 6:50pro. And it's all about the way you
191. 6:52think. Let's say it's the last game of a
192. 6:55solo tournament and you need a top three
193. 6:57to get good result. Most people are
194. 7:00playing not to lose and just to survive.
195. 7:03So, because you're playing not to lose,
196. 7:05not only will you be scared to take a
197. 7:07fight that you might need, otherwise
198. 7:09you'll never be able to win the game
199. 7:10anyway. So, you might end up going into
200. 7:13the final zone with the worst loot in
201. 7:14the entire lobby on low health and just
202. 7:17hoping to make it at least get some
203. 7:19placement points or something. But then
204. 7:21you've basically given yourself the
205. 7:23worst possible odds of winning. A pro in
206. 7:25that exact same spot plays to win
207. 7:28instead. If there's scuffs, they have
208. 7:30the confidence to go and fight and win
209. 7:33that fight because they know it's their
210. 7:35only chance of winning that game. And
211. 7:37they also make game winning plays like
212. 7:40going up on height to win the game, or
213. 7:42claiming low ground. But there are two
214. 7:44examples of game-winning plays that pros
215. 7:47do, and that most competitive players
216. 7:49are hesitant to do. But obviously,
217. 7:52they're all situational, but hopefully
218. 7:54you get the point. And here's the key
219. 7:56part. Even if that pro goes for the big
220. 7:59plays and dies, he still knows it was
221. 8:01the right call because he was playing to
222. 8:03win. If he didn't go for that play, he
223. 8:05might not have qualified for the
224. 8:06tournament anyway. So, it's worth taking
225. 8:09that risk. At the end of the day, if you
226. 8:11don't take these risks ever in your
227. 8:13career, you're never going to go pro.
228. 8:15So, you may as well start going for
229. 8:17these plays and making them mistakes
230. 8:19now, so you can learn from them faster
231. 8:22and go pro faster. In this game, if you
232. 8:25want to be one of the best players, or
233. 8:26you want to be known as special, you've
234. 8:28got to be okay with taking that play and
235. 8:31playing for the win, and also having the
236. 8:33confidence to do it. So, next time you
237. 8:36play, when you get a chance to qualify
238. 8:38or actually win a game, so just keep
239. 8:40this in mind. But mistake six is the
240. 8:43difference between a top 2,000 player
241. 8:45and a top 200 player. And it's not aim,
242. 8:49and it's not mechanics, it's just how
243. 8:51smart you are. Because there are
244. 8:53thousands of players with good enough
245. 8:54mechanics to go pro who are never going
246. 8:56to make it just because they don't
247. 8:58actually think. Most players take fights
248. 9:00without ever asking themselves one
249. 9:02simple question, is this a good fight to
250. 9:04take? Pros don't do that. Not only do
251. 9:07they have pre-game [music] plans, where
252. 9:09they already know basically what they're
253. 9:11doing before they even load into a game,
254. 9:14but they also think about the decisions
255. 9:16they're about to make and whether it's
256. 9:18worth it or not. So, this [music] brings
257. 9:20me to mistake number seven. And
258. 9:22honestly, this might be the most
259. 9:24important one of them all. You don't
260. 9:27look back at why you died, and you don't
261. 9:29vod review. I know some of you probably
262. 9:31don't want to hear this, and some of you
263. 9:33are probably going to feel like you're
264. 9:34going to click off the video. And if you
265. 9:35want to do that, then go ahead. I'm not
266. 9:37stopping you. But here's the thing. If
267. 9:39you don't look at your mistakes, you're
268. 9:41just going to keep making the same ones,
269. 9:44and you'll never understand why your
270. 9:46placements aren't moving to where you
271. 9:48want them to be. But still, lots of
272. 9:50people don't actually do this. They just
273. 9:53die and then just keep on queuing up
274. 9:55game after game and tournament after
275. 9:57tournament. And they might improve their
276. 9:59tournament placements a little bit, but
277. 10:01you're never going to improve your
278. 10:02tournament placements a lot, and there
279. 10:04is absolutely zero chance you'll ever go
280. 10:07[music] pro if you don't look at your
281. 10:10mistakes and learn from them. And it
282. 10:12doesn't have to be some boring 3-hour
283. 10:14session of watching replays, either. For
284. 10:17sure, if you do that, you're definitely
285. 10:18going to improve. But some people, it is
286. 10:21boring. So, it can be as simple as this.
287. 10:24Every time you die, just take a second
288. 10:26and ask yourself, why did you die? And
289. 10:28in scrims, just look after every game
290. 10:31while you're waiting for the next scrim
291. 10:32code or scrim session, just look at how
292. 10:35you died. Let's say you play five scrim
293. 10:37games, and you just look for 5 minutes
294. 10:39after each game. That means every day
295. 10:42you're going to vod review for 25
296. 10:44minutes total. And that might not seem
297. 10:46like a lot, but trust me, going from
298. 10:49zero to 25 minutes of vod reviewing
299. 10:51every day would genuinely improve your
300. 10:54game sense so much. And if you stay
301. 10:56consistent, I promise you will improve
302. 10:59your tournament placements. That's why
303. 11:01the players who actually do this improve
304. 11:04so much faster than everyone else,
305. 11:06because they're fixing their real
306. 11:07problem instead of just guessing. Now,
307. 11:09Snapping can help you vod review faster
308. 11:12as well. You can just upload a clip, and
309. 11:14it will tell you exactly why you died
310. 11:16and what you should do next time.
