  1. 0:00Everyone, this is Wizard Hyong and today
  2. 0:02I want to talk about the difference
  3. 0:04between a genius gamer and a hard stuck
  4. 0:07gamer. So, as you guys probably know, I
  5. 0:09started coaching video game
  6. 0:11professionally since 2016. And in the
  7. 0:14last 10 years, I've seen many genius
  8. 0:16gamers who are literally world champion
  9. 0:18players and who can basically get to top
  10. 0:2010 on the letter or even go pro without
  11. 0:23any coaching. And I've also seen a lot
  12. 0:26of hard stuck gamers who are literally
  13. 0:29rank one at the bottom and those people
  14. 0:31who despite spending so much uh mental
  15. 0:34energy and effort into getting better
  16. 0:36watching you know a lot of educational
  17. 0:39content still stay heartstuck and I've
  18. 0:41even seen a student who spent uh $30,000
  19. 0:44on video game coaching and yet still
  20. 0:46being heartstuck. So today I want to
  21. 0:48talk about what are the difference
  22. 0:50differentiator between a genius gamer
  23. 0:52and hard gamer and uh you know basically
  24. 0:55what makes a genius gamer and what makes
  25. 0:57uh people stay hard and there could be
  26. 1:00many answers to this but today I want to
  27. 1:02focus on one of my favorite topic
  28. 1:04autotelicity and in order for me to
  29. 1:07explain what autotelicity is let me
  30. 1:10start with my own story of me learning
  31. 1:13how to hypnotize people when I was 14
  32. 1:16which is a little weird story. Um, but
  33. 1:19we're going to get into the gaming
  34. 1:21example very soon. It's going to click
  35. 1:22very soon, okay? So, bear with me a
  36. 1:23little bit. So, when I was 14, I was
  37. 1:25very much interested in learning
  38. 1:27hypnosis. Uh, for whatever reason, I
  39. 1:29think I saw random video and I just got
  40. 1:31fascinated. And back then, uh, there
  41. 1:34wasn't a lot of resources available on
  42. 1:36the internet. I believe uh there was
  43. 1:38around the time that YouTube uh just
  44. 1:40started uh growing and basically there
  45. 1:43was not a lot of resources. So what I
  46. 1:45did was I went to the city library. Um
  47. 1:48and back then I used to live in uh city
  48. 1:50of Bhun which is a city in South Korea
  49. 1:53that's right next to Soul. And in the
  50. 1:55city library there was about 30 to 40
  51. 1:58books I believe is um that are on
  52. 2:02hypnosis and NLP the neural language
  53. 2:04programming. So right after school every
  54. 2:07day I would take the bus to the city
  55. 2:10library and I would borrow three books
  56. 2:13every day because there was the limit
  57. 2:14that I could borrow per day. On the bus
  58. 2:16I would start reading binge reading
  59. 2:17those books uh for eight hours 10 hours
  60. 2:20a day and I couldn't finish those books
  61. 2:22because those were very thick and heavy.
  62. 2:23I would skim through some of the parts
  63. 2:25and if there's any parts that are
  64. 2:27particularly interesting. So for example
  65. 2:29uh in the beginning like how hypnosis
  66. 2:31work and later like three different
  67. 2:33types of introduction for hypnosis. So I
  68. 2:36would be binge reading some of the
  69. 2:37topics and then the next day when I went
  70. 2:39to the school when I went to my school
  71. 2:42uh in the classroom I would just ask my
  72. 2:44friends and classmates hey are you
  73. 2:46interested in being hypnotized and they
  74. 2:48were like oh this sounds cool like yeah
  75. 2:50and then uh I started trying things um
  76. 2:53that are on the book and a few weeks
  77. 2:55later surprisingly it started working um
  78. 2:59so some of my friends basically forgot
  79. 3:01their name and then when I asked their
  80. 3:03name like oh what's what's your name and
  81. 3:04then they were like Oh, I'm Elizabeth
  82. 3:06IVth. Um, or uh some of them forgot some
  83. 3:10of the numbers when they're counting
  84. 3:11numbers. Like, so they would count
  85. 3:12numbers like 1 2 3 5 6 7. It's got to a
  86. 3:16point where uh I basically hypnotized
  87. 3:19them that and said, "Your hand is glued
  88. 3:22to the forehead." And then they're like,
  89. 3:24"Oh, I can't move. This is this is glued
  90. 3:26to my head." And it was funny. And I was
  91. 3:28just so excited that it was actually
  92. 3:29working. I even recorded a video of me
  93. 3:33hypnotizing uh my friends and uploaded
  94. 3:36that on YouTube uh when I was basically
  95. 3:3814. That's basically like 16 years ago
  96. 3:40or 17 years ago or something like that
  97. 3:41and it's still there. Uh if you're
  98. 3:43interested in
  99. 3:45um but basically why did I do that? Why
  100. 3:48did I learn to hypnosis? Because I
  101. 3:51thought it's just cool. I didn't do it
  102. 3:54for any other reason. Um I just love the
  103. 3:56every moment of learning it and trying
  104. 3:59it. Uh I was just completely immersed. I
  105. 4:02was completely in flow. That was the
  106. 4:05basically the hypnosis was all I was
  107. 4:07thinking about for that two-month period
  108. 4:09of time. And and the for the same thing
  109. 4:13uh for the exact same notes. I love wine
  110. 4:16and uh I want to know everything about
  111. 4:20the wine. like I want to know how does
  112. 4:22this grape taste compared to that grape
  113. 4:24and I want to know how does this this
  114. 4:26vineyard tastes uh compared to that
  115. 4:27vineyard and why do I do it? Well, you
  116. 4:31could maybe say like oh like maybe it it
  117. 4:33could be good for like socializing or
  118. 4:35whatever but like hell I mean this is
  119. 4:37wine can be very expensive hobby and
  120. 4:39it's very time consuming and then it it
  121. 4:41consumes a lot of money and also it's
  122. 4:44going against my fitness goal. So the
  123. 4:46reason that I study wine and I just
  124. 4:49basically binge watch some of the wine
  125. 4:50content or read wine books is because I
  126. 4:52just love the wine and learning about
  127. 4:54the wine itself so much. So it's a very
  128. 4:57much intrinsic motivation. Um and this
  129. 5:01is what autotellic means and this is
  130. 5:04what autotellic looks like. So an
  131. 5:06autotellic work or autotellic activity
  132. 5:09exists for its own purpose not for any
  133. 5:12other reason. So I believe the otoellic
  134. 5:15uh the word is driven from the Greek
  135. 5:17word. So odo is the self and telkic the
  136. 5:18tilos is the uh the goal. So basically
  137. 5:22doing something uh is the reward itself.
  138. 5:25So for me learning hypnosis is the
  139. 5:27reward itself and learning about the
  140. 5:29wine and drinking the wine itself is uh
  141. 5:32the reward itself. I'm not trying to
  142. 5:34become a sier or I'm not trying to start
  143. 5:36a wine business or I'm not trying to
  144. 5:38impress uh my date or whatever uh with
  145. 5:42the wine knowledge or something like
  146. 5:43that. I I just do it because I love it.
  147. 5:45Right. And on the other hand uh I work
  148. 5:49out and I learn um basically like how to
  149. 5:53uh the bench press and stuff like that
  150. 5:54from a trainer and I I first started
  151. 5:56learning that from when I was in Genji.
  152. 5:58Uh so the Genji uh the professional
  153. 6:01gaming team is very generous and then
  154. 6:02they offer a free personal trainer uh
  155. 6:05sessions and uh I basically took
  156. 6:08advantage of that and I later even
  157. 6:10learned from IFBB professional
  158. 6:13bodybuilder on how to bodybuild and I
  159. 6:16don't like the workout itself. I do
  160. 6:19bodybuilding. I I do I go to gym because
  161. 6:21I want the external result and that's
  162. 6:24probably the reason why that I'm not as
  163. 6:27jacked as I could be obviously and if I
  164. 6:29was very much autotellic with the you
  165. 6:30know the bodybuilding because you know
  166. 6:32some of my friends uh definitely are
  167. 6:34they are like oh juicy oh delicious like
  168. 6:37I I'm not like that right I just do it
  169. 6:39because of the mostly because of the
  170. 6:40external reason right so now when we c
  171. 6:44basically uh connect this stock to the
  172. 6:47gaming world um as someone who coaches a
  173. 6:51lot of my students. A lot of students
  174. 6:52come come to me because of the external
  175. 6:55reward, not the internal reward itself.
  176. 6:58And that's going to make a big
  177. 6:59difference. So, a lot of people, a lot
  178. 7:01of my students come from uh they're very
  179. 7:04much like pain driven and
  180. 7:06pressure-driven students. So, for
  181. 7:08example, they come to me because like,
  182. 7:11oh, I just hate that I'm stuck in this
  183. 7:13like low yellow like I want to get out
  184. 7:16of like silver. I I you know they they
  185. 7:18basically see um that them being stuck
  186. 7:21in sober as very much ugly and they say
  187. 7:23like all my friends are this rank and
  188. 7:25I'm I'm this low so they're comparing
  189. 7:28themselves to their friend group and um
  190. 7:31I mean there are students who are like
  191. 7:33basically um I've been having unfair
  192. 7:35games uh where my teammates just type in
  193. 7:38and chat old game and a AFK in spawn um
  194. 7:41and other games where no matter what I
  195. 7:44do I can't win. So, they're very much
  196. 7:47obsessed and um tied to the win uh and
  197. 7:51loss of the game. I mean, a lot of
  198. 7:53people, you know, would be coming to me.
  199. 7:55I mean, it makes logical sense uh
  200. 7:56because they want to win more. I I've
  201. 7:58even seen a player who hit his new peak
  202. 8:01with the coaching uh for the first time
  203. 8:04and soon he started going through a
  204. 8:07losing streak and then he's like, "Oh, I
  205. 8:09can't handle this." um and he just just
  206. 8:13quit which is fine but basically there
  207. 8:16are a lot of players who are um getting
  208. 8:20a lot of stress who are not enjoying the
  209. 8:22process of learning uh they're not
  210. 8:25really doing it for having the fun and
  211. 8:28learning the video game itself but
  212. 8:29because they just want to get the you
  213. 8:31know rank because they just want to get
  214. 8:33the win right so and it's a very
  215. 8:35different mentality so these students
  216. 8:38that I basically described are typical
  217. 8:41example of um nonautotellic and the
  218. 8:45results external reward driven students
  219. 8:48and let me tell you a story of a genius
  220. 8:51gamer uh he's also one of my student so
  221. 8:53uh his name is Tayong and Tayong is
  222. 8:57basically when he was 16 he was able to
  223. 9:00go uh he was able to reach top five the
  224. 9:03rank five in Valerant like without any
  225. 9:06coaching so basically he's a very
  226. 9:08typical genius gamer like imagine
  227. 9:10hitting rank five as a 16 year old,
  228. 9:12right? So, very impressive. Um, I mean,
  229. 9:14I didn't coach his valent, but he came
  230. 9:16to me for coaching um for Overwatch
  231. 9:19coaching later, but he was already top
  232. 9:20five in valant, but how he got to that
  233. 9:24rank was he was just very much like, I
  234. 9:27saw this YouTube video on how to improve
  235. 9:30my ang that looks kind of fun. That
  236. 9:32looks kind of cool, so let me just try
  237. 9:34it. And he was able to uh climb like
  238. 9:38from like I think silver or something
  239. 9:40like that to like somewhat significantly
  240. 9:41higher. And uh when he was around top
  241. 9:45300 which is already high higher low uh
  242. 9:47he realized that oh when I watch this
  243. 9:51professional player who's playing very
  244. 9:53aggressive he just realized he was
  245. 9:55playing very passive. He was playing so
  246. 9:58passive compared to that role model the
  247. 9:59professional gamer. So he did his uh he
  248. 10:03went through his own own experiment of
  249. 10:05okay let me just try to copy him and uh
  250. 10:09he basically started playing
  251. 10:10hyperaggressive like almost to a point
  252. 10:13where he thought oh like am I throwing
  253. 10:16what he's doing what the that
  254. 10:17professional gamer who is like literally
  255. 10:20rank one at at the moment um looked like
  256. 10:23throwing but let me just try because
  257. 10:25that looks interesting and I want to be
  258. 10:27like him. It was just he just genuinely
  259. 10:29wanted to be like him rather than he
  260. 10:32wanted to like, oh, I'm like top 300. I
  261. 10:35just really have to rank up. I want to
  262. 10:37be professional gamer and, you know,
  263. 10:39basically make a a living for my family
  264. 10:41or something like that. He just wanted
  265. 10:43to get better. He just wanted to copy
  266. 10:44him, right? And because of that, I mean,
  267. 10:48I talked about this in the bounce back
  268. 10:50effect video. Um, but he went he went 15
  269. 10:55wins and I believe like 16 loss or or
  270. 10:58something. So basically he lost like 30
  271. 11:00games or something like that total in in
  272. 11:02like less than 5 days or something like
  273. 11:04that. So he was top 300 and he dropped
  274. 11:09all the way down to top uh 10,000 or
  275. 11:12something like that which for a lot of
  276. 11:14people that be like wow you dropped so
  277. 11:16much. And you know uh those people who
  278. 11:19are um working off of external reward
  279. 11:23who are really obsessed with long uh
  280. 11:25wins and uh losses and the rank they
  281. 11:27could they wouldn't be able to do that.
  282. 11:29And I think the reason that he's
  283. 11:30actually able to do this be is because
  284. 11:32um he didn't give a f about his rank
  285. 11:35because he just wanted to learn and to
  286. 11:38him copying that role model was just so
  287. 11:41much fun. So despite he was losing uh
  288. 11:44going through a big losing streak, he
  289. 11:46had fun. I mean he was stressed a little
  290. 11:48bit but then uh he would find like okay
  291. 11:51I think my smoke timing is actually
  292. 11:53similar to my role model but why is it
  293. 11:55not working? I got this part done but
  294. 11:57why is it not working? And oh turns out
  295. 12:00maybe his peak timing is way faster than
  296. 12:02mine. So let me peak faster. And then so
  297. 12:04he's basically going through a lot of
  298. 12:05iteration trial and error and later
  299. 12:09everything clicks. He went from 300, top
  300. 12:12300 to like top 10,000 or something like
  301. 12:15that and then he bounced back to top
  302. 12:17five as a 16 year old, right? Um he's a
  303. 12:20truly, you know, autotellic gamer and
  304. 12:23I've literally seen so many counter
  305. 12:25examples who are similar rank to him,
  306. 12:27like top 300 and then like when they
  307. 12:29drop down to master tier or whatever in
  308. 12:31Overwatch, they're like, "Oh my god, I I
  309. 12:33got so worse." And then um they just
  310. 12:36stop trying. They just give up. And uh
  311. 12:39because they don't look at their
  312. 12:41progress and because um they're only
  313. 12:45looking at their rank and wins and
  314. 12:46losses on all the external reward,
  315. 12:48right? And it's actually very powerful
  316. 12:51and hyper important uh concept because I
  317. 12:55mean when I was playing League of
  318. 12:57Legends um I was basically going through
  319. 13:00the same thing. Um basically
  320. 13:03I was having so much fun copying my role
  321. 13:07model like mid Jenna AP Soraka every
  322. 13:10time I was getting one person closer to
  323. 13:12the role model I was just having so much
  324. 13:13fun. So one of the big difference is
  325. 13:16that the journey um I think let's say if
  326. 13:20I play 10 month of video game I would
  327. 13:23say at least like 60 to 70% of the time
  328. 13:26or maybe even 80% of the time I was
  329. 13:29having so much fun. I was listening to
  330. 13:31EDM uh when I was playing League of
  331. 13:33Legends and um you know I was just like
  332. 13:36oo oo and you know like trying to copy
  333. 13:38the role model and when my certain play
  334. 13:42uh basically resembled and kind of
  335. 13:44looked like my role model I was like
  336. 13:46having so much dopamine it was just so
  337. 13:47much fun whereas uh these students who
  338. 13:50are basically pain driven pressure
  339. 13:52driven every time they lose every time
  340. 13:54they go through losing st every time
  341. 13:56they uh you know like they basically ask
  342. 13:59me How do you guys like um you know uh
  343. 14:02not tie your skill to your rank? I mean
  344. 14:05I get these questions so many times in
  345. 14:07my discord from many many many students
  346. 14:09because and and these are clear examples
  347. 14:11of them uh operating off of the pain,
  348. 14:14pressure, external reward rather than
  349. 14:17just enjoying um the learning process
  350. 14:19itself. Like the scariest thing that a
  351. 14:23student can do in terms of like learning
  352. 14:25the video game is that even if they
  353. 14:27lose, they feel happy. And which is what
  354. 14:31I did and which is what Tayong did, the
  355. 14:33Valeran student did. And if that
  356. 14:36happens, you are pretty much unstoppable
  357. 14:37because like you are completely detached
  358. 14:40from wins and losses, the external
  359. 14:42reward. And those people ironically do
  360. 14:46get that result much faster. Of course,
  361. 14:50a lot of the professional gamers that
  362. 14:52I've seen, um, as you know, I worked
  363. 14:54with, uh, you know, more than 70
  364. 14:56professional gamers in my coaching, uh,
  365. 14:59career and they are operating off of the
  366. 15:03autoticity. Not all the time, not every
  367. 15:06time, but for the most part. So for
  368. 15:07example
  369. 15:09in League of Legends a lot of the very
  370. 15:12high level uh like world class
  371. 15:15professional gamers first started as one
  372. 15:17trick. So I believe Choby was casopia
  373. 15:21one trick and I believe Doran was a clad
  374. 15:23one trick and those characters are not
  375. 15:26mainstream. Those characters are
  376. 15:28and uh top dragon was a Doomfist one
  377. 15:31trick and um I mean Doomfist was maybe
  378. 15:34okay but it wasn't like uh the meta
  379. 15:36pick. So these professional players very
  380. 15:38often operate based on the autotelicity.
  381. 15:41They just do it because they love
  382. 15:44learning their character playing better.
  383. 15:47They just love the journey. And uh like
  384. 15:50I said, they enjoy the process and um
  385. 15:54those uh pain-driven, pressured
  386. 15:56students, they a lot of times their
  387. 15:58practice is just miserable often. And uh
  388. 16:02it's not that they cannot never get
  389. 16:04better. I I mean I do even see uh quite
  390. 16:07a bit of them improving because um you
  391. 16:09know if they just have a better game
  392. 16:11knowledge then they do see some of the
  393. 16:13result but even then if they are truly
  394. 16:16autotelling if they actually wonder
  395. 16:18about let's say if I let's say if I
  396. 16:20teach uh someone how to like off angle
  397. 16:22or when to flank or something like that
  398. 16:24someone who is autotellic might be
  399. 16:26genuinely curious on oh like how does
  400. 16:29this like uh off angle work and let me
  401. 16:32see how like proper uses the off angle
  402. 16:35and let me see how Zest top dragon's
  403. 16:37stalker uses off angle. they'll be going
  404. 16:38much deeper into the topic and then they
  405. 16:41will be doing things that I didn't even
  406. 16:43ask and they'll be basically going into
  407. 16:46deeper research by themselves because
  408. 16:47they just really want to know uh they
  409. 16:50just are genuinely curious kind of like
  410. 16:52how I was going to the library every day
  411. 16:55whereas some of the students uh kind of
  412. 16:57treat it as like oh if I do this
  413. 16:59homework I will get better and um they
  414. 17:03do the bare minimum kind of like what I
  415. 17:04tell them um it's not again it's not
  416. 17:06like they cannot never better like the
  417. 17:08group who are autotellic will just have
  418. 17:10a significant growth uh is they're
  419. 17:13learning on steroid basically right so
  420. 17:16and I think one clear example uh the
  421. 17:20trend that shows this is the trap of
  422. 17:22semi-pros I call this trap of semipros
  423. 17:25so in Korea there are a lot of
  424. 17:29professional gamingmies uh some even run
  425. 17:32by very prestigious
  426. 17:35uh like esports organizations like
  427. 17:37professional gaming teams and
  428. 17:40a lot of the teenagers because um in
  429. 17:43Korea professional gamer was one of the
  430. 17:45very popular uh like dream of a young
  431. 17:50teenagers. So a lot of them when they
  432. 17:53are you know like top 1% when they're
  433. 17:56like top 500 they kind of go there. So a
  434. 17:59lot of those those students a lot of
  435. 18:00those teenagers who are 15 16 17 they
  436. 18:03are already like top 500 top 1%. So they
  437. 18:06are already good. So um but if you if
  438. 18:09you take a look at how they went from uh
  439. 18:13nowhere basically like a you know bronze
  440. 18:15silver to top 500 they were autotelling.
  441. 18:19They learned like a child like like a
  442. 18:22literal teenager like having so much
  443. 18:24fun. Haha this is fun. Let me do this.
  444. 18:26And then they got to top 500 naturally
  445. 18:30uh with the intrinsic motivation like
  446. 18:32very autotellic in a very autotellic
  447. 18:34manner. But then as soon as they put a
  448. 18:37label on themselves like oh now I'm a
  449. 18:41serious gamer. I am going for a
  450. 18:44professional uh I'm basically giving a
  451. 18:46shot for uh like becoming a professional
  452. 18:48player. and they start feeling so much
  453. 18:50pressure and they do start care uh so
  454. 18:55much about their wins, losses, ranks and
  455. 18:59not only that they compare themselves to
  456. 19:01the other students around them and then
  457. 19:03oh this student ranked up way faster
  458. 19:06than me and I'm stuck in in this same
  459. 19:08rank like top 500 for the last five
  460. 19:11months or something like that. I'm
  461. 19:12miserable. And also, you know, in Korea,
  462. 19:15as you guys probably know or may not
  463. 19:17know, uh there are very severe sense of
  464. 19:19have to go into like a good university
  465. 19:22and um they take Korean SAT very
  466. 19:25seriously and a lot of them a lot of
  467. 19:26these semi-pros uh wannabes basically
  468. 19:29debuck their school career. Some of some
  469. 19:32literally quit their school for this.
  470. 19:34Um, so they pretty much like doubled
  471. 19:37down and they they put everything in
  472. 19:38here and the the fee the tuition for the
  473. 19:40game academy is anywhere from like $400
  474. 19:44a month to you know some programs like
  475. 19:46$1,000 a month and uh you know and it's
  476. 19:51obviously their parents' money and uh
  477. 19:53they feel a lot of pressure. So because
  478. 19:56of all the pressure, oh like I'm, you
  479. 19:57know, I'm paying this much for the
  480. 19:59coaching and I've basically given up my
  481. 20:01uh regular career, regular path of you
  482. 20:04know going to university and all that.
  483. 20:06So I'm taking like a very different
  484. 20:07path. So the the mental pressure is
  485. 20:10exploding to them. So therefore they
  486. 20:13lose the intrinsic the autotellic part
  487. 20:16of them. So they go from the autotellic
  488. 20:19gamer to very much like a stress gamer.
  489. 20:22And I I've seen a lot of them fail. And
  490. 20:25this is uh you know like the typical
  491. 20:28example of a students who spent like 2
  492. 20:30thou sorry $20,000 on coaching or
  493. 20:33$30,000 coaching and uh yet still being
  494. 20:36heartstuck uh despite all that. Right?
  495. 20:38So I think this is a very interesting
  496. 20:40topic and I've seen um a few examples uh
  497. 20:44like this even in the west. Um but
  498. 20:47basically they spent this much time and
  499. 20:49then they've been stuck in you know this
  500. 20:51rank and then it's more so dominant in
  501. 20:54the Korean community but like I've also
  502. 20:55seen it in the west as well. What are
  503. 20:57the autotelicity killer again external
  504. 21:01reward? So these the young teenagers who
  505. 21:04were very talented um not maybe very
  506. 21:07talented pretty talented who are able to
  507. 21:09go from like low rank to top 500 on
  508. 21:12their own once they like label
  509. 21:16themselves as oh I'm like a pro wannabe
  510. 21:18and I'm I'm like aspiring pro player and
  511. 21:20I'm I'm going to give it a shot and then
  512. 21:22they start caring so much about the
  513. 21:24external reward like wins and losses and
  514. 21:25they cannot no longer detach to and they
  515. 21:28put their entire human identity into
  516. 21:32gaming. So, every loss is like, "Oh, I'm
  517. 21:35a miserable human being." And then I've
  518. 21:37literally seen students slapping
  519. 21:39themselves whenever they're playing bad
  520. 21:42or when they're like having a losing
  521. 21:43streak. I mean, I I've seen even worse.
  522. 21:45Um, but those are very extreme cases
  523. 21:48which are not going to be very
  524. 21:49applicable for a lot of the, you know,
  525. 21:51viewers watching this. But basically my
  526. 21:53point here is that you know uh although
  527. 21:56the degree might be very different a lot
  528. 21:58of you watching this content might be uh
  529. 22:01you know someone who is really
  530. 22:03interested in getting better at video
  531. 22:04game if you do it out of the pain or the
  532. 22:06pressure
  533. 22:08maybe you may get better but it's not
  534. 22:10very sustainable. can't do it for so
  535. 22:12long and even if you do it it's not as
  536. 22:14effective if you go into the
  537. 22:17autotelicity mode like the many other
  538. 22:20professional gamers that that I talked
  539. 22:21about or the tail the valerant student
  540. 22:23or myself when I was playing League of
  541. 22:25Legends um or my like hypnosis or wine
  542. 22:29journey every moment for that 10 month
  543. 22:32period or two two month period I was
  544. 22:34having a blessed time it was just so fun
  545. 22:37oh my god like I I'm like and some of
  546. 22:40the My students who are have this
  547. 22:41autoticity, they not only rank up so
  548. 22:44fast and they literally say in the
  549. 22:46middle of the live coaching sessions
  550. 22:47like, "Hey Carpey, get out." like they
  551. 22:50basically think the carpet is in them
  552. 22:52and they they're having so much fun
  553. 22:54because uh you know they try to copy the
  554. 22:57carpets dodge uh movement pattern and
  555. 23:00then now they're doing it to an extent
  556. 23:02and they find it so fun and they get so
  557. 23:04much dopamine and then you know they
  558. 23:06don't even care too much about wins and
  559. 23:07losses and yeah uh I mean there are some
  560. 23:10professional gamers who are getting
  561. 23:12really tilted about um you know losing
  562. 23:15the comp and whatever but uh I've seen a
  563. 23:18lot of the professional
  564. 23:19gamers um especially when I hear their
  565. 23:23story of how they got better because
  566. 23:26I've interviewed a lot of professional
  567. 23:28professional gamers to write my book and
  568. 23:31this is a very common thing. Okay. So um
  569. 23:34and again autotality killer is the
  570. 23:36external reward wins and losses and
  571. 23:38obsession over the rank.
  572. 23:40you detaching wins and losses if you can
  573. 23:43detach from the wins and losses. It it
  574. 23:46it might be one of the most powerful
  575. 23:48thing you can do in terms of a video
  576. 23:50game improvement. Not even kidding.
  577. 23:53Okay. And if you do this, you are going
  578. 23:55to be very curious. Um you're going to
  579. 23:58be very curious like, oh, Wizard Young
  580. 24:00talked about the the off angle or
  581. 24:02whatever, you know, the the flow of the
  582. 24:04game or you know, exposure, something
  583. 24:06like that. And then huh how is my role
  584. 24:09model doing this and why is he not doing
  585. 24:11this here? So they just want to know
  586. 24:13more and more and more and more more
  587. 24:15about it and then they are experimenting
  588. 24:18in their own game. Oh I saw carpet doing
  589. 24:21this. I I I saw proper doing this so let
  590. 24:23me just go into my game and try this and
  591. 24:24ah why did it not work? Hm. Let me this
  592. 24:27is really fascinating curious is you're
  593. 24:28becoming like a the Einstein or like
  594. 24:31Edison or whatever and then doing you
  595. 24:33know hundreds of iteration like
  596. 24:35experiment um and every time even if you
  597. 24:38don't get it right if you think you're
  598. 24:40getting closer to the answer it's just
  599. 24:42so fascinatingly fun and that is the
  600. 24:46typical autoleg gamer which is something
  601. 24:47that I'm very passionate about and I
  602. 24:49really want you guys to take this
  603. 24:51because it's not only going to help you
  604. 24:52get better fast it's going to help you
  605. 24:56enjoy truly enjoy the game more and I
  606. 24:59think it's actually a gift that
  607. 25:03um someone can have uh because you're
  608. 25:06going to have a lot of true joy if
  609. 25:08you're in this state which is something
  610. 25:10that Chixen Mihi uh the author the
  611. 25:12really famous author of the book flow
  612. 25:15talks about and the he talks about
  613. 25:17autotalicity maybe he might have
  614. 25:19invented the term in psychology of
  615. 25:21autotalicity I'm not 100% sure but
  616. 25:23basically he talks about autoicity a lot
  617. 25:24in his Chicks and Mihi um flow. So if
  618. 25:27you guys are interested learn more about
  619. 25:28it, I highly recommend you reading the
  620. 25:30book as well. Um and again I'm not a
  621. 25:34like you know psychology expert so uh
  622. 25:36they would have a better um explanation
  623. 25:38for this but I'm a game coaching expert
  624. 25:40and I have a lot of um experience and
  625. 25:43examples of um you know like that I've
  626. 25:45seen. And to me and to many other
  627. 25:48professional gifts, copying the role
  628. 25:49model is incredibly fun. like, "Oh, I'm
  629. 25:53getting 1% closer to my role model, my
  630. 25:55idol player. That's so so fun. Oh my Oh
  631. 25:58my god, my aim kind of look like quartz
  632. 26:00there. Oh my god, the quartz aim style."
  633. 26:01Bum bum bum. And that's that's just so
  634. 26:04much fun. And I want to basically end
  635. 26:07this uh video with the the quick note
  636. 26:10that my book talks about uh my book uh
  637. 26:14which is not officially out but we did
  638. 26:16uh the the early access and we have a
  639. 26:18discord um that people can join who got
  640. 26:21the early access and we basically uh
  641. 26:23encouraged the discussion and there were
  642. 26:26some people uh who were in what I call
  643. 26:30swamp of avoidance basically people who
  644. 26:32are afraid of playmaking and and stuff
  645. 26:34like that which This is very common. And
  646. 26:36this one player played League of Blends
  647. 26:39for quite long and then this is the
  648. 26:40first time them playing uh them hitting
  649. 26:42diamond and then I asked what changed
  650. 26:45and they simply said trying things out.
  651. 26:48Last time I was playing too scared, fear
  652. 26:51of making plays and you know no one
  653. 26:54thing uh and then one thing I noticed is
  654. 26:56that the more I care about LP and you
  655. 26:58know fear of losing game, I actually
  656. 27:00play worse. I mean obviously right and
  657. 27:04and the making and forcing plays right
  658. 27:06to make plays. uh basically
  659. 27:08experimenting and trying things out um
  660. 27:11and having fun and as you're
  661. 27:13experimenting as you're getting 1% or
  662. 27:15even 0.1% closer to the role model you
  663. 27:19you can have so much fun right [snorts]
  664. 27:21um so I hope this is
  665. 27:27perhaps lifech changing like maybe not
  666. 27:29in life-changing but like gaming lifech
  667. 27:31changing for some of the viewers because
  668. 27:33I think I've seen so many students, so
  669. 27:38many people who actually really needed
  670. 27:40this video, who really, really needed
  671. 27:42this lesson. And this is something that
  672. 27:43I'm very passionate about. I hope you
  673. 27:46experience the same when it comes to
  674. 27:48learning video game. It's just so fun.
  675. 27:51What are the difference between like uh
  676. 27:53SLE's aimari aim style and violet uh aim
  677. 27:56style? Shrugger, our aim coach, is so
  678. 27:59nerdy about those things. And then he he
  679. 28:01gets so much intrinsic um uh motivation
  680. 28:04for like learning about the the aims
  681. 28:06like that's why he's aim he just gets so
  682. 28:08much excited and I uh get so much
  683. 28:11internal like reward. I I'm very
  684. 28:13autotellic about coaching. I hope you
  685. 28:16experience the same when it comes to
  686. 28:18learning video game. Uh I hope you guys
  687. 28:20can uh take away something important
  688. 28:21here and thank
