How to be ready for anything

[@HappyGick]

Can relate to BoxBox. I've never felt so called out in my life. Wohoojin said "he's a League Of Legends player, League Of Legends players look at the minimap every 3 seconds", and I was just... "Oh. I guess it's not as good of a habit to look at the minimap constantly".

[@cleo__cleo9227]

Generally you could think of it as an on/off switch, you have one mode which is when there's a possibility to fight (don't look at minimap!), and another mode where there isn't a possibility of a fight occuring (look at minimap!)

[@raijin4094]

even cod players look at their minimaps alot, i felt so called out for this 😂

[@hateme5010]

Yeah, when I played csgo I did not focus on the minimap, but to rank up from bronze in LoL i had to get that skill alongside others, and I did rank up there. Now in valorant at diamond 3 this has been disastrous for me as when ascendants/immortals peek common angles they usually quickly one shot you due to them having their fundamentals.

Another day, another Banana! Thanks again, Coach! I haven't been playing recently because of upcoming finals, but I've enjoyed watching all your new and old videos, and I'm excited to try everything I've learned once I return to the states. You rock!!

[@SB-mr2nk]

This is one of the best videos you’ve ever posted and changed the way I think about playing valorant entirely. I see a different game that’s about predicting enemy head positions where before I saw a game of reaction time and hand eye coordination.

[@Nero_ssbm]

Hearing wavedashes, neutral game and other ssbm related terms on your channel is so nice, such a versatile coach 🙏🔥

[@simplebonsaigd1239]

Probably one of the most important vod reviews

[@LEGhellnah]

Helping the algorithm. Great vod!

[@oatmeal6527]

This video is perfect for me, might as well been my vod review because it tackled exactly some of my major issues in-game

[@danielnagy6477]

I've never played LoL for a second but I have a crush on my minimap ngl. I feel like whenever I have some problem in the game you just randomly post a video about it. Thank you Coach!

[@xasxter]

i love your videos cause every second is interesting and also informative, like i dont have to skip certain parts cause theres always something for me to learn. fantastic work 🔥

[@rarol1103]

You gotta do some chill streams where you play some fighting games, would be rlly cool to just play against viewers and stuff

[@tranvu_fgc]

The fighting game analogy is fucking perfect FGC people gets it

[@ridikelus4413]

yeah I used to play brawlhalla competitively for a long time and i just got this thought when I started playing val. Cuz every gunfight is basically a mini-game of who reads who better.

[@tranvu_fgc]

​@@ridikelus4413 the rock paper scissors element of fighting game's neutral game (yes, a game within a game for non fgc folks), how both you and your enemy are aware of all possible options both can go for, and make plays and counter plays, is what kept me interested in fighting games. and i bring everything i learnt from fighting games to all other competitive games i play. helps me alot

[@ridikelus4413]

This makes me want to submit a VOD as a WoW player, just to see if hooj has the analogies

[@Zaynthetollerdog]

Wow I learn so many things everytime I watch your videos ! Thanks

[@bamzoof]

I truly think a comprehensive video on the minimap could help higher-ranked players. I am Asc 3, peak Immo 2, and I frequently die cause I was looking at the minimap and just coped that it was "bad timing" (Arguably, it probably is. But things like these could've been avoided if I had known not to look, if I just had better timing, when to anticipate more, when to safely look at the minimap, etc.)

[@YangMin_ki]

I don't play Valorant, I don't think I'll ever get into the game....but man I love watching these VOD reviews. My main game is R6, while a lot of the specifics for what a player should do in Val doesn't quiet apply to it, there's a ton of value here regarding mindset and how one should be extremely aware of their own decision making. It doesn't hurt that you're just super entertaining to listen to anyways. Love the vids

[@Asbromovic]

Yk I'm really starting to just into this game and I've been watching stuff like this religiously. It's super helpful! I really related to the being sneaky part. I would literally sit in the weirdest places and go insane because no one expected such strange plays. I have 800 hours in csgo so my movement is great but not knowing where any enemies could be or how all the util worked made it impossible to use any other strat. The more I learn about this game the harder it gets low key because I realize so much more I was missing or I need that I don't have. For example when I first started playing I would just push a site and depend on aim. Now I start feeling uncomfortable when I don't have util or smokes etc to help me enter the site.These videos have really helped me fast track my progress as a player. My first rank was silver two with only 15 hours. I'm gonna keep at it and hope to climb further.

[@exstacc1886]

bro really just said 'valorant = mortal combat 3d'

[@owenmilledge8855]

So box box looks at his map too much out of habit, does that mean when holding it would be best to always peak and unpeak an angle to give time to look at the mini map? 1:56

"This is not league of legends, this is valorant" Best advice I could have taken from this.

[@tranquangkhoa3178]

Well actually happened to me too. Even worse I’m a control mage/ support player and my tendency to take a look at mini map is way too often especially in case there are no infos and gunfights. Usually I got swung while checking map with my crosshair literally on their head but yeah… For boxbox case I think he just assumed their whole team shiftwalked A as jett killed K/O.

Used to be immortal in Dota-2, when I started as a bronze player in valo I WAS AAAAALWAYS DYING WATCHING MY MINI MAP! Hard to switch games

[@theitalianmexican1035]

I relate to getting killed while looking at my minimap, but instead of my problem being that I look at it too often. My problem is that I have the most horrible luck known to man with people peeking me at the exact second I look away from my crosshair.

[@Systolic_Gaming]

26:20, aren’t you supposed to glance at your minimap when you hear gunfire? Sorry if Im misunderstanding the lightswitch.

Can you make a valorant guide for league players? I have the bad league habit of minimapping and focusing on macro over controlling my space, and I never realised until now. I already knew I did it like that but I always thought it was the best way to do it.

[@tinobalducci2842]

Dunno if Mr Banana answers here, but i feel it's important to ask. I am a controller main (Plat 2) and i face similar problems as fang with my duels. I think that doing the same things you told Fang to do will be beneficial to me down the way, but it seems to me that taking 55/45 duels as controller seems like a throw. Does this training routine apply for controllers or should i avoid it entirely?

After Fang got the kill on the reyna, the raze used her satchel below his feet before peeking and got the kill on him. I'm trying to put myself in her shoes, so is this a "good" way of trying to get the revenge or are there any better alternatives ? What to do in a situation similar to this one, but where I don't have any satchels/util ? In lower elo I guess I can just peek it and get the kill most of the time but what to do against higher elo opponents who expect it ? Or to rephrase it, how do I get the revenge correctly without getting rolled by a soon to be immortal chad with confidence like Fang, Mr. Banana?
