How To Get Good - Play Raw

It's easy to fall into the trap of finding every little special way you can win... and it's good that you're competitive, but don't let that trap you. If you start to rely on something to be able to win, when that's taken away, you will struggle. In my opinion, it's best to play as raw as possible, that way you rely more on yourself than anything else, and you can adapt to win.
After using 70 or so mice, I actually don't even rely on the mouse as much anymore. I'll usually find a way I can win regardless of what I'm using... see my review of my first gaming mouse to see an example of that: • Review Of My First Gam...
It's all about building your skill to the point you can adapt. So I'd advise not to use scripts or cheats or anything automated... learn the skills, build your abilities, and hopefully you'll understand the "freedom" I'm talking about.

[@JoeC_552]

Nice video, not only does this apply to quake but almost everything in life.

[@Smellyfupa]

My thoughts exactly . I've actually seen tons of gaming vids recently with this whole approach and it's aming cuz it crosses over to everything

[@deus_ex_machina_]

KaSalad Stone examples please?

[@Kakao-Felix]

Motivational Speech.

[@colinxiao7442]

I thought this was about mice and raw input in games...

[@colinxiao7442]

but good video

[@stephenlehane312]

not k0rin alol

[@JulianTrebes]

not k0rin thougt the same haha

[@7355G4B]

this is philosophical af, bless up Zy.

[@DeHox]

New all time favorite quote. "Be at peace with your failures"

[@Cpanpyro]

Such good advice for those that get "tunnel visioned" and getting locked into playing ONE WAY, and NOT seeing the potential, and as you say of, "...freedom", to reacting to your surrounding and situations. And with THAT, skills are developed.

[@1337wafflezz]

Your mentality is spot on honestly. You really do have the mindset of a professional player. As someone who is pretty decent at super smash brothers melee and trains to play competitively you are absolutely 100% correct and I can only imagine that the top players of that game would agree as well.

[@DarKcS2]

Play raw, just make sure she's on the pill.

[@yehs.6245]

dude, hahahaha

[@DarKcS2]

Make sure you plug it in to my USB3 not USB2 port ok?

[@shantideva30]

this is gold for the younger generation, wonderful mindset

[@Slaineh]

Don't forget as much as practicing your movement and aim is important, listening and using your sound is vital. Hearing where an enemy is based on weapon noises, footsteps, item pickups, reloading or even doors opening, allows you to pre aim, pre position or in games like quake, pre shoot a rocket to where you know they are heading. Knowing the maps also assists massively with this as well. Top work Zy :)

[@shaakeh]

Someone do a motivational video with this! This is gold! Zy, first I bought 2 mice because of you - both of which fit me 10/10 and I wouldn't have known without watching your videos. Second, you are bringing out the "How To Get Good" videos, and then this here which motivates me even more to go further. Thank you. Thank you so much!

[@RustyDurant]

Thanks for making videos like this Zy.

[@1d3d4f5s2d]

this was waaay deeper than just video games. good video man

[@myrinam]

This applies so well in all of life. Thank you for such a complex message in such a simple and effective way. Love your stuff.

[@raith8032]

Another addition of life lessons with Zy

[@theutgardianchannel1952]

one of my fav channels!!

[@phucnguyen0110]

Another motivational video, love it

[@ChrisTCPewdsCorgi]

#ZyForPresident

[@WindingDreams]

This felt more like a life lesson than a gaming lesson.

[@muuunchkin69]

I like this words of wisdom from you zy

[@KeitrenGraves]

That was very well said. I also think you would be an excellent teacher on quake as well

[@decnile168]

Lots of things to take away from this video. But keeping it about gaming, that's a pretty solid argument against hackers. And the reason why, even if they are trolling, they're just wasting their own time. That's LIT AF

[@vitas5333]

awesome video mate, as a starcraft player this hits hard

[@luckyloj0105]

Zy, ty so much, you literally inspired me to sports and helped me a lot, thank you so much!

[@stistko6551]

Ah i just wish you'll became more famous on ytb, cose you are someone with the head on the right place and every serious fps gamer should hear this :)

[@iTzDaNiiLo]

Words of wisdom Zy!

[@kimpoy1033]

Thank you for the tips

[@KingYakko01]

I feel so inspired! Thanks man!

[@johnnycigar7699]

Hey! needed this. Not for Quake but for counterstrike. I constantly change my settings thinking there's something wrong with my crosshair or thinking there is something else wrong after losing a league game. Even though it helps me for a couple of games, it doesn't help me at all in the long run if I really want to improve and play in the proleague!

[@tuiskuaanismaa9504]

REE REE in cs i reccomend sticking with same settings

[@dova-pug7972]

zy you are da best channel

[@jetpil0t]

My little tip, from someone who has been playing competitively since Quake 1: Play even when you would rather not, while maintaining a positive attitude towards failures. It's harnessing the right mindset that is the key to getting enough hours to ramp up towards developing the rewarding feeling of "getting good" and developing advanced skills. Nothing better than being on the same level or beating someone you would yourself consider quite skilled, or even better than yourself. Thoroughly rewarding.

[@muhammadsarimmehdi]

This went like a real-life motivational speech, bravo

[@cgheezey1]

excellent!! i love it!!

[@turmoil7825]

Very good video!

[@mamAmojj]

Almost cried. That is some deep shit there. Good video!

[@MrMirofl]

Nice video man!

[@mingchiman5645]

Great vids. Keep it up.

[@kar8497]

This is your best video.

[@crowlevan1208]

I watched for the quake tips, but what I got was motivation I didn't know I needed.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Gotta love it. Also just uploaded some actual Quake Tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHOXfIueid95hpo

[@crowlevan1208]

Those are some very useful tips, definitely couldve saved me from getting fragged on the jump pads.

[@meerkatmatt1182]

great videos man

[@RyujiMulti]

Motivational as always Zy, love the vid! btw, can you review the new Qck+ Limited Edition pad? cheers~

[@linkerchitwaing]

Hey bro great video! Love your reviews very detailed and in depth Was wondering if u could do a review on the Cougar Ultimus Keyboard much appreciated!

[@LunatiqHigh]

I think this is my favorite video of yours by far. I've lost that drive to get better all the time like I used to be. I love ARENA FPS / but I can't stand trying to get everyone to play something like CTF. I hate that pickup channels are still a thing. lol. I've been spoiled by massively popular games where you don't have to beg to build a team or to play a game. My Quake movement has become shit and I want to improve it/ but it feels like a waste of time due to the insanely small community. maybe I should just suck it up and go balls deep back into Quake series again with CHampions around the corner.

[@josh-tp3sd]

Thank you.

[@Sadelity]

Very motivational

[@ddogsquarepants]

Great vid mate

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Thanks!

[@daddyraksa2228]

I fucking love your videos And this one was one of the best so far I play CS:GO and I've never used anything to help me get better at it (because you can't) if you use cheats you will NOT get better at the game nor with scripts You have to train your muscle memory for sprays , you have to have good reaction and aim for flicks and avioding flashes and stuff And most importantly a good gamesense this is the most important in my opinion because even if your aim isn't the best but you know where your enemies can be and you are ready for them then you can kill them, help your team and win the game.

[@leef9834]

Great vid Zy. Can i request an Artisan Hayate mouse pad review?

[@dhanter]

You sound a like zen guru. I like it.

[@woodybob01]

love this vid

[@Webster2000]

time for another episode of life lessons with zy

[@Nyxzy343]

So so so so so cool.

[@whiteRice330]

ty for this video. I stopped using my macros and did just fine without them today.

[@TheRealFaceyNeck]

I finally started to pull off the rocket jumps from bridge-to-rocket-to-yellow-armor consistently a couple days ago. I definitely went through over 20,000 rockets by myself in Campgrounds. It's probably closer to 80,000 rockets, not including any rockets used when actually playing against/with bots or players. Now I'm hoping I can learn to not suck at Clan Arena. I'm okay in Free-For-All, horrible at Clan Arena, I wish it were the other way around because Clan Arena is my favorite game mode.

[@phenex8190]

Spoken like a true pro

[@peter3337]

Your reviews for mice are the best hands down. Can you review the g203 (g102) and compare it to the g pro and g303

[@ajahajah]

can you make a guide on fov settings? thanks

[@dawgdog69]

good talk zy :-)

[@stachujones317]

Holy movement

[@NamesReed]

ever thought about reviewing the g203? Curious about the new sensor and if the g-pro is worth it anymore.

[@viggoekmark3013]

Should i get logitech g pro or 403 wireless i have small hands but i really want wireless! Thanks.

[@zuffin1864]

I wouldn't doubt it if rocket jumping and surfing are your two of many different ways of expressing your freedom

[@Joe-ds2cz]

Zy! Can you do review from QPAD 8k (optical or laser or both)? I'd love to watch and see what you think. I'm watching gaming mice videos just for knowing what should I buy when I buy, and I'm buying a new gaming mouse like after next xmas lol. I just want to know what's really the best for me, and think it long, because that's who I am. I'm watching everything for like one year before buying if it has something to do with gaming mouse or headset or keyboard, or pc, and you are doing well job with reviews, and if u have reviewed something I think would be great, I'm watching yours video before anyone others video.

[@trevordevine6560]

Words of wisdom.

[@bradleyfjr5391]

nice dude, nice.

[@christheophilus7154]

hello zy, i wanted to know if you have any tips on what to do when youre friends keep calling you bad at a game. pretty much everytime i play vs my friends they are always calling me bad and its pretty discouraging and it makes me not want to play.

[@KillianBlake]

This is how I feel about bopping in csgo. Took me a year and a half to be able to confidently land hops in competitive games and not just slow myself and team down

[@genobee99]

thx zy jeje

[@spitfire219]

Hello Zy, can you check the new Logitech g203 prodigy? Thanks

[@KotauFPS]

"adaptability is important" says the pharah one trick pony Kappa j/k ninja, luv u

[@craigbeade8654]

i would play phara all the time if i was that good with rockets

[@plasmaoctopus1728]

in a way, pharah is probably the most versatile character as long as the player is good at predicting enemy movements and has good aim. Just have a good mercy player with you and you are unstoppable! (ok not literally but its annoying lol)

[@2eyesxtreme142]

hi Zy any tips to improve reaction time ? my reaction time is around 210 ms and i wanna improve it to around 150 ms

[@bigmoneymystic]

do a review on the k95 platinum.

[@AlagomSwede]

Have you ever tried the razer ouroboros? I'm looking for a larger style mouse but I'm unsure if it's right for me.

[@catzybluphish1058]

Which Quake game is being shown in this video?

[@harmony4733]

good video this one

[@killertank984]

Can you do a review of Logitech G 203

[@kr1sg279]

Hi Zy ,i have a question that kills my mind ,so i am wondering between Asus sica vs Logitech g203 prodigy vs Rival 100.Help me to pick one ,same price.Grip doesnt matter ,size too.

[@KingKris1K]

So dope

[@jamesaylward2303]

What do you mean by rocket jump script?

[@RenanSiX]

Hey, what do you recommend to clawgrip, hand size 18.5x9.5. G Pro or G403 to Overwatch?

[@mikerfields]

Nice Video

[@dfmdirt_rally8262]

I wholeheartedly agree. I have been playing this way since day one and never looked back. :) Funny though, as you say "diversity is key" at 2:12, you do the same side-wall-rocket-jump you did before (which should have been aimed a little lower due to less speed), and miss the bridge. ^^

[@ranger_1472]

I was playing CSGO one time and I was playing at my full potential with what knowledge I have of the game so far and right now I can't seem to bring it out again.

[@user-rf2gb8kt7w]

Pls review the Razer Diamondback

[@quakercrackers4262]

Thank you so much for this video! A few days ago I started 'legit' cheating so I thought i'd be a better player. Just today I turned them off, I sucked for the first hour, but I was just as good as with cheats like back then.

[@el3vata59]

that was some realtalk

[@azarashikamen4098]

but disabling self and friendly fire damages are ok?

[@ladjiab]

what is your primary gaming mice

[@1InVader1]

Totally my mentality in life.

[@Bruh-hn1xi]

What quake does s this

[@EdGeyy]

gota love dm17

[@Steven-dt2sh]

Zy will you try out Quake Champions?

[@Martenbiter]

have you ever tried rocket jumping in TF2? its quite fun!

[@ambidex0med]

You don't lose hp when rocking jumping?

[@michaelhaley1612]

+Rocket Jump Ninja you have to be one of the best Quake players in the world, i have heard you mention that you dont play in the competitive pro seen, why not? you have such a great outlook. you have honed your skills and deserve the chance to achieve even more greatness. I understand that you do not care about money or prestige but wouldn't it be more about proving yourself?

[@kraken7784]

Hey man have you tried titanfall 2? I think you'd like it

[@HL_Eminence]

Nice. It was the same for B-hoping in Counter-Strike. I used to use a keybind and it was easy. But it could never get up to the true speed of real B-hop. So I said fuck it and learned. Now it's great. I can travel much faster and hit hops without a spacebar spam keybind.

[@highestsettings]

Nothing wrong with using tools too help you learn though. I regularly use cheats in CS:GO (not while playing online obviously) to see or reduce spread to train my timing and recoil control for example. Once I got that down, I trained without those aids. Now I can do it in game as second nature. You need to learn, but learning as quickly as possible is the best course of action.

[@yehs.6245]

how much is Quake Live?

[@Lagahan]

What sensitivity and DPI do you use? Seems like it would have to be higher than what I use (primarily play CSGO but have the same sensitivity in all shooters) to spin like that for the rocket jumping.

[@reslario]

1600 DPI and 0.85 sensitivity (~30.6 cm/360)
