[@Tuw4k]

The only problem about this video is it's only 9 minutes!!! That was some pretty good tips by Hiswattson and you and boom are truly star pupils!

[@JoshwaLaw]

Honestly, I liked the shorter video, as much as I love apex, im not the biggest fan of gameplay videos, but I do love learning how the pros play, and this video is perfect for learning the tips, and then seeing them applied in game lol at least for me, this is a perfect video haha (tho the more tips the better 😂)

[@benjaminwilliams2772]

This would be a great series to continue: each video ~10min long, with no more than 3 tips per video. Fantastic advice-I'm about to practice it now :)

[@AwareOCE]

Man I would love to have a private coaching session with Hiswattson, Im jealous 😭

[@kandyrew]

you can! i left a link to his coaching page

[@michinaps]

His Wattson teaching Empathy and Compassion ❤ Def what all Apex players need

[@JumperSnoop]

For real 😂

[@TigerKwan]

alot of this information is really interesting! instead of targeting raw mechanics like aim or movement etc it's really about his game knowledge through positioning. How does your positioning alter what your enemy and what you see. If you're in a tight corridor change what your opponent sees aka leave the tiny corridor. Move back to turn a ledge/window into a head glitch. match the velocity of your opponent to "slow them down"

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

00:00 - Intro. 00:20 - Peeking back. Don't stand on the edge. 01:58 - Mirroring. Positioning. 03:48 - Avoid doors and small areas. 07:08 - One more challenge.

[@misfit2734]

Oh thank you, I had mistakenly thought the intro was at 00:30

[@jeremymichaeljackson8935]

Hiswattson is goated glad to see this collab

[@AmazzzzingGrace]

I believe in the HisWattson difference. Amazing video as always Kandy! 💜

[@JohnTepopo]

Watching pro players on my team play, during gameplay and also spectating them I learn a lot from it because you can also teach yourself new things in the moment without having to pay someone to teach you

[@TigerKwan]

The second tip is also good for one clipping at range. By strafing you eliminate (partially) horizontal recoil so you just drag down and to the "corner" away from your movement. thank you taxi :)

[@Boomrazzle]

That really is the HisWattson difference

[@toma2ketchup]

never thought hiswattson could be this chill as a coach wow

[@ThunderBlastvideo]

HisWattson is cracked. Anything he says is super helpful

[@Fxceless]

Dude, great tips. And amazing editing and entertainment kandy, sick bro! keep up the good work! I'm trying to get better myself. What a good game.

[@Sir_bacon.]

I love you kandy ❤

[@pxartfun4688]

I really have dirty mind cuz in the first,i just read daddy💀💀

[@KudaDM]

About mirroring and strafing, another advantage of doing it is that it eliminates recoil, or ar least it diminishes.

[@xSociety]

The empathy and compassion line made me pause the video to laugh hard af.

[@riikki___]

3rd tip is very good, and called the 'fatal funnel'. even without dodging being a concern your putting yourself on a pedastal for any shooter by lingering around a door

[@MrAnonymouscrazy]

Boom: AGRRRRGFFAAEELLLKJ I’m getting shot 🤣🤣🤣 Banger video!

[@jhonm6347]

"if I stop trolling will my gameplay get better?"😆

[@earellereckley4085]

Boom is like kandy mean older cousin that comes over and eats all your snacks

[@yeetman5972]

How nice of HisWattson to collab with small KZbinrs

[@mendyexile2507]

That was great content thank you. Very refreshing

[@XIII-TheBlackCat]

One thing that helped me is using the smaller dot WITHIN your aim dot. There's always a smaller dot.

[@takumistarsteam7709]

pro level player sure built different, thanks for a great video

[@toxixmanemalo5932]

Let's goooo. A nother legendary upload. Keep up the amazing content. You always make my day better when you upload so thank you :)

[@BlameAimAssist1717]

“I’ll probably forget abt it by tomorrow” 😂😅😢

[@keithgoh123]

This was very educational.

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

Today I learned something new.

[@kindbutangry]

8:37 scream 💛

[@zues491]

you should hire a coach and give them joke footage just like messing with players or teammates just like being idiots

[@Awesome_Bee]

Thanx for the video ) I would love to see what tips hiswattson could offer to win more 1v1 fights. Like, what strafing methods (short, medium, with or without crouching etc.) are better/more effective and so on.

[@djethreii]

maybe try hiring District next? I've learned a lot just from watching his videos and shorts.

[@o1ken_ez]

tip 2 is your average 9th grade relative motion lesson in class(but if you applied that In-game)

[@eljhones18]

6:21 "now that hiswattson has embarrassed me" Me an Spanish native: hiswattson lo embarazó 🗿

[@Momo-hh6er]

This is why HisWattson is the GOAT

[@The-Secret-Dragon]

Boom roasting Kandy never gets old

[@Rushx415]

Ty for sharing kandy 🎉

[@HisWattson]

💪🤓

[@BonesTheCat]

I'm learning Apex again and I make those mistakes. Thank you.

[@ellooku]

The reason why I am always in the top 3 in matches. The reason why my teammates die immediately once they touch the ground is because they follow no rules, and the reason they insult and exit is because they think I am stupid.

[@SenpaiSwft]

Pretty sure a couple years ago this is how I found you ❤

[@Acydxs]

I love how with the title and thumbnail I knew exactly who it was

[@kivsa85]

Great stuff Thx

[@ShadeDemon2423]

Oh my god, it’s my favorite apex player, kandy is pretty cool too

[@kevinbaires4279]

Great vid man

[@tsunam1waves801]

It's criminal to be this early to the video and not be subscribed so I'm going to change that

[@frankaxe6700]

Oh heck yeah Iam about to use these thanks kandy boom and master his Watson

[@xvieternal3352]

hal mad at the title🤣

[@LiamCharles-d1w]

How are they on Olympus if it isn’t in the map rotation right now

[@NLemessage]

Tip 1. Don't use 30-30

[@chromezify7182]

The fact your masters this season

[@drakootherat1735]

Guys tipo 2 is just basic general relativity lets GOOOOO

[@Scrapzilla69]

7:26 “you can stand right here look” 7:27 right up on the edge 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@notawsomexvi3616]

Thanks for the amazing free tips

[@AndyBaedal]

Lol awesome! Next how about ImperialHal? Lmao

[@IssaUserName]

People hear me tweak over 60 40 rules in gaming but its such a fantastic addition to a basic toolbox

[@Gruesomeb]

Would have been nice to see Hodsic in your video.

[@vimalvarghese9534]

Nice content

[@xottekc3836]

We saw hiswattson, but where is real pro apex player (taxi)?

[@FaZe_Nikolei]

Finally a new video

[@sayamqazi]

For tip 3 about pipes etc it changed if there are mutiple teams in tight circle and l players are skilled. You can actually rely on the fact that team 3 can shoot team 2 if team 2 tried to shoot me from this or that angle etc

[@DarkDyllon]

in most cases a pipe is just a bad idea, only really good if you have no other cover, for example if you get pinched between 2 teams and the only safe spot is within that pipe. but then you want to be looking into escaping that pipe ASAP, since you only got 2 exits, meanwhile if any of the 2 teams pinching you come closer, they can easily either toss nades into the pipe or just literally use any weapon and spray into the middel of it and hitting 99% of their shots, melting you and your team near instant. granted, not many pipes you can enter in Apex, but pipes are just in general a really bad idea, it's the same as being stuck in a small corridor with an enemy on the door. you got 2 exits, to the door and contest it, or back up and go around the corner taking their advantage away. if you gotta push through a corridor and an enemy team is there, atleast contest the door near instant, just sit infront of it. (bonus if your team can capatalize off that, a lot of enemies want to open that door and will do near anything to do that) but at the same time, if you can't get past that door and you know it, just stay away, since the enemies teammates can flank you and just pinch you in a corridor, the only way out being a wraith tactical.

[@ImPeterrr]

good one

[@yo_gsbro]

Does kandy give away candy?

[@pakman311]

But whom is better Kandy or Boom? Hmmm

[@catpunk161]

i only read "best apex pro" and imidiatly knew its gonna be watos

[@Kavilion]

I play with people way better than me and it’s very frustrating to be put in a lobby way above me and to be the reason we lose 😔

[@themaker9152]

Funny part is most of what pros preach is actually what comes naturally by implying logic and sense over time.. depending on the game u play..thats being said..i only apply this at ranked most of the time though 😜 i play gun blazing...yet thats. Avery helpful video even i learned few things as well

[@MatthewSmith2220]

K, so I like HisWattson and tips 1 and 3 make sense to me. However on tip 2, when you mirror your opponents movement, doesn't that also make it easier for your opponent to shoot you as well? Would that always be a good idea?

[@astraha.]

its a matter of perspective. U already know why u mirror your enemys movement but the enemy still needs to figure that one out. If the enemy isnt a total good player it might caught him off guard. Strafing isnt really that simple because of factors like gun, how much cover, legend, hitbox, health, enviroment etc. my point is, strafing to make urself advantage and get a easier time to hit ur shots can change drastically. Sometimes mirroring ur enemys movement can be a bad idea. For exsample u might expose urself to another angle and get shot. I can go on but u get the point. Theres more to strafing and therefore has a relative high skill ceiling and requires knowledge.

[@makobobinzers]

mirroring is best used when tracing moving enemies that are running away from you/not shooting atyou

[@mr_tete]

User @@astraha. explanation is good. It's basically the equivalent of "Shooting first". You and your enemy can both do it, but the one shooting first is going to be ahead

[@astraha.]

@@mr_tete Because its Apex, shooting first doesnt necessary mean its a win, u are ahead but it depends on how far ahead u are to make it less winable. The first few bullets from a spitfire wont make a difference when I can 1 mag with a r99. Also consider the range of the fight, obiviously we assume its all close range, so no worries but its still something to consider. However, weapons and all that stuff aside. Strafing and the psychology behind it when done right in front of an enemy is a very skillful thing. Truly impressive. So many things so consider and then doing a good strafe to avoid taking too much damage and putting urself into an advantagous position is a incredible thing to do.

[@mr_tete]

@@astraha. what I'm trying to say is this. The whole point of the mirroring is so that you can can better hit/shoot your opponent without missing. Mirroring slows down their movement(hence the comet example Hiswatson) gave. And you want to have more accuracy and consistency because that's what matters in a gunfight. With all things being constant, like Skill level, Armor, equipment, etc. The one who employ the strategy to give oneself an advantage(in this case mirroring) is going to win. Now you're not completely wrong. You can mirror to put yourself at a disadvantage. But that's a whole another issue borne out of very specific scenario which should not be mentioned in debates such as this.

[@forceking4082]

KANDY GUESS WHAT hi

[@otter.edit.1]

i love your videos, keep going!

[@Drashwins]

all tips seems obvious but to apply them in game is challenging.. i suck at shooter but first tip i do unconsciously in every single first person games even skyrim with the bow xD

[@Rievven]

Yeah when I hang back they just hit headshots.

BoomRazzle? you mean TSM Invitational BoomRazzle?

[@lucky.07.isaaclopez3]

can you do the horizon heirloom review‼️‼️🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jamess8407]

I don't know how much he charges, but I bet he makes a ton from his coaching! There isnt a single amateur - professional player that wouldn't want him as a coach! Even just for a few lessons!

[@kandyrew]

he charged $100 an hour which isn’t too much considering his amount of experience! he takes a few sessions a week and just does it because he enjoys helping people, truly a W human being

[@t_k_]

lol this was great, had me grinning from beginning to end. good work👍🏽

[@mimik9193]

Perfect 👍

[@GodLoki29]

the guy that just got catfished haha

[@nategomes1719]

Boom was just getting hard carried by Hal and extessy in twitch rivals.

[@TopDesu]

Verryy nice

[@kandyrew]

❤️❤️

[@marquisadavis]

My friend carried HisWattson to a win about a month ago... clutched the 3v1. It was pretty awesome to watch on his stream.

[@bogey375]

TOP 10 things that never happened: what you just said

[@xCausinChaosx]

@@bogey375 I mod for wattson, it happens

[@pxartfun4688]

A question!if he can go diamond and play well(im talking about kandy)then can't i,i play this game since s1 and i play like silvers!can anyone give me some tips cuz if i don't improve,maybe i will just quit apex!

[@woswasdenni1914]

3 very basic tips, theres a lot more to peeking, timings, even choice of gun in a 1v1 to start and what to swap to. when change mags instead of swapping etc

[@cody3504]

Short story: Never hire Hiswattson as a coach (:

[@phuklehead]

Attttta boiiii

[@EpicBenjo]

Make me your third! Plz

[@Eradicationist]

this tells me hisWattson cant draw

[@cody3504]

Pro tip: Go to the firing range and practice against bots!! smh

[@iStuwie]

Thanks for showing me the tips!

[@franmannn69]

Watson academy graduates 😭😭😭😭

[@dpe4577]

[@Colnis]

Why this video only 9 mins WTF

[@PerryCali]

W Video. Very Sub worthy

[@stephenpaige4963]

Love the video. I feel like it could have even used more of your banter. After watching Boom's vod seems like a lot wasn't included.

[@IceMan-nt9op]

Great tips just dont work against 3 stack preds

[@HopefulReaper]

amazing video Kandy, hope you keep remembering those tips that hiswattson gave you

[@WYIT0]

But pillarboxes in wartime? Everything I've learned. Wasted. 😢

[@xavieroquendo2026]

[@LowDiff76]

I actually really enjoy these style vids like pros giving little tips like this it’s how I got hood when I first started

[@hugobass1049]

Friend, at 1:21 minute mark, your aim does something very strange and suspicious.
