Whoever says hes angry is probably some random who doesnt understand what coaching is

[@expiredjellybeans]

​@@sondo301_your the least harmful person in my lobbies in any case

[@nateol2]

I don't think it's rude necessarily but certain things like "are we serious? what are we doing here?" usually rub people the wrong way because it's not really constructive tbh like it's obvious the player doesn't know better and saying stuff like that is just kinda patronizing but at the end of the it shows you care and you're putting in effort to teach so that's a good thing@@sondo301_

[@lichto9828]

Personally speaking. For anyone who says he's angry. I'd like a coach like him who's more up front about what I'm doing wrong rather than sugar coating it. It's a game, and I'd like to get better at it.

[@sondo301_]

[@sondo301_]

Thank you buddy

[@f.u.n.5283]

@@sondo301_ sure. I would have a question. Since we should slow down and kinda aim and confirm before stopping/shooting, is it the same for peeking? Like for example when you know a position or angle of an opponent, should you keep walking and make sure you hit or is it better in that situation to just stop a bit sooner using the small momentum (since it still takes a few ms till being accurate) to aim and shoot then? hope you understand what I mean.

i like the way u talk and explain bro its easy to focus i really learnt alot eventhough im a low elo player thx so much

the first example can apply but the thing is that u have to make sure that it is an isolated duel as by swinging u are exposing yourself to other angles in this e.g. drop

yw bro i actually learned stuff from this video unlike the other videos@@sondo301_

[@vermillionranger8558]

That was one of my problems, not in this game as I've never played it. But I just did random stupid stuff until I told myself to stop playing scared, it's a video game, then I slowed things down and thought through things until I could make the calculations faster and faster, but it took slowing it down and not panicking like I'm going to die in real life. This guy's methods are sound. Also don't let teammates get in your head.

[@archidux1079]

Got severe illness and was on bed for a month. I was gold 2 before but now I fell back to silver 2. I wanna improve bad but I don't know how and where to start.

[@poopcheek]

I'm sorry to hear about your illness, My suggestion is to *improve mechanics* (crosshair placement, 1st bullet acc, etc.) In silver rank good mechanics have the potential to get you up all the way to plat. If that's not enough and you feel in your fights you 'panic' then, try understanding the game to a deeper level; the more you understand about enemy behavior (including utility), the more confidence you'll have when peeking or taking a fight. Hopefully that helps

[@sondo301_]

You know where to start, vod review and see what issues you have. You got this brother feel better soon!

i want to ask why would he rotate if there is 0 info on the map or from the team comms he is going blind there could have been someone late pushing a main and getting the timing on him (no hate just a general question)

[@sondo301_]

Now worries bro. Typically you don’t want to stay for long, you aren’t an anchor and it’s about using what the enemies have been doing in prior rounds to make your decisions. You don’t want to be too late on rotations as duelist. Woohoojin talks about this a lot.

[@axelv525]

For 2:17 when he peeked the op he was hugging wall with his crosshair, if he had peeked pre aimed on the tucked chamber would that have been better since he would have peeked at a T angle? Or would it just be better to do as the coach said and jump spot?

[@axelv525]

Also does anyone know why during 8:35 he would have rotated at 1:32? I didn’t see anything on the minimap to indicate they were b since no one was looking b main

[@r1n3at13]

@@axelv525 honestly im rad and u make a better coach than him these points are more useful to note than the points the coach gave

[@ARU-THLESSGUY]

@@axelv525 idk abt the op part but for rotating i think he would have rotated at 32 js like the coach said bc kayo had dish cleared and there was no sound in a main whereas no one was checking b main. I would have rotated but they might have been waiting at a main and if i were in a game and that happened w me, my toxic randoms would have made me mute them ahaha

[@HappyVLR]

I would jump spot, it was the better option (in my opinion), you jump spot him, you know his location, pick op and prefire him and easy kill, thats what I would have done

[@wodkdnwiwondsn]

you can just prefire or fast peek if u know theres a high chance he is there to secure a kill

hey i have a question for 8:58 what if the enemy decided to stay for like more than 20 seconds ? should i just rotate in 1.32 ? because i met some team that waited for more than 10 seconds before entering.

[@r1n3at13]

adapt. For one round its fine sure but if they keep doing it, hold it for 20 instead of 10, u dont always have to do what the coach says use your own thinking to adapt your gameplay to suit the opponents the best. At the end of the day the coach is not playing for you he is just showing you the techniques to use for your own thinking.

[@CrowToe16]

I was questionable about his advice here as well. I think it ultimately depends on the comp and pace of the enemy team. As a general rule, rotating quickly off realizing there is no utility is not a bad thing if you haven’t been burned by a fake or lurk yet. Especially with an operator since retaking with an Op isn’t usually in your favor. But anchoring A main like that is not a bad thing either, as it allows for early info if they are faking B and with the op, a potential kill on a lurker. With a vandal, it would probably be better to jiggle A main if you end up being the solo anchor (All of your team has rotated to B already for example). All in all his coaching advice of thinking is simple, but extremely important. The right play to do in that scenario depends on multiple factors. Has the enemy just been 5 hitting a site, do they usually end at the site they first show presence, do they have a lurker, have we been burned on fakes, am I going to have time to rotate and create impact or is holding the space more important, etc.

[@VoidBL]

How can i stop this habit. I notice it but in the heat of the moment it just happens. Should i just stick to getting used to aiming before shooting for a week or two strictly doing nothing but tdm? I just think while in game I do fine if I'm thinking about taking my time but at times i just start zoning out and losing easy fights because i shoot before aiming properly. I just started playing 3 weeks ago not just Val but PC in general and it has been an interesting experience. Some days i feel like i am improving dramatically and then other days i feel like i just get one shot nonstop. I do play on a 60hz monitor and am planning on upgrading to a 280hz pretty soon.
