[@nestormenezes9975]

can u do a diffusig guide like every situation and how to play lineups when to stick when to tap

[@PoGuy12]

Question. Does this whole conditioning and fake rotating work in low elo like iron-bronze. Because I’m this elo it seems like aim and knowing when to rotate is what’s needed most.

[@twico3374]

Cool

[@opgamer9296]

@@PoGuy12 yes fake rotates would for sure work in iron and bronze since they almost immediately rotate when a site is shown with presence but tbh i didnt really do this in iron and bronze I just worked on otherstuff (but i mean im gold so idk if you want to listen to me) (im just starting to learn defaults at more depth)

[@PoGuy12]

@@opgamer9296 ok cool thanks! The issue is trying to think like a (now bronze) so it’s like are they gonna insta rotate? Or are they gonna anchor a site after spikes planted like what I’ve seen from my teammates? I’m trying to learn game sense and work on my aim whenever I play but I just don’t understand how to get better in game when there’s only tidbits to learn from. Like half of it is gun diff/timing diff/frames diff (I get 50) so hopefully these vids will help

[@austinzhu7432]

This guy posts the best guides. Concise, understandable, and useful.

Facts

[@icon-emerald9517]

Sero, I need a guide on Defense, specifically knowing when to hold and when to Push\Flank, Ive noticed most of the games Ive lost on Defense were because Me or my teammates were too aggressive and died off site or just being overwhelmed and unable to hold site.

[@wong267]

coming soon btw

[@riker8214]

I’m not Sero but I feel like it’s not worth it to peek at the start of the round unless you have a dash, TP, or dismiss. I wouldn’t get impatient and push up unless I know all the enemies were on the other site. If you only see 3 or 4 on site that should tell you there are others lurking about in sneaky spots. Flanking only works when you don’t do it every round. Good luck

[@Bighomer5]

Is your team capable of stalling them? Consider flanking. Will they get overwhelmed? Rotate normally. And if you don't have info on either the spike or like four players, then mind that they could rotate.

[@riker8214]

Oh also, if you push up you don’t always need to engage. I’ve got so many free kills from taking map control and waiting. If the enemies try to hit a site as 5 and it doesn’t work then you’ll be in a great spot to mow them down on their rotation

[@lukereiter93]

Almost always hold and flank only once or twice a game

[@xyro843]

Literally the best coach I see on KZbin

[@DanielHebell]

1st default guide that nails it. Btw 3:13 (just holding angles, waiting for defender pushes - preferably at long range) is called anti-eco, my friends. You do it whenever your opponent has not enough money to buy rifles. It can lead into A) a default or B) a 4 or 5-man push of your team towards one extremity during mid / late round.

[@walterwhite13]

Just a question: when you are attacking and the defenders are on an eco buy, isn't it better to just 5-man rush one site and overwhelm them with your superior firepower? As opposed to playing 'anti-eco' and risk losing a weapon (for eg getting one-tapped with a sheriff with no one to trade you) by splitting up on a default?

[@DanielHebell]

@@walterwhite13 very good question! The reason you want to play an anti-eco round on attacker side is to counterplay typical (and logical) defender-ecos. Those are A) stacking 1 site with the majority of the defenders. The reason behind it is to just 'gamble' 1 bomb site. If they get lucky and the attackers choose to push that site, the defenders have a very good chance of overwhelming the attackers with advantages defender positions and traps they set up (e.g. Playing shotguns) B) another way defenders tend to play ecos is by aggressively pushing one position on the map with the majority of their players. This way the attackets very often can be surprised, giving the defenders a foot into the round. C) of course the defenders can also choose to just play a standard Def setup. The goal of anti-eco rounds is to get the info which of the above is happening OR at least which is the most likely scenario. As soon as you know or have an idea of where the majority of the defenders are, you pick up the bomb, group up and push the site, that is the least populated. This way you minimize running into traps. Feel free to ask follow up questions if there are any :)

[@jeremiahpereyra1217]

But if your on anti eco, isnt it less risky to just default? Bc what if the enemy doesnt push, or they gamble a site holding for pushes? Then what? If you default you midigate the risk of them gambling a site and they are going to try to rotate the site you go, by defaulting you can go for 1v1s or 2v1s and win by having better guns

[@rabbgod5219]

@@jeremiahpereyra1217 now im purely guessing here but i suppose if you anti eco the defender are practically forced into making an action, if the gamble a site and don‘t hear anything for the first 30 seconds they will most likely just rotate, if they push you instantly know and can comit to another site. If they don‘t show any reaction they most likely play a regular defender setup at which point you can probably just 5 man rush a site or transition into playing default

[@joloos7013]

its called playing for picks not anti eco

[@TriantafyllosTsiakiris]

Sero: You should leave the spike in a safe place when defaulting 80% of players: Drops the spike as the round starts so the enemy can hear it.

[@romanmrozek]

Hi I am editor for 6 years and must to say: this is insane!! You had to edit this for whole week! Definitely the best guide and edit what i see to explain. Keep going man.

That opens my eyes completely. I've never noticed anything like that or I've never thought like that ingame. Thank you Sero!!!

[@icarbonised4655]

i feel like i learn a lot more from sero than i do from other guide channels, thank you

[@fraggyeco7555]

bro, you're like next gen fps tutorial youtuber, jesus christ, you didn't say a single extra thing or use any extra words, it blows my mind how quickly you explain things

[@Viridian084]

The fact he edits Agent icons on a map to match game play clips (Sova holding A main for Chamber push -> kill, Omen mid smoking from Tiles for Mid control) actually makes following/comparing the information slightly easier.

[@TravelingMooseMedia]

I love how intelligent the Valorant KZbin community is. I wish Apex KZbinrs would make videos specializing in strategy and game sense rather than “how to do this specific mechanic” or “how to improve aim”. It’s rare

[@ace-qj8ql]

I remember when u still had only 40k subs or smth like that, now ur at 200k. Keep up the good work!

[@real_pewtato]

The GOAT 🐐 of valorant guides. I always thought i knew what defaulting means but i still learned so much from this video. Absolutely the best guide i've seen.

[@PeachfulSoju]

I remember when just a few months ago you were at 20k subs, and now you are at 200k. Your growth is amazing, keep pushing out these heat content 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@notffreak]

This is by far your best video, mindblowing amount of information, great fucking job Sero!

[@miish_gamiing]

Hey, sero. After watching your aiming guides, among the others that i have binge watched, I went from bot fragging in my earlier games to dropping a 30 bomb in my recent one. The PREMS warmup takes time but it does hit hard. So, thanks man. Keep up the awesome work.

[@mrintense7730]

simple information with right delivery and edit is what makes your vids a huge success. I hope you get the recognition u deserve

[@jakewood1942]

Easily the best free coach on KZbin I freaking LOVE your videos

[@vvsprr]

This is probably one of the best explained and detailed video out there that I've seen so far

[@chinonotonyoutube]

Bro fr, this was the type of video I was looking for immensely. I need in depth explanations on different strategies and tactics for a team and not just individual skills and habits which is just useless unless you're cracked asf

[@saamofn]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm in silver and I had a guy telling us he wanted to default. In his version he just pushes alone as Jett and dies and I had no idea what he wanted us to do... Teammates didn't have mics either so I doubt we could have pulled it of😅

[@silk_keys479]

Actually SO useful! Thank you so much for these in depth guides, they help me really understand the game.

This was the vid i needed when I started playing the game. I probably would still be playing this game if focused on vids like these instead of only watching aim training vids and getting tilted whenever I miss shots.

[@monstwrclaw7964]

One of the few guide KZbinrs that brings points that are mostly unheard of. Nice video 👍🏼

[@_conquered]

You have helped me improve so much. I have went from silver to diamond with aim training, improved gamesense, and playing with my team and using util.

[@MrWasian]

I can't wait to see you hit 500k and then 1 mill bro. Your guides are literally the best out there, no bs and to the point!!!

[@SantanuSikder]

8:36 "Meanwhile the smoke agent should be holding the C long push, since their utilities can be used across the whole map"; Brimstone casually got ignored as a smoke agent 😂 (BTW who even uses brim on Haven). Very informative video, man. Keep it up!

[@riker8214]

The way he plugged his bad teammates guide was pretty good. Fr tho your teammates aren’t always as dumb as you think. If they don’t know what a default is, try explaining it to them and they will probably try it.

[@lucasfit9008]

FINALLY ANOTHER UPLOAD!! I'VE IMPROVED SO MUCH THANKS TO YOUR METHODS. Can you upload another version about prems method or a better version of it?

That's it, that's what everyone needs. You can easily be Ascendant if you have good crosshair placement, good decals and a brain. No real need to train on aimlab every day if you don't wanna hit Immortal 2 or more. Can't wait for another vidéo like that :D

[@shankvidi]

Sero’s the only guide we need.

[@Nik-ji5ck]

I know you have already done some aim guide videos but you mostly talk about improving your aim and method... i really want you to do video about strafing, tapping, bursting, spraying, wallbanging... it would really help me. Thanks for your videos Sero they are awesome!

[@11Hugo11]

i think its also important to say that defaulting NEEDS good communication. Most lower rank teams play either 5man rush every round or ,,default" every round, which often just leads to them dying all solo

[@curiosity1324]

My brain mass has just tripled, easily the best val guide channel.

[@FearWarboar4135]

You’re channel is so informative , I’m coming from warzone, didn’t like the new resurgence map and have been on Val for 2 weeks now. Watching you and skill capped has help me lead my team to a lot of wins even tho my gun play isn’t the best yet I can accurately position us to secure the objective and it’s nice. Looking forward to getting my first rank this week as almost all of us have reached lvl 20 now n seeing more progression. Thanks for the great content dude

[@Bighomer5]

Great video. If I have to play another game of Ascent where we're 5 man rushing 12 times in a row I'll murder somebody. Default and split, please. And one key thing you said in the very first sentence: everyone has to do something. I'm so tired of 3+ players being essentially AFK while they wait for the duelist to take map control solo and find 2 entries with no supportive utility.

[@Nuverex]

For one of your episodes of no brain could you do a lurking tutorial, since I know from experience that lurking is really hard. and lots of players done know how

[@evenotfound4026]

This video is SUPER USEFUL. Thank you so much Sero. You make amazing content

[@Ilandria.]

Aka "slow and steady wins the race". This explains the term "default" well. I'm just getting into Valorant so I had no idea what it meant; I now know that it's the same concept as 1-3-1, 2-1-2, 2-2-1, or 1-2-2 splits in League when you're attempting to slowly gain map control and force the enemy to make a mistake.

[@Virsu]

The guides are easy to understand + it’s actually something I can recommend as an immortal player to new players, not some trash from the big companies lol

[@0ussama01]

great video ! Clear explanations, simple animations/UI to back it up. Audio levels are great. Only complaints is the low amount of agent brain expantion imagery (see image in 0:23 )
