it took 3 years

Didn't think it was possible, but had to make a video to celebrate this massive W occasion.
Stay tuned in 5 years for road to plat ...
Thanks for watching! Experimenting with a different style of video.

⁠@@vaishnavisingh9244don’t worry bro, this game was my 1st ever tactical fps game on pc and when I tried it, let’s just say i was lucky to be bronze 1, 6 months later im gold 1 still climbing the ranks! Believe it or not there is a lot of difference between regions for example US golds are very different from Bahrain golds and that because I’ve played in both. So it was harder cuz Bahrain iron usually had more smurfs than normal. But still grinding!

@@matureusername6434 well we cant read her mind. But in general of someone is alone you dont shout advise at her.

It's nuts that with just these few clips, you can see how much better she got. More confident to take fights, her aim is often on the head, the small flicks, decision-making, not panicking so easily, etc. It's not just that she climbed to gold, but that she improved to get there. Honestly, so much respect.

i mean she kinda kept making the same basic mistakes

[@oldiegoldie396]

@@HallidayASR i can definetely see that, i just think that more people are exposed to fighting games than fps games. Obviously not enough to be good but a kid would have played at least a couple of fighting game's back in my childhood

[@aidanshoey]

dont be discouraged from trying though. if you have some higher rated friends that can help you improve, you'll climb really fast (don't just get boosted, get real tips and ask what you're doing wrong). valorant was my first game on KBM coming from cod/console gaming. i was iron for a short period, bronze-gold for a while, flew through plat and diamond, and have been stuck in ascendant for the last few acts. grinding to immortal this new act. best ways to improve are from watching vods from pros that play the agent/role that you play and copying their playstyle/habits on each map, watching videos from youtube coaches like konpeki, woohoojin, teets, and videos from the plethora of agent specific immortal content creators. there are plenty of amazing map analysists and agent guides out there. there's no rank criteria to using lineups and high level setups, but make sure you get your mechanics down. i personally like woohoojin videos the best as he has a playlist for each agent on whatever map you want and can find one where he's reviewing someone at your similar rank. he also has some mechanics-specific videos that will help a lot as well. the number 1 thing is consistent practice, if youre playing almost everyday, warming up in the range, and practicing crosshair placement in deathmatch, you WILL improve. aimlabs will speed things up as long as youre practicing the right way and not burning yourself out. just some tips if you feel like you don't know where to start to get better.

I was here when that happened! Was really proud of what Lily achieved by herself. We all know that solo lobbies are the worst in Valorant especially in rank games but Lily proved to us that if we put the work and effort to all of the things that we do we can definitely shine and boast it to everyone. It was long but a very memorable memory for her and for us your fans. Immortal next? 👀
