Thanks Joy!

[@mr_rubio]

A tip i can give u is to turn "keep player centered" in the minimapsttings in the general settings off, that way u can see the whole map all the time and know whats going on on the other side

[@itsmelonday]

Thanks mr_rubio, i'll try this setting out!

[@itsmelonday]

I love YOU Definitelynotwolf! Thanks for watching! 🍉

[@pauwiieee853]

Thanks to you, I started doing Wohoojin's training for gun hygiene and practice ranges. I thought my aim was already good, but it got better. I hopped into my first two competitive games this morning, and yes, baby, we started well at 13-4 and 13-8 for my first two games. My aim felt really crispy, and I was the match MVP for the second game and dropped 26 kills for our team (all of my teammates and enemies are in silver 3 btw, I was only bronze 3). I don't play Reyna and am scared of being a duelist, but it's just all about aim, so I really got pretty lucky :>>

[@itsmelonday]

Glad I could inspire you Pauwiieee! Hahaha I'm a brimstone main so playing duelist was definitely nerve wracking for me, and still is 😆 Sounds like you are well on track to hitting gold! Let's goooo 🍉

[@mizofps]

to summarize this: hes good at pistol round and loves haven :D

[@itsmelonday]

yessirrrr mizofps 🍉

[@DabDabTheDuck]

was waiting for what felt like a year. But keep up the good work btw you might want to work on your crosshair placement.

[@DabDabTheDuck]

And don't crouch if bullets don't hit. And on 3:36 you get spike drop so play back a bit the player has to get the spike and you will for sure know his position so it could have been a clutch.

[@itsmelonday]

Thanks for your support Dabdab! Your advice is always on point! 🍉

[@reflex7433]

There's is no way you only have 1 k subs the vids are insane u got ureself a sub

Hahaha I thought it would be a fitting theme for the oni weeb sword 🤣 thanks for watching cryobyte!

[@plepsie3760]

I can work as a coach from D3 i guess xd here 1:44 u threw flash a bit too far becouse when viper saw you she didn't got flashed so if they would peek you ealier you would die | 2:27 you could just do one and done (kill 1 and dismiss to ct) | I also saw that you have good crosshair placement maybe a bit higher would be better but when you see someone crosshair od going down for body | btw congrats in progress I could miss something but its 2AM at my country sorry if i did also try to dont play for rank that made me more consistant so maybe it help you too goodluck at games im sure you hit radiant faster than me ;)

[@itsmelonday]

Thanks Plepsie! Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I did see your comment and tried to implement some of it in week 3. I appreciate you taking the time to write it up, awesome tips! 🍉

[@speedsonic292]

The editing in this video is really well done, just wanted to let you know. Great stuff and this is coming from a hardstuck silver who fell from gold lmao

today is the last day of the act, i hope you made it back to gold speedsonic!

started doing his routine, dropped from b2 to iron 2 ._. we'll get back up there ig btw keep up the great work

[@itsmelonday]

You can do it bonkus!

[@swabbie2066]

I will say Woohojin says and also every one that does aim training you never do aim training before you play you just do a warm up to make your hands warm aim training is at the end of the day after you have played your ranked games

[@itsmelonday]

Thanks swabbie I will try this!

[@roshanmittapalli8701]

[@LEGhellnah]

Amazing video, you'll be gold in no time! However, I will add, if woohoojin watched this, he would tell you to not use the phantom probably. He always says it promotes bad habits.

[@itsmelonday]

that's my bad... I JUST bought the new spectrum skin and couldn't resist (even at the risk of losing RR haha)

new vid finnaly lets go

[@itsmelonday]

LETSSSS GOOOOO 🍉

[@sunshyne8008]

If you want to improve even more I suggest watching reyna vods on youtube to know what to specifically do on difence as attack is more adapting based on enemy defense. Another thing is that reyna is good for mechanics but learning a different agent is better but if you want to continue with her it’s okay. Also keep up with the grind🤝

[@itsmelonday]

Thanks for watching Sunshyne, I'm a controller main, so I am definitely itching to go back to Brimstone once I finish this Gold-Reyna challenge!

[@JoshuaLGB]

You might want to review your default crosshair placement, for me it looks like your default is body shots and then you correct to head height on the second or third shot

[@itsmelonday]

Yeah definitely need to improve holding my crosshair higher!

[@sunil5824]

Yo bro have 1k subs now 🥺🙏 Keep up the work bro

Thanks Dif_erent! I appreciate you watching 🙏🍉

[@orki3197]

Imo u could've stretched the intro a bit and for each day u could've made a little picture that says what day it is and said "day #... this and this happend" just to make the vid more dramatic and longer but other than that nice vid

[@itsmelonday]

Thanks for watching orki! I wanted to keep the video short, but I may experiment with longer videos in the future!

Careful! Woohoojin uploads low elo coaching regularly and in a video he said that a lot of people move to medium bots too early. Don't remember which low elo coaching it was tho sry.

[@itsmelonday]

Yeah I saw his new video, I will be applying it more in week 3!

Im g2 (Hardstuck😢) and this is much better game play than my Gold lobbies atleast plat aim

Will you make a part 3? ❤

[@itsmelonday]

Sorry for the wait, week 3 is finally out! 🍉

[@benjaminfedotov8375]

you should keep in mind that aim training and warming up are completely different and shouldnt be seen as the same. You should warm up with a few deathmatches before comp then after your daily games do your aim training they are not the same thing but anyway keep up the content and hope you hit gold soon

[@itsmelonday]

Thanks Ben! Yep, its definitely mindset the way we look at training versus warmup. Thank you for the reminder, I admit that sometimes I do forget to treat aim training & warmup differently!

[@omaigod8825]

why does every val content creator tries to be anime this bad... got into the game a few months ago an this culture is crazy but fun in a cringy way. However, good video bro hope you progress goes smooth

[@aryanreddykhan6442]

am i supposed to overaim or under aim in comp

[@yourdadscar2003]

neither, the point is that IF you underaim/overaim you can use your movement to fix it and hit the shot

pls make x kill baner tutorial all the other ones are old and when I try it it dosn't work

Try to be more consistent on Easy bots and then switch to easy bots 👍

[@Grand.Master_Cow]

This is a very entertaining video, so I have to give you props for that, but I must say that this whole series is kinda clickbait. You’re barely showing any of your actual training (you only showed a couple seconds of doing the dead zoning exercise in which you were strafing the wrong way in that short clip) and you haven’t shown a single deathmatch which is a massive amount of your training. Also it really seems like you aren’t even doing the training since 80-90% of the kills in this video were crouch sprays, standing still sprays, or pure luck. I mean no hate but this feels like a road to gold video as opposed to a road to gold using Woohoojins guide to gold video (which I also must mention that you’re following his one month to gold guide which is outdated by quite a few months)

[@itsmelonday]

Hi Grandmastercow, I thought it would be boring for you guys to show all of my training, but I will try to incorporate it more into my week 3 vid! I remember in his gunfight hygiene one it was okay to spray if they were close, but yes I do agree, I am trying to kick my habit of crouch spraying (still do it sometimes even when they're far) 😅 . I only recently found his new updated guide, I will try to include some of my benchmarks from the new training for you in the next one! I appreciate the feedback so I can improve for you

[@Grand.Master_Cow]

@@itsmelonday Wow, thank you for taking my feedback very well. It makes perfect sense why you’d want to cut out a lot of the training to keep the video entertaining. It’s true that getting rid of the crouch spraying habit is really hard so you could try completely unbinding crouch to help remove the habit. Glad you were able to find his updated guide and again thank you for taking my comment very well. I can’t wait to see the rest of this series and I wish you the best of luck! Have a great day

[@xped2943]

ima keep it a stack quit making too anime references its weird. high quality video and nice editing but give it a break, your not gonna grow a community being pervy.

Hi xped, sorry if you didn't like all the anime references, I'm new at editing so I am still trying to find my style... I'm taking your feedback on board, I hope you'll still stay for the next one!
