Hey once you get to Plat lmk if you want to queue up with me. Solo queuing is actually pain in Arenas. I actually do play around those times during the week now because I love Apex lol

@@AtH1338 just hit it ill hit you up this weekend to game some gamez

@@SilkyCrisp sounds good man, I'll be gaming all Saturday basically apart from running errands

Thank you! I'm almost 30 so it's never too late. Just take care of your hands, anything over 2 hours hurts to where i gotta take time off at some point to heal up

@@SilkyCrisp Yea I split it into 2 routine sessions that take roughly 1.5 hours. been a bit of a messy weeks, always been a 40cm/360 sens player but trying 34 as I want to have faster flicks, im sure I can get my tracking back to a good spot at that sens. Havn't done a benchmark since last friday so will be interesting to see my progression after a week of solid aim training. Definitely keep the updates rolling in, great to see where you where and where you are now.

If you don't have much shooter experience, your age will only mean it might take you a bit longer to improve - that's it. Usually the only reason people tend to ''fall off'' in their 30s in competitive gaming is that real-life takes up so much time that they cant really consistently practise anymore ;p Trust me you're going to see a few 40 y.o.+ insane aimers within the next 10 years or so. Age won't make much of a difference unless you're actually trying to compete at world-level pro tournaments. At least that's what most (limited) research really is available on topics that relate to gaming and aim/reaction time.

what rank are you now dude

@@Ryan-nv6vf did you get there?

Thanks homie, I've had a lot of fps experience prior that has accelerated my progress but I really appreciate the kind words

Thank you! Congratulations on Master, that's a big accomplishment honestly

That's some quick progress, keep it up

Hey thank you! I'm gonna hopefully have a guide out here in the next couple weeks

Thank you!

Thank you sir

Cool dude, look forward to watching

Hell yeah, keep grinding!

Thanks man

Thanks!

Same, i just started yesterday and i’m not even considered bronze on any of the scenarios. What rank are you now

I'm silver with 80 hours 😢

yo whats ur rank now?

@@adriansanchez1232 I hit jade at about 200 hours i think? something around that mark

Thank you!

Thank you so much for the help to get here!

Nice, keep up the good work!

Thank you thank you!

Im trying to get better myself and your journey motivates me to get better :)

Thank you

Thank you!

Thanks man!

Thank you!

same lol, it took a long time to render and for youtube to process

For sure, i need to do some more research, thinking about getting new mousepad also. I play quake champions mostly, but have dabbled in quake live

yeah I need to watch some more valorant/cs highlights to get a feel for it. apex highlights seem to be squad wipes, one clips, and kraber shots mostly. cod is mostly target switching or multi-kills

What ranking are you in Voltaic

Voltaic isn't that on the ak bloodsport?

@@HaroldSenna yes but this is the Kovaaks Group

Thank you!

I treat aim training like a meditation somewhat, I listen to music without words and will shift what I focus on depending on what is currently happening in the scenario. I'll basically observe how things are going and if I notice too much tension, ill focus on relaxing for a few seconds, if I notice my aim is shaky I'll focus on that for a few seconds. I switch what I focus on constantly and it keeps my mind occupied. But I'm not 100% sure that it matters that much as long as you put the time in, there are some great aimers that listen to podcasts and generally zone out. But if you're not making progress then it might help to focus more during training.

@@SilkyCrisp ok, ty for the reply

hey man where are you ranked at now?

Hey man I have a few videos of halo if you haven't seen them already. I didn't play a whole lot so the BR may not be the best. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nMlgh6eHna7Wc6M.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZ2EosRlnrrWoGw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMxknriAuJrchps.html

@@SilkyCrisp come back to the game

Yep that's how it works I guess, that logarithmic curve of skill progression

Thank you!

I have not played very much for tac shooters. At some point I'd like to do a 30-90 day challenge trying to get better at them

Valorant is not a tac shooter bro

Hey man, I’m not as experienced as him but I just hit plat today after about 50 hours (And trust me I’ve been in your shoes I couldn’t even get ranked in some playlists months ago). I’d say the biggest tip is to keep consistent with your training. Just keep grinding the main playlists (bronze and silver voltaic) until about gold, when you’ll start to feel more confident. Then you can branch off into the other fundamental playlists (static, smoothness and precision, etc.). I grinded static, and have some diamond/near diamond scores and I’ve now swapped to tracking. Just keep playing and you’ll improve a ton!!

Also, don’t sweat it if you hit a plateau! Just keep playing to improve averages and take a break if needed.

thanks for the advice! also meant i was in iron, not bronze, so i have a long way to go.

Hey good luck on your journey! If you wanna hit GM just prepare to spend 2+ hours a day consistently for 6+ months at a minimum. I was mentally prepared to spend over a year on this and was surprised I hit it so quickly. It's probably a better goal to hit diamond complete with 1-2 hours a day first and then decide if aim training is still worth the time investment for you after that point. Enjoy the process and let go of high scores, you'll crush them eventually if you just stick with it. GL!

thanks for the reply! going to stick with your advice for below diamond aim training from your master 1 video, is there anything you would add or change about that routine? and one last question, does it really matter what time you aim train? ive heard that you improve the most when aim training before you sleep. thanks for all the advice, i really appreciate it.

Ya know that's a good question that I had myself when starting. Instead of committing to hitting a goal of GM, it's probably better to just hit the next rank above and then reevaluate if you wanna keep going. I thought once I reached master I would stop aim training as much but I enjoyed training more than playing FPS so i just kept going

Thank you! No I haven't. I felt like my flicks weren't as consistent with it and i've been trying to get "aimbot" looking clips

Thank you! I'd do a smoothness routine that voltaic recommends with a higher sensitivity and just focus on making your movements smooth

@@SilkyCrisp thanks bro!!🙏🏼

Thanks, im 30

I think spaced repetition would make doing more benchmarks with less time better

I've tried it, but prefer to change my sens manually depending on if i want to use more wrist or arm aiming

I'm constantly changing, usually stay somewhere between 25-35cm tho

Logitech GPX super light

I do on my master voltaic aim journey video

I think you're fine sticking with one. Still experiment with your sens tho occasionally, i think it's important to develop large arm and also micro wrist movements

It's voltaic auto updater. Kind of a pain to set up, I don't use it anymore, just for the video. Link is here: github.com/VoltaicHQ/Progress-Sheet-Updater video on how to set it up here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l91yoqpqr9-cc40.html

@@SilkyCrisp ok will try it out

Thank you

YUUuuuuuuuPPppPPPP

Thanks! Keep grinding

I'm using the jade rank, it's honestly pretty good and difficult for me even

I use anywhere from 20-60cm and change it all the time

do the voltaic fundamental routine for your skill level and put in an extra 10-30 minutes grinding the benchmarks themselves outside of that for the quickest climb

@@SilkyCrisp thank you man appreciate the feedback

From what I've seen it's faster than most and I took long breaks in the middle. The time needed seems to mostly depend on previous fps experience

master is better than like 98% of players…400 hours seems like a good damn deal to be in the top 2-3%

LMAO

Thanks!

I change it frequently, but i use 1000 dpi and anywhere from 4-5.6 sensitivity overwatch (25-35 cm/360)

@@SilkyCrisp How do you change in games?

white woodboard walls with grey tint 1.0 rough, 1.0 metallic, 0.5 full bright. grey woodboard floor with grey tint, 1.0 rough, 1.o metal, 0 full bright

thanks gorilla b@lls@ck

You should see progress with 1 hour a day of the fundamental bronze routine yes. I go over my suggestions for routines in this video if you want more information starting at 7:42 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qc6bZMaHtJjemYU.html&

I stay within 25-35 cm/360 but change it constantly. 1000 dpi 4-5.6 sens overwatch

I started just entering it in manually, seems easier

I think GMC is top 25-50 in Voltaic rankings. Subjectively though, it felt like my aim took on another level each time i hit a GM score. At this point to get better at aiming in apex i gotta play it way more more instead of aim training. I got the mouse control, now i need to adapt my brain to the visuals, movement, leading my shots, and recoil.

leggo

2 hours is overkill for most people anyway. 1 hour is a good amount

25-35, not sure what i was using for which scenario since I change it up so much

@@SilkyCrisp on your daily gaming sens it’s 33 ?

@@jankarlsanchez1759 i change it a lot and i'm still experimenting, i like higher sens for games where i have to turn around a lot and hit bigger targets, lower sens for games that need a lot of precision

lol appreciate it!

Agreed, I played a lot of Tamspeed 2bpes to improve for pasu

@@SilkyCrisp I can only hit 98 on tamspeed 2bpes

Not look at the floor ever look at where the head would be

But maybe for people like you
