fuing all they want is the ability to

rank up but despite their efforts of

learning proper movement peeking

technique and warming up every day they

still struggle to win their gunfights

gain ELO and are often trash talked by

their fellow team of course frustration

then ensues and the struggle to find

what is actually holding them back

becomes more desperate now the average

gold player is making plenty of mistakes

and while I can't give just one fix all

solution to help everyone in Gold rank

up instantly I can sure try but

seriously I can share some of my most

helpful tips that I wish someone had

told me when I was first starting my

journey from gold to Immortal if you

don't know me I'm zapper your favorite

Immortal 3 yapper this is going to be

the first video of a new series I'm

doing on this channel it's simple I'll

keep the video short drop three new tips

each video that you likely haven't

considered before hopefully over time

you guys will gain a better

understanding of the game and ranking up

won't seem as intimidating today I'll be

covering one tip for taking space that

makes trading teammates much easier the

next tip will help you throw off your

opponents catch enemies off guard and

will help Skyrocket your kills and the

last tip is a mental one that aims to

help boost focus and motivation let's

get right into it tip number one instead

of clearing everything from far away

which exposes you to tons of angles and

gives the enemy plenty of opportunities

to isolate gunfights on you try taking

space like this keep in mind the next

piece of cover you have in front of you

and then scale up in whichever way

exposes you to the least angles possible

playing around cover is one of the best

things you can do in valerant because

the time to kill is so low and if you

overexpose yourself when taking space

you are making yourself a Sitting Duck

simply by changing your pathing when

you're switching between angles you can

more easily keep yourself alive and

because you can safely get close to the

action trading your team out becomes

second nature tip number

two by now everyone and their mama

understand that being predictable is bad

by being predictable the enemy can

easily plan ahead of time to counter

what you will inevitably do but

something I never see talked about is

how you can actually become less

predictable being unpredictable is a

lost art nowadays because everyone wants

to do the logically correct play but

just stop and think about that for a

second this puts you in a box in which

you can never Escape yeah logically

maybe you're making the correct plays

but what is your plan if your logical

plays stop working out for you sometimes

by being too logical about the plays

you're making in valorant the enemy can

easily predict your decision- making and

this ultim Ely makes the game more

difficult for you instead I'm arguing

that you should try taking the opposite

approach that is when your typical

process is failing let's say you are

defending on bind playing in U-Haul take

a second to imagine you were in the

shoes of the attackers what utility

would you be using to clear out U-Haul

if any and what angles would you most

likely expect the enemy to be playing at

now simply play any angles that aren't

what you thought of and the catch is

that you can't be in spots where the

enemy utility will easily clear you

out it seems silly I know but trust me

the more unpredictable your positioning

is the more you will throw the enemy off

guard and the angrier they will become

bonus tip here you can also apply

unpredictability to your Peaks often

times when the enemy reaks the angle on

predictable timings it's the easiest

kill in the world at least for me but

when someone Waits For That Awkward

timing I often get caught out with my

pants down ass out tip number

three this one is for those of you who

struggle with the mental game of

valerant motivation and focus can be

hard to come by nowadays especially if

you play valerant a lot it's easy to

lose focus of your goals and what you

truly want and that's really where the

problem lies focus and motivation come

from one thing and one thing alone

wanting something that you don't

currently have if it's a hot ass day

outside and you want ice cream you're

going to go get that ice cream

do or die but if you know it's a good

idea to stay hydrated and drink some

water yeah you might drink the water but

unless you really want that water that

ice cold beverage you won't have that

internal fire that's pushing you to go

drink some focus and motivation works

the exact same way in valerant if you're

lacking focus and motivation you need to

look internally and think about what you

actually want do you want to have fun do

you want to learn and practice new

things or do you want to win gain ELO

and rank up it doesn't really matter

what the want is in this case just

realize if you want one thing but you

are playing for a different reason then

the focus and motivation will be lacking

it's inevitable
