Thanks for watching! I have started streaming on www.twitch.tv/silkycrisp aim training and my journey to Apex Arena Predator most nights around 6-9pm pacific
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
When you said 600 people subscribed I thought "no way, he has thousands doesn't he?" and had to check. This series has been super motivating for me. I got back into Kovaaks recently doing 3 hours a day. I'm 32 years old pretty washed up bronze aiming but i will get there. Grats on GM.
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?
I just discovered your channel, and I have to say, you're my idol man. At 30 years of age accomplishing such a great goal... You're such a huge inspiration, keep it up !
Thanks homie, I've had a lot of fps experience prior that has accelerated my progress but I really appreciate the kind words
Can't wait for these guides!
Been waiting for this one. Well done on your journey, props to you for sticking to it! Just got master 1 and hoping to follow your footsteps soon! Congrats on getting Grandmaster!!!
Thank you! Congratulations on Master, that's a big accomplishment honestly
Appreciate the insight. I'm a controller player and recently decided to switch to M&K so I'm spending a lot of time on Kovaak.
Congrats man, gives me a little more hope I can become a GM too. Creeping up on platinum after 2 months or so of training
That's some quick progress, keep it up
I would love to see a video on you talking about the things you learned that you feels helps that isn’t in other peoples guides
Wow this is cool to see I’m just starting my bronze journey hopfully I reach platinum and further will be interesting to look back on as I will upload videos of each stage I’m at
Cool dude, look forward to watching
Been watching you for awhile! Im so happy to see this journey come to a end and a new adventure begin. Goodluck with the Apex run! You made me start Voltaic training, although bronze/silver - youve inspired me to keep grinding. Gonna keep trying to make it work.
Hell yeah, keep grinding!
phenomenal mouse control mate, well done with the training
Thank you sir
Congrats on all your progress! Your story is inspiring. Keep making videos I love these
Thank you!
Bro, you're absolutely filthy. I'm glad the algorithm led me to you , many thanks for the info.
Thanks man
Great vid. One bit of feedback is it would have been cool to have seen some footage from the very beginning of the aim training as well, not just the diamond and grandmaster levels. If you do have that footage to compare I'd be really interested to see it stacked up against the rest.
that is awesome, gratz. apparently, i am starting pretty low on the chart but i might be gold in tracking or something like that. but i can't foresee myself getting too much further on the clicking and flicking scenarios.
Same, i just started yesterday and i’m not even considered bronze on any of the scenarios. What rank are you now
Literally just watched your previous progression video. Nice job, really inspired.
Thanks!
You've grown so much, insane progress. Seeing the runs one after the other really shows the difference between the ranks. Keep going, get better at them games and upload some highlights :)
Thank you so much for the help to get here!
hard work and talent, clean.
Respect my man. Your progress is crazy!
You are insane, I struggle to get master or even jade in some tasks
congratulations man! thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank you!
This was really interesting! Congrats on reaching GM 👍
Excited to hear more about your thoughts on the journey and tips for players trying to improve
Hey thank you! I'm gonna hopefully have a guide out here in the next couple weeks
Good stuff brother, looking forward to see these guides. I switched to pc 3 months ago from console. I been doing aiming training for about 2 months.
Nice, keep up the good work!
Keep on keeping on, good stuff.
Dude i was bronze when i started the voltaic journey, 25 hours later im gold, watching you aim train actually gives me hope that i could get masters
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
lets gooo been waiting for this one, congrats man :)
Thank you
Congrats !! you put in so much effort !!
Thank you thank you!
Im trying to get better myself and your journey motivates me to get better :)
pogu dude!
Love the editing :D also congrats
Thank you!
congrats brother.
Thank you!
Looking forward to your journey! Great video! Haha yes I am inspired! One day I will get your level grand master ;) or hopefully close
Thanks man!
Been waiting for this video
same lol, it took a long time to render and for youtube to process
How did you make the sheet updater work? The routines in kovaak don't have the same name as the ones in the spreadsheet.
I love your videos, they keep me motivated to keep grinding the benches. You should make a video on what mice and pads you have used and your thoughts on them. What Quake game do you play?
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
gratz on the rank, I myself am closing in on plat complete, but plan to be diamond complete by then end of the year. I have a question that maybe you are able to help me out with.
How do you stay focused while training? Usually my mind wanders off while training, like ill end up just thinking about random things such as how my day went, or about some game im going to be playing later, while I understand it is really important to keep focused, I have a difficult time doing so. Do you think about specific stuff during your training?
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?
wait wow, you only got 700 subs, i swear you seemed so much bigger. great quality vids keep it up
Thank you!
„I don‘t really play tac fps so i don’t really know what counts as a highlight“ ngl that made me crack up a little cus it’s the exact opposite for me: I have EXCLUSIVELY played 5v5 tac fps games (csgo, valorant, r6 Siege) and whenever I pick up a game like Cod or apex I wanna make a video because I think I have gotten quite decent at them but since I never play those games I have no idea what counts as a highlight
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
Hey, silky. Can you play some Halo and make a video on it? Ranked would be dope to see from your voltaic rank with the Battle Rifle. Look forward to your response if you can. Thanks!
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.

i really wonder if i'm able to reach this aswell. I'm 36 and so far im doing ok, just got platinum. But im really asking if i waste my time, because maybe im too old already too reach that really high benchmark scores for master and so on. I really want to become a top tier aimer but 2 hours training a day could be a huge waste of time if i will not reach this goal anyway :D
Anyway, thanks for your amazing videos. They help a lot!
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
any tips on people who have school days that prevents them from aim training consistently/everyday?
I like your hardworking for doing this
Thank you!
Silky, you said in your video that it’s not recommended to focus on one benchmark due to rust buildup… Would you say that it’s better to do 5 minutes of each benchmark but able to do more benchmarks, or would it be better to do 25 minutes of one benchmark until you hit a high score?
I think spaced repetition would make doing more benchmarks with less time better
Do you have gameplay from before you started aim training?
I do on my master voltaic aim journey video
Have you played any tac shooters in the past? Because if not (or if its not a genre you usually play) then It would be very interesting to see how a voltaic GM does in a game like Valorant with no prior experience.
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
did you utilize sensitivity randomizer or given it a try on the journey to grandmaster?
I've tried it, but prefer to change my sens manually depending on if i want to use more wrist or arm aiming
Wow. with all the time it's taken me to be Valorant silver, I could be maybe voltaic master-ish. Amazing video
What ranking are you in Voltaic
Voltaic isn't that on the ak bloodsport?
@@HaroldSenna yes but this is the Kovaaks Group
What sens do you use?
i started at platinum complete, in 1 month i was like plat,diamond and some jades, now with 140 hrs on kovaaks i am at like half master, the rest jade and 2 diamonds (static lol)
congratulations bro!🥳 you are 100% motivated🎯🔥🔥.. Any advice so that my hand does not shake when tracking?
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!!🙏🏼
Gz on GM, how old are u bro?
Thanks, im 30
I’m tryna be like you man, after getting 87 energy in day and going from diamond to jade I haven’t got any high scores .-.
This content is so awesome silky! Have you been using mouse accel at all
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
Very cool man! What kinda mouse u use btw?
Logitech GPX super light
so did you stick with the same sens or did you adjust along the way?
I'm constantly changing, usually stay somewhere between 25-35cm tho
hi what software you used to enter the scores @ 3:42
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

@@SilkyCrisp ok will try it out
wow, you’ve made some incredible progress. ive just started aim training and im currently in iron, could you give any tips to someone who is aspiring to reach grandmaster or higher like you have?
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.
this is inspiring
Congrats! Do you still recommend playing the fundamentals routine with two sensitivities?
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
Crazy that you had to put in over double the time it took to go from bronze to diamond for diamond to gm
Yep that's how it works I guess, that logarithmic curve of skill progression
I have habit of changing my sens everything that’s the reason why I can’t reach jade and above or maybe I always tense my hands
What sens does he play on? ( in terms of cm/360 )
I use anywhere from 20-60cm and change it all the time
Do you think that switching up your sensitivity every day for kovaaks only is beneficial? Would it almost be like working different muscle groups, improve wrist and fingertip aspects with high sens and arm with low etc, thoughts?
amazing
Thank you
what fundamentals playlist are you using rn?? it's only avaible till Jade rank.
I'm using the jade rank, it's honestly pretty good and difficult for me even
Whats ur cm/360?
I'm a gold ar pretty much all aiming skills how would be the best way to advance my rankings?
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
400 hours seems like a lot just for master, is this the average or did u play inefficiently (Ex: playing scenarios for fun instead of grinding ur weekends )
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%
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Yesssssiiiirrrrrr
YUUuuuuuuuPPppPPPP
hey bro is there any way u could give me your kovaak themes ?
What about using the Voltaic routines that they have in the guide for each rank? Is just 1 hour a day doing the Bronze routine for example good enough?
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 czcams.com/video/shk1cVO2ziQ/video.html&
so based silky crisper
thanks gorilla b@lls@ck
Congrats. I still on my way to master
Thanks! Keep grinding

Good day. Can you tell me your settings for the sensitivity of the mouse and DPI.
I change it frequently, but i use 1000 dpi and anywhere from 4-5.6 sensitivity overwatch (25-35 cm/360)

LMAO
sadly for me volteic stat updater doesnt work
I started just entering it in manually, seems easier
What is your dpi and sens? thank you
I stay within 25-35 cm/360 but change it constantly. 1000 dpi 4-5.6 sens overwatch
How did you make it so that the bots health only appears after you first hit them? gz btw
Under UI settings Health Bars unchecked and Hide health bars when full checked
How much better do you think you will be when you hit gm complete?
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.
bruh i got 318 hours and am only plat-diamond

I can't do 2 hours of training a day. My arm muscles are already struggling with 1 hour a day.
2 hours is overkill for most people anyway. 1 hour is a good amount
33/cm ?
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
To get better at cod you should work on your crosshair placement and not look at the floor too much
Not look at the floor ever look at where the head would be
But maybe for people like you
