I came back to Valo after a long hiatus and with a new attitude. Cause of Hooj i started to take warmup and practice serious, stopped spamming ranked through tilt and took it a little more serious. Went from silver 2 to gold 3 before I finally downloaded aimlabs and actually practiced for real. Now sitting at plat and climbing fast. Its legit all about consistency. No one os hard stuck, just hard practising the wrong things
I stg that elevator story is the perfect encapsulation of why I love hooj's content. The level of obsession with finding the "correct" answer to the situation is just so interesting
I develop speedrun strats in real life. I plan driving routes based on turn optimization (left turn at a stop sign takes the same time as any other maneuver for example). I did a thing called "queue abuse" at my old job where you could put data into the system extremely fast if you typed everything during a loading screen. Glad to know the potassium man is in the same boat.
about the sleep thing, generally when i have to wake up for school i force myself out of bed to turn off my alarm quickly because i wake up earlier than everyone else. and the stress wakes me up instantly so im not tired
My brother minmaxes the subway. He always goes in the part of the subway that is closest to the escalator at the destination, then he walks up the escalator.
I had two main commute options for my first job out of college that were very similar time but completely different directions. Think of opposite points on a square, and taking roughly curved routes to cross the diagonal on either side. Over time, I took note of how many stoplights and left turns each route contained, and there was even a bonus shortcut road near the end that was a gamble because it would get backed up sometimes. Ended up solving for the least amount of stoplights and most amount of right turns and turned a consistently 23 minute commute into more like 18. #MinMaxEverything
The irony of me deciding to go back to easy bots this morning to make sure I'm doing everything correctly and taking my time with my shots and then seeing the intro of this video....
Thank you for the consistent uploads banana, I look forward to your content. You motivate me to start grinding ranked (until I launch valorant and then lose motivation for some reason) maybe one day I'll get on and actually reach immortal
I often theorise in my own head about this kind of things... but I've never pushed it as far as making actual google sheets for them You're an ultra nerd Hooj... the good kind of nerd, the kind the world needs. but daaaaaaamn you weird sometimes ^^
i love that the woohoojin community is this level of nerdy because most people in my life would absolutely roast me for making spreadsheets like this but now i feel based lol
I caught my first few streams recently and now the last two Hooj uploads had me excited just to see I've seen it live. Gonna rewatch it anyway :D Love the elevator story, as a Data Science student it sounds like something I'd do myself
Hooj saying he should've been studying for linear algebra followed by talking about finding the eigenvector of a non-square matrix (which doesn't exist) is my new favorite kind of niche unintentional humor.
Broo I play DMs against plat+ players, consistently dia players and some asc immortal players. I was wondering if there was any matchmaking for it, and you answered the question. Ty I'm B2 btw
Well this explain how you basiclly master every game. I cant understand though how you can be so invested in all these games (and elevators lol). It's not like you can just tell yourself to be intressted in a subject, I find that hard too do so I find it impressive. It's also amazing to see how dedacated you are too youtube, streaming, vod reviews, gaming and elevators. Hard work pays off. I'd love to do this too, but you. You are just built different. I mean Valorant is my favorite game, but still im not THAT intrested in it. Your amazing Woohoojin, the most inspiring banana you could meet. Which I coulod be like you, honestly bro.
I'd do a similar thing where I was in a building with 6 floors and 4 elevators (including basement). So at any point that wasn't rush hour, I'd make sure to call down two or three elevators if I saw that there's only 1 on my floor. That was once my elevator would go up I'd make sure there's still a proper spread of elevators across all floors, minimising waiting time for anyone else
Okay but real question, I have a rubric cube but don’t know how to solve it, never have… is this something I should look up how to do or continue trying to figure it out for myself? (For a first timer solving it)
In Halo, moving while shooting is essential. In fact it's become an art to 4 shot someone with a BR with crouch strafing. That said, I've noticed that Valorant is a game of* strafe, get reticle on head and then standstill for a split second and shoot. You technically aren't moving when you press the trigger but u do right after to continue ur strafe in case you miss. Correct me if I'm wrong as I'm new to Val, but thats what I noticed.
as an overwatch /paladins player of an high rank i like to disagree it's easier to aim while moving for me and when i try in range to shoot while not moving i cant it shit
banana man is minimaxing which elevators to use back in the day. In middle school I was here mixmaxing how much cookies I can get in one day from the cafeterias
19:27 I had a question, is that deadzoning? I'm trying to understand the differences between bursting and deadzoning from your previous videos and I'm struggling to understand how to shoot so fast while shooting.
oh, i always thought i was supposed to aim and then move lol i was so pissed off that i always shot 5 miliseconds after the bots despawned i kept on doing easy bots for warmup even tho i could easily get 25+ bots
I know this is irellevant for this video but i just wanted to thank you for the radiant fade review(ztol if i remember correctly) on bind as it got me so much free rr that im finally back to immortal 1.
i think some people do wake up in the morning super awake, though it's usually more of a problem since such high cortisol levels (and an adrenaline rush) that early results in waking up with a lot of stress and anxiety.
I stopped tuning in to your stream after cutting down on playing valo yet still watch the first few mins of ur vids from time to time. After watching this vid however, i noticed that a good chunk of stuff you say can apply to life in general. I'll try tuning in to more on iron/silver streams
depends on what you mean by viable i guess? people were one tricking yoru when he was easily the worst agent in the game and hitting radiant consistently, but they probably would have hit it faster if they one tricked jett, so basically sure, doesnt mean it will always be the best option and you might improve faster one tricking something else, but youll still improve regardless provided you practise.
Yes. Valorant, unlike something like League or Dota has an aiming minigame, so you are completely fine with one-tricking and still being consistently good.
7:19 i do actually! Although only when I'm strict with sleeping around 11:30 (be at bed at 11:00 pm) so i wake up at around 7:00-7:30 am naturally a few minutes before my clock Also its dependend on if im motivated that month or not. If im not i feel tired and wont get up untill an hour has passed
watched your videos on dead zoning and crouching, how to play with your team and I’ve consistently started match mvp and close to hit diamond 1 ( i was plat 1 previously)
You made me realise that there is a LOT of content potential in making model simulations and stat analysis of random crap in the world. If I every make any YT content like this, all Credit goes to you bananaman.
Day 149 of thanking and appreciating Woohoojin for his educational and informative valorant content. (Using my main account from now on to comment - Zircon)
You seem smarter and more interesting with every video I watch. I had no clue you studied something similar to what I'm learning rn (CS/EE and Music Industry). Hope to meet you some day.
He is coaching silvers now. This brings back old jpc era flashbacks. Boy im so jealous rn
Every wednesday on twitch is iron-silver live gameplay. I just rarely put em up on youtube.
@@Woohoojinnice☺️ (hard stuck silver peak gold 1 fyi)

Wait, are you THE rags? The Yoru Main?
@@mihirx27 no im not, whos that i tried looking for him on youtube is he a content creator?
Old woohoojin used left and right elevator instead of alpha and beta elevator. You can see how much he's grown.
I stg that elevator story is the perfect encapsulation of why I love hooj's content. The level of obsession with finding the "correct" answer to the situation is just so interesting
Hooj interior design would be crazy like imagine how minmaxed his kitchen arrangements would be, allowing me to make the same meal in half the time
hooj is the type of person that would do anything to save 2 or 3 seconds
We need a video on the most efficient way to peel a banana by him
He would work all night, if it meant saving 2-3 seconds
Pull out knife while going to the elevator so that you can walk to it faster
*Hooj the type of prsn that wld do anytg 2 save 2/3 sec
@@velgard. Clearly the best way to peel a banana is to split it down the middle
I realized my practice is wrong, i was like "wait what if I aim AND move at the SAME time" and i finally hit one
As someone who works with data for living for almost 5 years now, I appreciate these types of analysis a lot. Banana man shines again!
Woohoojin is such a great teacher about elevator tactics, he should try Valorant coaching
bro had a spreadsheet so he could game for 0.2 seconds longer
Love these videos where you talk about life while passively teaching the game
I develop speedrun strats in real life. I plan driving routes based on turn optimization (left turn at a stop sign takes the same time as any other maneuver for example). I did a thing called "queue abuse" at my old job where you could put data into the system extremely fast if you typed everything during a loading screen. Glad to know the potassium man is in the same boat.
I'm not surprised you studied music, I felt like you were more musically aware when you played misty in your movement guide
about the sleep thing, generally when i have to wake up for school i force myself out of bed to turn off my alarm quickly because i wake up earlier than everyone else. and the stress wakes me up instantly so im not tired
My brother minmaxes the subway. He always goes in the part of the subway that is closest to the escalator at the destination, then he walks up the escalator.
I’m learning more about life and other things from woohoojin than school which is great
I had two main commute options for my first job out of college that were very similar time but completely different directions. Think of opposite points on a square, and taking roughly curved routes to cross the diagonal on either side.
Over time, I took note of how many stoplights and left turns each route contained, and there was even a bonus shortcut road near the end that was a gamble because it would get backed up sometimes.

Damn Mr. Banana is the type of guy to analyse elevator timings💀💀😭😭😭
Data analysis in gun game goes crazy
Lol I'm gasping and lolling irl.. yet this is so relatable ngl
This is probably my problem: I’ve always wondered why my crosshair seemed so static most of the time
I really wish hooj also included his earned value of time for each elevator.
From the first second until the last it was really helpful
I caught my first few streams recently and now the last two Hooj uploads had me excited just to see I've seen it live. Gonna rewatch it anyway :D Love the elevator story, as a Data Science student it sounds like something I'd do myself
The Equalizer taking the elevators.
I have so much respect for the analysis for minmaxing probably taking more time than it saved you.
Woohoojin vod reviewing my irl bc im hardstuck single (i need to work on my rizz mechanics)
This dude was vod reviewing in college?! I didn’t even know vod review was a thing until 4 years after I graduated 😭😭😭
Brain so big, call him e l e v a t e d
15:39 Hooj is the type of guy to VOD review queue sniping streamers in deathmatch
hooji youre a great influence to your audience and im glad that young adults can watch you!
omg just finished the video and im lacking mechanically so bad lolll (silver 2 but bronze 3 so far this act)
Hooj was birthed with pre-round comms
when you said you watched a stuff made here video and it made sense it made me so excited to learn linear algebra no joke
Ah i love trying to get better at valorant and learning about elevators!
"i had the capability to be a straight A student but not the desire to be one" Too real mr banana man im feeling called out now
Absolute programmer mentality, saving a few seconds by spending a few hours trying to come with an algorithm to solve it.
Hooj saying he should've been studying for linear algebra followed by talking about finding the eigenvector of a non-square matrix (which doesn't exist) is my new favorite kind of niche unintentional humor.
yo that sleeping in the shower idea is revolutionary
Broo I play DMs against plat+ players, consistently dia players and some asc immortal players. I was wondering if there was any matchmaking for it, and you answered the question. Ty

« Play League of Legends 2 minutes faster » then waits in queue for 10 minutes
Very good video! Is the stream always so personal?
I clicked on the video and it somehow skipped into the middle exactly where the intro starts. Completely random but pretty cool

I actually do wake up energetic every now and then, but yeah most days it takes a bit to fully wake up.
this guy is good at vod reviewing he should be a coach
Hooj is just Julius from Everybody Hates Chris but for Valorant
I once queued with Vanity and Valyn in DM and told Vanity he sucked cause I thought he was a fake lmao. He just replied “ok”
I'd do a similar thing where I was in a building with 6 floors and 4 elevators (including basement).
So at any point that wasn't rush hour, I'd make sure to call down two or three elevators if I saw that there's only 1 on my floor. That was once my elevator would go up I'd make sure there's still a proper spread of elevators across all floors, minimising waiting time for anyone else
Woohoojin shower tech and elevator vod review and stats analysis is what I needed in my life.
Okay but real question, I have a rubric cube but don’t know how to solve it, never have… is this something I should look up how to do or continue trying to figure it out for myself? (For a first timer solving it)
waking up in the morning and seeing a woohoojin video is my morning routine!

Literally answers it at the end of the video
Yoo the shower thing is actually genius ima try doing that shi
I am very well while moving, but I come from overwatch where you basically always want to be moving
The cold shower rubix cube has to be a top 10 strangest torture method
as an overwatch /paladins player of an high rank i like to disagree it's easier to aim while moving for me and when i try in range to shoot while not moving i cant it shit

really?
If you ever got involved in routing for speedruns they'd love you; any community for any game I think
I had the same college experience except I was a mathematics student trying to be a melee player smh
3:54 can someone tell me the videos the banana is talking about?
Honestly, this is the greatest Valorant channel I found
oh, i always thought i was supposed to aim and then move lol
i was so pissed off that i always shot 5 miliseconds after the bots despawned
i kept on doing easy bots for warmup even tho i could easily get 25+ bots
bro this intro haves me dying LMFAOO
Hooj is the nerdiest of nerds and I love and appreciate him so much! 😂
minimaxing travel time to valorant while minmaxing valorant gaming time while minmaxing valorant gameplay
I know this is irellevant for this video but i just wanted to thank you for the radiant fade review(ztol if i remember correctly) on bind as it got me so much free rr that im finally back to immortal 1.

When you min/max the elevator you know you living life to win
Is Harbor a viable one-trick agent? I'm curious to see what people say. I've had success with him, but am I wasting my time learning the wrong agent?
if you genuinely enjoy playing him then just play him bc he makes you happy
depends on what you mean by viable i guess? people were one tricking yoru when he was easily the worst agent in the game and hitting radiant consistently, but they probably would have hit it faster if they one tricked jett, so basically sure, doesnt mean it will always be the best option and you might improve faster one tricking something else, but youll still improve regardless provided you practise.

the energy management vs time management stuff just clicked with me so hard as an adhd mf
15:48 the f*** i did not know that where did you find it?
wait that shower habit sounds so powerful, i might try it
tfw u find out you're the target demographic (pogchamp)
watched your videos on dead zoning and crouching, how to play with your team and I’ve consistently started match mvp and close to hit diamond 1 ( i was plat 1 previously)
Screw the elevator, I'm all about that shower tech!
I knew woohoojin was a compsci king
You made me realise that there is a LOT of content potential in making model simulations and stat analysis of random crap in the world. If I every make any YT content like this, all Credit goes to you bananaman.
Banana's cracked irl
My entire family has an easy time getting out of bed. And I have an easier time aiming while moving than standing still lol
There is MMR is DM but I'm D1 peek and I popped a 1,100 RR tier 2 player. He literally shit on us so hard it was unbelievable (and a ton of fun lol)
Morning potassium with a cup of coffee before work.
Honestly, I just listen to most of these videos so I didn't even notice this was a silver vod review until someone complained about the Ares.
Day 149 of thanking and appreciating Woohoojin for his educational and informative valorant content.
(Using my main account from now on to comment - Zircon)
We finally found PotasimJin's weakness! He doesn't know about sleep cycles lol
that moment when you start min max life itself
Common Woohoojin W
I'd like to be like that but I'm too unorganized to get the data kekw
2:45 in the movement video you also aim and then move (but quicker)
Is that tracking spreadsheet available for anyone?(for the practice not the elevator)
Do you think practicing full running with Neon ult might help learn aiming while moving like training wheels? And then you transition to strafing
hooj's special interest is minmaxing
You seem smarter and more interesting with every video I watch. I had no clue you studied something similar to what I'm learning rn (CS/EE and Music Industry). Hope to meet you some day.
