The comment regarding counter-strafing shouldn't have been made. However, it isn't the purpose at all behind this video - hope you can forgive the mistake!
you gain 1 more subs congrats
I think what you meant to say is that strafing rather than committing to fights is super important in this game. A few months ago I was underperforming, so I reviewed my vods to find what I did wrong. When comparing my great kd to bad kd games I found that in the great kd games most of the times I did not commit to a fight after missing my initial burst. In the bad games I immediately stopped and committed to the fight (and got rekt).
Counter strafing is often thrown around the community, but everyone uses it in a different way. I don't blame you for slipping up (and neither should anyone else imo)
TLDR: I think he meant not stopping to commit to a fight by telling us to counter strafe
was gonna say it doesnt actually speed you up but it is useful in many cases as it helps time your first shot.
Great video man!
Motivated me to get more training in.
Looking forward to more content from you
I'm new to the game but improved rapidly by watching videos like these, keep up the good work
thank you so much!
One thing I would like to mention (and yet suffering from) Is mentality, I'm ascendant one and boy my bad mentality kicks in whenever I'm not performing well, when I do badly, I blame everything on myself, even if it wasn't my fault. If you could get some sort of tip with mentality that would be nice.
Being the one with the less skill in my group(most of them are bronze almost silver while I'm iron), I fall over this trap many times. I'm always mad because it seems like I'm a rock in my team'sfoot even if I try my best to practice and improve. It really sucks
in my experience like u said mentality matter, playing too much while having so many things going on in my head just make my brain go numb and auto pilot, I only play when I'm done with all school stuffs and have an absolute great day to play. I hit immortal recently with this after being stuck in ascendant for half a year.
theres only so much you can do by yourself, its a team game, the blame is not only on you, but your whole team. That doesn’t mean that you cant throw rounds due to poor performance, but just do your best and refrain from getting upset over things out of your control. Also when I tilt in ranked, I make it a point to keep my anger in check. Take some deep breaths and relax, get out of your head and lock back in. Stop playing to win, play to IMPROVE. Also watch woohoojin if u wanna rank up.
Blaming it on yourself is fine. It is your fault LOL
@@thishandleistaken1011 you would be surprised how unhealthy it is.
Just stop playing Valorant and you will improve your life, get a girlfriend, find a job, be happy. I recommend too playing CS2 once a week to calm the nerves.
Believe it or not, but playing Valorant at a high level, having a girlfriend and being happy are all possible at the same time! =)
@@kazebuchi Good one mate!
Nothing like racial slurs to calm the nerves 🤗

@@AbyssaloftheVoidthat’s actually so true
some pros confirmed counter strafing in not needed since you stop almost instantly, meaning just stop and shoot works fine
u stop faster by counter strafing tho

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🕹️ *Ignoring Fundamental Skills*
- Ignoring fundamental skills is a common mistake in Valorant.
- Players often neglect skills like counter strafing, crosshair placement, and jiggle peeking.
- Actively working on fundamental skills is crucial for improvement.
02:21 🔄 *Relying Solely on Gameplay Experience*
- Gameplay experience alone does not efficiently improve specific skills.
- Training routines, aim trainers, and practice modes are essential for skill development.
- Professional players with thousands of hours still prioritize daily practice.
03:45 🏋️ *Focusing on One Skill at a Time*
- Focusing on too many skills simultaneously leads to frustration and lack of progress.
- A better approach is to prioritize and work on one skill at a time for at least a week.
- Overwhelming oneself with multiple skills hinders improvement.
04:57 🧠 *Having the Wrong Mindset*
- A wrong mindset or not taking the game seriously hinders the development of game sense.
- Game sense is crucial for predicting enemy movements and making informed decisions.
- A serious mindset involves considering various factors like time, enemy locations, and team economy.
06:20 👀 *Not Watching Your Own Gameplay*
- Focusing on mistakes during matches is challenging; watching gameplay helps spot habitual errors.
- Mistakes become ingrained in the subconscious, making them harder to notice in real-time.
- Spectating your own gameplay allows for a more objective analysis of your performance.
08:01 📈 *Skill Inflation*
- Skill inflation occurs as the overall player base improves over time.
- Players may be improving, but it might not be evident due to a higher overall skill level.
- Staying at the same rank doesn't necessarily mean you've stopped improving; it could be a result of skill inflation.

marrentm the fortnite educational content guy and spookluke the rocket league educational content guy come together on the valorant educational video
Keep making these vids they really help
Great video and those old gameplay’s hit different 😢
bro that old icebox plant site is so weird
One of my problem is i cant keep calm in gunfights.... If you can make a video about that i'd appreciate it!
W video, keep up the work man
Everytime I see icebox footage I HAVE to check how long ago the video was uploaded just to make sure I'm not trippin.
i personally had all the skills, since i've played competitive FPS games for a while, about 7 years and i was hard stuck gold. i started thinking that i want to be out of gold and that i can do it, and thats all i did, i got to ascendant and now im on 2 more games to immortal
MARRENTM SPEAKING FAX 🔥
is that footage form scrims or ranked? do you play scrims?
Just curious how old is that game play that was the old kill feed where it doesnt even show the assists
Its all on a continuum. there isn't a shortcut, everyone will feel inconsistency at times, no way of getting around.
Yo @marrentm nice new channel, but i instantly recognised that voice. You got my sub!
imo, most players plateau because of their communication and mental. In immortal, I would take someone with mediocre aim and great comms over a player with great aim and mediocre comms just because of how much of an impact good comms have. If you have below average aim but have great calls and comms, you would be surprised at how quick you climb. Most players know they have to have a good mental to improve but they just don't apply it. No matter if you think a teammate is what caused your death in a round, look at the round at what you could've done better and you'll almost always see at least one thing you could've improved in that round. Being critical of yourself rather than teammates also helps you not get tilted at teammates who do things wrong or are just having a bad day because then you'll stop blaming them for mistakes you genuinely did make that cost the round. You also need to realise that you aren't supposed to win every game, some games just don't go your way and you shouldn't focus on them, just lock into your next game instead.
when i get ranked up and want to improve, i just analyze the plays my enemy does and see what it frustrates me more an i simply imply on my playstyle next match 🤓
All these can make you a better player but you will still lose because its a team game. 8 losses last night. It has been a bad ride for me since a week now. You cannot win the game when you have trash randoms who instalock and fail to perform. 0 comms in game which idk why people do. Has never helped.
If you are better than everyone in your lobby and on average all 5 enemies and your 4 teammates are the same skill level, so you on average have an edge in every game therefore you will climb. Ofc not every game is winnable, but on average if you deserve to win, you will win more than you lose

Not related to the video, but how do you get such beautiful colors in the game?
Bro playing both fortnite and valorant and making tutorials on both crazy content creator thanks man
but what skills should i practice?
Alright, I agree with most of this video. But, counterstrafing is almost useless in Valorant. Every gun has the same set accuracy reset no matter what. If anything, CS2 might have Counter-Strafing as a basic requirement even with its refreshed mechanics. Counter Strafing is basically a placebo effect in VALORANT and only works in *extremely* specific situations in which will almost never happen.
Ok you most definitely are either low rank or you don’t play Valorant.
@@Masked_Vitality he's right, counter strafing was proven to be almost insignificant for most gunfights, maybe saving a couple of milliseconds if done perfectly or in most cases, staying the exact same. The movement isn't as slidey as CS so tapping the opposite key does barely anything compared to having to tap the opposite key in CS to stop faster.
@@Masked_Vitalitylook up woohoojin counter strafing
@@Masked_Vitality lmao you clearly a low rank then
Awesome video! 50th subscriber. My biggest problem is game sense in the moment, how can I improve that? When I backseat I can tell what decisions are smart and what are stupid, but when it comes to myself in the situation myself, I just can't do it. Any tips?
You might be auto piloting a tiny bit and don’t think and assess the situation when you’re alive but when you’re dead you become a analyst and think about the situation more try working on taking time little more before doing something that might help (I’m no coach but I do something kinda similar)
vod review your own clips
❤❤❤❤❤
Your great dude nice content also you just helped me get better
EDIT: wait this is your first video thats insanely good
thank you so much, demon_crusher! trying my best :D
@@kazebuchi marren is such a troll
crazy
video man thanks do you do coaching ?
Skill capped does i think one of the pros are coaching there but i dont know tho
Honestly at this point I really dont know what to do anymore, I've been hardstuck plat/diamond for about 1000 hours of playtime and nothing I do seems to work, over those 1000 hours I've tried all of the things mentioned in this video and more, I don't really think I have a bad mental or anything like that and yeah idk, just kind of feel stuck.
i think in val, strafing is more than enough as valorant's movement is now fast as cs so it doesn't help much
I only rank up on tuesdays for somereason :*( 14games a day
haha, maybe you play extra good on tuesdays for some reason - anything different at school/work that day?
no I'm playing decently well on all days i think its just the opponents are not as challenging because of the previous weeks valorant match depression
No matter what, the first thing you need is a high-refresh monitor. You can't compete with 60Hz; enemies will kill you before you can react. So, this training and all other guides are useless until you have good hardware.
I think that only apply at higher elos. At lower elo you can still happily compete at 60hz although hfr is obviously better
U can reach somewhat Plat to diamond with 60 hz but it would be harder than 144 hz
You sound exactly like marrentm Bro wtf, great video
I recommend taking a huge break I stopped playing got into sports and now I play way less but am still just as good but just godda get used to the game again and my mental health is better
sean strickland "i dont train i spar"
AYO. IS THAT MARRENTM? WAIT WHAT?
how old are these clips
correct me if im wrong, but counter strafing if compared to stopping movement in Valorant has a lot less impact compared to the impact of counter strafing in games like CS isn't it?
Depends on your playstyle! =) Mastering counter-strafing in CS is definitely more important than in Valorant, but if you wanna reach the highest ranks in Valorant you need to know how to do it at a high level regardless.
@@kazebuchi ~70% of pro players don't use counter-strafing. Dead-zoning, however is a useful skill as it allows you to shoot while switching directions, allowing you to remain mobile while shooting accurately. This is opposed to counter-strafing which is tapping the opposite key in order to stop, which is only an extremely minor optimisation, hence why most pros tend not to use it unless they carry over that habit from CS. It's just less consistent and if even pro players ignore it, why should ranked players care?
@@kazebuchinah its only 16ms, not even pros counter strafe
As I responded to slayer, how actively you use counter-strafing or not heavily depends on your playtyle. Counter-strafing is by no means a skill that is going to make or break your ranked career, but knowing how to do it could be beneficial. You won't meet a single player ranked above diamond who won't know how to do it. There is a time and place for everything, including counter-strafing. The point of this video wasn't to pinpoint that the reason you're not improving is because you're not counter-strafing, it was just a quick comment I made, aimed towards lower-tier players who might not even know the mechanics behind a counter-strafe.@@joshuachoi2410
@@kazebuchiyeah, except that its not a useful skill because not even pros use it, and i doubt most people in diamond are either. the difference is so small its impossible for it to ever affect your gameplay. i think if you're making a video trying to help people rank up you shouldnt be telling them to waste their time on things that are useless
whos gameplay is that in the background
Im honestly always improving but im wiltching this just incase
*counter strafes like I'm supposed to* Enemy: "PROCEEDING TO MACH ONE, THERE ARE NO OTHER KEYS OTHER THAN W AND LMB" *headshots 3 people while full on running, multiple times in a single game*
the moment i learn how to not crouch spray or try to spray transfer ill easily get 1-2 ranks higher
Amazing video especially for a small youtuber. If it said you had 1mil subscribers I wouldn't have turned an eye. Wish you do well and will be here to watch you grow :)
he already has experience making youtube videos he made a bunch of fortnite content
his old fortnite channel is called marrentm
this happen to me i top frag and then i stop top frag because i was so bad so when that happen switch agents
marrentm is that you?
57th subscriber great vid
If you got 1000 users for your code would you upload daily for a week?
lol
are these clips ur clips? cuz they are insane
My gameplay was not good either but i still playing and keep fix my gameplay
how jump cypher on the box on heaven i startet trying it 2h ago how???
pretty sure im suffering skill inflation rn cuz ppl say I should at least be high gold max low diamond. I even get high golds n plats in my lobbies even an occasional diamond yet im s3 20+ kills top fragging almost every game. I literally see improvements in all aspects of my gameplay yet im still stuck in high silver / low gold
marrentm started a valorant channel?
2:41 I thought he was hacking... but when I slowed down the speed to 0.25x I saw that his placement was so calm and accurate !
i considered not to watch ur vid seeing ur subs.....
i was absolutely wrong. nice content🙂🙂🙂
I don't know how to stop my mentality from trash talking my teammates.
Nice video do you do some coaching?
I do not offer coaching, no :) But thank you so much for the kind words!
Want to improve best tip is play CS2 you automatically get good at valorant, i know some say stupid or im fan of cs2 but trust me i got improved by playing cs2
Played game for 1 year but i cant go upward at all in rank and for the weeks i got my rank downgrade i think the valorant is not suitable for me
I play for 2 weeks. I have exceptional aim & game sense but just can‘t keep my concentration up.. it‘s like my brain switches to autopilot every 2-3 rounds..
I thought counter strafe is not effective in valorant
Good vid bro! The first 1? Thats crazy well down dude!
can i get the crosshair code?
i remember your voice werent yozu posting fortnite tips and tricks?
When I saw this video, I honestly thought you had atleast 100k subs.
But when I saw you had around 50 - 60, I thought you made a new channel.
Either way, keep up the great work! Remember me when you get to 20k subs brotha!
He has 300k in main account marremntm
majority of viewers prolly wont hear the bass, but for the minority that can, its too much. but great video
My problem right now is that i keep hitting diamond then losing it to plat 3 then getting it back
im tryna get out of the loop rn lol
someone show this to my silver val teammates pls
Deadzoning rather than counter strafing
marren tm!!
what a way to start a yt channel, guess now i can say im in the top 25 subs xd
with that i mean good video
Haha, thank you so much, lesos! That means more than you think. :)
Welcome to the channel, and I hope you're ready for more weekly content
secret marentm channel?
My Gamesense is pretty good like High Asc-Low Immortal gamesense but im Iron im Hardstuck with my aim and peeks my movement is prty gud Iam a Neon main i dont just run with my ability i bhop while running its kinda sad for me to see teamates running without bhopping im mostly top-second frag
awh hi, I'm a neon main too, but i did peak plat 3.. well that's her main ability, you have to run and bhop with her E, slide on them and get them kills. keep your crosshair at headlevels and don't move while shooting.. do taps or bursts but not sprays, and easy. iron to bronze and silver should be easy. later on it kinda gets complicated
you DO NOT have immortal gamesense 😭😭ur actually tripping if u do, gamesense alone will carry you up to high silver-gold since people dont even know what theyre doing there
The delusion is crazy. Any person with even diamond game sense would never ever be stuck in iron let alone an immortal lol
nice vid
W vid bro
The thing i need is skin 😊
MARREN ???
Literally 0% of valorant guide youtubers talks about that looking at the "middle +" and aim is the best way to win duels
good vid
Appreciate the kind words broski
Not everybody can be a TenZ - maybe ppl realize that on some day.
i would say its my computer
marrentm?
I will take those tips
At first i was crouching and shooting the torso but i know if i want to be better, i have to click heads. So i try to place my crosshair on head level, occassionally unbind the crouch key, play lots of deathmatch, shoot the heads of the bots in firing range, after for almost a year i can finally hit heads 90% of the time. It felt good when i realized i have improved from when i started
Bro is this marrentm bro😊
Fr
some people dont have a powerful pc to watch their previous gameplay sadly
dam some of these clips r old
nothing of this occurs for iron and bronze where I am hardstuck cuz I haven't played in a year or so lmao
There's no slide in Valorant like CSGO, counter strafing doesn't do anything
i suck at using vandal
marrentm?????????? is that you????
8:10 look at the kill logs "gamer girl pee"
what the frick i thought i was watching fornite hearing marrens voice
You are 100% marrentm no way
You sound exactly like marrentm are u him?
Honestly very good video for someone with 200 subs but also thanks
