razneK prob an aim god, tbh in up until diamond, if u can simply win duels, you’ll win. After i hit d2 in beta, I struggled with making decisions and i only hit immortal once i had better gamesense
This is actually really beneficial. I recently joined an amateur team and the hardest part of being an IGL is understanding how to properly review my teammates VODs for rotational mistakes & executing onto sites. Thank you and keep up the great work!
That’s awesome to hear and being an IGL is a huge role! I’d love to help answer questions that may come up for you down the line on my discord! Also, thank you!
idk if I can say this but as brimstone when smoking I feel as if it's important that when you smoke you don't make the smoke too deep. For example, smoking mid on ascent. If you smoke it right in the middle the enemy can walk through and surprise u once the smoke fades. By smoking further out it'll be harder for the enemy if they want to push through. Love the vids keep it up :)))
@@kurtisluo1149 try to work on your aim and Crosshair placement a lot. You can easily outaim bronze players with a bit of aim training. Aims gonna get you far in lower ranks.
great video style man! im tired of seeing those click bait strat videos pop up in my feed and i love these longer videos that go over the details and thought process round by round. reminds me of GRMP's videos where he goes over his own gameplay in Siege. keep it up man
I wish there was more "what i should have done instead" instead of this is what i did wrong. Its easy to see what got you killed, not as easy to see what the better play always is. EX at 18:20 show where u should've ulted instead
At 6:20 I do want to note that you had molotov and brim ult both still available so you could have taken a much safer position and delayed defusal with utility rather than taking the duel. Then again, maybe that's too passive in a 3v2.
Would you be willing to make an in-depth guide for location callouts? I feel like they were so specific in counter strike but in this game I find myself struggling to be precise about enemy locations. Like, take Mirage A-site for example. You had tetris, sandwich, palace, scaffolding/balcony, dark/under, firebox, default, triple, ninja, ticket, CT, stairs, jungle, conn; SO many extremely specific callouts. But in this game there's usually a default, heaven, and maybe a "backsite." Not just for sites either. What are all the various spots on Mid Haven? There's Window but I don't want to have to specify "Garage Window" for the other one. What about the corner under mid window? The various boxes in alt mid? Mid doors? Double doors? What are we calling them? Also why is there an A heaven and a B heaven on Split? And an A long and a B long on Haven? To my knowledge, there isn't 2 of the same callout on the same map in CS. If a teammate says "one heaven" and I don't know where they're playing/don't know their voice (and it isn't obvious based on context clues, like in a postplant) they might as well not have said anything at all. Perhaps all these callouts are well known and I'm just too naive to realize. Either way, I think you would be the best guy for the job. Keep up the great work. :)
lol just won a game on ascent after watching the video (gold3). didn't play Brim tho, played Sova. I am trying to play Brim a bit, i realised how crucial his smokes are. and ur vids are really helping.
You said this was your first comp game back after 2 weeks off? Did you play any normals before this game or do any warm ups or did you just jump straight into this game?
Normals here and there, a few ranked games on my 2nd account before this, and 5 minutes practice range before that. So I didn’t jump right into it, I had played sporadically throughout those 2 weeks. Maybe like 5 hours total
Ty for this kind of vids hehe. Also can you rank high with only 60fps? Or is saving and building a pc that rubs atleast 144fps much better. Currently playing on a laptop for online classes haha.
Dragonmar I just wanna personally thank you as I had asked a week or two ago how I can solo carry my team I had gotten cyper and had solo shut down multiple sites causing me to make my way from siover 3 to gold 3 and I ak super close to reaching plat alll thanks to you
I have a question so I just played a game we’re I play so poorly I was 4-16 tell just after half after 2 rounds into defence I ended up just popping off and dropping 23-19 winning the game We made the joke that the only reason I did that is because I took a break to wash my hands but I woundering if you know why this might happen I am plat 1 btw
I’ve noticed that you almost never use those stims. There’s a lot of times where you could have used it, ex. When you, sage and omen were pushing tree going a or long a. His stim is so underrated but it can help your team on getting sites easily. It would be better if you use it everytime you guys commit on pushing.
Round 23, if the Omen had let you defuse you would have had your ult and then you could have ult’d market at 25:20 Edit or whenever it was most useful, lol
my sens is really high and i don't have the best aim. I need to lower my sens to get better, but it feels VERY uncomfortable. I play 2400 dpi with .4 sens. Any tips?
Supernova when doing one swipe of your mouse pad from end to end set the sens to be just under a full 360. After, go into the practice range and get a feel for the sens. Once you have done this you can change it up and down a little for preference, however don’t be tempted to go crazy and up it again. You are going to undershoot a lot and it’s going to feel awkward as shit for at least 2 weeks but stick by it. Make a second account maybe to practice. But just remember sens is preference although there is a benefit to having a lower sens. Just look at woxic in csgo and then compare his sens to brax. Both have there ups and downs just pick one a practice.
Watching this makes me feel less worse about my games. What he considers a nice shot by the enemy is how I die pretty much every round. Peek and am met with an insta headshot. Maybe I have bad ping but it seems unbeatable
It's even more annoying because of the low movement speed in valorant,in csgo it takes precision and fast reaction because players move faster,but in valorant u just click and get the kill because they move so slow
@@zkaynnn exactly u cant jiggle peek to bait a shot either, its just too strong, and even when the op player is peeking he has full movement speed wehn scoped in
When i play in silver, and get bronze and iron team. Second round my team buy 1 phantom. The guy who buy phantom was killed, of course you know wht happened. All my team was killed by that phantom. I teach them not to buy phantom at secnd round. But they toxic on me :). Sorry for bad english. Im not pure eng
Not to be toxic, but this didnt look like an immortal game. yes I understand that u have not played in 2 weeks, but ur movement looked a little iffy, your game sense was lacking a little, you weren't learning from ur mistakes (kept peeking awps), and obviously the aim cause u haven't played in 2 weeks. + your crosshair is not so reliable cause it looked like every headshot u got was because u got lucky with ur bloom and because your crosshair has bloom on it makes it worse for you to spray transfer cause u can't tell what the direct center of ur crosshair is, furthermore the gap on ur crosshair is way to big because in long-range duels you could proly fit 2 characters into that huge gap. And I would consider how u played to be boosted cause if u haven't played in 2 weeks and u don't think that oh wait my aim is going to be horrible and u don't even take ur time to warm up, idk that's throwing. especially in immortal u know that if u don't hit the hs u gonna die and that's what happened basically every fair gunfight.
Dragonmar I apologize if that came across aggressive in any way I didn’t mean it to. I’ve liked and subbed so I won’t miss a vid. But I’ll try and use an example to explain what I mean. It would be like if Charles Barkley was commentating over a rerun of one of his own games. The bias would affect his remarks about the game
Nah man. Reviewing his own stuff first particularly a game he did pretty bad in to begin with is the best thing he could do. It not only shows people that regardless of rank you can have bad days and play pretty bad but also that you can in fact pull back from a bad start too so not to get discouraged too early on. It also shows humility in admitting your own mistakes which allows others walls to come down and for them to feel more comfortable sending in their own clips. If he only reviewed others, you'd find people saying things like "as if you've never had a bad day!" Or "why don't you show us how good you are then?" And similar. Dude can't win. I think showing his own faults allows others to not feel so self conscious if they were thinking of sending in their own clips.
diamond+ is very slow and a big mind game. Guarantee you if any current gold plays against one of these dudes they'd actually get destroyed. I imagine the immortals would also have fun rushing some noobs who can't even pre aim spots.
AstralCoxeus after I implemented pre aiming and PRE FIRING into my game, I went from plat to diamond (I was stuck in plat for 2 months). I used to be scared to pre-fire because it would give away my position, but sometimes, pre-firing is definitely the best thing to do even if it gives away your position, you just need to know when those times are.

Hahaha close one!
I’ve realised how patient immortals play. As a plat 1 I just thought the most effective way to play is to spam all utility and swing corners.
We call that the “tilted special”
razneK prob an aim god, tbh in up until diamond, if u can simply win duels, you’ll win. After i hit d2 in beta, I struggled with making decisions and i only hit immortal once i had better gamesense
Gold 3 but i dont spam utilities, i have problems in peeking and aggression
hit plat 3 easy just with my aim, but then i dropeed 2 ranks due to inconsistency and rushing out to sites.
@@mikoalt u probably had a lucky win row to get that high and drop that low... By 2 ranks u mean plat 1 or 2 entire ranks?(plat3 to silver)

Hell yeah, go frag out and grind those ranks!
@@Dragonmar Thanks! I'm bronze 1 right now and hoping to get at least silver by the end of the summer!

Dope review man. Very insightful
Glad you enjoyed! It can tough to show the world how trash you are, but beneficial for others at the same time
@@Dragonmar "Immortal 2 trash player" is quite the oxymoron, my friend
ive just started watching vods to improve and i will definitely be coming back to you m! thanks for the content!

he should have waited for enemy team to plant and ult to deny plant
really good video glad that you're taking a look at your own gameplay which is actually a really good way to improve
15,500 subs ,congrats!
At 6:20 I do want to note that you had molotov and brim ult both still available so you could have taken a much safer position and delayed defusal with utility rather than taking the duel. Then again, maybe that's too passive in a 3v2.
I get way tensed when i am the higher rank with 0 kills for 5 rounds straight and my team started bitching about
I always choke when I see how well I'm doing
same
Same
just focus on the gane and how to improve, dont think about how bad you are doing or how good you are doing
I love how "one of your worst games ever" is pretty much the same as almost every game for me in bronze

Yes! Games without an omen or a brim can be very difficult to establish control in
8:24 why cypher trip is still there he's dead?

@@Dragonmar ah alright you just didn't seem too confident in your plays at the start of the game but im glad your confidence grew throughout
Ty for this kind of vids hehe. Also can you rank high with only 60fps? Or is saving and building a pc that rubs atleast 144fps much better. Currently playing on a laptop for online classes haha.
Well I guess you can atleast reach diamond 2 with 60 Hertz, cause that's where I am :p
Absolutely! 144hz is NOT required to hit hot ranks. But when your FPS drops below 60 then that absolutely can affect your progress
Fps aint the answer to rankingg
Niño Besin yes man! Playing on 60fps is fine for me but if I play for 3-4 hours my fps starts dropping to 40. Any tips? Hehe ty!
i dropped from d2 to p2 from not playing for a few weeks halp
im itching for u to use those step bikens 😭
Dragonmar I just wanna personally thank you as I had asked a week or two ago how I can solo carry my team I had gotten cyper and had solo shut down multiple sites causing me to make my way from siover 3 to gold 3 and I ak super close to reaching plat alll thanks to you
is there any chance to get your crosshair? would be great
!crosshair on my stream has the numbers!(I’m at work atm)
Lol ascent feels so CT sided from my experience. It’s always a face roll. Usually just need 4 or 5 rounds before switching to CT
I think it has a lot to do with how you establish mid control and if your team does anything with that control
Dragonmar poor teams maybe I’m only p3-d1 rank so not immo yet lol
I have a question so I just played a game we’re I play so poorly I was 4-16 tell just after half after 2 rounds into defence I ended up just popping off and dropping 23-19 winning the game We made the joke that the only reason I did that is because I took a break to wash my hands but I woundering if you know why this might happen I am plat 1 btw
When i saw ur video, im motivated to play solo.
then i play from Gold 2 to Silver 3. With good teammates within it :)))
I’ve noticed that you almost never use those stims. There’s a lot of times where you could have used it, ex. When you, sage and omen were pushing tree going a or long a. His stim is so underrated but it can help your team on getting sites easily. It would be better if you use it everytime you guys commit on pushing.
I'm looking forward for the vids with pokimane loved the vid
Why do you have fade on
Great analysis, thanks for your content. :)
Lol love how cypher blocks the shit out of u as u try to push the sage res
do u even counterstrafe tho
i remember watching when you had 200 subs..
Quality content 😊
Nice content as always =)
are you talia mar's brother?
Was losing 1-11, then we brought it back and my team decided to do a 13-13 draw. Biggest disappointment of my life
yikes
Round 23, if the Omen had let you defuse you would have had your ult and then you could have ult’d market at 25:20
Edit or whenever it was most useful, lol
Good catch!
are the vods free?
Always
so is that enemy brim the legendary gNatFreak of RUclips old??
my sens is really high and i don't have the best aim. I need to lower my sens to get better, but it feels VERY uncomfortable. I play 2400 dpi with .4 sens. Any tips?
lower it down slowly and get comfortable with the new sense then keep it going. that usually works
hopstar snova Na I would say lower it all at once so u don’t have to adapt every time u change it
@@Lambsauce57 could u give me a suggestion on what to change it to?

Supernova I play at 500dpi and .87 sense and it’s pretty comfortable for me I’m plat3 btw
Watching this makes me feel less worse about my games. What he considers a nice shot by the enemy is how I die pretty much every round. Peek and am met with an insta headshot. Maybe I have bad ping but it seems unbeatable
What region do you play and what’s ur rank?
I've done an 11-1 turn around and we won 13-11
Never give up! That’s awesome to hear
MR DOPE ITS ME TURTLES ILY NO HOMO
Operator is kinda too strong on this game, a lot of the time ur forced to peek one dry and its just near impossible to aim duel one that is preaiming
It's even more annoying because of the low movement speed in valorant,in csgo it takes precision and fast reaction because players move faster,but in valorant u just click and get the kill because they move so slow

Sorry for bad english. Im not pure eng
silver aim galaxy brain XD keep up the good vids!
Round 7 that was the only shot
bro i think my 60hertz monitor is holding me back man i can’t make that push out of plat 3
you can always try to overclock it, my 60 hrtz went all the way up to 90 with no issue
Alex May i tried but theirs no option to even over clock it i have a 1070ti i think my monitor is just capped at 60
It’s probably not the main reason you can def get to immortal on 60hz, but 144hz really helps!
Dragonmar do you have any tips on countering op in high plat elo or any elo in general it’s so annoying to deal with
I thought dragonmar was someone who was really good and has great game sense but after watching this Vod I feel like he is bad
Ur best brim

you sound like scarce
could u do silver?
i subbed good content
This is why I hate Jett and anyone that uses her. So annoying character to play against just unnecessary aggression
Bruh wtf did u say in the start of the vid
I think you should do the personal vod reviews on your own time and do vod reviews of viewers/pros on your channel. Just comes off wrong
That is a perspective I’d never even considered, any reason in particular you feel it comes off wrong? Love to try to understand this more

Nah man. Reviewing his own stuff first particularly a game he did pretty bad in to begin with is the best thing he could do.

Lol immortals are humans and sometimes they play like trash ending
Try not to crouch as much
This isn't beneficial at all, you just say how you died not what you could do better.

have u played split? haha
