As player with ADHD these videos are so good for me to see the bigger picture on these maps. A lot of times there’s gaps in my awareness because it’s hard for me to notice very obvious details but these VODS help me a lot, thanks banana man
I want to thank you, hooj, for being one of (if not THE) best Valorant educational channel there is. Frankly, your one of my favorite content creators period. My premier team and I have been doing very well (flawless so far, knock on wood) and it thanks to your info, gunfight hygiene, pro review, and so so much more. I couldn't play until about a week ago, due to me studying abroad, and my bronze friend had to fill for me (we are in div 11, all plats/diamonds). Since I was away, I was put in charge of research, coaching, and vod review. I want to especially thank you for the how-to vod review video you posted awhile ago. Its only thanks to you, and the hundreds of other content creators that you've recommended and I've cited, that I've been able to help my team as much as I am able to.
Hey man thanks for these. Legit got out of hardstuck ascendant 1 recently watching your videos. Turned into an instalock ego jett but I MADE IT THANK YOUUU
Bind was the reason i decide to main Cypher. For some reason, bronze loby in singapore server somehow know this, alot of them like to flank more rather than retaking from CT.
Ur content is great for my morning poop. Not too short, and engaging enough for me to finish watching after I'm done /j (I'm actually learning a lot from you ty forvthe uploads/stream. I can't always catch you live bc of work but it's cool)
Can I ask why the plant on the intro is a good thing vs planting it on the mound? Sure it's more open but if you can defuse it on top of tube it would give defenders a better angle for the hookah fight and as attackers you would be worried now that they can hold you with another set of angles and elevation the moment they tap spike.
I was wondering the same thing; I remember a somewhat recent 1v1 moment in VCT where s0m just stuck the defuse on the tube because the spam from elbow wasn’t high enough Round 10 of NRG vs 100T - April 29th
@@sand6463 Checked the round and yeah elbow is also a problem. But even in ranked where most players would position themselves in long and hookah the plant just creates additional problems for the attackers. If they can tap the bomb on top of tube and prep for your peek then the attacker would essentially be forced to flick vertically vs just taking the duel at ground level when it's planted below. Maybe it lets attackers have a full view of the spike should the defenders decide to stick the plant but idk if the reward outweighs the risk in that scenario.
I love your content. Even if I'm shit at the game it's always amazing food for thought every second I watch these and I know it helps my gameplay. Also: what's the outro song?
I honestly still play showers cause it's my comfort zone on this map, tho soloq teammates make it more and more frustrating to pull out cause for some reason 70-80% of the time I will have at very least 1 kid in the team saying this map is new and he never played on it
Earbuds are in my experience better for actually hearing anything in the game, over ear headphones have a slight echo regardless of the brand or quality, and unless they’re noise canceling it’s (again in my experience) harder to hear minute details than with earbuds
@@sidhantjasrotia7079 Wrong word usage, not an echo more like an overlay or something. You can hear the air around your ears with headphones vs with earbuds it’s limited significantly because the sound is coming from directly next to your eardrum vs up to an inch away. In my experience there’s a slight difference and it’s easier to hear tiny tiny details in sound without blasting the volume up 10 fold with earbuds than headphones.
I knew about the plant by doing it on accident my first day back playing (i haven’t played since act 1 and got back a few weeks ago) after that i tried replicating it couldn’t and mid game moved till i could plant it that way
It's me 2 days after watching this video, I planted spike like the intro said but sadly I died later that round, my teammates couldnt shoot the guy who smoked the bomb and defused because he was standing on top of the truck halfed it and then got down the truck and fully defused the spike T-T
@@Woohoojin oh shit, new youtube is different. i'm so used to looking at blue links and ignoring the other text. Should had known better than to doubt the banana
Would you permit me to run a randomiser? I will heccin run a random roll for 1 from {1 to 4}, for role in VAL, then a roll for 1 from {1 to Total No. of agents in that role} to get ur new main. Heccin spam instalock that agent for atleast 5 games every map, then compare winrates. For your highest 3 winning maps, keep that agent. For your 2 lowest agents, swap out that agent for a meta agent in the same role. For the last 2 maps, play a bit more, then do the same high/low agent swap change. Try it and lemme know how it works after like 40 games. I'm gonna roll now: First roll: Sentinel! Second roll: Sage!
I love it when I have a long day after losing 10games and deranking and woohoojin says”has this happen to you!”and plays the defeat audio😢
I demoted to ascendant 3 yesterday while learning initiator. We suffer together.
Hooj would want to know why you're playing 10 games in a day
@@Woohoojin Green is a nice colour. Blue is even more nice though...
@@JackFrrozt what about purple
@@Woohoojin Wait that makes me really scared, I just ranked up to Asc3 and I don’t want you on the enemy team :’(
For the plant in the beginning its pretty consistent. You just have to go on the mound and plant at an angle looking to the right like you did.

i can only play on weekends but i spend the rest of the week watching these to hopefully get better since i cant submit my own thanks mr hooj
your map guides are so good, it makes it easier to focus on other factors when you know how to play every map properly

@@7arooofps you can see the spike from hookah, so you know if they’re sticking without exposing yourself
Just in time for my premier game today. Thanks Hooj!
same here
So watching this reaffirmed what I was thinking of how this map should be played. But, if i know it, how do i convey this to my teammates?
THIS IS WHY YOURE OUR COACH
Yo hooj you said you never wanna play retake, so is it worth it to have an anchor or should we just full rotate
I've been planting on top of the tube on B site all the time I have never seen anyone surprised by it
(day 2) NOOO NOT THE WORLD TWO PIPE!!!! 😭 😭 😭
The most real threat Wooj has made this year
Mr. banana please make a fracture guide
please do a haven guide! its upcoming for premier and a lot of people could really use it! we love you!
True and it's gonna be the deciding game for a ton of teams
We want every map guide
Just in time for premiere, haven't seen the top plant since I was iron/bronze tbh I thought they changed it
I love your content. Even if I'm shit at the game it's always amazing food for thought every second I watch these and I know it helps my gameplay. Also: what's the outro song?
Am I dumb, or is there actually not a link to the Woohoojin VODs channel in the description?
You are dumb sir it's the first thing.
Lmao
Day 86 of thanking and appreciating Woohoojin for his educational and informative valorant content.
THANK YOU WITH PREMIER SOON UR A LIFE SAVER
The plant in the beginning i dont really do since i dont plant the spike B) (smh imagine planting like shroud basically gekko wingman but worse)
Woohojin, we need guides for every map!

Never seen that B plant on top b4, quite cool honestly. I'm rating it 5 bananas.

@@dactel dk bout this air thing but i agree on the earbuds being better than my open back headphones imo
i needed this vid
How is the plant ontop of the tube more exposed when the defusers can still defuse from the same area down on the sand?
I knew about the plant by doing it on accident my first day back playing (i haven’t played since act 1 and got back a few weeks ago) after that i tried replicating it couldn’t and mid game moved till i could plant it that way
I have 400 hours on viper and never knew her wall could follow through teleporter.
i always use that plant, i pr4efer it
do you have a graphics tablet to draw on these maps or are you some mouse wizard
Mouse wizard
