Very happy that a video on this exists. I was told about flow through some finals discord players that I played with but there was legit NOTHING on this on UA-cam. As far as I'm aware you're the first to cover this
@@TheHamburgerInspector thank you thank you, I appreciate it very much❤️hopefully I’m able to provide more content in depth about things that aren’t as known or have information out on yt yet
Love to see your informational videos! Your insight at 7:30 was very helpful. I wonder if next time you could narrate those thoughts live at 6:35 instead of retroactively. I had to rewind to understand the game state you were referring to. Love the vids and shorts! I just thought id leave some feedback
@simonpowell2252 damn, ty brotha I appreciate that very much❤️times have definitely changed since s1 but im glad there’s others still grinding it n playing since then
I'm glad you took some time off for yourself sorry for your loss. Nice video man. Important to use this information since we have 70+ days left of the season. Maybe in the next one you can try Plug Meta from another class perspective so from L or H next.
I appreciate it very much brotha❤️definitely is something good to consider and put into perspective since we were running a triple medium team. I’ll have to check the vods on games that I have for it, tyty for the idea❤️
Actually great video. I was playing WT with a friend and was trying to describe plug meta and how we should be trying to start as many cash-outs as possible, but he was skeptical. Honestly, I underestimated how aggressively you want to get the plugs. A great guide, and an amazing example game to demonstrate what it looks like when everything works out
@@MelonSquid_0 thank you very much! Appreciate the kind words, there’s definitely some depth to the game that can be harder to understand or even explain at times and I’m glad to be able to have helped with it❤️
Could you maybe upload a game where your flow gets disrupted, and try to reclaime the flow? Many times ive had that happen, and the team just cant get it together after that
100% can within the future, it definitely is something that’s harder to do and would be a good video idea❤️just as advice to potentially not lose it is I would try to make sure you take the first vault fight as good as possible and take a little extra time with it if possible to encourage the capability of creating tempo. Obv things don’t always go to plan or perfect but I’d be more than glad to try and show how to retake tempo when or if possible❤️
100% agree, looking for fast fights and plugs its the optimal way of playing till the final. But i want to ask u for 1 common situation. In the first fight sometimes u get stuck in a 2v2, or 3v3 reseting both teams. Going fast for the other plug,would be trolling if its close enough and the other fight isnt over?? And in the case that its over the other fight, letting the other team take the vault and fight for the plug close to the cash station is the right choice?? Btw good content buddy, love to see people caring about this game
@@jorgepereira9163 First, thank you very much! Then also like this is a very situational thing, if the original fight doesn’t end quick you’d need to just force the fight towards the vault and trying to keep moving it and forcing the team towards you. If you are in a situation where you lose vault control and have to reset and the other cashout is close to you with the vault coming that way too. Also if you just lose vault control have to reset but still have time to go for the other vault before it’s getting plugged. Then yes you’d want to just reset and go for the other vault. But it’s not very common for this situation to occur imo. There’s a lot of if’s and things for this to happen where both sets of teams are struggling to get the vaults plugged meaning a lot of time is being wasted on the fights and not for the vault plugs. If this does happen and you are unable to win the fight for your fault then yes it’d make sense to leave for the other vault if you have time though. If not imo the 3k plug isn’t always a do or die situation, more so getting the first plug quickly is about getting your team at a faster tempo to look for the 2nd plug opportunity if possible. If you’re unable to and you won the first vault fight then you’d want to just hold your own cashout and same if you lose the first fight and have to reset n are unable to get the other vault then I’d recommend just fighting the original team again. Lets say you lose the fight really bad then maybe you’d want to consider 3rd partying the other cashout to increase your chances of having a cashout then later in the game you can look to grief the first team you fought then. Hopefully this covers things, tried going in depth as I could while trying to imagine and playing out the theoretical possibilities in my head for you❤️
@ thx for taking your time for explaining all of that i respect u as a player, so means a lot, i tried to delimit the question but i was aware that there are a lot of if’s that can make the equation completely different. But if u think that is something situational, i would be watching how often this happens to me from now on, if its not only a perception maybe im playing too passive in some spots. Thx again
@@jorgepereira9163ofc anytime, this game itself just has a lottttt of if’s and situations where things in some situations would be the right call and other times not be so it’s overall hard to say and give a good/correct response on my end without visually seeing the situation. I hope this still helped though and gave some sort of insight on some situations❤️
Hi Strafez! 1. Thank you very much for doing video guides to the Finals!!! I am a mediocre player who wants to understand game better and for me it was VERY interesting to watch this video and the previous video. Unfortunately there are very few such videos on UA-cam so you are really helping the game community!!! 2. You are playing good, my respect for you 3. It feels like your mic's quality is not high (seem like it doesnt conveys all the timbre of your voice and your voice feels a bit deaf). Maybe you have some donation page where viewers can donate for new one? 4. The game in the video was "good" for your team, it passed nearly perfect to your original game plan. Could you please make another video with example of "bad" game? What to do if your aim failed and you lost fight for vault 1? What if enemy light teleported vault 3 and inserted it first? What if you were running to vault 5 but another team spawned just on your way and engaging fight with you instead of going objective? etc Thank you!
@@wladolff I’d be more than happy to find situations where they don’t work out to plan and recover from them. Also I don’t necessarily ask for donations, if I do get any it’s just from twitch. My mic quality definitely isn’t the best but it is better than what it use to be, next video I can try to increase the volume louder if that makes things better? I also really do appreciate all of the kind words you’ve said, I’ll try to keep improving on the quality of things❤️
@@pure_strafez Strafez, please forget my previous take about your mic quality. I rewatched your youtube videos and twitch streams recordings. Your voice just has low timbre (low but not deaf). After 1 hour I got used to it and it started to feels naturally. And obviously the quality of voice recording is good on videos
@@wladolff no no you're good! in recordings its not the same as me streaming and being myself in a way lol. plus i want to make sure the information is more so conveyed than anything. i'll still try and work on it more though
Lmaooo verrryy true, I def encourage playing with a team if possible. If not try and ask for others team join the voice channel in game and try to igl for them or at least communicate what plans and things you do want to do
Thank you very much!!! I appreciate it a lot, hopefully it helps you and your team kinda understand more of the dynamics within the game and how it can be played differently❤️
100% is, one of the hardest games imo to solo que. if possible id encourage trying to get people into voice channels and just communicating with your team if possible on where to go, what to do etc. ofc not everyone joins the voice channel for comms and if not just trying to ping things and staying with your team is still optimal.
@@juckt_mich_nich4992 cuz I was playing with newer players, it would have only put us ahead by 1k so the safer option is just hold our point which also guarantees our win. Also the other teams needed it doubled as well in order to be able to win. The best play if possible which wasn’t really possible at all would have been to plug vault 6 into the other cashout and neither team could have won with only 15k. If we had wiped while trying to plug vault 6 our chances of winning would have been really low so it wasn’t worth the risk of trying to❤️
Ofc ofc, always glad to be able to help others❤️ the main thing for the fcar and for most things is spend a lot of time practicing it. Then while practicing it to really work on that recoil kick where it kinda jolts up. Besides that just make sure you’re pulling diagonally down to your left a bit and only time will tell how much better you can get with it❤️
didint realize people move thier mouse that much. my sensitivity is so high, if i move the mouse a half inch the toon does a 180. i couldnt imagine picking th mouse up off the pad to turn or to swing the mouse that much. your loosing out on sooo much movement speed doing that .
I see your point and for me it’s more important to have slow control over faster control. I also don’t have theee most mouse pad space lol so that does contribute to it. I’ve always enjoyed slower sens’ throughout my time on kbm though. Only times I really have to pick up my mouse though is I’m doing more than a slow 180 or a fast 360 and have been pretty comfortable on where it is❤️
If you or anyone does coaching in game I would love some help on cashout. I am a top 500 player in power shift which I love playing mainly because I’m bad at cashout.
@@StevenMoyer-h3y yeah if you join appohs discord he’s doing vod reviews during his streams. If anything I’ll have more videos to help out with cashout games posted on yt❤️
@@pure_strafezawesome. I will definitely do that. I’ll also add I will pay for coaching sessions. I understand how important people’s time is and the skills you have acquired are also valuable.
@@comradeoctober2836 it depends, if you were getting consistently team wiped you would have to play it differently then this for sure. This was more so of an ideal game where we got 5/6 of the plugs. In the future I’ll be looking towards making one where things are less ideal and how to recover from it
@pure_strafez awesome thanks man. Also I play sledge heavy, hopefully you can show me how that would go considering I can't just beam people from high ground
@ to me since I don’t play any melee build, it’s the idea behind everything is similar. May have to adapt to playing differently as in like maybe holding one of the 2nd cashouts since going around wiping teams for plugs may not be so easy for you. Overall your team should be able to help you to your strengths as you can help them to theirs❤️
I agreeeee, I want 30% wipes back instead of what we have now. If not at least 25% wipe and 20% plug I think would be upmost fair. Considering how much of the weapons and gadgets have been nerfed now it’s more skillful to actually wipe a team than it is to just keeping plugging vaults over and over
Sorry for your loss. Why do high elo players hate plug meta? It seems like it encourages an interesting flow state. They should add Jump pad and zipline barrels so every comp can try to utilize strong movement if they want to keep these rules for cashout imo.
I appreciate it very much❤️the main reason though cuz I want it gone too is because of how much money you’re rewarded for, for not even fully owning a cashout. The game used to be about holding your cashout for money earned and now it in a way kinda invites the idea of even more greifing than before. The other main issue with is how easy it is to grief out a team you don’t want at the end of the game by simply doubling the last cashout and helping a different team go through where things for the team being greifed out go from a 3v3 to a 3v6 or even 3v9 making it nearly impossible to anything about it. Before you would have to actually team wipe a team to make them lose which takes more skill and coordination at least now compared to season 1&2 with nukes being a thing. But now you just double the last cashout and make sure the team you want out doesn’t get it
@pure_strafez Probably an easy enough fix is to remove the bonus if you deposit the box into a cashout while another one is running that your team first deposited . Makes it where you have to take on the 3v9 for a chance at a double plug.
@@zs9652 there's definitely been thoughts of things like that or maybe even just removing vault 6 so that way there is no doubling the last vault. i just think the numbers for what you earn at a cashout should be reworked on. since you cant even get that much from cashout to vault plug ratio. you could easily go from 3rd to 1st in some games because of getting 14k from the last vaults. for instance where the scores are like 1st place-26k 2nd place-24k 3place- 18k and 4th place being 12k....hypothetically 3rd or 4th could get first place still just from the vault plugs. which don't get me wrong is something that i love about the game where you'll always have a chance in the game to win but i think being able to determine who gets to go through with you just because you got 2vaults plugged doesn't make the most sense to me, competitively speaking
Happy to see The Finals creators finally dive into coaching. Its about time.
