While I really like gaming highlights from someone with your skill, what I really love about your channel is the educational content you make from time to time, I can't wait for the next one!
I remember seeing this montha back.. & doing aim training with it.. Then I also tried some of the principle on studying it worked better than expected..
I don't know why I didn't get recommended. I just got a silver in Voltaic after 300 hours. I realized I kept doing the same training and wasn't helping. Dynamic clicking had me beat especially Pasu but I just got 53. I think I am going to focus one task at a time for now. Also, Riddbtw's videos helped a lot
Absolutely brilliant video/win. And what a delight to see your progress. Not only in skill/performance but also in attitude/enjoyment/philosophy (just keep queue-ing good mood). Excellent and inspiring. Much love for the Silkiest of Crisps
These are probably the most important pieces of information you can ever learn no matter who you are. This video applies to anything you can possibly learn, whether it is factual information, a skill (in the general sense) or a specific thing like a difficult piece of music.
Benchmark came out for Kovaak, just in the last week hit my first 50 and 60 bomb in CoD. Overall I'm considered Silver 1 in Kovaaks Benchmark. What I realized is that I subconsciously move my hand hand to more palm, than when I realize it I go back to finger tips, and start doing better again. Faster mouse movements, and better tracking. Best feeling while gaming is tracking an enemy and not missing a shot.
Actually as newcomer to Apex and FPS games in general I found more benefits in grinding Kovaaks than playing Apex because my aim was so horrid that the game was absolutely unplayable and I would get rolled every single gun fight. It doesn't matter if your positioning is godlike if you can't hit the shots that matter. So in my humble noobish opinion I think it makes perfect sense to grind Kovaaks for 2 hours and only playing Apex for 30 minutes. I will go even further and say that playing more Apex than Kovaaks can be detrimental to aim progress. Why? Because in Apex you feel pressured, you play with and against other players. That pressure could make you regress or develop bad habits like tensing up or have jittery aim or go for shots at speeds you can't aim thus missing a lot and losing confidence and getting demotivated because you wrongfully perceive you've trained for nothing. Hell people tense up and score chase in Kovaaks, a controlled environment, imagine what happens in Apex specially if you play with friends. Just my thoughts, great video though.
Generally, if you are new to FPS games/aiming it does make sense to grind more kovaaks, though if you have a foundation built already (Let's say you were goofing around in shooters for 2 years then start aimtraining) it's better to actually grind the game you want to get better at because you will train the specific aspects of said game rather than theoretically being able to perform action X/Y. Bad habits/confidence/motivation all go away over time with getting into it with the proper mental. I speak from experience, because I am a competitive player in Rainbow Six : Siege and through switching my mental and grinding more of the game rather than playing an hour of KovaaKs before scrims/important games, I have improved a lot, mechanically and mentally. As of right now I am trying to learn VALORANT as well, but with less success than I experienced in Siege so far. Now I could grind some kovaaks so I hit more shots naturally, but I could also just grind the game and get a feel for the different FOV, default spots, gamesense etc. You see how in theory both is doing something, but grinding the game itself improves more? Even the aim you got in KovaaKs has to be practiced in-game or it will not help you. For me it took aorund 2 weeks to see improvement in-game after seeing it in KovaaKs. Well, that's my take on it, feel free to agree/disagree, it is just my experience and knowledge of aimtraining for around a year and a half and researching as much as I can. Hope it helped either way, you have good luck grinding!
It makes sense to put more time into your weaknesses. There's many paths to improvement and it may make sense for you to dedicate more time to aim training for now and then switch your focus later when that is no longer your biggest weakness. You are your best coach since you intuitively know what's holding you back. I'd highly recommend doing a shit load of 1v1s in the firing range also
one thing i would say with the active recall, another point that could be made is with some tracking scenarios, regenerative health is super helpful for even faster feedback on like target switching lets say. that way if you aren't performing well you will see the health go up. just thought i should mention it as i feel like these scenarios helped me improve from plat to diamond in less than a week on all of my tracking scenarios after being stuck in plat voltaic for months also it was the quickest in game difference i felt, complete game changer imo
Thank you for your insight, recomendations and tips, love it. I just want it to ask. Im still playing Quake Live in my country, but servers are like 22/22 players full and its very hard to play and be on top as others.. What do you recommend in that instance?
I'm not sure, I wish quake live were more popular. Quake Champions has more players, but still has long queue times if you're not playing during popular times
U ever had problems with carpal tunnel or any wrist injury when doing kovaaks? When ever i bump up my sens to more of a wrist side my whole arm starts tingling and it gets numb and shaky.
Yeah I have, I thought about stopping aim training quite often because of hand/wrist pain. Try changing your grip, I actually found that my 1-3-1 grip was better for keeping my hand relaxed but then started feeling carpal symptoms in my wrist, so I switched to claw and now I alternate between those. Definitely don't hurt yourself, always stop if something hurts, even if for a few minutes.
@@Nafibebored aim training may not be worth it, remember aim is 5-10% of what makes a good FPS player and you'll get better aim naturally through playing
so when you change your sens and play with new ones how long should you use it for cause like every time i change it imp bad then ofc i get better overtime but like it doesn't feel like im at the same skill level i was at with my old sens
like cause ik that you don’t have to stick to the same sens and stuff but if so then why don’t other people do it like pro players ? is it cause you have to do aim training if you do change it a lot
mb it’s just sum questions i been having for a while but didn’t ask them cause i thought it would be dumb 💀 and sorry if it is dumb and sorry if you already covered this in another vid
@@whowho.1853 it's cool dude. as you change your sens more frequently your brain adapts quicker as well. I can switch sens after each scenario during aim training and get roughly the same score now, but it takes time to build that adaptability as well. There is some benefit keeping the same sens also for your main game, you do get some of the benefits of muscle memory especially short term as you play during a single day.
@@SilkyCrisp oh so it’s okay if you change you sens a lot then like after every kovaaks scenario it’s alright to switch and should you have like a main sens you use it nah ? or like change it every month
@@whowho.1853 experiment with different sens to find something that works for you. I think i'll need to make a video on this topic because this is one of the most asked questions, thanks for bringing it up
Man i need to follow this because I need to break a really bad habbit in cs of shooting before i aim. Even if you are a high rank in benchmarks like Voltaic (I am almost diamond complete but i didn’t apply for it on the server) you can still be absolutely trash without a good understanding of overall mechanics and positioning.
Great informative video. Will definitely have to rewatch it. Mastery by Robert Greene is also a good book about learning but it's not as scientific as Make It Stick. Mind giving me your opinion on something? I'm currently Voltaic Jade rank and trying to decide if it's worth the grind to get to Master voltaic rank. My main game is apex and I got Masters last season, so I know my aim isn't holding me back but at the same time I love training kovaaks. Do you think it's better to grind and do playlists in order to rank up on Voltaic benchmarks? Or should I focus on specific things I'm struggling with in Apex (ex. Midrange strafe tracking, anti-mirroring etc...)? Thanks!
That's a great book also, the graph with the plateaus followed by jumps really put things into perspective and kept me motivated during aim training plateaus. I think it's completely up to you what goal you want to achieve and how much time you want to spend aim training vs playing Apex. I've stopped playing benchmarks entirely and only focus on movement tracking/clicking scenarios to warm up for apex because I want to succeed more in apex than the benchmarks now. But in the future I may want to hit GM complete so I'll naturally shift my focus and put more time into aim training.
Made it silver Voltaic but I feel like I cheated cause I have a few bronze scores 🥺 tracking is around gold/plat though... One day... Celestial I'll see you in 3000 hours 🤣

Thank you! More to come
I bet your heart stopped during the sequence at 10:50 when you threw a punch instead of having a gun in your hands lmaoo
hahaha 100%, literally shaking with adrenaline lmao
I think the music might be a bit too loud, let me know if you guys are having trouble hearing the audio and I can try to reupload the video tomorrow.
The sound is "Silky Crisp"
I feel like the music volume is fine
Music was actually a nice touch unlike 99 percent of other videos with music
I remember seeing this montha back..
& doing aim training with it..
Then I also tried some of the principle on studying it worked better than expected..
this is my favorite video from you. all points are spot on.
Thanks man
I don't usually comment on videos but I just wanted to say thank you for all the effort and time you put into all of your videos!
Thank you so much!

Good job, dont be afraid to do harder scenarios and push yourself
one of the best video on this topic that i have ever seen, keep it up!
I've known this technique for years when i studied but i've never been thinking about it to apply this technique to gaming. Your analogy is brilliant!
Hell yeah, just about everything can be turned into a game or skill, #grindset #better
Didnt watch the vid yet, will enjoy it 200% tho. Ur amazing bruh, keep improving!
This is such a helpful and happy approach to learning skills. Just keep queuing :) Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant video/win.
And what a delight to see your progress.
Not only in skill/performance but also in attitude/enjoyment/philosophy (just keep queue-ing good mood).
Excellent and inspiring.
Much love for the Silkiest of Crisps
Thanks a lot man, been doing a lot better with the mental game this past month.
great stuff brother
Best videos nice work Silky
gg youre a true gamer
nice video mate.good job.1 question do u practice with ads sensitivity or hipfire?
I usually warm up with hipfire sens, but change my sens all the time for aim training

Have you tried the new voltaic benchmarks?

You earned a sub

@@SilkyCrisp quick question brother, do u match your kovaaks sens, to wthatever game that u playing?
@@Bushido_24 I will if I'm warming up for a particular game. I change my sens so often though that it only takes a few minutes at most to adjust

Make sure you have good posture in terms of body alignment, chair and table height
@@Nafibebored aim training may not be worth it, remember aim is 5-10% of what makes a good FPS player and you'll get better aim naturally through playing

jesus that graphic at 8:53 hits too hard lmao
Hahaha it's a natural progression errbody goes through
how are you playinh without muzzle??
barrel stabilizers make you weak
testing section, unfortunately i cant see images in my head :/
what sens and dpi do you use?
1600 dpi, 0.7 - 0.9 sens ( i change it)
What's the game you are playing in this video?
Lil late but he’s playing apex legends
@@urdayy1946 thank you, it's not too late! 😅
Hey again my friend.
I wanted to ask a few question, reply if you have time, so i know it's a good idea to ask.
All the best buddy.
Sure man, what's up? You can add me on discord if you want also SilkyCrisp#6816
Made it silver Voltaic but I feel like I cheated cause I have a few bronze scores 🥺 tracking is around gold/plat though... One day... Celestial I'll see you in 3000 hours 🤣
You're not cheating, just get to Silver Complete, then gold, then plat.... one step at at a time my brother
I can't quit you
You're my boi Blue!
1000 hours in apex and 116 in aim lab and absolutely 0 results no high scores no higher rank not really winning any more 1s help!
15k right here, 1k hours of aim training, aiming is the only reason i lose like i suddenly lose my skill bruh
Learn how to peak how to strafe and how to get hit less and how to play against controller players
YOU FORGOTTING BIGGEST THING
1 GOOD HARDWAIR (144HZ MONITOR MUST)
2 GOOD INTERNET
I'm still struggling on finding a sens currently using. G303 I just can't seem to stop my mouse where I want to
Sens is overrated, just pick something that works most of the time and grind
Pick one and grind once you have hours you can tell if it too high or low.
