Hey everyone,

Before I get into it, quick Disclaimer: I do not agree with G2 CEO's actions and this video is not about that. The video is mostly since they have been emerging on the Valorant sphere since last September and after a little bit of playing, I thought I would give this "content creation" a shot.

Anyway, I'm Gaetan, I just started content creation since it always has been where I wanted to go. I was never gifted at video games, but since Covid started I really could not get Valorant out of my head and finally saw some progress and just recently made it to Diamond 3/Ascendant 1 elo. Only other competitive shooter played in my life was Rainbow 6 Siege for less than 100 hours and I have about 800 hours now on Valorant.

So basically I'm trying to help casual gamers/low elo players, just like I was a couple of acts ago. I intend of doing so by posting more content of the sort in the future, and having people get more interested in Valorant. My approach is very methodical and will try to keep a "scientific" approach to all my future video of the kind where I test aim routines backed up by pro players. I'm trying to make content where it's hassle free for new players, or experienced players who want to progress.

Now back to the initial subject, the video talks about an aim routine I came across and was tagged as "G2's aim routine". Now, Is it actually what they use? Only they can confirm or deny, but the way it looks is very smart, in my opinion. They basically take your normal aim routine, but instead of doing a little bit of everything everyday, they focus on a particular skill everyday. Here is the split:

Day 1: Improve Handspeed (Burstflick, Microshot, Spidershot, Motionshot, all in speed mode) followed by Death Matches without sound and flicking only, practicing your one taps.

Day 2: Improve angle holding/peeking (Angle hold, Multilinetrace, Linetrace, Valorant Ascent wall peek, all in flicking mode) followed by DMs where you gold angles, with sound.

Day 3: Improve flicking (Valorant ascent micro flex, spidershot, hordeshot, valorant ascent headshot, all in flicking mode) followed by DMs without sound and just W key press and try to make picks.

Day 4: Improve mouse speed and mouse control (Burst flick, Microshot, both in speed mode, followed by multilinetrace and scattershot, both in flicking mode) followed by 10 minutes of vandal spray control and 10 minutes of phantom spray control in the range.

Day 5: Improve tracking (motiontrack, microstartrack, spheretrack, valorant ascent tracking, all in tracking mode) followed by DMs without sound, spray only, and focusing on spray control.

Whew, that's a lot! Yes it actually is a lot. Considering the aim routine also asks you to perform most of the Aim Lab exercises 10 times, which means most of the day you're doing 40 exercises on aim lab, then going on to play some deathmatch before you can actually get into a game.

You might have also saw that some of the DMs you're supposed to play without sound (?????). Yes, you read right. What I have been told on this is that you're not using audio queue to skew your aim, the whole time you don't know what to expect and can only rely on your vision. If there is one thing you try from this aim routine, it should be that. It helped my gameplay so much and it would probably benefit yours. Here is also another trick from this aim routine that I keep in my pocket: Do not focus on winning deathmatches, focus on playing a deathmatch where you train what you are looking to improve. That is the focus on that aim routine and that will make you improve if you change your mentality towards DMs.

Finally, my opinion on the matter. As a casual gamer, I went through this aim routine for 30 days and respecting it religiously can make you improve. The biggest downside is that it is time consuming. If you have a full time job, like myself, you're stuck between "I just want to play", and "I have to be smart about how to improve since I don't have a lot of time". Well you're in luck, I already went through and I can tell you, doing this aim routine to the letter (10x per exercises and As many DMs as possible) will not make you improve and can make you mentally tired if you do it everyday, but if you reduce the number of exercises to 3x and play somewhere between 3 to 5 deathmatches, you might see the improvements you are looking for. Now, if you do have the time to spare, look no further, this is probably the BEST aim routine to get you to a good level where you will then need to start focusing on other more important aspects of the game.

Wow, that's a lot, sorry guys. I'm also open for comments and looking for other of these to test and make content on it in the future, so if you have some insider scoop on those, I'm willing to try them. As always, if you want more details on this, don't hesitate to go look at the video I made, and leave a comment on there or here and I will happily answer it!

And for all of you lazy bones:

TL;DR: I tired G2's aim routine for 30 days, it's divided in 5 different days focusing each on 5 different aspect of aiming. Cons: Time consuming, not suited for beginner players. Can reduce number of exercises and DMs played to make it less time consuming. Pros: If you have the time, most likely the best aim routine out there to develop your aim.

Thanks!
