Valorant is my first shot at a competitive FPS. I first tried the game last October, I think, and have since rage deleted the game 2 or 3 times. As a total noob, it was super hard to get kills, I don’t even last a minute per round, and on top of that, my team trashtalks the hell out of me.

While watching pro players on youtube and seeing how insanely efficient their movements are, and how insanely fast their reaction times were, I got inspired to give the game another chance. By doing some research, I learned stuff from a bunch of tutorials on youtube for crosshair placement, counter-strafing, pre-aming, etc. and applied them to my game each time. Improving one aspect of my game little by little. I even bought Kovaak’s (I hate spending cash on games, most esp since this one is free-to-play), downloaded Aim Labs, but I got really lazy (ngl) so I just went ahead and practiced in game lol.

Anyway, with more or less 70hrs of playing Valorant (both competitive and unranked), I finally achieved getting to Bronze 2. Yeah I know, this post is super long for an Iron to Bronze type of post, but who cares. I’m freaking happy with my progress. I started practicing (and taking it seriously) 30mins to an hour a day in Kovaak’s, and I’m hoping to reach Silver soon.
