VALORANT
This lesson will explain what you need to know about initiators, how to synergize with your teammates, what your goals are on attack and defense, how to get the most out of your kit, timing intervals, and when to rotate
@steel
Starting my professional career in CS Source back in 2008, I've quickly made my way up the ladder in multiple titles including CS:S, CS:GO, and Valorant (and kinda Overwatch). Having played other games casually such as HoN, DOTA2, SC2, WC3, Overwatch, PUBG, and more I have taken what I have learned from other games to help myself become a veteran player, a professional, and a better in-game leader and coach. I've won multiple national and international tournaments over the years in different roles ranging from IGL, Primary Awp, Entry Fragger, Lurker, and Secondary Caller. Lessons with me will focus on understanding the game on a tactical level, understanding positioning, decision making, strategy, in-game leading, mid-rounding, defaulting, and all things macro related.

Hands-On
VALORANT
Only with consent of course. If you want to get the most out of coaching with ANY coach, you can't do one time lessons and come out the other side being able to remember everything, implement everything, etc. You need to track progress over time and go step by step. In this training plan, we will do three live sessions alternating between VOD reviews so that you can fully absorb everything. This training plan is all-purpose and not agent specific.

We'll end with another live session where we'll do the touch-up jobs, the sanding, the caulking, the filling in the holes. We don't want to leave you confused and want you fully prepared and equipped to understand situations on your own!
