The comment Curtis made about being a deep thinker being a disadvantage at the start has never resonated with me harder. I feel like from the start of me league journey I've been over thinking everything like I tend to do but I liked the game so much I've pushed through the learning curve even though it prob took me a year and some change. Thank you for the content as always Curtis
ahh this is making me want to grind league again. coach thank you very much for your vids i reached d1 with 70% winrate kr server after watching your nocturn vid years ago. sorry for late comment! i just want you to know there was a korean boy that studied english just to watch a english video abt chinese player play nocturn in korean server.
21:40 - 29:04 The discussions here also brings me to one of my favorite pieces of art, Ao Ashi (anime/manga). It has football (soccer) has the central setting, but I think this applies to most sports and games (and possibly a lot of things in real life too). I strongly encourage everyone here to see the anime at least😄It opened my eyes, just like this channel. So, Ao Ashi often encapsulates the things you guys said, especially the "intuition" part. Intuition is built by playing, repetition, pattern recognition, muscle memory etc.. , but it's also very important to keep thinking about things. If you keep thinking and thinking, at one point you don't even think about it anymore, it becomes like a second nature. And that's when you truly master things. I'm commenting all of this because I'm so happy to hear similar arguments here as well. In the past I thought differently about it, just like Sentrial said, and now I'm of the idea that intuition and confidence are among the most important factors: during the game we don't have the time to overthink the decisions we should make, and that's when our experience, and everything we built in our mind, comes into play. And in those moments, you know you can trust yourself, play with confidence and without doubts, and more easily get into a flow zone. As a side note, I think all of that is also why some players (sports or games) sometimes can't precisely explain all their decision making after making a specific play? Sometimes they'd answer: "it just felt like the right think to do in that moment". Coach Curtis definitely has more insight on this than me 😁
One big crucial info that was left on this video is that he has been playing league since season 1, took a hell of a time to get to chally. Nice video is good to know the stories behind people who really have grinded all the way up to the highest tier.
I don't play league anymore (needed to face my IRL problems) but I still religiously watch your content from this channel and the BBC podcast. I especially love videos like this where these people are being vulnerable and sharing all the unique insights they have gathered throughout their personal journey. It also makes me so happy seeing them reaching their goals. I don't even know this dude and I'm so proud of him getting to Challenger. Sometimes you are a bit too much of a dickrider for Riot (lmao sorry), BUT NGL your content had a huge impact on improving my life. You're not just a league of legends Coach, you're a life Coach.
i feel like this one is not as good as the others because most of this interview is centered around these nebulous 4th stage issues Sentriel was going thru... not saying he has to reveal them to the public by any means, but it does take away from the message that this guy just fixed all his Stage 4 problems and immediately skyrocketed up. what about those of us who don't have major Stage 4 issues and cant climb? i feel like this interview doesnt answer that question... not that it has to Congratz on the monster achievement Sentriel and thanks for the effort Coach!
Im not saying youre wrong or anything, but I think a big point is that you might not realise you have stage 4 issues holding you back, can be easy to get tunnel vision
Hey coach curtis, lol player here. I am also a high school student who also plays lol (4 years now), but i can't manage to get to gold. I've watch a bunch of guides and spam the same champion, and I will say i just suck at this game. Background info, i'm naturally good at analytical things like maths and piano, so understanding concepts is a breeze for me. But the second i get in the game, i have no hecking clue. So, you think i can get gold? I've tried many other games the best being val (plat 1). I try applying everything but maybe it's not enough, thanks for reading.
I think its very fair to say to treat league climbing like programming you build programming knowledge over time and keep watching learning and applying your variables into your game but even in programming eventually you get hard stuck and need something to push you to the next limits and level of your programming/ solo que journey.
@@theunwanted37 Oh, the interviewee mentioned listening to Jordan Peterson. He’s a pseudo-intellectual and part of the destructive alt-right pipeline despite trying to tell people he’s a centrist and completely logic-driven
