Is Your Decision Making Better Than An Immortal’s? 

I like this! I think it would be really cool to do these videos with two extra additions: 1: some clips where you made a flawed choice and were punished, or made a better choice but just whiffed/enemy read it and defending the logic behind it. 2: some clips of low elo (lol me) or mid-elo players, where it is less likely they make the "good" choice, or may be mechanically punished even when making a good choice

0:30 He should've spammed him, especially since no tracers on Phantom. Being immortal doesn't mean you always make the right decisions @everyone.

Yea, this is interesting making the video interactive and demonstrating how to analyse decision making in games. I like it, do make more videos!

I have watched 1000's of Valorant videos and this is a new idea I've come across in the way you've done it. I loved the video from the opening. Great stuff. I really enjoyed and learned from this.

I love this video, genuinely helped me feel more confident in my decision making because alot of the times I made the same decision.

icl i got all of them wrong lol, but learning more about how very quick decision making can change rounds is very helpful to me as a pretty new player. appreciate it big dog

I'm not sure what classes you main, but seeing your decision making for another class of agents would be nice as well. I don't play senti, so some scenarios were pretty uncommon for me.

Keep making vids like this it helps me understand what to do in these kinds of situations

this video is so flawed. please don’t take advice on this guys. the first clip is horrificly terrible and a misplay because the enemies misplayed the execute. Bend even in dia-immo is almost always seized naded, with backside being paranoia’d with a double dive and in this case the team should’ve used util off the fade ult. Dont use enemy misplays as a room to learn because valorant is about probability and making low risk-high reward plays in immo-rad and pro play. This video capitalises on the BLUNDERS of lucky clutches and enemy misplays rather than GOOD LOGICAL PLAYS. Assume you’re going to play retake on that 1v5, because of fade ult, do kill trips from halls, call a stack etc. double up mound to prevent exec. These are the right calls, not the first clip.

Love this video and its really unique which is great. One thing I would say is that in multiple instances there are multiple correct decisions you can make and its best to try and constantly switch it up depending on your opponent to make it less readable. For example in one of the first clips spamming the omen instead of repositioning is fine since your cage is up, you have a phantom (so they cant see tracers), and your team is also able to flood when you'd be up in a 4v3 if you and the omen both died. There is a chance that you leaving could be a better decision in that you're already up players and keep the space on the site while your team rotates in but it could also be worse as if the enemy team is fast enough to kill you before your team gets there, then its just a 4v4 and not as easy for your team to win the round. Just my thoughts, great video! :)

Very well done ! This video is so helpful for me :D

PLS MAKE A WHOLE SERIES OF VIDEOS LIKE THIS ILL WATCH EACH OF THEM

ur video has so many flaws like in the first clip the mistake u made is playing on site at all sine u know they have fade ult in the preround so u shouldve been ready to play retake on c instead and have set up some kind of push with your cam in the preround on b or mound trap play with your team. on the round where jett is lurking c u should break the turret because it tanks aggro and lets jett work c harder because they will be distracted by the turret going down. u just got lucky that the raze didnt expect you to be baiting so hard and if they grouped and hit site together they wouldve destroyed your gekko.

any decision can work as long as you can explain why you did that specific decision and go into very specific details on why it won or lost you a round.

These videos are absolutely amazing to help with making quick in game decisions, I would love to see more!

this is very informational and entertaining make more if you can

Yeah pls make more videos like this.ignore the pros. Its very helpful for us low rank players.

Love these types of vids

I LOVE these kinds of videos. Keep making more. This helped me a lot!

Keep up this format. Subbed.

I feel like my game sense is such a handicap for me so this opens up so much introspection! Ty for the video O’ wise one :)

ngl in the last clip i would prob cage myself or go backsite and tap then do the biggest wide swing ever and prob fuck up somehow

please more of this, very much helpful to me as a silver player that peeked gold 1 last season and since i dont play much val cause i dont have much time i want to be more efficient when i play ^^ new subscriber and also i got most of it right but suck at clutches

Please continue to make such videos. It really helps a lot of potato brains like me. Please do incorporate bad decisions and tell us why. That would be a blessing.

This Is so helpful make pls More of that

Only a matter of time before you blow up with this kind of videos

Subbing because I want to be notified if any more similar videos come out. I have seen these types of videos in League of Legends, but never in Valorant. Those types of League videos were the ones that helped me a ton in improving my gameplay. I'd also like to see you explain more basic concepts, like map control (why do we need to control this area, how do we take map control, how does utility affect map control), and expound on the other choices and how they bad the consequences are. Thanks for this video, I was so excited when I saw a decision making video on Valorant.

but these arent the only correct plays

The thing is, Valorant is not chess. There is no single perfect move, there are always options and risks associated with them.

Your vids are great keep it up

Wait this video idea concept is so cool! I'll def be tuning into this if you make it a series. Also, I made different decisions that probably cost rounds multiple times in this video.

Loved your video! It really got me thinking more and I am already thinking about what I could do different in my games!

My initial thoughts for each pause: 1 - stay on site, play IN cage, hope for 2, making retake much easier on team taking this a step further, we see the only site util is a fade ult (that misses us!) and no raze nade for bend, so an option we have is to back up after getting our 1 or 2 kills in cage if needed 2 - spam him; this is not hard (YOU ARE PLAYING FOR KILLS HERE! take the guarenteed kill rather than play for retake/flood with your team.) 3 - shoot the fade dog while moving right (its fat & you'll hit it) then with that reposition hopefully omen will whiff on you and you can kill him, or trade out your teammates 4 - dude why are you sitting in spawn side b-main... 50 seconds have already passed; Annnnyways, under ideal scenarios I'd push b main, go for a late flank to hopefully kill the 1 or 2 remaining after the site retake The problem I see with this is the pace of the lurk is really really bad. you should ideally be staring at c-link at the moment you pause to make the lurk more effective, making it so you can call out rotates coming spawnside from C -> A BUT Because you are bad at lurking, go back A and hold the stairs push 5 - both are good. I'd back up to play spike though I would ideally comm to fade to tell me how much util they have; if they are out, then fall back to the breakable angle to play for spam on tap (retrospection for 5) - yeah, see how he cleared the cypher? If he kills cypher insta there (like a high level player can), the round is very losable. 6 - bro this is far too passive. 90% of the round after the kill is just you staring at a wall. BREAK THE TURRET INSTANT!!!!! we can infer that Reyna is solo B inting because its buy round -> default spread of a 2-1-2 or 1-1-3, therefore after killing the solo B player we can break turret and sow chaos, ideally having a trip to cover b-main so we can leave, or cam and look to take space in link 7 - if raze dies I wide swing right. If not, easy defuse. Pros don't fake. 8 - instant turret break and hope for the fast timing on tree to shoot him in the sliver of opening. If not, then look to fight a 1v1 postplant, where I know he can't be heaven, so clearing site is much easier (this is basically the same as wrapping spawn, except the entry angle is different [same odds of winning]) One of the reasons I DON'T wait for turret to go down is cuz that range is huge!!! I play killjoy- that turret radius goes into tree I'm pretty sure. You're waiting way too long. 9 - hold for 1s. walk foward towards default and wrap backsite (dude what rank is this??? what the hell is kj doing?) 10 - (damn this is a crappy buy!) Break the turret. Pistol round defense usually looks like 1-1-3, or 1-0-4 (where kj util is on B) because there's no one b-main after 23 seconds of the round, just break turret and leave, play the midround 11 - its a stinger. wide swwwwwwwwwwwwwing (retrospection) yep. 12 - tiny committed swing, shoot burst, back off 13 - need more info. did they entry from ct? if yes: wrap ct. if no: go down garage, and walk out 14 - cage, plant, wideswing out of cage right side after they start spamming/if we hear noise if they stay committed to walk up no noise, stick plant, cage again, play backsite and 1v1

I like this content, it really fits for what i need, Actually making decisions, Also, i was thinking if you could make a video like this of bad decisions and talk about how it should have been done

Im Iron 3 but I was able to guess everything except the Raze part to go to stairs and the Omen or Fade Dog scenario.

1- Raze is satchelling. You kill her mid air, Ult, Use jail to leave to pillar behind Fade Ult. Lets see how it goes (Reposition happened, but i would've ulted Raze's body long ago lol) 2- The flank is not a bad move, but cam is in your pocket. This means you can't ping enemies in A main, neither support them from behind. If cam was in A, you could play flank. Ulting for fade was good, but ulting was more helping you bc you were far away and didn't had intel. Comms open this ult should be unnecessary and you would be able to play tap with your cam (THAT IS STILL IN YOUR POCKET, BTW)

My issue isn't that I can make these decisions. My issue is that I can't make them on the fly lol.

1st clip: 1. fight cuz cyp should fight on sides and plays of his trips especially when u dodge fade ult. 2. kill omen cuz noone can easily punish me for that move (omen is the only one who can tp close and this trip made for fighting on side) 3. kill the prowler and keep fighting for stairs control, u cant be sure there is no fade swinging of this dog and omen didnt prefire u based on info from fade so isolate fight with fade who should swing with it + especially when ur eco is shit like there u should value ur ability to stay alive more and do less high-risk - high-revard plays in 5v3 4. do not use my ult cuz we are already 5v2 or 5v1 so no reason (all of ur teammates are here noone would be punished by flanker) 2nd clip: 1. if im confident my team wouldnt die in 10 seconds ill push B especially if hobbit door is broken (i would be more proactive of the start of the round when i see my team is start planting i would be already in sorta b main/cubby watching C flank howewer if im not confident ill go back main full sprint to help watch stairs faster before retake is started 2. doesnt matter cuz my fade have odin and could spam of the tap ill just hide cuz there is no time to kill fade me and defuse so i wouldnt take that high-risk play 3rd clip: 1. obv keep silent cuz ur team already make pressure on A and enemys rotating back to A which gives a window for jett and ur pressure make them go back to b and c from a (after killing raze i would immideately destroy turret to make pressure from flanking and win additional time) 4th clip: 1. 1stly help destroying gekko thrash cuz if he catch raze its joever, 2ndly if u trusting ur teammate stick it if not let go and fight together 5th clip: nothing to say perfect execute :) 6th clip: 1. swing back throw cam if noone B ready to punish me ill destroy turret and open cam again if i see noone again ill keep lurking if i see someone ill fight but 2 trips is unnecessary for pistol i would rather have ghost and cage so i can additionally use cage to fight or taking space on B create extra pressure and win more time if i decide to go back spawn for them thinking i am still lurking around 2. yeah ur 2nd trip isnt holding C push so its useless for A hit and u get punnished cuz u feel safe in spawn when it isnt 7th clip: 1. stinger is op for run&gun tho 2. throw my cam and instantly swinging without opening it to throw enemy jett crosshair and make the odds of this fight a 70/30 for me (be aware of push cuz jett can push u easily while u was thinking about cam position) 8th clip: 1. spawn obv choise 2. throw cage wrap around side and plant for ct use my cam and go back garage after 1st tap use my cam and slowly start going to side and free backstab (im low and cant give a fair 1v1) Open for debate 😀 overall good video however cant agree with all of this (sorry for my bad english isnt my major)

more videos like this pls! this made me realize i need to improve in my decision making skills

7:30 it was actually run n gun 😂

This is a great type of video. I realize my decision making isn't as bad as I thought.

3:30 i think u tag the turret with your cam and cage to destroy it and hold back to an off angle and if they dont come back b main u either open door or flank depending how your teamates play

nice vid. hope other agents make into these vids other than cyph too lol

Absolutely love this style of video, please post more. Here are some thoughts I had on one of the clips. For the clip at 6:48, I would be cam out to see whether someone is next to the wall it looks like you're preaiming, then destroy the kj turret to deny more info as they already know you're there. After the omen kill I would 100% shoot the kj turret and continue through b, not destroying the turret and rotating back is actually what got you killed. KJ knew 100% that you left b main due to the turret still being up meaning she was fully confident in holding for when you walked out. Finally, on lotus, you keep placing a trip for both a and c, which is pretty useless on the rounds where your team is full rushing a site like on pistol round. If the team is going A and you plan on lurking B, the A trip isn't necessary as if they flank from C, the C trip will get them, and if they try to flank from b, you will kill them. If they win the fight against you, all of your trips go down and none of this matters anyway. Last thing, as someone already pointed out, the pistol round buy is very goofy. The second trip isn't needed here and usually people buy 2 cages and a trip with light armor to help their team entry on attack, and use one cage in your setup and the other for retake on defense. If you're lurking, I personally would prefer a ghost. The cage could also be used to cage off c link after the omen kill which would create even more pressure than destroying the turret, since now the enemy team is seriously thinking you're running through the site. The heaven player is dead, and you could check for a player in breakable using your cam on a close corner. I had some other differing opinions but I'll just post this for now. Again, would love to see more vids like this)

Solid concept of the video i do enjoy it however as radiant player watching you play i do notice quite a few mistakes throughout the video, keep reviewing your gameplay and youll rank up in no time :D

i got most of these right with less than a month of playing, i dont really play cypher so i had to skip the util use against jett quetion lol, also the only other question i struggled with ws the kj hold on lotus as i felt like beiing spotted there froze me nd anything i do now is predictable. very nice video concept, tho it is important to note tht many bad decisions can appear good if u carry them mechnically or if the enemy makes mistakes. nd the opposite is also true.

For the last one (Peak plat- current gold) I'm not confident in my aim so for that duel C long I would've caged, planted placed cam on the wall then hid.

Please make more of these, u could add like a explanation as to why that decision was good opposed to the other decisions as well as maybe like a A. B. C. option on screen so we can "pick" our option

Do more of this videos pls loved it

as a duelist player at gold i only got 1 right which was the first one to fight the lotus C rush, the rest just me deciding to fight anyone who i see

please post more of these, these could help a lot

this is great and helpful, but I do wosh you'd expand on the explanations, especially on the choices you didn't make

I dislike how people are talking about how it has flaws. Yeah it does. Yeah we have hindsight bias, Yeah we're prolly not immoral

really love this content, just diffffffff~

this is really cool! i would appreciate if you'd make such kind of videos for other agents too!

I came from console ow at beginning of 2024 I was gm/top 500 on that and a high rank on a few other games in this video with the situations given I would only have made 2 different decisions one was with the omen who got caught in trap in first clip I would have shot him and yes I’m aware I could get spammed back or pushed but certain things come natural as I go up in rank in plat where I currently am my team probably wouldn’t be there to follow up to protect me on site so in my head I gotta get that pick so it’s easier for my team to win the round as I have been going up I make different decisions because it’s easier to play off your team the higher the rank you go. My main issue is that I can’t win a lot of duels because I’m facing players with thousands of hours on mouse and keyboard in comparison to my not even probably 500 at this point maybe it’s ego saying this but as I’m a analytical player once I get better aim through playing and practice immortal isn’t that far away like I’m already gm on overwatch pc just by using characters that require more brain than aim rn

kinda funny that im also immortal and i made every opposite decision to you, i play aggressive duelists though reyna and jett

i dont agree with 3:24, often when they place a turret on b, nobody is watching which means that u can safely destroy the turret and then go back to ur angle on main. This will give ur team more time to setup on c, because they r now worried that somebody can lurk up b

Keep up this trend

0:30 i think there is no harm in spamming that omen, because ur location is already spotted via raze, little movement to save urself from death isnt going to help in a long run when team failed to retake. How you have to fight with one more enemy where you could have easily got the frag through cyper cage

Nice video. Just that at 3:24 you should have broke the turret. Like not at 3:24 but much earlier than that. I am not immortal (cos no time). I believe that if your team is scaling up C and A, or creating pressure, you should too. Like ping the kj turret, cage it and spam the turret if you are scared someone is holding with the turret (extremely unlikely if you broke the turret much earlier than 3:24). But nice video nonetheless.

1 (4-5): we see they have fade ult and were playing on site, it is what it is. ideally we'd play to retake this site but at this point all we can do is cage and pray we live. kill on raze was good, probably had time to shoot the omen while the cage is still up but falling back is understandable. definitely shouldve used our second cage at 0:34 to stay alive or reposition back site since any of the other 3 people flooding in with raze couldve killed you. 2 (4-5 ii): there is a fade dog coming straight at you and we dont have good enough information to assume we can just take a 1v1 against omen. here, we should just break the dog and run away (ideally with the cage we still have). even if we do have information that he is alone (by checking the cam or whatnot), its still better to stay alive since we are in an advantageous position and none of our teammates are close enough to help quite yet (dying here would put us in a 4v3, which isn't ideal-- the difference between the odds of winning a 5v2 vs a 5v3 isnt big enough to justify taking this risk). 3 (8-7): at the beginning of this clip, our team has already made contact A and are really deep into the execute. at this point, we should already have control of b main (ideally by using your cam for early information). additionally, at this point, we can already assume that a potential flanker wouldve already walked out of B main/C main so we should be further up anyways (once you think of lurking/flanking in this game as a turn-based system, you can feel more confident lurking aggressively and creating more/better timings to work with). once the bomb is down, it would be better to commit to the lurk since 1) it creates pressure and 2) the killjoy turret wouldve been down if she was in a position to retake and because rotating A main wouldnt really help too much since we wont be able to get there fast enough to create enough pressure to help (the enemies would likely be out of stairs already by the time we are able to take the fight. 4 (8-7 ii): we rotated A main and killed fade and used our ult, which is good. rotating towards stairs side is also good. although we shouldve caged ourselves off to reposition. this would create pressure since raze would have to worry about both sides once the cage disappears and she would have to kill you and fade, while not having a lot of time left. additionally, you can swing through your cage at any time (i.e. if you were to swing off your fade's contact in tree). and since the bomb isnt planted in an ideal position for fade, if you died, your fade would have to take a 1v1 to deny the defuse. however, we win the gunfight and round which is great. 5 (10-7): good early pick on reyna, couldve taken b main a little faster but it doesn't really matter too much. breaking the turret at this point would create a lot of pressure for the enemies since their reyna (who is probably their solo B player) just died, and they would have to move another player to watch that choke point. and since our omen is inserted rubble and our team made presence C, the enemies would have to spread their defense thin, giving us a great mid-round and making a site execute a lot easier. breaking the turret after the bomb is planted C would also be a good time to do so since this would create a lot of pressure for the enemies since there is an active threat of a flank from B. we kill raze on the flank which is nice. everything after this point doesnt really matter since were in a good position to win the round anyways. 6 (11-8): our b player is dead and our gekko, who is pushing out a main is dead. our neon walked out C. we shoulve recalled the cam already but we get the pick on clove and pop our ult which is fine. caging the bomb instead of B main is also a great microdecision since it allows them to spam/use gekko ult. honestly its a miracle that were alive after both of us were flashed but hey, we'll take it. at this point, we cant fight with raze since we are too far away, which i agree with. ideally she wouldnt be that close to the choke so that if gekko does swing wide enough to kill her, you can secure the trade and round. while this isnt something you can really control, if you communicated with raze that she should wait and you guys would fight together or you were going to stick and she comes back and holds, that would be much better instead. honestly unfortunate that gekko kills you here, but your raze does get the trade which is fine. 7 (5-5): pushing past the turret while its down is a great decision. my only problem is that we didnt take back the cam once we left C (you already had a trip c main so the cam wouldnt have provided new information anyways). we also couldve full sprinted a little further once she tapped the bomb. we couldve held a wider angle for killjoy (just in the small off chance that she does walk into stairs from a main) but holding that angle is just fine (it might seem a little paranoid, but the killjoy shouldnt expect you in a main anyways). at 6:14, our cam wouldve been really useful but since we dont have access to such information and because we dont have any cages, we just have to isolate angles and pray we dont get timing'd. honestly, we probably shouldve died since she was holding the off angle but we clutched the round which is great. 8 (6-6): we're already spotted by the killjoy turret, might as well tuck back a little and break it. and since the enemies smoked off a main, your team is in a great position to do a b split from breakable. however, we kill omen which is great. also should be a little more weary of where our trip is and where the enemies could be, but i dont blame you for not expecting killjoy there. furthermore, if you make it a habit to break the turret every round (or most rounds), they would have to move another player to watch B main, spreading their defense thin, which is great for the midround. 9 (2-8): looking at our abilities, we never used our camera, which is a problem. we couldve used it for early information or to watch another choke point, but at this point its too late and it doesnt really matter. the reyna already knows were coming heaven so trying to catch her off guard with a swing here while shes still heaven is a good decision. if we let her get away into garden, then it would be a problem since our team would not be comfortable retaking. also couldve waited a little longer for the cypher ult (look at where your teammates are), but the round was pretty chaotic up to here, so i don't blame you. using the cam to bait jett is a good decision (even if we died, our phoenix would have a really easy trade). we killed clove and secured the round, yippee!! 10 (6-8): going from spawn is good, and using time pressure to threaten a potential reposition is great. my only problem is that at 8:53 were walking into the open without using any cages or cam. clove already knows you have to be on or near site since there is 15 seconds left with the bomb down so taking that risk was unnecessary. we also couldve used our cages to pick up and plant the bomb safely and use the cam to find clove once bomb is down, but it is what it is. clove shouldve killed us but luckily she whiffs and we get away. at this point, we HAVE to use our cage and plant or go around back site. going wide and taking the fight is fine, but if she tucks cubby, we are under a lot of time pressure and this is just a risk we don't need to take. looking at your gameplay, it looks like we're too scared to make presence. not all lurks have to be silent (in fact, its better to be known, break sentinel utility and condition the enemies into moving another player to watch a choke since the threat of you actually committing to the lurk forces enemies to spread out, creating more opportunities on attack). by actively threatening a lurk, instead of waiting for sentinel utility to go down, we have access to much better timings and that extra pressure will help us secure longer rounds. i know im talking a lot about ideals, but were playing to climb and go against better opponents, unless you intend to stay at your current rank forever. this isnt meant to trash on any of the decisions you made-- im just trying to share my insights as someone who also plays sentinel/viper and lurks a lot.

I just dropped 40 kills in the game after watching this video!!! 🙌🙌🙌

In the first cypher clip 1.I wouldve stayed and fight 2. Spam the omen and place a cage under me to reposition 3. Kill fade dog and wait for my team to crossfire fade

First clip I'm shooting the omen through the smoke anyday. If you kill him, even if you get traded out your team has the man advantage so they can just play trades

I would've pop shot at the omen while also right after the shot moving back to play for util and also listening for people walking though my cage, if I didn't kill the omen i would shoot the fade dog while also keeping myself from getting peaked with it, at this point my while team is here ( jett was with me at the start and it was a flood retake) i keep the fade from pushing backsite (which is what she should have done instead of hiding in a corner and letting herself get put there) the whole enemy team could've played it better, but that's how wins happen (you also had another smoke to continue to delay

the first one was a bit weird, the last 2 choices were just weird, you saw omen stuck in a tripwire why not take 2s to shoot instead of making problems as we see at the last choice, and the last choice was also weird if fade dog catches you, omen will easily kill you and omen already knew where you were

I feel I do the right things for the wrong reasons =P

im impatient is what i got from this vid

6:34 that kj was on tiktok not in game

I would’ve spammed omen, he was the first to come in so no one can trade close😊

Its a nice video but maybe explain even more why, also tell some other possibilitys

So id say im about ascendant 3 for sure 🤔

for the first one i would've tried to get a pick and repositon and play retake with my team then i would've shot the fade dog since i have bullets and i know where the omenn is and then its a 3v5 ez claps

some of these choices were kinda mid tbh, like not shooting the omen to create a multitude of overcomplicated choices to get that kill later on, or falling back to your team playing on site to cover stairs. you wouldnt have needed to fall back to your team if you were already deep in B lurking up behind the enemy team. just staying in your spawn and holding B for a potential flank rendered you completely useless as opposed to pushing up and taking free space. then shooting the turret as fast as possible to create immediate extra pressure was also a no brainer. as a fellow immo player, i think you could benefit from being a little more aggressive, but to a controllable degree. just my opinion though and im no expert, if your playstyle works for you and you win games, then thats great. you play more of a "surprise, i was here the whole time" while i play "pretend to have a lot of space and then appear elsewhere", so it was fun watching your gameplay and thinking about what you did differently from what i would have done and how it affected the round

I'd run through the smoke to 1v5 on the first clip on god

Omens body didnt fully materialize after his initial teleport so you could of just shot him instead of re-positioning but ok.

I got most of them "correct". Just gotta do these ingame now. dont have 5 seconds to pause the game and think about them in the heat of the moment

I made nearly the exact same decisions except for like 1 or 2, but I'm bronze 3 xd Clearly I deserve immortal amirite

really cool video

subbed

good video but theres a difference between how an immortal jett/sova/omen and cypher thinks

my problem with this video is that i am a yoru player and i love messing with poeple before killing them so my thinking process is alot diffrent (peak dia 1)

Thoughts from a plat raze one-trick that doesn't play the game often. your micro decision making is really amazing so good. your macro decision-making seems completely counterintuitive and off to me in a lot of the clips. feels like you don't consider your teammates enough and bit passive at times. your micro is insane and compensates for it tho. thats my vibe. First clip: great macro decision making, it isnt hard to see fighting is correct imo, i would do a quick glance at minimap there as the exec is happening. i would see jett is already on site to play off of me and fade can easily support with a fade eye from her spot and easily close enough to play off jett as well, ur basically 3 stacked, no shot u go for retake there. seems obvious to me, would've made the same decision. the micro decisions not shooting omen and not shooting fade dog were really counterintuitive to me. i would've gone for killing omen, just doesn't register that getting traded is super likely in that situation, feels like ur close enough to corner to burst a couple shots and get to cover before dying. Not shooting the fade dog seemed like the right play for sure but would not have made that decision in the moment. insane decision if that was calculated. 2nd clip: would've def just pushed B main there, didn't even register to go back to cover stairs lmao. i would glance at minimap, see gekko has stairs. plus 2 tree, omen pushed deep site. looks like my team has site fully covered already so i'd just wait for enemies to begin retake and flank off that timing. enemies would notice cypher unknown and would have to be wary of flank and just very annoying for them. if it was 5v4 i would go back but 5v5 threatening this flank seems pretty stressful for the defense. i wouldnt push until i see enemies show presence on A. going back to cover stairs just didn't even register in my brain tbh. well the second after u resumed the clip, gekko gave up stairs and went site but i still would've committed to the flank. also just noticed its planted for A main when we had full site control and 2 players tree. not sure why our team didn't plant for tree or go back a main to play off that plant spot. 3rd clip: I would cage first and then cross to stairs. not sure why we don't cage. if i cage, no chance of raze swinging and killing me while i cross, it gives a timing for raze to isolate fade i guess but even in that worst case raze runs at fade, kills her, raze still has no idea if you crossed or not and has to walk/run back to bomb, tap and still its a 50/50 for the raze where you will peek from but u have perfect info on where raze is. seems super favorable even in the worst case. if fade peeks raze for some reason, you can trade off the minimap (through the cage or even without its still favorable) because raze will be in the open and has to like hit a full 45 degree flick one tap/spray transfer to kill u basically. 4th clip: I would cam for info to see where turret is then cage and kill turret through cage(i'm copying this play straight from VCT, didn't come up with it on my own, would not do this if i didn't see it in a VCT match) jett has C atp. Enemy raze was A, KJ B or water. Omen probably B maybe A. maybe even call for an omen smoke B to bait them into thinking its B so we guarantee get C for free. don't want them to feel zero pressure cuz it'll make it more likely for them to just rotate/check C before our team gets to C first. I feel like its pretty low risk if we just use our util to help us break turret but I understand not dying is super important here so maybe playing it ultra safe is the best. 5th clip: i would've stuck too cuz seems unwinnable for gekko that way, if he swings and kills me, raze trades, if he kills raze, probably enough time to defuse. I didn't notice this in the moment and raze did not comm it but raze ran out of odin ammo and only has a classic. no clue how much health gekko has at this point either. if we had good comms from our raze i think the play is to hold because its possible to lose if gekko has full hp because raze only has a classic. if gekko is one hp then, play is still to hold. zero comms from our teammates is sad. 6th clip: would've been too eager and pushed turret while it was up. i think your decision makes more sense. well played by you. i see kj has ult so if she has full site control, can plant for tree and ult in tree + mollies to stall. don't want her to be able to get her ideal plant position. looks like she went for a diff play tho, maybe just too predictable to go for the ult play. idk. after my position is known, i push stairs to heaven, i'm expecting kj to not swing at all until i tap bomb and mollies go off and stuff(im assuming she has both but obv don't have that info). she planted for backsite. pretty unlikely she plays tree, i'm assuming she's playing heaven or drop. i don't really get kj's play at all tbh. 7th clip: i don't get this peek into B so early, timing feels way too early your team hasn't made contact with a single enemy on A yet, seems way too early to show presence alone. idk, need the full round context and info on where enemies were earlier in the round i guess idk. Great micro decision of not shooting the turret & staying there. i guess you know they can't be C link somehow based on info earlier, so easy to stay in that spot and hold that strong off-angle with good crosshair placement to punish the omen attempting to reclear.i would've died to you as well. 8th: wide swing asap probably the best fight we ever get with our stinger this round so have to capitalize instantly before we're useless. nice run n gun. i wouldn't insta ult. have plenty of time. would back up a ton to avoid getting traded and check minimap after the kill, see that my teammates aren't ready to retake with me, comm that i have cypher ult for retake, comm with clove for their smokes, then ult and flood. pretty strong retake esp if we have smoke and phoenix util. Again, amazing micro to peek with the cam, cool cypher tech, great play to get the advantage in that 1v1, didn't know that existed. even if i knew about that cypher cam peek, i still don't think i do it, would just wait to retake with team since i got the cypher ult. clove didn't even participate in the retake seemed pretty lost(comms would've helped) so it was a 2v3 retake unnecessarily. plenty of time for clove to run and catch up and help out. 9th: I don't feel comfortable holding garage the way you are at the start, i would just look at the window entrance to isolate that angle so not exposed to both garage and window entrance. i would go long through attackers side, hoping clove isn't pushed CT or playing onsite. have a cam and cages and a lot of time to work with. i don't really know though. After grabbing bomb, I would go to plant backsite and then cage logs side. i think clove doesn't have enough time to get to you before plant + cage starting all the way in cubby. just going wide and winning the 50/50 i dont think is the highest % chance to win that round.

this is alright and all, but um.. dont mean shit when you got a guy staring at the wall counting pixels, and two dudes who cant shoot to save their lives.. 🤷🤷

i made excatly opposing decisions. 1v5 is a bad fight, you can easily get overran. like if raze could hit her shots, ud be dead. Then shoot at omen cause he free kill. Then shoot fade dog because if literally half a second later you saw that omen, youd be dead.

Ive just realised after watching this video that my decisionmaking isnt that bad

I LOVE YOU

just like zammey!

So do opposite of what you think and you will be immortal

6:49 at here I thought it was good to break turret at a safe angle and hold which would lead to similar outcomes but with one less info for enemy?

U cant think as imo in plat bc ur team is not doing anything and their team has all coms and everything, killing u through smoke

YES KEEP NO COMMING UR GONNA MAKE IT WITH YOUR DECISION MAKING VIDEOS

my decisions are mostly on the same page as yours, man I should be immortal (jk my positioning and horrible aim ain't going there, hello silvie the silver) but also, on the last clip, would it be a wise decision to throw cypher cage, fake plant then move to the right, same reason as you put there? or would immortals generally just let the plant happen and fight from there?

8:59 personally i think going back site and planting is the strat here no? im curious to your opinion

Yup, this video confirms that I’m actually an immortal and it’s just my teammates holdin me back 😎

on lotus, you dont know wether or not the team is rotating. So you are leaving the B site open for KJ. Your team has been playing 4v5 that entire round. Youve literally just been watching a flank comming from an empty site which is being defended by kj turret. And then saying missed shots on purpose to waste time.... Yeah, because wasting time and dying is better than getting double kill, winning the round and keeping the gun. When i shoot to waste time, its usually against some random wall in dirrection of enemy, so they know they can not attempt the defuse, but im also in no danger of getting shot at.

tho this video... answers what? Wether my decision making is same as immortals or better than immortals? if i dont pick same decisions as you, that means theyre either better or worse. if i pick same, then the answer to your video title is "no",

i got like every single thing right (almost) but im still in silver lobbies. my aim is decent enough for diomand cause i've played with them. is it solo queing or something like that? or even agent select
