VALORANT Fundamentals from YAY - Crosshair Placement and Jiggling 

Please, Post content like this consistently, learning from the El Diablo himself is a great honor.

After watching your incredible performance at VCT 2022, we hope this series will continue. Your probably really busy and stuff, but this was so well explained and it means a lot coming from you. Wishing you even more success in 2023!

More than a year-old tutorial but it’s better than most of the tutorials on VALORANT fundamentals I’ve watched on RU-vid.

You forgot the timestamps :D You can just add lines like "MM:SS " to the bottom of the description and RU-vid will detect it. For example: 00:00 Intro 00:37 Why make this series 3:17 Topics for the day 3:28 Importance of Crosshair Placement 5:28 Good Crosshair Examples 8:52 Peaking and Crosshair Adjustment 10:02 Wide Swinging 10:45 Jiggle Peaking 11:53 Jump Peaking 14:03 How to decide where to point Crosshair? (Clearing) 15:40 Pro tip: Change Your Own Elevation 17:21 Baiting a Shot to Clear Multiple Angles (Doorways) 17:50 Fast and Silent Jiggle 18:24 Wall Hugging 19:34 How to Clear Angles Summary 20:11 Outro: Comment Your Suggestions Below (Feel free to copy paste this)

crosshair placement 0:00 peaking/jiggling 8:52 . thank you yay, great video

This is still by far the best tutorial on RU-vid despite being 2 years old. I always link this to my friends and to people who is asking for tips on Reddit. This single handedly increased my headshot percent from 15ish to 25 on average and helped me win a lot of my gun fights. Thanks for this gem Yay, I'm always rooting for you during VCT

I love this. Usually tutorials will say "Crosshair placement. Game sense" And in a way literally no tutorial will show u an example at all. It's weird. I love how you give scenarios within the maps itself! Great video

You know, this is the perfect time to return to this series. I can’t imagine your stock being higher after Berlin and now that you’ve exploded onto the scene I’m sure you have a lot more that would be excited to follow your content. In many ways this is your moment. That’s awesome. I know for me, I watched this video a year ago before I knew much about you. I liked it, recognized the knowledge, but thanks to human nature, watching it again today it landed differently. Knowing that you aren’t just a tier 3 pro, but rather one of the best players in the world gives your words an extra authority. If you wanted to build a RU-vid channel, with this newfound authority, now is the time. I would mention getting a better microphone (not a headset) would be a large improvement sound quality wise. The gold standard is the SM7B. It requires more audio pieces to drive it though, so if you want help with understanding how to improve they portion of your setup I would be happy to help. I’ve been running a small podcast for over two years so I know a bit about it. But I’m sure there are others that can help you too. Also, lastly, it’s not up to me, but I know a lot of people go the “let’s just hire a YT editor and have them make stream highlights route” and I would be deeply saddened for that to be the sole content on this channel when you have the capacity to teach so much more. I mean, how many 12 year old teammates have you played with that just don’t know what they are doing? This isn’t CS it’s a young scene and the kids aren’t being taught. You can help teach this scene. And for me, that is the content I want to see and I want in Valorant. Don’t leave the teaching to those clickbait bullshit channels.

Glad you're doing this. It's really hard to get detailed perspectives from players that typically "frag out" in the traditional sense. Usually the people making these kinds of videos are IGLs / veteran players that typically tailor their playstyles in service to their teammates. Not that there is anything wrong with those players or what they say but getting to learn from someone who plays how I imagine most people want to play is extremely valueabe, at least to me. I don't know if you do lessons but I'd consider it if it was offered. Great video!

almost 4 years and yay still got the best tutorial. Legend 🙏🏻

Actual based video, this is the kind of videos I want to see of Valorant but the algorithm does it dirty, had to find this video through finding you on the leaderboards and subscribing. Real shame this isn't seen by more people.

Let's all upvote this so that El Diablo himself will continue this series. This guy smurfs in VCT, he's a beast. A RU-vid series from the best will go so viral. We can do this guys!

just watched you play tsm and you killed it, im a new fan!

Saw you yesterday first time... 10 seconds and i was your fan ❤️

This is so useful and important. I'm really really glad that we have a pro (and one of the best pros for that one) going in-depth with Valorant concepts and the fundamentals are a great starting point. I'm so tired of the other "guides" on RU-vid created by random ass people who are plat 3 at best and their content is basically just reiteration of other videos over and over and over. So I'm really very happy to see your video please make more content like this!

Thank you Yay! I honestly can't stress how crucial this is. A lot of Valorant pros usually put titles like, "How ..." but never actually explain in detail like you. Thank you!

I've watched countless guides but THIS video has helped more than anything. Every player needs to watch this. I love Yay as a player and dude even more now

congrats for win today man !

First off, thank you for calling out the people bsing. I'm really trying to learn, as a console player immediately jumping onto valorant. It doesn't help being taught straight wrong. Second, great explanations. For improvements, perhaps a backdrop?

Bro keep on grinding man, you have to be the most underrated player I’ve ever watched. Like you have some of the most insane plays I’ve ever seen. Please stay humble cause you got the formula for success👊

Really would love to see more content of this nature :D. Exploring and breaking down the nit picky aspects of the game. Positioning and decision making hand in hand would be something I'd personally love to hear about from El Diablo's perspective. (Especially considering how much this video helped me improve at valorant/CS)

Damn this guy has 54 subs and gets about as many viewers in the first day as I do with 6500 subs. Let us all gather around to celebrate the size of this dub.

This came up on my algorithm and just watched it for the sake of it. I’m low radiant so I just kinda wanted to hear your thoughts, but this video was great. I linked this to a bunch of people I know who are just getting started with the game because this has to be the best intro guide I’ve seen for people period. Great video.

i appreciate these videos, nobody has this type of educational content anymore thank u

Yay you have to do more of these after winning man pls!!!

aged like fine wine, top 3 in the world hands down

Man. I have been playing Valorant for a few months. This is the best guide video going. Wish you would of made more. Thank you for this one.

Hopefully one day this guy goes pro he seems like a really good player!

very glad this goat existed

I would love to see a guide on map control and defaulting. It’s so difficult to understand how defaulting vary in this game compared to CSGO (in a competitive team environment). When explaining such key fundamentals I would appreciate some in-Game footage to see how it looks in real game scenarios

Greatest of all time yay

Just found this video two years after the upload date and still found it helpful. Thanks

rIGHT NOW 26/04/22 THE BEST PLAYER IN THE EARTH

Please make part 2 if you have time I love it :D gl in VCT hope to see you winning Berlin with NV

i'm a bronze noob whose friends are mostly gold-plat and i've been trying to climb and get better so i can play with them :D this video was really informative & i'm going to try to practice checking angles in custom and dm! if you have the time, i really hope you consider continuing this series!! 💛

yay is my favorite valo pro player, hope you continue to do contents like this. you're amazing sir 💯

Your mouse control is insane, crosshair placement is one thing but your perfect angle "flicks" are insane too.

Big win today

still waiting more tips from you, The GOAT.

I would love to see more informative videos like this from yay. It is amazing how he describes the scenarios and techniques like a gaming teacher. Loved it! thanks yay.

day 999999+ asking yay to continue this series🙏

This is such a great video please make more it really changed the way I play with positive success! The bit about jiggling without peeking the angle has helped me a lot.

nice work dude, looking forward to more :) hugs from br

This video was so helpful. Please when you have spare time, consider doing more videos like this one; maybe about clutching, or postplant, or anything else actually.

looking forward to more :)

The aim lord himself! This is a great video from an amazing player - we'd love to see more content from you, your insights are very helpful. You're right about a lot of the advice on youtube being this sort of sensationalised, clickbaity thing, so a quality guide like this much needed. Keep being brilliant.

Been playing for a while and still learning some things I hadn't considered. Dont let these losses get on you yay keep your chin up my bro!

by far the best valo tutorial out there

Yay is so wholesome man I love this guy

Super helpful even up till now. Thanks for this amazing tutorial.

smooth like a controller

Watched It again after years From the Great El Diablo Lots Of Love Man

i have been waiting for this for ages

Really great video. I will be continuing to re-watch this in the future when I'm struggling because sometimes its good to review the basics and fundamentals.

The information yay has about peeking is so fucking good. I've been trying out his style of jiggling/peeking today and got several kills based off it alone.

yooo just came from your stream and chanced upon this video, good stuff my dude i hope your channel and career blow up🙏

Please continue this series

Its amazing to see someone with so much knowledge, so willing to share. and EXCITED to share! I know Im late to the party, but this was still a great watch. Plus ... I learnt a bit too. Cheers dude

video was fantastic, as a person totally new to cs go type shooters it explained a lot of concepts i've heard of but no one really dove into what they meant

thanks for the tips man, I just pick this game recently because I love watching esports, and by chance found VCT was on the season. W guides, cheers, and congrats for winning Reykjavik!

Thank you. I play this game at a high level and I couldnt agree more. Some of the blunders I see in this game have no intention other than clout behind them. Gotta start asking WHY we do the things we do, not just what they are. Keep it up yay. You are an awesome player and personality. ❤️

Hey YAY keep posting such videos it was really informative and helped me a lot

TIMESTAMPS 3:18 Crosshair Placement 8:53 Peaking 14:02 Clearing Angles

SIR brilliant work We just need more of this... We love your dream

This should have 3 million views tbh

kinda mad I found this so late, you're awesome man thank you

Great video. Insane performance at Berlin. Imma fan now

I thank you a lot for this video king My aim is way better after watching and practicing what you teached me I hope that you are happy, you deserve it 🥰

this video has helped me so much, it was fundamentals but personally i went from iron to plat within a month after practising all the things discussed here.

Yayster is so chill

2 years later and is now arguably the greatest player in Valorant

This is so cool, thanks!!! I really like your calm attitude

Love this so far ! Highlights in my opinion would be nice.

this guy seems pretty cool, i wonder if he'll become a pro for optic gaming at some point

yay is m fav when i saw you on valorant masters, Love From INDIA. You deserve 50 million subs

EL DIABLOOOOO i just watched this entire thing and it's still a great val tutorial a year later

bro, u are the best valorant youtuber ever

Crazy this is your frist vid bro, between this and the quality of your streams and chat interaction you have such a promising career as a content creator waiting once you finish pro play. Hopefully that isn't any time soon though.

Optic Yay pls make a video like this again please i beg you!!!

this is gold cant wait for more

Great tips. I hope the series continues. :)

wish you would do more of these they are very helpful :)

Happy you’re doing you got a new sub

Missing you my King❤

Yay we need more of this

Coming back to say good job yet again, I took a break from Val, came back. My crossbar placement was fine but I had no idea how to properly peek, good explanation dude

Please El Diablo, do more videos like this, I'm learning to much, and I don't wasting my time in RU-vid

Everyone can learn something from this, the content is great. You're a natural at articulating your thoughts effectively without dumbing things down. Your mic is picking up a fair amount of keyboard noise though. Looking forward to the next one!

love the video thanks yay, was thinking it would’ve been so funny if at the end of one of your clearing tutorials you got shot from a random omen on top of a box

We need more of these yay😩

Good luck bro, hugs from brazil

Man, would love this kind of vids more

pls post more videos like this , this was so helpfull i went from bronze 2 to s3 in 2 weeks after taking note to what you mentioned in the video , much love

I just like your new numbers stoking

my guy you explained that very well! thank you!

Why did I just found this? I need this my whole valorant play time

This is awesome! So excited for more of this:) it would be awesome if you could put in some in game clips of some examples!❤️

Still one of the greatest Valorant guides to date.

thank you yay, loved the video, i'll like more of this videos, I really wanna learn from you, huge fan here!!!!
