I got trained by a professional VALORANT coach—and here’s what I learned

VALORANT, like any first-person shooter, comes with its own set of nuances. Is my crosshair placement too high? Am I spraying too much or not enough? How can I master counter-strafing? And is my sensitivity right?

The more you play VALORANT, the more your mechanics should improve. Things like flicking heads and jiggle peeking should become second nature as you rack up hours of gameplay and build that muscle memory. But some players might struggle to identify their mistakes, while others may plateau and find themselves hard stuck on the ranked ladder. 토토사이트추천

I wanted to polish my mechanics while also getting some help picking out common errors that might be holding me back. So I booked a one-on-one coaching session with Gamer Sensei, an esports coaching platform that offers lessons in a plethora of games. And I was instructed by FPS analyst Lukas Sankala, who’s also a coach for MENA powerhouse Team RA’AD.

To give a bit more context around my personal skill level, I’m a Platinum-level player who had never played a tac shooter until VALORANT. I don’t have too much time to grind the ranked ladder, evidenced by the fact that the only Act Rank Badge I completed was in Episode One, Act One. But I’m still constantly trying to improve my Vandal game and I hit Plat in every episode.

My coaching session with Sankala began with a simple display of skills—a game of Deathmatch. Nervous as I was, I began the match by missing four headshots on an AFK player. And those nerves eventually led to a mediocre sixth-place finish. But Sankala was quickly able to diagnose my strengths and weaknesses, gather a better sense of my playstyle, and assess what errors I needed to work on to improve my mechanics
