Can you share your background as a Valorant player, including your rank, achievements, and any competitive experience you may have? How has your own experience as a player informed your approach to coaching?
I played in different e-sports teams for 6 years almost, I played in a team called “KOI” for a few months, and I play different types of games such as CSGO, Rainbow Six Siege, and Apex Legends. Those were my FPS games mainly but I also play games such as Elden Ring, The Division 2, For Honor, Need For Speed, etc. I always wanted to do coaching and wanted to build players for games so I was already interested in it.
Can you describe your approach to coaching Valorant players? How do you personalize each session, and how do you ensure that your coaching clients understand the concepts you're teaching?
I always try to be a friend instead of a coach so they can talk with me much better than, being a professional player, each session we start with fundamentals, basics cause if you don’t understand basics it’s much harder to improve in the game and sometimes people don’t know correctly the basics or somebody teach them wrong, afterward basics we go in-game depth much more. When I’m teaching someone else sometimes people might be shy and can’t talk with you, I’ll ask them, if they understand it and needed to teach them again. If they tell you yes and you look in-game while they’re doing it, you’ll see they understand the thing you teaching them
How do you assess a player's performance in Valorant, and how do you provide feedback? Do you review recorded sessions, watch live gameplay, or use other methods for analysis?
When you watch the player in-game live you understand everything the way they do like Peeking, Strafing, Using movement, Utility usage, Predicting the enemy’s play style, and Predicting the enemy’s utility. Those things will immediately tell you about your player’s performance in-game and afterward, I teach them how things should be done and give them better ideas about how they should need to play. I review the games live but, if the client wants just a Vod review I also vod review as well and send them feedback about how to improve.
What techniques and drills do you recommend for improving aiming skills, crosshair placement, and movement in Valorant? Do you also provide personalized warm-up routines for players?
I always recommend that players watch professional players’ streams and watch tournaments like VCT etc. Cause when you watch those things, you will see how players put their crosshairs for certain positions for certain maps and you can steal that, improve and use it in-game, other things that should be done is use practice range in-game, you don’t need fancy apps or things to improve your aim, cause that things are not same as in a game. Cause when you use another client the recoils for guns use the velocity of the character and are much more different compared to an actual game.
About improving aim, movement, and crosshair you have just to play a lot and watch Twitch streams and pro players, pls do not watch YouTube( cause a lot of YouTube videos are made for content it doesn’t help you a lot, and the things they teach either half correct, half wrong either full wrong, try to watch videos maybe from professional players if still want to watch it). And yes I’ll give personalized warm-up routines.
How do you teach players to communicate effectively with their team? What tips do you have for when to be aggressive, give callouts, and share information with teammates?
Communication is one bad problem in Valorant, cause the lower your rank gets much more less communication experience you get most of the time but “you should be giving Information all the time”
The information is key to victory even if your teammates not giving, cause sometimes like in life, you need to take ropes in your hand yourself and control the team, cause most people don’t know what they’re doing in-game you have to be the leader. Always give suggestions for ideas, fewer ideas in-team means less chance of winning in-game. Being aggressive in-game depends on your agent, position, peeking advantage, utility, enemy’s utility, enemy’s position and can your teammates trade you while you fighting you have to consider all of those things before playing aggressively.
How do you coach players on map control strategies in Valorant? What tactics do you recommend for different maps, and how can players use map control to their advantage?
Map Control is really important in-game as well cause, for example, enemy peeks into position, they get map control and get information about no one there, then here’s the important part, the person who’s playing with the site can now rotate the other site, that you are pushing with your teammates, that leads with more resistance in site with more people and you will lose more rounds, more games that why map control is really important to learn, I teach people about map control and how they can punish aggressive plays enemy make.
If you want to learn the maps look for these three things: 1-is it defense or attack-sided,2-is it a small or big map for aim fights, and which guns are better,3-how many entrances and which spots are important to take the map control.
What techniques do you use to help players improve their game sense, rotations, and decision-making skills? How do you assist players in understanding macro/micro decision-making?
Game sense is the thing you can’t learn by just watching videos, you have to play different types of games to understand it. For example: If you play Csgo you will learn the mechanical game better compared to Valorant cause Csgo has 4x times harder mechanical gameplay compared to Valorant.
Let’s say: If you play Elden Ring for example, you will learn how to be patient cause Elden Ring takes a lot of time to play and learn, that will lead you to understand how to be patient in any game, technically when you learn different things from different games and you implement those things in-game you will have better decision making, game sense, utility usage and much more. That’s also why I have a lot of game sense in the game compared to other players.
But you can learn about decision-making instead of game sense, you have to just ask yourself in a game like this when you gonna make decisions: is it a good position to peek? if I peek what’s my chance of killing the enemy?, what’s the rate of success getting multiple kills?, what’s the rate of me losing the fight?, do I have a utility peek with it or should I wide peek it? Does the enemy has utility peek me? is the timing right to peek? How can I counter their utility, Those are the things u have to consider when u making decisions in-game there’s a lot more in-game still.
How do you help players choose the right agent for their playstyle? What factors do you consider when recommending agents, and how do you coach players on agent mechanics and usage?
The only thing that separates the amateur from professional players is having much more experience and maybe a mentality of always improving and learning new stuff that’s it. By the mean of experience I mean utility, Aiming, movement it’s all past things they learned after all every professional player was amateur at some point the only thing is changed is experience.
How do you keep players up-to-date with the latest patches and meta shifts in Valorant? How do you help them adapt their strategies and agent choices to the changing game environment?
New patches mean nothing that much, it’s all about the players themselves rather than complaining about meta or patches, I believe “off-meta is always better than meta” like agents wise, Yoru is 10x better than Jett, people just don’t know how to play correctly that’s why and yoru agent itself is much harder.
Off-meta play style is always gonna beat meta plays cause of the unpredictable play style. I also give them my own special agent’s compendiums to my clients so they can have better ideas about agents.
n your opinion, what separates amateur players from professional Valorant players? What skills, habits, or mindset differences do you see between these two groups?
Definitely dedication. Any person can become semi professional, it’s all about how much work you put into it. Hard work really pays off from my experience, I have coached few average players that later became semi professional.
How do you track and measure the progress of players you coach in Valorant? What benchmarks do you use, and how do you communicate progress to your clients?
I measure players’ progress with how they play in-game, the way they play the game shows you everything you need to know about them and I’ll also use the tracker.gg statistic app to have bit more advanced measures for their headshot rates etc .
How do you create personalized training plans for Valorant players? Do you include specific beginner settings and warm up routines? What factors do you consider, and how do you incorporate elements like aim drills, scenario training, and improvement plans into these plans?
First of all, I give them basic training that is given to everyone, then I’ll give personalized training by their measured progress in-game live most of the time and recommend them few other things.
Can you share any success stories from your Valorant coaching career? What achievements have your clients reached after working with you, and how have you helped them reach their goals?
Everyone who came to me ended up happy, there was a guy deranked from Plat 2 to Gold 3 in one day after, we did our coaching he was back to Plat 2 and reached out to Diamond in 2 weeks.
What is your top advice for players who are new to Valorant? What should they focus on as they begin their journey in the game, and what common mistakes should they avoid?
Everyone who came to me ended up happy, there was a guy deranked from Plat 2 to Gold 3 in one day after, we did our coaching he was back to Plat 2 and reached out to Diamond in 2 weeks.
What basic level of skill or experience do you recommend a player have before seeking professional coaching in Valorant? What should players focus on improving before seeking coaching?
If you don’t know how to improve and you get kinda bit hardstuck about how learn new things or about in-game, then afterwards you should get coaching, don’t try to give up that easily.
What tools or software do you use to facilitate your Valorant coaching sessions? Do you use tools for recording sessions, analyzing gameplay, or providing real-time feedback?
I use tools like Discord for the streaming session, tracker.gg for getting information on in-game stats of clients, twitch tournament streams that’s it, and my own special agent’s compendium.
Do you offer Valorant coaching sessions through Discord, and if so, how does it work? How do you utilize the platform to communicate with players, provide feedback, and share resources?
