Why Smart Players Get Stuck in Platinum

Join my discord for 1-on-1 coaching - https://discord.gg/yXxxVK3JAE In this VALORANT coaching session, I review a Platinum Fade and Sova main who IGLs his Premier team. His calls, his economy and how often he checks tab are already well ahead of his rank, so we talk about what's really holding him back: his mechanics, and how leaning on his abilities instead of taking gunfights keeps him from getting better at them. We also cover the fastest thing you can change in your games today, which is team morale: staying positive after a lost round, saying my bad and moving on, and how your voice sounds when you make a call. 0:00 The Fastest Fix in Low Elo 1:01 Stay Positive After a Lost Round 1:46 Your IGL Voice Needs Energy 3:26 One Player Holding Two Wins the Round 5:14 Ult for Ult: A Puzzle for a Two-Year-Old 5:51 Say My Bad and Move On 7:01 Stop Looking for the Perfect Eye 7:30 When a Teammate Won't Listen 8:44 Don't Say "Wait for Me for the Retake" 9:27 Hesitating With Your Abilities 10:32 Tether Is OP 11:49 Dead Comms 12:18 The Ability Spiral 14:14 Stop Over-Calling, Take the Fight 15:55 Your Mechanics Are the Bottleneck Valorant Coaching website - https://www.goaching.gg/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/Officialbonkar Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/Officialbonkar —— Managed by: https://780zoo.com/ Produced by: https://justinlat.com/ #valorant
