Sankala offered a different form of training that I could practice in the shooting range: short sprays from close range on easy mode, short bursts from close range on medium mode, and shoot, strafe, shoot from long range on easy mode.
On a related note, Sankala also noticed a major flaw that would often be my demise if I missed the first headshot: crouching.
“Crouching is a tool that can be useful in certain situations,” Sankala said. “But it’s a bad habit that a lot of people new to the game, or even that have played the game for quite a while, implement… every time.” 토토사이트
When peeking from behind a wall, for example, I had the tendency of swinging, shooting, and then crouching in quick succession. Best-case scenario, I can snag a kill and get traded off by an enemy. In most cases, however, I put myself in a vulnerable position that’s difficult to recover from. It’s far more effective to jiggle peek, potentially get a pick, and then use abilities for a quick getaway.
There are, of course, some situations where crouching can be useful, according to Sankala. In the event that you’re holding a tight corner and waiting for an unsuspecting enemy to swing, crouching can save your life.
“This is already a bit of a do-or-die situation,” Sankala said. “People would crouch because you expect the enemy to come in and pre-aim your head. So the idea is that you crouch when you fire your first shot, because you want them to fire above you so you get an edge.”
Overall, Sankala offered a thorough learning experience that pinpointed my flaws while working around my existing strengths. Pair that with the competitive knowledge he offered and a clear training regiment, and I immediately felt an understanding of what I need to do to improve my mechanics.
While it may be too early to tell how this session will affect my gameplay moving forward, I got a first-place finish in the second Deathmatch I played following our session. And I’ve felt more confident hopping into Competitive matches, especially after 15 minutes in the shooting range.
