Can’t win fights?
X Rank -> write notes between games

Struggle with coordination?
Scrim -> discuss with team

Stomping most competition but faltering against better opponents?
Open Level Tournament -> VOD review

Bad at REVIEW!?
Seek Coaching -> implement in PRACTICE

Complain about your avenues to get good practice if those methods don’t serve you, but unless your skill is super ultra-far beyond where your results or merit is, there is definitely a good place for you to practice

Quickly adding my thoughts to the practice discussion:

Practice puts your improvements in CONTEXT and exposes WEAKNESS

Review seeks to understand CONTEXT and provide SOLUTIONS. This can be vod review or just post-game reflection.

The former is the means to the latter, analysis is EVERYTHING

I'd love to play some time! just unfortunate that weekday open level tourneys have such terrible timing with work and such 😭😭

Okay here we go! I want to challenge myself & grow more with the community. So homies hit me up if you want! Let's learn & have fun together! 🔥 💯 #compsplatoon

FOR REAL 10/10

I thought more about calculus for this post than I have since graduating from my engineering degree and working lmaoo I do love the clever ways to solve it though (which I def did not think of at first haha)

this is genuinely a better way to describe my role vs just anchor/backline

also I really got to work on my shot calling!

The NEW Way to Name Splatoon Roles..?

INKWAVE has REDEFINED the way Splatoon players sort their Roles

Theyve made a system called Range x Role, which covers BOTH the Weapon's strengths and the player's playstyle

I cover it in this 🧵below!

this game has so many beautiful settings and music. greenpath, I love you. city of tears? I just want to sit there aaalll day listening to the music.

part of me wants to go for 112% but Im also so antsy to play silksong hmm

I finally finished my first playthrough of Hollow Knight. I can't believe I waited so long to play the game.

I got to 102% by the time I finished my first ending and accidentally permanently skipped one of the endings it seems?? lol oops

this post is mostly a reminder for me but your mental and physical health play a hugeeeee role into how you preform in compspl its not even funny. so remember to take care of urself before u scrim or anythingggg

I ran out of my ADHD medication a few days ago and it makes me wonder how I ever functioned without them. my brain is so so fuzzy 😭 I sometimes accidentally skip a day but 3+ days without them isnt fun.

it's also weird just how hungry I am. didn't realize how much they reduce my appetite

Now live: discord.gg/FVjEenQpsU

we'll see how this works out, and it's also open to people around mid-level who want to help, as we have a role for you :)

#compsplatoon

would any low-level teams be interested in a program where you'd scrim a mid-level team and receive coaching after the session?

I especially want to hear from those around D7 or D8, as I think facing anything further down the comp ladder would fall off in terms of effectiveness

#compsplatoon

this is such a cool idea, yes!! it can be intimidating to try to ask for higher level scrims since I don't want to waste the other teams time 😅

my partner showed me his legends za character's outfit without previously seeing mine and tell me why we both have the puffer vest/sweater, cargo pants, and beanie combo 😭

hahaha YES it will be

you're the best!! thank you for all the work you do!!

ooo noted thank you so much!! yeah for vitamin D, I can get pills for 2500 ius but it might make it easier to get a higher dosage than taking 3 pills lol I'll ask my doctor!

and honestly for the light, I think my work covers it if I use it at my desk... so I might see if I can get it for free!

wishing you luck with everything!! being a team captain can be really hard. as for the tryouts, I've always interpreted as people getting mad = not fit for the team.

if you ever want to play comp again, I'd love to play with you even tho we main the same thing. I'd figure it out LOL

I was gonna add proper nutrition to this list but honestly just eating enough even if it's not 100% good for me is a bigger priority to me when I struggle to cook at all. why is eating such a CHORE

If you don't know the effective dose of vitamin d is A LOT higher (like orders of magnitude) than the vast majority of supplements, so I would ask ur doc abt a script
Also if you have the money to drop on a SAD lamp I got one on sale when I had money last year and it has really been helping

ooo I'll ask my doctor when I see him next!! I've truly been guesstimating how much vitamin D to take oopsie

I've heard a lot about the SAD lamps! it gets so so dark here in the winter so I'll def consider one

on a mission to NOT have seasonal depression this fall/winter:

-take more vitamin D
-go on walks when there's sunlight (on top of my regular walks with the dog)
-designate more time to my non video game hobbies
- stop thinking the day is over when the sun sets!!
