Part 2
Day 4 of Playing w/ Gaming Mastery X
FROM NOW ON OUT, I WILL USE A 7/7 RATING SYSTEM TO RATE HOW I PLAYED OVERALL, AIMED. HOW MUCH I WAS FOCUSED, MY AWARENESS SO ON & SO FORTH. So you guys can follow along easier.
7/7 = E-Sports Ready
6/7 = Top 10 Player in ANY Region
5/7 = Top 500 Player In ANY Region
4/7 = VERY High Skill Bracket, PRISTINE Player
3/7 = Far Above Average/Distinguished Player
2.5/7= Played Nicely, contributed heavily to the team.
2/7 = Played good enough to not be a burden on the rest of my teammates.
1/7 = Played horrendously.
0/7 = Autopilot. Kept dying over and over.
Also note that these ratings are not entirely based off the current rank I am in. For example, even if I do VERY good in my mid diamond rank, I will STILL give myself a relatively low score because I am scoring my self in comparision to the highest ranked players in the game. It’s 50/50. 50% of it is determined by comparing my self to the other people in MY CURRENT RANK and the other 50% is a comparision to the best players in the world.
Listened to GMX for 9 hours whilst sleeping. Then listened to it another 9 hours whilst playing OverWatch. (18 hours total of listening)
*5 Minutes of Warmup in 3V3; did pretty okay overall 3.5/7 for warmup considering my hands are literally cold and all. I found that I was clinging to my old self via being scared that I wouldn’t hit my shots and just waste my time playing… I was wrong. Now I have SOME aim 2/7 and focus 4/7. *
Game 1: Did okay 2.5/7 overall. My focus was 3.5/7. Awareness 2/7. Starting to notice the wall thats hindering my ability to be in the zone (focus) melt away, maybe… we shall see my friends.
Game 2: Overall: 2/7 | Focus: 3/7| Awareness: 2.5/7 | Aim: 2/7 [ Please Note: My aim pre-subliminal was 1/7 ]
Game 3: Overall: 2/7 | Focus: 3/7| Awareness: 2.5/7 | Aim: 2/7 [ Please Note: My focus pre-subliminal was 1/7 ]
I have come to realize that I was a weak and shit player, and to compensate for these weaknesses I would engage in ego gratification. Coming up with a plhetora of excuses as to why I did bad, or couldn’t aim… NO MORE! I died because I was T R A S H, I killed him because I was B E T T E R. Simple. No luck, no this no that, 100%
I am going to be very hard on my self, and that will reflect the ratings. No bullshit pseudo ratings.
Game 4: Overall: 1/7 | Focus: 1.5/7| Awareness: 1/7 | Aim: 1/7 - Just like before, my first 2-3 hours of gameplay is smooth then that “wall” comes and tries to prevent me from focusing properly. As if its an IQ Lock of some sort…
Game 5: Overall: 2/7 | Focus: 2/7| Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2/7 - That “wall”/IQ Lock is still there but this time I did better through sheer fucking will.
Game 6: Overall: 1.5/7 | Focus: 1.5/7| Awareness: 1.5/7 | Aim: 1.5/7-----“Wall” decreased in intensity but still there
Game 7: Overall: 1.5/7 | Focus: 1.5/7| Awareness: 1.5/7 | Aim: 1.5/7-----Mental “Wall” Sabotaging me
Game 8: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 1.5/7| Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2/7-----My is Gameplay more streamlined and smooooth. Instead of tilting like I usually do after dying, I try to assess WHY I died.
Game 9: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 2/7| Awareness: 2.5/7 | Aim: 2.5/7----My Gameplay is VERY streamlined. Also, I figured out something NEW that has been occuring!
NEW: Remember when I said that I had slow reactions? Well I still have slow reactions… HOWEVER, My assessment of the situation is VERY fast. I see what is happening in the moment… and decide I must do such… but I LAG to do… I choose a course of action then take too long to execute it… It’s like my brain is too fast for my body.
Game 10: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 2/7| Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2.5/7
Game 11: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 2.5/7| Awareness: 1.5/7 | Aim: 2/7
Hour Break
Reminder: I try my best to put a number that represents my performance as accurately as possible.
Game 12: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 3/7| Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2.5/7
Game 13: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 3/7 | Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2.5/7
Game 14: Overall: 1/5 - Got rolled, enemy Hanzo was too Tough + Teammates Abandoned Match Loss And from here on out, I will document wheter or not I lost the game in question
Game 15: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 3/7 | Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2.5/7 Loss
Game 16: Couldn’t do much, team was absolute Garbage | Overall: 2.5/7, Aim: 2.5/7 Loss
Game 17: Overall: 2/7 | Focus: 3/7 | Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2.5/7 WIN - Game I enjoyed very much. I would put aim as 3/7 but I’m up against mere average players like my self so I feel like 3/7 wouldn’t be an accurate representation of aim. Because higher ranked players movement is purposely erratic & unpredicatable (strafing) and fast paced.
Game 18: Overall: 2/7 | Focus: 3/7 | Awareness: 2/7 | Aim: 2.5/7 WIN
Game 19: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 3/7 | Awareness: 1.5/7 | Aim: 2.5/7 - WIN Awareness 1.5 because I kept forgetting that their team had RoadHog. Which is a tank that can 1 shot you if you’re a normal 200HP hero
From now on I’m only listening to ‘GMX’. Going to give up ‘Limit Destroyer’.
Game 20: Overall: 2.5/7 | Focus: 3/7 | Awareness: 1.5/7 | Aim: 2.5/7
Game 21: Overall: 2/7 | Focus: 2/7 | Awareness: 1/7 | Aim: 1/7 (Got sleepy in this game, so aim/awareness dropped)
Afterthoughts
Can most definitely see slight positive changes in aim and focus… But I’m just hoping that the sub will take root in my mind so that whenever I hop into a game, I take the enemy team by storm… no more competitive anxiety, no more dumb “what if I lose this competitive match, I should play an hour later”… just click on heads… and of course for the sub to take my aim to superhuman levels.
And make it so that I will be able to learn ANY new champion/hero near instantly… - @SaintSovereign @Hermit Is this too far fetched?
Hopefully it gets an upgrade soon. To Quantum Tech.
