- Didn't think it was possible, but had to make a video to celebrate this massive W occasion.
Stay tuned in 5 years for road to plat ...
Thanks for watching! Experimenting with a different style of video.

teammates: flame the hell out of you, while whole team is dead
you: Ace
teammates: silence, not even 1 gg
To be fair, she COULD have gone around the wall and I am amazed she did not see that somehow. The flaming is always completely shitty and those guys suck.
@@matureusername6434 well we cant read her mind. But in general of someone is alone you dont shout advise at her.
All you do is as a observer is giving useful positional information and shutting up so the player can focus.
My impression of that wall was that the enemy knows exactly how you would walk around it and would expect that.
@@matureusername6434 i recall this stream, i believe it was her first time encountering the wall, additionally she has talked about how teamates telling her what to do makes her play worse and get overwhelmed.
@@wolfVFVgood point her going the long way is probably why all the enemy was caught looking the wrong way
When i noticed that she got an ace WHILE his team flamed her I legit started screaming. People have the fucking gault to flame even while getting their fucking heavgy asses carried X'D
As a non-gamer, it's actually pretty nice to see someone else struggle and have the same inconsistency as me. But you did it Lily! You deserve it :)
just get good lul
@@TDM14TWD Well, I am trying!
@TDM14TWD i would be amused if you were older than 13
@@TDM14TWD , because of your inspirational words, I have reached Radiant #1. Thank you! /s
@@vaishnavisingh9244don’t worry bro, this game was my 1st ever tactical fps game on pc and when I tried it, let’s just say i was lucky to be bronze 1, 6 months later im gold 1 still climbing the ranks! Believe it or not there is a lot of difference between regions for example US golds are very different from Bahrain golds and that because I’ve played in both. So it was harder cuz Bahrain iron usually had more smurfs than normal. But still grinding!
"I never played an FPS before but how hard could it be?"
*Proceeds to violate the mic*
Well, that was me for a long time
It's nuts that with just these few clips, you can see how much better she got. More confident to take fights, her aim is often on the head, the small flicks, decision-making, not panicking so easily, etc. It's not just that she climbed to gold, but that she improved to get there. Honestly, so much respect.
i mean she kinda kept making the same basic mistakes
@@aerialz7175I mean its gold not diamond or Ascendant. Of course she makes mistakes almost every rank does but she's still improving
@@CantHandleThis6Lol, anything below ascendant makes the same mistake. The only difference I see is they shoot better and walk better. Like positioning is shit, comms is shit, teamwork is shit, and mentality is shit.
@@haroldolegario6697 That implies that you only need aim to get Ascendant. Which is false, Ascendant players are better than you give them credit for. They're just a few small or one big fix from immortal
@@CantHandleThis6 You can get immortal with good aim and movement. Decision making u be act like gold and as long as u hit ur shots you’ll be fine
The stuggle lily went through, from toxic teammates to trying to perfect her aim... A true valorant experience right there. 😂
Bro, i swear to god, it's so hard to learn fps games when everyone already seems ahead having years and years of practice. Amazing job Lily, honestly
At least is not at bad as trying to get into fighting games, the hardest genre to get into from zero, by a very large margin
@@HallidayASR i can definetely see that, i just think that more people are exposed to fighting games than fps games. Obviously not enough to be good but a kid would have played at least a couple of fighting game's back in my childhood
dont be discouraged from trying though. if you have some higher rated friends that can help you improve, you'll climb really fast (don't just get boosted, get real tips and ask what you're doing wrong). valorant was my first game on KBM coming from cod/console gaming. i was iron for a short period, bronze-gold for a while, flew through plat and diamond, and have been stuck in ascendant for the last few acts. grinding to immortal this new act.
best ways to improve are from watching vods from pros that play the agent/role that you play and copying their playstyle/habits on each map, watching videos from youtube coaches like konpeki, woohoojin, teets, and videos from the plethora of agent specific immortal content creators. there are plenty of amazing map analysists and agent guides out there. there's no rank criteria to using lineups and high level setups, but make sure you get your mechanics down. i personally like woohoojin videos the best as he has a playlist for each agent on whatever map you want and can find one where he's reviewing someone at your similar rank. he also has some mechanics-specific videos that will help a lot as well.
the number 1 thing is consistent practice, if youre playing almost everyday, warming up in the range, and practicing crosshair placement in deathmatch, you WILL improve. aimlabs will speed things up as long as youre practicing the right way and not burning yourself out. just some tips if you feel like you don't know where to start to get better.
@@HallidayASRI played tekken but the rocket league is by far the hardets game to get into
@oldiegoldie396 I think its the other way around fps games are extremely popular and easy to play. Fighting games on the other hand has a very steep learning curve and most quit after 1 or 2 matches.
This is the most refreshing valorant content I've ever seen, out of all the e-dating, frag montage, forced comedy content, Lily's climb to Gold (statistically the "Average placement" in Rank Distribution) was an amazing watch.
YOU CAN GO EVEN FURTHER, LILY. TRUST
Lily has patience of saint for climbing this hill and not immediately muting those guys
Shouts to woohoojin for being a goated coach! The beeping stream was hilarious
Yes, crop to him. He did his best to coach her 👏👏. Best coach ever.
too bad he lied abt being ascendant :c
@@xkryoxityx doesn’t matter she got her to gold
I was here when that happened! Was really proud of what Lily achieved by herself. We all know that solo lobbies are the worst in Valorant especially in rank games but Lily proved to us that if we put the work and effort to all of the things that we do we can definitely shine and boast it to everyone. It was long but a very memorable memory for her and for us your fans. Immortal next? 👀
What have you achieved?
By herself? What about her coach? She did great but he also helped her out 😢
@@MatheusSilvaSSS bro even with her coach it still took her 3 years, thats some serious work she had to put in.
@@FMJ1400 obviously you didn't watch the video. it took her 7 weeks from her placement. just 3 years after the game released.
I climbed from Iron 3 to Diamond 2 mainly solo q in 2 years, and can confirm its arguably worse than the death sentence.
"While i was gone, my friends got a lot better" shows tarik, a major winner, getting radiant
Congrats Lily! You're making all of us stuck in bronze proud
Imagine beeing in bronze and telling people to stop playing valorant
soloq classic across every game
The idea of playing ranked with strangers is always enticing to me. You team up with 4 other whoevers, either win or lose together, then go off on your separate ways never seeing one another again. It's like something out of an action movie
Wow
besides the fact that they all fucking suck bc solo queue is like a filter for the worst part of humanity
Yeah but the difference with movies is they have actors who fit a certain role, rando racist ricky is not someone who I would see in a movie
bro thinks too much
it’s nice until u have to deal with the reality of ranked 😂
11:41 EXACTLY!!! I was saying "Now tell them to 'shut the f up'" after you aced, and you did LMAOOOOOOOO. Great job on climbing to Gold, Lily! You improved a lot
You did it Lily, so proud of you, came so far in 3 years let's gooooo
i reached gold in like 100 hrs of comp even tho valorant was my first fps game so idk if she came that far..
you think she played 100 hours in total within 3 years? nope. and also, if you stop playing for a while, you would need several hours to adjust again@@vurinz
@@vurinz Thats why I said she came far lol not anyone else, everyone has their own pace
@@vurinzwow congrats ur so special 🙃
@@liachee lol im not even flexing im just trying to explain that you just need to put effort in to reach it in a quick time
watching lilys road to gold this year was awesome im glad i was here for it she worked so hard and did it by herself SO PROUD OF U LILY!!
the editing, the voice-over , the clips, A+, one of the best valorant video i have ever watched, and i have watched thousands
Thank you for showing the truly messy process it is to climb.
I see far too often people posting their improvement vlogs where they're like
Day 1: Bronze 1
Day 3: Gold 1
Day 5: Diamond 1
Day 6: Immortal 3
Day 7: Radiant #4
ikr bruh I saw this video that was like "omg this aim routine got me from bronze to immortal in a month" and I'm like dude, I've been doing basically the same routine for 3 years now and I went from iron to plat, this mf placed bronze 3 after trolling all his placements and got to diamond within 1.5 weeks, almost like the 5,000+ hours of CSGO he had helped him.
dude throughout the video I could see the improvement, you're reaction time and adjustment to scenario in particular shot WAY up. Absolute W's all around.
As someone who has also been wading throught the bronze-silver swamp for what feels like an eternity, this video has been very entertaining. Keep it up, Lily! ❤
I’ve been playing for 2 years and I’m still struggling to rank up. Yesterday I was 1 game away from reaching plat but I lost 3 games in a row and it really broke my spirit. Then now this video got recommended to me and it reaaallly inspired me. It made me realize that it’s completely normal to consecutively lose your games and get queued up with weird teammates. All part of the Valorant experience. Thanks for this great content! ^0^
As someone who’s in B1, this gives me hope 😭😭 thanks for the motivation, Lily!
As someone who struggles to stay in bronze & have friends who continue to rank up and up, I find this so inspiring lol congrats Lily!
WOOO CONGRATS NOW LILY IS ONE OF THE PRO BOIS
11:50 The fact that her teammates were talking so badly to her astounds me then she got an ace and I was very proud hehe
10:50*
what were u proud of?
she could have gone around tho and she didnt so thats kinda dumb
@@hen618 If she gone around omen would have killed her with one shot, they both hold it as if they knew how the wall was set up. She made the right play and went the long route and payed off
@@KevinHuynh-p8f maybe
i love this story so much i honestly feel that you deserve gold alot of the 3 years youve been playing valo you kept being better and better and better im glad i got to watch your gold journey
CONGRATS LILY🎉, now for road to diamond
Scarra: Are u ok with playing Valo, Lily?
Lily: I'm ok with whatever (avatar shaking head)
Scarra: ok let's go play some Valo
Lily: Fxxk
Hilarious! I dig these friendship moments
lily's crippling depression comment from silver to bronze was such a mood TTOTT i've malded and lost my sanity jumping from bronze 2 to iron 3 and back up like 10+ times either bc of a bad team or i just play too much that i get so tired and can't play well TTOTT its so hard props to lily to be able to handle the haters ect
waaa I'm so glad I got to watch it live. Worked so hard for it you really deserved it!
I forgot what it was like in bronze and silver. It's just a bunch of teenagers who "think" they have skill and then throw a tantrum whenever someone contradicts them.
salute to Lily for solo queueing and not giving up the grind! seeing the journey is really encouraging
This was truly the journey for many of us to experience. I'm glad you got to pull through this avalanche of self doubt, demote games, and team negativity to achieve your goal. Next stop is PLAT 1! YOU GOT THIS GOD'S GIFT!!!
16:49 Honestly these new acts taking us from ballin’ to bawling our eyes out in misery. It’s ok low elo royalty is great sometimes 😂😂😂
Great vid, W mental, Made my morning
The mental fortitude Lily has to have to go all that way through solo q is astounding
The epic and comedic timing of Woohoojin's pre-recorded "Fight. Headshot. WHO'S NEXT?!" immediately after getting the kill was incredible. Hilarious and awesome all at once. Congrats on Gold Lily!
Glad I was able to witness your growth in Val Lily! All those times watching your stream at work and cheering you on! Here is to many more heashots and many more tears from deranking and ranking and then deranking again lol
Well deserved. I’ve been there for a lot of the journey and the never ending Valo streams. I remember a lot of these rounds. Congrats
Lol this was such a good video Lily.
Loved the memeness and the journey. I knew you could do it! So much of video game success when it comes to shooters, is confidence, even overconfidence is better. Doubt makes your reflexes slowed. That's why twitch shooters are full of ego maniacal psychopaths!
As someone who was in that exact same position as you(friends getting so much better while you were stuck in bronze etc.), and even falling lower to iron itself, I 100% relate and am happy you got to gold!! You definitely can go for even higher ranks!!
You got talent for your aim! This is just the beginning, you're going far ma'am!
lily is so strong and actually keep goin thou inconsistent but better than giving up totally. you did great lily!
I just like that Lily building up the confidence through her games🎉
"Miss you but also val?" Thanks Michael, I'm using that line one day for sure
LILY IM SO PROUD OF YOU
"i'll drop kick you"
michale in the background, probably readying his death ray
Omg congrats Lilly ur half way there 🎉
i swear to god i started from the same starting point as you, no experience in fps game before, now i'm hitting gold two, by seeing this clip i'm so proud of both you and myself!
So happy for Lily. She's the reason/motivation for me to climb to gold.
So proud of you Lily!! You're so inspiring!!! You make me wanna try my hardest also and just ignore the haters, you deserve gold and so much more!!
Hey Lilypichu, I wanted to take a moment to share something . I've been going through a tough time, dealing with depression, and I just wanted you to know that your videos have been helping me a lot. Thanks for being awesome!
Big proud of lily for overcoming challenges :)
I did not deserve to witness such a masterpiece of a video 😍
lily is spot on with the valorant analogy (the box of chocolates)
btw lily non-stop saying no to the rude reyna was hilarious, he sounded so insecure lwk
NICE LILLY YOU DESERVE IT
honestly lily, this is like hitting radiant for a person like you, holy shit the rage i felt watching this video
time to be hardstuck gold (gl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
funny that NA servers have these type of players in Bronze and Silver tiers. in the APAC, fucking silver IS THE RADIANT. 4/5 games you will get a teammate/enemy that headshots you instanly, reads you like a book, 360 no scope your a*s and shit. but again, in NA? this is peaceful for me, the trashtalking, the "kYs" remarks and all that, that's mild talk to me now.
most deserved achievement ever she worked so hard
Congratulations Lily!!! I'm so excited for you! Also this is just a perfect example of persevering. When you enjoy something and want to get better you just have to keep practicing and put in the effort! Can't wait to see you climb even higher!!! SLAYYYYY!
guys she did it
the clip of them trash talking u and u get a low hp ace??? peak!!!! u cooked !!!!!
Proud of you LilyPichu ❤ for all these years of effort
Bro this whole video is such a mood. Even the next act getting put in bronze after reaching gold... just devastating. But well done Lily! I'm pround of you!
Who else loves lily
Probably micheal
yeah she's pretty cool
@@milkkee540im cryin😂😂
Who doesnt
🤚
Congratulations Lily! I wasn’t there for the full struggle but it was fun to watch your dedication to just keep pushing
nice job you finally did it! hopefully you can join me and the boys in plat/dia soon
this is the reason why i love @LilyPichu so much. i feel like nowadays people don't really care about hard work and dedication. me as a valorant content creator who sucks at the game at first but with patience and positive mindset actually we can improve in many things. now I'm gold 2 in just 3 months. so what I'm trying to say is that, people only care about highranks but why not care about the person effort of climbing and learning the game. i realised that when I'm just gold 3 people skip my video and tell me I'm sucks. so lily just keep enjoying what you doing and keep improving with valorant and I hope you can reach the rank you wanted. remember rank is just a rank but what truly makes you a person is you !!!
I dont like Valorant and was going to skip this vid but because its Lily I caved and was pleasantly surprised. Really well made vid and congrats on the improvement
9:30 the fact that she got a 4k from just hearing "fight. headshot. fight. headshot. PUSH. DON'T RUN AWAY. fight. headshot." is so funny to me but it also makes sense in a weird way. Go, Lily, go!! Radiant in no time.
I've seen ao many valorant videos but never seen something such wholesome
11:34 it’s a shame that they didn’t go against their previous comments and congratulated you on your ace.
THATS WHAT I’M SAYING - solo clutch ace and they dont say anything. Actual cowards.
I understand where her teammates frustration are coming from though, the deadlock wall had a huge gap where lily could go through but instead, she wasted her ult and rotated which wasnt needed but she won so yeah it doesnt really matter
@@xPhilosophyy I'd say it once like, "there's space on the right you can pass" and then drop it, let them play their life
it's so inspiring to see your growth lily! congrats on gold
Congrats to you and Poki! 👩❤💋👩🕵 Michael Reeves knows what he did wrong!!!!!
seeing your progress in a video like this in such a short period of time is crazy to see the difference in your skill level from when you started
the community is why I don't play valo
cry b it
ok
Womp womp
You either have silent teammates, buttholes, or THE HOMIES
This is relatable. I would always tell my friends I'm speedrunning to iron whenever I derank.
I was already listening to that Haikyuu!! OST (first one) while watching the video and then it kicked off in the video too and I was like "yo wtf" and then 2 seconds after I realized and I got all hyped up lmfao PROPS TO THE EDITOR NICE TASTE MY MAN HAIKYUU!!'s OST ARE THE BEST THEY JUST MAKE EVERYTHING INSTANTLY BETTER
the haikyuu ost in the background just makes this so much more chefs kiss
Lily don’t worry you will get better, i started as iron 2 and now I’m almost diamond it feels so good to improve and become better at something, you can do it! I believe in uuu
I'm proud of you that it didn't actually even take 3 years, it basically was just about 9 weeks to go from bronze 2 to gold 1. Took me about 3 weeks to go from Iron 3 to Bronze 1, and about 48 more weeks to get to silver consistently playing about 3 matches a day. I have now been silver for 3 weeks and I'm probably going to be stuck in silver for a year or two.
you did it! be very proud of yourself you really stuck to it and did great! i was the same and started on the game late so all my friends were a lot higher than me and i placed iron 2 in the beginning but i kept going and now i think i'm ranked higher than the rest of my friends lol
Hooj's perfectly timed "WHOS NEXT" is gold
This was a really good video. the sheer mental fortitude it takes just to be able to handle solo queue in low rank valo is already impressive, but being able to keep climbing up despite that is crazy
The plummet from silver to bronze 1 was the most relatable part...
It also took me almost 3 years to hit Gold and now I'm on the grind for Plat. Crawling out of bronze was the hardest part, once you hit gold the game does get slightly easier I think.
I'm not that interested in ranking up, I just want to improve myself, and this is honestly really encouraging to watch. Lily improved so much!
how is this video so relatable, i wanna cry this video is triggering my trauma.
This video was entertaining, I feel the pain of trying to hit goals lmao.
my friends are also immortal etc, I hope to one day play with them hahaah
good luck on your journey lily
Being able to say that you got an ace as your team was flaming you is kind of a flex, because it means that even though they didn't believe in you, you were still able to pull it off
Congrats Lily you worked so hard to get to where you are now can’t wait To see your journey to platinum this act 😮💨👏
It took 3 years for her to come full circle 💀
The pray and spray at the start omg....im crying.
I love the haikyuu music usage! first time I've watched a video of yours but you got a sub :)
Even if you didn't get the rank you wanted, you are still improving. I actually like this ending because it shows even me i can't give up. Even on a game like val where you want to give up every loss😭,
This came up on my feed and it’s nice to see someone else with the same struggle. And unfortunately this game’s community hasn’t changed from this. People in Bronze thinking they belong in Ascendant+ and blame everyone but their own gameplay
seeing lily’s crying avatar while she says “yay im silver 2” lmao same
I know that feeling. I was hardstuck silver for an entire year thanks to college. It felt like a breath of fresh air when I got out of it. Now I'm hardstuck Plat.
