Great video man. You really helped put into perspective how much time and effort is put to become a talented player, and you showcase the same thing as a content creator. There is no substitution to hard work, and just you wait, ill join you. Proud of you man.
Those 2 seasons where he played 3k plus games is where he completely transformed, went from a casual/everyday player like us to grinding with purpose and it’s not like he got the mechanics out of nowhere as well he still wasn’t up there mechanically until he started getting top 100, shows that simply playing the game consistently and ranking up Is the quickest way to improve no matter what level, everything else will eventually fall into place
press X to doubt, current GC is basically the same as GC back then except for people being more mechanical. 2018 GC is still way more coordinated and players get more power on their hits than Diamond players. It's probably mid Champ as the other guy said, but with less than average aerial mechs for the rank. @@hypar2
i agree with the other people saying they want this to become a series, i would consistently watch every one of them. do "relevant" pros first like vatira or joyo or arsenal or retals, etc

Crazy how he improved backwards from 2019 to 2011 xP (6:50)
Great video though, much love ♥
I thought the same thing
Wait I forgot to add in the part about how he time traveled that season?
Ah makes so much more sense now!
I was thinking the same thing.
2011 totally, not 2021 or anything
As a baguette myself, we're so proud to have guys like Zen. Esport is going wild in France and that's amazing !

bro acting like he was supposed to play like a ssl at 11 💀
exactlyy
watching this gave me motivation to play and grind again and I went from c3 1306 to gc 1 1460 in less than one day
the goosebumps I experienced watching that edit at the end...
Wayton is just that good
soo at 4:25 we can see the maqueen thing which was released this year so idk man... if thats zen or not ...
There’s no lighting maqueen?

this is sarcasm right@@cytro
@@Hackツthat’s what the “/s” means
3:45 How is the second clip from 2018, there are Lightning McQueen bundle advertisements in the pitch, which was dropped in November 2023
Because when u replay something there is the ads from the time ur seeing replay not the time replay is playing

true but did you start gc

Ye but he’s made $$$$$ now and is the best, and he was just like an average GC so I wanted to see where that change occurred

Is Loane! His duo? We saw them in the first replay then way later when he’s 14, is this person a pro or?
Are u himr
Glazzing at it's peak
At 12:06 you can see it says that lightning McQueen is in the shop but it first came out on nov 7 2023
It’s because when u see a replay the ads in the current tiem ur watching not the time the replay
I just came across your channel again cbell i quit rl but i remember u wer at 5k subs and watched you congrats mam

then we are triplets, I am 20th feb. too. but way older then both of you
2:55 My ,,A“ Button turns about 30 degrees, which it shouldn’t. But it’s still working, it’s still kinda weird
6:51 2011? Huh 🤔

THATS MY BIRTHDAY

This guy played more games than I did in my whole time playing while he was 14 and in school in one season.
It’s insane a gc lobby looked liked that not insanely long ago you could never get away with that anymore.

I love how the own goals look like the exact same lol
11:57 he used a jump to get more height it wasnt a glitchy jump he did that intentionally

wait im curious, whats so bad about wavedash kickoff? or is the straight jump without angling thats the sad part?
