Old NL: “I’m not playing to be good, I’m playing to beat children in a children’s video game” New NL: “I want to get better so here’s a aim training software” I’m pogging up for this new season eggman. I can’t wait to see you ascend
Having a lower sensitivity correlates with good aim more than you'd think. It's like writing holding the pen near the nib instead of holding it at the opposite end.
"Watch out, Shroud!" cracked me up. This should be a series "Road to beat Shroud in a 1v1 BO5", 10 minutes videos everyday till you become unstoppable. Make this timeline happen!
Man this video brought back memories when I'm just in the zone and hitting all my shots. The zen state of being one with your aim and movement is still one of the greatest feelings in gaming.
Please keep doing this and make a biweekly "progress video" similar to this but employ a routine and stick to that. Would be fantastic to see how much an egg can improve and at what pace!
Xirpzy generally, yeah. but if you’re moving it a certain distance and overshooting, it indicates that your brain actually thinks that the distance you moved the mouse should account for less movement on screen. therefore, in that situation you should lower your sensitivity. ideally, your flicks should land roughly where you expect them to, because your brain is used to how much mouse movement accounts for how much movement on screen.
lower your mouse sensitivity to AT MOST a 360 from one side to the other of the mousepad and you'll instantly get a hell of a lot better. ideally a 180 from one side to the other would be best, but it's hard to jump straight to that if you're not used to moving your arm
I'd generally agree for games like cs but 180 from side of the mouse pad(if its a big mouse pad) to the other in a game like warzone would probably limit him.
@@keithbrown2711 Yep, outliers are always present and for some it may work for others not. Playing on 180 sens in a dynamic game with 360 based gameplay requires you to be more aware of positioning which newer players or non-fps focused players may not have.
The mousepad limitations are real. The smaller the mousepad the higher sensitivity. But the higher the sensitivity the more risk for carpal tunnel. Oof
i just got a larger mousepad, it's definitely been hard to force myself to use more of it. i want to though, i've heard it's better for my wrist as well as better for aiming
Hey NL, i suggest you get 144Hz screen if you don't have one. You're wanting to get better at shooters, and LinusTechTips found that a faster refresh rate objectively helps even the pros be better at shooters, and the further you are from pro, the bigger the boost. I'm pretty sure Apollo has one (or at least he tweeted about his). Keep up the great videos, and stay safe! 😄 Edit: of course ignore the suggestion if you already have one, a quick Google search didn't suggest you'd mentioned one though. 😉
idk how much work goes into an individual video, but i think seeing a 15 minute video of this once a week could be entertaining. the commentary is good even if the watchability may not be super high. plus seeing you improve week over week would get people pogged
Thought on top of my head, just want you to know NL: i just realized that I started watching more of your videos since you changed the thumbnail template, I can really read what is what fast and I actually noticed that I really enjoy northernlion tries's!
I always enjoy watching your content whether you're learning a game or you're already good at it, but I will admit that I get a little extra pogged whenever I watch you win something.
Its interesting there actually is a feeling of having a worse overall performance while the score is higher. Its like you think your fails failed harder that time, probably because they did.
Sup Egg. You really do need to get your sens and FOV exactly the same as they're in game, or you're practicing the wrong sens, and you will actually do worse in game. Other than that, I really like seeing this change in attitude and a focus on learning and improving. I think it's great - keep it up. You don't need to do anything extraordinary to improve - you simply need to take the time to do things like this regularly and improvement will come over time. As far as sensitivities go - if you want to use mainly your wrist, 15-25cm/360 is generally where it's at, though you will need to use at least a little bit of arm past 20cm. If you want to use mainly your arm, 40-70cm/360 or even more is going to be good. Anything in between that range, and you're looking at using a mix of wrist and arm. Make sure that your arms are symmetrical on your desk so you don't torque your spine, that you're seated in such a way that you can get up at any moment's notice (i.e. you're rooted to the ground), and keep your back straight and shoulders pointed outwards. Elbows should be at around 90 degrees and wrists should be in line with the arm or bent downwards very slightly. Also don't push the base of your wrist into the mousepad as that will make doing arm movements harder and limit the range of motion in your wrist. However temporarily basing your wrist while doing very fine wrist aiming is fine. [Edit] Oh, and relaxation is key. If you tense up, you forfeit any fine control you might have had - so look very closely at what muscle groups you're tensing up while aiming, and figure out ways you can relax them. If you keep this up you'll be very good at shooters guaranteed.
I wanna see Apollo try this out. Also, how do you keep your sensitivity synced between this and your favorite FPS? I feel like they need to match to get anything out of this.
someone posted in the comments, but basically you see how much space on your mousepad corresponds to a 180 or a 360 in game, and adjust accordingly. specifically someone posted a website that figures it out for you
Step aside Apollo, NorthMillion is here. People say you have a high sens, which you do, but if you've played like that for a long time, it's probably not worth changing. That said, a common rule of thumb for sens is from the middle of the mouse pad to near the edge should be about 180°. The reasoning is you don't need to turn more than 180°, and you don't need to convert settings between games, you can just eyeball it and get used to it pretty quickly. I can't wait to see those double digit kill warzone games.
YES! Kovaaks next?? I can’t wait to see full power NL in warzone now. Tbh knowing that NL is actively aim training now is giving me more incentive to tune in to warzone to see the improvement
I'm only 7 minutes in, but this is really gratifying to watch for some reason. I think it's b/c the banter is still high while watching you hyper focus on a drill. I don't know why buy I'm entranced.
8:30 If you're trying to hold on to a moving target in a 1st person shooter game, for example using a machine gun at an enemy that's moving, I find it to be a lot easier to move the mouse from the elbow/shoulder instead of the wrist. But when I'm flicking, for example when using a semi automatic, I practically only use the wrist.
Reminds me of a browser-based aim trainer I used to play back in the day. I don't know how much it helped considering the mini-games were in a relatively small window, but it was fun!
Would definitely be down to watch warzone pregame warmups with this. Even if it’s 5 minutes or so. Just to know what sort of game I’m about to strap in for.
While alternating your movement right and left try to keep your aim at one point. Play with your sensitivity until you can do it comfortably. Also, you want to keep it high enough for an easy 180 because if you can do an easy 180 to either side you got your whole 360 covered brother!
Call me crazy, but based on the experience with Checkpoint League, if NL really wanted to get better at shooters and had the time to practice, I totally believe he would be capable of spamming these trainings and become a god
There is also Kovaak 2.0 at steam. is has som sort oft coaching, with increasing stages and very nice statistics witch side you miss the most etc etc... mybe woth a look too
Job is literally playing games and getting good could lead to some POG moments with bonus to viewership. Could be bonus to future of child! >> I don't think now is the time to be trying to get good at a video game.
I could tell in the first 2mins you're a wrist player. Try bumping your sensitivity up cuz wrist players need higher sensitivity. You could change your aim style if you want, but that takes a bit more time and training
Im gonna miss this stuff, when NL has his kiddo i imagine there will be less content and less video of kittens interrupting and more screams and crying and maybe the random naked child running around the room throwing his poop while NL just shakes his head.
Old NL: “I’m not playing to be good, I’m playing to beat children in a children’s video game”
New NL: “I want to get better so here’s a aim training software”
I’m pogging up for this new season eggman. I can’t wait to see you ascend
My man is desperate to do anything he can to secure those Warzone hard Ws
Gotta get another 1million tok
I've gotta share the load with my good friend Apollo
@@Northernlion share the load brother Kreygasm
@@Northernlion Okay Sammer. Finna eat poe tae toes as well Mr Samwise
Watchability is dubious, but the commentary is still top tier.
Having a lower sensitivity correlates with good aim more than you'd think. It's like writing holding the pen near the nib instead of holding it at the opposite end.
I need to see how Apollo or Justin does at this to really know how well he's doing.
My dudes gonna end up going hard on this like he did with the gym. He'll show up to a unity one week and just be a god
No joke if this was all you streamed today I would watch the entire stream.
"Watch out, Shroud!" cracked me up. This should be a series "Road to beat Shroud in a 1v1 BO5", 10 minutes videos everyday till you become unstoppable. Make this timeline happen!
this. "road to..." series would be amazing
more episodes than isaac
No joke 10 min episodes would be dope to see how he improved over time. Or just post the graphs on the reddit every week.
"59 that was worse" when there's a golden "New Highscore" on the screen. Never change NL.
NL playing airtrack: "that one is not for me"
me: "Isn't that the point if you wanna get better?"
Man this video brought back memories when I'm just in the zone and hitting all my shots. The zen state of being one with your aim and movement is still one of the greatest feelings in gaming.
Gets even better when the balancing is reset & you're playing exclusively against players worse than yourself
Please keep doing this and make a biweekly "progress video" similar to this but employ a routine and stick to that. Would be fantastic to see how much an egg can improve and at what pace!
NL, your mouse sensitivity is way too high, that's why your reticle goes all over the place.
Yeah when he said he uses the space of a note on his mouse pad I figured he must have his sensitivity all jacked up.
Excuse the millennial brains coming from controller where max sens was the norm.
There is no "too high". If its comfortable for him its good. I have seen some pros move the mouse within 5cm and reach the entire screen.
Xirpzy generally, yeah. but if you’re moving it a certain distance and overshooting, it indicates that your brain actually thinks that the distance you moved the mouse should account for less movement on screen. therefore, in that situation you should lower your sensitivity. ideally, your flicks should land roughly where you expect them to, because your brain is used to how much mouse movement accounts for how much movement on screen.
@@Xirpzy But you can clearly see from his peformance and shakiness while tracking that he's not using optimal sensitivity for him
First EVER NL work out video!??
He streamed Ring Fit Adventures, which was a high T experience
lower your mouse sensitivity to AT MOST a 360 from one side to the other of the mousepad and you'll instantly get a hell of a lot better. ideally a 180 from one side to the other would be best, but it's hard to jump straight to that if you're not used to moving your arm

this is also highly subjective.
I personally cant work it out how to move my arm and not only my wrist. I play on like 1600dpi and am perfectly fine

Pogged up to see the warzone performance after the aim-training!
Pogged up to see him come back to this after a Warzone session!
Watching him do tile frenzy: Wow he's not bad
watching him attempt the air tracking: Oh I see the problem now
Thought on top of my head, just want you to know NL: i just realized that I started watching more of your videos since you changed the thumbnail template, I can really read what is what fast and I actually noticed that I really enjoy northernlion tries's!
Thank you NL for making 2020 the year of the egg. My merch will be in soon, and I will continue to spread the good news.
I would enjoy the heck out of regular videos like this
I always enjoy watching your content whether you're learning a game or you're already good at it, but I will admit that I get a little extra pogged whenever I watch you win something.
I'm amazed how NL can keep talking while shooting, that's just impressive
59 < 50 apparently..hahah Now those Warzone noobs will never know what hit them !
No joke I would love a series of this to see your improvement.
Now you gotta change your handle to XxX69NoRth3RnSN1P3R420XxX.
this video will spawn a new generation of e-sports professionals, no doubt
Makes me happy when someone strives to be better, no matter what
* NEW HIGH SCORE *
NL: that was worse...
Its interesting there actually is a feeling of having a worse overall performance while the score is higher. Its like you think your fails failed harder that time, probably because they did.
This would be an AMAZING golden goblet game. If for no other reason, all of the non-Apollo members are Team Unity are the Golden Goblet.
Malf would shred them to bits
NL: it came out in May.
Me: Hmmm, May 2019 was a long time ago.
.... AHHHHH MAY 2020 ALREADY HAPPENED!
Would be interesting if you posted a 15 minute video of your routine once a week to see your improvement.
This should be a series. Us watching NL progress as an FPS gamer
As long as you don't become a pure competetive multiplayer shooter channel, I can accept it.
This really helps put into perspective how good Apollo is to be able to carry this team of bronzes to wins.
I find the sound design quite nice actually. That is a wonderful popping noise when you kill something. like a muted balloon
"Final score was Fifty Nine that was worse" I now understand how NL is confused what works and not, he just doesn't look at the results too often.
Sup Egg. You really do need to get your sens and FOV exactly the same as they're in game, or you're practicing the wrong sens, and you will actually do worse in game.

Watchability is 100%, brother. Loved it.
After watching this vid, I would love to see NL Tries new AAA sweaty competitive shooters
I wanna see Apollo try this out. Also, how do you keep your sensitivity synced between this and your favorite FPS? I feel like they need to match to get anything out of this.

There's a built-in converter for popular games
If it wasn't for your top tier banter, I would've ditched. Idk how you do it my man
Point and click mini games collection
Please do a series on this. Would be insane to see your progress over a month or so

This is the perfect Golden Goblet. Just trick the non-Apollo section of Team Unity into actually becoming FPS gods.
Enjoyed watching this, keep up the practice and my mans gonna be carrying unity
Damn ye Enelle for making me buy yet another thing. Marketing genius lads and lasses.

It isnt something you should be consciously choosing, it has to stay natural and practice with your natural comfort.
I haven’t watched a Northernlion video in a looooong time. I do not remember him having that thick of an accent 😂
Reminds me of a browser-based aim trainer I used to play back in the day. I don't know how much it helped considering the mini-games were in a relatively small window, but it was fun!

We have the tournament golden goblet arc, and now prepare yourself for the long awaited TRAINING AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARC.
Now that you're trained up I'm excited to see Valorant on NL Tries, put those pro flicks to the test.
This was incredibly and surprisingly entertaining, was Donut Defend based on a Team Fortress 2 map?
You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
3:08 I think the point is actually to go for targets that are closer together instead of throwing your focus and aim all over the place.
While alternating your movement right and left try to keep your aim at one point. Play with your sensitivity until you can do it comfortably. Also, you want to keep it high enough for an easy 180 because if you can do an easy 180 to either side you got your whole 360 covered brother!
I moved from console to PC and used kovaaks 2.0 to get gud, honestly, it does help, keep it up egg, its like the gym but for FPS games 💪
Lowering your sensitivity is better for aim while being better for wrist health, since you have to force movement to your shoulder over the wrist.
Call me crazy, but based on the experience with Checkpoint League, if NL really wanted to get better at shooters and had the time to practice, I totally believe he would be capable of spamming these trainings and become a god

Neat showcase of an unusual title. Thanks NL!
This is actually pretty cool
this as a golden goblet game would be AMAZING, please do
shooter mlg folx must love this thing
Listen to 1:45 with your eyes closed
OMG... the madman has actually done it.
Keep your grind STRONGG 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to improve or win. Send it!
You might want to consider changing your sensitivity, you're overshooting often so if you'd lower it slightly you may end up hitting more.
Dude, you need to do this for a month and make a review of it and your skills. Good background to hear you talk
Job is literally playing games and getting good could lead to some POG moments with bonus to viewership. Could be bonus to future of child!
>> I don't think now is the time to be trying to get good at a video game.
Daily practice give or take 15-20 minutes will help you in such a big way.
Good upload 👏👏👏
13:01 this is the kind of trigger flinch I see when teaching people to shoot real guns
The air track stage actually made me motion sick. That ball moving plus the camera going everywhere is a bad time.
Strafing is a huge part of tacking, check out dafran if you wanna see it to perfection :) no need to force mouse movement for no reason :)
tiktok get ready for the fattest warzone W's, and highest high-octane clips. my man NL ascending to unprecedented levels of pog mastery
Glitch is a map from Titanfall 2 just FYI Eggman
every time egg says "SENS" my inner 12 year old dies a little.
I’d love to see you try osu! If you want aim training and watchable content but I’d totally watch some aim beast to see the ascension in FPS
He's said on stream before that he'd never play osu
I’d love to see Team Unity compete at this
Running. His. Sets.
human benchmark golden goblet!
Finally we can see with calculations and data why his aim is so bad. Magnificent
I’m all for this training lol!
Alright but my man went from 59 to 95 in video
can somebody tell me if the meme of him aiming with right hand despite being a southpaw actually true?
Yeah it's true but most left handed people do
@@Cyndr_ Yeah. I am left handed and use a mouse with my right hand. I'm pretty sure like 95% of left handers use right hand for the mouse.
Apollo better watch out
I could tell in the first 2mins you're a wrist player. Try bumping your sensitivity up cuz wrist players need higher sensitivity.
You could change your aim style if you want, but that takes a bit more time and training
Im gonna miss this stuff, when NL has his kiddo i imagine there will be less content and less video of kittens interrupting and more screams and crying and maybe the random naked child running around the room throwing his poop while NL just shakes his head.
he is pogging up
Bless.
