autimatic has one of the most clean playstyles ever. def gonna listen to all of this

[@evad787]

This video has an insane amount of knowledge and the fact it only has 6700 views is absurd. As someone who started Valorant in a very low rank, made it to the highest rank, competed at the t3 level for a bit of time, and now coach ranked players of various skills/ranks I couldn't recommend this video more it will help you in improve in a ranked environment or team environment and I talk about things like this with my students on a day to day basis. 10/10 must watch if you're serious about improving.

[@ddkesports]

Thank you for the comment! I appreciate it. I definitely agree 😁

[@bortolinho]

I liked autimatic’s unique perspectives and explanations of concepts like the macro-micro coloring book and the “Yes and” improv calling style. Really interesting

[@TheFreaknShroom]

I really love how you turn these interviews(?) into conversations by giving your own perspective and ideas to the conversation! I feel like the people you talk to tend to open up really well as a result. Super interesting to listen to while I do my aim training!

[@Flytes_Val]

I listen to it while I do my aim training too. W multitasking.

[@YOBERT]

honestly, been following both of you guys for a while, and it's great that both of you are in a position to make content together even after all the years from cs. Hope the best for both you ddk and autimatic.

[@oWaka]

Love how well spoken Tim is, and his insight on his experiences

[@gabrielbuilder1529]

I recently found your channel while browsing about niche esport podcasts and now I listen to your videos everytime I take the bus back from work. Keep up the good work ! :D

[@ddkesports]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Flytes_Val]

I just finished the whole thing, and it's so cool that almost everything he talked about is stuff that I've thought about before, at least on some level. I've been trying to work on not overthinking moments when you I need decisive action for a while now, and hearing him talk about that and other stuff he does which I do to just gives me hope that I'm on the right track. These podcasts never disappoint.

[@barryparker5225]

Great interview! Really love how you guys bounced off each other and found similarities in your conversations. Could listen to you guys for another hour or so, keep it up DDK and thanks for the content!

[@Bigolbktofwtr]

I love the way Autimatic thinks! Definitely gained a new fan :)

[@lietkynes3133]

Woah hype interview. Just discovered in time for a long drive. Thank you sir 🙏

[@Jimmy-pt8jd]

love your style of interviews man keep it up

[@ddkesports]

Glad you like them! Will do.

[@omaral2458]

Great podcast as usual, lets go!

[@personal1kr]

dang this was great and the whole ranked segment really spoke to me. this was a good one

[@chalkbell]

top of the most insightful and useful conversations to listen to regarding learning to improve and learning to learn in games and by extension many other things

[@WorldClassThief]

When Tim talks about playing under pressure, it reminds me of a book you sourced in one of your essays by Jared Tendler talking about emotions. It's been pretty interesting to watch these podcasts and see a lot of the concepts come back.

[@twixy..therianz]

Great interview!
ps: ofc we know legends like CajunB and MSL :)

[@jah9125]

Great interview, really hope Tim decides to stay in CS things are finally starting to look better in NA 🙏 As his biggest truther though will support him no matter what he chooses to do 👑 Hope to see more interviews like this from this channel in the future!

[@yaotziN]

Great conversation !:)

[@isaiahchand8991]

Thanks for the good pod

[@ddkesports]

Thanks for listening!

[@chilipker]

another banger from ddk

[@Launders-]

please more of this, I'm not sure if you could interview elige again that would honestly be a dream.

[@ddkesports]

We recently came close to it several times. Scheduling issues! But still trying.

[@Launders-]

@@ddkesports honestly I'll take anything these podcasts are really insightful to how pros approach games and what it takes to be the best

[@majlo213]

weren't you on google podcasts? I swear I used to listen to your stuff there some time ago, but can't find it now. Do you upload there?

[@ddkesports]

Right now it's just youtube and spotify. I did used to use a service that distributed everywhere but I've since stopped paying for that, sadly.

[@widowdev]

a lot of great hair in this video

[@veisszero]

GOATAMATIC

[@lcolquitt97]

We love TImmy Tenders

[@BalvarineFPS]

14:50 "There's no way to replicate that outside that environment". I think the Korea National Women's archery team actually replicates that environment by having them train with really loud yelling and terrible noises on speakers or earphones. That way, their minds are trained against those conditions. They are the most dominant nation in archery by a long shot. (pun)

[@BalvarineFPS]

th-cam.com/video/3bOhPVGt-wU/w-d-xo.html
I could be mistaking it for the whole national team

[@johnfortres]

crazy how you got autimatic to go onto this.

[@ddkesports]

Oh yeah, why do you say that?

[@johnfortres]

cause its cool that you got such a big player on@@ddkesports
