Beans Theorem same for When something bad happends, If you can think in a way where u realise it was just an event that made it Harder for you to reach the objective, and channel your energy Into «Whats Next, what are the actions i can do to win» instead og resentment and anger, Its going to skyrocket your individual performance.

Bruh I do this shit to my friends who are better at smash than me. Normally I’m getting my ass kicked, but then for like half a match I’ll just beat them into a pulp in a mindless trance and then snap out of it and be like wait what and then start losing again
When your playing a competitive game and go into flow state but you going into flow state causes the enemy player to enter flow state. Creating for a match between gods.
I've had this happen a few times when playing UFC 3 but my most memorable moment was in elementary when I played Dodgeball I was doing amazing that day and everyone was out but me and I caught the ball and everything was history
That's a good way to describe it a few times I remember entering it with a clear memory I remember not feeling anything didn't feel my controller didn't feel air and was just playing there's very little time between thoughts and action
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
As a competitive swimmer, I can’t even imagine or try to come up with the number of times this has happened during or right before a race. Normally I’d enter the zone the second I head the beep signaling to go sounded. The second my hands touched the water all I could feel was how it moved around me. Didn’t have to think about breathing, or about my aching muscles. It’s like when I dove in everything about me would just kind of fall away and I’d just be there swimming as fast as I could. It really is such an amazing feeling. Man I miss the water and the tension of seeing who you’d swim against before a race. Those were some amazing times in my life. Hopefully I can swim again soon haha
I had this happen to me several times in basketball. It's very similar to how they depict it in movies in some regards. With the muffled sounds and time slowing. It seems the brain goes into some very selective type of awareness, since it feels like you're actually tunneling, but you're aware at the same time. Weird sensation. Also, in some of those instances, I did things I couldn't before, like grab a rebound at a "near impossible" height. It reminded me of those events where mothers would lift cars that pinned their child and things like that. When it comes to games, even though the only game I played at a competitive level was Quake, I rarely reached flow state in it. HOWEVER, I can reach it every time in a bullet hell game lol. I don't even play those often and I am bad at them, but somehow, every time I play, I just get in that slowed down, gliding type of gameplay where I avoid everything. I think I had that in guitar hero as well. Perhaps the format helps.

I remember that I accidentally busted another kids nose because I was threw the ball in the right spot and I felt quite bad afterwards but hey at least I didn’t lose
@Cameron Brown gang gang yes sorry I meant to say... You're all your egos and you all don't have higher selfs. You're your thoughts and nothing else!!!1!!!!!!
A character in a historical fiction book I read referred to it as “battle joy” or “the joy”: Just fighting without thinking, feeling as if you can do no wrong, and no opponent can stand before you. Nowadays we don’t need to hunt or go to war, so why NOT use it for League?
Manuel Villacarillo Eh, sort of. That might be a version of it, but rather than blind rage it’s more of a simple certainty. Like his body just knew what it had to do to kill and not be killed.
There have been certain days when I’m gaming where I just KNOW I’m in the zone. Most days I can’t achieve that, but random days it will happen and I play like a beast. I think being in the zone doesn’t make me faster, but it improves my IQ and decision making drastically
Same, I notice when I'm having those days where I'm playing very well, I'm also really relaxed and not really that focused. I usually fuck myself over the moment I start over focusing or tensing up.
yup same for me but its frustrating not being able to achieve that same state and potential especially at decently high level cs where if your not on point and in that zone your gonna get destroyed.
Никола Стојков yeah sometimes it's good to just chill me take everything in. Flowing for too long seems stressful cause you're putting all your effort into something always.
Banana!!!! !! I feel flow state burns me out, after being in flow state for a while, I feel i snap out and become lazy. I think that’s just coz the skill to difficulty changed, it just probably got to easy
@@CaffreyPlays that's not true. he never said what game he plays. even if he did play a game where it has sbmm. that's deadass just him losing focus of the game. SBMM doesn't change on a game-to-game basis it changes over a few games because it's the consistency, not the 1 game skill.
I love flow state when gaming. It’s like my consciousness flows through the game and my instincts take over allowing me to go hard with little effort while being able to read and feel the Environment as if I was literally there in the game. It’s a weird feeling but a good feeling
@@yurrr1211 messing around with customizations, loadouts, settings, and never called me... Starts gams 0.1 seconds of joining the server my mom calls me. Not even a joke btw.
Its actually the only thing that is holding me back, because once I played on a lan match it was so much fun and so much more enjoyment than normal video gaming in your own house. I started to lose enjoyment playing normally online now though. I yearn for more esports environment but I dont even intend to play professionally but the esport environment is so much fun. Probably because it actually puts you into the flow state most of the time unless a brain dead team is actually smurfing the whole rookie tournament.
@@rattango9819 The lag stuff is always brought up. Unless it's very infrequent lag which even the pros get, the solution to shitty internet is money. You want to upgrade your internet? You need to pay for it. Still on wifi? Costs money to get wires installed. LAN houses can be expensive to set up. If you're at home playing on wifi you will never have that similar gaming experience.
@@Jawwnn ahahaha sure that is fun to talk about if you have the choice. The assumption that upgrading your internet is always available is very presumptuous of you. Upgrading internet is not a choice, when the location itself is not supported by the internet provider or deemed as a risk or a lost for the company. switch to another provider? what other provider? Switch to 5g broadband? Out of the frying pan and into the fire? Internet service provided in my area is still using copper cable while the town across the small river is already using optic fibre. It's not that I don't upgrade. It's I CAN'T. So no money doesn't solve everything.
Flow state is so addictive, it's like all your worries in the world are gone and it usually makes you perform so much better it's like a real life cheat code
I remember when I was in 4th grade during reading time I had this “spot” and for me it was the most comfortable spot in the class so one day while I was sitting in that spot during quiet reading I was reading this good book and then all the sudden the whole class was in the computer lab and I hadn’t even realized it
bro shit’s crazy once i was reading a book in kindergarten and the teacher turned the lights back on as a signal to stop reading and i didn’t notice and then by the time i noticed her calling my name she’d already given me a red card
I have entered flow state once in a game called destiny 2, I was in a 1v4 (gambit invasion for any destiny players) my mind stopped thinking about the next move to make my fingers moved over the controller on their own and every move I made was perfect. I picked of each player one by one with a bow and used the natural cover to perfection each kill was fluid and my movements where without fault, I won the 1v4 whilst taking little to no damage and doing it all in around 20 seconds. It was incredible and afterwards I couldn't believe what happened
Kinda the same for me except I was playing Smash Bros and I was really only able to do it for a few seconds I literally just stopped thinking and pulled off one of the best combo's I've ever done and I literally didn't even realize it after I had already won the match
"water can become the bottle, teapot, pool, ocean, earth, moon, Mars, sun, supernova, black holes, galaxy, galaxies, and last but not least THE UNIVERSE" -bruce lee I entered flow when writing this comment tho
When me and my friends play rainbow and everyone enters the zone. Totall silence, The only thing that you hear is a constant flow of information. It feels great when everyone is in the zone
Ikr, i remember one time when i was playing CSGO and i was alone vs 4 CTs , I planted the bomb on site A of Dust 2 and then the 4 CTs came at almost the same time 1 from long 1 from short and 2 from the CT spawn ,somehow "The Flow" just kicks in and I killed every single one of the CTs with perfect movements and accuracy without even thinking about doing it and when the round is over and my teammates are losing their shit on the chat I am just like: "Wait what the fuck just happened there?".
I believe "Flow State" is never something you can manually enter, no matter how great you are at any game. Despite how hard anyone could try, Flow State manifests on its own, when you stop thinking about the outside world, and the game essentially becomes your universe.
as a pianist and someone that loves music, If i'm listening to music or playing a rythm game I basically automatically go into the flow state if I like the music, I don't even focus on the game, I focus on the music and I'll usually notice that I'm playing the game purely through my peripheral vision, but for games like COD, rocket league etc, I can only seem to go into the flow state for brief moments... ok I'm done and thank you for coming to my ted talk
This makes so much sense. Whenever I died in R6 I was one of those people who said "I play better in the morning" or "I didn't eat yet" without actual evidence. I guess knowing this I can stop making shitty excuses lol
Bruh i was doing so shit in a match today and i had to go eat. So in my mind finishing up quickly was my main focus. Somehow i got a 4k and won the game. I was like, "well thats convient." this explains it i guess
Bruh just click on their heads. That's my motto and I make it to plat 1 pretty much every season. So just click heads and you'll be diamond, because I have no brain so I'm only plat 1.
On the flow state you are at your strongest, but also at your weakest Once you let the current take you, you will be unstoppable, but if you realise that you entered it, you will become anxious and get killed
Real Thanos shitty internet ruins the possibility of flow state, it causes to much inconsistency. When I was a kid with perfect internet I lived in the flow state😢
I've found that this mental state can be easily unlocked through sports like skiing and snowboarding when you're skilled enough. You're naturally reacting to your environment at high speed without actually thinking about it, and it requires your entire body to be perfectly coordinated. I love the feeling
I have only been snowboarding once which was last year but after learning the basics it was a lot easier and I noticed I was going faster then I would have normally and reacted to obstacles such as a crash ahead of me more easily
I've reached flow state a few times while playing Siege. Exactly like the video says, everything else falls away and my entire focus was on listening for movement, making smart movements, being aware of callouts, etc. During said state I noticed my aim, recoil control, and movements improve drastically. I didn't have to think about any of the moves I was making, I just made them as if it was second nature to peek that corner or frag that doorway or blow that wall.
when i’m in my flow, i’ll get like 15 kills then i’ll realize how good i’m doing, then my brain keeps saying “don’t mess up. don’t mess up. don’t mess up.” and then i mess up
Kamrkaptain this just happened to me kind of, i was playing attack on csgo and popped off with over 20 kills then it went down second because i realized how good i was doing

One time had two teammates I was playing siege with and we were getting absolutely shit on and everyone started to argue and in the midst of everyone arguing I spaced out and aced it was crazy because they were yelling and I didn’t realize till after the game lol
I entered a flow state once while I was playing a game called Combat Arms, about ten or so years ago. Capture the flag on the snowy map; I had the default, free, crappy gun and gear, and I had the flag and was returning to capture it for the game-winning point. I spin around on a hunch so I'm walking backwards to make sure nobody is about to shoot me. The entire enemy team converges on me from the same direction all at once, all shooting. I took hits, but I didn't die, and I don't know how I did it, but I started firing and got five consecutive headshots in rapid succession. I don't know how I did it, but I know that it wasn't just luck - I just sort of knew how much to move the mouse to get a perfectly aimed headshot. I was called a hacker, of course. Up until that point, I had been doing poorly. But in that one moment, I was totally in the zone - I remember only what I was seeing on the computer screen, and it almost felt like I was in the game for a moment. Shit's real, yo.
Yo deadass... I haven't even gotten in the zone yet, but I feel like the nigga goku and I could hit new heights and potentials I can just feel it. I've been training on my mechanical skills for too long it's time for an awakening(ugly ah boi)
Macabre Mage Dang, good old days of Combat Arms. Lord was it a great FPS game, despite the hackers (Nexon did do better holding them down though) Sadly, only to want to try it again after all these years, Nexon sold off the rights to the game. Memories :,)
Alec’s Stuff bro, the whole point of lucid dreaming is that you know you are in a dream. When you are taken out from it, when you realize you‘re in a dream then you can’t dream lucid.
Jimmy Glitchy beginners usually have trouble lucid dreaming cz when they realize theyre in a dream they get overexcited and wake up. thats probably what he was probably saying
I definitely need to learn this when competing in chess. I keep ending up getting nervous every time then I lose focus then I lose the game. I can't say that was anxiety so I guess it falls into the medium challenge low skill level state, like I keep thinking about the outcome and stuffs then I start shivering, oh god weird. I prefer gaming as it's easy for me to enter flow state. I given up on chess lol but I will try again sometime.
for me its the opposite, i get into the flow in chess super easily, as long as i dont tilt, but i only get into flow state in gaming once every blue moon
Or shoes. If your feet are too hot, you (seriously) keep thinking about them being hot, so you have to put them away. If you have better shoes with cooling system - no problems at all.
I really like how he introduced this seemingly unrelated idea to the gaming community. It was a good way to take two different lines of thought and combine them to benefit the thinking people and the playing people, many times both are exercised by the same person.
The first time I knowingly entered the flow state was in apex duos with my friend. His mic wasn't working so we weren't communicating. He died and I grab his banner to rez him. As I do, an enemy team ambushes us. My friend had nothing and I was the only one of us who could fight. Me, playing crypto, had no abilities to help me out so I had to rely on my own mechanical skill. I then proceeded to enter the zone, and kill the entire team by myself with nothing but an re45 without getting hit once while they had r99s and prowlers. That was when I realized that if I could enter that state, I could play incredibly well. I've been trying to find out how I could enter it with a bit more control and not randomly and this was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
@SGRP 270 dude i can't even get electodynamix. but i have a buddy that completed legit over 80+ demons (even some hard demons) so he gives me tips and stuff
It's annoying when you lose your FLOW. Because while I'm gaming in flow state I play like a god. I barely miss and die. But when I comment myself on it I lose it. I know you know this feeling.
Idk who need to hear this. But self doubt is the worse possible thing you can think of. Be confident and think back to your best highlights. YOU DID THAT NO ONE ELSE. CONFIDENCE IS KEY.
I remember entering this state several times after fighting some of the more difficult fromsoft bosses such as O&S and Isshin. Makes the games so much more engaging
Yes, highly agree. I played every last souls games From software threw at us and enjoyed every last minute of me getting my ass kicked. Its those small tweaks you adjust to improve yourself in situations every time you failed lol and in the end, once you beat a boss that feeling is the best ever.
I get into this reading books. Sometimes the imagery becomes so immersive I can hear and see the scenes in my head. The emotions of the characters faces, the items in their hands. It's unreal, then many days or weeks later I remember the book not by the words, but by the memory of the scene in my head and people are shocked about how much I remember. It's beautiful.
@@youssafsu2307 I can do this too but not always. Some people dislike reading so obviously it isn't for everyone lol. You have to enjoy it to experience it like that.
I always do this when playing ffa games, especially when I'm forced to fight many players at once, the concentration is so high that even my frienss on voice chat know when I'm like that because I completely silence myself and don't even hear what they're saying.
One example of a difference between flow state and non-flow state is, like Ron said, the level of confidence you have. If I'm not in flow state, and I'm in a 1v1, I'm almost always nervously peeking every corner in fear of losing a gunfight, but in flow state, I simply check each corner without the nervous peeking because I am not worried with losing the gunfight, because I'm confident I can win it. Instead of jiggle-peeking each corner, I just calmly "flow" from corner to corner, without hesitation (unless it is needed) or nervousness.
I'm only champ 2 but when I was near champ 3 I was in flow state for like a whole day, and half the game's were long overtimes, all of which being incredibly exhausting due to the sheer speed of both sides.

The worst thing is when you enter the flow state, outplay someone, and then break yourself out of it accidentally by thinking how good that play was.
And then you try repeating what you did but by trying to force it you end up messing up and dying for it

There have been certain days when I’m gaming where I just KNOW I’m in the zone. Most days I can’t achieve that, but random days it will happen and I play like a beast. I think being in the zone doesn’t make me faster, but it improves my IQ and decision making drastically
Same, I notice when I'm having those days where I'm playing very well, I'm also really relaxed and not really that focused. I usually fuck myself over the moment I start over focusing or tensing up.
yup same for me but its frustrating not being able to achieve that same state and potential especially at decently high level cs where if your not on point and in that zone your gonna get destroyed.

@@rattango9819 The lag stuff is always brought up. Unless it's very infrequent lag which even the pros get, the solution to shitty internet is money. You want to upgrade your internet?

Oh damn 😂
@@Jawwnn ahahaha sure that is fun to talk about if you have the choice. The assumption that upgrading your internet is always available is very presumptuous of you. Upgrading internet is not a choice, when the location itself is not supported by the internet provider or deemed as a risk or a lost for the company. switch to another provider? what other provider? Switch to 5g broadband? Out of the frying pan and into the fire? Internet service provided in my area is still using copper cable while the town across the small river is already using optic fibre. It's not that I don't upgrade. It's I CAN'T. So no money doesn't solve everything.

It was incredible and afterwards I couldn't believe what happened

I believe "Flow State" is never something you can manually enter, no matter how great you are at any game. Despite how hard anyone could try, Flow State manifests on its own, when you stop thinking about the outside world, and the game essentially becomes your universe.

I entered a flow state once while I was playing a game called Combat Arms, about ten or so years ago. Capture the flag on the snowy map; I had the default, free, crappy gun and gear, and I had the flag and was returning to capture it for the game-winning point.
I spin around on a hunch so I'm walking backwards to make sure nobody is about to shoot me. The entire enemy team converges on me from the same direction all at once, all shooting.
I took hits, but I didn't die, and I don't know how I did it, but I started firing and got five consecutive headshots in rapid succession. I don't know how I did it, but I know that it wasn't just luck - I just sort of knew how much to move the mouse to get a perfectly aimed headshot.
I was called a hacker, of course. Up until that point, I had been doing poorly. But in that one moment, I was totally in the zone - I remember only what I was seeing on the computer screen, and it almost felt like I was in the game for a moment.
Shit's real, yo.
Combat Arms?
lit AF, I remembered that game long ago too x)
Yo deadass... I haven't even gotten in the zone yet, but I feel like the nigga goku and I could hit new heights and potentials I can just feel it. I've been training on my mechanical skills for too long it's time for an awakening(ugly ah boi)

The zone isnt unrelated to gaming.. i think gaming coined the phrase "the zone" but i see whachu mean
The first time I knowingly entered the flow state was in apex duos with my friend. His mic wasn't working so we weren't communicating. He died and I grab his banner to rez him. As I do, an enemy team ambushes us. My friend had nothing and I was the only one of us who could fight. Me, playing crypto, had no abilities to help me out so I had to rely on my own mechanical skill. I then proceeded to enter the zone, and kill the entire team by myself with nothing but an re45 without getting hit once while they had r99s and prowlers. That was when I realized that if I could enter that state, I could play incredibly well. I've been trying to find out how I could enter it with a bit more control and not randomly and this was incredibly helpful. Thank you.
This how you beat levels in geometry dash
Nope I'm just very good at games
@@HishighnessMrL ok

So true
I bet deadlocked twice, now I play many times a day and can't reach 30%
@SGRP 270 dude i can't even get electodynamix. but i have a buddy that completed legit over 80+ demons (even some hard demons) so he gives me tips and stuff
It's annoying when you lose your FLOW. Because while I'm gaming in flow state I play like a god. I barely miss and die. But when I comment myself on it I lose it. I know you know this feeling.
When I play by myself I'm more focused but when I play with friends it's harder to focus because I'm talking
@@rafamadrigal12 that's so true whenever I try focusing, my friends start talking and I end up losing my focus
Its always a friend that chimes in with “Dude ur doing so well” 😂😂
EXACTLY i cant mention that im playing good or else i lose it
For me flow says boom then vanish's before i can comment on it
Imagine Bruce Lee in csgo lmao
Imagine Mr. CS in CSGO

Idk who need to hear this. But self doubt is the worse possible thing you can think of. Be confident and think back to your best highlights. YOU DID THAT NO ONE ELSE.
CONFIDENCE IS KEY.
Dark Souls games taught me how to do this very well lol
I remember entering this state several times after fighting some of the more difficult fromsoft bosses such as O&S and Isshin. Makes the games so much more engaging
Yes, highly agree. I played every last souls games From software threw at us and enjoyed every last minute of me getting my ass kicked. Its those small tweaks you adjust to improve yourself in situations every time you failed lol and in the end, once you beat a boss that feeling is the best ever.

I get into this reading books. Sometimes the imagery becomes so immersive I can hear and see the scenes in my head. The emotions of the characters faces, the items in their hands. It's unreal, then many days or weeks later I remember the book not by the words, but by the memory of the scene in my head and people are shocked about how much I remember. It's beautiful.
damn. How do you do that. I always fall asleep
Isn't that how everyone reads...
@@youssafsu2307 I can do this too but not always. Some people dislike reading so obviously it isn't for everyone lol. You have to enjoy it to experience it like that.
Yess! Its so crazy sometimes I can't even tell if it was a movie or a book I had read
Some people actually can't visualize anything inside their mind if they have Aphantasia
I think we’ve all done this tbh, especially anyone who has played competitive video games
I always do this when playing ffa games, especially when I'm forced to fight many players at once, the concentration is so high that even my frienss on voice chat know when I'm like that because I completely silence myself and don't even hear what they're saying.
I do this in minecraft survival games
Guilherme Serra fr I don’t hear what people are saying either
Geometry dash is hella competitive
if you ever played a competitive game on acid you will literally enter ultra instinct lol
Routine really does help, when i woke up early, took a walk, and ate a good breakfast was when i hit my peak rank.
incredibly well done, thank you for this
Glad you enjoyed it!

hi daniel
hello hanieldarrison
Daniel out here trying to figure out how to win Valorant games
*enters flow state in an fps game*
*dies once*
My flow state: ight imma head out
Normal keyboard: *flow state*
Exactly same keyboard with RGB:
*ULTRA INSTINCT*
Hehe😂
Add a gaming chair and you are unstoppable
Lol
One example of a difference between flow state and non-flow state is, like Ron said, the level of confidence you have. If I'm not in flow state, and I'm in a 1v1, I'm almost always nervously peeking every corner in fear of losing a gunfight, but in flow state, I simply check each corner without the nervous peeking because I am not worried with losing the gunfight, because I'm confident I can win it. Instead of jiggle-peeking each corner, I just calmly "flow" from corner to corner, without hesitation (unless it is needed) or nervousness.
So this is the power of ultra instinct...
Xenos so this is the language of the gods...

Going 5+ minutes into overtime on Rocket League when everyone in the match is in flow state, exhausting!
Exxle2 Bruh it was like that for me in diamond 2
I had a 8min OT yesterday with insane saves in both sides. Until a teammate shot an owngoal
I was in a 300 credit tourney finals and we had a 7 minute overtime until my friend crashes
I'm only champ 2 but when I was near champ 3 I was in flow state for like a whole day, and half the game's were long overtimes, all of which being incredibly exhausting due to the sheer speed of both sides.
@@SteveBearscemi i don't think a flow state a whole day is possible
