There is this guy that made a book about the best gaming equipment for gaming, he compared all gaming mices, keyboards, headsets and other gaming equipment to find the best of the best and he gives it away for free to, you just have to put in your email though :/. gamingequipment.net/bestequipmentebook
That Flow thing is so real, whenever I feel like im in a montage or let a really sick move play out in my head I play sooo much better and that works in pretty much every competetive or freestylish game like csgo, siege, rocket league, old cod sniping for clips, all mobas and many others. Just listen to music (if possible) and enjoy yourself, competetive gaming is 50% mindset imo
Dude dont worry me to...i play csgo and suddenly i am really good but then i get thirsty so i get up and get a drink and when i come back boom....my skill level is shit.
@@mirvetealiu3960 yes but only for a few minutes or hours. I also use flow to make my skill level higher. When flow ends youll reach your skill level wich you are always having.
SIMPLE TIPS 1: STRUGGLE hard by playing with those players who are better then you 2: RELEASE : after a time you will be frustrated because of being matched up with with better players at certain time you have to let it go FLOW will comes automatically after release a just taking care off
Become more brutal/fierce/selfish just like they do.. its the only way.. put yourself first.. think/predict them.. learn from them.. do anything/everything thats acheivable possible.. but by biggest amount.. work HARDD. and I mean hard.. write it down if you have to.. you want to learn the most you possibly can from a game.. its all about growth mindset.. but rather a competitive growth mindset.. think how someone else thinks and then think to counter them.. if you haven't worked hard then its gonna be difficult to beat them.. or know youve worked hard.. you need to have learned the most by end of the day.. and repeat day in/day out.. Consider Easy Way out, often is best way to winning.. which means using op characters/meta.. im sorry but its meta for a reason.. and likelihood is people will abuse those characters to be on top.. so you must do the same.. otherwise theyll go up 10x/10 fold that you will with your less than meta character/dwindling guy.. end up prodigies to your diminishing playstyle..often best strategy there is, is a PERSONAL counter strategy.. and that means a opponent-specific strategy of using characters they also use.. youve got to get personal.. in figurative way of course.. and forget about all those people who say its just game.. its not just a game.. or say how you spend too many hours on game, its hard work.. and its your leisure time and only you own that.. if you don't game then the people above you are gonna be higher thanyou ever where.. like yes it is only a game.. but a you really gonna let it slip?? and enjoy your roast turkey afterwards? youve got to get mean.. and take life by straps of its shoulders.. and toss it.. play like you mean it.. get your head into the game mindset/game of chess.. and consider that sometimes easier methods of winning are best.. its shit. its annoying but it works.. and if you want to beat those players then you have to cheat just like they do..
Quagum Clearly you cant give urself that 4% chance but u Can set up Challanges for every game If ur playing like lol set A challange to Get 200 minions at 20 mins set a challange to not die a single time in A game to Get this amount of kill or anything And u will improve If u play CS GO like set urself A goal how many u have to kill how much u Can die And u Can DO that for Any game
Just do it. You know that moment in a game when you think to do something and you think it's gonna turn out great but then you take a step back and doubt yourself? Stop doubting yourself, just go for it.
@@lordeddy05 I can't even play for 30 minutes a day I get too pissed off that I'm underperforming I should be the best player majority of the time but im getting slapped by everyone good and bad I normally play 24/7
I think my controller is broken my settings that I'm used to feel a lot different they feel so much faster like in fortnite I used to run 0.650 X and 0.600 Y and a 0.340 targeting sens same in cod I used to run 9/9 with 0.5 ads those all feel like something different now I think I have broken something when I was replacing the sides of my controller with trigger stops I used a flat head screwdriver to open it and I must have broke something to do the thumbstick

Getting in a ultimate flow state like when youre on a 1v5 situation and you do something extraordinary is amaziny, feels so good when you realize "wait, wtf have i done???"
ew This video is no simple cut and cut and cut. It is a detailed video with lots of work put into it. It’s really difficult to make a video like this. And a 10 min video is long to edit like this.
These conditions are basically impossible to recreate on purpose, and they don't really function for me. Personally, when I first start playing, before warming up, I absolutely destroy my matches on any game. I get sloppy the longer I play, regardless of the challenge.
Meditation helps in silencing the unnecessary conscious inner chatter in your brain, therefore makes it easier to achieve the flow state. If i were you I'd give it a try.
Sonic the ssj ninja legends say that when entering a state of flow, you briefly hear something in the distance along the lines of "KA KA KA KA KACHI DAZE," but quickly tune it out due to being in flow
I can feel the flow state. Today I decided to ace and I did it. It feels really good when in flow state after the game ends. I get in flow state every single day and I see improvements on myself.
Damn! This is a very well made video! Imma try out this flow thing! I feel like I have experienced it before (like playing FPS games where all of a sudden I will start doing good out of nowhere)
The thing about the flow is that you cannot get it on a constant base. Sometimes you get it but most of the time your brain and thoughts prevent you from getting there.
Dizzy Krissi ya thats true because there is always gona be a diffrence in challenge because it will either be too high or too low so you have to find that perfect game.

so that is Flow. I remember i used to play cod ghosts and the first i died 0-31. i kept pushing everyday 12 hours a day (i had summer vacation) for 3.5 months. by the end of it, I was scoring on top of the leaderboards nearly every single game l. Be chill and go with the flow
:) The flow is when you are acting without thinking, cos your conscious mind is the one blocking the all knowing subconscious, which is a super computer through which we and everything are connected. When you dumping all the garbage of the memory knowledge and let yourself be guided only by your inner being you are becoming again one with everything and you are in that flow.
Perfect description. Being in a state of flow does not require conscious, deliberate thought to do amazing things. It's an incredible feeling and I wish we could harness it better.
I've never experienced Flow in gaming but I am the 12 year old British taekwondo champion and I have experienced Flow many times in sparring matches where instinct takes control over your mind making u do stuff u digdnt think u could do before
Step 1: Get a laptop with a duel core processor, 2gb ram and intel on board graphics. Step 2: Download stem after waiting 30min for Chrome to load and install steam Step 3: Download Crisis and play at 1fps
So basically you need to push your skill level 4% over it's limit and then you'll be pro in 100 days but that's where the problem is. It's not that easy to push yourself over your limit everyday, everyone has a bad day and if you have a bad day some people get less motivation by that so just remember: You can do it, push yourself even further and failure isn't bad it's there to help you improve!
The exponential thing this is honestly mental masturbation bullshit. The more you improve, generally it will get more difficult to reach the next level. three reasons i can think. 1) plateaus 2) bad habits - these take extra time and sometimes time NOT playing to break. the more youve been training, the harder I find it to isolate the action in your mind as you do them to try and stop doing them 3) the inherent skills that youre training become more complex, both mentally and physically. The idea that trying to improve a small percent each day is really good, and it will add up overtime. But it's nothing novel, and its naive to assume you can consistently compound a certain percentage a day.
This vid helped me so much, it’s been a year and I used it for my life since then, Thanks for dropping such a rich content, I’ll keep this for my life. Peace!
This is very very informative and I’m very interested to learn more, please Please PLEASE make a part 2. I appreciate the involvement with the gaming community.
You know what's funny? My Chinese teacher has described flow to me and my classmates. She said: "When you are in the flow, you are so focused that you can't stop learning. This is the fastest way to learn." Fun fact: Did you know that when you are in the flow, you can't hear any sounds around you except for what you are focused on? Sometimes you even become blind, you can't see anything around you while you are doing the task- and you don't notice it.
Thank you guys so much for the love and support!

Best way to get easier into your flow when gaming: EAT healthy, SLEEP enough and EXCERCISE. Get a schedule/rythme in your life. This is the key to achieving flow.
@@المرأةهيبيتيهوبيتيهيملكية it isn't supposed to be a competitive game, its supposed to fuel peoples creativity and extremely fun when played with friends.
Omg I totally get what this flow thing, but I've truly only lost myself in it once during FPS games. When I went to the oftomologist, they put drops in my eye and I couldn't see shit, but I decided to play some TF2 since I had a long time before bed. At first I was frustrated af cause I couldn't hit for my life, but after 20 minutes, I was hitting perfect headshots for 10 mins straight, I swear. It was so fucking bizzare and I wish I could replicate that cause rn my aim is garbage
I studied flow at university...I'm a personal trainer and an osteopath, just wanted to share a couple of things: 1.- flow IS real but the 1st thing is perceived ability vs perceived challenge...that's a lot. I need to train to be able to understand my ability and I need mental tools to perceive the challenge in the right way. 2.- it's not that easy, you just have 1 Michael Jordan in 100 years or more, even if you can enter flow during every game your ability is partially depending from your genetics...at least 20% 3.- even with a good genetic and the ability to enter in flow state remember that champions train every single day even twice a day, they live and eat well...hours of sleep/type of food is what you need to be efficient 'cuz of you don't sleep or you eat junky food your body won't have the necessary energy to work... in 1 day the nervous system alone uses 300gr. Of glucose to work properly...and in videogame I assume it's a lot more. 4.- i know we're used to see pro gamers as bad and weak nerds but you forgot one big thing in this video..: train hard in the gym! It raises your ability to focus, helps you with stress and gives your brain a better irroration...it should make your reflexes faster too! Obviously there's no study on this topic but I bet that your overall ability will improve because...guess what? Training makes you eat better and sleep better, so we're back at point 3. If you have any suggestions write just down below and I hope I added something good to your knowledge. Happy Xmas ☺
This is years after the vid was released, but every time I lose motivation I come back here, probably watched it hundreds if not thousands of times and it worked every time
I got this flow theory when learning foreign languages. I can learn 1 language just for around 3-4 months! It was hard and slow for the first and become easier witg more time and consistency given to learn it. I felt that too in CSGO, I got better aim and spray control by doing consistent training everyday I don't really mind about ranks, skill is what matters with the game. Rank will follow, so just let it flow and enjoy the game.
For languages it depends on the difficulty, for the European languages like German, French, Italian which shares a lot of similar words with English it might be somewhat easier. But, for languages that are written in different alphabets such as Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic it might take at least a year. I'm currently focusing on both Japanese and Korean for intermediate and upper levels. I tend to immerse myself by watching animes, dramas, news and videos to learn new words and get my ear used to the language. Also I set my phone's language to Japanese so that I can read and see the language anywhere I go. And one more thing, taking a challenge by signing up and attending proficiency tests will boost the learning speed faster. Because, by signing up for proficiency tests like JLPT, DaF and TOPIK for example, we can have clear objective and purpose to achieve in which it also affects one's motivation to learn something @@enjioncrack7851
@@black5000001 wow, first of all, thanks for responding, I appreciate you taking your time to come up with your reply, second, I’m learning spanish since I’ve been informed that a lot of European countries use the format, also, I will definitely sign up for the proficiency tests you’ve mentioned since I lack the motivation to continue my lessons and the tests might be the answer to my laziness, lastly, I also want to learn Japanese, but your way of learning Japanese is commendable, actually setting your phone’s language to an alphabet that is entirely different from english is so impressive.
I find I achieve flow by simply just staying calm. Don't panic, don't think too much, and just act on what come naturally. Works for me in all reaction based games. I also find that playing on a high refresh rate monitor and larger, high res monitor allows me to get lost in the game, and achieve flow easier.
I felt this when I went pro for Destiny 1 you actually hit this hard. It's important not to give up and get your ass kicked and soon you'll give the ass kicking
Let it flow, Let it flow, Can't hold myself back anymore Let it flow, Let it flow, Turn away and slam the control I don't care! what i'm going to pay! Let the anger rage on! The game never bothered me anyway.
That's pretty on point, I've been doing that my whole life, only now I have a word for it "Flow". That's how I got to RB6 plat in a single day, from nothing, but once I achieved plat, I didn't have the goal to go higher, because I didn't care for it, so I stagnated. The key is to fix the right goal for you and aim for it. Once achieved, either choose to go forward, or let go.
Stumbled upon this video by accident. I do play a lot of video games, study on university and learn drawing for future job at the same time. I want to become an animator one day so i need to get better and better at drawing. Watching this video actually made me understand the process i go through every week when i go to drawing classes. I sit down, start to draw the 2pt. perspective grid, get very upset at my lines (heck, sometimes i get upset even before the classes start actually), start to redraw everything and after a while, 4hrs have passed and i have done quite a lot of work. It is important to actually realize the existence of flow. I actually hope to have more time after writing my thesis, and then learn to use this technique to learn drawing faster. Thanks for the video man!
yep! finally someone who gets the same feeling that I got while gaming at a young age. back then TF2 was new and it was my favourite game! every day I came back from school I used to turn on my pc, turn my lights off and just game with music boosting in my headphones, it was so intense I was even sweating (no joke). anyways, cool video ! really professional and well done !
I play csgo like a heroine addict I learn boosts, I learn how to aim, I learn how to communicate as a team. I am now LEM but the only thing I need help in is to find teammates and a team name. Dream team.gg is helping me and I love it
When you're in therapy, the first thing you learn is that addiction isn't a question of willpower. It's a chronic brain disease that anyone can suffer (or certain or more susceptible than others, like depression). It's not because you're weak or immoral.
i’ve never actually used the term “flow” but it happens to me all the time and it’s a great feeling. i recall it happening on christmas last year and the game that i was into, all “flowed” up was rainbow six siege. i got mvp every game i played and i honestly regret not playing ranked that day.
Bro this video relates so much lol, the hyper focus getting lost and getting hungry as well. Anyone else gets rlly shaky and gets small anxiety when they get out of the game to eat lol
Sometimes i got a flow when playing CSGO i just thought i just cant do any inhuman reactions but then i realize that i can do Inhuman reactions such as one tapping and enemy AWPer with an AK and doing crazy headshot flicks and they will accuse me of aimbot and after that i was like WTF just happend
This is why in pursuits like sports (non-e) and coding bootcamps, these academy-based systems are so effective. They rarely teach you a special skill that you couldn't have figured out on your own, but the environment of peers and mentors push you keep getting into the right level of challenge.
It's not safe to say at all. Gaming is not a sport - at a high level it's a competitive game just like chess or poker. You don't hear people calling Poker a sport, they call it a Poker tournament.
id struggle to increase skill by 4% when skill level doesnt seem easy to quantify. I could measure and try to impove reaction times but thats only one piece of the skill sheet. what sort of things can we measure then increase by 4% in competitive CoD or CSGO? any advice is welcome
eAthlete Labs so basically play especially when you want to stop because you're doing so bad. Usually that just leads me to play worse. Over frustration.
Accuracy, team communication, destroying team one at a time because it's hard to kill two people with one bullet. Entry frag, support, sniping, which is flicking, rifler which is little flick but headshots
This really applies in all aspects. But I think the message probably got to more people because the title was of video games. Really liked the video. Thank you for this inspiration.
Gamer Giu's play t-hunt everyday. 3 minimum before ranked, only go for headshots. then try to speed run them. play some light music in the background to relax you. your aim will get better but look up kixstar for strats. I was gold in season 2, season 3 I was diamond and have been since then. you can do it. goodluck :)
Pops712 wow, it sounds easy, this week i have been playing better, i was doing that, i only put a slower music and i rush i t hunt searching for headshots. This season i have no chance to hit diamond but maybe the next season. (I was playing bad cause i used to play with a friend that is too good and he was always carrying me and carrying the team, now he doesnt play anymore and me and my team we just losing all the matches, now i start to carry, and i play with friends that carry too (but i dont let that they carry me) Yesterday i did 2 clutches one next to the other. Im doing more clutches (even with high ping). Tnx for the tips
I will be graduating from high school in under 4 months and at the age of 16. I set my life up this way because of my passion for league of legends. This sounds like a dumb dream to most but I am high enough rank (high diamond) for it to not be too ridiculous, this passion has also sparked intense self improvement so I can be the best person I can be to achieve this goal. I have historically had on and off feelings of hitting a wall of improvement and this idea of flow might be the cause of that. My situation currently also warrants me being very scared of this as if I can't break these skills walls within the few years I have to train I will be a loser with no job and no marketable skills. I don't understand this concept of balancing skill and boredom as it pertains to league of legends, as unless I buy an account in a skill tier that I am not there is no way for me to play with players that offer more of a challenge, there also is no clear progress nor immediate feedback with really anything you do at a high level of play and often times I find myself needed higher level players to analyze things for me as I don't fully understand some concepts. If you could elaborate more on how to more consistently achieve flow in my circumstance It would mean the world to me. thanks also sorry for the wall of text/life story, tried to re-write this 3 times and this felt to be the most succinct way.
I don't play league of legends so I'm not sure what the process of the game is, but you're in your rank because you earned your way there like all others near you, some will be better of you in areas of the game and some you will be, it's a mix and match when there's enough nuance in the game, which I'm sure there is. People near your skill level is best for this situation as you're not in over your head. It's all about how you allow yourself to perceive the situation; if you think it's too hard, it will be harder than it is. If you think it's too easy, it will be harder than it is too. If you're in a balanced situation, and you respect every opponent and their tactical choice, it will be easier to perceive everything as a small challenge. Most importantly, skill is necessary to achieve flow. It's great you have people analyse what you do, keep doing that and keep finding out information on your own, flow doesn't just bust out crazy mechanics that you don't know how to do, it takes away conscious thought which is slow and judgemental, thus allowing you to achieve the mechanics you are knowledgeable of to a higher, more creative, more consistent level. Our brain is like a super computer, we live in the world we do today because so many people used their brain to a high level and improved on our society. It can do things we never thought possible, our conscious mind gets in the way of that, by thinking it's not possible. Skill and knowledge is necessary to have the esteem and belief that things are possible at a high level, in turn diminishing doubt. Which leads on to relaxing, which is the most important part in my opinion. I don't think you need to feel tension in order to be relaxed, but it's easier to know what being relaxed feels like when you feel tension. A good way to relax your muscles is to tense up really tight for 5 seconds and then slowly release. It's the paradox of life, on off, up down, day night, love hate, ying yang. One can not exist or be experienced without the other. When you experience high levels of stress in your life it will be easier to reach a level of relaxation for flow. Whenever you feel like someone has the up on you with anything, or you're challenging yourself with a particular skill and you feel a bit stressed, consciously calm yourself for 5 seconds or however long you feel you need, and then forget about it and play your rhythm. Once again it's all about perception, you need to believe in a challenge, so try to find one as often as you can. Hope this helps
btw just a tip, find other outlets too. pick up an instrument, do a sport, play poker, go for walks/jog, join a community thing, learn to code, take online courses on things you could be interested in. I'm sure you do but I'm just saying be conscious of it. This isn't just to gain marketable skills, it's to gain life skills and sense of worth that's absolutely necessary for a healthy and productive mind. Feeling like you can game better than before is a great feeling, but when you get a song right on an instrument or you achieve a goal you get the same chemical response in your brain, but the situational variance makes it feel new and internally builds upon your sense of balance and confidence, which is sooo transferable to gaming. and hey now you can code and make a bit of money on the side
thanks for your perspective on this, I love getting a taste of other peoples pool of knowledge. Besides going to school and playing league I'm not doing too much besides learning a language I guess (Vietnamese). I'll make a conscious effort to improve myself in general so I can have the healthiest mind possible when trying to challenge myself. Thanks again
If you're not already doing this, I recommend you start recording your game play and analyze it. Just like pro athletes study film from their last match, you should also be doing that. Also getting another hobby can also significantly help you improve. It will give you something else to look forward to and an alternate avenue to release stress and have fun. For example if you take up painting, improving your motorskills and hand eye in a non gaming setting, learning to appreciate details and 'zen' from a different perspective can absolutely have a carry over effect to your gaming career. Best of luck to you.
You should pursue playing LoL for your University instead. I reached masters at age 17 in League and doing uni/league works out just fine with the scholarship money. It's actually ridiculous to go pro under masters 300 LP because there's not enough spots for LCS. Most if not all pro players get high diamond to challenger within 1-2 years. Also you went vs MEGRIEFoMG yesterday XD hes a friend of mines
What I do in csgo is to ask for my friends help thata hogher rank and is over all better to boost me and I watch him play after 20 csgp matches I improved faster and play nearly like him but abit worse
I like how this video is like a mental video and being really scientific and trying to help with your mental state, but then you realize its about gaming and most parents hate it when their kids play too many videogames
*TRUE FLOW STATE FROM A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE* So I have been playing video games for years and have been playing Overwtach for 3 and just got into Masters about 5 months ago. Now every once in a while I would think I got into flow state. I was wrong. There is a big difference between being very focused and being in flow state. Flow state is where your body becomes 1 with your mind. I experienced this for 1 and a half hours. I was playing like normal and then after 1 game that was very intense, I felt something. I realized that towards the last half of the game, I got this feeling of calmness mixed with intense focus, crazy good decision making (waaaaay better than normal), multitasking, and I just felt connected. I realised i was in flow state and got very excited. I used this to my advantage and played about 5 games and won them all. *Now let me explain what it is like because I know that you want to know* You get very calm Your heartbeat doesnt go crazy but you can tell it's up. Your decision making was through the roof (at least for me) My mechanical skill was crazy good (because of this I played heroes that have snipers and that sort of thing) You dont get tilted no matter what Time slows down like craaaaaaazy (I could swear I was playing for like 5 hours even though it was 1 and a half) All your senses dull out and heighten at the same time. It's hard to explain. It's like your senses only activate when you need them so all the senses I wasnt using, faded. And overall you just feel like 1, everything is in sync. Its very strange because you feel like you are barely even doing anything, yet you are popping off and going insane. It's like your mind and body kinda just take control and you relax. Now this is the first time I have achieved this in many many years of playing so it is very rare.
i recommend checking this app called "UnderstandingGamers" it shows you different types of gamers and explains why they play the way they do. If you can understand how people play you can improve the way you play.
Flow is a very real thing. However, It's difficult if not impossible to achieve states of flow if not in a situation where the brain feels it will "lose". Whether that is life threatening or not doesn't matter. As long as the brain feels that it is threatened. The person in question should be focused on the set goal and commited to achieving it. Flow is most common in people with ADD/ADHD. The thought patterns of those people are different in that their thoughts flow much more freely than others. When they are interested in something... flow comes so very easily. It isn't even hard to attain.
@@scorpion9063 I think the point is, if your not enjoying it, don't force your self to do something at the expense of your own mental health that and wanting to go pro in gaming is prob, not the smartest career plan as opposed to other skill-based options, but if you play fps games to see how high you can climb and your enjoying it and don't want to go pro than by all means keep playing but if your not enjoying it and you constantly hate the game and burst out into a fit of rage throwing your mouse at the wall telling your team to kill themselves than perhaps it would be best to quit as it would be very harmful to your mental health to keep doing that self destructive tendencies are never great
I was 14 when I experienced flow for the first time. I was playing free for all in Modern Warfare 2. I was on controller but I shot anything that showed itself to me. Went 30 kills 3 deaths, and it happens every now again when I play Apex. Great video, good information.

LETS GO DUDE WOOOOOOO FUCK YEA CONTINUE STRONG LETS FKIN GO
SIMPLE TIPS
1: STRUGGLE hard by playing with those players who are better then you
2: RELEASE : after a time you will be frustrated because of being matched up with with better players at certain time you have to let it go
FLOW will comes automatically after release a just taking care off
If you play fighting games play people your skill level so you can work on your punish game and people better than you to work on neutral/disadvantage
So you just rage?
How do you get in a flow if you keep losing?
Wdym “let go” in 2. Let go of what? Becuase currently i suck at everything i play
Become more brutal/fierce/selfish just like they do.. its the only way.. put yourself first.. think/predict them.. learn from them.. do anything/everything thats acheivable possible.. but by biggest amount.. work HARDD. and I mean hard.. write it down if you have to.. you want to learn the most you possibly can from a game.. its all about growth mindset.. but rather a competitive growth mindset.. think how someone else thinks and then think to counter them.. if you haven't worked hard then its gonna be difficult to beat them.. or know youve worked hard.. you need to have learned the most by end of the day.. and repeat day in/day out.. Consider Easy Way out, often is best way to winning.. which means using op characters/meta.. im sorry but its meta for a reason.. and likelihood is people will abuse those characters to be on top.. so you must do the same.. otherwise theyll go up 10x/10 fold that you will with your less than meta character/dwindling guy.. end up prodigies to your diminishing playstyle..often best strategy there is, is a PERSONAL counter strategy.. and that means a opponent-specific strategy of using characters they also use.. youve got to get personal.. in figurative way of course.. and forget about all those people who say its just game.. its not just a game.. or say how you spend too many hours on game, its hard work.. and its your leisure time and only you own that.. if you don't game then the people above you are gonna be higher thanyou ever where.. like yes it is only a game.. but a you really gonna let it slip?? and enjoy your roast turkey afterwards? youve got to get mean.. and take life by straps of its shoulders.. and toss it.. play like you mean it.. get your head into the game mindset/game of chess.. and consider that sometimes easier methods of winning are best.. its shit. its annoying but it works.. and if you want to beat those players then you have to cheat just like they do..
if only matchmaking gave me that 4% challenge

These conditions are basically impossible to recreate on purpose, and they don't really function for me. Personally, when I first start playing, before warming up, I absolutely destroy my matches on any game. I get sloppy the longer I play, regardless of the challenge.

Meditation helps in silencing the unnecessary conscious inner chatter in your brain, therefore makes it easier to achieve the flow state. If i were you I'd give it a try.

The thing about the flow is that you cannot get it on a constant base. Sometimes you get it but most of the time your brain and thoughts prevent you from getting there.
Dizzy Krissi ya thats true because there is always gona be a diffrence in challenge because it will either be too high or too low so you have to find that perfect game.

Stray Cursor, you're just addicted lmao
gaming a lot isn't addiction. not being able to be without a game is addiction.
Dude that is ADDICTION
:) The flow is when you are acting without thinking, cos your conscious mind is the one blocking the all knowing subconscious, which is a super computer through which we and everything are connected. When you dumping all the garbage of the memory knowledge and let yourself be guided only by your inner being you are becoming again one with everything and you are in that flow.

You also deserve 4856% more subs tbh
So basically you need to push your skill level 4% over it's limit and then you'll be pro in 100 days but that's where the problem is. It's not that easy to push yourself over your limit everyday, everyone has a bad day and if you have a bad day some people get less motivation by that so just remember: You can do it, push yourself even further and failure isn't bad it's there to help you improve!
The exponential thing this is honestly mental masturbation bullshit. The more you improve, generally it will get more difficult to reach the next level. three reasons i can think. 1) plateaus 2) bad habits - these take extra time and sometimes time NOT playing to break. the more youve been training, the harder I find it to isolate the action in your mind as you do them to try and stop doing them 3) the inherent skills that youre training become more complex, both mentally and physically.
The idea that trying to improve a small percent each day is really good, and it will add up overtime. But it's nothing novel, and its naive to assume you can consistently compound a certain percentage a day.

You know what's funny? My Chinese teacher has described flow to me and my classmates. She said: "When you are in the flow, you are so focused that you can't stop learning. This is the fastest way to learn."
Fun fact: Did you know that when you are in the flow, you can't hear any sounds around you except for what you are focused on? Sometimes you even become blind, you can't see anything around you while you are doing the task- and you don't notice it.
MMM I used to feel this while reading a lot
We call that hyperfocus. A symptom of ADHD.
You can get into the flow state by doing or thinking about math problems.

I studied flow at university...I'm a personal trainer and an osteopath, just wanted to share a couple of things:
1.- flow IS real but the 1st thing is perceived ability vs perceived challenge...that's a lot. I need to train to be able to understand my ability and I need mental tools to perceive the challenge in the right way.
2.- it's not that easy, you just have 1 Michael Jordan in 100 years or more, even if you can enter flow during every game your ability is partially depending from your genetics...at least 20%
3.- even with a good genetic and the ability to enter in flow state remember that champions train every single day even twice a day, they live and eat well...hours of sleep/type of food is what you need to be efficient 'cuz of you don't sleep or you eat junky food your body won't have the necessary energy to work... in 1 day the nervous system alone uses 300gr. Of glucose to work properly...and in videogame I assume it's a lot more.
4.- i know we're used to see pro gamers as bad and weak nerds but you forgot one big thing in this video..: train hard in the gym! It raises your ability to focus, helps you with stress and gives your brain a better irroration...it should make your reflexes faster too! Obviously there's no study on this topic but I bet that your overall ability will improve because...guess what? Training makes you eat better and sleep better, so we're back at point 3.
If you have any suggestions write just down below and I hope I added something good to your knowledge.
Happy Xmas ☺
This is years after the vid was released, but every time I lose motivation I come back here, probably watched it hundreds if not thousands of times and it worked every time
I got this flow theory when learning foreign languages. I can learn 1 language just for around 3-4 months! It was hard and slow for the first and become easier witg more time and consistency given to learn it. I felt that too in CSGO, I got better aim and spray control by doing consistent training everyday I don't really mind about ranks, skill is what matters with the game. Rank will follow, so just let it flow and enjoy the game.
hi I know it’s been 5 years, but I’m also trying to learn a language, how did you approach your learning?
For languages it depends on the difficulty, for the European languages like German, French, Italian which shares a lot of similar words with English it might be somewhat easier. But, for languages that are written in different alphabets such as Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Arabic it might take at least a year. I'm currently focusing on both Japanese and Korean for intermediate and upper levels. I tend to immerse myself by watching animes, dramas, news and videos to learn new words and get my ear used to the language. Also I set my phone's language to Japanese so that I can read and see the language anywhere I go. And one more thing, taking a challenge by signing up and attending proficiency tests will boost the learning speed faster. Because, by signing up for proficiency tests like JLPT, DaF and TOPIK for example, we can have clear objective and purpose to achieve in which it also affects one's motivation to learn something @@enjioncrack7851
@@black5000001 wow, first of all, thanks for responding, I appreciate you taking your time to come up with your reply, second, I’m learning spanish since I’ve been informed that a lot of European countries use the format, also, I will definitely sign up for the proficiency tests you’ve mentioned since I lack the motivation to continue my lessons and the tests might be the answer to my laziness, lastly, I also want to learn Japanese, but your way of learning Japanese is commendable, actually setting your phone’s language to an alphabet that is entirely different from english is so impressive.

I find I achieve flow by simply just staying calm. Don't panic, don't think too much, and just act on what come naturally. Works for me in all reaction based games. I also find that playing on a high refresh rate monitor and larger, high res monitor allows me to get lost in the game, and achieve flow easier.

That's pretty on point, I've been doing that my whole life, only now I have a word for it "Flow". That's how I got to RB6 plat in a single day, from nothing, but once I achieved plat, I didn't have the goal to go higher, because I didn't care for it, so I stagnated. The key is to fix the right goal for you and aim for it. Once achieved, either choose to go forward, or let go.
Stumbled upon this video by accident. I do play a lot of video games, study on university and learn drawing for future job at the same time. I want to become an animator one day so i need to get better and better at drawing.
Watching this video actually made me understand the process i go through every week when i go to drawing classes. I sit down, start to draw the 2pt. perspective grid, get very upset at my lines (heck, sometimes i get upset even before the classes start actually), start to redraw everything and after a while, 4hrs have passed and i have done quite a lot of work. It is important to actually realize the existence of flow. I actually hope to have more time after writing my thesis, and then learn to use this technique to learn drawing faster. Thanks for the video man!
yep! finally someone who gets the same feeling that I got while gaming at a young age. back then TF2 was new and it was my favourite game! every day I came back from school I used to turn on my pc, turn my lights off and just game with music boosting in my headphones, it was so intense I was even sweating (no joke).
anyways, cool video ! really professional and well done !

This is why in pursuits like sports (non-e) and coding bootcamps, these academy-based systems are so effective. They rarely teach you a special skill that you couldn't have figured out on your own, but the environment of peers and mentors push you keep getting into the right level of challenge.
Before watching this vid I thought I was never be a pro gamer but now I have hope and I’m getting better every day
I love this video, it really makes me feel like gaming is more than what it use to be, its safe to say gaming is a sport and an art.
It's not safe to say at all. Gaming is not a sport - at a high level it's a competitive game just like chess or poker. You don't hear people calling Poker a sport, they call it a Poker tournament.
Doc's World chess is considered a sport lol gg

Doc's World your opinion doesn't really matter on that
Nazo - my opinion is shared by many. Your mind is closed and flawed.
id struggle to increase skill by 4% when skill level doesnt seem easy to quantify. I could measure and try to impove reaction times but thats only one piece of the skill sheet. what sort of things can we measure then increase by 4% in competitive CoD or CSGO? any advice is welcome
eAthlete Labs so basically play especially when you want to stop because you're doing so bad. Usually that just leads me to play worse. Over frustration.
Accuracy, team communication, destroying team one at a time because it's hard to kill two people with one bullet. Entry frag, support, sniping, which is flicking, rifler which is little flick but headshots
Lmao improving your reaction time by 4% is nearly impossible, too.
thanks alot, ive started training myself but now i cant get into the flow when my friends try to talk to me like i loose the flow.

Step Three Challenge and Skilled finally balanced.
So, what if you already have terrible anxiety. Do I have to put more challenges or higher skilled players. Btw I play Rainbow six
Me too, im on platinum since season 4 and i cant be better
Gamer Giu's play t-hunt everyday. 3 minimum before ranked, only go for headshots. then try to speed run them. play some light music in the background to relax you. your aim will get better but look up kixstar for strats. I was gold in season 2, season 3 I was diamond and have been since then. you can do it. goodluck :)
Pops712 wow, it sounds easy, this week i have been playing better, i was doing that, i only put a slower music and i rush i t hunt searching for headshots. This season i have no chance to hit diamond but maybe the next season. (I was playing bad cause i used to play with a friend that is too good and he was always carrying me and carrying the team, now he doesnt play anymore and me and my team we just losing all the matches, now i start to carry, and i play with friends that carry too (but i dont let that they carry me)

I will be graduating from high school in under 4 months and at the age of 16. I set my life up this way because of my passion for league of legends. This sounds like a dumb dream to most but I am high enough rank (high diamond) for it to not be too ridiculous, this passion has also sparked intense self improvement so I can be the best person I can be to achieve this goal. I have historically had on and off feelings of hitting a wall of improvement and this idea of flow might be the cause of that. My situation currently also warrants me being very scared of this as if I can't break these skills walls within the few years I have to train I will be a loser with no job and no marketable skills. I don't understand this concept of balancing skill and boredom as it pertains to league of legends, as unless I buy an account in a skill tier that I am not there is no way for me to play with players that offer more of a challenge, there also is no clear progress nor immediate feedback with really anything you do at a high level of play and often times I find myself needed higher level players to analyze things for me as I don't fully understand some concepts. If you could elaborate more on how to more consistently achieve flow in my circumstance It would mean the world to me. thanks
also sorry for the wall of text/life story, tried to re-write this 3 times and this felt to be the most succinct way.
I don't play league of legends so I'm not sure what the process of the game is, but you're in your rank because you earned your way there like all others near you, some will be better of you in areas of the game and some you will be, it's a mix and match when there's enough nuance in the game, which I'm sure there is. People near your skill level is best for this situation as you're not in over your head.
It's all about how you allow yourself to perceive the situation; if you think it's too hard, it will be harder than it is. If you think it's too easy, it will be harder than it is too. If you're in a balanced situation, and you respect every opponent and their tactical choice, it will be easier to perceive everything as a small challenge.
Most importantly, skill is necessary to achieve flow. It's great you have people analyse what you do, keep doing that and keep finding out information on your own, flow doesn't just bust out crazy mechanics that you don't know how to do, it takes away conscious thought which is slow and judgemental, thus allowing you to achieve the mechanics you are knowledgeable of to a higher, more creative, more consistent level.
Our brain is like a super computer, we live in the world we do today because so many people used their brain to a high level and improved on our society. It can do things we never thought possible, our conscious mind gets in the way of that, by thinking it's not possible. Skill and knowledge is necessary to have the esteem and belief that things are possible at a high level, in turn diminishing doubt.
Which leads on to relaxing, which is the most important part in my opinion. I don't think you need to feel tension in order to be relaxed, but it's easier to know what being relaxed feels like when you feel tension. A good way to relax your muscles is to tense up really tight for 5 seconds and then slowly release. It's the paradox of life, on off, up down, day night, love hate, ying yang. One can not exist or be experienced without the other. When you experience high levels of stress in your life it will be easier to reach a level of relaxation for flow. Whenever you feel like someone has the up on you with anything, or you're challenging yourself with a particular skill and you feel a bit stressed, consciously calm yourself for 5 seconds or however long you feel you need, and then forget about it and play your rhythm.
Once again it's all about perception, you need to believe in a challenge, so try to find one as often as you can. Hope this helps
btw just a tip, find other outlets too. pick up an instrument, do a sport, play poker, go for walks/jog, join a community thing, learn to code, take online courses on things you could be interested in. I'm sure you do but I'm just saying be conscious of it. This isn't just to gain marketable skills, it's to gain life skills and sense of worth that's absolutely necessary for a healthy and productive mind. Feeling like you can game better than before is a great feeling, but when you get a song right on an instrument or you achieve a goal you get the same chemical response in your brain, but the situational variance makes it feel new and internally builds upon your sense of balance and confidence, which is sooo transferable to gaming. and hey now you can code and make a bit of money on the side
thanks for your perspective on this, I love getting a taste of other peoples pool of knowledge. Besides going to school and playing league I'm not doing too much besides learning a language I guess (Vietnamese). I'll make a conscious effort to improve myself in general so I can have the healthiest mind possible when trying to challenge myself. Thanks again
If you're not already doing this, I recommend you start recording your game play and analyze it. Just like pro athletes study film from their last match, you should also be doing that. Also getting another hobby can also significantly help you improve. It will give you something else to look forward to and an alternate avenue to release stress and have fun. For example if you take up painting, improving your motorskills and hand eye in a non gaming setting, learning to appreciate details and 'zen' from a different perspective can absolutely have a carry over effect to your gaming career. Best of luck to you.
You should pursue playing LoL for your University instead. I reached masters at age 17 in League and doing uni/league works out just fine with the scholarship money. It's actually ridiculous to go pro under masters 300 LP because there's not enough spots for LCS. Most if not all pro players get high diamond to challenger within 1-2 years. Also you went vs MEGRIEFoMG yesterday XD hes a friend of mines
This is how to get better at Geometry Dash.
What I do in csgo is to ask for my friends help thata hogher rank and is over all better to boost me and I watch him play after 20 csgp matches I improved faster and play nearly like him but abit worse
I like how this video is like a mental video and being really scientific and trying to help with your mental state, but then you realize its about gaming and most parents hate it when their kids play too many videogames
*TRUE FLOW STATE FROM A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE*
So I have been playing video games for years and have been playing Overwtach for 3 and just got into Masters about 5 months ago. Now every once in a while I would think I got into flow state. I was wrong. There is a big difference between being very focused and being in flow state. Flow state is where your body becomes 1 with your mind. I experienced this for 1 and a half hours. I was playing like normal and then after 1 game that was very intense, I felt something. I realized that towards the last half of the game, I got this feeling of calmness mixed with intense focus, crazy good decision making (waaaaay better than normal), multitasking, and I just felt connected. I realised i was in flow state and got very excited. I used this to my advantage and played about 5 games and won them all. *Now let me explain what it is like because I know that you want to know*
You get very calm
Your heartbeat doesnt go crazy but you can tell it's up.
Your decision making was through the roof (at least for me)
My mechanical skill was crazy good (because of this I played heroes that have snipers and that sort of thing)
You dont get tilted no matter what
Time slows down like craaaaaaazy (I could swear I was playing for like 5 hours even though it was 1 and a half)
All your senses dull out and heighten at the same time. It's hard to explain. It's like your senses only activate when you need them so all the senses I wasnt using, faded.
And overall you just feel like 1, everything is in sync. Its very strange because you feel like you are barely even doing anything, yet you are popping off and going insane. It's like your mind and body kinda just take control and you relax. Now this is the first time I have achieved this in many many years of playing so it is very rare.
i recommend checking this app called "UnderstandingGamers" it shows you different types of gamers and explains why they play the way they do. If you can understand how people play you can improve the way you play.
sargecasey28 key is understand psychology. When u will know how this world works... U will do everything better
Now all I need to do is find enemies 4% better than me every online match I pkay
Hey, can you go a little bit easier on me, I need you to be approximately 4% better than me, thx.
Flow is a very real thing. However, It's difficult if not impossible to achieve states of flow if not in a situation where the brain feels it will "lose". Whether that is life threatening or not doesn't matter. As long as the brain feels that it is threatened. The person in question should be focused on the set goal and commited to achieving it. Flow is most common in people with ADD/ADHD. The thought patterns of those people are different in that their thoughts flow much more freely than others. When they are interested in something... flow comes so very easily. It isn't even hard to attain.
I seem to have ADHD, but i have hardly ever achieved flow in gaming, but i seem to get it in other things instead. I wonder why.....
Hell yeah finially someone gets it i have adhd i first achieved flow naturally during sports made me a natural nowadays i use it in video games
Flow = focusing on what you're doing and practicing.
Thanks a lot Nostradamus.
I sometimes get my flow by practicing at aiming in games and play aim simulators and it really helps me to aim better.
4:30 I swear I'm going to this person in my dreams tonight
lmao
Yo I just say "I will shit on your team" then trash talk after every kill I get. Works very well
woah lol if thats your way to enter flow then i guess LOL. But, you cant get mad if someone kills then trash talks you.
I go flow while watching TH-cam videos i didn't notice it morning already 😂
To be the best takes a learn from mistakes, adopt, and being calm. Getting basic is obvious but yeah that's what Its about
Honestly it's true, it's like when you start playing you need a warmup to get into the flow.
my skill points is probably *over 9000.*
just three of us get this? how?
I'd say its just practice, then flow, but if you suck for atleast 2 years and you arn't having fun; just give up.
Lmao I permanently suck at aiming in fps games and ive been playing them for nearly 6 years now so I should quit
@@scorpion9063 I think the point is, if your not enjoying it, don't force your self to do something at the expense of your own mental health that and wanting to go pro in gaming is prob, not the smartest career plan as opposed to other skill-based options, but if you play fps games to see how high you can climb and your enjoying it and don't want to go pro than by all means keep playing but if your not enjoying it and you constantly hate the game and burst out into a fit of rage throwing your mouse at the wall telling your team to kill themselves than perhaps it would be best to quit as it would be very harmful to your mental health to keep doing that self destructive tendencies are never great
I bet at least half of the people here that play Overwatch criticized about this exact frame 3:23
Dude Wonder I would have but people already saw it
how is master better than top 500
Jep
I was 14 when I experienced flow for the first time. I was playing free for all in Modern Warfare 2. I was on controller but I shot anything that showed itself to me. Went 30 kills 3 deaths, and it happens every now again when I play Apex. Great video, good information.
Basically if you get mad take a 3 minute break and calm down then try again
