what's your pre game routine?
Any specific warm ups you like to do in and/or out of game? Stretches, food, music, workouts?
Review strats, lines ups?

go in cold??

sound off and discuss!

shower

1 run through the parkour in the range
sheriff in the practice range standing in the middle of the bots just to warm up the wrist
vandal vs 100 bots from the side
1 DM

then Queue

get on
queue
get an afk and a thrower
close my laptop
my internet goes out

i go in raw.

drop 10 kills.

then close the game 🔥

Usually just 1 or 2 DM. But overall I don't play ranked unless I feel good and relaxed. I never know what game I will be playing that day just go with the feeling. So I usually want to eat, take shower in morning like all basic things that I would do even outside of gaming. I might quickly check some of my saved lineups just before game starts.

go to the toilet, warm up my hand with hot water, aimlab, range shooting onetaps in the middle of the bots, trying to flick very accurate (slow in the beginning, then faster), few dm's, queue 5-7 games, ez

I too try and do a mental check before I queue for comp. I realized if I’m feeling irritable or didn’t eat great that day, I tend to not have the best mindset or focus

get on
see if i can control my mouse
queue

ahh. I used to be like this, thinking that some pregame ritual and doing warm ups would actually impact my ranked matches, when I realize that it's just a coin flip between having good teammates or not I stop doing warmups entirely and just queue up lmao

I try not to spend too much time warming up, but I’m def not a special breed that can go in cold haha. I usually need to shoot some bots and one or two DMs, but I’m wondering if that’s actually helping me or if it’s just going through the motions for my mental

1. Open VALORANT
2. Queue comp

is aimlabs really the truth? I always found aim trainers tough to use because its a different engine and feel than the game Im warming up for

do you find you play better on your off days from the gym?

yes but in the long run, i could fully focus on a longer time span. Usually i could fully focus 2-3 games at max but rn i could play 4-5 games before i burnout.

and i've read a journal that the more musle you've on your arm/hand the better your control will be which probably helps with your aim.

It helps for me. Note that AimLab highly focuses on raw aim and precision. But in valorant this is like 30% of the aim you actually use. Being mobile and being precise enough is deadly. Movement and Gun Control (Bursting Tapping) is extremely important too. Thats why I do deathmatches after AimLab

I think its better than doing pre game and get your hand tired.
