[00:02] and he makes it feel effortless >> damage per round kill per round and he's just acceed to keep his team here in the upper bracket. >> How can any single player have so many dominant performances and more
[00:15] importantly do it with such incredible consistency. Everyone talks about his movement and his incredible aim, but every high caliber player also has insane mechanics. So, if we want to understand what makes a player like
[00:27] Ospus so good and even learn from him, then maybe it's better to look at the coaching hundreds of players to immortal and even radiant, I can promise you that any rank can be learned by focusing on his unseen skills. Starting off, the
[00:41] first small detail that many players overlook is Ospas's opening plays. This is where Opus shines the most, and even better, his opening plays are often simple enough for you to implement directly in your own ranked games. Opas
[00:53] simply relies on a firm understanding of the meta as well as the weaknesses and gaps left in common place such as rushes and executes. Sounds complicated? Well, really is. Here's an example of a meta execute on bind on a site. Clove smokes
[01:09] sight, fade reveals, flies in, and is split from showers and short starts. Opas has seen this execute many times from this exact position. He knows that the ledge gives him just enough elevation to hold the cross to lamps.
[01:23] And of course, his mechanics allow him to play this position because it's not exactly an easy shot to hit. Still, it's the knowledge of the angle and the timing of his getting to this position that allows Aspas to create a new way to
[01:35] find opening kills. This bind opening we just saw might not be a common place in it's not a very common angle. In fact, most players feel safe from heaven in this scenario. Opas knows his position is unexpected and calmly takes his shot.
[01:50] So, enemies not clearing off angles or not being aware of the gaps in their utility is often the kind of weaknesses that pros take advantage of. Now, I grinding ranked games and watching guides can feel pointless and unclear,
[02:04] especially if you're struggling to pinpoint which exact tip directly ranking up. So, if you're feeling lost trying to guess what to work on and you our thousands of students, the Immortal Room program is built exactly for you.

[03:00] aspect you'll notice after watching Aspas for multiple games is his attitude kill me, I don't care. That's the mindset that he has. This clip summarizes how Aspus uses the enemy's predictable utility against them to find
[03:14] openings after missing a freebie right away. Many players would fall off the truck here, but Aspus isn't done. He wants to get the maximum amount of chances for kills as the attackers scale onto the site. This is crucial in the
[03:26] duelist role to give your team winnable retake scenarios. We see that brimstone smoke has landed on top of the truck to block off the heavens off angle which we previously showed. But Aspas sees an opportunity to fake his drop and hide
[03:39] top truck to the attackers. It looks as though he has fallen off the truck after his shot. So they scale up to take as much space as possible before he reaks. But Aspas was waiting in the smoke the whole time for a repak. And this goes
[03:52] against what would be the expected play in this scenario. He's using the meta of how a duelist would usually play this opening combined with the expected brimstone smoke. And this allows him to get a second chance at his opening kill.
[04:04] So, he's really good at predicting the enemy's reaction to a standard duelist play. And of course, these opening plays are just the tip of the iceberg. If you watch his VODs, you'll see all sorts of creative peaks just like the ones I've
[04:16] shown that set him apart from your average Radiant Jet player. And just like Ospas, you too should always be looking to provide your team with a man advantage or at least even numbers before falling back into a retake.
[04:28] Constantly reagressing to get the maximum impact you can before the When you decide to get an operator, you're betting that you can have a the expense of having less of an impact if you're forced into a retake scenario.
[04:43] operator. So this kind of aggressive play style in the early round is key to being a good oper. Now Opus is obviously a great aggressive jet OP player. However, he's not only aggressive but also very efficient in the way he takes
[04:58] also very efficient in the way he takes fights. >> By efficient, I'm talking about the way he uses utility. For example, his dash
[05:10] is used only when it's going to provide him with more impact or value in a that the dash is your most important ability and it should not be wasted. And Aspus gets the most out of his dash in two different ways. First off, he
[05:24] of avoiding a trade. For example, in our previous clip, he did not use it for the first shot because he was able to fall off the truck to escape after the first kill. And secondly, when Aspas activates his dash, he doesn't use it until the
[05:37] last possible second, and he's always looking to get even more shots off. players wouldn't dream of playing this position without popping a dash at some point. However, Asus is confident he can hit the shot and use the drop to evade
[05:52] the trade. And this means that he can use the dash to reagro for a second untradeable opening kill. Therefore, this maximizes his early round impact. And taking these kinds of risks to maximize impact is crucial to becoming a
[06:04] carry player in ranked. And if you want to play like Ospas, you have to get out of your comfort zone. Many of these plays will feel uncomfortable to begin with, and it'll feel overwhelming to not fall back in some of these scenarios or
[06:16] even to reagress the fight. But once you realize how often you're conceding space unnecessarily, it'll become a no-brainer for you to maintain this aggressive play style. Each time that an opponent doesn't take space after you go for your
[06:29] first opening kill, dash away, or take an OP shot. Remember that it may be an opportunity for you to retake your previous position and get even more early round impact. And I would suggest watching your own VOS or self-analyzing
[06:42] yourself with the question, was it possible to get another shot off there? Or did I really have to use my dash? And get more kills after that? This, of course, is a delicate balance, and you
[06:55] advantages unnecessarily. But we must remember that an operator player's impact is unevenly balanced towards the early phase of the round. So if you're finding this difficult, remember we always want to push our capabilities to
[07:08] find even more opportunities for impact as that's what builds us into the best player that we can be. Now the third little thing Aspas does that you don't is adapting. Everyone including pros enjoys having on their team in ranked.
[07:20] And why is that? Because he goes with the flow. Aspas is one of the most adaptable duelist players in the world. And I believe this is the key ingredient to his consistency above all else. If you watch his thoughts, Ospas is rarely
[07:32] hyperactive with his communication. He's just in the background doing his job He's not the player to take over the game communication-wise and give elaborate strats and direction to his team. He listens to his team and avoids
[07:45] intervening, preferring to go with the path of least resistance in terms of the overall plan for the round. And crucially, Aspas's decentralized approach to rank actually lets him teammates play the way they want to
[07:57] play. And Aspus just fits in. His adaptability makes him easy to play with their comfort zone. I think above all else, this is the most important takeaway from those watching this video. Always try to adapt to the situation
[08:10] around you and play to your teammates's comfort rather than trying to force the situation around you to adapt to you. If your team wants to rush a, rush a and do smokes than you're used to, try to make it work first. You must be okay with
[08:24] the flow. And it's also important not to most common executes are often the easiest to get right consistently. Now, while it's clear that Aspus adapts well to playing with his team and ranked,
[08:37] one of the best in the world doesn't come without some innovation. One thing that Aspas and basically any tier one duelist is good at is finding new solutions to old problems. For example, this jet play to retake A on Abyss. I
[08:51] perfect example of a play that just isn't seen very often. It's high risk, sure, but it's a totally new way of breaking the classic crossfire on CT that's used to hold the sight during a post plant. We also see how fast he
[09:05] kill. So, what does this tell us? It tells us that Aspas knew he would get the dash back after one kill and planned to use it after his first kill to get back onto the map. Aspass may have found this play from someone else, sure, but
[09:19] use it well that allows him to have a total advantage in the situation. It's a great example of how map and game knowledge can lead to round plays. And have probably rarely seen this before. So, this shows how staying in tune with
[09:33] the latest developments in ranked and BCT, often leads to these kinds of new solutions to common ranked scenarios. And new plays like these can put you a step ahead of your competition. And this is why it's always worth watching VODs,
[09:45] when you can. But it doesn't always have to be a flashy, high-risk play like this. Always be on the lookout for any new ways of approaching current problems you might be facing. That's it for this video. Thanks for watching.
