TILT Explained - How To Avoid Tilt - Mentality Required To Climb - Psychology of Improvement

[00:00] hi everyone welcome to another video so

[00:02] today's video is going to be a little

[00:03] different to my usual content this one's

[00:05] going to be a very much a personal video

[00:07] just me and you me in the camera and

[00:09] talking all about tilt now I've had a

[00:12] lot of you guys in the discord or in the

[00:14] YouTube comments talking to me about how

[00:16] do I overcome tilt how do I prevent

[00:18] myself from tilting what should I do if

[00:20] I get tilted or what's going on mentally

[00:23] how can I prepare myself how can i play

[00:25] my best League of Legends now I haven't

[00:28] really shared any of the information

[00:30] that I'm about to share with in this

[00:31] video to anyone else apart from the team

[00:34] that I actually coached for the past

[00:36] three years so you know especially in

[00:38] 2017 2018 2019 I've been learning a lot

[00:41] refining my craft as a coach and really

[00:44] learning a lot about the mental side of

[00:46] League of Legends so this one's going to

[00:47] be quite interesting I'm not sure it's

[00:50] gonna be very I guess Theory oriented

[00:51] but again I'm gonna have a very

[00:53] practical element to it talking about

[00:55] specifics that you guys can implement in

[00:57] your own soloqueue experience but again

[00:59] it's going to be very much just me in

[01:00] the camera talking through a bunch of

[01:02] stuff so if this is a for you you can

[01:03] stop now but again I highly highly

[01:05] recommend taking the time to watch this

[01:08] video and and really conceptualize it

[01:11] and have a think about it in your own

[01:12] time because again it is very dense but

[01:14] trust me it will be worth it now so work

[01:17] the way we're going to do this video is

[01:19] I'm going to talk about a few theory a

[01:20] few underlying concepts that are

[01:22] important to understand then we're going

[01:24] to go into the specifics about tilt and

[01:26] then one give us gonna round it off with

[01:27] a few more a little bit more Theory now

[01:30] so let's talk about firstly one of my

[01:33] favorite concepts with improvement this

[01:36] is all concepts around improvement and

[01:37] preventing tilt now this one is called

[01:39] the player versus victim dilemma now

[01:43] back in the day when I coached I walls I

[01:45] used to talk about this one a lot and I

[01:48] always used to try and get my players to

[01:50] be a player now what is a player verse

[01:52] victim mean now to be a player it means

[01:56] you need to see yourself as a central

[01:58] character as someone who has contributed

[02:01] to shape the current situation they are

[02:03] in and thus affect its future now a

[02:06] player is someone who focuses on all the

[02:09] things that are within their control

[02:10] where as a victim you know they play the

[02:12] victim just like you

[02:13] real life they focus on all the things

[02:15] that are outside they can feel they

[02:16] blame externals they never take

[02:18] responsibility for anything that's

[02:20] happening around them now you can choose

[02:23] to either focus on the things inside

[02:25] your control and be a player or you can

[02:26] choose to focus on the things beyond

[02:28] your control and be a victim now

[02:30] remember if you want to be a part of the

[02:33] solution you need to see yourself as

[02:35] part of the problem and you can't this

[02:38] is literally the crux of improvement in

[02:40] League of Legends and preventing tilt is

[02:42] seeing yourself as a you won't even be

[02:44] able to get to the solution unless you

[02:46] see yourself as part of the problem now

[02:48] remember that all results are a

[02:51] consequence of the interplay between a

[02:53] certain challenge and the ability to

[02:56] respond to it that literally and you can

[02:58] kind of see how that's literally

[03:00] response ability now remember that power

[03:03] is the prize of responsibility and

[03:06] accountability is its price now if you

[03:09] want to be a player and totally

[03:10] responsible it's obviously going to come

[03:12] at a cost and that caught a cost of that

[03:14] price is accountability now it doesn't

[03:17] feel good sometimes to be accountable

[03:18] because every single game you lose and

[03:20] if you have this player mentality you're

[03:22] gonna be like what could I have done

[03:23] better and it's it's very easy to play

[03:25] the victim it's very easy and tempting

[03:28] to just be like you know what I'm gonna

[03:30] blame the result on my bot lane or my

[03:32] jungler or my teammate or my partner

[03:35] whatever it is or even the ranked system

[03:37] riot game for the lack of the poor

[03:40] matchmaking whatever it is it's a lot

[03:42] easier to go down that route now this is

[03:46] something that will take time and until

[03:48] you really embrace this over time and it

[03:50] will take time so I'm gonna be overnight

[03:51] until you feel the power of

[03:54] responsibility and feel the power of

[03:56] accountability and earn it and you and

[04:00] over time it actually manifests in so

[04:03] many different ways and over time if you

[04:05] can really embrace this it will it will

[04:08] have massive results on your mindset and

[04:11] your ability to win games now what are

[04:14] some questions that actually elicit the

[04:17] player response now these are questions

[04:19] that these are the questions that you

[04:21] can just ask yourself players are

[04:23] questions like how did I contribute to

[04:26] this situation so you

[04:27] ask these questions after the or game

[04:29] interviewed how did I contribute to this

[04:31] situation number two

[04:33] Ken could I have thought of a more

[04:35] effective course of action that I could

[04:37] have taken in the game number three

[04:39] could I have made reasonable

[04:41] preparations to reduce the risk or

[04:43] impact of what happened in that game

[04:45] maybe I wasn't focused from level one

[04:48] and maybe I could have prepared mentally

[04:49] by thinking or what is their ability or

[04:52] their likelihood that they will level

[04:53] one invade and lastly what can you learn

[04:56] from this experience now notice how all

[04:58] of these questions are bringing the

[05:01] earnest on you you're not blaming anyone

[05:04] else you're not asking question these

[05:06] questions are all in your control how

[05:08] did I contribute what was a more

[05:10] effective course of action that I could

[05:11] have done or or I could have taken what

[05:14] is you know some of the preparations

[05:15] that I could have done to reduce the

[05:17] risk or impact of what happened in the

[05:19] game what can I learn from this

[05:20] experience it's all me me me which is

[05:22] very empowering you'll notice that this

[05:25] is a common theme when within this video

[05:27] it's all about improving it's all about

[05:29] putting it all on you taking

[05:31] responsibility being accountable for

[05:33] what actually happens in every single

[05:34] game now generally people who get stuck

[05:39] in a specific illu or they get tilted

[05:41] they get into this form of cycle now

[05:44] this can get a little deep so if you

[05:46] need time if you have any questions

[05:47] about this feel free to leave them below

[05:48] in the comments or in my discord now

[05:50] generally a player because when they're

[05:54] tilted or stuck they lack confidence now

[05:56] when they lack confidence this leads to

[05:58] having you know a half-ass attempt or a

[06:01] hesitant attempt at winning a game so

[06:03] playing a game when they're not their

[06:05] best self then that leads to poor

[06:07] results right because you're not going

[06:09] to be playing your best so you're gonna

[06:10] have a poor result of the game that's

[06:12] then gonna lead into having unsatisfying

[06:14] feedback because there's not really much

[06:15] to review in the game because you

[06:17] already know inside of you that you

[06:18] didn't really play your best and then

[06:20] again that reiterates and continues to

[06:22] reduce your confidence now this is a

[06:24] never-ending cycle that it goes around

[06:27] and around and until you are aware of

[06:30] this cycle happening in the background

[06:31] you won't be able to get out of it

[06:34] another very toxic cycle that actually

[06:37] goes on is this one where you have

[06:39] inconsistent gameplay

[06:41] due to a lack of focus or a lack of

[06:43] fundamentals which leads to you blaming

[06:47] external factors whether it's teammates

[06:49] riot games matchmaking your joy partner

[06:52] whatever it is then that leads to tilt

[06:54] that leads to autopilot and then it's a

[06:57] rinse repeat again inconsistent gameplay

[07:00] so this is why again I also try and

[07:02] focus I always try and really really

[07:06] talk about the importance of having mid

[07:09] solid mid fundamentals and taking

[07:11] complete responsibility and every single

[07:13] every single game and coming in

[07:15] completely focused now let's tie this

[07:17] into another interesting concept this is

[07:20] one that I'm really I guess I have a

[07:22] personal attachment to because this was

[07:24] very much me when I was struggling in

[07:26] soloqueue and this one was again a

[07:28] concept that resonated with a lot of pro

[07:30] players as well now I'm gonna quickly

[07:33] step it through and then go back and

[07:35] then go into more detail now generally

[07:37] the overarching principle here is you go

[07:39] from this there's two overarching ways

[07:43] to bring about a confident being and

[07:45] your best self first the first one which

[07:48] is this is not what not to do this is

[07:51] where we go from import having impulses

[07:53] and feelings which lead to a set of

[07:55] behaviors which reiterate a certain

[07:59] identity and then there's the other way

[08:01] around which is you are very clear on an

[08:05] identity which then you can

[08:07] reverse-engineer the behaviors which

[08:09] bring about a certain type of feeling

[08:12] and impulses now let's let's go back a

[08:15] little bit and talk about the first one

[08:16] now let's let's talk about some of the

[08:20] impulses and feelings that most people

[08:22] have while they're tilted or stuck in a

[08:24] specific Ehlo this you know they may

[08:26] have feelings of anger frustration

[08:29] sadness you know all those those mixed

[08:33] emotions of being tilted now if you

[08:35] combine all that and you internalize

[08:38] those in you you act on those impulses

[08:40] and feelings that actually leads to a

[08:43] set of behaviors now what are those

[08:45] behaviors look like that that looks like

[08:47] you know a lack of focus in game auto

[08:50] piloting missing more CS less side Lane

[08:53] awareness worse trades

[08:55] in lane just genuine again playing

[08:58] poorly and losing LP now over time if

[09:02] you continually act on these impulses

[09:04] which reiterate and constantly bring

[09:06] about the same forms of behavior that

[09:08] over time reiterates and forces you to

[09:13] become and identify yourself as that

[09:15] specific type of person so you begin to

[09:18] identify yourself as the type of person

[09:21] who has these sorts of impulses that is

[09:25] just who he is when he plays league and

[09:26] that is the sort of behavior that you

[09:28] identify yourself as so for example you

[09:31] will eventually identify yourself as a

[09:32] player who I just play all the time

[09:34] order on all our autopilot i I just get

[09:37] tilted every single game I don't really

[09:39] care if I miss this because that's just

[09:41] the way I play the game I'm not

[09:43] disciplined I don't have good sideline

[09:45] awareness and over time the mental

[09:47] aspect of this you become and you

[09:49] identify yourself as this sort of player

[09:51] now this is so toxic and so hard to

[09:55] change and it's so common nowadays

[09:57] within within soul EQ specifically and

[10:01] Liga Legends is that we we forget that

[10:04] if we continually go down this cycle we

[10:07] become a very less less confident less

[10:10] focused more autopilot centric version

[10:12] of ourselves now you may ask how can we

[10:15] change this Curtis what do you suggest

[10:18] now we can actually go the other way

[10:20] around we can actually go from identity

[10:23] to behaviour to to impulses which would

[10:25] look something like this where let's

[10:27] let's think about my best self it from

[10:29] my let's use an example like me my best

[10:32] self what is the identity of me of

[10:34] Curtis that I want to bring about in a

[10:35] game well I want to be the most focused

[10:39] the most resilient player the part of

[10:41] the person who doesn't want to miss a

[10:43] single CS I want to be the player who's

[10:45] constantly constantly looking at

[10:47] sidelines constantly being the player

[10:48] taking full and total responsibility for

[10:51] my game right so this is what I want my

[10:54] identity to be but how do I get to that

[10:56] well I need to be aware of the identity

[10:58] I want because then that will dictate my

[11:00] actions in game well that will mean that

[11:02] I won't queue up when I'm not focused

[11:04] it will mean that I will play when I'm

[11:07] very well rested and ready

[11:08] to put my 100% into the game it will

[11:11] mean that I won't flame my teammates and

[11:13] again take a few different deep breaths

[11:15] to be focused within the game and not

[11:17] tilt it will also mean that I'll focus

[11:19] extremely hard on all the detail focus

[11:22] on the map awareness focus on sideline

[11:23] roaming focus on my CS and trading

[11:25] patterns again notice how the behavior

[11:28] is again tying directly into the

[11:30] identity that I want and now as a result

[11:33] if you do these things thought flowing

[11:35] on from that in the feelings or the

[11:37] impulses that are brought about because

[11:38] of that and that's a feeling of you know

[11:42] satisfaction contentment that you won

[11:44] this game and you tried your best and

[11:45] you gave your best shot and you're

[11:46] actually improving you know happiness in

[11:49] elation that you won that gained you

[11:50] expressed your best self so you can see

[11:54] that this is a much more healthy a much

[11:57] more healthy way of you know very much a

[12:02] more healthy way of being and an overall

[12:05] the soloqueue experience so try this out

[12:07] yes it is a little bit a little bit you

[12:09] know lala and stuff and a bit crazy but

[12:11] trust me if you can take the time to

[12:14] think about the form of identity that

[12:16] you want to be who or who do you want to

[12:18] be I don't even know what your name is

[12:20] right now and the other side of the

[12:21] camera right now but whoever's watching

[12:22] this video say to yourself I Curtis I

[12:25] want to identify my I want to identify

[12:28] myself as someone who is untouchable

[12:31] missus gets every single CS take the

[12:34] best trades is also always focused in

[12:36] soloqueue etc and then again you can

[12:38] bring about their behaviors because of

[12:40] that now let's quickly talk now actually

[12:43] let's get into the core reasons that I

[12:45] feel that induce tilt in a player number

[12:48] one they aren't actually aware of how

[12:52] they themselves could have impacted or

[12:55] altered a game so in their mind they

[12:58] feel like they played fine or perfectly

[13:00] in some situations and therefore need to

[13:03] place blame onto all the other people

[13:05] that make that to make themselves feel

[13:07] better about losing that game now this

[13:09] can be fixed by just a lot of the time

[13:12] just by educating them and showing them

[13:14] these are all the ways that you could

[13:16] have played this game better

[13:18] so don't direct your attention and all

[13:20] your energy

[13:21] worrying about your teammates of what

[13:22] they could have done better even if you

[13:24] think in your mind that you've played

[13:26] perfectly or fine I could guarantee you

[13:28] in the first I could watch your void in

[13:30] the first five minutes and literally

[13:31] talk for an hour about all the things

[13:34] you could have done better and I could

[13:36] do the exact same thing about myself

[13:38] even myself at a at a grandmaster

[13:40] challenger level I can break down my

[13:42] first five minutes a lot of the time for

[13:44] an hour and talk about all the things I

[13:45] could've done better now that if they

[13:48] are aware of that then that's gonna

[13:49] prevent them from feeling that the game

[13:52] was out of their control that they they

[13:54] they won't feel the need to to place

[13:57] blame on others within the game now

[13:59] number two this is what a personal

[14:02] favorite of mine and something that I

[14:03] still to this day struggle with is

[14:05] having too high of an expectation of

[14:08] their own game play where it's not based

[14:10] in reality so this leads to hearing

[14:13] things like I deserve to be in platinum

[14:15] but my teammates always feed or I always

[14:19] get trolls

[14:19] now these sorts and all sorts of

[14:23] comments around this sort of thing now

[14:24] it's easy to step back it's it's sorry

[14:27] it's not easy to step back and say you

[14:30] know what maybe I'm actually not that

[14:32] good maybe I'm actually not at the level

[14:34] I think I am because maybe and

[14:37] especially because we can actually

[14:39] regress in skill level very easily maybe

[14:42] you have me number we'll play so much

[14:43] you haven't been able to play in a week

[14:44] or two maybe you've played another game

[14:46] or you've just been really busy at work

[14:47] or school and sometimes it feels really

[14:51] bad to just say you know what I'm just

[14:52] not a platinum mid laner and no one ever

[14:54] does that they always think I am better

[14:56] I am the best I deserve to be there and

[14:59] everyone else is preventing me from

[15:01] getting there now or maybe you just play

[15:04] it on a smurf and got worse now the way

[15:06] to overcome this one is actually just

[15:09] realize that their current of that is

[15:12] not their current level of play and take

[15:14] the eager hit and say you know what

[15:15] maybe I'm just not a platinum mid laner

[15:17] but that's okay because I have all the

[15:19] time in the world to improve it's not a

[15:22] race

[15:22] everyone improves at their own pace but

[15:25] this is actually interesting because it

[15:27] extends to more of a societal problem

[15:29] where even from a young age in school we

[15:32] are always given a pat on the back

[15:34] and given participation medals no one

[15:37] tells us we are bad at something like

[15:40] let's just say for example you're in

[15:41] math class and you don't get a question

[15:43] no one says you didn't understand it

[15:46] because you were too lazy you were too

[15:48] lazy in class and didn't focus or you

[15:49] didn't do your homework everyone else

[15:51] will blame the teacher they will blame

[15:54] the map math being a an incredibly hard

[15:56] topic they will they will say oh no it's

[15:58] just math just isn't your strong point

[16:00] they will always make excuses as to why

[16:03] you didn't get that question and

[16:04] sometimes guys the truth really hurts

[16:07] right it hurts even for me sometimes I

[16:09] have to tell myself Curtis sometimes

[16:11] just not as good as you were but you

[16:13] know what we need to hear the truth

[16:15] because that is what will allow us to

[16:17] focus and direct our attention to where

[16:20] it can be of most used to us and

[16:23] actually build confidence in a really

[16:25] genuine way that is actually will last

[16:27] will stand the test of time rather than

[16:30] you know getting a you know what Curtis

[16:32] pat on the back you're all good you just

[16:35] you know the Blues your teammates fall

[16:37] or you are that good just blame

[16:39] something else you know so that is

[16:41] probably that's actually a massive one

[16:42] for a lot of people now the third one is

[16:45] actually people not understanding that

[16:48] every game isn't winnable even the best

[16:51] players in the world only have like a

[16:53] fifty five percent win ratio or

[16:55] something and there is literally Korean

[16:58] guys is literally Korean Pro players

[17:00] that have negative win rates at the

[17:02] moment to think about that there's a

[17:04] player I believe like Cruz on or

[17:05] something he's like plays for in the one

[17:07] of the teams I don't know if it's in the

[17:08] main league but the second leg and he is

[17:10] an amazing middle in a really good I

[17:12] think he has like a negative win rails

[17:13] is one of those mid laners and it's

[17:15] really common guys so you not every

[17:18] single game is winnable but remember

[17:20] that there's a fine line between

[17:21] understanding this concept and then

[17:24] complacency because people can take this

[17:27] to the extreme and use it as a cover-up

[17:28] for poor performances you know on their

[17:30] own behalf you know so you've got to be

[17:32] a little bit careful and this also ties

[17:34] into players nowadays not having enough

[17:37] patience they lack patience and they

[17:39] think that improvement comes overnight

[17:41] you know it's like remember that

[17:43] improving at League of Legends is

[17:45] extremely hard right there's no quick

[17:48] it's not like you go to the gym one day

[17:50] you lift a bit of iron you pump me to

[17:52] iron you go home you're gonna be jacked

[17:54] you know it's just not gonna be the case

[17:55] there are things that you can do to

[17:57] optimize speed up that process but again

[18:00] there's a lot of hard work and it takes

[18:02] a lot of time right

[18:04] so remember pee and a lot of the time

[18:06] people tilt because they watch one of my

[18:08] videos they watch it once they go into a

[18:11] game and they can't implement it and

[18:13] they're like oh this is so frustrating

[18:14] I'm so bad or whatever it is and they

[18:16] get tilted but no you know how many

[18:19] times how many games I played to figure

[18:22] out that strategy or figure it or play

[18:23] that specific champion

[18:25] I've played like I've played hundreds of

[18:27] games thousands of games Orianna and

[18:29] then some of my best champions you know

[18:30] so it takes time now the fourth one guys

[18:33] this is a really really common one now

[18:36] people play so much when they're not

[18:39] focused

[18:40] remember that League of Legends or

[18:42] climbing in Sala Q anyway or being able

[18:44] to carry a game or influence a game more

[18:46] than you know more than the average

[18:48] person can actually takes a lot of focus

[18:52] and a lot of attention now what happens

[18:55] if you go into a game when you're not

[18:57] focused and actually leads to poorer

[18:58] decision-making which can actually again

[19:00] bring about a loss which then increases

[19:03] the chances of getting flamed by

[19:05] teammates when you know you make you

[19:06] miss play or something which then leads

[19:08] to you becoming angry or frustrated or

[19:11] tilted this person then proceeds to

[19:13] queue up again not even realizing that

[19:16] they're not even playing there but

[19:17] they're at their best self they're not

[19:18] playing at their current level of play

[19:20] and then it just creates the same

[19:22] conditions for to an assist of rinse

[19:24] repeat and then they play all night lose

[19:26] six games in a row and then you go on my

[19:28] disco and say oh I'm so tilted my

[19:31] teammates are so bad but no you just

[19:33] played when you weren't focused okay and

[19:35] not every single time you play it at

[19:38] night maybe you come home from big day

[19:39] at work or a big day at university or

[19:42] school and you know what maybe it's

[19:43] actually not best to climb on your main

[19:45] that night maybe it's best to do

[19:47] something else play another game play on

[19:48] your smurf play a few normals play a few

[19:50] a Rams anything else because climbing is

[19:53] it takes a lot of energy guys now this

[19:58] also if you say maybe you're just not

[20:00] focus for one game maybe

[20:02] you're not really tired but you just

[20:03] you've lacked focus what you can do is

[20:05] what I what I recommend I say this all

[20:07] the time is go through a walk class you

[20:09] know it might be snowing where you are

[20:11] right now but you know walk around the

[20:13] house or something get your boots on and

[20:15] go trudge through the snow go read a

[20:17] book

[20:17] go do some push-ups go to the gym it

[20:20] doesn't matter

[20:21] step away from the desk and get away

[20:23] from the computer and mentally refresh

[20:25] guys and you can't mentally refresh if

[20:27] you're just on the computer sitting

[20:28] there like maybe you should queue up

[20:31] again like that's just a very

[20:33] inefficient way of refreshing now this

[20:36] last one isn't really about tilt but I

[20:38] thought it was awesome to mention is

[20:40] that nowadays I see a constant fear of

[20:44] rent like people call a ranked and

[20:46] anxiety now remember guys that LP is a

[20:50] byproduct of improvement you have to go

[20:53] out there and fail and fail and fail

[20:56] again and then fail some more and then

[20:58] fail and then fail you know many games I

[21:01] lost to get when I actually hit rank one

[21:03] you know how many seasons I was just

[21:05] losing getting flamed and losing a

[21:07] perfect example of Shoshone fire he now

[21:11] is the jungler for Team Liquid Academy I

[21:14] remember when he was in my games when he

[21:16] first got to Diamond and he was

[21:18] originally a gold player the season

[21:21] before and he used to int every game now

[21:24] people used to flame him so hard right

[21:29] because he used he shone used to just

[21:30] push his limits and just die and int and

[21:33] everyone says sure just give up what are

[21:35] you doing stop playing the game stop

[21:36] killing up you're just trash just stop

[21:39] that guy focused and then he failed and

[21:42] then he failed and then he failed he

[21:44] went to Korea got ranked to come back

[21:46] and then failed and failed went to na

[21:48] joined the main team and failed now he's

[21:50] trying again in an academy we are always

[21:53] we just we're always stuck in this

[21:55] fairyland in our mind that we think

[21:57] we're just going to queue up and have a

[21:58] really great League of Legends

[21:59] experience every single time it's just

[22:01] not the case and in terms of improving

[22:04] guys you have to put yourself through

[22:05] the fire to actually improve you've got

[22:08] to push your limits feel the pain have

[22:10] those painful experiences to actually

[22:12] see where you're at and then start from

[22:14] there

[22:15] and is exactly like Jim if you go to the

[22:17] gym and you're lifting really light

[22:20] weights you're not really gonna gain

[22:22] much muscle ie you may improve a little

[22:24] bit you'll get a little bit of

[22:25] cardiovascular fitness whatever but it

[22:28] is the exact same for someone who just

[22:29] plays low elo games all the time or they

[22:31] just play normal games all the time or

[22:32] they're just scared of playing ranked

[22:34] you will not improve this way

[22:36] now lastly there's a few other concepts

[22:39] I quickly want to talk about that I

[22:40] think will be very beneficial for you to

[22:42] understand in terms of tilt now this one

[22:44] was one that was very big when I was and

[22:47] I was that I used a lot for my coaching

[22:50] there's a concept called attention

[22:52] residue now the way the brain works is

[22:56] let's just say you are on your computer

[22:58] and you're on Facebook and you're in

[23:01] queue and then on Facebook a really

[23:03] funny video comes up or a really

[23:05] controversial video or maybe you're a

[23:06] political guy and you know I think about

[23:08] Trump comes up and you get really riled

[23:10] up you get angry and you're just

[23:12] thinking about it but then you're Q's

[23:13] pops and you've already clicked except

[23:14] you're going into trance like you've

[23:16] clicked your champion and then you're

[23:17] still all tapping onto Facebook now

[23:19] you're gonna get into game and the way

[23:22] the brain works is that it won't just as

[23:24] soon as you close that Facebook tab your

[23:27] brain won't just switch off and be like

[23:30] I'm focused it takes time attention

[23:32] residue your mind will still be thinking

[23:34] subconsciously about what you've just

[23:36] watched and the more powerful thing the

[23:40] more powerful or emotional the response

[23:43] was to whatever you've just been doing

[23:44] before playing your mind is gonna be

[23:46] attached to it this is why a lot of the

[23:49] time I actually recommend only consuming

[23:52] League of Legends content or something

[23:54] that is to do with what's going to help

[23:56] you in that next game maybe watching

[23:58] your replay of your last game watching a

[24:00] vote on YouTube of something or watching

[24:02] a guide whatever and then go into a game

[24:04] because those things are going to be

[24:06] very much aligned or similar to what

[24:09] you're gonna be experiencing in that

[24:10] next game but if you're watching some

[24:12] weird vlog or you know you're doing

[24:14] whatever you're a cooking show and then

[24:16] then you go into a game it's gonna be

[24:18] difficult for you to go from switched

[24:20] off

[24:20] to switch on because of this attention

[24:22] residue and maybe I didn't explain it

[24:24] too well but if you have any more

[24:25] questions about this specific topic just

[24:27] let me know now

[24:29] from a tennis coach this is a book from

[24:33] his tennis coach that I got recommended

[24:35] I think it was called the inner game of

[24:36] tennis now this book was really

[24:38] interesting and it spoke oh I spoke a

[24:41] little bit about quieting the mind now

[24:44] he said this he said there's a quote he

[24:46] said the second your mind within a game

[24:49] drifts and starts wondering about

[24:51] whether you're going to win the game or

[24:53] lose the game what he recommends was to

[24:56] gently go back to focusing on your

[24:58] breathing to become present in the

[25:00] moment now in a game if you're tilted or

[25:03] you just died or you got first bloodied

[25:05] you had to boil your flash and you're

[25:07] back in base take if you take a few deep

[25:10] breaths guys take a few deep breaths you

[25:13] know in through the nose and out through

[25:17] the mouth okay now what you do if you

[25:20] focus your attention on your breathing

[25:21] you'll notice that you're not gonna be

[25:23] thinking about winning or losing anymore

[25:24] you're not going to be thinking about

[25:26] what people are thinking about you

[25:27] you're just going to be focused present

[25:30] in the moment ready to perform now this

[25:33] is a very simple thing you guys can try

[25:34] within your own your own games it works

[25:37] better for others more you know suffer

[25:40] for some people more than others but I

[25:43] found it personally to be very useful

[25:45] and I still to this day use it now

[25:48] another interesting example of this

[25:50] something that will kind of reiterate

[25:52] will tie this all together is think

[25:55] about if you if you go think back to a

[25:57] time when you played your best League of

[26:00] Legends right like maybe you play this

[26:02] little amateur tournament or ranked 5s

[26:04] game whatever it was or clash or maybe

[26:07] it was just a solid cue game last week

[26:08] that you played

[26:09] think back to that for a moment now what

[26:13] you'll realize is that you actually

[26:15] can't really remember much about it

[26:17] because this is because you were so

[26:19] present in the moment that you weren't

[26:22] thinking about anyone criticizing your

[26:24] gameplay you weren't thinking about

[26:26] congratulating yourself after you made a

[26:28] really good play within that game you

[26:30] weren't thinking within the game how to

[26:31] do something you weren't thinking how do

[26:33] I hit the skill shot whatever you were

[26:35] just in the moment you weren't thinking

[26:36] what anyone else thought about your game

[26:38] play our mind entered that state where

[26:42] you're just being present in the

[26:43] that's what we need to look to replicate

[26:45] that's what we want to aim to replicate

[26:47] and this is what the breathing exercises

[26:48] can help you do now lastly guys before

[26:51] we round up this video I want to talk

[26:52] you've heard me talk a lot about chaos

[26:55] now and you in within my silas video

[26:59] talked a lot about the concept chaos now

[27:01] it's important to note that there's a

[27:05] limit to how much you can influence the

[27:08] game on can all control a game because

[27:10] you're only one player out of ten within

[27:12] a game it's a team game right you're

[27:13] only one player within ten people now

[27:16] this means that the game is inherently

[27:18] designed to be filled with chaos and

[27:21] disorder this is what makes it fun

[27:23] that's why there's so many different

[27:25] things happening every single game

[27:27] that's why you can play this same map

[27:28] see this play the same champion the same

[27:31] matchup but you will still have a lot of

[27:32] fun because there's so many variables

[27:33] there's so much chaos and disorder now

[27:35] that's why it is absolutely essential to

[27:39] be focused on making the fundamentals

[27:42] like csing map awareness knowing your

[27:45] trading patterns skill shots etc so well

[27:48] that they don't occupy space in your

[27:50] mind it's just muscle memory so that now

[27:53] you're gonna have all the freedom

[27:54] mentally to be able to flow free for

[27:57] adapt overcome chaos that will not if

[28:01] will occur in the game that you're

[28:04] playing and that's just some I'll leave

[28:06] you I'll leave it there just for you to

[28:07] dwell on and there's I know this was a

[28:09] very dense video there's a lot of

[28:10] information again if you have any

[28:13] questions feel free to hit me up I

[28:15] wanted to wanted to do a video like this

[28:17] I'm not even sure if you know how're you

[28:20] even made it through this video if

[28:22] that's the case that's completely fine I

[28:24] thought I would do this video see get

[28:25] some feedback from the community see if

[28:27] you like it if it's interesting that

[28:29] maybe I can do a little bit more like

[28:31] this because I have so much I can talk

[28:32] about about the game on the mental side

[28:34] of things in terms of tilt mentality etc

[28:36] again I just didn't think it was true

[28:38] helpful for the general public but maybe

[28:39] it is alright so let me know thanks for

[28:42] tuning in guys and lastly remember I'm

[28:43] actually picking up my new PC today so

[28:45] I'm super excited so in my next video

[28:48] quality will be much better and remember

[28:50] that there's actually in a giveaway

[28:53] going on at the moment for coaching so

[28:55] feel free to enter that one as

[28:56] that's in the discord Cheers thanks for

[28:59] watching
