Quick tip that helped me become a bit more consistent

I’ve been slumping recently and been losing my mind about why I can’t get back to my average rank. I’ve just been feeling awkward and out of place in games.

So I decided to for the first time do a replay review of myself when I was high ranked to try to find what I did differently then. I immediately noticed that I had much much more momentum through out the match. When comparing it to the my recent replays the difference is very obvious. I’m hitting the brakes more often now and I’m not timing my challenges correctly and the rythm of play is just not there. I found myself always braking extra which killed even more of my momentum and made me slower, leading me to feel awkward and not confident at all.

So my tip is to try to time your challenges and rotations with the play, sync your self with everyone else. Don’t arrive too early to the net waiting to defend, don’t arrive mid too early expecting your team mate to make a play, because then you’ll have to hit the brakes hard. Always keep momentum and try to be supersonic as much as possible, without going over your limit and being out of position.

I hope someone finds this reminder helpful. That’s all.
