Something that isn’t emphasized enough is what “playing fast” means.

I think people mistake it as holding forward and going as fast as you can, but that just leads to constant death. “Playing fast” means seeing opportunities as soon as they come and acting efficiently (as least deaths as possible)

@turple.bsky.social pointed out the timing of my posts, i didn’t even realize LOL

Something I’ve learned is playing TOO much is definitely a thing. While trying to get top 10, I’ve noticed a winning and healthy mindset is key…otherwise you’ll spiral into a frustrated autopilot that makes you play so much worse

Remember to take breaks and give yourself a breather!

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PAINBRUSHES IN X BATTLE

Gillies @gillies229.bsky.social · 21d

honestly i couldn’t agree more. ever since area cup teams have been winning coolerless, so many new weapons can benefit from haunt. you bring up a great point

2800th win🥳, I love this weapon.

Playing SO much solo helps realize the potential of both your weapon, and teaches you how to flip the game in your favor. While NA matchmaking is frustrating, wanting to be better is always key

The more I play carbon, the more I realize the potential of other abilities such as swim speed and especially haunt.

While ninja squid helps its ability to be seen, other abilities really utilize its capabilities of taking off angles quickly and either grabbing or playing off attention.

Here's my photo album from Riptide 2025! This is the largest album I've ever had and it was a pleasure to be able to photograph Riptide and learn so much from doing it. I'm gonna take notes, improve and step up my game for next time. Hope y'all enjoy the album!
