One VALORANT player went from hardstuck Silver to Platinum thanks to an elite YouTube coach

If you started playing VALORANT without previous experience in other FPS titles, you likely know the feeling of being hardstuck at one rank. Thankfully, there are professional coaches across YouTube and Twitch who produce high-quality educational content for new players. One VALORANT player, in particular, recently said he left Silver hell for the first time and leveled up all the way to Platinum Two in just one Act thanks to the guides and advice of Woohoojin.

The player left a message on VALORANT‘s subreddit, thanking Woohoojin for all the advice that helped them to change their mentality toward the game and scrub some bad habits that kept them level-gated for so long. They also revealed what they learned and applied from Woohoojin so that other players can do it as well.

2. How to practice and sharpen your aim in VALORANT: This guide is useful for Gold players or above, according to Woohoojin. It basically teaches players how to train their muscle memory.

The player who made it all the way from Silver to Platinum revealed that they tried “countless” guides and tips from other VALORANT coaches and said nothing but Woohoojin’s tips worked for them.

The player acknowledged, though, that they had to also do their part such as focusing on getting better, noticing the mistakes being committed in every game and working on them, paying attention to comms and relaying good information, and learning how to play specific agents.
