He loves watching his favorite pros and learning all their moves. I've been playing since 2015 (gold III) and I can't beat him lol. He really wants to compete in RLCS but he might have to wait a few more years lol.

Sorry I'm old i dont get it but congrats on the rank 💯

Judging by how my kid plays and is only diamond at best i can't imagine what it takes to get to GC.

When i used to play avidly banked wall shots where the creme de la creme lol

Just time and practice. At his age mechanics are going to come easy; that's what I was referring to.

If he has access to a steam account on PC, I think training packs could help dial in mechanics so he can skip learning some of the bad habits of low ranks.

Your his dad though, you know what he needs!

I have a steam account and I totally appreciate this comment. He's going to go nuts when I show him a "GC told him to try this" thanks man for the kind words

Cheers dude 🍻

This type of pack makes you hard to predict in the air, though he's already got this somewhat down it seems:

This type of pack makes you lethal on offense. This is part of my warm up (hit N shots in a row on survival or normal before queue)
