This isn't another montage of "impressive shots". Instead, I wanted to show how my skills improved as I progressed from low Bronze to low Grand Champion. For that reason, I 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺 chose clips that stood out as typical and avoided the "1 in 100" goals. I picked not just shots + saves, but also clears, rotation, recovery, and general gameplay. I tried to get an equal mix of good and bad gameplay.

Hours played are approximate (based on Steam time, not the in-game timer). Ranks show the highest rank I'd achieved at that time, not necessarily what my rank was at that moment. For the record, I hit GC in Rumble, but I've since hit it in Hoops and 3's as well.

𝗙𝗔𝗤 WHY DID IT TAKE YOU SO LONG? The in-game timer is wrong. I was ~27 days (~650 hours) on the in-game timer when I hit GC, but my real time (measured by Steam) was ~1750 hours. That's pretty average. IS THIS FAKE? No. There's plenty of evidence: • Aerials aren't worth 10 points anymore • Several Rocket Labs maps were removed from Rumble • The ads shown around the arena walls have changed over time, and can't be faked AFAIK • You can roughly date every clip by looking at everyone's cosmetics It's weird that people think faking these things is more believable than me keeping a folder of clips. WHY DO YOU SUCK? I guess I focused more on positioning and consistency than tricks?

Can we all take a moment to realize the fact that he made it all that way with those camera settings.

A GC that plays with random cars, engine sounds, antennas and toppers. Respect

What do all tiers have in common? Consistent own goals.

Thank you so much! This really helps put my skill level (silver ii) into perspective and reassures that I don’t need to feel any pressure.

Thank you for putting the hours in! It puts it into perspective for me! I’ve been beating myself up for little for staying in bronze for “so long”
