How To Become A Pro Gamer In 2023

The first step to becoming great at anything is to Practice consistently. The more you do anything the better you get at it. The best way to do it is to set aside time and work to improve. During this time you need to break practice into manageable chunks. You can not work at everything at once you need to focus on one thing at a time. It would help if you had a plan for what you will do during each session. Make sure you know when you will work on your technical ability or game knowledge. You could do both but it is easier to focus and improve on one thing. You need feedback too, get someone you trust to look over your gameplay and give you feedback or look over your own gameplay and identify mistakes. Make sure to use training guides, training guides are your best friend when you are looking to improve.

The second step to becoming a professional gamer is to study the game you play. If you are not obsessing over the game you are trying to become a professional at it just will not work. For pro players, the game you play is the game you live and breathe. You also need to watch professional matches, you can easily analyze these matches and pick up on strategies the pro players use and use them yourself. You also need to know every little thing possible, you need to know the millisecond difference between things because those milliseconds could mean you outplaying your opponent. Learn every game mechanic you can, to be a good professional player sometimes you have to break the game. Take Anthony “Shotzzy” Cuevas-Castro he is known to borderline break the game in his favor.

This third step is all about your aim inside the game. You need to spend lots of time perfecting your sensitivity to aim. You can use broken game mechanics to gain the upper hand but if you can not aim well enough to win the gunfight it does not matter. I would suggest picking one that feels natural to you and then sinking a lot of time into the game and becoming comfortable with it. It goes back to step one the more time you put into the game, the better you will become.

The fourth step is to learn callouts and become familiar with the maps. If you do not know the callouts you may as well be going into the game blind. Callouts are the locations of certain locations on the map. Callouts are important so you are not running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Without callouts, you also cannot communicate with your teammates and it will make them extremely angry at you. Callouts are certain positions on the map or for example if a building is green call it green building. Just so everyone is aware “right there” is not a callout.

The fifth step you need to know is the meta. The definition of meta is essentially using the best gun or guns in the game. If everyone is using the MP7 because it is the best gun in the game then you should be using that gun too. Meta does not end in the gun category. There are also meta spots on the maps or even meta strategies teams will use. In many games, the game developers will accidentally create a meta by making a gun or guns too overpowered. The best way to learn the meta is by watching professional players. You can quickly see a pattern of seeing certain guns over and over again. The meta however is ever-changing with one game update the game developers can turn the meta on its head by making the overpowered gun(s) garbage. This is why its important to constantly be studying the game.

The sixth and final step to join a team and get out there and improve. Early in your team’s life cycle, you can not be afraid to get rid of a player if they are not performing up to par with the team. With a team, it is easy to find the weak link if there is one. It is important to know the difference between a weak link and a bad game. It’s important to work on things as a team. At the end of the day competitive is a team game. You can not win the game by yourself no matter how good you are. It’s important for you to give your teammates help and to do things as a team. It is better to do something stupid as a team than to do something smart by yourself.
