Storyline / Purpose

This video is a short “training philosophy” rant about Kovaaks / aiming practice. It argues that obsessing over scores (PBs/ranks) while repeatedly grinding scenarios can hide what’s actually wrong with your aim.

The creator claims scores can be “meaningless”—for example when runs are broken/glitched or when you’re not truly controlling your inputs. Instead, the video pushes viewers to train by identifying gameplay issues and targeting them with specific scenario variants.

Core Gameplay / Training Highlights

Why score is “meaningless”

  • A single run’s score may not reflect your real skill due to:
    • Glitches or odd run circumstances
    • Runs where you aren’t genuinely “playing” in the intended way
  • Grinding for score can prevent you from noticing what part of your aim mechanics needs fixing.

The approach: “train the problem, not the leaderboard”

  1. Pick a scenario you struggle with.
  2. Watch a top aimer (example mentioned: Matt O) doing that scenario at a high level.
  3. Compare your replay to theirs and decide what’s clearly worse (e.g.,):
    • target entry
    • flick speed
    • staying on target
    • fluidity
  4. Use a relevant VDIM / VDIM playlist (from the video description) and choose the scenario variant that matches your specific weakness.

Strategies / Key Tips

Step 1: Choose one scenario you’re struggling with

  • Don’t jump endlessly between scenarios—pick one.

Step 2: Learn from a high-level player

  • Find your favorite aimer on YouTube.
  • Watch them play the same scenario and compare:
    • where they go first / how directly they hit the target
    • timing and movement patterns
    • consistency and control

Step 3: Pick the right VDIM playlist variant (from the video description)

  • If your problem is flicks / flick speed / fluidity, choose a fast variant.
  • If your problem is staying on target (e.g., “flyts” mentioned), choose a regen / smooth variant.

Step 4: Use variant switching as “focused training”

  • Train with a variant that forces the behavior you want (example: precision).
  • After improvement, switch back to the regular scenario to see how well it carries over.

Step 5: Use regen as a precision “constraint”

  • The regen version is explained as: if you go off target, the target’s health regenerates.
  • The intent is to punish sloppy movement and force more accurate staying on target.

Step 6: Keep your training mentally active

  • The creator suggests mindless repetition fails when you’re distracted (podcasts/daydreaming).
  • Variant switching keeps you actively thinking, e.g.:
    • “What am I doing right now?”
    • “Am I accurate?”
    • “What mistake am I making?”

Mindset: choose what you’ll actually do

  • “Best” training isn’t always “best” for you.
  • The creator compares this to gym programming: a theoretically optimal plan can be miserable, while a slightly less optimal plan you enjoy and can stick with can work better.
  • Encourage experimenting until you find a method that fits.

Example Walkthrough (TTS)

The creator gives a mini demonstration:

  • He shows a run on TTS where his performance is “pretty good.”
  • He compares it to Mattie’s run (implied top-tier comparison).
  • Observations:
    • The main gap is fluidity (movement smoothness from target to target).

Training sequence

  1. He grinds a speed variant of TTS to improve fluidity.
  2. He returns to regular TTS.
  3. New problem after speed training:
    • he notices he’s jumping off target too early.
  4. Fix:
    • he goes back to the VDIM list and chooses the smoothness / regen variant.
  5. He returns to regular TTS to improve precision and make staying on target easier.
