Summary of Everything I Learned Over 1000 HOURS Of THE FINALS

This video shares key insights, strategies, and tips gained from over 1000 hours of playing The Finals. It focuses on improving gameplay through sound awareness, spawn knowledge, macro play, aiming, consistency, learning from pros, and team-finding strategies.

Storyline / Context

The content is a personal reflection and guide based on extensive experience in The Finals, aiming to help players improve by understanding game mechanics and adopting effective habits.

Gameplay Highlights & Key Tips

1. Sound Awareness

The game features excellent audio cues that can act like “wall hacks.”
Use headphones to detect enemy positions through sound.
Learn to interpret different sounds to anticipate enemy actions.
Example: Using sound cues to perform team wipes by knowing enemy locations.

2. Spawn Knowledge

Each cash-out point typically has two possible enemy spawn locations.
Memorizing all spawn points for every cash-out is crucial.
Enemies rarely spawn in the middle of the map; focus on the sides.
Holding spawn points after cashing out reduces pressure and controls fights.
Listen for specific sound cues indicating enemy spawn timing.

3. Macro Play vs Micro Play

Micro play: Individual skill with class, weapons, gadgets.
Macro play: Team coordination, positioning, rotations.
Learning macro play is essential for improvement.

4. Aiming Ability

Good aim significantly boosts performance and confidence.
Warm up before playing:
- Spend 10–15 minutes in Kovac’s aim trainer, focusing on specific scenarios like pad tracking and zip line tracking.
- Practice recoil control in the game’s firing range.
Consistent aim training led to a 5x improvement in tracking accuracy over several months.
Consistency in warm-up routines is key to maintaining good aim.

5. Consistency

Regular play alone isn’t enough; consistent warm-up routines improve performance.
Personalized warm-ups (e.g., Kovac aim trainer + practice range + warm-up matches) help maintain a steady skill level.

6. Learning by Watching Pros

Watching highlight clips isn’t as effective as watching scrims or tournaments.
Observe positioning, team communication, rotations, and decision-making.
This method, called observational learning, accelerates understanding of high-level play.

7. Finding a Team

Playing with a team increases chances of ranking up.
Common method: Join The Finals Discord to find teammates.
Recommended alternative: Solo queue ranked matches to find skilled solo players or duos looking for teammates.
Solo queue players tend to have strong mental endurance and skill.
Engage in voice chat, communicate, and build rapport to form teams.
Many friendships and reliable teammates can be found this way.

Mindset Advice

“L” (Loss) stands for Learn, not Lose. “W” (Win) also stands for Learn — winning silently without complacency. Always strive for improvement regardless of match outcomes.
