How to go pro?

Fortnite
🧠 1. Mindset + Goals
Set a clear goal: e.g. “Qualify for Fortnite FNCS within 1 year” or “Earn $500 from tournaments.”
Treat Fortnite like a sport — schedule, rest, review, and discipline are everything.
Track your progress weekly (aim, builds, placement, cash cups).
🎮 2. Daily Routine (Pro-Level Schedule)
Total: 4–6 hours/day (customize based on school or work)
🕒 Warm-up (45–60 min)
Aim training: Kovaak’s / Aim Lab / Raider’s Aim Trainer map (20 min)
Free build: 15–20 min to loosen up
Edit courses: Raider464 / Flea maps (15–20 min)
🧱 Mechanics Practice (1–2 hr)
1v1 Realistics (focus on timing & piece control)
Box Fights — practice close-range decision-making
Zone Wars — simulate endgame situations
⚔️ Game Practice (2–3 hr)
Solo Arena / Ranked: focus on rotations, timing, positioning
Scrims (join practice servers like Elite Ladder, East Open, or Proving Grounds)
Record gameplay to review later
🧩 VOD Review (30–60 min)
Watch your replays — note how you die and what could’ve changed
Study pros (TaySon, Queasy, Clix, etc.) and compare rotations / builds / awareness

🌍 4. Getting Known / Building a Brand
Create content:
Post short clips on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and X (Twitter).
Focus on clean plays, funny moments, or improvement journeys.
Name branding: Keep your tag consistent (e.g., LessLagg.Jay on all platforms).
Engage in communities: Join Discords (East Opens, Unreal scrims, Twitter spaces).
Stream 2–3x/week — even short streams help build a following.
Collaborate with mid-tier players or editors to get exposure.
🏋️ 5. Off-Game Improvement
Sleep 7–9 hours — aim and reaction depend on it.
Eat healthy & hydrate (especially before tournaments).
Stretch hands/wrists to avoid injury.
Watch sports psychology / mindset videos (helps with tilt & pressure).
📈 6. Long-Term Goals
Hit Champion Division consistently.
Place Top 1000 in Cash Cups → Top 500 → Top 100.
Apply for org trials once you have placements + clips.
Network with coaches, editors, and players to build connections.

Valorant
🎯 1. Mindset & Goals
Define a clear path:
Short-term: reach Immortal/ Radiant
Mid-term: join a tier 3 or tier 2 team
Long-term: compete in VCT qualifiers or collegiate leagues
Focus on consistency, not just one good day.
Record gameplay and note daily improvements — aim, decision-making, utility usage.

🧠 Game Practice (2–3 hr)
Unrated / Ranked / Custom Games

Play smart — quality > quantity
Deathmatch (15–30 min) between ranked sessions to keep warm
Focus on:
Utility timing
Communication clarity
Game awareness (minimap + sound cues)
🎥 VOD Review (45–60 min)
Watch your matches — note every round lost and why
Identify:
Positioning mistakes
Aim duels lost (were you surprised or late?)
Utility wasted or missed opportunities
Watch pros (TenZ, aspas, Derke, yay) and compare their positioning & crosshair discipline
🤝 Team/Comms Practice (1–2 hr)
Join custom 5-stacks, scrims, or Discord community lobbies
Practice calling, trading, and mid-round adjustments

🔥 4. Getting Known / Building a Name
Create content:
Post clutch moments, funny comms, or smart plays on TikTok, X, and YouTube Shorts.
Add captions + quick edits (clean = shareable).
Stream 2–3x/week (even short sessions).
Join Valorant Discords & scrim servers (Premier, T3/T2 groups, Reddit communities).
Network — find consistent teammates, editors, and community managers.
Keep your tag consistent (e.g., LessLagg.VLR or LLG.Jay).
💪 5. Off-Game Work
Sleep: 7–9 hours — focus and aim depend on rest.
Exercise: light cardio + hand stretches (wrist pain prevention).
Hydration & nutrition: low sugar, high protein for better reaction time.
Mental game: learn to reset after losses — use them as data, not setbacks.
