The Radiant Blueprint

The whole system in one place. Don't try to fix everything at once — your Progress page points you to the ONE section that's your biggest leak this month. Fix it, then the next.

1 · Fundamentals

  • Crosshair placement — head level always; pre-aim the angle before you cross it; one angle at a time.
  • Counter-strafing — tap the opposite key to stop instantly before you shoot. Moving = inaccurate.
  • Peeking — wide-swing to clear, shoulder-peek to bait, jiggle for info. Use peeker's advantage.
  • Movement — walk near contact, never run into your own shots.

2 · Role mastery

  • Duelist — create space, take the first fight. Die for space/info, never for nothing.
  • Controller — smokes cut the map into winnable fights. Smoke for the plan.
  • Initiator — get info, set up the duelist's entry. Info before contact.
  • Sentinel — anchor, watch flank, hold the round down. Patience is the skill.

3 · Game sense biggest rank-mover past Gold

  • Trading — never enter a fight a teammate can't trade. Untraded deaths lose rounds.
  • Spacing — not stacked, not isolated. One angle each, supporting.
  • Timings & info — read the round from sound, the minimap, missing util. Play off what you know.

4 · Economy

  • Buy as a team — five half-buys beats two fulls and three saves.
  • Know the round: eco / force / full, and why.
  • Save the round, not your pride — a saved rifle wins the next one.

5 · Map playbook

Defaults, attack executes, defense setups, and post-plant spots — per map.

Your coach covers the current map pool live in the weekly group coaching (recordings in Discord). That's where the map-specific setups live, because they change every patch.

6 · The mental game

  • After a bad round: one breath, ask "what's the next correct play." Mute toxic comms instantly.
  • No revenge-peeking. Use the death cam — it's a free mini-review.
  • Stop after 2 straight losses. Tilt-queuing feeds RR away.

7 · The climb plan — use it rank by rank

  • Iron–Silver: Section 1 only — crosshair + counter-strafe.
  • Gold–Plat: add Section 3 (trading, spacing) + play your role's job.
  • Diamond–Asc: Sections 4 + 5 become the difference.
  • Immortal+: Section 6 + consistency — you know it, now do it every game.

VOD Review

Every week, a coach finds the ONE thing holding you back — not a list, the single highest-leverage fix — and hands you the drill to fix it.

Submit a clip

Drop a clip (a round, a death you keep repeating, or a full game) before Thursday to get it in Friday's live group review. You also get one personal review every month.

Submit your VOD →

What you get back

  • The one fix — your biggest leak this week.
  • 2–3 timestamps that prove it.
  • The drill — exactly what to practice (a Blueprint section + the reps to do it).
  • One thing you did well — keep building it.
Group review (Fri) = learn from everyone's clips. Personal review (monthly) = just your game, your one fix, logged on your Progress page.
