Valorant: fundamentals
Read in order. Finish each lesson with its drill. No guaranteed rank.
Crosshair placement
Walk through a custom map. Keep your crosshair at head height before every corner. Stop before firing. This isolates crosshair placement so you can notice individual decisions rather than judging the entire match. Practise crosshair placement as a repeatable decision, not a guaranteed result. Winning a match does not prove the decision was good. Losing does not prove the opposite. Choose one focus before the session. Observe what you control: preparation, positioning and timing. Start slowly enough to notice mistakes. Write one thing that worked and one correction after each session. Repeat the same drill before increasing difficulty.
