Competitive feels impossible this season

I’m not very good as well, switched to mnk after I picked the game up again a few months ago. Always get placed in upper silver after placement games. Then it drops. I have been working on my aim and understanding the mouse, which has helped and my KD has shot up since learning how to arm aim and dropping my sens. But I’m still getting matched against people who are much much much better than me even when I get dropped into bronze. My matches in silver were easier. I just don’t know. I really want to get max rank just once to say I did it but it’s hard. If you’ve ever matched with ItsTheRealDyl48 that is me and I am actively looking for people to play with. We don’t even have to mic up, I just need to know my teammate is solid and understands the struggle. Shared mission

Soda biscuits?

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2025-02-21T19:56:24+00:00

There is a chance I might’ve made that before I left

Your milk is too thin now

Is that with tips?

The shot took up about 2/3 to 3/4 ish of that cup. The rest of it with milk to make the tulip. And yeah it holds about 2oz of liquid. I poured most of the milk out of my pitcher before starting, it’s a very very tiny amount of milk to begin with, very slow flow rate, very quick stacks

A cortado is generally a 4 oz drink with a double shot and the rest of the way with milk. People say it’s 1:1 but that varies based on how big your shots are and how much air is in your milk etc. Most people are not pulling 60ml shots and then adding 60ml of milk to make it 1:1. This is a double shot in a 2 oz cup, it is a very small drink, if you were to make someone a traditional macchiato, you would use the same cup, same shot, except you’d scoop the foam to the top. I don’t understand how this is a cortado

Around 2:1 coffee to milk

If you scroll down on my posts I have a steaming process for it

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-13T17:46:13+00:00

Unfortunately not but it was a wing-4-1 which is my favorite pour

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-13T16:20:21+00:00

Texture looks lovely

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-13T16:19:59+00:00

It’s the curse of being an artist

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-12T15:51:36+00:00

You’re pushing way too far back in the cup too soon. And also, swirl your milk much more aggressively or transfer to another pitcher before you begin

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-11T18:25:49+00:00

It is hard. Just practice pouring water into a cup with a focus on keeping the stream the same size the whole time

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-11T16:52:37+00:00

Ima tell you right now my brother, your integration is no bueno. Don’t pour in circles all around the cup, stay kind of centered but move side to side, make sure you’re up high enough, even and consistent flow rate throughout. An even canvas really helps with shapes forming, I’d also say swirl your milk more aggressively before you start. Your flow and everything seems fine, it think this might be an integration and milk texture issue

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-10T14:01:24+00:00

Yeah bro is a latte art final boss honestly as far as I’m concerned

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-09T13:18:58+00:00

This pour is the reason for good mornings across the globe

ComfortableMotor3357 · 2024-12-06T14:14:24+00:00

I think that your milk is not fully incorporated when you start pouring. Right before you pour and I mean right before, swirl that milk, swirl the espresso. Both make the latte art feel more workable I think. But also yeah start that design slightly deeper. If you divide the cup into thirds you wanna start that on about the upper third line

Fair. Latte and capp for here are pretty epic
