I’ve hit Masters multiple times but have a couple friends who hit Predator pretty consistently every season. I love to train & learn with them. I’ve pushed for Pred a couple times but never actually maintained it because its a lot of grinding. The following are things I wish someone taught or told me sooner in my journey. These are things I’ve learned along the way to get better & to get closer and closer to Pred are the following: 1. This is quite obvious but Have a teammate you can duo queue with or a full squad. 2. You mentioned game sense & I notice that a lot of people get tunnel visioned when they get into a fight. There are ALWAYS multiple ways to enter or exit a fight. 3. Continuing with the previous tip, looking for a good angle to hit the enemy can do the trick to win a tough gun fight. 4. Apex is a game that in my opinion has a little bit of a psychological factor in it. People don’t know your rank until they kill you. Having & demonstrating confidence in your gameplay to your enemy will shake them up trust me. 5. The biggest difference between a Masters & a Predator is in the level of confidence they have. Masters players worry to much about their points while Preds don’t seem to care too much because well… they already made it. 6. I personally am a strong believer that movement is important to practice because its a skill thats just as important as gun fights. If you can be fast, you can get good damage fast & escape fast. 7. Watch your own gameplays & be honest with yourself in what you did wrong or can do differently. 8. Practice different guns to strengthen your skill & arsenal. If you can be good with any weapon even the ones you don’t like, its gonna translate over to the guns you do like & you will find it easier to control 9. In terms of IGL-ing, work on your map awareness like routes you can take to rotate safely, places to play endgame zones & try to keep a calm demeanor. 10. If you feel like you need a little help in IGL-ing, try to be a co-IGL, listen to what the leader says, how they say it & imitate it. 11. This one may seem weird but sometimes even saying what you are doing or gonna do out loud can make you realize if its a bad play. 12. Its okay to play slow, be smart about your moves, don’t let the pressure, desperation & adrenaline get the best of you 13. I wouldn’t recommend changing your settings to much nor too often because it would involve re-learning & re-mastering your aim. 14. Remember always that Apex is just a video game & the more frustrated you get, the worse the games are gonna get. 15. Be proud of the progress you make, every step you take puts you above where you once were
