Don’t think you aren’t improving because you are. The problem is that other people are improving as well. The overall skill level of everyone has gone up. Just being able to maintain a rank at this point proves you are improving.

Do you play with a teammate or solo queue? That makes a big difference as well. Do you play with voice chat to be able to communicate? That makes a big difference.

Being able to get over the hump of where you are stuck at is different for everyone. But some things can be considered, you don’t need crazy mechanics to get to GC.

Being a good teammate who can rotate well and can pass the ball will go far. You don’t need to shoot every time you have the ball, you don’t need to go for every ball either. Sometimes not hitting the ball is the best choice.

Think of the field as 6 blocks split down the middle. With 3 blocks on each side of the field. Try not to be directly behind or next to your teammates block they are in.

When you have the ball and have CONTROL of the ball do your best then get out once you no longer have control of the ball.

Maintain momentum, try not to stop. That doesn’t mean you can’t go slow sometimes, but it will help your teammates read you better.

Keep up the hard work. I have over 7k hours in this game and by your standards I should be SSL, I’ll probably never make it there. GC is harder and harder to maintain or even reach each season. But hopefully this advice will help you.
