Part 17
Drills, cheat sheets and problems
The practical part of Academy: drills to train one thing at a time, cheat sheets to keep at hand and a list of common problems with their causes.
Reading a guide is not enough to improve: you have to bring what you read into your matches. This part exists for that.
The drills give you a concrete way to train one thing at a time: the minimap, your crosshair, sound, decisions, utility, communication, movement, reviewing matches. Each one has a goal, a way to do it and a way to tell whether it works.
The cheat sheets gather the words, the situations, the economy and the habits in a few pages: print them or keep them open between matches.
The problems start from what you feel ("I die in the first ten seconds", "I never have money") and lead you to the most common causes and the chapters to read.
The three chapters in this part explain how to use these tools without wasting time.
Chapters
Training with drills
A drill trains one thing only, with a clear goal and a way to tell whether it works. Pick the one tied to your limit, do it for a few weeks and bring it into your matches.
The cheat sheets
Cheat sheets gather what you need to remember in a few lines: the words, the situations, the economy, the habits, and the checklists to review before each phase of the round. You read them between matches, not during.
From problem to cause
What you feel ("I lose duels", "I never have money") is a symptom. The problems list leads you to the most common causes; a simple method helps you find yours and test it.
