The game has been out for over two years, so naturally players have had time to get better, but on top of that, the player count has been shrinking, leaving the lobbies filled with sweaty players.

這款遊戲已經推出兩年多了，玩家自然有時間來提高自己的水準，但除此之外，玩家人數也在不斷減少，大廳裡到處都是汗流浹背的玩家。

Because let's face it, sweats are sweats for a reason.

因為面對現實吧，汗衫之所以是汗衫是有原因的。

They play a lot, and likely aren't going to stop anytime soon because they love the game.

他們經常玩，而且可能不會很快停止，因為他們熱愛這項運動。

So if you still enjoy playing and want to get more wins or win more gunfights, you're going to have to get better too.

是以，如果你仍然喜歡玩遊戲，並想獲得更多勝利或贏得更多槍戰，你也必須變得更好。

But you might be thinking, how do I do that?

但你可能會想，我該怎麼做呢？

I'm not a streamer, and I don't have eight hours to play every day.

我不是流媒體玩家，也沒有八小時的時間每天玩遊戲。

Am I just doomed to be bad at the game?

難道我註定玩不好遊戲嗎？

Well, over a year and a half ago, I had these same thoughts.

一年半以前，我也有過同樣的想法。

I was losing a ton of gunfights, never seemed to make the right rotation, and I was extremely frustrated with the game.

我在槍戰中輸了很多，似乎從來沒有做出正確的旋轉，我對遊戲感到非常沮喪。

I was a shell of the man who once smiled from ear to ear dropping into the night.

我已經不再是那個曾經笑得合不攏嘴的男人了。

The game was quickly becoming no fun, so desperate and not sure what to do, I considered becoming the unthinkable.

遊戲很快就失去了樂趣，我絕望了，不知道該怎麼辦，於是我考慮做一些不可思議的事情。

If I couldn't win my gunfights or get wins anymore, I would have to fully give in to the darkness.

如果我再也無法在槍戰中獲勝或取得勝利，我將不得不完全屈服於黑暗。

But then I thought, no way am I going to do that.

但我轉念一想，我不可能那麼做。

I'm going to figure this out.

我會想辦法解決的。

So that's what I did.

我就是這麼做的。

I was able to improve from having less than a one KD in March of 2020 to dropping 30 kill games on Rebirth Island.

我的戰績從 2020 年 3 月的不到一局 KD 到重生島的 30 殺。

Even though I had a full-time job, I figured out a way to maximize my improvement in as little time as possible through an effective practice routine.

儘管我有一份全職工作，但我還是想出了一個辦法，通過有效的日常練習，在儘可能短的時間內取得最大的進步。

Practice?

實踐？

We're talking about practice, man.

我們說的是練習

I know, I know.

我知道，我知道。

Practice gets a bad rap because, well, it's boring and honestly can be a waste of time if you aren't practicing the right things.

練習被說得很糟糕，因為它很枯燥，而且說實話，如果你沒有練習正確的東西，就會浪費時間。

But trust me, whether you're a working parent with only 15 minutes a day or a certified demon with eight hours a day to grind, if you follow these four tips, you'll see insane improvement in no time.

但請相信我，無論你是每天只有 15 分鐘的上班族父母，還是每天有 8 個小時可以磨練的合格魔鬼，只要你遵循這四個技巧，你就會在短時間內看到驚人的進步。

So that was a recent high kill game of mine in a really sweaty lobby on Rebirth Island, but let's journey back to where my improvement started.

這就是我最近在 "重生島 "的一個大汗淋漓的大廳裡玩的一場高擊殺遊戲，但讓我們回到我進步的起點。

Welcome to Verdansk, a city of endless adventure.

歡迎來到維但斯克這座充滿無盡冒險的城市。

With over eight square kilometers to explore, we know the memories you make here with your squad will last a lifetime.

這裡有超過八平方公里的土地供您探索，我們知道，您和您的團隊在這裡留下的美好回憶將終生難忘。

Come drop in today.

今天就來吧

It was the height of the pandemic, and like many of you, I was addicted to Warzone.

那是大流行病的高峰期，我和你們中的許多人一樣，沉迷於《戰爭地帶》。

This was my first battle royale game, and there was nothing more sweet in this world than getting a win on that map with the boys.

這是我的第一款大逃殺遊戲，在這個世界上，沒有什麼比和孩子們一起在那張地圖上取得勝利更甜蜜的事了。

But because I was new to this style of game, getting more wins and more kills was really hard.

但是，由於我是第一次接觸這種遊戲風格，要取得更多的勝利和更多的殺敵數真的很難。

So naturally, I turned to YouTube for help, and it was at that point that my world changed.

於是，我自然而然地向 YouTube 求助，就在那時，我的世界改變了。

You see, I knew that there were players better than me, but I didn't realize how much better.

你看，我知道有球員比我強，但我沒有意識到比我強多少。

I started watching pro Warzone players like Huskers and Teep drop more than 30 kills a game.

我開始看像 Huskers 和 Teep 這樣的職業 Warzone 玩家每場比賽擊殺超過 30 人。

I didn't know that being that good was even possible.

我都不知道自己還能做得這麼好。

Their guns just and their aim was impossibly good.

他們的槍法和準頭好得令人難以置信。

I immediately knew that I would do whatever it takes to be that good too.

我立刻意識到，我也會不惜一切代價成為那樣優秀的人。

I found some videos with recommended tips on how to get better, and I got to work.

我找到了一些視頻，上面推薦瞭如何做得更好的技巧，然後我就開始工作了。

I started shooting bots every day, learned how to slide cancel, and wouldn't you know it, I started to get better.

我開始每天射擊機器人，學習如何滑動取消，不知不覺中，我開始變得更好了。

My KD went up a little bit, I started to win gunfights I certainly would have lost in the past, and I was really happy with my progress.

我的 KD 稍有提高，我開始在槍戰中獲勝，這在以前肯定會輸，我對自己的進步非常滿意。

But after a few months and building a new PC, my improvement started to plateau.

但幾個月後，我又買了一臺新電腦，我的進步開始停滯不前。

I would have moments where my aim felt really good, and then the next gunfight I was shooting octagons around my opponents.

有的時候，我覺得自己瞄準得很準，但下一場槍戰，我就會在對手周圍打出八角形。

I had gotten better, but I just wasn't consistent.

我變得更好了，但就是不穩定。

And it took me a while to realize it, but it was the way I was practicing that was holding me back.

我花了一段時間才意識到，是我的練習方式阻礙了我。

I needed to focus on mindful repetition, not mindless repetition.

我需要把注意力集中在有意識的重複上，而不是無意識的重複。

And here's what I did.

我是這麼做的

Instead of mostly shooting bots without a practice plan, I started to spend more time making up drills to practice specific skills.

我開始花更多的時間編排練習，以練習特定的技能，而不是沒有練習計劃地射擊機器人。

For instance, I spent hours shooting different guns into signs and multiplayer maps to practice my recoil control until it was really good.

例如，我花了幾個小時在標誌和多人遊戲地圖上射擊不同的槍支，練習後坐力控制，直到非常熟練為止。

And I spent hours on top of Euphrates Bridge shooting bots to practice the long distance tracking skills that I would need in Verdansk.

我還花了幾個小時在幼發拉底河大橋頂上射擊機器人，練習在凡爾登斯克所需的長距離追蹤技能。

And to practice my movement, I made up different courses to simulate in-game situations.

為了練習我的動作，我編造了不同的課程來模擬遊戲中的情況。

But I didn't train for hours at a time.

但我沒有一次訓練幾個小時。

I just showed up consistently and spent 15 to 30 minutes per day hyper-focused on one or two skills that I really wanted to improve.

我只是堅持不懈，每天花 15 到 30 分鐘，過度專注於我真正想提高的一兩項技能。

And then once I was good at that skill, I moved on to something else.

一旦我熟練掌握了這項技能，我就轉而學習其他技能。

This way of practicing gave me a clear focus and helped me avoid distractions to get the most out of my practice time.

這種練習方式讓我有明確的重點，幫助我避免分心，從而充分利用練習時間。

Because I wasn't just mindlessly shooting bots, I was mindfully repeating practice drills for improvement.

因為我不是在無意識地射擊機器人，而是在有意識地重複練習，以求進步。

Now, I know you might be thinking, how did you know what to practice?

現在，我知道你可能在想，你怎麼知道要練習什麼？

Are you psychic or something?

你是靈媒還是什麼？

Well, I'm glad you asked.

很高興你這麼問。

It was pretty obvious that I needed to work on my aiming, so I started with that first.

很明顯，我需要練習瞄準，所以我首先從瞄準開始。

And as I got better, I actually started recording my gameplays because I thought I was going to start dropping high kill games and hitting sick clips all the time.

隨著我的進步，我真的開始記錄我的遊戲過程，因為我覺得我將會開始放棄高擊殺率的遊戲，並一直打出變態的片段。

Yeah, I was a little ambitious.

是的，我有點野心勃勃。

But my foolishness actually worked out in my favor because when I started to watch back my game footage, I quickly saw that my movement and aiming weren't nearly as good as the top players.

但我的愚蠢實際上對我有利，因為當我開始回看我的比賽錄像時，我很快就發現我的移動和瞄準能力遠不如頂尖選手。

I was a decent player, but I constantly put myself in bad situations and didn't have the gun skill to fight my way out.

我是個不錯的球員，但我經常把自己置於不利境地，而且沒有槍法來擺脫困境。

So I started recording myself every day, and I would watch back my deaths from the previous game as I was queuing into a new game.

於是，我開始每天給自己錄音，在排隊進入新遊戲時，我會回看自己在上一局遊戲中的死亡記錄。

And I would ask myself questions like, could I have made a better rotation?

我會問自己這樣的問題：我能做出更好的輪換嗎？

Did I overcommit to that gunfight?

我在槍戰中投入過多了嗎？

Is my centering as good as Aiden's?

我的中心定位和艾登一樣好嗎？

Oh, are you nuts?

哦，你瘋了嗎？

Okay, I wasn't delusional.

好吧，我沒有妄想。

I knew my gameplay wasn't nearly as good as Aiden's.

我知道我的球技遠不如艾登。

I mean, not even close.

我是說，差遠了。

But by asking myself these questions and comparing myself to really good players, I got better and better myself.

但通過問自己這些問題，並與真正優秀的球員進行比較，我自己變得越來越好。

But why?

但為什麼呢？

Well, it's the same reason athletes watch film to prep for the next game.

這和運動員看錄像為下一場比賽做準備是一個道理。

You can identify patterns of information and store it in your memory, which allows you to respond quickly to different situations in an actual game.

您可以識別資訊的模式並將其存儲在記憶中，這樣就能在實際遊戲中對不同情況做出快速反應。

If we analyze that last death of mine, we can see that I quickly down the first player, get the full, and then immediately get challenged by his teammate and lose the gunfight.

如果我們分析一下我的最後一次死亡，就會發現我很快就擊倒了第一個玩家，拿到了滿級，然後馬上就遭到了他隊友的挑戰，輸掉了槍戰。

Now, if we reflect on what I could have done different, sure, I could have hit more of my shots, but more importantly, I shouldn't have focused on getting my full kill.

現在，如果我們反思一下我本可以做得不同的地方，當然，我本可以打中更多的球，但更重要的是，我不應該把注意力放在全殺上。

Instead, I should have anticipated his teammate pushing me, and I should have pre-aimed the door.

相反，我應該預料到他的隊友會推我，我應該預先瞄準門。

So having reflected on this, I can now create a plan of action to do better in the next game.

是以，在反思之後，我現在可以制定一個行動計劃，以便在下一場比賽中做得更好。

For example, I can practice shooting bots and immediately flick to another target, which helps train my brain to do so when I'm in a match.

例如，我可以練習射擊機器人，然後立即轉向另一個目標，這有助於訓練我在比賽中這樣做的大腦。

Or I can simply jot down a note to remind myself before I start playing every day.

或者，我可以在每天開始演奏之前，簡單地記下一筆，提醒自己。

And over time, by repeating this system or feedback loop is how I develop my game sense.

隨著時間的推移，通過重複這個系統或反饋迴路，我就能培養出自己的遊戲感。

And the great part about it was I mostly did this review during the downtime between matches, so I was also saving myself time.

最棒的是，我主要是在比賽間隙做了這篇評論，所以也節省了自己的時間。

But the only reason I was able to do all of this was because I started recording my gameplay, even though it was kind of by mistake.

但我能做到這一切的唯一原因是，我開始錄製我的遊戲過程，儘管這有點像是誤打誤撞。

We don't, we don't make mistakes.

我們不會，我們不會犯錯。

We have happy accidents.

我們有快樂的意外。

And using these two tips, my skill level exploded over the next few months.

利用這兩個技巧，我的技術水平在接下來的幾個月裡突飛猛進。

I switched to playing Rebirth Island because of the hacking problem on Verdance, and I started to see improvement in every part of my gameplay.

因為 Verdance 上的黑客問題，我改玩了《重生島》。

My aim was feeling consistent, my movement was getting really smooth, and my reaction time was quicker than ever.

我的瞄準感覺越來越穩定，動作越來越流暢，反應速度也比以前更快了。

I was finally feeling confident in my gameplay, and this confidence led to me dropping my first 20 kill game on Rebirth Island.

我終於對自己的遊戲有了信心，這種信心讓我在《重生島》上丟掉了我的第一個 20 殺遊戲。

I can't even begin to describe that feeling.

我甚至無法形容那種感覺。

All the hard work, all the time spent practicing over the past year, it had finally paid off.

過去一年中所有的努力，所有的練習時間，終於得到了回報。

I felt just like the pro players I watched on YouTube, and I knew that nothing could stop me now.

我覺得自己就像我在 YouTube 上看到的職業選手一樣，我知道現在沒有什麼能阻止我了。

But you know, as they say, the good times, they don't last forever.

但你知道，俗話說，好景不長。

Instead of taking a moment to enjoy this accomplishment, I went right back into the matchmaking gauntlet.

我沒有靜下心來享受這一成就，而是馬上又投入到了匹配大戰中。

I had finally gotten a taste of success on Rebirth Island, and I was desperate for even more.

我終於在 "重生島 "上嚐到了成功的滋味，我急切地想要更多。

I thought that it was going to be easier to get more high kill games now that I had proven to myself that I could do it.

我想，既然我已經向自己證明了自己的能力，那麼獲得更多的高擊殺場次就會變得更容易。

But boy was I wrong.

但我錯了。

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months, and no matter what I did, I just couldn't get another 20 kill game, and each day my frustration grew just a little bit more.

幾天變成了幾周，幾周又變成了幾個月，無論我做什麼，我就是無法再打出一場 20 殺的比賽，每天我的挫敗感都在一點點增加。

It just didn't make any sense.

這根本說不通。

I was winning most of my gunfights, and making smart plays, but despite getting really close several times, it was just never enough.

我在大部分槍戰中都取得了勝利，也做出了聰明的戰術，但儘管有幾次非常接近，但總是不夠。

I became so obsessed with this one goal, that eventually my frustration began to completely take over.

我變得如此痴迷於這一個目標，以至於最終我的挫敗感開始完全佔據上風。

None of my deaths were my fault anymore.

我的死亡不再是我的錯。

It had to be the game.

一定是比賽

The servers were too laggy, players camped too much, my lobbies were way too hard.

服務器太慢，玩家紮營太多，我的大廳太難。

I just couldn't do it, and it was driving me insane.

我就是做不到，快把我逼瘋了。

The night is darkest just before the dawn, and I promise you, the dawn is coming.

黎明前的黑夜最黑暗，我向你們保證，黎明即將到來。

I was down, but I wasn't quite yet out.

我倒下了，但還沒有完全退出。

You see, I learned from playing sports at an early age, that it's not always about the final result.

你看，我從小就從體育運動中學到，這並不總是最終的結果。

It's about the journey and the persistence to get better.

這是一段旅程，也是為了更好地堅持下去。

Now I'd be lying if I said I didn't have thoughts of quitting around this time, but I had simply come too far for that.

如果說這時候我沒有想過放棄，那是在撒謊，但我已經走得太遠了。

And after some thought, I realized that it was my frustration that was holding me back.

經過一番思考，我意識到是我的挫敗感阻礙了我。

I had to resubscribe to the 1% improvement mentality.

我不得不重新接受 "進步 1%"的思想。

I simply can't control everything that goes on around me.

我根本無法控制周圍發生的一切。

Some days I'm going to get tough lobbies, and some days it's going to be a camp fest.

有的時候，我會在大廳裡遇到棘手的問題，而有的時候則會是一場狂歡。

But what I can control is my commitment to getting 1% better every week.

但我能控制的是，我承諾每週進步 1%。

There's a reason why arguably the best player in Call of Duty history tweets nearly the same thing out every week.

使命召喚》史上最出色的玩家每週都會在推特上發佈幾乎相同的內容，這是有原因的。

He knows that every day is an opportunity to get just a little bit better.

他知道，每一天都是讓自己變得更好一點的機會。

This was just another small setback.

這只是另一個小挫折。

I was going to figure out how to get more high kill games.

我想知道如何獲得更多的高擊殺遊戲。

So back to the drawing board I went.

於是，我又回到了繪圖板前。

I spent hours watching the top players on Twitch and analyzing my game footage, trying to unlock the secret for more kills.

我花了幾個小時在 Twitch 上觀看頂尖玩家的比賽，分析我的遊戲錄像，試圖解開更多擊殺的祕密。

And slowly a pattern began to emerge.

慢慢地，一種模式開始出現。

I realized that I was passing up on too many opportunities, and the lobbies were dying out before I could reach my goal.

我意識到，我放棄了太多的機會，大堂在我實現目標之前就已經凋零了。

I was playing smart, but way too slow.

我打得很聰明，但太慢了。

To unlock the next level of skill, I had to start pushing teams by myself and learn how to win with the odds stacked against me.

為了提升技能水準，我必須開始獨自推動團隊，並學會如何在困難重重的情況下取得勝利。

Good players can get lucky and get a high kill game every once in a while, but great players create their own luck.

優秀的玩家偶爾也會走運，獲得一場高擊殺率的比賽，但偉大的玩家會自己創造運氣。

So over the next few months, I fully committed to playing more aggressive.

是以，在接下來的幾個月裡，我全身心地投入到更加積極的比賽中。

And it was brutal at first, and I died a lot.

一開始很殘酷，我死了很多人。

It even brought back some of the painful memories of feeling like a complete bot during the early days of Verdansk.

它甚至喚起了我的一些痛苦回憶：在凡爾登斯克的早期，我感覺自己就像一個徹頭徹尾的機器人。

But I stuck with it, and eventually I started to consistently drop high kill games.

但我還是堅持了下來，最終我開始連續在高擊殺率的比賽中取得好成績。

The only way to learn how to push teams was to fully commit and not be afraid to fail.

只有全身心投入，不怕失敗，才能學會如何推動團隊。

I hope these 4 tips help you on your journey to get better, because they certainly changed everything for me.

我希望這 4 個建議能在你的康復之路上幫到你，因為它們確實改變了我的一切。

Thanks, and I'll see you in the next one.

謝謝，我們下次再見。
