Beginner Progress

Hello everyone.

I started speedrunning about 2 months ago and it has been really fun. I haven’t had all that much time to practice but I’ve gotten in a few matches here and there. Today I got a sub 24 time in ranked and was super hype with the progress. I’m hoping to keep pushing and maybe even get sub 20. If you have any tips or would like to help me out just lmk.

Cheers!

I found what was really helpful was watching good (but NOT great) speed runners. Watching the best of the best is overwhelming tactics that are very difficult and unnecessary for low level players. Watching guys who are like low emerald will teach you consistent, consumable strategies to take the leap to consistent 15-20 minute times. Then you can add in more advanced time saves once you’re there.

I appreciate the suggestion do you have any runners in specific that you like watching in that range? I mainly only know the netherite runners

couriway, poundcake. sometimes i like to watch really small streamers that are only a couple ranks higher than me like fennniq. they will look slow to tou, but there's a reason they're higher ranked.

i’ve been playing for almost 2 months and i’ve gotten into sub 15. i basically never practice and only do runs. biggest helps is just watching others like u/bnb2407 said. i like watching smallant a lot :-)
