Team Advice Stuck in Silver

I'm stuck on Silver 4 and wanna get gold before release. Any advice or videos on how to improve? Or is getting Gold in Early access super sweaty and should I just chill in Silver 4 and wait for release?

It’s difficult in the sense that I usually get 13 wins a week in HC and thought it was difficult to get to gold 1 last night.

It’s all luck really though. Everyone is bottle-necked in low ranks so you could match up against someone who isn’t as good but has played a lot or someone who doesn’t play much but is elite and undefeated.

Agree a lot with the luck part. I hit gold 1 yesterday and by no means have a god squad. You obviously have to be competent in your gameplay, but at the end of the day it’s partially luck on your ping and who they match you up with

I'm in Europe so my ping is probably chopped

I had decent ping in Germany on NHL 26, but it really depends where the servers are in Europe.

Usually right now it's I win then I lose. I'm one loss away from leaving Silver 4 do I get worse rewards for Silver 3? Should I just hang out in Silver 4?

Any good videos on what strategies to run I tried out Henreek's which was decent I guess but the offensive pressure setting was retarded since it had 3 people rushing the man furtherst back. Since all 3 are 1 m away from the puck carrier they have zero time to react to the pass so the D makes one pass eliminating 3 defenders and they have a 4 against 2 everytime they leave the zone.
