There are many factors that go into improving one’s ability to play a game well. For example, there’s no getting around the fact that if you want to play a leading eSport such as CS:GO competitively, you must first acquire hardware to play it on, and have access to a low-latency internet connection.

While such material resources are necessary with most games, there’s another crucial component that often blocks people’s progress, and that is in being able to accurately identify where your current skills are lacking, and working to improve them in a targeted and progressive manner.

Like all things, some people have an innate ability to intuit or analyse themselves, whereas others need more support in undertaking this process. But fear not, as this ability can be learned.

While there’s no denying that certain players enjoy a degree of intrinsic talent that sets them apart from us mere mortals, most of us never manage to unlock our latent potential because we don’t know where to begin.

In light of this, we’re going to be taking a look here at some top tips that can be readily applied to any type of game to help you upskill your performance quickly and efficiently.

Learn the Lingo

Specialist disciplines invariably give rise to a unique lexicon of terms that are specific to them. No matter whether it’s molecular biology, or stamp collecting, these specialist languages emerge as a means of capturing and describing specific contexts, methods and approaches unique to their fields.

Naturally, gaming is no different – though through overfamiliarity it can sometimes be easy to forget that not everyone knows what a game’s meta is, or even what popular acronyms like ‘MOBA’ stand for.

More specifically, each game will also have its own unique terms that pertain to the peculiarities of its gameplay and mechanics, and taking some time to learn these has manifold benefits for those looking to improve.

Depending on what the game you’re playing is, this language will be either more, or less, sophisticated. Some long lived titles, such as poker, have given rise to a rich vocabulary of terms to describe every conceivable element of its format, whereas others – such as Fortnite, employ a specialist language more focused around promoting community identity and humour.

Either way developing an understanding of these specialist lingos will enable you to participate in conversations with, and learn from, more skilled and involved players. It will also help you analyse what you’re seeing as you progress, and will help you integrate the nuances of the game you’re playing.

Test Yourself Against Better Players

While there’s an undeniable appeal in playing against opponents below your skill level, doing so too often will force you into developing bad habits, and will stall your progress. Ultimately it’s always preferable to play against matched players through ranked playlists, or against friends and clan members who are more experienced and proficient than you are.

Not only does this process teach you humility and keep you open to learning, but it highlights your shortcomings and weaknesses. If you’re on friendly terms with a superior player, they will be able to analyse where you’re needing to develop and will be able to help you do so.

What’s more, watching replays of matches can help you study your own playstyle more objectively. For example, if you keep dying in a specific area of a map, watching a replay of the game in question may help you identify that you were exposing yourself to a sightline you were previously unaware of.

Likewise, analysing games where you performed better than expected can also yield valuable information about how you’re playing that you can then work into your gameplay going forward.

The key principle at work here is that through playing against opponents that force you to grow and adapt, and maintaining a reflective and humble attitude, you are creating the conditions for continual improvement in your chosen game.
