So, what’s the next hypothesis?
We need to come up with one asap, Mathias cannot be surpassed.
Let’s all say that Seer got bribed. Ash is secretly a Mossad agent that has Israeli funding and managed to pay Seer an enormous amount of money so he can continue shooting the moving blobs.
Sounds like a good agenda
SouljahAsh Live Playtest.
He wasn't allowed to touch any hardware or change settings outside of the trainer, and he was never left unattended at the pc. Recording remaining on with screen and handcam for the entire duration.
DM any questions on discord

YAPPING 🤓
The person who used this sports-practice analogy is Aim Lab's co-founder Wayne Mackey, and the analogy is wrong, the 3 point practice is being done using the same ball, shooting the same hoop, in the same court, this is more equivalent to a firing range in the game you play.
The gym analogy aim trainers mains like to use is closer, but this is how I personally see this gym:
A gym with no floor plan, 100,000 machines (scenarios), a 1,000 trainers (coaches) shouting contradicting advice, and the single most popular machine (scenario) is the one most coaches call utterly useless (gridshot, tile frenzy)
I'm NOT saying aim trainers don't work, I believe they do. It’s just that the hardest part by far is to try to find the 1 correct path out of the 1,000 wrong ones.
And the most common response to "Aim training didn't work for me" is something along the lines of "The tool works, and the failures misused it." What result could ever disprove that?
If you improve > the aim trainer worked.
If you don't > you did it wrong. Wrong scenario, wrong difficulty, missing foundations, bad mentality, too much time, too little.
XDDD???
Aim trainers have evolved a lot since 2018, you guys now have your own category on Twitch, tournaments, Esports scene, ranks, and much much more.
There needs to be a clear separation between Radiant Robert and Celestial Christopher, the guy trying to improve in video games and the guy trying to get celestial. Because as of now there isn’t, both of these players are given the same advice, same resources, same guides, same YouTube content, where in reality they need a different path due to having different goals.
Just an example, see attachment below
Who do I as a new player listen to? ProGuides (owned by StateSpace who owns Aim Labs) or Viscose (Voltaic Member, Voltaic is partnered with Aim Labs)
In comparison to lg duels or any other 1v1 duel improvement training method, people seem to be getting better results, and my theory is because the path to improvement is clearer, you don’t need to watch hours upon hours of videos warning you about misuse of the tool.
Both communities are suffering from a knowledge problem, while LG has too little, aim trainers have too much.
And I cannot scientifically prove or promise that LG or ow1v1s will 100% improve you, it’s based on my personal experience and others that I know. At the end of the day it’s survivorship bias, you don’t hear about the failures, only the people who succeed.
There is going to be a long-form video about this exact topic, the full history and how these misconceptions actually formed, more than a single post can explain.
I won't get into this much because I don't enjoy drama anymore, but I do agree with this statement, the double standard here is hard to ignore.
To be clear, I'm not using this Matty situation as a reason to shit on him. I saw those same screenshots a while back and honestly assumed they were fake. I guess the Sini conversation proves otherwise.
Regardless, it's been a long time, and I believe people can change. I think he did, and we have no other reason to believe otherwise.
What I don't understand is why this forgiveness only goes in one direction.
I keep wondering why @x76dotgg gets such an antagonistic and cold reception from parts of the community. I know our history isn't the best. I've said some things in the past I regret and I'm not hiding from that. But I do believe actions speak louder than words, and hope you can look yourself and notice the difference. This isn't really about me anyway, I'm mostly referring to what x76 is now as a community. I can't see anyone pointing at something bad we've done in the past year or so.
And in all fairness Matty, if you are reading this, from the bottom of my heart my emotions wish that this thing gets you fucked, but I know the rational perspective on this entire thing is that you are reformed and a better person. And it's not based on what you did or said 7 years ago, its the fact you are now expecting the very same treatment you denied so many others by witch-hunting.
We recently released a social app that was requested in a tweet by a well known figure. That tweet got a lot of attention and plenty of people seemed to agree that Twitter isn't the best place for content that fits this niche. We put serious work into it. We posted it as a quote tweet of the original, saying "hey it here :D" Two minutes later the original tweet was deleted. If a random person had made the same thing it would probably be shilled by everyone in the com.
It feels like we're legit being silently boycotted, where no amount of good work and efforts to improve individually or collectively changes how people see you.
And I keep asking myself the same question, if this is how the niche works, then what is it exactly? Do people really just blindly follow and nod their head to anything an influential figure says these days?
Maybe some of this is jus tthat x76 doing well is inconvenient for some people. Which is strange, because we're not even sharing the same vision. Aim communities are fun, they just have a different purpose than what we are trying to make.
Regardless, we will keep doing our best to try and provide as much value as we can, and keep innovating and pushing to the best of our capabilities :]
