OpTic Call of Duty coach TeePee offers advice on how to best become a pro player The Eavesdrop PodcastTeePee has been with OpTic as a coach since December 2017, but has just now sat down with H3CZ to give some insight, among other things, on the most effective way of improving and launching a career as an esport pro. Before retiring, TeePee enjoyed an extremely fruitful career as a CoD pro, winning the 2014 Call of Duty Championship with compLexity before ultimately landing at the helm of Team OpTic. In the latest episode of The Eavesdrop Podcast, TeePee spoke from experience of what players and teams value in a player as well as the best way of landing on a team\u2019s roster. TeePee has seen it all in CoD\u2019s esport scene and said the best way of getting better at the game is refusing to play against stagnate competition while letting oneself lose to improve. \u201cIt\u2019s all about putting yourself in a situation where you\u2019re practicing against people that are better than you,\u201d TeePee said. \u201cYou need to get smacked in the face sometimes to realize how they\u2019re beating you, why they\u2019re beating you.\u201d The former World Champ emphasized that amateurs should be playing the same kind of games that the pros play. That\u2019s not to say the same game title, it means to play in the same type of tournaments, with the same stakes, and the same competitive environment. (Timestamp 31:19 for mobile users) \u201cFind a dedicated squad, start on your GameBattles ladders, and get reps in on the actual game types that the pros play on. And then work your way up on those ladders, start those pay-to-enter tournaments. That\u2019s how you play against better competition,\u201d TeePee said.
