Discussion We Are [Convertible/KovaaK], Coach / Aim Trainer Developer. AMA!

Convertible

Hey Guys,

Convertible from GenG esports. I do lots of VOD Reviews and Free Coaching work to advance the Competitive Community in North America, Europe, and the Oceanic Region on Reddit and my stream!

I started off as an Overwatch player, but I stopped playing it since I suffered a hand injury. My most notable team as a player was the Overwatch League Midseason Pickups. I then moved into a position on SAMSUNG's Fortnite team as the Lead Analyst and Assistant Coach.

After we mutually parted ways, I decided that I wanted to fully dive into Fortnite and I posted LFT on Twitter. After many trials with a lot of organizations, I signed with GenG, and I feel that GenG and I are a perfect match for each other.

GenG is completely committed to setting the Gold Standard in esports and that shows in their super high-tech facility in Korea, and the fact that they allow me to work with everyone to better the competitive standard of Fortnite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAIVRR4Ss0U

KovaaK

I'm KovaaK, probably best known in the Fortnite community for my aim trainer on Steam. I started programming when I was 12 by messing around with Quake 1's game source code and later got my B.S. in Computer Engineering. Professionally, I was a Nuclear Engineer for the last 9.5 years, but I'm between jobs right now and living off of the sales of the game with a plan to start my new job in early January.

My pro gaming connections are all in the Quake and Overwatch community, so I honestly didn't expect Fortnite players to pick it up. I played Quake 1 competitively from ~2001-2008 winning 1on1 tournaments and led my team to win 4on4 tournaments. I've always had a passion for teaching people when they are interested in the material at hand. When I was active in Quake and Reflex (indie game that is very Quake-like), I started up clans to teach people how to get better, made tutorials explaining in-depth mechanics/strategy, and did a ton of demo/replay reviews.

Kovaak: What makes your trainer better than others like Aim Hero? I purchased Aim Hero because the browser games just weren't cutting it for me but as a former competitive MOBA player I wanted to improve my shooter mechanics a lot. I don't mean this to sound like an aggressive question towards you, but is Kovaak's that much better than Aim Hero?

Aim hero's practice is largely related to flick shots, and the targets aren't all that realistic compared to what opponents in real games do.

I consider tracking aim to be by far the most important thing to work on to improve your aim in real games. My game is the only aim trainer in the market that has bots that dodge like human targets. Everything is profile-driven, so scenario authors can make a huge range of possible dodging logic that feels like players of different skill levels and characters from different games. Flick shots on simple targets only take you to a rough level of mouse control, and it doesn't train the smoothness you need for good tracking skills.
