Learn Your Controls

First, become acquainted with your selected game controls and adjust them to your taste.

Get the key bindings and sensitivity settings comfortable and efficient to play.

Practice precision and being consistent in your movements; this will help you to outperform opponents.

Remember, "Practice makes perfect."

My advice is that you get used to the key bindings or change them if you can, and practice offline, since it feels really bad to lose in online games.

We've all been through that phase.

Learn from the Experts

Learn from the game styles of professional gamers by watching streams, videos, and tutorials to understand the core of advanced strategies, tactics, and techniques. I used to watch RadBrad gaming videos. That guy has a lot of humors during gameplay. If you are okay with commentary in video games, then your go-to Youtube channel to enjoy his gameplay and the way he plays is speechless.

Also, observe how they are actually making all the decisions concerning their positioning and resource management to try and understand their success, perhaps to adapt that into your own gameplay.

Generally speaking,

"Exposure is the final inspiration"

Maybe one day, other beginners learn from you;

"Et Voila!"

Practice, Practice, Practice

Whether you are PC gamer or console gamer, practice is a must thing if you wanna be competitive in the world of multiplayer gaming or streaming the games to flex up your skills for making bucks. 

Especially, its painful to adept to switching gaming systems like from PC gamer to console gamer is difficult and requires time to get on your feet too.

Good luck.

As in Call of Duty, Clash of Clans, or any other game, much practice is needed to master those games.

Allocate some time for practicing alone and enhance your skills through drills and scrims to advance your reflexes, aim, and game sense.

The player should pay more attention to the certain aspects that he does wrong, set the measurable objectives, and track progress over time.

Keep Calm Under Pressure

Keep calm and composed in the most intense moments to do at your best.

Work out the ability to be focused by using mindfulness practices: deep breathing, visualization, or positive self-talk.

Do not tilt or become discouraged when things are not going right; stay positive during gaming.

Remember, it is just a game.

Losing or losing a match because of someone's mistake on your team, like in CSGO or PUBG, does not ruin your life.

Just keep telling yourself, it's a game that's meant to relax you, not make your day worse.

Speak Clearly

I know you wanna say, "I speak clearly", but its not you.

Its the microphone that may disrupts your voice into the game for your team to hear you out.

Another problem might be either the low internet connection or your background noise in the room.

Make sure of it and get into the game.

Maybe have your dedicated gaming room if you are planning for streaming games including multiplayer in it for no further disturbance.

Its all about teamwork and fun.

Learn to call out clearly and succinctly, strategies, and shot-calling so you and your teammates can gain an upper hand in winning. Do not be shy, neither be mumbling. Even best microphone cannot hear you out mumbling.

Use voice chats while playing instead of wasting time typing on the keyboard. Keep your microphone close to your mouth too.

Create a friendly and helpful team atmosphere that can improve teamwork and cooperation.

Also avoid internet scammers, hackers, and bullies. Never forget to report them too. I do that everytime.

Keep yourself in a positive environment of this gaming world.

Research Game Mechanics

Understand the mechanics and subtleties in your game of choice, which are highly important for decision-making both strategically and tactically.

Keep yourself updated concerning patch notes, updates, and developer insights to stay ahead with the ever-changing landscape of mechanical balances, shifts in balance, and meta changes.

Adapt strategies and playstyle with each change to maintain a competitive edge.

Never underestimate the power of Youtube beforehand.

Watch Your Positioning

Pay extra attention to positioning and movement while playing, in order to limit exposure to enemy fire and maximize efficiency.

Always keep your focus in 360 degrees around your avatar or character, whatever you name it.

I always stay where I can hear footsteps of players so that I can be aware.

In that case, your Gaming Headphone with 3D sound effect along with noise cancelling feature is your best friend.

Avail yourself of cover, terrain, and line of sight to assist you; do not overextend or risk yourself unnecessarily.

Position yourself tactically in the important parts of the map and take every opportunity to gain an advantage.

Apply Game Sense
