CAAmazing program <3 I can't say enough good things about this program but I'll try to keep it as short and simple as possible, I've had nothing but positive and rewarding experiences with IRP. Every aspect of my gameplay was elevated from my mechanics to gamesense to my general mentality. The routines and exercises provided to me were tailored to my specific needs and just took my in game performance to another level. The coaches are all patient, kind, passionate, and experienced in this field for work, there is also so much variety to learn from. The entire environment of IRP is very safe and welcoming ranging from the community / your peers to the staff who handle financials. I have never yet had a bad experience while interacting with anyone from this community in my year of being active. The 5 star rating I gave is extremely deserved as my entire perception and understanding of the game is forever changed. Thank you IRP! :)

GBWorth the investment I just finished the 8 week program, having joined for season 17 of IRP. As a lifelong gamer who mostly plays games for fun to unwind, every so often a game comes along that really scratches my competitive itch, and Valorant falls squarely in that category for me. Since I started playing in the fall of 2022, I’ve consistently worked to learn the game and improve, mostly through watching youtube videos and various streamers. I’m probably older than many who go through the program (35), and while I don’t have my sights set on trying to go pro or anything like that, I desperately want to improve with the limited time I have to commit to the game on a weekly basis. Looking back on my 8 week experience, I can confidently say that this program is more than worth the investment for those who are serious about making the commitment. The group of coaches and instructors who make up this program are incredibly professional, and the program is structured to maximize their use of your time. Each week is comprised of classes/lessons, drills, scrims, and 1x1 coaching sessions, which can be used either for server work or VOD review. Each week is well organized so that the content flows cohesively, and the lessons build from one to the next. The best part of all, and probably the biggest hidden value to this program, is that you get lifetime access to the discord server and all of the new content that will come with future seasons (new agent analysis, map analysis, etc.). It is a wonderful community of like minded people who all want to have fun and get better at the game together. I did most of my 1x1 work with evaD, and can’t speak highly enough of him. He’s thoughtful, well prepared, and great at both noticing tendencies as well as explaining the logic behind his recommendations. But honestly, all of the coaches are incredibly well prepared and approachable. If you’re an active participant, you get to meet all of them throughout the various lessons and drills, and they all have their own insights and experiences that make their lessons unique. In short, this course is worth the time and money if you are serious about improving. It is very much a situation where you get what you put into it. If you show up to classes and drills, ask good questions, and most importantly, play both ranked games and DMs, you will improve and you will climb. Going through this program has made me realize how much of a journey this game is, but how important it is to enjoy the journey. There are no overnight shortcuts, if you have to get better you have to put the time in, but also remember why you play the game to begin with. It’s supposed to be fun, there will be ups and downs but it is important to enjoy the journey, and I can confidently say that I’m most looking forward to engaging and growing with this community for as long as I play the game.

CAHelpful coaches, great community, fun games I’ve been in IRP for about a year, and I joined before I was competing for VCT GC. I started in low diamond, and now am consistently playing in ascendant lobbies. The coaches were VERY supportive in providing 1 on 1 feedback that was specific to my personal goals and needs to improve in my matches. They followed up with my progress after VOD reviews and were able to point out areas that needed improvement while also celebrating my wins with me. The community was very supportive and I made great friends where we can discuss about games and other topics as well. Overall really enjoyable experience, and even though I don’t play the game as much, I can always come back to the community and reach out if I needed help with game related questions

CHMy Experience Im Knan, 19 and a Valorant Comp grinder :). My Goal comming into IRP was to understand the game alot better and get to a level, where i should be able to hit Immortal, what i actually did. At the beginning i struggled alot to get a straight line on what i need to work on and how i can Improve on the little things. Randomnoob helped me alot with that and showed me what I can work on in the future to hit my longtime goal (Radiant). The Programm was alot of fun with the open and friendly community, the fun scrims, the very helpfull 1on1s and the live Lessons.

CAThis program has all the tools you need to start improving I joined the program as Ascendant 1, with my current peak Ascendant 3. There are lots of great resources available to help you improve. They really do cover everything! If you're not sure where it is you're struggling, this program is for you. The coaching experience has been instrumental in my development. I liked being able to have 1 on 1 meetings with different coaches to find the best coach to fit my needs. Overall surrounding yourself with like minded individuals and participating in the community is the best way to improve.
