Kirill talks about hitting Predator solo

Kirill "9impulse" Kostiv achieved Predator rank solo. It took him 10 days.

9impulse streamed the challenge . Kirill often played Wraith but also used Pathfinder and Bangalore.

Given this interesting achievement, we've asked 9impulse about the peculiarities of solo play.

You've decided to rank up to Predator solo. What inspired you to do this?

First, it was our beloved chat, and wish to make some content for the stream. And in general, it was interesting to test myself!

What are the positive aspects of the challenge you can note in the end? Perhaps you began to look at some game moments differently, playing without your teammates?

The most positive thing is that I did it. The most negative is that I still played without my teammates...

You have already reached this rank before. Comparing this time and the last, when was it easier to hit Predator? Many professional players these days were taking part in the GLL qualification.

It was easier the last time, as I played with the team, but this time I started it when everyone was busy with the qualifiers. Because of this, there were fewer professional players, although there aren't many of them anyway... So not sure, but overall it was not so difficult. It took me 10 days (taking into account I've been sick for 3 days so I couldn't play), but I do not have accurate statistics.

What problems did you most often encounter during the challenge?

I played using the nickname “69lovefortnite69”, and this was the biggest mistake: they could often call me names at the beginning of the game or not help me if I got knocked down, saying "change your name, fool". Once they almost brought me to tears, but my chat supported me...

Communication is one of the important aspects of the game. Did you coordinate the actions of your squad or did you try to control your own game exclusively?

At first I tried to control the whole team, but when I realized that it was useless, I began to try to control my nerves.

Any ideas for a new challenge?
