@@slader6079 I think it's a better visual, and I appreciate the effort of recreating the battle, but the continuity errors make it even harder to match the two visuals as describing the same event (example 6:20 froslass faints twice back to back, 8:30 jolteon switch in was much smoother transition)
I think it wasn't even a prediction, he had the room to lose heracross for some chip and getting rid of the item is reasonably strong. It feels like covering the options more than a prediction
Something I really appreciate about your videos, and you in particular, is you don't trash-talk your opponent. You talk about how good they are, you explain that even the smartest player can make unsuccessful predicts, etc, and this greatly enhances the experience of watching you play these tournaments. Best of luck to you!
@@SharpLCDTVI forget the channel name, but I used to watch a guy whose channel was mainly hilarious weird strategies (often on Anything Goes), and people throwing angry ranting tantrums. The tantrums were funny at first, but after a while I just felt gross watching. He had a... meanness to him. Sometimes he seemed to deliberately provoke people who weren't being toxic. He would aggressively belittle people who weren't doing anything particularly wrong, and might have just been a bit new to the game and competitive scene. And then I learned that a lot of big his tantrum videos were totally staged, and that was the breaking point. I found Freezai's channel around the same time, and kept comparing the two. I decided I vastly preferred his personality. It's incredibly easy to rip a person to shreds, downplay their ability or worth, and provoke them. There's lots of channels like that. It takes strength of personality to treat an opponent with respect whether they played well or poorly, whether you win or lose. I wanna frick'n become Freezai. I still need to work on how well I handle loss and mistakes. :D
@@danielhale1 if it makes you feel better, a lot of those videos of salty people on smogon are extremely fake. Especially if the protagonist is using wacky strats that seem incredibly random. The entire genre is corny tbh.
the post-match discussion about how you planned an entire team is very interesting to listen to, should def keep that up since the most common struggle most people have seems to be teambuilding, and dedicating just a little % of the video going into super details before the actual match makes it much more engaging and easier to understand!
Its a test on meta knowledge. I have a good team in a vaccume for NU but I know nothing about the NU metagame and it isn't great. This is where I struggle with teambuilding as it's a lot of research
I really enjoyed this video for the reasons you mentioned despite having already watched the live commentary for this game on his second channel. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching the latter too but it's great to get some more insight into NU as a format and how it influences teambuilding.
The editing on this video is great! The way you explain the turns mid-match with cut-aways is really skillfully done to feel informative without being disruptive to the battle itself.
This is honestly so much more compact and fun than watching a full game. Like those are fun too but the way you made it short and gave us insight to your thinking is really good enjoyable content
This was great to watch. I watched the battle footage on your other channel and didn’t understand all of the decision making and plans since I’m not a player myself but this video recontextualized it all easily
This was so well done! Brilliant explanation of tournaments & your strategy. Also, I recognize all the effort that went to simulating the moves/match in Scarlet/Violet even though the whole match was really just on Showdown. Well done!
Insane effort you put in this, could have been just the showdown replay but this makes it so much nicer. Also reminds me of the good old DPP/BW days with the post narration lol. Great vid!
Really interesting to see this on Freezai live when I didn't understand the team, and then see it again with all the explanation. Amazing how much theory you can have behind your team.
I saw the replay on your other channel, but the introduction, teambuilding insights, and editing made it worthwhile to watch that game again. Seeing the same game on both channels really highlights the different identities of your channels. Great job at editing and best of luck!
The production quality is insane on this. It's been amazing seeing your content evolve and I'm excited to see what you do going forward. Excellent video and excellent gameplay!
I watched the original video of the Showdown battle but there was so much more content including the educational side about your teambuilding and then your thought process, as well as the in-game visuals; that watching this felt like a brand new experience! This was awesome, looking forward to seeing more of your tourney grind!! 💪
That was awesome, i love seeing tournament content with context. And using the ingame to supplement the showdown is such a great idea! Would love to see more!
You do such a great job of explaining what's going on. I'm a doubles player who found your channel after you began playing doubles tournaments. I played singles gens 5 and 6, but haven't played since, and you make it so easy to come into a video, get an understanding of a meta, and an idea of what high level players are thinking about. Really glad to have found your content!
I love your videos on competitive Pokemon, you show and explain everything so well that's it's easy to understand even as one not as knowledgeable about competitive level play. Definitely hope to see more of your matches in this tournament!
These are really great. I dare say this is the best format for a competitive pokemon vid I've yet seen. You've always been the best at explaining the theory of the game in my opinion, and now we get the luxury of hindsight postcom with high production value. Please, please please! Make a ton of these going forward.
oooh, this was really interesting! It makes me think of a singles version of Wolfey's content. It's one thing to see all of the analyses but actually explaining your teams and then your strategies during an actual battle helps way more with understanding competitive stuff.
the quality of all your videos always astonishes me, but this one in particular was amazing. however you're getting the stat graphics and whoever your doing the mock-battles with. amazing stuff guys
LOVED the weekly tournament summaries from before, cant wait for these. just thought id write that down here cause a lot of times avid viewers dont let the creator know when theyre enjoying the type of content the creator's putting out lol
This seems like such a pain in the butt of a video to make but is super well done and worth it. Kudos to Freezai, the editor and the gameplay simulator!
beautifully planned and played, that was awesome. i do wish the para into full para didnt happen though so we could see the veluza bruxish dynamic play out more but still a great game!
Looking at the screenshot on 0:52 it's actually really amazing Freezai hasn't won a team tournament before. Not only did he make it to the final, he won his match and the teams were tied. So his team probably lost a tiebreaker after he did his job in the most crucial moment.
Using in game to set up visuals of what happens in Showdown is beyond smart, I absolutely love this!
I kinda disagree, it looks confusing using both in game and smogon simulator
@@jacqueshebert6445 using in game makes it abit more interesting tho
Agreed nice touch

Freezing is kwality
The Knock off predict at the end is insane, even if the match was pretty much over.
His knowledge at this game is crazy, i wouldn't even realize bruxish was scarfed lmao
I think it wasn't even a prediction, he had the room to lose heracross for some chip and getting rid of the item is reasonably strong. It feels like covering the options more than a prediction
shhh dont hurt freezai fan boys,they think freezai is the king of competitive@@StrengthOfADragon13
@StrengthOfADragon13 even this is the sign of a good player knowing when to sacrifice to put themselves in a good position
Ngl it was probably safer to trailblaze first, but yh good prediction anyway
Something I really appreciate about your videos, and you in particular, is you don't trash-talk your opponent. You talk about how good they are, you explain that even the smartest player can make unsuccessful predicts, etc, and this greatly enhances the experience of watching you play these tournaments.

I love this aspect of freezai but then I’ll also enjoy blunder absolutely shitting on some random kid on the ladder 😭😭

best of luck man, you definitely deserve a championship with all your hard work. looking forward to the videos about the rest of the season!
I'm rooting for you bro you got this
Play your game
Good luck on winning the championship!
One thing I like about this video is the replays with in scarlet game and in showdown, W video
This was great to watch. I watched the battle footage on your other channel and didn’t understand all of the decision making and plans since I’m not a player myself but this video recontextualized it all easily
the production value on this channel has gotten so good
This was so well done! Brilliant explanation of tournaments & your strategy. Also, I recognize all the effort that went to simulating the moves/match in Scarlet/Violet even though the whole match was really just on Showdown. Well done!

Damn. Props to doing an in-game wifi battle as a secondary means of showing the turns. Incredible work, Freezai 👏
This was really cool. The in game visuals really help illustrate exactly what's happening on showdown!

I really enjoyed the teambuilding part, very interesting and helpful and give good insight for the following games

I see your blending g of formats and how much production effort had been put in, thanks for the awesome content and I hope you continue!
Love how you edited this / explained everything for someone who doesn’t understand the smogon tournament circuit. Awesome video!!
Loved watching on your other channel! The knock off predicting tera ghost was *chef's kiss*. Great plays!
the quality of all your videos always astonishes me, but this one in particular was amazing. however you're getting the stat graphics and whoever your doing the mock-battles with. amazing stuff guys
Wow, so much editing effort. Big respect!
Your editing is really good man, been watching for a while and it’s insane how much it’s grown from 2 years back
Dude the editing / style of this video is crazy good! Great work
It's so much fun to see pokemon like these take the spotlight while also innovating in the meta. Looking forward for more videos!
i havent checked on ur vids for awhile, and im very impressed by ur growth in production quality on all fronts. excellent work freezai ❤
A great way to give context to the raw live footage. Amazing video!!
This video is a huge step up of quality, adding in game footage really helps, keep it up 👍
Nice video! Your editing his gotten really good lately. Looking forward to more content!
This was really well explained and edited - great video! Can’t wait to watch along week by week
Good job ! Great fun to watch your thinking and building process, thanks for sharing.
Hell Yeah! Good luck in the coming weeks I can't wait to see how you kick some ass
I already watched this match, but thoroughly enjoyed watching it a second time with your additional commentary, teambuilding, and in game graphics
Okay this is actually kinda sick-I love hearing the thought processes behind competitive strategies as they're playing out!
I really like this style of video! Your storytelling is amazing
The editing quality is insane, good stuff dude!
Love the team breakdown + explanation. Perfectly matches my understanding as a casual randombats player
Really good explanations, Freezai. Good luck on the tournament!
Ah yes using Lavos vs McMeghan most contreversialy known battle as an example.
You are a king Freezai !
an insanely well put together video. love it, can't wait for more.
i really enjoyed that. good luck on the tournament!
Also the in game scenes and your explanation of the team build were chef's kiss!
FANTASTIC vid bro. I’ve always loved watching trophy tournament replays but this is next level
One of the only pvp videos that REALLY caught my attention, good luck on week 2 keep it up!
LOVED the weekly tournament summaries from before, cant wait for these. just thought id write that down here cause a lot of times avid viewers dont let the creator know when theyre enjoying the type of content the creator's putting out lol
Love these tournament videos!
Big effort put into this video. Good luck in the tournament. Hope you pop off
Love this video. Narration and edits on point. Looking forward to more
That's some clean editing, my boy. Keep up the good work
Loved the analysis part, thanks for the vid!
Yo, this was cool, make more. I enjoy learning about the behind the scenes experience of doing a trophy tournament
Good luck! Hope you can get a trophy! 🏆
This was too much fun to watch haha Anxious for more
Thank you for showing every step and explaining everything. The video was great.
Going into the thought process behind everything was really interesting and a step above other showdown content. Great video
This seems like such a pain in the butt of a video to make but is super well done and worth it. Kudos to Freezai, the editor and the gameplay simulator!
This was a really interesting post commentary video to watch! It's nice to see lower tier mons get a chance to shine in competitive battles!
Gotta say, I don’t know jack shit about NU, but your running commentary made it all really clear!
I really like the “high production” versions of your live tournament videos!! Definitely would be cool to see for future weeks
I literally said out loud, "he's so good" when you predicted that Tera Ghost. Good job, take it home for the fans 👏
i love this tournament coverage! freezai is a great storyteller and seeing the thought process is super fascinating!
Bro that w kills me the fact you have the confidence to go for it with a speech impediment is amazing man I love these vids never stop
Yes to this type of content. Love watching your channel grow Freezai!
Great video. I like the format - informative + narrative
beautifully planned and played, that was awesome. i do wish the para into full para didnt happen though so we could see the veluza bruxish dynamic play out more but still a great game!
Looking at the screenshot on 0:52 it's actually really amazing Freezai hasn't won a team tournament before. Not only did he make it to the final, he won his match and the teams were tied. So his team probably lost a tiebreaker after he did his job in the most crucial moment.
Great video, keep these coming!
Great stuff, can’t wait to see more of this!
Super clear walkthrough and analysis, great prep and play 🎉
So much work, and it pays off, this is your best built video !
This is one of my favorite coverings of a competitive match I've ever seen! More would be great.
Keep 'em coming Freezai! The tournament vids are always a banger
I love the in game visuals along side the showdown game play. Great video really revolutionizing the game with that one!
Great video would definitely watch more!
This was a really cool video! Looking forward to week 2!
Great video, loved the structure
love the unorthodox picks, good luck in your matches!
Can't wait to see your battle next week!
It's nice to see you on the playing side of SCL/SSD again. I did not expect to see you using Froslass Offense in the first week.
Love the in-depth explanation of your team! :D
Plz make more videos about this there is something so fun to see competitive players explaining their torments battle
Looking forward to following you on this journey 🎉
This was so cool!!! Simplified insight on showdown!
Please keep doing this as a weekly series. High level competitive tournaments are great content.
Bro the editing for this video is next level! What a W
Sick vid man! Looking forward to more! Even though I'm a vgc player, this singles content was entertaining
Would be cool to have a Smogon tournament of 1 from each: OU, UU, RU, NU, PU. A vertical tournament instead of a horizontal one.
Imagine you've just made it to the big leagues, it's your first match... and you've gotta fight Freezai
This format is sick. Looking forward to more videos like this
