    As the tournament progress I think it would be interesting to have "hot streak" players in with the "celebrities". You could show off players continuing to win and have dominating games that way we can learn more about top players that aren't youtubers.
    Also maybe a standings graphic at the end of the list so we can see how the teams are doing week by week

      20+ if it's this style. I like yovoice over. Showing the whole games with 1 of every tier but I would rather have as many games commentated as possible as it's hard to find constant flow of tourney game commentary. So I insta click when I see tourney with voiceover.

    Don't even need to watch the video to say this format is a godsend. For outsiders and passerby to SCL and high level Singles (like myself), this is huge for getting an idea of what's going on/what to look for as the tournament progresses.
    After watching the video, the short breakdowns of games and techs along with the context is so good. The PU breakdown was so concise yet complete, absolutely incredible.

    Please keep these coming! Love these little recaps of interesting games, I’m headed to go find some of these players to watch their other games now, and they always give me interesting ideas for tiers and teams. Great work!
    In terms of feedback, video was too succinct for my liking, I’d have preferred a slightly longer form. Was the Salamance statted weird in game 2 or was it a roll? As someone who doesn’t play little cup, what’s magby doing on the team?
    Again, these are small things, and I liked the video enough to leave a like and a dumb rant. Love your stuff!

  • @CaeliaMillenart
    @CaeliaMillenart 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh wow! It's amazing! And how diverse does it look like! Maybe because I'm clearly not looking at the Pokémon tiers so I don't realize these Pokemon are all menaces on their own, but it's truly satisfying to watch! You did a great job putting together all these moments, and that's coming from someone who didn't think they'd be interested by such videos!

  • @DemoR

    This is awesome. If I had to add anything, I'd want more talk about the personalities and people involved. You were getting into that on the last ones, but it be nice if there was more.
    Maybe also go through the team/individual standings at the beginning or end of the video.
    But still, fantastic work!
