RRR - Redkeekee Round Reviews

[Redkeekee]

Hi all,
I wanted to try my hand at video analysis of games and I've decided to start a recurring round review cast the Monday after each round ends, discussing various elements of FFA and examples of them found in the round.  I intend to try to focus mostly on learning than on critiquing and want to pick a specific topic to zero in on each week.  I will include links to the casts in this thread and welcome your feedback on my analysis, please!

RRR official subsection of the FML YouTube Channel can be found here!

Nice wrap-up of games :) Maybe next round spend an extra 10-20 seconds quickly describing what happened with the other 2 players that you did not focus your talk on.

Your pause and description points are good :) Enjoyable reviews etc.

Thanks FD - I agree, and I also would like to get a bit more detailed for future reviews when I have some more time to prepare. I should be able to make sure more players are covered once I've had an idea to think about for a week or two. 

Any ideas on a central topic for next round?  (I know it's hard without seeing the matches ^_^)

[GKrown]

pros/cons of manip'n?
when to/not to manip?

[Ugri2]

rkk does not manip very well, ask maga!

[Persuade]

i disagree,

i think top 5 manippers are


Maga
Seksi
LW
RKK
Ugri

[FML|Mage]

Would take off LW from the list (current one at least, he used to a good bit) 

Not sure who else I'd add though.  I'm somewhat of a candidate to make it, but I don't play very much haha.  I'll think on it.  Maga Seksi top two though, pretty even on it imo.  Both use it ruthlessly some games, and don't use it at all others.

I think the best maniper ever was skyfire_ice , not sure about his FML games in S1 but in bnet he was a good user the private chat feature :D

Quote:

Skyfire_ice (Player 1) to Player 2 : omg player 3 is skyfireice!
Skyfire_ice (Player 1) to Player 3 : omg player 4 is skyfireice!
Skyfire_ice (Player 1) to Player 4 : omg player 2 is skyfireice!

just an example ^^

This is exactly what LW used to do and I find that hilarious.

I remember him PMing everyone saying "peace?" in the first 20 seconds

[Ugri2]

lw barely manips. He asks once for peace than teaches you a lesson for not listening.

rkk tries to manip but rage easily and talks badly to his opponents which is counterproductive

[FML|Mage]

Hmm, that's true.  My list was more by most not best.  Will rethink (also RKK was less Mr. McRagey a few seasons ago =D)

[Slythe]

for manipping u also need someone , who is willed getting manipped w/o backing it up with scout/thinking/ffa-experience/knowledge of the players. As annoying as manipulation sometimes is, the guys , who  trust it too easily are often to blame as much as the ones, who are using it.

from the current league-players iŽd say the following are the guys, who are using manips the most or the most effectively:

Humans7ar
Ugrilainen
Magadansky
DarkFlameMaster
Seksi
Lightweight

have an eye on Svedirko, j33. and FiRel)rAgOn


btw nice feature rkk. maybe sum up the most important things after every game 
( maybe  in a flashy visual way ).
My suggestion for the next round: Maybe look out for key-situations to gain significant advantage or/and things needed to happen/ to do for a turning point, comeback.
