Nice! Well played, clean game. Wraith with Armour was a great closing play, decent post match review I wont argue with your reasoning, it's personal preference but might suggest Fire or EMP on the Storms before Range if they're not being challenged by long range units from your opponent yet. Will also suggest considering Giant units when you're ahead to close the game out earlier and avoid running into the Arclights scaling to infinity, versus Carry Arclight I find Fortresses with Barrier very efficient damage sponges to hide Stormcallers behind but Melting Points with EMP Barrage are also a solid choice. Keep it up dude!
I had considered MPs in my mind at the time. There are only so many seconds to talk and think! I find this is a game very difficult for me to articulate every thought.
@@VariableXGaming Yeah you're doing great though. Totally get where you're coming from, some games I talk too fast because I'm thinking too fast - and it makes it hard to watch for me in retrospect. It's really difficult to balance all the options and choices whilst talking folks watching through the important stuff and filtering through the less important stuff. But at the same time I find vocalising my thought process and trying to explain it helps me play better. There is a balance to be had though, every round I'm asking myself "How do I win? And how do I lose?" but I can't keep saying the same thing every round or it'll get dull for the people watching! Instead I'm trying to create a narrative which covers the important beats and interesting things I noticed as I was bumbling along and sometimes I'll include the more crazy ideas and connections in sound-over edits like the TF2 Sniper's death cries or "Battle Ship Operational!" voice line from Starcraft. When the battles start I go into cheerleader mode and just cheer my units along and try to highlight where I think the important moments in a battle will be. It's really hard on losses though because internally I'm kicking myself for not thinking of x, y or z that could've won it for me! Think you balanced it really well here and it'll just get easier with practise, keep going! I suggest watching a few different Mechabellum youtubers and decide which styles and quirks work best for you, and don't stress too much - as long as you're having fun it'll come through on the videos! Good luck in the rounds to come!
@@Drone_101 A lot to take in there! I really appreciate the thoughtful comments. I will certainly keep at it! From my previous time streaming and playing MTG i find that narrating my thoughts helps me play as well. That's one of the reasons I started streaming.
