It was a surprising game. During the game I felt (as usual?) that it was a super tight game - at every moment, I felt like I was seconds away from my base being overrun. And if you watch the cast, you can see that the feeling was not unwarranted!
And with that, I qualified into Silver league!
Interestingly, according to the score screen, I was ranked 20th in my division upon qualifying. But when I looked at my rank on the Multi-Player screen a few minutes later, I was ranked 22.
Perhaps I was placed into a new division, and by the time I looked at the Multi-player tab, 2 more people had qualified and were ranked higher. I'll likely be ranked much lower when I log in next time. Zero rank points will do that ;-)
Update 11/1/2011: I updated the video to point to my new YouTube channel.
I should have noted this earlier, but Q... I don't think you really need to refer to CuePhoenix in the third person. It's not really a surprise that it's you and it would allow you to simply honestly rate your own performance.
ReplyDelete"Here I messed up and should have...", "At this point I made the right decision to...", "I tried a new strategy and here's how it worked out."
It's not like your lying by casting as though you are not either party, but I personally think you would be able to bring more to the table by it being a personal retrospective on matches you played.
Thanks for the feedback!
ReplyDeleteThere are different styles of casting, and the sportscasting style that I've been doing recently is only one of them.
I chose to do that style as I felt it was a better reflection of the e-Sports aspect of the game - and that it can be exciting to watch even lower league players play.
I also felt it allowed me to spread the attention to both players, and to show excitement for both, rather than just focusing on my own play.
I do have plans to do some replay analysis, where we dive into the details of a game, and come out with some lessons learned.
Sounds like those would be right up your alley, as well as some of the more advanced StarClass topics I have planned :-)
