At first, I was a little disappointed in my tournament losses on Sunday. I felt the nerves, and noticed a lot of mistakes in the moment while I was playing.
But I watched the stream later that day, and as an observer of the match, without being in it? I did all right! Sure, I got got, but I still gave my opponents a challenge.
Watching them again today? I'm able to focus purely on the most important mistakes, as well as get a bit more confidence because, oh wait--we actually went to the very last round there! I was worried about losing, but actually, I was moments away from winning--and going top 8 in my first tournament ever!
Rewatch your matches. Your assessment of your own play will be more neutral, and in my case, much more positive; in terms of growth, you can get clarity on the most important things to fix, instead of dwelling in a swamp of moment-to-moment things you were thinking at the time.
Onward and upward! I want to start streaming the game soon now that I have a really good new comp =3 and help other folks just starting to get serious, take my same path from Iron all the way up! My secret is not learning any combos, ask me why ;)
