Player/Analyst Tweets & Other Things – LCS 2021 Week 1 - TSM vs CLG

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening GrubhubGamers!
What is this thread? The main purpose of this thread is to provide a place for all social media posts/comments related to TSM’s games of the week from pro players/analysts/influencers/orgs. The thread is updated manually after every game in this order: Interview (if TSM wins) > TSM Tweets > Opponent Tweets > Others
I also take notes on LCS Co-streamer’s analysis (sometimes 2+) but because it is not the major focus of this thread, the quality varies from day to day and I would highly recommend just watching their vod which I’ll provide here if it is available.
Today’s Live Analyst: Doublelift
Analyst Vod: LINK
Today's Match Up:
TSM CLG
Huni Licorice
Spica Josedeodo
PowerOfEvil Palafox
Lost Johnsun
SwordArt Diamond

PREGAME

Doublelift
  • fastest shaco hover any% @Spicalol
    • Spica: shaco hover till I win
    • Treatz: Kayn hover to lift the curse
Doublelift (Stream)
  • Pisses him off that people flame Spica when every lane is losing. Also PoE's champ pool doesn't support the fact that Spica likes to be aggressive early.
  • Mothra vs Godzilla in the top lane! (Huni vs Finn)
Logitech G Esports
  • In this image we get just a glimpse of @Spicalol explaining his secrets to winning League of Legends games. It's time to tune into Sunday #LCS as we have @TSM facing off against old time rivals CLG.

DURING DRAFT

Doublelift
  • Doesn't understand why Bjerg gives CLG first pick Udyr when it's so broken right now.
  • If Spica hovers Shaco, TSM wins.
    • TSM wins.
  • Not sure why they need to pick Olaf/Azir in response to Udyr. Is Azir highly contested? Is it some strong important takeaway from CLG? No. Olaf makes sense into UdyCamille though.
  • TSM need to ban MF 2nd round or they might get shit on. Ori is also an acceptable ban though since it supports Camille/Udyr so well.
  • Xayah/Leona is a strong 2v2. Likes the draft. Mobility/Stats/Dmg on TSM but not much cc. CLG's comp requires good positioning and is looking to pick people off/long range wombo.
  • Wants to see more cohesiveness. Getting things off Swordart's roams. Also TSM's lanes have been so weak so far. They really need to fix their laning.
Tim Sevenhuysen
  • TSM averaged -1,548 GD15 in their first two games, for an EGR of 28.2 (28.2% win probability at 15:00).
  • IMT have played 3 games with a 21.0 EGR, so TSM aren't the worst early-game team in the league, and they'll need to be very bad today to that point.

DURING GAME

Lolesports Stats: RUNES
Doublelift
  • Top lane will be a big point of contention. People have been really afraid of Huni's Lulu. Really wants to see why.
  • Likes the early ward from Huni but it seems likely that Udyr will get there after the ward expires.
  • Udyr's pathing (2:40) is really weird. He invades blue, wards it and then backs. Is now behind 2 camps.
    • Figures that since Huni came to lane early, Udyr must have thought that he was getting split mapped.
  • Udyr going the long way around to gank top was really smart (~5:20)
  • Wildturtle is playing like a pussy in the 1v1 versus Lost. He wins that 1v1 everytime with the current rune setup but he backs away. (8:30)
  • Swordart played this entire segment really badly. All he had to do was ward the lantern.(10:40)
  • TSM at least have a good win condition since they're on track to get soul.
  • Herald take from CLG at (~16:20) is smart/important because it's really hard to take mid turret versus Azir. Even if 5 show mid, Azir could probably just protect turret with his soldiers.
  • Thinks CLG deciding to go for 3k+ gold instead of going for drags is bad. Would much rather have the 3 drags(~18)
  • Lost almost smurfed the 5th drag fight. What happened to Swordart was really unlikely. He tried to E to keep Udyr in pit but Udyr drags him over the pit with his flash.
  • Big throw by CLG giving up baron. Xayah does a lot of damage now. Says Xayah late game is actually better than Aphelios. Really hard to kill too.
  • Hates that Swordart tries to combo Udyr when he has like 50+ tenacity. (~31:50)
  • TSM should not care about top lane during 6th drag. TSM should have the mindset here that it would even be worth giving up 3 inhibs for this ocean soul.
  • Not sure why CLG are trying to win via split. They should really be trying to 5v5, split isn't going to work at this point.
  • TSM's comp late game is disgusting late game. Can't really lose with Azir Lulu Xayah.
  • Doublelift thinks they could've ended on several different pushes but TSM is scared to attempt to end with eldeocean soul.
  • Finn refuses to group with the team for some reason. Finn's decision making is really disgusting like a bot.
    • In his mind he believes they will never win a 5v5, but he will also never win by split pushing. Should always go for the 5v5 rather than just randomly splitting.
Tim Sevenhuysen
  • Not including today's game, @Lost_adc has played ~36 games in the #LCS, including regionals, Lock In, etc., dating back to Summer 2018. (Not counting any Academy.) Before that, he played ~83 games in the OPL. He still has a lot of unexplored potential, though! I believe in him.(~11)
  • In a team comp with Leona, Azir, and Olaf, the best engager for TSM has been Lost. On Xayah. #LCS (~9m before end)
Raz
  • Camille flashed and almost die to the lulu botside on minimap during herald set-up (~17)
    • TimSevenhuysen: That sounds like a positive Huni play, which is not allowed and therefore is unlikely to have occurred.
*Rjs has had really good reaction timing this game. That flash away from Leona E flash is really hard to react to.(~21)
  • 1 baron side inhib for ocean soul is not worth. (~34)
Pastrytime
  • For having some pretty meh splits in recent memory @Smoothie been looking kinda nice lately. Hopefully a continued return to form for once lauded support. (~15)
  • I spy a Bandleglass mirror, but not on the Lulu 🤔
SNG Nelson
  • Why do you force 2v2s against Zoe Udyr? Do you have more than 5 summoner spells or cleanse or have more stats? (~15)
Markz
GG Danan
  • this already feels like one of those games where neither team wins (~33)
Travis Gafford
  • holy crap this game is hilarious. Just feels like there's so much ego on the line, especially with how much reggie has talked down on CLG previously
    • but it was nice of CLG to burn baron down half way for them
Treatz
  • This #LCS game is quite... Interesting to say the least 😤(~32)
Shakarez
  • Best CLG vs TSM match I've watched (~32)
  • CLG is the funniest fucking team I swear
Froskurinn
  • This game is a cluster fuck. #LCS
    • SNG Nelson: CLG just can't win.
  • Both Swordart and Finn ran away from home to join the circus.
  • "I went to world's for this."
  • Fuck it. I'm a CLG fan - this is hilarious. RUN MUPPETS RUN
IWD
  • Its an absolute horror show
Locodoco
  • Is Finn on a restricted VISA? Is he not allowed to go botside of the map and split?
Santorin
  • Hey what's going on????(~41)
Emily Rand
  • This one is going to be a good gold graph image...
Rogue Flyy
  • Why did rjs tp there!?!?! (~5min before end)
Allorim
  • It must be a rough weekend for CLG fans
CoreJJ
  • 2020 League is stronger than 2021 League. (~3min before end of game)
Dunc
  • I want out of this game please

POST GAME

INTERVIEW w/ PowerOfEvil

  • Not satisfied. Game was really chaotic and the team currently isn't on the same page. Too many voices. Really need to figure out how to unite. Feels good to end the week with a win.
  • Down gold, lost dragon fight. Game was really hard. Zoe got caught and they knew it was their chance to turn it around at Baron. They were stronger in split push so it was just a game about defending the base against Camille. Had to do a lot of communication as the defender.
  • A lot of fans are saying we're really bad and he understands. He was in a similar situation on FLY where people were telling him that FLY isn't a playoff team but he made finals back to back. Thinks his teammates are strong individually and they'll work on improving.

LS
  • Now that the Royal Fumble: Senior Center has finally ended, I'll give my thoughts in just a moment on what this Clash of Trash prequel trailer might mean for Kong vs Zilla later this year.
  • TSM are quite literally a bottom tier team atm&there's no easy fixing it, especially not with 5 weeks left. Their laning phases, overall individual gameplay ideas (player by player) & drafting are all insanely bad. This is several times now they got away w/ stealing the mona lisa
  • They've consistently been in losing positions and game states for a long time (it reminds me of summer where they also committed robberies, mostly on the back of bjergsen to win games). The reason I'm doubtful they can improve is because how can they realistically?
  • Intent is absent in their gameplay - Intent is where you would see coaching or other things take affect, and yet it's no where to be found. They look similar to earlier versions of TSM, just with a now worse roster and w/o Bjergsen to save them.
  • I'm not optimistic anything can change, because my perception is that Bjergsen was always the coach anyway, and it's unfair to blame him, because he's put in an impossible position imo. He never had anyone help him, so how can he be expected to know what to do to fix such issues?
  • He was NAs by far&away best player so long, &carried so many iterations of the team on his back through sheer power of his gameplay and finding wins where they didn't belong. Now he's absent, but the foundational problems that plague the team regrow like nature overgrowing a city
Tim Sevenhuysen

  • Lol easy win for TSM!!🙏🙏
Travis Gafford
  • CLG were just better at losing today.

Broadcast/Shows:
The Dive 2021 Power Rankings - Link(39:00 for TSM discussion)
Summary Power Rankings by Kobe/Azael/Markz:
Azael: Individually Strong, POE back to back finalist, always solid. Spica made huge improvements, proactive at Worlds. Swordart will be outstanding but is unsure how he will do Lost. Imagine if 5 million dollar Swordart still ends up losing lane with Lost. Thinks TSM will be very proactive, putting carries on Huni/Spica with Swordart roaming and Lost being a secure late game carry. Hard to say how they will come together as a unit.
Kobe/Markz: Huni is still a massive question mark and the elephant in the room.
Kobe: Overpaid for Swordart. Spica and Swordart are going to be really proactive. Spica at the end of the season heavily prioritized ganks over farming in a farming meta, and Swordart turbo roams all over the map all the time. Pro players have told Kobe about how annoying it is playing against him, even being top at level 2 sometimes.
Markz: Great meta for roaming supports right now and Swordart could contest Corejj as the top support in the League. Huni top lane is still the huge question mark. Pro players still look at him in high regards despite the general public viewing him as a con man paycheck stealer. Huni's strong play isn't translating to stage although part of it was because of having weak teammates.
Azael: Pro players are base most of their opinions off scrims and scrims are typically more scrappy. Coach Bjerg is also another big question mark. Bjerg is respected by every player and has amazing work ethic. Has no doubts he will become a good coach but is unsure how he will start out.
Markz: Likes that PoE was the one to take over Bjerg's position. A large portion of the success FlyQuest had was because of PoE.

DURING DRAFT

Doublelift:
  • TSM's bot lane is playing really well from when he has played against them. They're shaping up really well and seem to be in good condition.
  • Leona/Maokai are really contested. Maokai counters Leona. Kaisa is first pickable. Kaisa is really strong right now.
  • Surprised FBI isn't getting fp Kaisa. FBI scared?
  • Best Jungle champs are the ones that have strong presence pre-10
  • Doesn't understand the Taliyah 1st pick. Taliyah isn't that strong.
  • PoE is the guy that will TP back to lane for 6 creeps (according to Bjerg). Very greedy and cares a lot about farming but it helps him carry the game. TF into PoE is very risky because if you don't do something with your TF ult play, PoE is going to punish you hard.
  • Graves/Ori is a pretty bad mid 2v2, especially compared to Taliyah/Twisted Fate. There isn't counterplay to the Tf gold card + Taliyah one shot.
  • Xayah pick is kinda iffy but it makes sense. Xayah scales pretty well against TF. Ulti counters gold card. Xayah is really weak early though. Not a big fan of the pick.
  • Gnar pick seems "fucking useless" but we'll see.
  • Apparently Gnar was spammed in China.. again we'll see.
  • Overall TSM has a lot of scaling, it's up to Swordart and Ming(Spica) to create pressure. Not a lot of CC in the comp. Not much consistency in the comp other than Leona and her cc. Swordart has to set up everything from the looks of things. Any even numbered fight seems to be a disadvantage for TSM until late.
  • Kind of a greedy comp for TSM and it doesn't look too meta. 100T comp looks like it can take early objectives better. Leaning towards 100T's draft more. Scared for TSM.
  • Taliyah pick makes more sense now with all the setup they built for her.
  • Spica is a soloq fiend. He has good killer instinct and has really good mechanics. Graves isn't as strong in competitive as it is in solo queue. Says Spica is similar to him in thinking that a champ is either good or useless.
Tim Sevenhuysen:
  • It's super fascinating that TSM kept Spica to build around since TSM Junglers were always wards for Mid lol. Oh, except for in 2020 Summer when TSM frequently played for Bjergsen to back up Spica who was pressuring top to enable Broken Blade and top/jungle carry duos.
SNG Nelson:
  • Let me guess, Swordart and Spica will appear top side the moment 100T wants to execute a dive on Gnar
Gilius:
  • 100T wins that game easy
    • Dunc: ????????????? bro?
    • Sry dunc Draft looks tough
MaxOlivo:
  • sees bjergsen not in champ select as mid i am sad again

DURING GAME

Doublelift:
  • Damonte is getting completely shit on in trades so far (2:50)
  • Surprised 100 didn't protect their blue side jungle before Spica took blue.
  • Ming(Spica) was too greedy with going for gromp, PoE shouldn't have used flash when he tped in. He would probably live. Ming probably feels like he needs to really catch up from Closer's early invade.
  • Xayah is a shit champ, doesn't do anything early.
  • Every lane seems hard... Soren.. I know you're watching why did you draft like this (8:00)
  • Another reason Xayah is a terrible champ, she's bad at punishing the other adc when ahead.
  • Huni just ran it down (10)
  • TSM should've immediately countered Huni's death by diving bot.
  • PoE could've been way more aggressive on the chase, was pretty sure Ssumday was dead. (~10:30)
  • This game is really stressful since TSM seems really fucked (~12:40) PoE needs to hit a 5 man ult or something. Their champs are so bad.
    • It's like the first rule of league, you shouldn't draft 3 losing/out-pressured lanes. A 4 item requirement win con is not a good win con.
  • Wants Swordart to be more proactive and look for champs while they're rotating between lanes. Isn't a fan of the exhaust on Leona over Ignite.
  • Kind of depressing watching Huni running it down (17).
    • After the replay it wasn't as bad at he thought, Closer's Taliyah is nasty.
  • Only person that does damage at this point is PoE (19)
  • Leona blind pick is kind of shit. Should've picked Kaisa, she is really broken.
  • Closer's W's are too clean. Also Huni just tped in to give them a free target to blow up.(21)
  • FBI/Huhi are playing really well.
  • TSM need to fight right now or they will lose (23) 100 got massive value from Baron with Taliyah's wall.
  • Game is over after being triple inhibed.
  • [Game Ends] Kaisa is just too broken.

  • It was going to be a tough game to win based on draft but when Spica reacted wrong to being invaded it just kind of ended the game. So the takeaways from this game for TSM are: bad draft, bad pathing reaction, go next.
Saintvicious:
  • That was some of the worst jungle pathing I have ever seen from both junglers.

Getting started with casting OW - tips/things I wish I'd known sooner

Hey all - I'm writing this as an amateur PBP/colour caster who's now fortunate to have had a few tournaments/leagues under my belt in the past few months. So far, I've had the opportunity to cast a few matches of the Toronto Overwatch Beer League, a full season of the Ontario eSports League, a night of streamed Community PUGs for Revival, as well as two charity tournaments (Overwatch Against Cancer in Aug 2020 and Overwatch for Charity just last week) in the past little while. I've primarily been a colour caster for these (though I do dabble in PBP) and while I'm miles away from being Uber or Wolf or what have you I've definitely been able to learn a few lessons along the way and improve over time!
I periodically see folks on the sub posting about wanting to get started with casting, so I figured I'd put together a list of things and approaches that I wish I'd known a bit sooner in my brief casting career so far. Again, I'm no professional so your mileage may vary, but my hope is that other amateur casters might find this somewhat useful. I also just feel like infodumping about casting with a >1000 word essay so there's that, lol.
Here's a clip of me doing PBP, and another of a colour cast from the same map in the last charity tourney, for reference.

Solo casting or two casters?

To begin with, I'm going to assume you'll be taking part in a traditional two-caster setup. Although solo casting does sound fun in principle and means you don't have to worry about playing off another person and 'spacing' your casts to make sure you don't talk over them, it can very quickly exhaust you, not to mention just hearing one voice is also generally a bit less enjoyable for audiences over longer periods of time. Plus, there will come a point where your brain combusts mid game, especially if you're doing three matches in one night, and you'll need your other caster to pick up the slack - not to mention having another caster means you can make conversation to stall for time if needed and also set up one another for topics (more below). If you can, find a second person to cast with you as soon as possible, since learning how to time your own thoughts while letting them speak as well is a key skill to pick up early.

Play-by-play or colour?

I'll start off by saying that with more experience, it becomes easier to do either of these, and while I started as a colour caster I've since been able to do more play by play over time and quite enjoy it. So you're not stuck in whatever you pick forever! That said, I would definitely try to pick one and stick with it at first until you're more comfortable with everything else that comes with casting.
It's worth more formally stating my understanding of the two roles' responsibilities to better understand which might fit your style better.
The PBP's job is:
The colour caster's job is:
Obviously, these roles are a bit amorphous - it's entirely possible for the PBP to comment on ult economy, or how calculated Team A's Ball dive has been, or for the colour caster's analysis to end with a few elimination calls since the next fight has already started. Generally, however, it's a good idea to keep these core responsibilities in mind.

Play-by-play: things I wish I'd known

I should start by saying that in amateur settings, the PBP is usually also the person operating the stream. This means that the PBP should have a good understanding of the spec controls and how to switch between players while also controlling 3rd person angles if necessary. Spec'ing is a totally different topic for a totally different post, but I thought I'd mention that because some of these points tie in to that context.
Here are some tips:
  1. Avoid staying on one player for too long. (Insert OWL S1 storyline meme here). That refers to casting as well as spectating - narrating just one player's contribution to the fight for too long can quickly get tiresome, even if you're anticipating that say, the Genji is about to blade, and you're narrating their neutral positioning. Try to mix things up instead of staying on one person in anticipation of a big play, and instead comment on say, the frontline trades or whatnot until things snowball from there; when a player pops off, they pop off, and you're able to transition to talking about them.
  2. You don't have to catch and reference every single kill in the killfeed. It's very easy to slow down and miss ongoing action because you see more kills popping up in the killfeed and feel like they should be mentioned out loud. However, it's just as valid to say more general terms like 'and the killfeed is all blue as Team A...' or 'trades on both sides in this scrappy fight, as [player] gets nanoed amidst the chaos...'. Have a few of these phrases in your pocket because they'll definitely save you when fights get dicey.
  3. A few points re: setting up your colour caster. First, a quick way to signal that you're done PBPing the fight (even if there are a few cleanup kills) is by saying their name at the end of your call (e.g. and with the Rein hammer of [player] taking out [other player], I think that's it for Team B, [colour caster name]'). This tells your colour caster to step in right there. Also, you can just ask them - 'what's working for team A here?' 'why does team B keep getting away with letting their Hog flank?'. These general questions are crucial to help your colour caster find things to say, which can be especially hard in one-sided matches.
  4. Remember that it's your job to bring attention back to the fight if the colour caster goes on too long. Many of us colour caster types could talk about OW microplays for days, so it's the PBP's job to cut in if needed if the next fight is already well underway and the colour caster is a bit slow on the uptake. It's not very glamourous but sometimes it needs to be done.
  5. Between maps/rounds, let the colour caster do most of the talking and drive the topics, and set them up for more analysis if needed; this is their time to shine.

Colour casting: things I wish I'd known

In amateur settings, the colour caster is usually just another spectator in the lobby, and isn't necessarily seeing the same thing the PBP/stream is. Use this to your advantage as a colour caster - stay in 3rd person view and give yourself a permanent bird's eye view of the fight. This lets you see positioning, pathing, ult usage, and more, all of which you need to know and should comment on. It also means you might catch off-to-the-side plays the PBP misses that you can draw attention to after the fight ('also in that last fight, a huge play from the Tracer to distract the Ana off in the back, meaning that the frontline had less heals...'). Generally, you almost never need to be in first person: yes, it means you miss seeing the bonkers Widow headshots that one player is landing, but such is the cost of doing analysis on cast.
(Disclaimer: the only time the colour cast benefits from first person is in calling techs, like Genjis cancelling deflects by wall climbing before that was a cancelable ability, but it's still not worth losing potential macro-analysis for this imo)
Other tips:
  1. As the colour caster, your responsibilities are constantly shifting: for example, on the start of a 2CP map, commenting on defensive positioning alongside the comps is important, whereas the start of a control map entails much more talking about the composition matchup. Keep in mind the map type can affect what the key things to highlight are and shift what you're highlighting accordingly.
  2. Three words: remember the objective. Always, always, always remember the objective, and tie that in to your contributions when possible. This is super easy to forget and it makes for a worse experience as a caster and audience without it. There is always a timebank or capture point ticker that affects the stakes of a coming fight, and should almost always be made reference to in your analysis. Reminding the audience that Team B overulted is one thing, but adding that they overulted in the fight before last fight on Hanamura second but still only walked away with a single tick now clearly means that Team B is in a truly rough spot. This ties into the point about narrative - in this Hanamura example, the audience now knows that the deck is stacked in favour of Team A, and sets their expectations accordingly.
  3. It's very easy to get hyped up about plays while your PBP is going off, and these can often add to casts: Wolf does a good job of this with his exclamations under Achilios's PBP ('HACK ON TRANCE, JJONAK IS HACKED'), and the famous Pine highlight on Route 66 vs Fuel is so much better just because Monte shrieks 'OH MY GOD' in the back. BUT - be careful not to fully interrupt your PBP and/or throw them off their groove. A good way to do this is to hype up something after they've made reference to it ('red Rein hits a huge shatter!' followed by you going 'it's massive!'). It's possible to do this to draw attention to a play the PBP missed, but it'll take time to learn the right timings for this, since it's PBP dependent and they may totally lose their train of thought if something new is said by you. Remember the enabling goes both ways.
  4. Let your focus drift away from the fight itself sometimes. Hear me out here: I used to focus too hard on the fight at times and then not have that much to say between fights cause I'd have to actively think about analysis before saying anything. It's fine to let your PBP do their thing while you just quietly squint at positioning and ult percentages so that you can immediately launch into analyzing those things when the time comes. I'm not saying ignore the fight entirely, but you're allowed to let your brain process other things for a bit, so that you can mentally prep what you want to highlight.
  5. As a general tip - this applies to PBP too - give props! In amateur tournaments, people are really excited to have their popoffs streamed and casted, so try to hype up players when they do well. Try to do this more than criticize if possible - it's possible to say 'red Rein is really doing an excellent job in this Rein mirror' instead of 'blue Rein is getting walloped in this Rein mirror'. They both mean the same thing, but blue Rein watching back the stream probably won't feel as shitty about it.
If you made it this far, I hope this was helpful - I have plenty more to share, but I figured this got long enough as is. If you have any questions I'm happy to answer best as my amateur self can, but more importantly if you have other tips as well I'd love to hear them in the comments!
Edit: thank you for the awards, much appreciated!

The State of r/Tekken: Suggestions/Feedback Megathread

With the clusterfuck that was 2020 soon behind us, I'd like to reflect on the state of the Tekken community globally. We saw our last major offline tournament of the year in February with Only The Best III, after which COVID quickly shut everything down (although Korea and Japan managed to organize some offline tournaments towards the end). Despite the lack of the intimacy of offline tournaments, we still managed to rally together with multiple online tournaments like the Tekken Online Challenges and the ICFC. Season 4 was huge, as the improved netcode brought us closer, allowing us to share a much better Tekken experience. Tekken 7 streamers on Twitch saw huge increases in followers, view counts and subscribers. Tekken itself saw tremendous growth, with more than 3000 new Kings of the Iron Fist joining us to get washed online together in the last 2 months alone.
However, with travel restrictions looking unlikely to be lifted in many parts of the world, it doesn't seem we will be returning to normal very soon. Since we have to rely on the Tekken community to sustain itself, I'd like to ask the members of the Tekken community as to what your thoughts are regarding the state of the subreddit, and what can be done to improve it. Please feel free to suggest anything you'd like, from different types of weekly content, to changes in moderation direction, to subreddit features and events you'd like to have.
As a starting point, some ideas I've been thinking of are -
I'd like to sign off with some words from the S4 trailer,
Keep your head up, 元気を出して, raise your fists.
There's hope in the darkness.
Happy holidays everyone, and stay safe.

StoryFire won't be the end. It was an experiment. I have ideas for Jesse's next website, while having final criticisms StoryFire. StoryFire was nothing more than a learning experience.

Now, I want to say that I am a day one supporter of StoryFire. I have been with it for 4 1/2 years, but I had to drop out after the marketing push because StoryFire's quality of life has severely declined. I have been very critical of StoryFire, and sometimes harshly critical, but that's because I have always supported it and wanted to see it better.
I will actually miss StoryFire. Even though the last year (2020) has made it turn very sour around the time of the marketing push with oversaturated and uninteresting content, it turned into a dumping ground of rejects and washed up YouTubers. I hate to say it, but it's true. More than half of the new users didn't even stick with the platform but to no fault of their own. (I will explain in a moment.) StoryFire before the marketing push was, in my opinion, really good. It wasn't fantastic, it was a borderline 6/10, but it most certainly had the ability to improve and become a better platform.
The story portion of the platform is arguably what I might miss the most. The stories in StoryFire, the feature alone, was what made StoryFire unique and stand out from the rest of the platforms. You have other sites like Parler and Bitchute and all those AltTech sites that don't have a feature like that. Not even YouTube, Vimeo, or Daily Motion had stories on them. In fact, StoryFire once had a non-public feature where you can read a story and then watch a video after it, which is what My Virtual Escape did. I personally BEGGED Jesse for this feature, but it never came to light. The stories on StoryFire were actually decent, and the community around the story feature was humble. Although, I think it was very ironic that the web feature didn't have a dedicated section to actually read them, or browse stories. Why? Because StoryFire was trying to focus on what it wasn't; YouTube. (More on this later.)
Another thing I will miss about StoryFire is the hybrid social feed. It was a mixture of Twitter and Instagram. I noticed recently that they added a 500 character limit, which is actually fantastic. I actually remember bringing this up to Jesse on his Twitch stream (back when he was playing Call of Duty: Warzone) and he said it was actually a brilliant idea, saying "I was onto something." The 500 character limit is double Twitter's character limit, which I personally is a greater advantage. StoryFire's social feed is a better Twitter feed. Actually, no, I take that back. StoryFire's social feed is not only better than Twitter's social feed, but it's arguably much better than Twitter. It's Twitter without the bullshit. (But I must interject that the profile system on StoryFire was complete crap, and I have made a video regarding this subject with a full-fledged concept.) If the profiles on StoryFire were like Twitter or Facebook, with the big banner and organized profile picture and post placements, then I would have had more reason to use StoryFire (customization is everything) and it would have been a lot more attractive.
Freedom of speech is a much-valued right that people want to preserve online. What I really liked about StoryFire is that individuals were really able to say what they wanted. However, this was troublesome for moderators, as I have heard first hand that they did not have any tools and had to talk to Brian in order to ban someone. (More on that later.) Regardless, StoryFire, in my opinion, was really a place where you could say mostly anything that would be "socially unacceptable" on Twitter or Facebook. Like I said earlier, StoryFire was mostly Twitter but without the bullshit drama and political partisanship. (I will touch on that later.) And to mention the 500 character limit, that was also really nice. Regardless, StoryFire was able to get away with "freedom of speech" and "anti-censorship" because it did not cater to the far right or far left. It was for common folk to get on and talk civilly. And even though there was a lot of political speech on there, and I often posted about gun rights and advocacy (because I believe in minimal firearm regulations,) there was no subjection for any ban and all parties were civil because no one threatened anyone or broke the rules. On Twitter or Facebook, that would indicate you as a social bot or get you locked out of your account. So I think that StoryFire really succeeded in the freedom of speech part. And honestly, I do think that StoryFire does deserve praise for that. Jesse always wanted people to have a platform, and he really wanted everything (within reason) to be said.
What I will not miss about StoryFire... A lot of things.
What I will not miss about StoryFire is the videos that were spammed. What really made me leave StoryFire is when videos were spammed. I will point fingers and mean nothing personally. When I saw BowBlax post, not only did he dominate my sub box, but he dominated a lot of other home page elements. There was little to no competition, other than the DramaAlert videos that Daniel Keem would make. I mean no disrespect to anyone I name by hand, but for all of the people who were brought onto the marketing push, I would say that one or two-fifths of the select individuals actually uploaded consistently. Props to them, but there was no competition or original content, so I just could not stay. The only thing that made me stay for my final few months was the story portion and the social feed because the community on there (that were not involved in big organized groups i.e. BlazeClan, Flame Gang, etc) were pretty good. Something I will mention later, StoryFire should have separated amateur content from the professional or verified content. With all of them mixed together with absolutely zero prioritization, it really made the homepage look like a mess and generally uninteresting. Also, a nit-pick, Raka Raka hasn't uploaded in months, why is he on the banner? That should be space for an advertisement so StoryFire can get ad funding. Remember when YouTube used to have an advertisement on its home screen? If StoryFire was trying to go for that YouTube look, it would have taken a step forward and helped itself in the process.
Another thing would be the video applications. For this Reddit post exclusively, I will show you a video application that really impressed Brian himself. Yes, it was mostly done by us and with help from professionals, and Brian did tell me that he loved it himself. Do you want to know why that channel wasn't accepted onto StoryFire? Copyright. That's it. I'll let that slide, but that doesn't excuse the fact that the application system was an atrocious turn-off to many. There needed to be other ways, and there are, for video uploading to be far more accessible. I have seen a lot of applications back in the day when this app was popping off. There were a lot of really bad videos that had no thought, acting, or anything done to them, let alone proper editing. However, I will talk about an alternative to applications later on. But this point is for the application system alone, and just how bad it was. It turned a lot of people away. And to add insult to injury, it used Google forums and not an in-house StoryFire application.
The overall layout. The homepage and design of the StoryFire website was unorganized at best. What I did not like is that StoryFire's homepage was focused a bit too heavily on videos. It did not focus on stories enough on the web, and finding stories on the web was really hard (and the stories themselves were buggy on the web,) and there just needs to be far more organization. This will be touched on later.
StoryFire, and the logo. StoryFire does not catch. It is not a really memorable name, and not a lot of people will take interest in it. StoryFire itself suggests that it focuses strictly on stories, and not videos. Fortunately, I have been brainstorming some ideas... StoryFire should have at least had a minimalistic or 3D-ish logo. But the logo we have does not fit with the times. It makes no sense for a business graphic. It's too big, it's really bulky, and it again does not catch. (Again, more on this later.)
What does Jesse do now?
I feel that Jesse should return to YouTube for some time, and take any offers he can get that might be useful for views and financial compensation. Jesse seriously needs to focus on the quality of his content, and he needs to focus on his financial situation. I am unsure of StoryFire's financial backend, but I guarantee you that Jesse has lost a TON of money in just keeping StoryFire up alone.
So with this being said, Jesse needs to regain the money that he has lost. He needs to regain his old audience, he needs to gain viewership again. We need some old 2016 and 2018 collab series back, as those racked in a TON of views, thus resulting in more money.
I really do think that Jesse should rebuild a new platform. It needs to be StoryFire, but better. StoryFire did a lot of things right that the next platform can do better. Jesse even said it himself, he has learned a lot within the last 4 years, and he even said that StoryFire itself was a learning experience. It most certainly was.
Personally, it's been a while since I've seen a decent video from Jesse. Jesse is burnt out, and he has been focusing a lot on StoryFire. I cannot wait, and am now quite interested, in seeing where Jesse goes after this. It is getting to a point where I actually want to see what Jesse does now. Despite me being a critic and supporter, I really want to see what happens next.
Let's talk about videos, features, and how it can learn and improve from StoryFire.
I think that Jesse should have a new platform up and running by 2023 at the earliest. I want to see a bigger and better StoryFire, that isn't StoryFire. I was thinking of some names that could be... Better suited to videos and social media sharing. A name I thought of... "RidgVid." Because since Jesse has been focusing on videos more than stories on StoryFire, I incorporated "vid" and "RiDGiD STUDiOS" together, since Jesse would be head of the scene. It would sound a bit more fluid and easier to remember.
Now, what should RidgVid do? Most of what StoryFire did, but it isn't that. It will be a primary video website for what StoryFire was intending to be. On Jesse's new site, the stories will be there as it was on StoryFire, maybe expanded upon a bit, but it will mostly function the same. The only difference is that it will not be clunky and difficult like StoryFire was. It will be a hybrid of 2010's YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram.
The video feature of the new site, you have to pay a one time fee of $5 USD or so (per account!) for it. You also have to verify your phone number, and have a valid email address. You start off with a 10 minute cap, you can't go over. Now, because finances are a stress point, if you want to get 5 additional minutes, you can pay $1.99 for that, and continue doing so. Payment is one easy way to do it. However, after paying the one time fee, you can circumvent buying more time and get more time to upload for free by surpassing a certain number of likes per video (i.e. if one video gets 500 likes, you are entitled to 3 extra minutes of upload length. This happens one per video and is capped at 30 minutes long.) Now, you might think that's a dumb idea.
>>Why would anyone pay $5 to upload? Well, finances. It supports Jesse and the site. But, if you are trusted in the community and have proven to upload consistently good videos, then you wouldn't have to pay the the $2 extra. And plus, the reason to pay in the first place is to completely get rid of the horrid application system that StoryFire had. Regardless, everyone wanted to upload. Now this begs the question, "with all these videos being uploaded, surely the servers will be overloaded. How do we prevent spam and nonsense videos?" Easy. Let's say you're like, 12, and you just uploaded a virtically filmed video of yourself playing Fortnite and you upload it to RidgVid (tell me if you like the name btw,) and he's talking in a high pitched voice giving "commentary" about what you are trying to see, and you see that no one liked the video (or it got disliked.) Well over time, users can flag videos they deem to be "legitimately unconstructive," or spam, or copyright (i.e. filming yourself reading a book or filming a concert straight-up with no filming professionalism or anything else.) In order for a video to be deleted in the name of spam or unconstructive content, users can flag it and it will be reviewed by a team of human spam moderators, and in good faith, they will determine if a video should be or should not be deleted. "And what about video game content?" Take a look at the video I linked above, there is a clear difference between no-commentary gameplay and gameplay with legitimate editorial substance.
Will anything be different with the homepage? I can argue that the homepage was arguable one of the worth things about the website. Had StoryFire would have had a homepage like VKontakte's social feed, kinda like how on Twitter, it immediately brings you to the social feed instead of anything else. For example, then it would have been a bit better. VK has a sidebar (in chronological order) that can bring you to your profile, news feed, messages, friends (or in StoryFire's case, subscribers. Even though StoryFire should have two seperate lists for subscribers and friends, like way far back OG YouTube did,) communities, photos, music, video, and games. There was even sections for a marketplace, which StoryFire was testing out years back, and "VK Pay," which StoryFire's answer was Blaze.
And regarding Blaze, the new site should keep Blaze's fundematal meaning, just don't call it Blaze. Drop the entire campfire and fire aspect altogether. Call it RidgCoin for all I care, I think that's a good name. But Blaze, keep that idea and fundemental.
For the moderators, I have heard first-hand stories from StoryFire mods that they do not have the proper tools to moderate the site. Jesse's next website should offer a whole slew of regulations and tools for moderators. This includes the ability to delete comments, story/social posts, view private DM's, view username changes internally, have the ability to ban users (instead of asking Brian to do it,) have the ability to leave private notes on users that can be seen only by other mods, the ability to have a moderator group DM with Jesse and other admins in it for direct conversation.
And as for video moderators, as I have previously mentioned, those would be different than social feed and story moderators. Two seperate teams, all under the same umbrella.
Direct messaging was barebones on StoryFire!!! C'mon, Jesse! I saw your video on Twitter telling people on Wallstreet Bets to join StoryFire. You showed them the profiles, the DM's. That isn't enough. StoryFire should have had group DM's like Reddit/Discord does. It should also have voice and video calling. No other video sharing website has that, maybe a few does... But more ideas for your next site!
It's a wrap.
McJuggerNuggets did in fact say that he wanted to keep the idea of StoryFire in mind. He made a phrase in his recent video that really inciuated that... StoryFire was just a stepping stone. A learning experience. And quite frankly, StoryFire was a MASSIVE learning experience. In fact, I am quite impressed with it. Although Jesse marketed it quite terribly, I feel really bad for the half a million he spent on the semi-failure marketing push and the lack of creators staying... You mostly can't blame them. StoryFire wasn't ready for it. Neither is it ready for investors. But, StoryFire was in fact an experiment. Likewise, I do not think Jesse is done. In fact, I want to see him make another platform. Using this thread and all the ideas, build off of StoryFire. Do not leave the stories part out of it. Look at the VK side bar, and it should have been a side tab on the web for people to view stories. Create other in-house features, like a documents page. Jesse's next site could be like, the Swiss Army Knife of video platforms. It could have all kinds of tools and features. Like how Google has Google Docs, Slides, YouTube, contacts, Drive... Jesse could create an all-on-one off brand site that could in fact beat other sites like Daily Motion and Vimeo out of the water simply because it has more in-house recourses and utilities.
Regardless, I hope you liked this post. It was just mostly some ideas, and complaints I had. Jesse, I am actually proud of you and of StoryFire. I know I have been very harsh since the marketing push, but that's because I was irritated with the direction it was going. I always have supported the StoryFire. Why I decided to come back, it was mostly out of shock and concern. I never expected this to happen so suddenly. The money could have gone to better areas, yeah, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that you did what other's couldn't. StoryFire will forever be a great example of "I'll make my own website because I do not like how the mainstream media and giant tech runs things." When people tell others "if you don't like it, go make your own site," this is exactly what happens when you do that. Jesse did just that. He proved to everyone that 1.) it's very expensive, and 2.) it's very hard to even begin competing.
You didn't let anyone down, Jesse. No one is disappointed. You stood up to the big tech with your own product. You did what people said to do, "go create your own site if you don't like it." You offered real solutions to big problems YouTube had. You offered a platform for everyone that was suppressed and silenced. StoryFire was better than Parler, it was better than most AltTech sites. It was just an experiment. A broken, buggy, but very ambitious Cyberpunk 2077-esque equivelant website. Big dreams, hard to do.
It took me two days to make this post. (I've been working a lot.) Sorry if I did not address any points. Tell me what you think.

Welcome to Rocket League, lets get started! (a comprehensive guide)

Welcome to Rocket League

I want to welcome all new players to the world of Rocket League, a fast paced and physics based car soccer game that is super fun to play at any skill level.
To help you get started I’ve created a comprehensive guide to all things Rocket League. I’ll be going through everything you need from your first goal to becoming the highest rank in this game: Supersonic Legend.
The first step we’ll take is going through the games interface and explaining the basics of the game. Please take note that the latest update was just released and some things might be slightly different or net yet updated on any of the links I added.
 
For returning players: A quick link to a good post about Epicgames account linking and trouble shooting.

Menu and Options

Main menu << See image
  1. This is the main menu, we’ll focus on Garage, Inventory, Play, Training and Options.
  2. Your banner, Avatar, Avatar border, [TEAM TAG], Profile name, XP level and XP progress bar.
  3. Rocket League news ticker with the latest news
  4. Rocket League Friends List and your RocketID (watch this explanation) *slightly outdated
 
Garage
One of the first things you’ll want to do is choose a car body and make it your own. You can do this in the Garage menu. There are a lot of ways for you to customize your car in Rocket League, there are different bodies, wheels, decals, boost, toppers, trails, antennas and more for you to create your own unique car setup. You can customize,manage and save your presets so you can quickly switch between them.
Choosing your first car body will probably be based on visual preference first, whichever one you think is the coolest looking car. When you get the hang of the basic controls you’ll want to try out other car bodies because they all feel a bit different. There are visual differences in car bodies but there are also 6 different hit boxes where the handling, height and length of the car is different. You’ll find that the difference between the Breakout and the Octane is much bigger than the difference between the Octane and the Road Hog. At the start the car body choice doesn’t matter that much, later on when you get better you’ll see that most players use the Octane or Dominus (or cars with those hit boxes). You can read more about car bodies and hit boxes at the bottom of this post.
 
Inventory
The more you play, the more items you collect via drops or through other means. With the inventory you can manage them although this is a very basic and still underdeveloped part of Rocket League. You can archive items or tag them as favorite, sort and filter on quality and attributes. Rocket League customization items are a world on it’s own with online fashion advice subreddits and a buzzing trade community. If you want to know more about item quality, certification, colors and the communities around this then read the Rocket League Items and Trading section down below.
 

Play

There are six tabs in the Play menu: Casual, Competitive, Tournaments, Training, Extra modes and Custom games.
 
Casual
Casual is where you’ll start out in the beginning to play car soccer with friend or other players from your region. It’s all about quick games and having fun, you can join and leave mid-game without penalty but it’s appreciated when you stick around (even if you’re a goal down). Casual doesn’t have ranks but it does try to match you with players that are on the same skill level.
Competitive
Competitive is where it gets serious and you battle other players for MMR points and try to get a higher rank, you’re expected to really try your best to win the game for your team. You get a rank per playlist (1v1, 2v2, 3v3) so you can be Bronze in 1’s but Gold in 2’s. When you start out in Competitive you first have to play 10 placement matches before you see what rank you are. There is a option here called Arena Preferences where you get to like and dislike certain Arenas which makes it less likely or more likely you encounter them. I only use the global settings and don’t bother with a setting per playlist.
Tournaments
Tournaments are where you'll be able to compete in official Psyonix tournaments and win items or sign up for player generated tournaments. Tournaments have been recently revamped and you'll find more info on it from the official news item.
Training
Training is very important in Rocket League, it is the fastest way to improve at the game and get the hang of all the different mechanics. Starting out you’ll want to do the tutorial and the Goalie, Striker and Aerial training. When you’ve got some basic understanding on the core mechanics you can practise hitting the ball around in free-play or try out one of the many community made training packs. Same with the Rocket League items, there is a whole world out there on training, best practises and fastest ways to improve. I’ll expand on those in the FAQ, tutorial and guides section. But before you worry about that first be bad at the game, be bad and laugh your ass off at the hilarious situations you’ll be in with your teammates. Or you know… lose yourself in this list of training packs.
Extra modes
Extra modes are fun variations on Rocket League. Snow day is with a puck instead of a ball, Hoops is like basketball, Dropshot is a mode where you have to break the floor tiles to score and Rumble is like normal Rocket League but with cool power ups. Hoops is the only 2v2 mode, the others are all 3v3. Try them out as they all ask a slightly different set of skills.
Custom games
This is something you will want to check out especially when you are starting out in Rocket League.

Options

Ok time to go and look at all the settings you can play around with. I won’t go into too much detail because Pro players Squishy Muffinz and Scrub Killa have made really great videos on this where they walk you through all the settings and explain what they do so I can’t recommend that enough! Watch Squishy Muffinz and Watch Scrub Killa.
 
Gameplay
You can leave the most on default but the two of the most changed settings on this screen are
  • Text chat
Specify what kind of text chat you want, all, quickchat, team or off. Sometimes you’ll notice it can be relaxing to actually turn this off for a while.
  • Cross-platform play
My preference is to only play with players on the same platform (pc) because there is a slight difference in the kind of players you encounter. Also you can’t actually communicate with other platforms other than through quick chat so keep that in mind.
  • Game stat display level
Sometimes too much information can be annoying and distract you, find your personal preference.
 
Camera
Probably the most changed settings in Rocket League. The default settings are just plain wrong so make sure you adjust these to your personal preference as soon as possible. Starting out in Rocket League most players prefer to have sort of a birds eye view, high angle and distance. This setting is great for your awareness in game but do really hurt your precision when hitting the ball. It’s fine to start out with a higher distance and angle though but you’ll soon want to edge more towards the ‘pro settings’. I mean there’s a reason the pros use it. Don’t be afraid to adjust these settings throughout your time playing because your personal preferences might change over time.
 
  • Camera presets are not really used, wide angle is the only one that’s playable.
  • Camera shake is something you’ll want to turn off… OFF!
  • Field of view you can put on 110, this gives you the most awareness.
  • Distance is something you can play around with but remember that the further you are from your car the less precision you have when hitting the ball. Being to close to your car will hurt your awareness though so try and keep this between 260 and 310. Also keep in mind that the Stiffness also affects the distance (more stiffness = closer to your car).
  • Height should be anywhere from 90 to 120. Height and Angle affect each other so if you have a high angle you can have a lower height.
  • A high Angle gives you a better view on what’s behind the ball but can affect your ability to hit the ball in the right spot. Especially when you start air dribbling you’ll find that a higher angle is not to your advantage. Most players keep this between -3 and -5.
  • Stiffness can be anything from 0 to 1. Most players use between 0.35 and 0.75 but there are some that have it all the way to 1. More stiffness means that your camera is almost fixed to your car, less stiffness and you’ll notice that on low speeds you are close to your car and when you’re boosting the camera moves a bit further away.
  • Swivel speed is how fast your camera moves when looking around and
  • Transition speed is how quickly the screen transitions between car and ball cam.
  • Invert swivel inverts the swivel direction on your camera controls.
 
Controls
Here you can adjust controller sensitivity and deadzone but it’s better to leave this on default until you’re a bit more comfortable with the game and then experiment with sensitivity and deadzone.
 
Controller bindings
In Rocket League you can change all the controls bindings you want. The default bindings are not ideal but configuration of the controls is purely based on your own preferences. What I have changed is Powerslide and Airrol on L1, boost on R1, jump on X and ballcam on square just to make sure I have access to everything simultaneously. I will link you to a list of all the pro controllers settings so you can find a logical setup for yourself
 
Interface
There are a bunch of interface options you can adjust here which are mostly self-explanatory. I like to increase the nameplate scale to improve my view on the opponents and force default team colors because I’m old and don’t like change ;)
 
Video
  • Consoles
Video settings on consoles are purely cosmetic and dependent on personal preference, they do not really impact how the game runs on the console. If you think you can do without the weather effects then disable them. If you want to improve your experience on your console then I recommend connecting it to a monitor and making sure the console is connected to the internet via a wired connection instead of wireless.
  • PC
Choosing the right video settings on PC can make a huge difference though and with all the different setups it's important to make sure Rocket League runs as smooth as possible. There is so much to say about this that I'll just share some really interesting links with you guys. This ranges from simply optimizing the in-game setting to changing the .ini file and Windows graphics settings.
 
Audio
You might not realize this but sound has an important role in this game. Hearing opponents boosting or jumping can help your decision making on the field. It might all be overwhelming in the beginning but soon enough you'll notice you are reacting on sound cues rather than visual cues. So play around with the settings and try to minimize the sounds that are only distracting or unnecessary.
 
Chat
Quick chat is the only way to communicate cross-platform but is also super useful to quickly inform teammates or compliment them on a play. You can set up different quick chats in settings and some of them are really helpful in-game: I got it!, All yours, Centering!, Thanks!, Nice one!. Others seem really positive like Wow! and What a Save! but you'll soon learn that they will be used just as often when you make a mistake. Don't worry about that because even after playing this game for 2000 hours you will still make mistakes and people will still be salty about this. So don't worry about mistakes, they are part of the game. Toxic behavior shouldn't be though so don't be afraid to disable chat.
 

Starting the play

3, 2, 1, Go!

Now that you've got the right controls, video and camera settings you're ready to hit the Rocket League arenas and score some sick goals. First thing you'll want to do is just have some fun playing solo or with a team. Get a good feel for the game and score some bangers!
When you realize how much fun this game is and you want to climb the competitive ranks you'll want to improve as quickly as possible. The tutorials section below will help you out greatly, I've tried to create a list of the best content out there to help you improve quickly. Apart from the best settings and controls there is something far more important that you'll need: A positive mind set.
Before I leave you with all the great content below I want to give you one more bit of personal advice:
Be a good teammate and opponent.
We are all here to play a game and have fun, be positive, supportive and adjust to their playstyle as best you can. The more players do this the better the online experience will be and you're a part of that! Be forgiving of your own and other players' mistakes, you’ll all be making a lot of them so it’s going to be tiresome to get tilted all the time. Remember the human! They all have their own stuff to deal with, Rocket League might be a way for them to escape that so make it something where they feel welcome. We all get tilted sometimes and that is OK... it’s just in the way you handle that. When you realise you’re getting tilted take a step back and do something else, play a less tilting game or go outside and take a break. It will keep you from bombing your rank or getting banned.
If nothing else, be the teammate you’d want to play with. Good luck out there and see you on the field!

  • Veigarv2: you going down BITCH
  • Ablazeolive: Gmg
Dom's interview with Cloud9 Blaber and Nisqy on TSM:
  • "Who would you rather play against, GG or TSM?"
    • Blaber: Would prefer to play against GG but doesn't necessarily mean that they're worse than TSM. Thinks GG vs TSM will be close. They want GG because they match up better.
    • Nisqy: Agrees, it's harder to draft against TSM since they have weird picks usually. It's much easier to play vs Damonte than Bjerg for Nisqy. Versus Damonte Nisqy feels like he can do whatever he wants. Bjerg on the other hand, contests him a lot.
  • Bjerg or Jensen?
    • Nisqy: Jensen over Bjerg.
    • Blaber: Bjerg has a massive amount of fans though so people might be mad at that answer. 53% fan vote to Bjerg, 2% to Jensen.
Rogue Esports:
Shakarez:
  • Less than 2 hours left for TSM vs GG rematch!I did a quick video about the drafting issues that TSM faced in their first playoff series, looking at the importance of empowering Caitlyn with strong supports as well as the value of counter picking support
  • Also, wanted to note I don't think this is entirely a champion pool issue. Treatz played Karma in regular season and even busted out Soraka 2 days ago in academy semis. Think blame is shared between the coaching staff and both bot lane players.
  • They went for comfort but as Bjergsen mentions in TSM Legends it's double elimination, so that's when you try stuff. If your backs are against the wall, then yeah comfort makes more sense. But without knowing inner workings of the team it's hard to know who pushed for comfort
Tim Sevenhuysen (OraclesElixir):
LCSOfficial:
  • From @RoyalYouthGG to @GoldenGuardians : Will @closerlol help lead his team to another victory against @TSM to advance in the lower bracket of the 2020 #LCS Summer Playoffs? #GGWIN
  • Spookz (GG Player Coach): Ye
  • Twitter Poll #TSMWIN vs #GGWIN. (54% TSMWIN | 46% GGWIN as of 11:11am PST)
TSM Report:
  • [#TSMLCS] - We continue our run through the #LCS Playoff lower bracket today with a rematch against @GoldenGuardians!
TSM Dunc:
  • I really hecking want to win today. I would give my right arm to beat GG. I might cry genuine tears. Who knows. Might even buy another cake. Just want to see a big W on my screen. Let’s go @TSM xo
LS:
  • My grandmother aka Woman/The Matriarch is 1-6 in her predictions of LCS/LEC matches. Every team except for Flyquest has lost. For tomorrow, she predicted Rogue to win.
  • She also voted against TSM. Bless her heart she knew the truth. The truth is TSM is making worlds.
IWD:
  • Biofrost wins out and has secured his spot as the superior human being, Treatz to the gulag.
  • Treatz: Gulag gaming
LCS Broadcast Analyst Desk:
  • Crumbz: Hopefully the Dig series helped with their confidence but I imagine they don't feel that good about beating a team that qualified with a score of 5W 13L.
  • Dash: 12 out of 15 of the bans were against TSM. Zil/Leblanc/Akali were consistent bans.
    • Crumbz: Banning out Bjergsen only works out if the rest of the team isn't performing.
  • Dash: Biofrost is in
    • Markz: Biofrost is the better laner and takes less risks. Against FBI/Huhi they need more of a focus on winning lanes.
    • Crumbz: It's also a comfort thing for Doublelift since they've played with each other for so long. Thinks they're similarly good.
  • Markz: In TSM Legends they talked about how they went for comfort picks, why go for comfort in upper bracket?
  • Pr0lly: Fbi/Huhi did really well against the likes of Tactical/CoreJJ who are excellent laners. They even did well against them with Senna/Braum (in lane) which isn't a kill lane.
  • Predictions: Crumbz (3-1 GG), Pr0lly (3-2 GG), Markz (3-1 GG)
Golden Guardians:
  • Last week, we took down @TSM 3-0 in our first ever #LCS Playoffs win. Today, we're looking to do it again. We know not to underestimate them and we're ready for an action packed series. It's do or die - let's take home the win. #GGWIN

GAME 1

DURING DRAFT

LS w/ SK Crownshot
  • LS: Doesn't like the Ashe, the Graves is fine. Would want a mage pick in place of where they picked Ashe.
  • LS: Syndra/Vlad on the same team is very bad.
    • Crownshot: Agreed, should've went GP with Syndra.
  • Crownshot: Ashe/Zyra would've been great
    • LS: Agreed, in lane Lux/Cait wouldn't be able to play the game.
Emily Rand:
  • Cait/Lux finally coming to the LCS.
Pr0lly:
  • so TSM's game 1 draft is 5 ranged and only Ashe as hard CC vs GGS 1-3-1 comp.... anndddd awayyyy we gooo
Veigarv2:
  • guys do u think ashe will live vs ekko shen volibear diving in? KEKW

DURING GAME

LS & Crownshot:
  • LS: Graves (Spica) probably lives from the Ekko chase if he autos (to get E sooner) and uses E at the same time to get to chicken camp sooner to smite it to live.
  • Crownshot: At least Cait didn't get the kill (Bio Dies ~5:40)
  • LS: Shocked by Karma's mobi pick up because it ruins Cait/Lux tempo. Poor purchase. (6:30) Boris strikes again.
  • LS: TSM are in a fine game state right now despite being down a kill and mountain. (7:40) Although mountain is kind of big for GG's team.
  • Crownshot: Lux is underrated, she's really strong.
  • LS: Game going to be hard post-28/29 minutes because GG can itemize really well against Vlad/Syndra with their champs.
  • LS: Graves is about to lose against Boris the shopkeeper by going black cleaver instead of lethality (15:40)
  • LS: TSM might lose if GG gets soul(Cait steals 3rd drag)
  • Crown/LS: Lux shield will start countering Vlad/Syndra.
    • LS: and Voli/Shen might be building Locket. If they do it's looking pretty doomed. Thinks Ashe/Graves won't be able to deal enough.
  • Crownshot: Disagrees with LS that Ashe built correctly. Thinks Botrk would be better since she's only hitting frontline this game. W poke is irrelevant vs Lux.
  • LS: The stolen drag and mountain played a part in TSM not killing GG. (Fight before 4th drake)
  • Crownshot: Wow Karma is 2 levels down?? what?(25min)
  • LS: It's a critical period for TSM now (25:30) They have a small window to win the game otherwise the other team's itemization counters TSM.
  • LS: Why is TSM even in enemy blue side??? All camps are up and drag comes up soon. (Bjerg/Ashe dies, gives GG Baron
Veigarv2:
  • Normally im not a fan of BoTRK on ASHE. But in this game for @TSMDoublelift vs Ekko, Volibear, Shen diving in on you blade can be very helpful to kite and sustain with using the movespeed and lifesteal + as. ER Much better vs like zoe ezreal kind of teams
C9 Westrice:
  • GG is investing a lot into Damonte in their draft and game plan. I believe he can carry again. LETS GO (~15min) @Damonte ITS UR TIME
Shakarez:
  • Brother hauntzer (TSM win huge teamfight by Herald)
  • Someone on GGS please buy locket (~24min)
  • ty Closer
PowerofEvil:
  • That was a really clean combo by @TSMBrokenBlade Crazy to think that 2 FULLY charged E's on your R isn't enough to kill Caitlyn (22min)
  • MalaclypseDC: he missed his Q
  • oh did he. I thought it was 2 E's on R + Q but maybe I didn't see the missclicked Q
  • Mal: Dmg on Huhi is imp Q.
  • Game's pretty different if that hits yeah, unfortunate misclick. Still a very good play overall, dumb mistakes like that are fatal even though it's forgivable

POST GAME 1

POST GAME STATS
Golden Guardians:
  • KEEP YOUR EYES ON @VictorHuang and @huhi ! A fight grabs us the Infernal soul and then the game! Let's GO #GGWIN
  • Cloud9: Huhi is the support we all want in SoloQ
Emily Rand:
  • Omg Huhi
  • Let it be known that I've always been a Huhi apologist.
Azael:
  • Huhi is a MONSTER! Really exciting first game & pleased to see TSM feel like they've at least made some improvements w/ champ pool / laning in the 2v2. I think this series should continue to look very competitive - it's gonna be a BANGER!
  • Who needs a jungler when you have @VictorHuang Caitlyn?!
Pastrytime:
  • Man Huhi is good at support huh.
LS:
  • Ah it's so insane. Predicting TSM is just predicting they'll win the flip on drafts and if they'll randomly add items to their cart that isn't losing to boris (they literally paid boris' kids tuition last game). So sad to watch man fuck
C9 Westrice:
  • I wanna see my boy @TreatzLoL in and just play for bot kingdom
  • Ironically, Biofrost and Doublelift do better in lane together, not because Treatz isn't a good laner, just familiarity mostly I assume. TSM need to sac bot lane since even with Ashe Karma they can't use lane prio to win the map (drakes, Heralds, general rotational play).
Malaclypse:
  • Bit of a bot gap game 1. Particularly good game from Huhi, really underspoken how much he's improved as a support this year.
Ovilee:
  • Huhi asked me for support Lux lessons before this game #LCS
Markz:
  • FBI is such a fucking monster at kiting (also GG and Huhi play around him super well). Oh yea, and apparently he is their jungler too, 2 drake secures.
C9 Mateus:
  • holy fuck Huhi saved the game so hard with the flash shield #LCS
GG Raz:
  • BIG DICK HUHI LETS GO
Tim Sevenhuysen:
  • Playoffs roll around and GG are winning games and everyone is like, "Oh, huhi is good, eh?" and I'm like "Yes you are very right and I have been writing about this for weeks."
TSM Myth:
  • Run the Kentucky Fuck House ASAP League team c'mon. #TSM
  • TSM: Coach Myth get on the phone
Dardoch:
  • huhi so goated on support its crazy
JacobWolf:
  • insert obligatory @huhi tweet here
Phreak:
  • LCS PLAYOFFS HYPEEEEEEEEEEE Golden Guardians 1-0 on TSM so far. Loser is eliminated, winner faces Cloud9 for the last spot at Worlds!
Shakarez:
  • Huhi's been a fucking hero this game, that's the 2nd or 3rd time he flashes in to shield and keep FBI alive
Kien:
  • i think TSM should pick shyvana this game so that they can at least have one dragon

GAME 2

DURING DRAFT

LS w/ Crownie
  • LS: Hates the Ashe/Graves. Thinks Malphite/Rammus is really good into those 2 champs.
  • LS: TSM favored now after seeing TF/Lee Sin. Waay TSM favored after first 3 picks for both teams. Crownie Agrees.
  • LS: Lux ban by TSM is a joke because they have the opportunity to counter pick support. TSM saves support for last but they have the 2 supports that they can hard counter. (Lux Morg)
  • LS: Why not just pick Zyra last?? It hard smashes. If they don't ban Lux they can pick Zyra into her and smash.
    • Crownie: Disagrees, thinks it doesn't hard smash.
    • LS: Ok, what about Xerath? MF? Crownie: Noooo
    • LS: MF outscales Lux though
    • Crownie: No, Lux hard outscales MF. MF Support does no damage.
TSM Dunc:
  • Damonte calling Jensen the best Mid in the LCS, whilst they ban out Bjergsen with 5 bans a game. No shit Damonte thinks Jensen is better, he gets to play a champion.

DURING GAME

LS w/ Crownie & Nemesis:
  • LS/Crownie: TSM won draft. TSM draft is way better.
  • LS: BB needs to stop going grasp on Ornn though.
  • Nemesis: Thinks this draft went well but last game wtf happened?
    • LS: TSM lost to shopkeeper. Banshee on Syndra for what? Why Karma pick? Why Vlad & Syndra on the same team? Easy itemization for GG.
  • LS: TSM is doing really well right now. (~11min) Abyssal on Ornn, Ori Seraph into Deathcap.
  • LS: Really good of BB to shove top and walk down to Drag. Hauntzer wastes his TP (~13min 2nd drag)
  • LS: Morde should go on hit.
    • Nemesis: oh here we go again Crownie.... on-hit Morde.
    • LS: No it actually counters Ornn. Kiin built it.
  • LS: 80% chance for TSM to win the game as it is going right now. (16min, GG w/ 1.8k gold lead)
  • Nemesis: ~17min. Game is over. (Bjerg 1v1s Hauntzer, Bio gets Damonte)
    • LS: Look at that, TSM win draft and the game plays itself.
  • LS: TSM really comfortable at this point, they just have to wait for Ornn items (20min)
    • Nemesis: No they have to engage on Hauntzer right now for no fucking reason. (~20:30)
    • LS: TSM did this last game and lost because of it.
  • LS: TF shouldn't have gone lich 2nd, should've went Rab
    • Nemesis: Nooo, the build path sucks/awkward and something about ap scaling. LS: Ok, yeah spellbinder then.
    • LS: speaking of builds, Ornn should've went Locket instead of QSS. They're all losing to Boris. Everyone on TSM. Nobody has Ornn items. (~26min)
  • LS/Crownie: GG get Baron for TSM's play bot. That's not fine... but at least TSM get the Ocean Soul.
  • Crownie: Liandrys or Void staff would've been way better than Bjerg's Banshees.
  • Everyone: Why are they not upgrading Ornn items??? That should be a big part of comms. Talking about when you get Ornn items. Rab is still not upgraded. (~32)
  • tsm lose
Shakarez:
  • Has Brokenblade forgotten he's on Ornn? There's a dcap and an IE to upgrade my dude XD

  • huhi, perkz, caps all mid laners who've found sucess in bot lane
Empyre:
  • It's a 1v9 Bjergsen game. Making more sidelane plays than a Twisted Fate.
  • and he just lost :/ Terrible mistake at 35 minutes with flash still up.
  • GG is just the better team. TSM is disjointed (and unrealistic to think they would fix it in time obviously). There's some connection between Bjergsen and BB in terms of syncing up plays but everything else just isn't there.
Saintvicious:
  • Huhis Bard has been pretty respectable in playoffs so far.
Malaclypse:
  • what
  • Not saying anything specifically but TSM had Kobbe Johnsun Tactical and Lost this year
Shakarez:
  • Thought game 1 was bad but game 2 has them ramming their heads randomly in a jungle fight where they haven't upgraded ornn items for 5 mins and then lose the game off of a random catch in mid lane when they have that late-game comp + ocean soul with elder up soon I'm bewildered
Jensen:
  • unlosable game for tsm after how early & mid game went with that draft but probs to huhi & fbi
Boris the Shopkeeper:
LS:
  • 33minutes and no ornn upgrades given
  • Nah but they literally just rely on their own individual prowess to carry them. There is no sentient thought or identity in the gameplay and there is so many layers between the players. Even with giga broken turbo elevated draft and ocean soul they can't win, it's so insane.

GAME 3

DURING DRAFT

LS w/ Max, Crownie, Nemesis
  • LS: B1 Sett is not a good first pick right now... ever. Even Volibear is better. Simpler execution.
  • LS: TSM can get absolutely destroyed in draft right now. Ziggs/Kog into Azir. GG don't know how to draft either.
  • Crownshot: GG win draft. Max: TSM cause he wants them to win. LS: TSM
Shakarez:
  • Caitlyn ban blue side, talk about throwing the towel lmao
  • and we get a 3rd game of DL Ashe HAHAHAHA
  • Think TSM saved draft with 2nd phase of draft
Markz:
  • The only bans not at Bjerg in this series.... are after he picks his champ. Technically, 13/13 bans against Bjerg this series LMAO
Veigarv2:
  • Caitlyn ban on blue says enough

DURING GAME

LS w/ Crownie, Max, Nemesis
  • LS/Crownie/Max: BB is doing really well. Taking the game into his own hands. Looking like a lane kingdom possibly (~3min)
  • Nemesis: TSM look really tilted in their playercams.
    • LS: yeah their facial expressions aren't good.
  • LS: If Spica comes in from the right then Hauntzer possibly dies. (~3:50)
  • Everyone: What was that?? That would never work?? (Spica flash onto Hauntzer 4:30)
  • LS/Nemesis: Triforce + WitsEnd > Botrk + WitsEnd
  • Everyone shocked at Ashe/Bard just walkin in to die (~13:30)
    • Crownie: They just seem out of it. They're tilted. Seems over 3-0.
  • LS: TSMWIN BABY (15:40) I NEVER DOUBTED THEM (Bjerg massive shurima shuffle mid)
  • LS/Nemesis: Why is Bjerg going Banshee again???? Who poisoned him?? (~17)
    I couldn't type for 15 minutes. I couldn't take the stress.
  • LS: TSM! TSM! TSM! Actually this game wasn't even TSM's hardest draft win. They still have a chance. (TSM win game 3)
Shakarez:
  • Senna going for BC with Morde/Ekko/Karma/Voli as teammates. Legit does nothing for your teammates and lethality build would do wonders against the TSM roster that won't be itemizing for armor
  • HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN 3 GAMES IN A ROW AAAAAAAAAAAA (TSM start throwing again)
Karon Moser:
  • Third game in a row where it has gotten to a point where it feels won for TSM side Losing a third from here will be too much (20min)
Markz:
  • Glad to see I was wrong about TSM morale. Even though the gold lead isn't super different from G2, they are looking MUCH better with proactivity and playmaking. Perhaps they can still turn this series around. (20min)
Dunc:
  • Even if we lose this. I want to see no BB slander. The guy has been so incredibly consistent these 3 games. Actual BEAST.

LS w/ Crownie, Nemesis, Max

  • Crownie/Nemesis: Where is the winning line with this? (after first 3 picks for both teams)
  • Leona blind is weird but Rakan shouldn't be the answer to it.
    • Crownie: Morg/Bard is banned though.
    • LS: Thresh. Zac Support.
    • Crownie/Nemesis: Ooooohhhhkkaaaayyyy. Back at it again... Gonna say Rammus next?
  • Draft by TSM is pick 5 stand alone good stuff. No identity.
  • LS: Both teams drafted poorly.
Empyre:
  • Renekton b3 blind. W H Y
Shakarez:
  • Rakan in Leona?
  • TSM just enjoys counterpicking themselves?
IWD:
  • I've watched enough LPL to be fine with Nidalee Renekton but I HATE the rakan into leona, its a straight up counterpick on yourself xd

DURING GAME

Former C9 Sneaky & Meteos (LS & Co. weren't talking about the game first ~8min)
  • Meteos: Biofrost is down 2 levels. Very weird. DL isn't even ahead of exp either. (8:25)
  • Spica is way stronger than Graves right now, they should win this Herald fight every time(8:50)
  • Sneaky: GG was trolling hard with their positioning at the Herald fight. Was weird that DL was holding arrow for so long. It's a really easy arrow to throw out. (~8:50)
  • Sneaky: TSM are doing great, accumulating small advantages. (11:35)
  • Sneaky: In response to chat saying Senna pick being troll. The Senna pick is perfectly fine into Ashe with Cait banned.
  • Sneaky/Meteos: Game is over. TSM should be able to take everything without contest. If GG are able to take anything that TSM want, it's basically trolling from TSM. (15min)
    • Sneaky: TSM macro has been pretty shit though, so it's still up in the air.
  • Sneaky: Ok TSM are trolling. (BB Dies 16min) GG should never be able to get anything with the lead that TSM has but they're getting both Turrets and Kills. GG is playing like they're winning.
  • Sneaky/Meteos: TSM get 2 tier-2s for BB's life and Infernal drag. (19min) But they really shouldn't.... nobody should be dying from this game state and there shouldn't really even be trades like this. TSM should just get everything cleanly with no deaths. (5k lead)
  • Sneaky: Bjergsen with no Banshees this game. Spellbinder!
    • Meteos: Yeah I like that better.
  • Meteos: This isn't how post-Baron should go. Doesn't like that TSM keeps doing this. (22:40) They let FBI catch the wave wherever he wants mid and they invade jungle and push side waves. Doing this will lead to being tp flanked. *they get tp flanked but the lead they have saves them.

TSM Subroza (Valorant):

Meteos:
  • It feels like Golden Guardians just got relaxed and felt like they won. They're playing a lot worse now.
  • Sneaky: They let down their golden guard.
Sneaky:
  • Golden Guardians are probably going to take blue side this time. They've won every game on blue.
TSM Treatz:
  • Silver scrapes gaming
  • Mateus: the game is golden guardians versus team solo mid and in game 5 erik treatz wessén subs in to pick yuumi and get 9 kills leading tsm to the last worlds spot match what a comeback
TSM PeterZhang:
  • TSM won't stop here. #TSMWIN
Empyre:
  • Now imagine these fights if GG didn't int the early game. Sad for them.
  • Don't really want to see anymore scaling from GG. Bring out FBI's Kalista and smash through botlane and stack dragons. GG has to snowball early game and run with it and Kalista is their best chance once Caitlyn is banned.
  • Ah.. GG just needed to not contest the early game but I guess it's not their playstyle to play for scaling. Spica stepping up huge this game.
  • Tim Sevenhuysen: Broken Blade + Spica equipped to hard-win top side 2v2, love to finally see it.
  • TSM's best games are when they snowball topside - true since Spring. Keeping botlane even in utility vs utility matchup is key so FBI has lower impact.
  • Tim: Yep. Nice of TSM to realize that, and nice of GG to give them that kind of bot lane matchup.
  • GG don't really have a choice once Caitlyn is banned - the remaining ADCs in the meta are utility except for Kalista. Would love to see FBI's Kalista and hard smash botlane.

Invert (Assistant Coach for Dig):
  • In response to Shakarez questioning Rakan into Leona: People who are good at rakan and go unflinching or legend tenacity and mercs often say they think the matchup is good for rakan. Early you must play safer but later in the game it definitely seems like rakan has a lot of value when I've watched the matchup

  • Everyone: TSM won draft.
    • Nemesis: This is the worst draft I've ever seen from Golden Guardians.... I would tell the coach NO if he told me to pick Syndra there. I will pick AD champ.
    • LS: TSM will pull off the reverse sweep.

  • Renekton just had to stand on the lantern, he had one job. (bot dive ~4min)
  • LS: TSM are down 700 but they're actually ahead because of the value of their champs at this point (~7)
  • Nemesis/LS: From watching both supports play, Treatz is better.
  • Crownshot: The only way that GG win is through bot, why not just play safe and give up the tier 1 turret??? Also pick Thresh instead of Bard. Way safer. (~11min)
  • It'll be fine because GG inted draft. Syndra with Kennen. TSM all have mercs now.
  • It's over TSM have won. Draft win and TSM are ahead in gold. (Kill Syndra mid)
  • Why would you Bard ult the drag when ur jungler is going in to steal???

Tim Sevenhuysen:
  • The drake misplay is going to overshadow the entire rest of the game, when the focus is better spent on celebrating huhi, FBI, and Closer IMO. #LCS
  • Commenter: You think Closer should get props? I feel like he was super underwhelming for what the perceived jungle gap should've been. A lot of people were arguing him for 1st or 2nd team All-Pro and Spica as one of the worst in the league. If anything, I feel like Spica should get props.
  • Closer did some good things, with the tools available. Spica is way better than a lot of people seem to think. He just has to play a very self-sacrificial role most of the time. I loved seeing TSM give him more to work with games 4 and 5.
IWD:
  • I predicted a TSM victory, but that was not at all how I thought it would go down, god damn what a series!
  • Excel Caedrel: TSM 100% winrate since I tune in .. coincidence? I think not

POST GAME INTERVIEW IN COMMENTS.

I reached the character limit for posts lol.
submitted by ImLegacys to TeamSolomid [link] [comments]

I ran an experimental Twitter marketing challenge where I asked my audience to reach a certain amount of interactions so I could order a cake of a character and eat it on livestream. Here's how that went.

I ran an experimental Twitter marketing challenge where I asked my audience to reach a certain amount of interactions so I could order a cake of a character and eat it on livestream. Here's how that went.

A lovely cake with Gad's handsome visage on it
Hi IndieDev! First time posting here, and I hope that this is on-topic and of interest. At least in the usual circles I run in, marketing is seen as this huge and scary thing that no one wants to touch, which is why I'm hoping to show my peers that it can be fun.
Disclaimer: I'm relatively new to marketing myself so my interpretation of analytics may not all be thorough. I'm heavily inspired by the work of Victoria Tran (previously with Kitfox Games [Lucifer Within Us, Boyfriend Dungeon], now with InnerSloth [Among Us]) and MikomiKisumi (Crystal Game Works [Enamored Risks, Alice In Stardom], Studio Élan [Heart of the Woods]).
So a bit of backstory: I work full time in a retail grocery store (the bakery department, to be exact) and do indie game development in my spare time when my mental health allows me to. I mostly work on visual novels, though I hope to branch out to other types of games when I can learn some other engines and programming languages. Earlier this year, Only One of Any Asset visual novel jam ran for a week (May 9-16 2020) and was an excellent chance for many creators to create a small game under the heavy restrictions. I was part of a 3 person team that included myself, Coda, and NiAsobu, and together we developed This Life Escapes Me. Though the jam was incredibly small and not advertised so much out of a single Discord server, TLEM managed to capture some attention from those outside of that community and place Coda on the map as a skilled character artist and narrative designer.
Marketing TLEM after development was mostly on me. I made an announcement on Twitter which has 29 RTs and 24 Likes as of this writing, and we received a fair amount of positive feedback on the game both in the itch.io comments section and in private. Initially, TLEM was never meant to be more than a portfolio piece to demonstrate Coda's proficiency in art and writing, but a combination of the encouragement and love we received and the numerous memes I made about our dear friend Gad endeared the concept to her so much that she decided to make the oft-requested prequel that our fans wanted.
Which brings us to about a week ago now on December 4, 2020. While at the day job I received an odd cake order request that inspired me to propose a novel marketing idea to Mikomi.
What do you think about having a twitter followeinteraction challenge where if X amount of RTs and Likes happen, the account owner orders a cake of their characters
After some explanation I managed to get her to keyboard smash, which surely meant that I was on the right track. Not long after, I made my tweet.
Don't mind the fact that I'm a Type II Diabetic. We had to do this- for science!
The tweet got a burst of activity as soon as it went up. Something so ridiculous had to capture everyone's attention, and I think I did a pretty good job of it. Contrary to what everyone thought though, this wasn't an excuse to eat cake. I had 3 goals in mind when I posted this:
  1. Raise awareness that a prequel to TLEM was in development
  2. Get Coda some more followers on her Twitter account
  3. Test the viability of novelty marketing like this for a niche product
Unfortunately, there were several factors working against us:
  1. The post went up at about 8:30PM EST, where social media activity is not at its highest
  2. TLEM never had a proper hashtag, so introducing a new one (#TheCorpseLieutenant) didn't do much in terms of discovery
  3. Most interactions were from other gamedevs
Activity on the tweet died down after 3 days or so when the challenge ran for a total of 5 days. I did my best to try for organic interactions but I inevitably got picked up by 2 bots, and the tweet ended up with 33 total RTs+Likes.
With the prophecy fulfilled, I went to order the cake at my day job. I wanted to import the photo we agreed to use into the cake printer itself but that didn't work, so I had to print the image out on regular paper. I may or may not have sent a copy of Gad to the pharmacy (the pharmacist I spoke to said they didn't hear about any mysterious handsome men in their documents), but I did have one of the dudes working in the frozen department inquire about who he was. I used this chance to tell him about TLEM, and he was impressed and excited to see the cake. When I got to my department, my co-worker largely parroted the same questions which I answered cordially. The next day would be when the cake was ready.
What a delicious man.
Two different co-workers were here and they asked a few more in-depth questions such as:
  • Did you draw this? ("No, my friend the artist did.")
  • So the programmer made him? ("No, my friend did. I just put the pieces together so people could play the game.")
  • Can I play this on my phone? ("No, but it is playable in your browser and you don't need to download anything.")
  • So you really made a game in a week? ("Yes, and we're working on the prequel!")
I don't know if any of them will go out and play TLEM, but I did leave this wonderful note at the day job and I hope my boss hasn't taken him down.
I hope he can watch over me in that wretched place.
Despite my saying that I would only livestream myself serving the cake at 35 notes, my friends encouraged me to do so anyway. You can watch the VOD here, which is a little over an hour and a half of me rambling about some of this stuff and doing silly things. Admittedly, I know absolutely nothing about streaming and Twitch so forgive the freezing webcam feed.
So now, what do the itch.io analytics look like for TLEM itself?
Activity seems to coincide with the initial cake post...
But most referrals are from itch.io itself?
There's unfortunately not a real way to track whether some of these new views are from my co-workers, but I'd like to think some of them are. I'll check in with them tomorrow to ask.
Still, bear in mind the actual goals of this challenge. Coda did gain a few followers, and for an incredibly small game, I'm rather satisfied with the results.
Not shabby imo.
The finer details.
The cake itself was $13.99, though I've not yet had the chance to play with paid Twitter ads so I don't know how to compare the effectiveness of this challenge to a more traditional marketing campaign. I get the feeling that having a significant following on a larger game would garner more attention than a small thing like this.
Would I personally do this again? Absolutely. Hell, if you hire me full time so I can quit my retail job, I'll smash my face into the cake no matter what.
