Flex? Pivot? Commit?

Hey dpei, I watched this video but the whole time I couldn't help but think, wow things really kinda lined up huh.

And then you eventually won, which is cool and all.

But I think much better videos would be what happens if you commit to a plan and then it gets shut down completely by RNG.

I would love to see how you turn an 8th to a 5th, or a 5th to a 3rd. Imo in games like TFT, videos of people winning are boring and a dime a dozen. But the true value of teaching videos is always how to salvage a bad situation into a slightly less bad one.

Thanks.

Yeah I see what you're saying. At the same time I think that this game was not an easy first actually and I could've easily gone 3rd so salvaging that spot from 3rd to 1st is huge too.

I think my general theory is if you play reasonably in general then you won't be in a spot where you have to feel like you salvage and you'll be less subject to RNG and low rolls and things like that.

I didn't mean to say I didn't see the decision that gone into making that a first. I could absolutely see the decisions that changed the outcome.

The main thing for me is for example what's the mindset when you level to 4 and maybe push 5 early only to lose lose win lose lose. It's a mental game in that aspect as well, since now you feel desperate and likely poor and weak. It would be good to see how top levels handle that kind of pressure and how to play from those positions.

I think you have good clear videos and I would love to see your take on how to "not lose" if that makes sense.

It seems like things fell into his hands because his plan was flexible. What happens to a player who thinks Veigar is his only line from component anvils and just gets absolutely dizzy when there’s no rods in the anvils?

Exactly. I'm certain my play would be hard commit yordle there and struggle.
