Match video: Feedback welcome

[UpSideDownCarl]

And, I have to be honest, I did not make a comment about what TT_Rogue said earlier because I wanted information that would be useful to OP to come across. But in my first comment I said almost all the same things TT_Rogue said. I just said them in as nice a way as possible. I had thought of explaining that TT_Rogue is also a coach and that English is not his first language.

I felt continuing the discussion about what TT_Rogue said would be a diversion and would probably not help the OP. But the technical information that TT_Rogue presented was all actually pretty good information. The only thing people actually had an issue with was how TT_Rogue said what he said. But the information was actually pretty good.

And remember, in the title of the thread is a bold statement: FEEDBACK WELCOME. If that is really the case, the content of what TT_Rogue has said should be understood for what it is.

I kinda understand where TT-Rogue's coming from. I've got scolded at like this plenty of times by my old coaches.
It kinda works in real life. Actually I played my best season with the strictest coach, but I'm not so sure, if this also works on the Internet...
But as he said: the intention wasn't to be insulting but to show up the weaknesses he's spotted.
Us germans might sometimes come across a little rough.
Just to give you an idea: there is a german phrase, that goes like:
Net g'schimpft is Lob gnug.
Meaning: not to scold has the same worth as a praise does. (Rough translation)

When I see feedback expressed in terms of 'wtf', 'bitch', 'dafuq', and 'bro' - I am beginning to question someone's credentials as a coach and their ability to, shall we say, communicate effectively.

I get it that english is not TT_Rogue's native language - and as a hint, not that many people in the US call each other 'bros'. Hope you also understand that you can be direct in your criticism without being obnoxious, especially to someone you never met (would you call them 'bitch' to their face? I'd like to see what happens next...)

P.S. As long as we are talking about stereotypes, Germans are mostly famous for their engineering and infamous for their sense of humor. Being direct in their criticism I usually associate with British.

Well, I really don't like playing the advocate and I think TT-ROGUE is old enough to speak for himself, but Terms like wtf or the other samples could be due to platforms like FB, Twitter, or Instagram and in fact the term 'bro' is quite commonly used by german kids&adulescents. So i wouldn't put too much weight on that.
I do think like in many other languages there is also a big difference between spoken language and written language, and not everyone's really familiar with that or has a dictionary next to him while writing comments.
I also heard that coaches from other countries also do not send roses with their words trying to win kindness awards.
But what I actually wanted to say is, that his words probably weren't meant to sound as harsh as they came across. In fact, as carl's pointed out so nicely: if you filter the negativity to extract the blank information, tt_rogue's comment carries nearly the same information as carl's does. He just said it in a different way.
But I agree, the way how you say things can be important.

Time for another german phrase:
Der Ton macht die Musik.
Meaning: it depends a whole f***ing lot, how you say things.

Have a lovely day, TTD Members.

I played in a small tournament over the weekend where I got second-to-last place. Watching this video, taken by my opponent, you'll see a ton of little mistakes that just mount quickly. He and I are both about the same level in ability but he doesn't make nearly as many mistakes as I do. I think there were ways I could have even won this match especially after taking game two but I rushed too much and did a million other things wrong.

EDIT: I'm in the black sleeveless shirt.

Yay! A video to watch
But why in gods name did you slow it down so much?
There is already a speed regulator contained in the youtube player.
