post commentary is much better than live. the videos r more concise and the production quality is better. please keep doing post com!!

[@nathandts3401]

This is also the reason that livestreams suck. Edit out all the dead air.

[@stokeyellich6072]

Agreed!

[@FightFanFish]

Agreed !

[@Sponsie1000]

ehh, l feel like in a format like these you lose people's first reaction and original thought-process,, it's easy to say "l expected x and y" in postcom when you didnt actually thought about x and y in the heat of the moment during the battle. (not accussing anyone of lying, but if you post-record after a day or 2 you could misremember/forget what your exact thought-process was at the time right.) Also l feel like sometimes the tone/mood of the voice can give away whether it's a win or a loss,, it's hard to stay upbeat/impartial when you know damn well that you made some misplays and you're gonna lose the battle for them. Also l feel more suspense during a live-com compared to a post-com battle, but that might just be personal preference. Again, no shade towards haydunn or anyone in particular, l just feel like these things are pretty significant drawbacks to post-com. Though l agree that postcom has the advantages of being more concise and structured, and Hayden is way more comfortable with post-com since most of his content is post-com, so it's really no problem if he decides to do post-com for the rest of the season, l just wanted to share some arguments for the other side of the debate :]

[@tourtvhd]

I agree. Keep it like this please.

[@RobTibbetts92]

Hell yes! Loved when you used to do this kind of content. Also just a general comment to add : as a long term viewer since your Gen 4 days, it’s so awesome to see your channel popping off again !

[@jacksonsense91]

LFG!! Your last competitive draft league a few years ago were some of your best videos of all time. I can't wait!!

[@danperkins4781]

So hyped to see you there man. In my eyes you and Joey are the true OGs of this community.

The Chesto was lowkey a big clutch too. It was for Darkrai as you say but damn… instrumental in setting up their win. Love these matches though.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

You and Shady both being back makes me incredibly stoked.

[@hoopoloatucd]

See haydunn, click haydunn!

[@patt3rs358]

So glad you’re part of the SPL! Love this kind of content! Good luck!

[@dbzman01]

Hell yea brother lets gooo!! Love watching your draft battles, I absolutely loved the Let's Go draft league. Its really great seeing your creativity shine!

[@cydashlee]

When I saw you joined the SPL, I lost my freaking mind! Haydunn, you did great and with your amazing and very cool way of making teams, I know you'll do well. Just know we all rooting for you!!

[@xplpandas]

Haydunn in the SPL is gonna be great. Super excited for this!

[@blakespangler3111]

Dude this is awesome! I really like the post commentary, I think it works well

[@ktozy2149]

YOOO I love the draft leagues and seeing that you’re joining is honestly like a dream come true. I am so hyped!!

[@YGOcruzer67]

DUDE YES loved the last time you had draft content up on the channel. Rly shows off your battling skills & is different from your usual content, super cool to see it return!

[@TheClutchUDF]

Was pumped to find out that you joined Joey's draft league and were gonna play in this format! Tough week 1 but excited to see what you bring next week!

[@fpsRhythm]

Love that you got into a league and are continuing to expand your content. Congrats on moving forward sir.

[@FailurezProduction]

Very happy to see you back in one of these draft leagues! Super fun to see which teams emerge from the drafting and how you trainers are able to get them working together.

[@foolishcommenter]

Nice! I know it didn't go your way this time, but you drafted a smokin team and you still had some awesome plays. Can't wait to see more draft battles!

[@yorkdelloyd8646]

Love that you're on this draft league. Here's to many more battles!

[@icychiller5217]

Oh hell yea, I loved the previous draft leagues. Love seeing you still uploading, been watching since gen 4 wifi battles. i even used to make memes and send you them on facebook LOL

[@Snapdraco]

Great video as always! I believe post commentary is better for videos like this, and maybe for future weeks talk about what made you choose to bring which pokemon for that opponent, i would definitely be interested in that!

[@12MrZ21]

Kinda crazy that your opponent was able to draft 3 big threats in Ogrepon, Iron Bundle, and Great Tusk.

[@mattevans1643]

I’m sure he had the option to take one of the three, but opted for weaker Pokémon. I mean Darkrai is strong but it’s not these new mons.

[@C4PT41NSL1NKY]

some of the stuff that gets passed in draft is absolutely wild.

[@THEGRUMPTRUCK]

​@@mattevans1643Haydunn loves using weaker stuff. He did have the title of the UU King for a while.

[@Kisarez]

@@THEGRUMPTRUCK everyone has the same budget, it's not like he had points left.

[@Eroil]

Ogrepon isn't as good because it can't tera but yeah pretty crazy draft

[@TheRandyDeluxe]

Cant wait for week 2! I love your commentary cuz youre super knowledgable.

[@Haydunn]

week 2 is already up!

[@TehWhiteTiger]

I appreciate the explanation of the draft. This is the first draft series I've got into and every video I've watched so far has failed to explain the mechanics of the actual draft.

[@DanGaetta]

Bro, you were so close, so happy to see a great battle tought. Nice play, and I am exiting to see the next battle.

[@justsomeguy9335]

Great content as always your videos actually got me into pvp and it’s really fun

[@viniciusbarbosa5542]

So excited to see you in SPL Haydunn! Best of luck and have fun cuz we sure as hell will have fun watching your battles!

[@SayainHokage]

Great video man. Love the content keep doing what you do!

[@YoowlOwl]

I am SO excited to see the return of this tournament! Supet interesting set-up with the team and point distribution. Looking forward to the rest of this season ((:

[@alanaaugusto9374]

Love this, good luck in your next match!

[@jcook7408]

Yes! I can't wait to see how you do man! Good luck brother!

[@critic109]

I've always loved the draft but now that you're in it i know you can shake it up with your skills and variety. Following you through it bro love the videos forever a fan.

[@infra_r3d133]

This is the content I have been waiting for! LFG

[@HugeZorse]

I think this team needs some immediate offensive pressure. Nothing you can slap a specs or band on and blow holes to grab momentum

[@ZombieMushmom]

It's crazy to see you uploading draft again. Thanks for joining!

[@bossball76]

Excited you’re in this league. This will be awesome.

[@erosarias1431]

This is mad cool. Excited to see how this spans out

[@EvAnExTrEmE64]

Really hyped to see you playing in this league with 3 other people I’m subscribed to, lol

[@ReirMuchoProductions]

Man now I get to watch draft league games from both Haydunn and Joey every week. Let’s gooooooo

[@liamcullen3035]

I appreciate you sharing this match! Looking forward to the rest! ❤

This tourney is going to be maaaad entertaining, keep your head up and stay Ballon

[@Rozonkomo]

SPL has been on absolute fire with the folks it has brought in for the last few seasons. Looking forward to these games. So good to see Leo back.

[@Travissaur]

Colorado Rapidspins. That’s a great MLS inspired name haha. Love it

[@nickjonesb22]

This is sick. Well done Haydun I did say that before seeing you lost.. but love the content idea!

[@BroMontana25]

Bro fudge yes!!! I was really hoping you would hop back into the draft league scene!!! Hope to see some expert troll sets this season!!!

[@purupurpito]

I was on the edge of my seat. LOVED THIS VIDEO!

[@blueweak1]

You got some absolutely insane draft picks, wish you the best of luck this season

[@sammayer4]

Love your stuff!!!

[@Ebmxxx03]

I love this new channel's era! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@Sponsie1000]

Dont worry too much about results, it's your first week back and this matchup did seem really tricky! Looking forward to next week's match! :] It was unfortunate about the ChestoBerry, but l guess it does make sense that people might overprep against sleep due to your darkrai, though in this case idk if you could really expect specifically tinkaton to run it since it wouldnt outspeed darkrai and thus wouldnt be a switch-in and if you wait to hard-switch you mightve already put something else to sleep thus making chesto on tinka redundant. At 11:37, l wonder if it wouldve been a good mid-ground play to switch-in your slowking-G here. The obvious switches are gyara and glisc, so tusk would never go for a ground move. Tusk either goes for supercellslam or icespinner, either of with slowkingG takes with ease. You'd still need to switch again afterwards to either gliscor or gyara, but it lets you scout what your opponent would do without any drawbacks since regenerator would heal you back up to full (barring a crit)

[@triburst]

Yooo I didnt know you were in the league, LETS GO!

Bro! I loved this! You got the next one! The quick attack was crazy…

[@GamingGuyTy429]

1.) PLEASE keep the draft league content coming! Incredibly entertaining and close match! 🍿 2.) I personally would LOVE to see you do a live com, as most of your content is post com. It would add an interesting dynamic to the channel! 3.) Day 10 of asking Haydunn for doubles content 👀

I like the post commentary. Kudos for being willing to show off a game you lost. You played it well and I the commentary was very good. Would watch the rest of the series.

[@DarkShaman667]

Nice match. Looking forward to the next!

[@nolongeraperson]

What dafuuuqqq, Leodan team looking sweaty af.

[@naomiseadragon2676]

To be fair, your opponent had a lot of moves I didn't think they got like quick attack for orgerpon and supercell slam for great tusk. Really unexpected. I wish you luck in next week's battle!

[@FongBot]

Did this guy get the first 5 draft picks? Look at that team lol.

[@nolongeraperson]

That's what I'm saying 2 ubers and Great Tusk?!?

[@TheAngryBare]

Great Tisk getting Supercell Slam is nuts. Some mons are obviously Game Freak's favorite lol.

Good try, Haydunn! I really enjoyed the video and you got it next time 🙌

[@oberondargos5465]

Gonna need to see a list of those teams. Really like Rapidspinners, so extremely curious about others.

[@djbeedy]

This is awesome. Where can the casuals do this? Seems like a ton of fun

[@jolteonplays3019]

hey, I know that in this draft you are the coach and it's up to your choice, but I think on jolteon, one of the weeks you can run specs. Tera if a fairy move is needed and you can get momentum with volt switch with a ton of power

[@macriggland6526]

Choice Band Sylveon clicks double edge for that surprise KO. Has priority fairy quick attack, too. Good luck bruv

[@Cyrath89]

Dude, awesome picks!

[@rogernemeciii2637]

I've really loved watching your videos and has helped me do better with competitive and allowed you to show me how to use unthinkable pokemon, so and I thought of my own with my favorite pokemon being torterra shell smash with simple latios, I hope you can make a video on it and that would be wonderful thanks

[@TomX117]

As an actual Kings fan, I've been waiting for the return of the Sacramento Seakings for I dont even know how long now but hey, the Rapidspins logo is pretty slick. Excited to see a return to this format. Draft league is such a cool idea. The sport-like nature of it really separates it from standard competitive formats in such an interesting way

[@jakemoore5064]

Tough loss, I know it’s a risk but I think knowing they would either go ice move or electric move when you had in goodra, you should have pulsed. They are unlikely to click quake as it only punishes one of the 3 while it’s useless to the other too, and the opponent was ahead so they couldn’t afford the passive play and give up moment when the odds weren’t good. Love your content and was so excited to see you back in the draft format, really hope to see some more aggressive plays in the future.

[@Haydunn]

Appreciate the support bro, and definitely right on that. My next few matches also do not go well as I’m certainly ass at draft LOL def don’t get the hopes up but I’m tryin my best for sure

[@jakemoore5064]

@@Haydunn I don’t think you give yourself enough credit you’re a good battler, but I bet if you reach out to Emvee or other coaches they will help you out. I struggled a lot with drafting in league too.

Tough game man, 6fthax brought the heat (ice?) this round but you still played as well as you could
