Top 1 EU vs Top 1 NA - BEST Players fighting each other

[@LionHGH]

Bars "if opponent does lightsie, you parry lightsie" Me: Got it! Also me: "Defeat!"

[@Sam-A]

Cheers to Blitss, he had good rounds . and in the middle seemed to be onto something when he won his 5th. He did recognize that he needs to improve his under pressure gameplay, and that's certainly a step forward for him. Thanks for sharing the video, was fun and educational to watch.

[@BarakYEET]

How much do you value educational content? Like I am trying to find a nice ratio between entertainment and educational.

[@NDO6]

@@BarakYEET educational content on top, for me at least

[@WlSXGE]

@@BarakYEET I feel like short educational videos along with duel related videos are more interesting to me

[@Sam-A]

@@BarakYEET I don't know how to answer this question to be honest, I believe it comes down to what you mean, If by educational you mean videos like : TOP 10 Settings EVERYONE Should Know then yeah, that one was surely useful, I've enjoyed it and benefited from it. Most of your videos however have educational content already impeded within the gameplay. you're a comp player and so naturally your experience affects how you play and that's by itself educational as well as entertaining. I think in most of your subscriber's head, Barak is the friendly/fun comp player and so things like: fun, educational and entertaining are all intertwined in the identity of this channel.

[@Wird97]

@@BarakYEET absolutely do, educational content is really nice to have

[@drip_gami458]

This video had so much technical knowledge in it. I always enjoy watching your videos because the comp players always know the small tidbits

[@kzl8980]

Can't wait for the rematch. Awesome duel, and great commentary

[@UsemyTipz]

Barak, can me and you have a friendly duel one time? I’ve fought against Antonio, Normie and some others over some time but I’ve never came across you before and idk how. I’m pretty much top 10 GM each season too so I’m surprised we haven’t met. Would be fun.

Hey. I am planning on making an open duel challenge either this weekend or next weekend. Join my discord and I'll ping exactly when it happens. Or alternatively, follow me on twitter where I will also announce it!

[@AlkalineAwakening]

[@el_slender]

Thats crazy but when's the best neutral offense tier list?

[@BarakYEET]

In the future. Have Dominion & Duel tier list to cover first.

[@NDO6]

I love that you are showing other top tier players on your channel!

[@1blueeye]

Holy shit Normie 😳 absolute monster. Great editing Barak, commentary is always enjoyable and informative, insights into the mindgames of great players is very entertaining for me. Now that i think about it, I think if you went over of your most memorable dominion games and did commentary that would be top tier content. Even matches when you were on Warlord, how you defend against gank setups, how you coordinated to gank successfully, why the team rotated at different times, what mistakes you and opponents make. Live commentary is great but when you can pause the match and explain why each team behaves certain ways that would be something unique!

[@BarakYEET]

I need to make some sort of commentary over my 4v4 videos but I really have to figure out a format. Also I need to bring back FH Academy where I reviewed viewers gameplay

[@1blueeye]

@@BarakYEET honestly sometimes simple is better - maybe start with a map of one of your mvp maps and just play the KZbin video and discuss over it with facecam in corner. You can slow the video down to .25 or .5 speed to show important moments and arrow keys to rewind or skip ahead. It may seem like lazy or recycled content - but the fact is that there is nobody who has provided pro level competitive review and analysis over their gameplay. Clutchmeister casting the lcq was the closest next to hearing your live comms. At least that would be an easy way to start and would be something new, and gives more content for you to put out and us to watch. Choosing the best maps would be the tricky part but I'm sure you could do it in no time. Just some thoughts- take care!

[@BarakYEET]

​@@1blueeye I'll do it. It's just starting that is hard but I think over time, I can develop a very good series.

[@soulbender1987]

Normie uses a method very similar to a term we have in fighting games called "fuzzy guarding" not exactly the same because fuzzy guarding generally doesn't use any bit of reaction and he's reacting to side heavy flash. Fuzzy guarding is basically an option select where u cover both options of a 50/50 when one of the options is slower than the other option. So say one option is slower u block the faster option for a sec than block the other option. I believe this is a tech only used in games like mortal kombat but idk normies method really reminds me of this

[@elion5721]

Normie have to win a lot of 1v1 against him or/and win with MM a lot because with this toxic interview, if he loses it would be very very humiliating... And BTW, Barak is Now a Book Maker xD

[@Melancholy308]

glad to see the regular duel videos!! more pls

THE INTROOOO ROUND 1 BABYYYY

[@candycorn-]

he just sounds so happy and energetic

[@the-avg-man]

I feel like if Blitss and Normie played 10 matches = 100 rounds, Normie would probably win 8 times outta 10. I was rooting for Blitss but I feel like Blitss is a pure reaction player and just did not adjust to making reads. Normie DID that, how I saw it, Normie first just played by reaction but then after like the 8th round he started making reads and actively made reads with reaction while Blitss wasn’t adjusting to par. Just my opinion tho.

[@bllitss]

Actually the reason I lose was because I started not trusting reactions. I’m very bad under pressure, and start not trusting in my reactions. You’ll see when I started losing I made too many dodge reads, and light interrupts which in this matchup just won’t fly. I ate so many storming taps, ate too many heavies. This isn’t the first time this has happend, I have done this many times even in clutchs colosseum. Was winning against a JJ like 8-4 then he came back I lost, was winning against toet, he was playing warden I was on bp, it was like 9-6, match point to me and he came back I lost. Was winning against Bean, 9-5 I was warden he was TG Conq, he came back, I lost. I start to get nervous and don’t trust reactions and throw rounds. My best character in duels is actually warden believe it or not, a read based char, I just don’t play him a lot because raider and ara are kind of aids to play with warden because of defensive options with ara, and damage with raider. My buddy keltic, who I acknowledge as probably the number 1 read player in 1v1s loses raider mirrors against me because of reactions. There are definitely reads in the matchup but it’s mostly reaction based matchup.

[@TheBlackFox-]

Nomie seems to share a problem that many people of the community have, which is an ego problem.

[@benihana764]

[@BarakYEET]

[@Criiies]

Personally I hope that eventually this game becomes more read dependant at the top levels of play. I think reads are much more exciting than reactions.

[@noahfdc4547]

Fuck no.

[@treelectronica7868]

To the winner goes the spoils. It’s hard to be supportive of anyone who talks like Normie after a respectful game, but the kid isn’t wrong. Blitss had some momentum, then got absolutely slid by Normie. I didn’t see anything to suggest if it had been a different day, Normie would lose. I saw a clear skill gap from one player who is twice as likely to win in a perfectly balanced matchup (Raider v. Raider). GG no RE as far as I’m concerned.

[@WlSXGE]

bro... BRUH I literally fought normie on ps5 the other day and just thought, ay... hes a PC grandmaster so of course i lost 3-0 to him now i understand how honored i should have been even landing a light on him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
