vod review www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmsV...

a moment where a flank gives up a zone cap for better positioning in the fight after, giving a free retake youtu.be/HudEeZ53GUY #compsplatoon

the game is ended when the zooka is used when the enemy team is forced to be in an unsafe position to contest zone youtu.be/cKVMHvCGQvY #compsplatoon

we hope this helps www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlRc... #compsplatoon

a push enabled through taking fights where opponents will not shoot back. for example, utilizing bubble as cover, going under grates where it's hard to shoot directly down, and using a block to hide preemptively after taking a potshot www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uHJ... #compsplatoon

playing from walls and behind cover to get a bubble on zone quickly and ensure a chance to cap youtu.be/BuqS7-Dpx1g #compsplatoon

getting bubble while staying safe and then watching for the enemy team to engage other players to sneak a bubble into mid www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-Cb... #compsplatoon

analyzing a situation where blop has 2 opposite ways to get back to mid, either by slowly painting or quickly moving, but a half-committment to both does not work www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhOp... #compsplatoon

youtu.be/M-bgo5fQpLk discussing a stalemate situation on haggle zones where stan needs to do something unique to try and break through, and why flanking is not the way to do that #compsplatoon

8th (t-7) in sq finale season 7 yay #compsplatoon

SQ finale w/ hdfg youtube.com/live/Y1-Sd_T... #compsplatoon

an example of thinking ahead when using bubble, which can be countered easily if used incorrectly. bubble is good against crab but a reefslider will kill the user, so zyf positions on box next to zone www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6s7... #compsplatoon

looking at when and where to bubble in a given tricky scenario may be more useful than a bubble that’s typically further up closer to enemies youtu.be/FrVoPd1six4 #compsplatoon

noticing that the enemies left their plat open, which gives a brief period to secure the win by bubbling plat and forcing the enemies into awkward positions youtu.be/D_aY9aEQOL8?... #compsplatoon

eevee experiences a severe lapse in judgment youtu.be/mbrG03POYt0 #compsplatoon

a demonstration of how quickly you can clear the whole map out and collapse on the enemy before they can respawns if they stray too far forward during a hold youtu.be/9x0jm3tXjnY #compsplatoon

trying to optimize sub use so that every sub used is for a reason; misuse not only drains ink, but also alerts people to someone being there youtu.be/qD-Ffa2C2iA #compsplatoon

stallling a spawn fight as a 1v1 and waiting for a path to mid (the rest of the enemy team got distracted by teammates' specials) youtu.be/I67Wj-1EDrI #compsplatoon

pushing up without specials after a lucky early kill, using specials after a teammate dies to let a teammate back in and blunt their momentum, and finally fully retreating after multiple teammates die www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HGf... #compsplatoon

recognizing a play that is all risk with no benefit, but instead of concluding not to take a risk, suggesting an alternative high risk high reward play youtu.be/LzXDjAf8OoQ #compsplatoon

the consequences of trying to attack an off-angle when there's no reason the opponents can't just turn and gang up on you youtu.be/OxzFXx-zAxU #compsplatoon

an example on when being patient and waiting out opposing specials and countering with your own can lead to an opportunity to run through youtu.be/hIyWzXKlNCs #compsplatoon

a demonstration of how to use leftover paint to rush down the enemy when they aren't expecting you, and then to slow the pace down and act as bait once they know where you are youtu.be/HeK1hoVMn0o

a demonstration of what happens when you reveal your cards too early when for something ambitious, it doesn't work out, and then you overcommit youtu.be/c92pT3X6SAk #compsplatoon

a sequence of small pushes forward, rotations, and disengages based on small gaps the enemy leaves open and how many teammates are up/go down youtu.be/h9xiK4WceUo #compsplatoon

a knockout hold where the enemy team uses all of their specials but fails to take their top left before stan takes it back, showing how that area can make or break retake on barnacle sz youtu.be/T1BMlP30m7w #compsplatoon

an example of finding an alternate disadvantage plan during review that considers why the plan will work despite what the enemy team can do in response youtu.be/GWkxQcw8qTw #compsplatoon

an example of when it should be clear that the enemy team is distracted by trying to panic cap the zone and using that as a go-ahead to start hunting for free kills to put them in an even worse situation youtu.be/zLIm8X1kjf8 #compsplatoon

a discussion of a situation where we aren't actually sure what the correct play is, or that there even is a "correct" way to play it, illustrating what a "playstyle" really is: choosing the risk-reward trade-offs you're comfortable with youtu.be/LNdCLlA4c5c #compsplatoon

a discussion on how blopwher might play in a more reliable and effective way on hold in hagglefish zones youtu.be/mZG3OAwMn_A #compsplatoon

ok guys we tried a little harder to make a real video vod of our 3-2 upset on moonlight from SQ finale now up on youtube like + repost to signal boost! www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2EF... #compsplatoon

showing that when a teammate makes a mistake, there is no rule that says that the team has to back off completely and regroup; being close but not close enough to die lets one take advantage of gamestate swings more easily youtu.be/eAeUHIkmShI #compsplatoon

the value of knowing exactly when one's position is revealed to enemies; slow swimming if they don't see a flank and getting out if they do see it youtu.be/OCzM7NlwKrA #compsplatoon

a strategic sacrifice of resources (bubble + eevee's life) to delay the dread's ability to go for zone cap, and then a disciplined disengage to secure the game youtu.be/kkC4jbwl23c #compsplatoon

we're looking into uploading some of our best tournament sets—is this of interest to ppl? we wanna up production quality a bit, so we'd like thumbnail help. if you have experience + too much free time (we can't rly pay...) + are interested please dm @ zyf_ on discord w/ a few examples of prior work

speeding up gameplay by identifying when to rotate out of a position that became useless (the enemy team won't run into shots for no reason) into a position that can threaten the enemy team again youtu.be/qQ4S7zhSjCI #compsplatoon

4th in ITZ 42 still cant beat the really good players lol we'll keep pushing ggs to all see you in tako x rank @blopwher.bsky.social - bamboos @splatana-stanp3r.bsky.social - stampers @funkyeevee.bsky.social - carbon/decav @zyfetc.bsky.social - jr #compsplatoon
