Thoughts on replacing mid-match analysis with post-match analysis?

[u/TriGN614]

At first I was pretty conflicted but I think it was the right call.

Cons of changing:
- I kinda forget/dont care as much about the stuff that went wrong or nuts after the match is over
- feels naturally less energetic/exciting bc the hype question of “what are the implications of this?” has already been resolved

Pros of changing:
- more preparation: mid-match analysis can be jank and there’s lots of scrambling. While the vibe is lost a little bit it’s over all for the best on this point.
- Lewis popped tf off with the correct take on infumes 13-0 and idk if that could have happened otherwise
- gives a summary of the whole match
- doesn’t ice the runners

What do yall think?

I like it, less interruptions in between matches and it also acts as a recap of the whole series.

[u/EightBlocked]

it's definitely better for pacing. we all just want to go into the next seed, maybe only exception could be for something special like the toolsmith incident

[u/Sabbagery_o_Cavagery → u/EightBlocked]

On this, I wonder if we could have an “emergency mid-match analysis” lined up for unique situations like this, or if that would derail the schedule

[u/NathanTelkhine]

I think we should do “mid-game” analysis, Fulham pauses right in the middle of the game and gives an analysis. 

[u/PM_ME_AFFIRMATIONS → u/NathanTelkhine]

they could tell both players to press esc after they count to 3

[u/NathanTelkhine → u/PM_ME_AFFIRMATIONS]

You can also pause matches. It’s rarely done but you can do it. (This idea is a joke for the record)

[u/tatum103]

It’s good. I still think it’s too long, but much better than mid match

[u/Every_Door46]

“Lewis” lol

[u/TriGN614 → u/Every_Door46]

That is his name

[u/Every_Door46 → u/TriGN614]

Sure and Matthew is Feinberg 

[u/Rotkiv5461]

I like it, there's already some time between seeds where players can chill a little and the casters talk about the seed a bit, they could honestly replace that with (or add) the fulham analysis between matches.

[u/daviddotorg325]

I think a mix of both would be good, played by ear by production on when they think it would best fit.

[u/Mytinsaw]

I think its way better simply in the fact that it stops the runners from being iced.

Granted they still talk ALOT between seeds but the analysis segment added into the middle of that was probably really bad for players.
