EPTThe recent blog post by redtooth rekindled my interest in BW and since the season is just about to begin, I thought this might be a good time for me familiarize with the BW scene so that I am able to enjoy both the in-game (matches and matchup itself) and out-of-game aspects (potential race snipers and manager/coach decisions) as well.
Since I have little idea about teams/players themselves apart from the names, I decided to start looking up team and player histories and try to understand some of strength and weaknesses of the players/teams involved. This would allow me some insight on who are the Team aces, which player matchups are stronger for me and what is the preferred play-style and thus be able to enjoy
As I was studying this up, I made some notes for my own reference for a couple of the teams and since I think that there are at-least a few more people like me out there who are brand new to BW and would like to get to gain some idea about the teams and the players themselves without going into too much detail, I ended up making a couple of team summaries/previews. In the first team preview I am adding along with blog post, I have included the following:
1. Short team history
2. Team achievements
3a. 2010-11 season team record (Knowing what to expect based on last season)
3b. 2010-11 player records (Gauging player performance last season to study their strong/weak matchups)
4. Key players (Trying to learn about some of the popular players and Team aces)
I have been able to put together my first team summary/preview for the 2011-12 season for SKT T1 team. I have made a 2 page .pdf for my preview since I am too pedantic about formatting and was unable to format it properly in forum text. The link to the .pdf is:
SKT T1 PL Preview
The concept is still in barebones form and I would love to improve on both my format and content (content would be harder as I am not too well versed with the scene yet). So, any suggestions/ ideas/criticisms/comments would be most welcome. One idea that I am thinking of adding is having a 3rd page for fan hype or quotes but I am not sure how to get about getting that information.
