I'm preparing for my second tournament next saturday. First one exactly a year ago I didn't make it out of pools, which I expected. I'm much much much better now (I had been playing for about 3 months), but obviously have next to no tournament experience. I've only ever played people significantly better than me 3-4 times (curse you midwest), although my school friends and I play a few times a week.
I don't expect to do well by any means, but I'm a pretty smart person that learns fast, and I want to do as well as I can.
What should I do to prepare?
I've been practicing getting tech reads, fixed my spacing and mixups on shields and am paying attention to forcing favorable situations/positioning when I'm playing with my friends. I should have shine OoS consistent by tomorrow or the day after. I can do most of the other bread and butter stuff no problem, shine OoS is just tricky for some reason.
Um, I'm also experimenting with lasers, like blunted_object vs. mango stuff.
