Hey there, I noticed that you mentioned me in your posts.
First of all, thanks a lot. I highly appreciate it 👍
I would bring up one suggestion though if you dont mind.
You always write "go check @... players last battles to see what i mean"
And here comes my suggestion -> it would 1000% elevate the quality of your posts if you would just link the battles in here. The reason for this is simple, that way your posts are also valid one day / one week / one month after you posted it.
Because I play a lot of battles a day and also tournaments so if you write check out the battle history those battles might not be there any more (even just a few hours after you post)
Thats it, take it or leave it. Just wanted to share my 2 cents
Keep on posting, looking forward to more battle-analysis (hopefully with some battle-links included so I can comprehend what you mean) 😊
Voted on behalf of the Neoxian city paper. Thanks for the useful tips.
