Guild Wars 2

Helseth made this vod commentary of 2 games in the monthly ESL GO4 finals which I think is really useful for a mesmer that is new to PvP to see how you play properly as well as to a veteran mesmer. He explains a lot of the things which most people don’t catch on official streams but actually impact the game a lot.
If you’re having troubles using your portal and moa well (which isn’t too straightforward often) I think you will learn a lot from this regarding those two things. Also it has a lot of good information for anyone who wants to compete on high level, no matter which class.
Watch it here

I watched this after the tournament, it just goes to show how much of the big plays the casters miss. Most of the things they say are obvious (this guy is being killed/ressed by this guy) but miss all the portal plays and unconventional rotations.

I’m not surprised that Helseth was angry about the casters overracting to Honey placing down 2 CCs (which even the noobiest of staff eles would have done) and completely missed the more important portal play.

That was too painful to continue watching. I pulled the rip cord before 10 minutes.

No matter you like him or not, his stream is simply one of the best out there with a lot f things you can learn from here and there.

Such commentary play is really needed not only for mesmer players but for pvp players in general. It helps great deal to understand the game better and enjoy it more.

Watched it live. Definitely great analysis. The one time him and Texbi were commentators for pug quest was both entertaining and educational. Of course we will never see anything like that again lol.

I understand that shoutcasting is mostly about calling out what is happening rather than deep analysis. Perhaps someone who is knowledgeable about high level strategy would make a youtube channel dedicated to analyzing past matches.

Yishis style pvp commentary with slow time and everything would be amazing. Helseth is indisputably an excellent player, and as far as I’m concerned very entertaining. perhaps QQmore.net could cover tactics in interviews with top players, or even in a series.

it’s a hard game, and the community could really do with some improvement. I would like to hope that more resources could improve this.

it’s called cancelling skills. it’s something I’m still working on, but it improves your play vastly. it’s not an exploit, all top players do it.

i know that eles lighting whip got nerfed so you cant cast+cancel and get the heal anymore
i dont know if mesmer autoatack was nerfed, if not its absolutly the norm to do it to maximize your dmg

and about helseth, he is one of the most entertaining streamers to watch , phantaram is also great but nothing beats it when helseth is cursing texbi in a second and the other second praise him about a good play, i cant stop laughing while watching him

I thought I was decent at that game, and then I watched this video. I now feel like the filthiest of peasant before the magnificent Lord Helseth.

Amazing portal and all that get noticed was the Static..lmao.^^ Thx for sharing this
