Content of article

I am in between 3 types of articles to write for my magazine, those being tournament/game analysis, comedic takes on the respective video game, or tips and tricks on how to play better.

Tournament/Game Analysis:

Example

Video games analysis has become increasingly popular in terms of media because for the most part, playing video games is all about analysis and logical thinking. However, the aspect of video game analysis that makes it so interesting, is "studying" different play styles that these players have and learning to adapt your own play style in real time. In this video, a professional SSB player, C9 Mang0, is analyzing a match that he played with one of his biggest competitors. In the video, he reviews retaliation options, as well as kill opportunities that may or may not have been smart.

Writing an article of video game analysis would be the easiest route for me, also the most fun. However, it would require me to attend multiple tournaments and follow certain SSB or LOL players that I find the most competent, which can be hard to do considering that I would have to see a match in real time.

Comedic Takes:

Example

Video games in a comedic perspective has been around ever since video games existed, however, it is extremely difficult to produce humorous content. It is also equally as difficult to commentate your own matches in a comedic way. This path is not very likely for me to take, but i would most likely find the most success if done so. In the path of much brucer/tank by dinado, I am not here to learn you how to play xin zhao. I hope you find much gg.

Tips and Tricks:

Example

Lastly, the alternative path that I could take is "teaching" readers how to play better. This is the easiest path for me to take because players learn and adapt after every match. I could easily compile the things that I learn, or the things that I have already learned into one article and publish that, but this route is not as fun. The downside to these types of articles are that they do not apply to every type of gamer due to  different play styles and the various mind games. Doing a tips and tricks article will not be as effective, but will be the easiest.
