I found this interesting blog that discusses the best way to watch a replay. The key points are listed below:
- Watch the replay BACKWARDS in steps.
- This allows you to know the outcome before you see the events unfold that lead to the outcome.
- Before you go to the timeline/ section before, you need to actively question yourself on how you think these events came about and what should have happened to change the outcome.
- You then go back a step in the replay and see what really happened.
- This is important because when you are watching the previous section you are able to analyse it in more depth and more critically evaluate what happened beforehand because you already know what is going to happen.
- Also, because it is less enjoyable to watch a replay backwards, you are able to focus on analysis and watching a timeline evolve rather than watching a cool battle unfold or whatever.
