PvP Guide for Newbies - Map Awareness

Hey guys,
I’ve come up with another PvP guide video designed to help newer pvp’ers out at improving. Some of my previous videos include the Stomping series which helps teach players about the various downed state skills of each profession and how to counter them when attempting a stomp.

The playlist for the Stomping Guides can be found here at
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAhX2Vt8fhBZclmnw3k8GvNBZx-zWW8cH
From there you can navigate to whichever profession you’re specifically looking for.

My new Map Awareness video can be found here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fyj1r5GahjM

The intent behind this video is to help those in solo queues to communicate and make firmer decisions based on the current situation their team may find themselves in through the use of the minimap and other means. Should I push far? Is that guy at home okay by himself? Where is that enemy thief? etc.

In tandem with this video I have the opportunity to give back to you guys, promote the youtube channel and get some feedback. Massive props to ARENANET for providing me with gem codes for you guys. I’m new to doing giveaways through youtube so this will most likely change in the future, however here is how this giveaway will function.

I’ll be doing giveaways for THREE lots of 800 gems via gem codes.
To be eligible you have to be subscribed and comment on the “Map Awareness” video.
In a week’s time I’ll draw the three winners ( you can’t win more than once ) and announce the winners on youtube and via twitter. I will PM you the gem codes through youtube. Winners will be drawn randomly.

I’d thoroughly appreciate any feedback on other ideas you guys would like to see and how I can improve. Have a great day everyone!

Awesome! Having in-game examples of what you’re talking about is incredibly helpful. I just feel like I wanted more than 1 example per talking point though!
