Creating a Demo Review Routine

Effective demo review requires structure. After every 5-10 matches, dedicate 45-60 minutes to reviewing 1 match. Watch the entire match, noting: your death patterns (where do you die most?), positioning mistakes, utility errors, decision-making failures. Identify 2-3 concrete improvements to focus on next session.

Death analysis: watch each of your deaths. Could you have pre-aimed better? Should you have held different angle? Did you have information about enemy? Was the duel impossible or winnable? Understanding why you died teaches you to avoid those situations. Many deaths are preventable through better positioning or information gathering.

Positional analysis: compare your positioning to pros playing same role. Are you positioned differently? Why? Is their positioning superior? Can you replicate their positioning? Professional demos teach optimal positions for various situations. Studying positions is more valuable than studying mechanics.

Document improvements: write down specific improvements from your demo review. "I die holding A short because I'm too close to the edge. Next session, hold tighter to cover." Specific, actionable improvements are more valuable than vague observations. Review these notes before future matches to reinforce learning.
