Group Rewatch S6E1: RFW1 420OG vs 10kMC episode 1
Welcome to season 6 of the Group Rewatch, hosted by me! I apparently have been elected to share some early Race for Wool with you, which is a 4v4 competitive map created by Vetches, in which the first team to complete their victory monument wins. My previous assertion that this would all be in the Direct Fire map was false: this first match I'm showing is in the first map: Hostilities Begin, and will be between Team 420OG and Team 10kMC.
Episode 1:
Team 420OG: Avidya | Coestar | BdoubleO | Guude
Team 10kMC: Mhykol | SimpleGamerz | Dewtroid | MC Gamer (did not upload)
The episodes are all close to 30 minutes long (except Dewtroid's perspective, as she edited things down rather heavily this episode), so watching one perspective from each team would equal our usual one hour of footage. Is this good, or will the overall pace be too slow? There's about 5 matches, each at 3 or 4 episodes, so I guess it depends on how long we want this season to go.

Thero shows off her paranoia!
Neither of us have touched it since yesterday and I swear it wasn't on when I'd gone through while she was out to make hot chocolate. She swears she never touched it. Either it's been on all day and night without us noticing (highly doubtful since she stood right by it while folding clothes from the tumble dryer and I've been in and out making hot chocolate) or it turned on by itself or something.
I'm utterly terrified of house fires so finding that hob on when mum could have walked off and went to bed without knowing it was on is just really frightening to me. I'm paranoid about a fire starting so spotting that just has made me afraid to sleep in case something happens, stupid as it sounds.
-hug- Thanks.

It occurs to me, after watching the episode, that perhaps a little more explanation is needed for people unfamiliar with Race for Wool. I believe the Hostilities Begin map was originally designed for 2v2, and in my tracking down the links for this post, I did come across some 2v2 matches: 420 vs OOG and Team Meat vs Team 10k Cupcakes. Those teams then fused into the two teams we see now. It's worth noting this because you could tell from the commentary that they've played this map before, which I found somewhat jarring jumping into now, especially since it's my first time seeing this particular match. Perhaps it would have been worthwhile to go through the 2v2 footage, just for orientation sake, but both matches were really long; I can only assume, having not seen that footage before, that 2v2 was not an effective configuration for this map, so they did teams of four instead. In any case, I expect the first match in Direct Fire will feel more "newcomer friendly," as it will be the player's first time being exposed to the second map.
