Waching daily Jul 14 2017

Hello everybody my name is Raxef, and today I want to talk with you about the Mythic Dungeon

Invitational.

Now, what exactly is that?

Well, a couple days ago Blizzard made the announcement that they are going to be hosting

a global competition where teams can come together and compete to figure out who is

the champion of the Mythic Plus Dungeon.

Now starting July 25th to August 8th, teams of players are going to be able to push Mythic

Dungeons as hard and as fast as they can to get the highest scores and the highest possible

level of keystones.

At the end of that two week period they are going to be submitting their scores for their

top five dungeons to Blizzard.

Now Blizzard is going to be sorting through all of this data and picking eight teams of

five players from the four major regions, which are the Americas, Europe, China, and

Asia-Pacific.

Now what these thirty-two teams are going to be doing is come mid-September they are

going to be competing within their own regions across two weekends with one day for each

of those weekends dedicated to that particular region.

So for the first weekend in that mid-September match up is gonna be China and Asia-Pacific.

With the second weekend it's gonna be America and then Europe for that final day.

Now how are these playoffs are gonna be working?

It's basically a single-elimination bracket in a best-of-three rounds.

Now what is a round?

Basically, when the two teams go head-to-head Blizzard is gonna be picking a Mythic Dungeon

for those two teams to run at the same time, and whichever team can complete that dungeon

the fastest wins that round.

Now this single-elimination bracket is going to continue until their are eight teams left;

two teams from each of the four major regions.

Now once we have those eight teams, there's going to be a Finals in late-September, which

happens over one weekend.

It's going to be the same format as the Playoffs with that single-elimination bracket, however

instead of it being inter-regional, it's going to be cross-region.

So you're gonna have America versus China, and you're gonna have Europe versus Asia-Pacific

and so on and so forth, and this going to continue until we at last have our winner!

Now what is the prize for this competition?

Well, Blizzard has announced so far that there is gonna be a $100,000 prize pool, split between

the top three teams, with first place receiving $50,000.

So that comes out to $10,000 for each player.

So that pretty much sums up what the competition is in general, but now I kinda wanna take

a bit of a deeper look, see who this competition might be aimed at, what kind of players are

gonna be drawn towards it, and I feel like the first impression that a lot of people

might have is "well, couldn't it just be a group of players or multiple groups of

players from guilds like Method or Alpha who are pushing the bleeding edge of Mythic content?

Who have funneled all of that high-end gear to their best players; won't they have the

advantage that pretty much very very very few members of the World of Warcraft population

have."

I mean I think it's something like less than 1% of the players are pushing Mythic Dungeons

to the same level of those world first guilds are.

That's an interesting point.

You know of course gear is very very important.

You have certain DPS requirements that you need to meet.

You have certain healing requirements that you need to meet.

You know, you need to be at a certain level of health in order to survive some abilities,

particularly as you get higher and higher and higher into these Mythic Plus Dungeons.

Now what's interesting about that is even though there are some guilds that of course

have this bleeding edge armor, they might not necessarily have the skills for Mythic

Plus Dungeons.

Now of course they are skilled players.

I mean you don't get to be a World First guild like Method without being a skilled

player.

However, they might not necessarily have the skills for Mythic Plus Dungeons.

I know that there are groups of players who aren't necessarily Mythic Raiders, however

they pride themselves on running Mythic Plus dungeons very very frequently.

They know how these dungeons work.

They have all of the mechanics down; not just the basic mechanics of the mobs and the bosses,

but also with the added difficulties of the various levels of keystones.

These particular players; they might not necessarily have the best gear, but they know by heart

how these fights go, how they should be approached, and how they can survive and eventually complete

the dungeon.

And what I really really like about this particular competition is I feel like it's gonna bring

out a mix of those kinds of players from the woodwork.

I don't believe anything has been announced by Method or Alpha or any of these top guilds

saying: "Hey we have this roster of five people and they're gonna be representing Method going

into this competition."

I don't think any official announcement like that has been made yet, but I wouldn't be

surprised if something like that was gonna happen in the near future.

Y'know keep in mind that this competition starts just two weeks away.

So I think y'know it's a very good chance that those world first players are gonna be

competing, but I think we're gonna see a lot of unknowns that normally wouldn't draw a

lot of attention, and they're gonna be coming out of the woodwork, like I said, and really

be able to represent their regions during this competition.

Now moving on, overall what are my thoughts about this particular event?

I think it's really really great that Blizzard is taking this step into kind of merging esports

with PVE.

I mean pretty much all esports, for the most part, are based around player versus player

games, you know?

You have Overwatch, you have DOTA, League of Legends, Starcraft, Hearhstone.

You name it.

I mean pretty much everything is PVP.

You have things like speed runs, you know?

Games Done Quick and things like that, but they're not really held in as high of regard

or given as much publicity as these PVP events.

What Blizzard is doing here, for really the first time is legitimizing and incentivizing

success in a player versus environment realm.

So I think with this relatively small prize pool of $100,000, y'know $10,000 per person

that certainly isn't anything to laugh at if you're in first place, but overall it's

a relatively small prize pool, particularly for a competition that's being put on by Blizzard

themselves.

But given the small prize pool, I think it's more of like a test run for Blizzard to see

okay what exactly are people's reactions gonna be?

How much support can we draw for this?

And I think it's really really great.

I mean already across Reddit people are really really happy about this.

Some people are a little bit sad that Blizzard is kind of not putting as much emphasis on

PVP, and some people are feeling a bit left out of that, but with the direction that World

of Warcraft is going, I do feel like it is more of a PVE game, and that Blizzard should

really be focusing on making the PVE as the forefront of what your experience can be.

I'm not knocking PVP.

I know plenty of people, I have many friends who love PVP in World of Warcraft, but I just

don't think that the game itself lends itself that well to PVP.

And at the end of the day, it really is awesome.

As someone who does a lot of raiding and PVE content in general, it's really great to see

Blizzard, like I said, legitimizing PVE.

You know, yeah we have this world first race every time a new raid comes out, but that's

really only important to arguably a small percentage of the playerbase, and it's cool

to hear about "Oh, you know, Method got world first Avatar and this was their strat," but

you can't really watch it.

It's more of just kind of playing a waiting game and figuring out "Okay, well I guess

we're gonna need to wait."

Like now for Kil'jaeden.

It's like yeah, okay.

A couple of guilds are on Kil'jaeden and it's great.

Y'know we get to see which team comes first, but at the end of the day it's just a waiting

game without really much update about what's going on because many many guilds keep their

tactics a secret during this time in the race.

So I think the fact that Blizzard wants to shine more of a light on PVE as something

that you really can spectate; I think the Mythic Plus Dungeons are a really really great

way to do that.

It'll be really interesting to see how spectating that works.

If they're just gonna be taking the POV of a player or if there's gonna be some specially-built

spectator mode built in, although I think that's a bit unlikely.

But overall it's really great that they're bringing Mythic Plus,. which I think is a

great format because you can make it as hard as you possibly can, and there will come a

breaking point where just people cannot complete these dungeons, so this is gonna be an actual

real test of skill across the regions to figure out who are the best players in this particular

format.

Y'know it only takes maybe ten-fifteen minutes to run a Mythic Plus Raid depending on the

length of it and the difficulty of it.

Of course you have that time limit, but there are gonna people who are so great that they're

just blazing through that time limit until it gets to those really really insane difficult

levels.

So overall I am really really really excited for the Mythic Dungeon Invitational.

It's open to everyone as well.

You don't need to be in a Mythic Plus Raiding Guild or you don't need to have been a player

for X amount of time.

Y'know any five random people could just come together and form a group and have a chance

to compete, which I think is really really cool.

It hearkens to the Overwatch League scenario, where yes of course there are gonna be those

people who are in the higher levels, the esports pros who are gonna have a bit of an advantage,

but y'know if you are able to show up and show your chops with your team of other four

players and show that you really can exhibit a mastery of these dungeons like nobody else

can, then you absolutely deserve a seat at the table as one of the best players in this

format.

So I'm sure some more details are going to be released as we get close and closer to

the uh to the to the two week sort of uhh the two week Proving Grounds I believe is

what they're calling it.

In this two week Proving Grounds area I'm sure more announcements will come, and then

of course in the Playoffs with the thirty-two teams and then of course of Finals with the

final eight.

So I'm of course gonna be covering more of that as we get closer and closer, but overall

I think this is a wonderful move by Blizzard.

Y'know they should have done this a long time ago, and finally we're seeing some traction

in legitimizing PVE play in World of Warcraft.

I am absolutely all for that.

So y'know if you have some thoughts about it then be sure to leave it in the comment

section down below.

You know maybe you love this direction that Blizzard's taking.

Maybe you are one of those hardcore PVPers and you think that Blizzard should really

just be pushing more of their chips towards PVP in World of Warcraft.

Or maybe you just don't really care.

You know maybe I'm just kind of biased since I am uh not a hardcore raider, but I do pay

attention to things like the world first race, and I wish that it was just a little bit more

accessible.

But maybe to the average World of Warcraft player this type of competition won't really

hold much excitement or interest.

But like I said, y'know, if you agree with me or disagree with me leave me a comment

in the section down below.

Amir 3 In 1 Smartphone Camera Lense Unboxing And Full Review! - Duration: 11:38.

Hey guys and girls it's me JoshyTek, today I will be unboxing and reviewing the Amir

3 in 1 smartphone camera lens, If you enjoy this video then please give this a like and

subscribe if you like the content, So without further a do, let's get into the video.

Before I begin this unboxing and review, I would like to thank Amir for sending this

product for me to review as I couldn't have done this unboxing and review without them.

So first of all looking at the box of the product, it comes in a small box which is

easy to carry around, on the top you will see the name of the product, on the side there

is different colour options that you can choose to get this product in.

The one I have here is the black colour, on the back you will see the product specifications,

you can pause the video if you want to read that, moving on you can see what this product

does, this camera lens has a flashlight, wide angle lens and a macro lense hence it's called

a 3 in 1 camera lens.

Below you will see the company it's distributed from alongside the logos.

The gray piece on the box can be slid off to allow you to open it, one thing I found

that's great about this unboxing experience is that there is a magnetic opening to the

box which gives me the impression that this is not a cheap product here.

Upon opening the box you will see the lens displayed right in front of you.Below the

lens, you will also find a micro USB cable, a small lens cap, a cloth to clean the lens

and a carrying case where you can easily carry the lense and it's things that it comes with.

You also get a small card that goes over the specs of the lense.

Moving on over to the lense itself, the build quality in my opinion is top notch for the

price,it consists of plastics and metals for the lenses.

I don't hear any creaks in the materials and I feel like I can take this lens anywhere

without worrying that it would fail on me.

On the top of the lens, you will see the 10 LED's used for the flash which has three

stages to it.

The LED flash is very useful if you want to take photographs of people on very low light

conditions.

It can also become useful if you ever wanted to take portraits of people and you need light

onto the subject.

The LED flash is all operated by the small black button right next to the micro USB input.

If you press this button once, the LED's will turn on, press it again and they will

get a bit more brighter and one more press will be the brightest setting and you can

press it again to turn the LED's completely off.

You can also charge the LED flash by using the micro USB cable that was in the box.

Amir claims that the LED flash will charge in one hour but from my experience, it charged

much more faster than one hour.

Below the LED flash, you will see your wide angle lense where you will be able to take

wider angle photographs.

The wide angle lense can be screwed off for you to use the 15x Macro Lens if you wanted

to take macro photographs, if you just want to use your smartphone lens with the 10 LED

flash, you can do that by screwing off both lenses.

One thing I like is that there is a small lens cap to protect the wide angle lens from

any damage thumbs up to Amir for that.

I also like how there's a cloth to clean the lens from any dust or smudges.

Amir has definitely thought of everything before distributing this lens to the public.

Looking on the side of the lens, I like how Amir has cleverly placed the lens and the

flash at the right distance and the shape of the LED flash is quite interesting and

well thought out, I've never seen any other company that came up with this interesting

design and concept.

Behind the flash and lenses you will see the clip that clips onto your smartphone, Amir

claims that this will fit onto any smartphone that you have so there's no need to worry

about that, oh and don't worry about the plastic scratching and the pressure onto your screen,

there is rubber on the end of the clip and on the inside of the lens to protect your

smartphone, and you can also disassemble the camera lens as well like legos.

When assembling the lens, just make sure you clean the inside of the lens as you don't

want anything disturbing your photograph before taking the photograph with the lens.

So let's move onto the photographs that I've taken with this 3 in 1 smartphone lens and

what better place to test this camera lens but in a hot climate on my holiday.

If you are wondering what phone I'm using to take these photos and videos, I'm using

the Motorola X Play.

The first photo you see here is taken without the fisheye lense of the plane wing, now you

can see the photograph taken with the fisheye lense, I will show you another photo, here

you can see a photo taken at the pool without the fisheye lense, and here is the photo taken

with the fisheye lens, makes a big difference doesn't it?

You can also use the wide angle lens on the front camera too which is handy because if

you are taking a group selfie, you don't have to worry about stretching your arm.

Here you can see a photo taken with my phone's front facing camera without the wide angle

lense and now you can see what it looks like with the wide angle lense.

The lense really does make a difference to the picture and if you pair this with a selfie

stick, you will get so much in your photograph like what you see here in this video.

I also tested the 10 LED flash on this lens too, as you can see here this is a front facing

photo of me with the fisheye lense without the flash on, next you can see the flash set

to 1 on its lowest setting, here is the flash on setting 2, and here is the brightest setting

on flash.

I found that this photograph came out blurry, I think that is because my phone's shutter

speed was open long and I can't change that.

The next photo was taken from my phone's back camera and this was without the 10 LED flash.

On this photo I have the LED flash set to 1, here's setting 2, and here is the brightest

setting 3.

Just to compare the flashes, here is my phone's camera without the flash turned on, and here

is the same photo with the LED flash turned on.

Here is a side by side comparison of the two flashes and I will let you judge for yourself.

Here is one more interesting thing I saw with the wide angle lens, here is a photo of some

rocks without the wide angle lens, and this is the same photo but with the fisheye lens

flash set to its highest setting.

If we put them side so side you will notice that the wide angle lens photograph has more

sharpness than the photograph without the wide angle lens, it's quite interesting to

see that.

Okey, now that I have finished talking about the wide angle lens, I'm now going to talk

about the 15X macro lens.

Using this lens you can really dig deep into what you're taking a photo of.

I've actually made use out of this lens on my photography page on Instagram.

As you can see this is a photograph taken at a human eye using this macro lense.

I have also used its functionality to take a photograph of this brickwork you can see

here, and I have taken a photograph of my dogs claw using this lens.

If you want video from the 15x macro lense, I have also taken a video using this macro

lens of my dogs eye which you can see here.

So yeah, you can take photographs really close to objects that you can't normally take

compared to a normal smartphone lens and I think this smartphone lens is very versatile

to use for anybody who wants to take photographs close up to objects.

But like every product it also comes with negatives, so this is what I've found from

my experience with the lens.

With the macro lens you have to point your phone really close to objects to get the camera

into focus which can be annoying so it's not really a macro lens, it's more of a microscopic

lens to take photos at really close distances.

The flash on the smartphone lens doesn't tell you when the battery is low or their isn't

any light that flashes to give you an indication that the battery is low it will just die on

you without you knowing and when you do charge the flash it shows a red light to tell you

that it's charging so that red light could've been used for something.

The small lens cap that you get in the box doesn't fit perfectly on the inside of the

lens or it just feels a bit gimmicky and I just won't really use it.

If you always use a case on your smartphone and your phone is thick like mine, you will

have to take the case off and then put the lens on which can be time consuming if you

want to take a quick photograph.

To resolve this, you could increase the width of the clip to allow the lens to fit onto

smartphone cases.

But that's all of the negatives from my experience using this lens.

Most of them are a bit nit picky but I just have to be honest with my reviews so you can

make a perfect purchase.

But for the price at fourteen pounds, you can' really complain,it's an acceptable price

and this 3 in 1 lens will easily do the job for you without any problems.

So if you want a smartphone lens that's at an affordable price point, has a sturdy build

quality and a 10 LED flash which no other smartphone lens has from what I've seen, then

this is an absolutely great purchase if you want to step up your mobile photography, there

is only just little nitpicky things I can say about the lens but I still think it's

a great buy.

Another thing is that the smartphone lens doesn't have to be used on smartphones.

It can also work on small laptop webcams or any other small camera lens which is great.

So that's going to be the end of this unboxing and full review, if you watched right to the

end of this video, I would like to thank you for watching all this way and if this video

helped you decide to buy this product then please like the video and subscribe as it

would help a lot.

I would also leave the Amir 3 in 1 lens in the description for you to purchase the lens

right from Amazon.

I will see you in next week's video and um yeah goodbye.
