My Most Hated Not-So-Famous Players by @PokeGirl93

When Chess Joined an Esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia: Bold Leap or Ethical Sellout? by @DeepSeaLore

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Thumbnail (1.25 points)

It isn't even close. The thumbnail by @DeepSeaLore is very random and it doesn't show or open the topic in any way to make as interested. On the other hand, @PokeGirl93's thumbnail is flashy and it made me really want to click on it. It shows as the chessboard, and the 5 people she is gonna talk about, it is truly amazing.

@PokeGirl 1.25-0 @DeepSeaLore

Tittle (1.25 points)

Again, it is not close. The tittle by @DeepSeaLore falls for a very basic begginers mistake: the tittle was too long and confusing. I do not want to continue reading this chunky tittle, it is just not it. The tittle by @PokeGirl93 is short and sweet, with "non-famous" making this even more intresting, because I might hear about people that I have never heeard before, and learn more about them

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@PokeGirl 2.5-0 @DeepSeaLore

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Topic (1 point)

@PokeGirl93 chose a famous topic, but she added a nice touch to it, adding the element of "non famous" people, that was more engaging to read than another story about Magnus Carlsen. @DeepSeaLore's topic chose a really good topic, but he wasn't able to fully develop it. This is a tie.

@PokeGirl 3.0-0.5 @DeepSeaLore

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Editing (1 points)

Both blogs don't have any word walls and have good use of images, but images by @DeepSeaLore are quite blurry and low quality, and I missed some quotes or bold text. For example, "

On Reddit one user wrote blantantly:

“That’s actually a cool trailer!”
…but followed it quickly with another comment:
“How can a game invented before electricity be an ‘esport’? It seems kind of goofy."Another predicted a Magnus‑led tournament circuit to rival FIDE backed by the same Saudi dollars that launched LIV Golf." could of been turned into a quote. I didn't find any issues with editing of @PokeGirl93's blog, and the fact that she made table of contents without revelaning the names of the players right away is a nice touch.

@PokeGirl 4.0-0.5 @DeepSeaLore

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Research (0.5 points)

Both competitors put a lot of effort into researching diffferent facts and games for the blog. Again, @PokeGirl93 puts more effort into researching the players and games, and adds little details about them.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@PokeGirl 4.5-0.5 @DeepSeaLore

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Writing (2 points)

The most important part of the blog. @PokeGirl93 goes deeper into the topic with well formatted structure. Her writing skills are outstanding with amazing humor. @DeepSeaBlog was not structured well and was really confusing in some places, and I didn't really like his style of writing.

@PokeGirl 6.5-0.5 @DeepSeaLore

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Other aspects of the blog (1 point)

I would really like to highlight @PokeGirl's jokes and jumor, it was really good. The blog was succeded at building suspense and reveleaning the names one by one, instead of just putting them all in table of contents.

@PokeGirl 7.5-0.5 @DeepSeaLore

Result: @PokeGirl93 wins!

@DeepSeaLore, try to make the thumbnail connect to your topic. You can use assosiations, flashy pictures, but it has to be connected with the topic. Also, avoid to much text in your thumbnail. Some goes for tittle: shorter tittles are usually better.

Your blog misses some editing opportunities: you can use separators instead of "____________", add quotes in places like "On Reddit one user wrote blantantly: ", hyperlinks to the tournament pages, better quality images, using a bigger font for sections of your blog, making a table of contents.

I personally found this blog less engaging than your week 2 submission, and the blog itself was quite short, I wish it was a bit longer. The conclusion was pretty short and it shows the main problem with this blog: you have to express an opinion, What do you think is better: Is it higher prize money or deeper gameplay? Giving your own opinion makes the blog human and that is the difference beetwen a blog and an article.

@PokeGirl93, you were able to write an amazing blog. This time you were able to fully show your personality in your blog and it made it more engaging and touching to read.
