Your 45-minute plan: 0–5 welcome · 5–20 first segment · 20–35 second segment · 35–42 final segment · 42–45 recap and next stream.
Prepare the minimum setup
Test the match and OBS together, including a busy team fight. Keep voice above game sound. If you are learning, use practice or appropriate unranked modes to develop the format without distracting teammates.
Open with a clear promise
“Today I am practising lane positioning on one hero. I will explain three decisions and review one mistake after each match.”
Segment one: set the scene
Explain your role, hero and one learning target.
Segment two: deliver the activity
Narrate decisions during quieter moments and focus during demanding play.
Segment three: close the loop
Review one fight or map decision with the recording or available replay tools.
Mark one useful clip
Use one choice and its consequence: what you noticed, what you did and what you would change.
Your next action.
Write your opening, run a ten-minute recording using this format, then schedule one manageable first stream. Review one technical issue and one content improvement afterwards.
Make it happen.
Before you go live.
How do I explain the game without overwhelming beginners?+
Explain the immediate goal first. Define only the term needed for that decision, then return to the action. A viewer does not need a full rules lesson to follow one moment.
Should I commentate during every fight?+
No. Use short reactions during action and explain your reasoning in quieter moments or a post-match review.
