How to ask better BAR questions and get better answers

Why replay links, map names, and specific goals matter

The short answer

Academy mentor guidance repeatedly asks players to provide replay links, map context, in-game names, and specific issues they want reviewed.

Better context creates better answers.

Vague questions tend to attract vague advice.
Specific questions let stronger players diagnose actual decisions, timings, and role errors.
That is why mentor review templates are so structured.

Say what map, team size, and role the game involved.
Attach the replay link when possible.
Name the exact phase or choice that felt wrong, such as T2 timing or frontline collapse.

The common mistake is asking for total improvement in one sentence. That usually produces weaker feedback than asking about a specific failure.

Clear questions are a form of discipline. Serious players and serious teams benefit from that clarity.
