Since a few of us have started playing this more I'll try to update this thread with content not only for improving your play/guides but also to what's going on in the professional scene.
So to start this off, I present this video that may be helpful for newcomers.
Chron lot of good points by that challenger player in that video. It was good to see when the guy followed instructions how easy the game is and then depressing to see when he and his team started throwing. Been in too many games like that when advantages get thrown.
