Summary: Your mechanics are good but gamesense and decision making is not that good
1 Big issue is that you dont know how to play when you have a man advantage. Theres at least 4 rounds that I can remember that being an issue (Could be more)

  • 4v3 Postplant on A
  • 4v3 Postplant on C
  • 2v1 Postplant on B (You got the kill on chamber but if you died, your breach wasnt in a place to trade u)
  • 5v4, going for a flash play when you have your ult and risking your life

If you have any questions lmk

Phoenix on lotus is basically just playing for flash zones (defense) and ult orb farming (attack). Generally starting b on defense is pretty good on phoenix. Woohoojin has uploaded a video for phoenix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILfNAOKlbIM) and it seems like most pros start b main to play for his flash and molly to control that space. Playing middle of the map is also pretty good if your teammates are playing the map incorrectly and allows you to fast rotate to either site.

My general pointers for improving :
-You rush your shots, especially after flashing. Round 3 showcases exactly the effect this has, as you fail to kill jett before they kill your neon. Also the last round of the game you completely whiff on the full blind chamber and he kills your clove for free and it almost loses you the round.
-You need to play your flash more, its almost the only reason anyone plays phoenix and its the only reason hes viable on lotus. I really think that the order of improvement is Mechanics, Agent Skill, then Teamplay, and then refining those until they are perfect. You need to understand your role and what plays/positions provide the most value to you and your teams chance at winning the round/game. For example on round 3 you play c link which I think no duelist ever would play at because it doesnt make sense. Up until you fight the jett, you are providing no value to your team. You are not a sentinel, you need to be in a place where you are fighting/able to start fighting/threaten to start fighting.

You will likely have a hard time getting better on phoenix because there is no good resources for improving at phoenix and also because phoenix really doesnt fit into team dynamics very well besides just being like "phoenix flash op lol" or "farm orb easy win"
