In competitive context

VOD review explained

VOD stands for video on demand. Players can review a personal perspective, team recording, replay file, or broadcast. The best review starts with a question and finds the earliest controllable decision, not only the final death. Team reviews may focus on protocols and information flow; individual reviews often focus on positioning, timing, and mechanics.

Example call
“Clip the first failed retake for VOD review; our setup was already broken before the duel.”

Why the term matters

Keep the action item small enough to use in the next session. A long list of errors creates awareness but rarely creates behavior change.

Use it correctly

Competitive language is most useful when it makes the next action clearer. Give the location, timing, or resource state needed to support the term. Avoid using shorthand as a substitute for a complete call when teammates need more information.
