If there is one important skill to be a good autochess player, I will say it's the ability to play with high flexibility. In this match, I show you the example of flexibility by playing lategame with drastically different build than my early-midgame build.
I played my early-midgame build mostly with Savage Shaman Summoner, arguably the best combination throughout early-midgame. And I think I played it really well by getting 20 win streak. I didn't roll that much, and most of the time I swapped my units with stronger ones from time to time. That's how I mainained my winning streak for so long.
But Savage Shaman Summoner is only good until midgame, sooner or later I must make transition into my lategame build. I assumed Knight player will be the most dangerous opponent, and there is no way I want to play against Knight all star with my Savage Shaman Summoner. Or at least I don't have experience winning in that situation. Savage was being contested too, more reason to abandon it. Hence, I decided to make transition into the build I practiced and trusted the most: the 4 Troll build.
Like I said many times, the transition phase was the scariest and the most dangerous phase. In this transition phase, i lost around 50+ health before I got stabilized in top 3. The 20 winning streak earlier was very helpful in conserving my health and surviving this phase, at during which my opponents were killing each other.
==========
What could have been done better
Aside from difficult transition, my highlight will be my lategame item choice. Against Knight, I think Radiance isn't the best pick. I need to remember that Knight does not rely solely on basic attack to deal damage, at which Radiance is the best choice. Other item should be more beneficial, like Vesture, Vladmir, or perhaps even Moonshard of other Kaden's Blade.
