Well then!
It's important to note that I am in top form in this video. I've been preparing for this Pro Tour for two weeks and this is the decklist I am playing in the event. Many times in my content and my videos I am playing a cool deck I found for the first time, learning the ins and outs, etc, so it's understandable if things go a bit sideways. This is not the case in this video. However, it's important to understand that Magic is still a card game - things can go wrong no matter how well prepared you are. (And as a corollary, can occasionally go right despite how unprepared you are).
If you ever wanted proof of that, just take a look at the bottom of the standings at any pro level event, where there are guaranteed to occasionally be some of the best names to ever play Magic. Magic is a very difficult game, and it's also a game that can be punishing at times.
The lesson here is to focus on the things you can control. I was happy with my play in this set of matches, as I am very happy with my deck going into the Set Championship (This is being written before the event starts). It won't always work out, but all you can do is put in the work, be ready to play your best, and let the chips fall where they may.
