Hello Pizzaman! Welcome to the forum!
So...funny thing, I was already watching your first episode of random gun friday. So, anyway, let's get onto it.
1. I like, it. Simple...something I know I need to do on my channel...I feel like it's clumped...but yours is nice. I like how everything fades to black as it goes down, which is something I don't see in a lot of other backgrounds, so kudos on that. The only gripe I'd probably have (especially if you're looking for a partnership or a contract with a gaming network) is...well...whatever's in the middle. "replay graphics?" Is that who made the graphic or something for you? My advice would be to take that out and give him a shout out somewhere else on your channel page, maybe in your "About Me" or something like that. I dunno, it looks a tad unprofessional and makes an otherwise great background kind of weird for me.
2. Sound levels are LOW. I mean REALLY low. What you should do when you're doing your playback in your editing software would be to play another youtube video (preferably someone that you love or someone who makes similar content that you make, such as SeaNanners) while your playback is playing and set the volume accordingly. No one likes turning up volume to hear you, especially when they go to another video and find it blaring. Also, I feel that the game volume is a tad too high (compared to your current volume)...so that's something.
As for quality of commentary, I feel like you explain yourself and apologize a lot. I feel like that isn't necessary. I'll give you an example: in RGF#1, you mention that your girlfriend is more important than your viewers. Did your girlfriend put you up to that? In the real world, that makes a lot of sense, and I totally empathize with that situation...but as a consumer (or as youtube or a gaming network when you finally submit this for a contract), do I really need to hear that? It makes me feel that I can't trust you to put out content when you say you're going to put it out...and if I'm a big youtube consumer, I watch content to see SHOWS, that's what I'd subscribe for. Would I subscribe to someone who says their content is less important than their job or girlfriend? No. So even if these things are more important, remember to try to keep negatives and doubt out of commentaries.
I do like that you don't talk so much about the actual game. Your voice is nice, and you don't seem shy of the mic. You'll get better with time. Another thing I might suggest is pre-planning what you want to talk about during your videos, like writing down points and stuff so you don't forget to bring them up.
3. What would I rate your channel? Hmmm...never done that before. Background is nice except for that one thing. Your commentary is decent, but your sound levels are really low and you kind of belittle the viewer inadvertently. As for gameplay, you win your matches, but you die a lot in them.
If I was a random passerby and stumbled on your channel. Would I subscribe? No. But most of these things are VERY easy fixes, and a lot of the reasons why I wouldn't subscribe are silly things like bad sound levels and stuff. So try and fix those, and see how that helps your channel.
I'm feeling a solid 4 out of 10. But the differences between a bad, mediocre and great channel are really minuscule.
But hey, that's just my two cents. Take with it what you will.
P.S.
Do you record multiple matches to weed out the best possible matchups you can use? If you don't, I strongly suggest doing that. I hear a lot of the big time youtubers do that...so just throwing that out in the universe.
