Why do the players wear full country jerseys when they could just be wearing a picture of an electrical pole near where they grew up??

[@cliffhamilton2857]

Those trees are looking really Polish

[@runitonce7791]

That was the laugh I needed. Well done

[@jason-qc5lr]

and then the tiebreaker is who gets the opponent's flagpole location the closest

honestly not a bad esport

Shoutcasting like it's StarCraft Brood war, the most intense game ever made. 800 APM "Actions per minute" one wrong action can lose you the game.

Right! I have no idea how I even got here… But I’m hooked.

[@Ma1akai]

I think we can all agree that the Fungus vs Consus round was crazy

[@zarrten]

I felt so bad for fungus losing on a russia round... he played out of his mind and was punching above his weight until it was taken by 320 whole points

IT WAS INSANE!!

I loved to listen to these two commenting- the other one guessing something not right, and Rainbolt just casually - "no" :D

[@JustaRandomGuy890]

He is called launders, very good CS commentator and analyst

You're such a gifted caster man! you made the experience that much better!

[@scoper7897]

but not even top 10 in geoguesser :DDDDDDDDD still thinks hes best or even one of the best. Hes not even close to best. Rainbolt is average AT HIS PEAK. just cringe how he always says hes best. He would lose in 1 round against any rank 10 player

Lennli's last second switch to take the round is definitely the play of the tournament.

[@Jonas-cz6sk]

And the misplay of the tournament was his first round where he forgot to set the switch at all :D

[@bogdanoli]

Such a well organized event, I enjoyed it more that I though I would especially because Radu made it to the semis , but how is Google not sponsoring this? Hope you guys organize another World Cup next year!

[@litterbox019]

[@bogdanoli]

@@litterbox019 I mean they are literally using google maps as the base of the game. I my opinion it's a no brainer for Google.

[@austrianpainter42069]

Reminded me of early hearthstone days

[@UltraProchy]

@@austrianpainter42069 I thought the same thing, the vibe of the tournament is kinda like hearthstone used to be. Less RNG but still that slim chance of getting the better draw so you never really know who is going to win. The fact Consus and Blinky were in the finals proves it is mostly about skill. Love it.

[@r.h.f.6073]

Rainbolt you did an incredible job at commentating, you made it that much more exciting.

[@danielchoritz1903]

geoguesser is a very good competition game to watch, even more because you can actual learn a bit from it and it is so easy to understand the rules and the skills of the player, only downside there is no teamplay.

[@ZhangK71]

There is team play, but you don’t see it in this World Cup and for a reason. Hopefully within the next year, the game designers can update the Team Duels mode to be more complex and interesting than just “more people hedging guesses makes the results mostly luck-based when the best pros play each other”. It would be even better if they could somehow promote the evolution of offense and defense in the game. Right now, offense and defense are literally the same thing: guess your best and you either take off damage from your opponent or limit their damage on you. But it would be so cool if we can have some sort of defensive specialist and offensive specialist 2v2, or potentially even more players and “formations”.

[@Michael-kp4bd]

You can set up team matches - most of the tourneys held by Rainbolt are team based. I liked the singles version for the World Cup, but there’s hours and hours of fun team-based tournaments on Rainbolt’s channel.

[@birdinflight3861]

The World Cup was so fun to watch. I’m sad that there won’t be one of them every week. I’d watch it every time

Having your hometown with less than 10k population as a final round is kinda cool ^^ Big hype in Mänttä.

[@BlackSalamander439]

23:31 This road sign would be a godsend for anyone who speaks Polish. It literally lists where this place is: Województwo Wielkopolskie = Greater Poland Voivodeship (1st level subdivision), Powiat Wągrowiecki = Wągrowiecki County, Gmina Gołańcz = Gołańcz Municipality. I don't recall seeing a sign like this ever irl so the fact they stumbled on it in Geoguessr is incredible.

So much more hype to not do the math and let it reveal

[@Michael-kp4bd]

I mean doing something like (4780-3836)*3.5 and subtracting it from the losing player’s current health of 3500.. it’s not the easiest thing to do in the 1 second between showing the individual scores and calculating the penalty. I guess you might mean the faction of a second AFTER out calculates the penalty but before it hits the player as damage… that’s a simple > or < comparison 😅
