[@EncryptedBear8]

Some explanations: Every game you win or lose rating depending on your opponent's rating. There are the following divisions corresponding to rating: Bronze, Silver, Gold (around 675+ I believe), Master (850+), Champion (1100+). You can click on the leaderboard to see your global rank and who are top of the leaderboard, that's really cool. The weekend series is separate to your global rank and every week you can qualify by playing a certain amount of games (to reach 75 qualification points) and then during the weekend you can play 10 games of each game mode which add points to your weekend series rank. This isn't that great as you have to play a lot of games every week and will have a huge disadvantage if you don't. So imo better ignore weekend series and just play Duels normally to improve your global rank. Also during the weekend they turn matchmaking for duels off, so better play and record in the qualification period (not on weekend) so you get matched with opponents similar to your rating, which is a lot more fun and better content.

[@e_eyster]

Skill wise its probably breaks down into from my ~900 perspective Bronze: Just barely learning the game, 9 out of 10 times game will be over before healing Silver: Has picked up some meta, is probably good with certain regions but should be simple win Gold: Knows most basic meta, is weak in a few regions but good enough to hang with anyone with lucky starting spots Master: Knows all basic meta, some more complex, will very rarely be far off of spots but can be pressured into mistakes Champ: Knows pretty much all meta, Top 100 players or so in world, good luck beating them without some luck

[@davedegoeij9721]

@@e_eyster as someone who has been in the champion division, I can say this is correct. Also when you are playing someone from master division or champion division dont try to rush it before you know the country. The extra 15 seconds after your opponent has guessed is vital for you.

[@maxcarter5148]

@@felixdawson8497 I really hope he doesn't split the channel. Having a second channel just for geoguessr wouldn't necessarily mean more of it since it's a time issue more than anything for him at the moment. Splitting your viewer base often isn't a good idea as you just end up with less views for each video which limits your exposure via the algorithm. This channel started as Geoguessr and imo it wouldn't make sense to move that content to a 2nd channel. I love the real world stuff too and would rather have it all on one channel. He can have the one for shorts but this should always be his main channel for all other content

[@felixdawson8497]

@@maxcarter5148 I agree about splitting the viewer base and was initially reserved about the idea. But when he announced it, if I remember right, he said that the content on this main channel would stay exactly the same, basically, with both genres, and that the second channel would allow for more frequent and less... impressive ? geoguessr vids. Unseen footage and bonus content, the sort that wouldn't make it on to the main, maybe the games that don't get used in the official videos and that sort of thing. He put it across like it wouldn't decrease any geoguessr on this one, but it would just be a sort of Bonus Videos channel.

Amazing gamemode and performance, Tom! As others have said, more of this please! On a side note: brazilian telephone area codes are relatively easy to use for pinpointing. State capitals almost always end in a 1, and the first digit determines the state. The area code there on the last round was 13, which means it was in the state of São Paulo (because it starts in a 1) but not São Paulo the city, which has an area code of 11

[@Sam-kj9ui]

The biggest problem I is that you hesitate too much thinking if you should guess early or find the exact place. The time it takes you to decide, the opponent already got a guess. So either guess as soon as you know which country so they dont have the time to look for clue, this will result in more damage dealt, ofc its a coinflip, but in your favor cause youre already in the country atleast. Or get as close as possible, which results in safer play. Your weakness in general (I see this everytime in your videos) is when you play a new gamemode, you find it so hard to formulate a plan. Your skills are good, but strategy is a huge part also.
