I played 100 rounds against a Geoguessr Pro. The results were fascinating...

It's David vs Goliath, old vs young, vibes vs meta.
For the first time on this channel I go head to head against another GeoGuessr player, and boy did I pick a handy one. Zi8gzag is one of the top players in the world and specialises in NMPZ (No Moving, panning or zooming) challenges, something that I inadvertently got him into way back in 2021.
THE CHALLENGE: We decided to keep it pure and simple and play 100 rounds (20 games) against each other and see what the split would end up being.
Would it be 5? 10? 20? could I maybe even win a game against Zi8gzag? we had no idea.
After all, this is Geoguessr's hardest format, and it can make even the very top players panic and squirm. All we were sure of was that it was going to be action packed, and we were right. This session had it all, from insane guesses to terrible ones to incredibly tight rounds at the most crucial of moments...

Thanks for stopping by everyone. Couple of things I'd like to share with you: Firstly, the official petition to make knife crime prevention a compulsory requirement for all (UK) school curriculum (endorsed by the James Brindley foundation - a charity very close to my heart) is ALMOST at 10,000 signatures. We're just a couple of hundred off! It would mean the world to my old mate Jim's family if we could get this over the 10k mark and force the Government to listen. Here is the link: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634860 Secondly, our good friend Ben Cook (Dribbling Britain + Running across Wales in a day) has just completed a pretty damn impressive run of his own up in the North East, raising money for Russ Cook's running Charity. Check it out here: www.justgiving.com/page/metrothon Thanks everyone for hearing me out and especially to those who have signed or donated. Have a great weekend one and all 💪

Tom is a geoguessr legend. All the pros know of him and a lot of them are fans. Maybe Tom's not the greatest in the world, but he has managed to popularize this game so much.

[@fleek6319]

this exactly! It's so nice how Zigzag himself opened his version of this video up by saying that his yt channel would probably not exist without Geowizard and how Tom inspired him to get into Geoguessr in the first place. He inspired me too and so many other people, Tom is the real OG

[@YellowSkarmory]

So many players got into the game through GeoWizard until Rainbolt came along, and he's still one of the names everyone knows in the community. I remember one day back in ~2020 having a conversation with another geo player and I think it was about GeoWizard, and they brought up how they thought they were about at GeoWizard's level now, which made me realize that hey, I might be better than GeoWizard too, and that was a wild thought. (He's still way better than me at vibes.)

[@WhaattUpp]

He's the OG. Without Tom there would be no Geoguesser community. He put it on the KZbin map/scene.

Crazy how goated Tom is without learning all the meta

[@lunamotocross]

what’s “the meta”

[@KarlsAbenteuer]

@@lunamotocross knowing all the little details, that are either unique to a country, or even specific for google images of that country. Like knowing that Northern Nigeria has bad image quality. Or knowing where in Kenia which car is driving around.

[@nahblue]

@@lunamotocross pure meta is knowing contextual stuff about street view and not the world. Like: X country is not in street view, so it's never the right answer. Or the street view car looks a certain way in one country's coverage. Then there's more like geographic meta, clues about whole regions but which are connected to actual geography - like what do the street signs and power poles usually look like.

[@suckieduckie]

@@lunamotocross Meta is short for 'Most Effective Tactic Available'. In this case memorising things like different google cars, type of electricity wires, language etc.

[@KeiferKif]

@@lunamotocross Meta is short for metagame. Meta is a prefix meaning "more comprehensive" or "transcending". 'Most Effective Tactic Available' is a backronym

[@Panda_SMM]

really enjoyed the talk between rounds of what got both of you to where you picked, really insightful stuff. and this is coming from someone who mostly just watched the straight line mission-related stuff and is getting more and more into this side of your channel as of late. loving all the stuff :^)

[@GeorgeBratley]

I think if Tom learned more of the meta, he could definitely be among the top players in the world. His ‘vibes’ game is very consistent.

[@wolfzmusic9706]

I think he's said in the past he doesn't wanna learn loads of meta cuz it doesn't make it as fun anymore

[@nicholaswoollhead6830]

I kinda like that Tom doesn't want to learn the meta. It reminds me of my father who hikes a lot and sternly refuses to use a GPS cus it would take away the fun of reading the map and terrain for him. There is a certain purity to it.

[@GPSjammer]

Learning differences in sign posts and bollards is for deathly boring people

[@Nooticus]

@@nicholaswoollhead6830 so true. legend stuff

[@Chooopy]

This is why I watch Tom regularly and I watch the other guys on occasion. Metadata is boring. Don't get me wrong, it's wildly impressive what the other guys do, but the way Tom plays is fun and entertaining to watch

[@alexanderpedersen1401]

So grateful for an interaction like this :) I am secretly hoping Tom will show up in Stockholm next month, on stream or in person. Not the best geoguessr player by far, but still the Godfather of the game.

You did great Tom but honestly it is also great to see your sportsmanship in this video. You're genuinely impressed with z8s performance (as are the rest of us watching I'm sure) and similar to your attitude in your straight line challenge videos it is just great to see your positive outlook

[@HypnotizedByJyi]

This was so fun to watch! Tom is just incredibly impressive, quite literally as good as anyone could ever get without learning the meta stuff. And zig8zag is crazy impressive as well, obviously. Speaking about meta and if anyone is reading this two months after this video was posted (lmao), another tip for Zürich: as they pointed out, you can see German on the sign, and even if you don't pick up on the 'rich vibes', you can also see that the license plate on the car doesn't have the blue (blurred, obvs) stripe on the left that indicates an EU country - meaning it's Switzerland.

[@flipfloppoet4377]

I keep wondering why it is that despite the fact that there are several geoguessr players who are much better than Tom, I still enjoy watching Tom the best. Partly, it's because he doesn't have all the identifying markers memorized and therefore plays (slightly) closer to how a "normal" player would play. And partly, it's *because* he's not as perfect as the others. An insane guess is ever so much more interesting to watch. tl;dr - Love your videos, Tom.
