My First Geoguessr Battle Royale Game in OVER a Year (2023 Reaction)

In today's video, I'm going to be playing Geoguessr battle royale for the first time in over a year, and attempting to win games without moving, panning, or zooming. This is no mean feat to achieve, especially when your game is lagging horribly. Enjoy!

9:08 “YES….oh, well that’s unfortunate we lost all our elo.” 😂

[@fullriptide]

I love your genuine excitement when the strangers guess it correctly

[@miguelfelipedias]

Ikr, a very charismatic and empathetic gentleman, I'd guess he's an ENFJ personality type

[@JustShpigel]

Oscar: guessing Cambodia Also Oscar: "You just need to guess Mongolia"

13:46 zi8gzag out of context 😆

[@drunkenstein-tp1pd]

10:17 Just look on the sticker in the top of the windshield. Pretty much every car in Austria have them and its super usefull meta to tell it apart from Germany and Slovenia

[@zi8gzag]

good tip

[@transportspotterraphael]

​@@zi8gzagI would also add that a quick learning of public transport logos, such as the Wiener Linien or the Austrian S Bahn, would help! I'm a public transport enthusiast and on some videos I'vr seen, that would definitely give me an edge on country or even region guessing. I'd be glad to help with that if documentation is needed

[@KoenigseggRulz]

”am i recording” geowizard would be proud

[@SteveBrandon]

I find the new 3D avatar waiting room adds lag on older computers that carries over into the game itself. When I'm in the transparent part of the countdown where we see the next location in the background, I see people locking guesses for countries while I'm still 8 or 9 seconds away from being able to click on anything. I know people will just say, "get a new computer". The point is, the computer I'm using (a 2012 Macbook Pro) didn't have any issues with Battle Royale until they introduced the new avatar waiting rooms two or three weeks ago. Turning off animations reduces the lag a little but it's definitely still lagging compared to before.

[@zombee0036]

i do have similar problems with a good computer. these aren't hardware problems, it is just spaghetti code

[@arrowheaded]

4:45 The Thai Goat with a Cambo Goat 🇹🇭🐐🇰🇭🐐

[@DoiInthanon1897]

I totally didn’t think this too lmao

[@mattf9019]

Congrats on 50k!! Well deserved, the consistency is unmatched

[@gwts1171]

This is pretty much the only mode I play anymore. I've been loving it.

[@cronnn]

first mistake: deciding to play battle royale

[@zi8gzag]

not wrong :skull:

[@GeoMeridium]

Every time I do those games, my 1100+ ELO from duels dips into the 900s.

[@palmtreegal3]

I was literally just thinking about battle royale, it's fun! Happy to see you make a video about it

[@InfiniteWasp360]

1:33 You still in Gold Division get ppl guessing countries like Gabon that don't have street view data. xD

[@tuckerbroadbooks6841]

The real battle here is Zig vs. his internet 😂

[@s2m3b1]

Can we expect more videos with Tom?

[@zi8gzag]

hopefully, yeah!

[@epiles2]

He even checked if he was recording this video 🤣😂 such a tom thing to do

[@Oznej]

The student has become the master.

[@RJE95]

​@@epiles2that was my first thought too 😂 I thought it was perhaps a reference

[@frederikvater]

17:15 Pavement is very distinct to Denmark. Also, you´re excused since you aren´t Scandinavian, but the blue lorry saying "PostNord" (PostNorth) is some postal service here in the Nordic countries. Tough to see the letters here in the nmpz round though. :)

[@markuskvick]

I enjoy and get a lot of education from your videos, I just want to express my feelings towards this one. "Smurfing" (when you play at a level far below your standard) are in most modern games considered annoying/unenjoyable/irritating for those that encounter smurfers..it's even bannable in some of the bigger games like dota2, as an example. I'm just trying to say that it ruins the experience for those that are at that level, since they probably dont have a chance to win the game. The video was really good though =) Keep up the good work!

[@JohnAndJohner]

That teal van in the Denmark guess is a postal van for the company Post Nord (as is also readable if you strained your eyes), which is quite recognizable. I do think they might operate in other Nordics, though.

[@sizlslover]

you’re my favourite youtuber rn ❤

[@zi8gzag]

what a privilege, appreciate it:)

[@sizlslover]

@@zi8gzag lovee youu!!

[@marcbenedict3676]

I love how you check if you're recording just like Tom lol, must be a geoguesser thing!

[@KevLaj]

Interesting to see a couple of names I've played against recently on your vid. (Which reveals my level!)

[@connorjonesfilmsOH]

love the battle royal vids!

[@johnnybojan]

3:31 This region has a lot of mixed colour lines in particular, but you can also find them all the way east of Temuco. Paired with beautiful monkey puzzle trees :)

[@HSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHS]

I always plan some unranked BR distance to warmup for duels. Great to see some of the other modes just for fun!

[@HSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHS]

Also distance tactics - on the NZ one I'd always get my first plonk early and then hover the second until they guess. You can always instantly guess after they do and then they panic while you've had plenty of time to think about your second

[@zi8gzag]

bro is very organised

[@UpTheIrons51510]

Legumes grow in quite literally every climate. The large branching pattern with patches which gives dappled shade is warmer climate.

[@mmesec93]

quoting him on a cambodia round 5:02 "all he has to do is go Mongolia"

[@TheAngeria]

I had that same Chile road with yellow line today and I was so confused as well. Although I played A balanced world so hard rounds are more exepted.

[@reactieciudat4726]

cool video good to see. Good night i think . i will still stay in Masters Division good thing is that i get rarely champions players mostly on br distance then countries . I will try takin' a break + get back in week 7+ 8 . Good content you got Oscar or zig . Enough. Keep it up stay strong

[@Blinkhexy]

Man keep grinding

[@mrwalter7205]

I kinda fell off after the road to rank 1 stopped but I love watching battle royal. Hope you make more

[@HarryPlaysGeo]

Next Thai goat challenge: GeoGuessr duels but once you guess a country once in the video, you can never guess it again

[@pikachude5490]

5:03 most obvious mongolia coverage

[@LNTutorialsNL]

KKE is the most mainstream communist party in Greece, there are more, but they're the biggest. Around 10% of the parliament. Many towns have a chapter of them, you can see the flag or posters for events quite often.

[@Lunehardt]

9:14 Dude, it happens all the time. I loss a lot of elo because of the lags

[@eternallyspoopy2238]

we should start a go fund me to upgrade zig’s laptop

[@lostrobotbrotherhood3852]

Need more impossible quiz videos zig

[@dylan_costa]

Okay so it wasn't just me who has had the lag with BR lately - love the game mode but my word, the lag kills me HAHA

[@flameguy3416]

Only the pros with over 15 thousand games get knocked out for country hedging against battle royale noobs 😂

[@mmesec93]

i literally got the exact same chile round like 5 months ago in a duels game when i was like 900 rated and i 5kd while watching the video

[@MatthewHahn-dr8db]

Love your videos and I watch every day... but how is this not smurfing? 😶

[@wangflop]

Some day you'll make it out of the gold devision. I believe in you believing in yourself.

[@RJE95]

The speed test will be somewhere local to you, so I'm guessing the internet problems were because it was hosted somewhere that Australia has a bad connection to

[@RJE95]

You may want to traceroute to the geoguessr royale servers to figure out where it's having issues

[@cbailey4322]

I’ve always liked watching Battle Royale.

[@knudiinliverpool]

I'd love to see more Battle Royal countries. Treat it like a marathon and not a sprint.

[@WealthFACT0ry]

I tried it and i played with some bad pepole like i won every time😂

[@XRARMSS]

5:01 i think you mean cambodia not mongolia

[@zi8gzag]

i think so too!

[@user-wv2ot5qt6f]

15:46 As a greek, that is not a place. It is a political party in greece! Just an info

Day 2 of telling Zig that his content is appreciated

[@Alphapointer]

I thought they changed the map from World to ACW?

[@DoiInthanon1897]

They did with duels but Battle Royale was kept on the World Map

"i'm such a god, such above the mass, that i play npnz when i don't have to, and watch how i am better than these morons that move and pan"...

[@zi8gzag]

my friend, if the devs added no moving as an option i would only ever play that - this is how i prefer to play the game
