Pete getting sponsored! Congratulations

[@TesterIsDone]

Pete is it just me or does it feel so sad that Brazil advanced is so close to being a full South America map but is barely off? Why can’t they just add the rest of Argentina and Chile in the bottom?!?

[@Kylted]

Thanks for hosting. It was a ton of fun designing this Tournament and then watching it play out and then to cast the finals with you. What a monumentous day for Risk

[@Kylted]

Bonus game. Take a shot every time I say 'Notoriously' 🤣

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

I was trying to figure out how it’s a Deez Nuts joke.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It's possible you understated your contribution. We all owe you many thanks Kyle. Here's to doing our part to build competitive Risk into the amazing destiny I'm sure we'll have. Cheers brother 🍻

[@stevesartain5804]

Yeah loved the interpretation of you guys, great job and thanks for all your hard work.😂

[@HudsonHornet250]

Just wanted to mention that the commentary of this game was top notch, I must salute you for that, you did a great job of explaining what was happening throughout in a way those familiar and not familiar with Risk would understand. Glad to have competed in this tournament, and I hope that I can participate alongside everybody again in the next iteration of the Kill Pete Open. It has been a blast!

[@Blazen_A]

GGs everyone 🔥 This was an insane experience and what an intense game it was! Understandably I made some mistakes that I never usually would, cause the nerves were UNREAL but I hope to improve from this experience, as hopefully in future, the pressures of other finals won’t feel nearly as daunting. (I’m gonna review the Vod to see what I missed now) And thanks Pete for this opportunity!

[@plazmafield]

Congrats Blazen, already working on something special for you server side and for Pete.

[@ericgulseth74]

Congratulations!

[@zernex6629]

Congratulations!

[@Blazen_A]

@@plazmafield👀 Now I’m intrigued

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

You are a Hero! Congrats on winning the title of the inaugural KPO. Your trophy is being created as we speak.

[@parkerquigleypuff]

You and Kyle are a great duo. Loved the chemistry in the commentary! Thanks for the tournament! Glad to be a spectator.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thanks man! Cant wait for next season.

[@Risk4Ever]

The best tourney there ever was! 🤘

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I appreciate that Champ! We'd love to get you in on the next one. Please let me twist your arm.

[@TesterIsDone]

SPOILER BLOCKER - definitely don’t want to know how this ends until the video is over :)

[@ZytphenA]

❤ I salute you sir

[@davids8345]

I clicked the sponsor because I was interested, and it had the winner up there... doh :)

[@davids8345]

Congratulations to Blazen, well deserved.. Well done to all the finalists, and in fact well done to anyone that participated in the KPO! Thanks Pete and Kylted for putting it together!!

[@felix0003]

Very insane final as I hoped, loved your and kylteds commentary, definitely want more of that!

[@samboyea]

Thanks for the tournament Pete! It was super fun and can’t wait for the next one!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Ggs Samboy! Excellent performance! I can't wait either

[@JUICESCRIES]

Wow! I'm so glad to see new faces playing in finals. You can feel the nerve on every turn. Great settings. Great tournament. Lots of fun! Thanks Pete and Kylted!

[@simplylovely9095]

Great commentary by Pete and Kylted. Very much enjoyed the final which is also a great tutorial. Can't wait for KPO2.

[@matthewleach5151]

I’ve never heard of any of those players and the finals was still very exciting. Great job hosting to both of you. Pete, thanks for sponsoring the tournament for us viewers. Congrats to all of the finalists. The Risk community is is the best! I can’t wait for season 2 of the KPO!

[@PowdergameFan18]

What an excellent final. Masterful display of small inaccuracies by every player adding up, and honestly not having 6 “Yep, it’s over” grandmasters made for a very exciting and surprising final round of turns!

[@silverscrub2414]

Couldn’t have asked for a more entertaining finals. What a tourney, look forward to the next one

[@ericgulseth74]

Man, what a fun game to watch! The tension was palatable.

[@thelastname6795]

The passion from you pete talking and commentating on essentially your risk baby was incredibly great to watch

[@relytunder]

around 35:00 when the announcer is describing the host death. and the look on Pete's face trying to relax knowing he is on deaths door

[@frostyaces4103]

That accidental card skip stopped him from having a set on his final turn, what a rough mistake for orange

[@STR4nG3boy]

GG to Blazen and thank you to all who made this possible, l had a wonderful time and learned a lot, looking forward to season 2!

[@PioDoria]

What a great final game! Congrats on a truly well thought out tournament and awesome commentary from you and Kylted.

[@hazbinhotel5488]

This final round was nuts. It was kinda hard to pay attention to because the map was so big and the pathing was so crazy. Kudos to you guys for setting up this final round...this really did test the skill of the players in a way that I really haven't seen done before. There is only one way to escape the deep chasms of empty space...and the answer comes from within!

[@billhendrix3641]

Congratulations to all that participated and those that made this tournament possible. This was fun to watch.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

[@rickf8166]

You and Kyle killed it in commentary! Great casting and it was super cool to get both your insights on the moves and how you saw the game unfolding. Really look forward to you guys commentating another tournament in the future!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I'm glad you liked it

[@kennethalpvik7255]

This is how all tournaments should be. Great job all, players and organizers. This level of commentary is just great. Keep up the great work - look forward to upcoming tournaments 😃🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Appreciate it! We're trying to make competitive Risk the best we can so definitely looking forward to applying the lesson's I've learned from the KPO in future tournaments.

[@Hewdog92]

Amazing job hosting your first tourney Pete! Kudos to kylted and all the people who had a big hand in helping!!

[@EvertfromNederland]

This looked really really hard. 60 seconds to calculate pathing and execute? Props to all who made it GG. And well done organizing, I had a blast watching it

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thanks man! It was well worth the effort and I'm looking forward to the next one.

[@vez3834]

As they discussed during the commentary: You should be calculating pathing while the others are executing their turns. Especially in a tournament with prize money.

[@EvertfromNederland]

@@vez3834 Yes they did, and they were right. And a championshp is not supposed to be easy. Just to be clear, I meant it as a compliment, that's why I gave props.

[@Alexand3ry]

That was a crazy finish. It felt like every player could have won for about two rounds in a row, and there wasn't quite the speed or vision to execute. Good luck Blazen sealing the deal!

[@stevesartain5804]

True that clock was brutal 😢😅

[@Jeremy-2467]

The two risk streamers I watch, fun to have you guys combined! Good commentary combo

[@stevesartain5804]

The commentary was great guys, great job and thanks for all your hard work putting together a great Tourney. I loved both your analyse( yours and your buddy, whats his name, stupido right 😂) , showing 2 major orange fails.. and even doing half off it would have meant blue was first out anyway, followed by orange. Funny how it turned out.

[@sydekontrol2330]

I loved the commentary, but I couldnt help but be reminded of the movie "Dodgeball" "its getting hot in here Cotton"... on ESPN the Ocho

[@yousillygoose6958]

I wonder how orange is feeling after knowing he essentially lost the game because he missed a card from running out of time. Alas, he will surely know better in future tournaments and likely dominate. It's hard work to path multiple kills especially with portals, so many opportunities to win throughout the game. Very exciting 👏

[@ThePro455]

Great job on the tournament design and congratulations on the results!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thank you!

[@wsty9417]

Dam look at that quality! 2160p about time🚀

[@brandonbodwell1274]

Not a fan of card skipping but I did it for about 15 rounds in a game last night. I was trapped in a 1 space in/out only situation. Long story short I had enough blocking so other players all chose to go different direction and attacked eachother. I waited til was only 2 of us left and saw the remaining player lose 80 troops taking a capital . Then fortified my 300 stack into position thinking he'd fortify some huge number by me but he didn't so I blasted through all his territories. He eventually died on my original card skipping spot and it was game over. Probably 1 of only times I've ever felt it was best move. I was getting 15 troops a turn and new they were jmkilling eachother while I was stacking unharmed.

[@BeeWarrior_]

Orange didn't miss his card on the turn you thought, it was the turn previous he hit end turn accidentally I think.

[@BeeWarrior_]

100% cost him the game I think

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

That's such a bummer

[@gothia1715]

Thanks for the Tourney. That was a joy to watch! ♥ SPOILER: 34:48 Nobrainer kill here. Blue really has to thank Orange for the win. Being the fish with five cards and the guy who has lines on you for an easy kill does literally nothing is quite a thing to happen 😁 Something must went wrong on Oranges side. I believe he had to go afk or something

[@JoroEdde]

Wish it was possible to watch every game of the tournament. See all the different strats players have

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

A spectate mode in game would be super cool

[@ydp868]

Man, if orange didn't miss a card from thinking and running out of time he could have killed green and steamrolled

[@ydp868]

Wow, AND he got down to the last 1v1 and he lost because he had no cards on 4? That 1 missed card literally cost orange the entire game lmao

[@gamers_1]

Nice game pete as always 👍❤️🔥 Watched the stream

[@Delfontes]

Great game, but after watching Pete and Kilted play they would have swept like 3-4 times before the end, reminds me of a poker tournament when you have a big field a lot of luck is involved getting to the finals, congrats to all who played!

[@stevesartain5804]

I was wondering, when you were looking at oranges potential path there, why you didnt think of going through that 1 sitting to the SE ?🎉

[@tommasogallo5514]

Hey Pete I discovered this videogame thanks to you. Now I have some free time and I love to watch your videos. For this reason I begun watching ALL your videos from the first ones. What happened to Game 19 of the series from beginner to grandmaster?

[@plazmafield]

Going to check out Airy chat to see if I like it. Given my server focus, it fits within the realm of what I use. The additional aspect is if I can create mid journey like art to present as inspiration to my art team... The guys who I actually want doing the art :P not the accountant turned data analyst (me)

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Did you like it?

[@plazmafield]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy I'm concerned to not see a cancel subscription option. I've seen this before and it means that users have to email the company to cancel a subscription. I noticed when I was looking at account stuff and noticed how empty it was. As for the AI, I'll get back to you on that part. I was going to try out the art AI to see its capabilities and so forth. And then I'll see if it can manage code language it specifies better than ChatGPT 3.5 (which is free). Or, if it can actually do some other languages too, just wasn't designed with that in mind. Basically, to test its capabilities :P Obviously what it advertises is what one should expect so I'm going into it with that in mind, but given consideration to free alternatives. With respect to art AI, there's not much that's free, and what's free usually isn't great and has a water stamp across it. So we'll just say it's not competing with free on that front. Nor is it competing with mid journey as it doesn't hyperspecialize in the art creation. I've used/seen a few different results from various AIs on this front, I'll let you know my opinions once I try it out with a use case in mind

[@plazmafield]

The AI response is able to handle languages it doesn't advertise. The text output is slow, though maybe I just need to change a setting. It seems to give up quickly, but to be fair, I didn't exactly give it a straight forward task to solve

[@philjohnson1744]

It can be hard to create a movement. Mighty cool that this is a thing.

[@notschack6205]

37:00 orange didn't skip a card that turn. And when he did card skip the turn before it was on purpose and not "accidental" by running out of time.

[@Truthliness]

It wasn’t because he ran out of time, but I still thought it was still an accidental misclick

[@ItsThatVogue]

28:35 it looks like green is setting up the white kill but doesn't go for it?

[@belshanaar6317]

I feel so bad for orange I've been there in regular games where I just stared at the kill lines.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

it's upsetting for sure.

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

Hey Pete, what do you think should happen to bot outs? There needs to be some kind of punishment. I lost a game today because 2 people botted the same turn in a 4 player remaining game so they didn’t take a card and sat on 2 cards. I had the kills lined up and was going to win easily with the kill sequencing. Ended up getting 4th because I couldn’t set with the kills and ended up dying to the remaining player because he targeted me first the next turn.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I think we need a way to incentivize against disconnecting. Like some kind of karma score

[@johndeane2485]

Can anyone confirm whether Pete has an air fryer?!! NEED TO KNOW

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I do not

[@sproge2142]

Gotta say, IMO alliences on progressive really kills the strategy of taking a bonus, like the co casters story about taking an early bonus and suddenly everyone starts cooperating to take you down. Every game just turns into the same "spread out your troops and look for kills" game, there's no room at all for any defensive play beyond just spreading out, something you want to do anyways to make easier kills. And heaven forbid you fall ever so slightly behind and get unlucky with your cards, they matter even more than usual because the total troop count is lower as nobody can hold a bonus :/

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Believe it or not prog world dom can stalemate. In a world finals like this one with all excellent players we needed a way to incentivize action. Players taking bonuses on this board would have risked stalemating the game which we succeeded in avoiding the whole tournament. Some prog maps are bonus maps. This one plays better when nobody has advantage

[@sproge2142]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy I'm sorry, I don't quite understand, could you please explain what makes this map more likely to stalemate? And I don't quite understand how alliences incentives action, when all the players know they'll get ganged up on if they go for a bonus there's no incentive for any aggressive action until they can recoup their losses by stealing cards. And there's not enough easy bonuses for everyone, and those easy bonuses are quite exposed, so I just get really confused. Thanks for taking the time to respond and explain stuff, mighty nice for such a big youtuber to take the time to do it! ❤️

[@nickwoollon9855]

Hey, was this not advertised to be live at 17:00UTC on Sunday 3rd September? Because you never went live on Twitch at that time :/

Quick question, is there a discord or website that has centralized information on tournaments

[@FullromFabian]

What do those big circles around the number mean?

[@mcbrideless2064]

Will you be doing more youtube streams in the future in addition to Twitch?

[@Menelaus95]

I have watched so many videos wondering when I would actually see a Prague map before realizing it is prog. for progressive.

[@jasehildreth1003]

Hey blaze, im new to the game and take your info to heart, but the players i play against are noobs and will constantly attack me and allow someone else to win. Got any suggestions?

[@asityplays8964]

NOOOO I MISSED IT

[@zacharygrouwinkel1534]

As much as I’d like Pete to win this tournament, it’s great that he’s not in the finals so we get to hear his commentary without him having to focus on playing the game.

[@austinpena426]

The passiveness cost the game for couple of players 😂

[@daniel-44366]

Yeah I agree when you started talking abuot the psychological strategy how you want to play based on your opponent's emotions, maybe this guy will feel threatened so he'll break me maybe this guy will suicide into another guy if I let him out of a pocket cuz hisn cap just got stolen. Its a very interesting aspect and creates a good skill gap which I like.
