The Trackmania World Cup Final 2022

[@WirtualTV]

Wanted to upload this as an epic introduction to Trackmania Esports. It was played in July 2022, and its one of the greatest matches ever played. Some background on players: CarlJr - Widely considered the Trackmania GOAT, going for his 5th World Champion title. Mudda - Best Fullspeed Player in the game. Coming into world cup with momentum after beating CarlJr 1v1 in the finals of 'Trackmania Grand League' Mime - Young Polish prodigy, 19 at the time of this match Otaaq - Young French prodigy, 17 at the time of this match

[@marshmelows]

Thanks for the upload man!

[@belaheiden2357]

The introduction worked, I really look up to the next tournament to watch

[@Idkwhattoputhere...306]

yep,its pretty nc to see this match.

[@juannunez4436]

Questions guys/ladies. My brother got a netbook with linux. I read some ways to make trackmania 2020 to work thou idk if the netbook will handle the graphics. But even then, i wanted to ask what is the best approach to make TM2020 work on linux right now? And if 2020 doesnt run well then he will play nations forever or something.

[@wido123123]

Thanks! Can you add 'July' In the title? I really though this was recent (I don´t follow the calendar so I had no idea)

[@DatNameWasTaken]

Can you imagine how strong he'll be when he gets promoted to CarlSR?

[@CCheukKa]

He'll probably get arthritis or some other old people disease so perhaps it's best that he stays Jr

[@klauswinski6683]

This isn't even his final form

[@wroomwroomboy123]

That'd be French Carl, the 2006 ESWC champ. Who plays with the tag SuperCarlouf

[@jordank1813]

He'll probably be strongest as Carl

[@flawz3391]

Good one hahaha

[@Hoch134]

CarlJr really was the most consistent player in this field, almost never making mistakes. I can't believe how close it got in the end.

[@deeztaplin8922]

not really consistent in the mid section

Wirtual I don't even play TM but i started out watching your documentaries on map shortcuts and I just fell in love with your narrating. I started watching you on twitch when I could (I lived in america). Now I'm in korea temporarily and I cannot watch you stream, but it makes my day every time I see you upload a video. Thank you so much for the entertainment!

[@Gya-roo]

You could probably still watch with a VPN. That's how I usually watch region-locked streams for some of the asian streamers I like to follow. (I use ExpressVPN not a plug, but there's other good ones as well.)

@Gyaru oh its not a vpn issue. Just a timezone issue. But thank you!

@@eclipseeffigy I mean sure. Personally I think a supercut of all the hype moments that happened in the tourney, or a collection of winners the past x years. Hype music, commentators going wild.

props to players of course, but also massive props to the casters for making this very digestable for someone not that into trackmania, and for putting in incredible energy throughout

[@clandestin011]

Congrats to carljunior! But to me the most impressive thing is mudda being able to compete at this level after basically only playing deep fear for a year

[@fsdejf]

Huh? He didn't play deep fear at all for almost 2 years when the world cup happened, only got back to it after.

[@PerpetuusTenebris]

This is my first time learning about TM Esports, and this was super exciting. I was hoping Mime might be able to snipe it, but clutched out in the end. GGs all around, very good performances.

I remember watching this live SO well, it was a super weird time in my life. can't believe it's only been 5 months, what a time capsule is this upload.

[@furuberg_]

It's weird it's not a reverse points final? It's feels awkward that the match continues after a champion is crowned. Should start with 140 points and go down to 0 and the last one standing wins to make it a so much more intense final and proper winning moment that ends the match

[@travisguzik5739]

Thanks for re-posting. So much fun and very intense. Ohhhh and reat job with the commentary.
