[@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

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.)

[@nicholasbrovey2145]

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

Same, havent played Trackmania in over 15 years, still find his videos satisfying and entertaining, makes me relax for some reason 😅

@@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.

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.

[@cosmoIogic]

That Otaaq slideout scared me forever

sounds like it scared wirtual as well lol

[@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.

[@MartiniBlankontherest]

That intro-map is such a tell. Carl is such a GOAT

[@__8120]

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

[@SuprSBG]

Cup of the Year

[@Enirom]

yes

[@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

[@p00rstr94]

oh nooo that last slide >.< BUT SO INTENSE Loved it!! Congratulations to CarlJr!!

[@equolizer]

Big props to Mudda for going for the instant fistbump when Mime got second place at 41:12. No moaning, no ego, just good sportsmanship.

[@glenjamindle]

This was some top level commentary. Better than any sport I've ever watched.

[@LTMStarlight]

Literally the first competitive match I have ever seen and honestly both my heart was racing and I am also wondering why the heck does comp not have a 1v1 mode or even a 4 way mode (although I can understand why they wouldn’t make a 4 way mode.)

What a crazy effort from Mime, this kid has a championship in his future.

[@bradg8635]

Great job doing play by play and analysis! You guys were great. Really good competition too.

[@MasterRyko32]

Ngl, otaaq has a very bright future. He’s only 17 and made the finals and he crashed many times while being first. Imagine if he can just clean those mistakes up even half of them. The outcome would of been extremely different. Cant wait to see how he does next World Cup!

[@foxx32]

This was super cool to watch. One question, for anyone more knowledgeable: it felt a little unfair that Carl's choice got to be played twice (and be the winner determining map), how does that ordering get decided? Felt like if Quicksand was 1st, the result could have been entirely different as Carl wasn't as strong there. Thanks!

[@sergea.k.aleche7483]

The map order is determined by the seed of each player so it's intended to give a potential help to the first seed

[@jeanjacques9365]

It's based on the previous rounds so it isn't unfair someone's map has to be played more than once it should be the reward for earlier stages which are otherwise meaningless (1st and 2nd get through and there is no difference).
