Can I Rise to be #1 Ranked Geoguessr Duels Player??

[@griffinsparke6630]

Had a blast playing you. Never thought I’d play against the guy who got me into GeoGuessr! You’re getting #1 soon for sure

[@voqkez6755]

how did you practice to get good bro? i’m getting into it and have some really bad guesses rn lol

[@dasi2957]

@@voqkez6755 Honestly I would say just watch a lot of geoguesser content and learn tips and meta stuff. And you just need to play more to get more experience. You could also just study Google maps

[@zi8gzag]

gg!

[@DoiInthanon1897]

@@dasi2957 Great advice. I would have said something very similar. Looking at Google Earth and checking coverage in different areas and countries helps tremendously, and you have time to digest everything specific to whatever area you’re in, and what it looks like. Just doing a quick look at the Kamchatka peninsula in eastern Russia gave me a better idea of what the area looks like which can help in future games.

Can confirm that brick surfaces on the streets in the Netherlands are for 30km/hour streets. They increase road noise and makes it uncomfortable to drive quickly, hence making drivers more likely to stick to the speed limit.

[@disphugginflip9279]

That’s me @8:01! Beating you made my night! I got lucky with the trekker, If it wasn’t for that you def would have beaten me. The NZ guess was a panic guess. I actually made a map on Aus & NZ utility poles. Another 10sec I would have guessed Brisbane. Blew my mind you were spot on on Gold Coast. Been wondering all night how you knew… now I do!

[@eneaganh6319]

Nice Are you in zigcord

[@MizterJackk]

this one of my favorite series!! excited to see you get #1 eventually

[@kingofmontechristo]

I doubt that it will happen. It would take a lot of time to practice

[@davedegoeij9721]

20:10 yeah its very frequently used in residential areas which are 30km or even 15km zones

[@sanh5564]

funfact: at 21:34 the buildings in the background have signs on top saying 北京 which means Beijing (mirrored on one of them, right way around on the other)

[@derpyderp1991]

19:00 I recognised that area instantly because I lived in Gympie, Queensland for around 10 years

5:00 you could see in the fog a VERY big bridge. It is quite similar to the golden gate, but it is in the bay of lisboa

[@zi8gzag]

good call

[@elionmaters9985]

20:10 Coming from a Dutchie, I've never heard of that before but it would make sense. Patterns like this are very common in residential areas, where 30km/h is usual.

[@bill-clintongaming]

In the Virgin Islands red car is St Croix, white car with no antenna is also St Croix, white car with antenna is other

[@norbertkaldy7563]

@ 32:12 those blue&Red street signs are Warsaw exclusive I believe.

[@davedegoeij9721]

21:15 I actually strongly associate those sings with Bulgaria, with the two type of scripts 🤔

[@davedegoeij9721]

@Kromess Brate ah yeah fair enough

[@harryward1186]

in the portugal round, those coloured tile roofs are extremely common, so if i see them its an immediate hedge straight somewhere in portugal for me. Im not sure though of any other countries that have them that commonly.

[@raygun4390]

czech has thin white border on their signs too mate. slovakia the black basically extends to the end

[@michael_nagik]

loll don't worry about the philppines round too much, I also didn't get it the first time despite living near manila lol. the only thing that gave it away from me is the shop named "conti's" there

[@starshipx1282]

what u missed in that second game was that guy at 12:13 is wearing the common pakistani/indian clothes; kurta (a shirt down to the knees kind of) or also called shalwar kameez. Perhaps useful clue sometimes

[@fmazix6535]

32:25 you can also see buildings like this in Cracow and Gdańsk but most of the time this should just be in Warsaw

[@gwts1171]

I live near where that US healing round was and I thought it was Albania or something, so don't feel too bad about not getting it!

[@adrienserre1560]

It's funny to me how pro Geogussr players operate sometimes. Zig is obviously 100x better than me at the game but how do you recognise 'Portuguese pavement' (whatever this may be) but not the iconic 25 de Abril Bridge in Lisbon?

[@RobertHo987]

being good at this game is much more about knowing clues that may repeat in a country/region rather than memorizing various landmarks that one might encounter in the off chance

[@adrienserre1560]

@@RobertHo987 Sure, I get that but how can you accumulate some much arcane knowledge while being completely oblivious to things that you'd think would be basic knowledge for a player of that caliber (and this does not only apply to him, obviously)?

[@RobertHo987]

@@adrienserre1560 think you overestimate how iconic the 25 abril bridge is, its not exactly the eiffel tower and zig is from Aus i think most people outside Europe will not know of it

idk why but the trekker round where you went out I immediately after like 0.1 secs in the round knew its Pakistan. That sort of almost washed out orange bricks with castle looking buildings is always pakistantrekker..

With normal Map you would probably get way more value… But continue the streak you got this 👍

[@yoran_plays]

Funchal is a city on the island madeira😄

[@gamesetmatt23]

8:41 It just blows me away that you miss massive landmarks like the Q1 building, and don't instantly know which city that is. Sure, ok you got it in the end, but you need to learn your landmark buildings! I saw that you missed the Auckland Sky Tower recently also. Instant give-aways for most. Also, GC is much flatter than Brisbane, and that is such a typical GC suburban area.

[@gamesetmatt23]

I guess this isn't so much a criticism.. It's just so mind blowing that you can tell a country/region/city by the tiniest details, but completely miss the elephant in the room! 😂😂

Trekkers disgust me on an official map. I know all the pros hat eon the World map, and for the most part I think its not terribly called for. But I 100% agree with them on the fact of the trekkers. If World map dropped those, I'd think it was an ok (not great, but, ok) map, but because of them I still think its a below average map. Too bad the devs have nearly abandoned making the game better in the last few months.

[@adrake1]

Part of mastering the World map (gross) is those trekker locations...I once had a Netherlands trekker twice in a row and neither time did I actually choose Netherlands! Lost me the game against a much lower rated player 😅
