Zigzag, a small tip for Hong Kong is that if you see tall skyscrapers, central business district, urban area, and busy traffic. It’s 99% of the time the southern island

[@frijoless22]

you just described all of hong kong (except the mountain parts)

[@aditsu]

Well, there are the regular 30-40 story concrete residential buildings which are all over HK, and then there are the actually tall metal-and-glass office skyscrapers located mostly in/around Central (northern part of HK Island or "southern island" as you describe it) and in west or south Kowloon; basically, around the harbor.

[@IISSAACC]

The easier meta for Hong Kong is that the tram is just on one street on Hong Kong Island

[@EthanJamesBray]

@@frijoless22mate that’s the whole idea of the tip

[@PiikachUwU_OSRS]

I wish you would say, like, "This is South Africa, I can tell because of X and X" etc. A lot of countries I am fairly good with, especially given time, but the SPEED with which you identify the country is astouding. An eye tracker vid one day would be sick!

[@wakejald2611]

he has a second channel - Geogussr Explained - where he does exactly this

[@PhatInAHat]

When he's playing competitively in duels like this he should mostly focus on being as precise as possible with his guesses! He explains things more than enough already given the limited time he has.

[@curiosity5697]

if you want to save yourself the struggle of opening the emoji wheel, you can just press 4 on your keyboard to wave! great duels and content, keep it up!

[@explorernate]

I always have to hold Alt before pressing 1-6 to do the emotes. Are you doing it without Alt?

[@curiosity5697]

@@explorernate yes

[@chateauthibault]

2:30 I swear I’ve heard Finbarr say that the roads in Kastroma are terrible quality whereas this one looked quite nice

[@t9zi]

20:15 the most humble geoguessr player 🙏

[@Jonah_Anthony]

Really liking these long videos! Glad to hear you're feeling better

[@davidwalker3626]

5:05, looks like that little hut on the right has the Lombok bell-shaped roof that Kodiak was talking about last week

[@frey44q]

hey keep an eye out for the bell shaped thatch roof for lombok 5:26 🙂

[@ashraffhaiqal632]

and lombok is muslim majority too

[@luckydog32]

Wow I can't believe you actually went against THE Tom. Dudes a legend.

[@glxtchplaya666]

hi goat

[@geo_panda]

great playing oscar, excited to see more of the series! i have a question, how do you handle nerves in the game (e.g. world cup or duels)?

[@smorajs]

Bizarrely, I just had the same Puerto Rico round in my duel today. My opponent and I both got the 5k so I probably played a fellow Zigzag enjoyer. :D

[@Secretlyanothername]

Love this challenge format. I've actually lived in East Timor/Timor-Leste (the independent country), and a West Timor guess was pretty reasonable there. Those basic stick fences and dry environments are a real feature of that part of eastern Indonesia.

[@annikinstarkiller600]

I enjoy your channel and the wealth of info about the world and the game that you share with the viewers! Keep it up

[@AdamZaninovich]

Loving this series already!

[@FigsyGames]

Great video love the duel series

[@ricktrickshots2642]

23:36 is common in Hungarian forests and generally europe

[@_vikk_]

"i did it for love" must have changed a nick like a few days ago, cause it's the phrase from the Don Toliver's latest song (i could tell by his pfp).

[@dragonmc2003]

It's a tame impala song tho

[@dragonmc2003]

So he could just mean that

[@turtlewhohatescabbage1157]

23:40 As other pointed out, those are like forest workers' signals for each other whoich trees to cut down or sth. They're either stickers or more commonly, spray paint in different colours (ie white and orange-reddish in Germany). Also in some countrires you have like metal plates on the trees with small numbers on them which is the counting system for city governments, you know, to identify trees quickly within their city. This isn't a forest thing tho, more common in parks and along roads :)

[@ridaelmoutaoukki2047]

The GOAT is back in competitive

[@georgiag3741]

saying that was cornwall physically hurt me🥲

[@Frederick-765]

That hong kong guess was hong kong island and not kowloon because of the trams. Trams are only found on the southern island (hong kong island)

[@Matthew_F]

The thumbnails are going super Saiyan

[@IIIAnchani]

Small tip for the japan round... If it looks like it could be a place in a fukushima desaster documentary, it's probably around there xD

[@Cav4gj]

20:34 - 'I'm just going to click Cornwall' *clicks Devon/Somerset* :')

[@PhatInAHat]

Somerset.

[@Cav4gj]

@@PhatInAHat it may as well have been Timbuktu, if it's not the best region in the world (Cornwall) then it's nowhere :')

[@PhatInAHat]

@@Cav4gj do you live there or are you a vacationer?

[@cgirlie]

I'm from Croatia and the stickers (with the phone numbers) on the poles are really common, especially for cutting down trees so they're in urban and rural places.. idk for other countries though

[@knuspai807]

18:32 US Virgin Islands have left hand driving, you probably know and just forgot ^^

[@peacefuI]

im glad youre not sick anymore!!

[@MoodDiyam]

this guy is a legend

[@PrezDub]

I once played against Oscar, he started to spam "FREELO" after the game had concluded

[@stealth6308]

Can’t believe bro missed that easy Algeria lock in the thumbnail 💀

[@Alex-tz9lg]

That aussie guy you faced was right next to you on the leaderboard lol

[@liamjp99]

I’m definitely underrated because I’ve lost probably around 6 duels due to either my computer or the website glitching out, not sure which one :-P

[@RubbishFPS]

Time to upgrade your potato.

[@liamjp99]

@@RubbishFPS It’s actually really sh*tty that my computer is having problems right now. It was an expensive gaming laptop that I bought brand new for like $1800 only a few years ago. I’m hoping that it just has something to do with all the cat hair in my house and I can just get it cleaned :P But I don’t think that’s causing the black screen of death problem that you get in Geo…

[@PhatInAHat]

20:30 "I'm gonna click Cornwall here 'cos I'm a baller"... clicks two counties over in Somerset.

[@loopyt6205]

I don’t know if this is a known glitch but if I play npmz on my ipad I can actually look around even though the the movement is very shocky (idk how to describe it) I can see everything fully even fully behind me

[@treezerik]

It’s been a known exploit for years

[@landcruiserfan4206]

Yea I have the same on OC. Kinda feels like cheating but I do it occasionally lol

[@freshsmilely]

those first 2 games were quite the nail biters.

[@PhatInAHat]

I think a takeout from these last couple of duels vids is that you should completely ignore what emojis your opponent sends to you - more often than not they seem to be either misleading or straight up bluffing!

[@oschwald9784]

13:47 thai goat vibes

[@wombatking2179]

yo zigzag i heard you on the radio today, good job

[@simonnt]

24:58 gen 2 exists in Switzerland but it's extremely rare

[@fleek6319]

sick boy is back and goated 🔥

[@desargues_]

bro is one of the best players but still uses mouse for sending reactions

[@fabianc6025]

The only reason we (Puerto Rico) are a US territory is because we’re obliged to. We always do things our own way 😅

[@FlabbergastedCat]

very well played today zi8gzag

[@CM-cb2km]

I drove by the Swedish barn in the first round a few months ago, nice! 🤩

[@Nestlesus]

fun fact: you cant make google translates speak to make the word eaux or eau

[@stop_drop]

eaux neaux

[@MrCguy24]

I think most stickers on trees in US are like blue rectangle I’ve never seen a sticker that shape on a tree

[@palmtreegal3]

Awesome video!

[@alliebooo]

i love this series!

[@imtherealclown]

Indo training definitely helps

[@kiwifarmer8828]

The USA guess t 26 min hadan evergreen magnolia, which is certainly warmer climate plant.

[@abadiel6348]

olive trees are much more common south in Spain, as you said hehe

[@supergaming7793]

Nice video 🎉

[@asmodeuszdewa7194]

I had no idea Mateusz Morawiecki plays geoguessr

[@Mxrcxry]

Goated series

[@BurgoYT]

I remember you from that one round

[@Mxrcxry]

@@BurgoYT ohhhh that one glitched round 😭

[@lazybugatti]

21:40 someone clip this sound lol

[@annaderda436]

nice shirt! ;))

[@malter87]

who did you play in the first game? they totally knew you and threw on purpose... must have been someone you know well? maybe from the world cup?

[@zi8gzag]

idk

[@treezerik]

It was ronaq

[@zi8gzag]

that makes sense

[@taylorallen1949]

G.O.A.T🐐🐐

[@GeoguessrFC]

That dudes Indo guess😮

[@mrwalter7205]

Love it!

[@lucabaracuda987]

so whats 5/5 games .. only 5 daily duels per day or somethhing? i have like 11/15 on move for weekly....

[@NathanLipetz]

You get 5 games per week that count towards the competitive season. But you are allowed to play more that count for elo but not season points afterwards.

[@4ndeol]

damn awesome one

[@yanks250125]

USVI drives left

[@liamjp99]

What do you mean when you say the other player “might be a Smurf”?

[@1ThisIsMyNameNow1]

Smurfs are alt accounts of highly experienced players, characterized by much stronger play than their rank suggests or in this case a very low amount of games for their skillset.

[@Darrius77]

tom u played zigzag? lmao

[@activatewindows7415]

16:04 OMG lets go my home city again. I'm leaning towards kowloon, because central is usually more congested. edit: oh it's just wan chai rip edit2: wtf I missed the frickin trams
