Nice work during the tournament. As a Chicagoan in exile in SoCal, I really admire your skills in recognizing the various parts of the USA. My approach is usually to just guess Ohio when things look like the midwest. That's my beginner hedge. Ok, back to surfing Google Street View....

Was an absolute pleasure to take part in one of your tournaments yet again! Thanks for giving me and my teammates the opportunity to compete with the best players in such a great tournament. Sorry about knocking you out with the Russia Plonk, but I had to do what I must 😅. Keep it up man, and continue to smash it! 👍
This is how just a youtuber can give life again to one game i've been playing GeoGuessr for more than 7 years and never this game had so much popularity.
since canada is the same continent as usa, and canada has similar road lines to usa, its hard to tell apart quickly on geoguesser im canadian, ive never been to the usa, but ive done some research. -Canada uses British English ('colour', 'centre', 'favourite', 'catalogue', etc.) -Speed signs in Canada say "MAXIMUM" instead of "SPEED LIMIT" -Road signs in canada are less 'wordy' and use mostly just icons instead of text (theres a wikipedia page comparing all usa-inspired road signs so you can tell the difference. even ones that look the same in usa in canada, still have differences) -Canada uses the Metric system -Bilingualism (not just quebec or ontario. most of canada has it. although not common on roads, its very common on all packaging sold in canada. maybe some signs or ads have it bilingual) -Pedestrian signs are a white rectangle with black borders, and either a zebra crossing or a straight line with a person walking on it -Canadians are less patriotic than americans, so there are noticably less flags in public. -Canada's domain is .ca -Depending on the location, stop signs say "STOP ARRÊT" -if you think "i feel like this is usa but something is off" its probably canada -the font on road signs (such as speed) is lighter than the ones in the usa (although that isnt consistant) -real estate ads with stupidly high prices (lol) -bike lane signs are not consistant, but the designs ive noticed are: blue background white circle with blue bike, green circle with bike in the middle) -times on road signs are in 24hr time there is a lot more, but im too tired to list them all. i love your content!
"Canadians are less patriotic than americans" couldn't be further from the truth, we just don't rub it in everyone's faces like Americans lol, I mean unless you are from Alberta 💀

Yup! I'm a Polish guy living in the US and those comments crack me up every time. Still trying to figure out what makes them Polish. Maybe there's a joke in there somewhere...
It’s crazy how I wait every week for these videos to come out and will watch it in one sitting rather then any movie that’s the same length or shorter love this content
For the first Sweden guess in the first round you can tell it's Gotland since it's a limestone island (same with Öland so the ocean hedge was a great guess). You can see a limestone wall on one side and the dirt/gravel parking lot on the other side is naturally really white.
Quality gameplay aside, I love how new inside jokes and metas are born with every tournament. Amazing job reunionbolt, you guys are making all this so enjoyable to watch.
Rainbolt you should do a 3v3 tourney bracket with all the casters on a team! Would be really fun and cool to watch you guys work together with actual guesses
I feel like he has the perfect face and voice for the world's most cracked super villain. Likely able to find supermans hideout just off the color of ice alone.
Woo the boys I cheered for won! An insane tournament with the semi-finals being so close, followed by what was the best finals ever between 2 teams of absolute God tier players able to find 5ks from both teams. I'd also like to make mention to the phenomenal casters and there ability to provide absolute top tier analytics!
1:00:26 jeepneys can be seen all over PH but most of them are in major cities. that type though (the OG look) is mainly in metro manila and baguio. they're present in other areas as well but those are the 2 places you can find them the most. iloilo jeeps have their own look while cebu, davao, etc. jeeps have a 'van look' (divided, flatter front).
Tip on POLAND from a professional Polish person... Look for the "ul." at the beginning of a street sign at an intersection. It's an abbreviation for the word "ulica" which means "street" in Polish. You see "ul. {some name here}" and you're in the land of the Poles. Now the "polish trees" I'm still trying to figure out myself. I don't recall anything special about our trees, but what do I know. I can't tell trees apart to save my life :) What I also recall from living in Poland are the giant nests the storks make at the top of power poles. This I think is prevalent across eastern Europe though as I saw them in Estonia as well when playing geoguessr. Definitely fun learning these little nuances of the world we live in.
1:00:00 CG is right, these signs only appear inside the Adirondack park. That means it’s only inside of the northern part of New York. Northwest of Albany, Northeast of Utica/Syracuse and south of Plattsburgh and Watertown.
There is a little fun fact here at 1:51:32 there is a leaked license plate, and the first two letters can show us where it is. BP for example is the license plate for Riau Islands.
1:00:20 Those aren’t futuristic busses, they are what we call “Jeepneys” (American WW2-era jeeps converted for public transportation) and they existed since the 60s (maybe older) Yes, they are abundant in (and near) Manila, generally in/near the NCR region, they do exist everywhere. edit: Not only do Jeepneys 100% indicate that you’re in ph, but also those Sidecar-Motorcycles, we like to call them “Tricycles”. The Sidecars design vary by region tho I don’t memorize them Region guessing is difficult because it is a bit lingual based, city/town/barangay names are useful to get a 4900+ score. You can tell south island (Mindanao) from north island (Luzon) but the actual region itself (ex. Region IV-A, Region IV-B, Region V, etc) is much harder. Especially in the middle island group (Visayas) where it could be anywhere
i honestly think time-limit should be lowered, so that guesses are faster. the higher the skill ceiling of these pros, the more likely the 5ks become when given enough time. being faster and forcing confusion should be a legit strat.
holy FUCK that last round, i had this on the background and i had to stop to watch. my heart was racing and the commentary just made it more nerve wracking hahaha
get lud to sponsor with his youtube money where we can have a tourney of two groups, one for sweaty players to get some competitive highlights, one for streamers to get some views incoming

thank youu
thank you alot i always look for this comment much appreciated

Every team needs a captain. The captain needs to be available for pre and or postmatch interviews. Lets take this to the next level :P
Such a good idea
This could be awesome, especially if expanded in some way. For example, seeing where teams are guessing in real time or tuning into their comms
@@Araknid42 comms thing would be cool but it's just not viable since most pros tend to be private, but yeah the captain thing could def be a good addition
I have a feeling I'll be dreaming of those Wyoming plates

im canadian, ive never been to the usa, but ive done some research.
-Canada uses British English ('colour', 'centre', 'favourite', 'catalogue', etc.)
-Speed signs in Canada say "MAXIMUM" instead of "SPEED LIMIT"
-Road signs in canada are less 'wordy' and use mostly just icons instead of text (theres a wikipedia page comparing all usa-inspired road signs so you can tell the difference. even ones that look the same in usa in canada, still have differences)
-Canada uses the Metric system
-Bilingualism (not just quebec or ontario. most of canada has it. although not common on roads, its very common on all packaging sold in canada. maybe some signs or ads have it bilingual)
-Pedestrian signs are a white rectangle with black borders, and either a zebra crossing or a straight line with a person walking on it
-Canadians are less patriotic than americans, so there are noticably less flags in public.
-Canada's domain is .ca
-Depending on the location, stop signs say "STOP ARRÊT"
-if you think "i feel like this is usa but something is off" its probably canada
-the font on road signs (such as speed) is lighter than the ones in the usa (although that isnt consistant)
-real estate ads with stupidly high prices (lol)
-bike lane signs are not consistant, but the designs ive noticed are: blue background white circle with blue bike, green circle with bike in the middle)
-times on road signs are in 24hr time
there is a lot more, but im too tired to list them all. i love your content!

- license plates and province/state flags (U.S. too!) are always good to know
- checkerboarded t-junction signs are exclusive to Canada, and if they're part of a large rectangular sign with two arrows pointing in either direction, it's usually Newfoundland
- Ontario uses black-and-orange traffic cones
- iirc yield signs in Canada have no text while U.S. ones say YIELD. not sure if this is 100% accurate

Ludwig moment
I can definitely see this getting much much bigger. Into the $10-$20k tournaments we go
there's a LAN hosted in France by la LigueIntercommu with a 25k (coincidentally) prize pool
Been watching all weekend for this to drop. Cracked teams, insane guessing

Rainbolt never misses.
That was absolutely epic.
That team is probably the best combo to have ever be seen in GeoGuesser History.
Right after Friend 1 & Friend 2
I feel like he has the perfect face and voice for the world's most cracked super villain. Likely able to find supermans hideout just off the color of ice alone.
Saw part of this one live/VOD. Amazing Tourney, thanks Rainbolt. Nice.
Ludwig should sponsor a 10k Geoguessr tourne would be lit. Pretty sure he said he would in one of his streams too
Found your channel about a week ago, lover your content! Keep up the good work RainBolt!
i live in reunion and it always makes me smile when a random guy from the states makes a joke about reunion island , gotta love it :)
Hope that Chicago will cast more. His voice is perfect for such tournaments
missed 2 hours of the tourney as i was on a ferry back to the uk ,so decided to wait for the vid to come out, hyped asf to watch this!!!
39:56 "It was in Reunion!" from Rainbolt as it's showing downtown Abuja is absolutely slaying me
Been waiting all weekend for this tourney. So stoked!
Insane tournament. The final was on a different level, finally got to see it live this time, great stuff 🔴🙂
That's so competitive and I can't even think how anxious I would've been If I played.
I just see this coming bigger and bigger and having break time activities between rounds and becoming a whole show
The whole tournament was SOO INTENSE it was amazing watching it live
These videos keep getting better and better I'm hooked
Rainbolt is one of a select group of people you could never abduct, cuz dude would know where he is as soon as you took his blindfold off😂😂😂
Really enjoyed watching! The excitement/emotion from the commentators really makes it
Woo the boys I cheered for won! An insane tournament with the semi-finals being so close, followed by what was the best finals ever between 2 teams of absolute God tier players able to find 5ks from both teams.

FINALLY YOU UPLOADED IT!!!! I WAS WAITING FOR 4 DAYS
It’s only been two days lol
@@substanceform4123 but god damn it it felt like a week
What a final round, honestly. That was incredible to watch
This was the first tournament I watched live, it was insane.
CG's voice is so nice to listen to, ngl. It's like a audio book voice!
POV: You were going to a party but you came here to watch a 2 hour geoguessr video instead
its so cute when u get excited
I feel like the sentence "and Stique knows the road" is said atleast once every tourny :D
This final matchup was nuts. Geoguessr is sick

He may not touch grass, but he knows the outdoors better than you do!
Wow, WHAT a tournament! 👏
sees random road: ah yes, estonia
I grew up a few miles away from that one in Scotland. I've never noticed the "girthy bollards" before 🤣🤣
That's my 2 hours sorted . Thanks bro always looking forward to these tournaments. Good hangover type content .
I like ur songs
Traveling Europe for vacation Vs traveling Europe for geoguessr practice
Insane final, great as always

Liking the beard growth bud. Keep growing it
Holy heck that was so cool!! Can't wait for next week!!
Wow this is like the 10th time there is a biggest geoguessr tournament
This final match might be best on history of the game
This game needs bigger sponsors... this was too sick 🔥
1:00:00 CG is right, these signs only appear inside the Adirondack park. That means it’s only inside of the northern part of New York. Northwest of Albany, Northeast of Utica/Syracuse and south of Plattsburgh and Watertown.
That finals match was so cracked. Loved it.

Bruh, u need to keep good shit coming up, that video about findind address from the song is such a masterpiece, it il go viral
Glad I was there to witness this historical event 🫡
the biggest and the best torunament!! everyone was having a great time
the biggest geoguessr tournament gets bigger every tournament
See your TikToks all the time. I’ve Watch bengals madden gameplay for years. never thought these two roads would cross lol.
The way I was on the edge of my seat for the entire video holy shit

very balanced teams
also i feel like rainbolt loves reunion
lovin these
Have you ever considered doing a best 2 of 3 for the finals of these tournaments?
I think the teams should be entirely randomized next time! That would be fun
I love seeing Toms image in everyones avatar lol. Love that guy
Someone should start counting "Oh my god" moments.
we need an all mobile tournament
bro i swear every week its the biggest torunament ever
We need post game interviews w the winners fr
i honestly think time-limit should be lowered, so that guesses are faster. the higher the skill ceiling of these pros, the more likely the 5ks become when given enough time. being faster and forcing confusion should be a legit strat.
oh my god the first time cg talks its beautiful
Glad that dusky guy didn't play
🤩Came for the tournament, stayed for Chicago Geographer's voice 😁💙
you're only 600 years late to call Shetlands Norway.
Bengal forever the MVP in my heart
final round was CRAZY
holy FUCK that last round, i had this on the background and i had to stop to watch. my heart was racing and the commentary just made it more nerve wracking hahaha
I just heard about this game and I was on the edge of my seat for this tourney

Low key huge idea
This man made geo guesser himself
you keep outdoing yourself with these tournaments each week man
At 1:27:16 Swedish is an official language in Finland so you can see it in other places than the border aswell
I actually remembered the dirt color of Brazil from the dirt clip.
That Finale was insane!
You might be one the fastest people ive ever heard talk
awww that location at 1:21:00 is almost exactly where I grew up, I had to pause and send pictures to my mom and brother that we're famous lol
Rare Rainbolt L, we bounce back next time! Loved the tourney
you should do it where theirs team captain and then they pick teams, like recess.
