I like the idea of eventually switching the format to allow moving. Play how you want! Loving the content either way.
could you help me reach 1000 subscribers??
Totally agree! Play how you want, you have to enjoy making the content as much as we enjoy watching it!
As a fellow 850+ player indeed it's unbalanced facing 1.2k rated players as well
But it has the benefit of feeling really low risk-high reward
@@billieeilishsucks7918 I mean sure but if you take the win ratio vs way higher rated players its extremely high so at that point its just gambling
I managed to beat two 1150 players yesterday, got 50pts, so now I am a 900 ^^
I prefer it as a 900-1000 rated, sometimes win them and gain heaps, if I lose it’s only like a 5 elo loss
@@zHaste yes. We need more subdivisions
The guy that got a good guess on Vitória, Brazil but couldn't recognize Australia actually was from Brazil because of his profile picture from a brazilian soccer team.
@James-Michael Robinson Equipe de futebol
good shout
9:55 Geoguesser pro says "Should be just east of Melbourne" then proceeds to click west (Face Palm) haha. Thanks for the videos @zi8gzag!
4:28 I finally see you get a round in my neck of the woods (Vancouver/Burnaby, BC) and you knew it almost right away! That was only a few kilometers from where I am now.
Kronofogden in the Sundsvall round is a Swedish government agency that gets after people who don't pay their bills. I tried to find what the same agency is in Australia, but couldn't find it. If you have sent an invoice and a few reminders and your customer still hasn't paid you send the bill to the Kronofogden and they will for example put a note on your salary and will divert a certain amount every month before you even get the money until your debt is paid. You are right, the first part "Krono" means crown, like the currency (Sweden, Denmark, and Norway all use different currencies that are all called crowns, or kronor). Literally translated the kronofogd is some administrator of the crown. The building you saw was probably a service center from Kronofogden, Skatteverket, och Försäkringskassan, three government agencies that all have something to do with taxes and money, and if you need something you go to their common service center.
One more episode of this chill series, thanks Zig
17:19, The white-blue rectangular bus stop sign with the other white-blue rectangular sign below it can only be found in Budapest, also the green trash can at the bottom of the pole is pretty common in Budapest as well, altough i think you can find it in other big hungarian cities as well.
Maybe an in between step will be to move on all trekkers, even if they’re not inside :) Thanks for these videos, love them
I just watched Jake Lyons make it to the number 1 spot. Once your that high in the ranks, just getting the country will almost never be good enough. It’s wild
17:12
The very unique 6 wheeled BMW! 🔥
Watching zig guessing so quickly without the need to move and beating everyone, is a great reminder of how emormous the gap between a casual try-hard and a pro really is. Being a proud member of that sub-group, one random duels match against zig would be so much fun
Not really relevant to your content, but I've noticed you're very good at title case. There are very few channels as consistent at it as you are.
thanks my friend!
@@DoiInthanon1897 Read the book, "this Is How To Use title case In english," for some examples
@@andrewmccann9710 Thanks, but I just decided to search it up. I follow it in my writing but never knew what the process was called
id like to imagine that the geoguessr devs are just doing this specifically to troll zigzag lmao
18:30 with those snow poles you should be in the north. If you are south of maybe Gävle / Stockholm you don't get much snow and I don't think they will put up that many snow poles, except maybe on a culvert. This was surely the 5th time in the series where you got baited by Umeå, it is almost funny!
Interesting 🤔
I think there is a happy medium between moving a ton and not at all. If there is no information at the starting point in a round, I don't think anyone would mind a bit of moving. For example, if there is a sign with information just is just out of range of the starting location, moving a couple spaces over to see it feels fine to me. Just my thoughts.
WP ! So happy i could play you. Didn't have the clues on ireland but hopefully i will progress =)
gg
i'd love to see an interview with a developer
i always wanted to do that too
9:30, a good clue is also the amount of white cars around. This area tends to have a lot of them for some reason
zigzag is so entertaining
❤️
We use Danish kroner (DKK) in Denmark. All the Scandinavian countries uses kroner, but they are different currencies (in the same way as US dollars, Canadian dollars, and Australian dollars)
Round 1 Coastal Northwest France is surprisingly pretty common in duels.
Canada round didnt need any moving to tell between that and the US. If you look at the house windows in Canada they are almost all one piece or split vertically. In the US they are almost always split horizontally.
In one of these rounds you were actually just outside of the house that I grew up in lmao. I guess you’re bound to visit quite a lot of subscribers homes but still suprising to see your own
There is a cycling
event called Paris - Brest - Paris, kind of an ultra marathon for cyclists with all kind of human powered vehicles. First round reminded me of that 🤣, just a random thought.
That big nest is the nest of the white stork. They mostly nest in central and eastern Europe, from the Baltics, Belarus, Ukraine and Turkey in the east, to around Germany and Austria to the west, plus some parts of Spain. so not in the Americas, Scandinavia, or western Europe.
The last match was definitely decided the moment you recognized East Russia and I didn't. GG!
gg!
First round looked quite a bit like southern England to me, the architecture and as you said, palm vegetation. Makes a lot of sense it was far Brittany.
Yeah, switching to moving eventually sounds great. It will be a lot more practice at moving and I think Road to #1 is very very possible!
Damn I was just catching up bro, im at 1286 currently. You can easily hit that #1 spot
The only other game I play any sort of ranked mode in (Tekken) has options where you can set it to "prefer" people ranked 1, 2, or 3 ranks away, or any rank. Something like that for duels would be cool. Within 100, 200, or 300 difference, or any rank would be a similar equivalent. Though I gotta say, you would probably never lose to an 800ish player without the no moving handicap. I have to imagine even without that handicap you are going to match with "googlers". It's a little frustrating playing against someone that clearly doesn't know anything, but then 5ks some random tiny town in Canada because world map put them in front of a school with a google-able name.
The 10:00 guy, not suspicious, he's is Brazilian, have a Grêmio profile picture (brazilian football club)
makes sense
3 белых приоры в одном кадре, сразу узнал Махачкалу 😎😎😎
10:15 This guy is brazilian, his picture is a brazilian football team. makes sense the good guess in br
Allow moving bro! We all want to see you play without crutches and easily get number 1!!
that Vancouver round was so close to my house wtf
I still almost never see the antenna you mention lol
Great series
Legend ✨🎈❤👑❤🎈✨
Hey Zi8gzag, high quality video as always. I was just wondering, what time in South Australia do you usually record these videos?
10pm
@@Imeanhi_ Thanks
Love the videos! What time to you play local time? I'd love to run into you in-game sometime :)
10pm
Very nice video as always bro :) And I have one question in which city do you live in Australia?
adelaide
Yes play moving!! 👍🏻🙂
Great video Mr. ZigZag
The t in arret is not silent
Brectify just took number one recently pretty cool.
blessing us with a 40 min video 🤙🏽
Holy shitt!! If u switch to moving you going to be #1 like super quick!!!
IT IS ALWAYS JOHOR! And, yes, please start moving!
Yay! Another vid! btw, duels not *is* , duels *are*
in this context, the duels i'm refering to duels the mode, not some set of games, so it's singular, no?
im pretty sure its both correct in this context
@@zi8gzag good point prolly you're right
good video, zig!🌍
Bro checkout jake lyons he actually plays duels now gaining zero when winning from 800 rated players 😂
pretty easy latvia cam there at 19:50
indeed
Inching back up
17:20 hungarian high signs you missed that on your last duels episode aswell bigzag do you just not believe in this meta or why are you meta-shaming like this? lmao
just didn’t think of hungary m8
@@zi8gzag Im just kidding man great video as always
What time do you record this videos? I wanna play against you! :)
10pm aus
@@zi8gzag thanks, lets see if i can found you Mr. Goat

It’s strange to me that you only gain 1-3 points from 800 rated players while you lose like 27, but also you almost only get 800 rated opponents. So you need to win like a minimum of 10, likely more to make back one loss
It gets worse at higher ratings trust me
At 1350+, you gain 2 and lose 32
And your WLR must be at least 16 to maintain elo
It’s really discouraging tbh
@@Imeanhi_ That just seems like a pretty bad ranked system. I hope they update it. Maybe a NMPZ mode would be cool too
Hello Mr goat
Hello 😆! Which rank/elo do you consider as an intermediate player on geoguessr?
really depends, but my gut instinct is something like 950 rating
Switch over to move
Damn matchmaking is really something else, I guess your playing hours have something to do with it because I'm 950-1000 and I get better opponents on average.
i played 10:30pm adelaide time
@@zi8gzag I guess Europe is at work/school and America is mostly asleep at that time. Loving the series anyway, keep it up!
I understand your frustration with there not being enough good players for you to play with, but by definition there will be fewer and fewer people above you in the rankings as you progress. If you want to have CZcams content, you might as well play low ranked guys than no guys.
it’s true, still i’d be happy to wait a minute for a good match
As easy and boring as playing against 800 rated players might be, it's pretty much guaranteed points. You didn't lose a single round this game. Given that the top-rated duals players do moving, you probably don't actually want to play against them.
i do want to play them
@@zi8gzag For the content, and for fun, sure. But if you truly cared about nothing except points, then playing against 800-1000 rated players would be the optimal strategy
@@benjaminanderson1014 There is the possibility that an 850 rated opponent is a alt account owned by a experienced player, or just someone really good and climbing the ranks. So while it’s true that most low Master players are easy to win against for Zigzag, it’s not a guaranteed victory every time and he could lose a lot of points in a bad game. It’s all relative depending how you look at it.
Comment
slay
You high players dislike facing 850s, but us 850s also dislike facing you pros, like u get into champ division and instantly lose it because every single game I get after champ division is top 200s like 1200+, so it's made me stop playing :/
i got banned from ur discord server for trolling too hard rip :(
u were too funny apparently
