Adding music was a big blunder.
It was in this position on move 13, music resigned the game.
@@yelwinaung1608 when was the trap?
that is Qc's stream he is listening to that wile playing...rofl
@@ryang1718 don't think so. When they watched hafu, the same music is playing
@@mysoberlife. It's a mix. They needed music they had the rights to play so they ran that music loud to play overtop of xQc's music. Not sure why they play it over Hafu's too since she wasn't playing music (or maybe she was and it was just too drowned out)
Gotta say the added music on listen ins is really distracting. Especially if the streamer AND the casters are talking. I know sometimes the streamers play music but if they don’t piping in some hard rock isn’t the solution.
They might have added it to cover up some of the streamers playing copyrighted music but nonetheless it doesnt sound great
i think they are trying to drown out the music they already have
I think it needs to be a tad more quiet.
Actually you can hear xqc playing blinding lights if you listen closely so its probably for copyright reasons
@@doruka890 and Rise Against at 32:20...
24:10 xQc offers epic draw offer. Hafu is just such a kind person, she agrees to draw next one and actually does offer draw in a completely winning position.
If he would've just played exactly like the computer 30 moves in a row - Andrea 26:24
when she had two queens and he offered a draw with only his king HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
impeccable timing
timestamps please, do some justice
@@vila33333 24:11
I mean it was worth a shot
straight trolling his opponent lol
That music is awful, we can barely hear the comments sadly :(
bro for a whole fuckin hour loop
It was some kind of weird Darude - Sandstorm
its to avoid dmca i think rofl but its so ass i agree
At first I thought it was just xqc and his choochy streamer tunes. Nope. It’s battle chess 3045 nu metal music.
Production, you’ve outdone yourself here.
yeah, and on top of that, the music is awful.
xqc is the only chess player who thinks for 20 seconds before playing e5
Vishy Anand too
30
Dubov does that too....
32:25 LOL at xqc just trash talking random people while hafu is focused af ahahahahahah
that's so funny. I appreciate all the time stamps in chat. I don't actually have time to watch atm
"lets take a quick listen to hafu"
hafu: proceeds to not talk for the next minute
5:21 Daniel rubbing salt in the wound lol
The music makes it almost unwatchable.
The music literally made it watchable. Why? Because without the music this vid will get struck down cuz xqc's blinding light playing in the background
@@icy8596 oh :(( this should be pinned or smt, that definitely makes sense man, thanks
still, that music being overlayed is such a headache
@@icy8596 5Head
@@weskertot7541 LMAO
Is there a trap that xQc doesn't fall for?
No
@@roydondsa He didn't fall for this one, he just missed the winning move.
@@jakebourassa xQc simp
@@jakebourassa yeah he also didn’t fall for the 6 move trap too.
@@Tom-H1 you disappoint me
19:13 when you touch wet food in the sink
That draw offer LMAO
24:07
Hafu: Plays one move
XQC: Has mental breakdown, forgets what chess even is
music is too loud
The music is loud on player streams to cover up copyrighted music streamers play. It's for CZcams.
It's good shit tho
@@evaluator8906 the same 2 bars repeated 50 times isn't exactly peak music
Doesn't change the fact that it's satisfying for me... Music doesn't need to be complex all the time
@@evaluator8906 true
it will be fun to watch hikaru's reaction on this game
why
@@jackylaw3893 hes the coach for xqc
@@jackylaw3893 and he has really funny reactions in general.
xQc plays like Bobby Fischer if he did crack instead of chess
I mean, considering the things Fischer said after he went rogue he probs did some crack
Confession: I only watch Pogchamps if The Prophet is one of the commentators. His analysis to the games are so newbie-friendly.
Alex and Levy are also quite good at explaining things
@@johnbishop9621 Alex is good, Levy is just plain annoying
Levy is the worst commentator on the show.
He's also the nicest among them lol
I love how you guys know who Im talking about when I said 'The Prophet'
The music on hafu’s channel was barely hearable I think the anti copyright strike music was not needed there.
I think it was because no matter how quiet it is if it's barely hearable you'll get striked for it
I understand they had to use music to cover the copyrighted songs, but could they not have chosen something better than a 30 second rock loop? This is borderline unwatchable.
How can you consider that electronic synthesizer loop “rock”. There is not a single guitar on there.
It has to be royalty free music they layer, so no, they probably couldn't do better than a 30 second rock loop.
@@Ervalo It's synthesized guitars, played in a rock style. What else would that instrument be, if not a synthesized rock?
@@jeffwells641 There are hundreds of thousands of royalty free songs out there for FREE. This is sheer lazyness.
Isn't that just what XQC plays?
She's better than xQc at Among Us too. Nice to see their prior background history here.
🧢
@@arrore but you haven't watched hafu's game before tho
@@arrore yea, tbh xQc, Toast, and Train fall into the loud 5head players that can sometimes be painful to watch when they wrongly tunnel into one player. When Hafu susses out someone, she's already confident about it. I don't regard xQc as better than Hafu as crewmate simply because half of the time his accusations are just blind shots, but he does get imposters voted off faster than Hafu ever will.
For imposter play, I'd still go with Hafu. She much sneakier and has solid alibis, while xQc relies on being the aggressor to talk his way out.
Sidenote, I find Hafu a better all-rounded textbook player than Toast, while Toast is much more fun to watch because of his unconventional plays. Toast barely gets sussed out as an imposter simply because he avoids being questioned, but his alibis are weak.
Edit: Charlie didn't include Hafu in his tier list, my bad.
how is xqc a 5head though
@@Ryan-sn3uo loud as in voice? Because toast ain't load lmao
I feel like every time I watch xQc play chess I genocide my braincells.
nooo, focus on hafu and gain braincells
He's not a bad player. It's just kinda hard to follow his thought process...
damn hafu is one of the smartest gamers in my opinion
17:34 She see Re1? She is definitely underrated.
If 17. Re1 then 17... Qxe1#, right?
@@charlesfinley867 queen is pinned...
@@charlesfinley867 that's not the hardest thing to see, even for a beginner
@@joedorben3504 yep... it's in the level that she is... I am 1400 and I saw it immediatly
@@adriel8140 I mean Bf4 is completely winning and a much better move, so it's not like you should be looking for Re1 anyways, but yeah, it's not all that tough to 'see'
im glad everyone hates the music just as much as me haha
If you guys want to add music add some low chill one. You can't be playing chess and cover it with this crazy music. It's not like you're playing csgo LoL or valorant
What's the timestaMp of the trap
Hafu is a gaming Goddess. Her Hearthstone career is legendary.
Something has to be done about the music. It's too loud, and even if you lower the volume, the music from the players stream will overlap and the audio will be a garbled mess. You could ask the players to be in a call so you can hear their voice only, but that might cause a delay between the audio and their stream, or ask them to not play their music during the set?
what the hell is this music man, makes this almost unwatchable
They gotta block Copyright music lol
@@stanleyguo7164 Just ask the streamers to set up a separate audio stream thats voice-only.
Easy to do and allows to make copyright-friendly vods later
Jim Panse well they clearly didn’t think ahead
Pretty sure the music was overlayed to prevent potential DMCA on music for the streamers.
...no shit, its just waay too loud
The way he takes so much time just to deal the basic king's opening is giving me anxiety
Who Daniel coaching ? cause i want to know who's gonna win the tournament
The throbber isnt here
He's been coaching Hafu
ChesscomCompany: Guys, let's make this tournament, it will be great for the marketing, with all this adult and professional streamers, it will be great
MoistCr1tikal: MY C*CK IS THROBBING
@@snivyfrpresident509 Do we actually know why he isn't playing? He's still training with the prophet after all
@@the_bottomfragger people in the comments said he aint.🤷
that moment when xqc literally cant look two moves ahead
I cant believe that xqc still doesnt know basic opening principles
yeah, thing is , he is rushing it too much, learning chess that is
@@shreyassali2291 He needs to calm down more. His anxious response to Hikaru being annoyed by a comment of his, as well as his overthinking of every move, shows thay he is not having a clear head. Maybe he should take a walk before the next match. It's scientifically proven to help
@@johnbishop9621 can u send me the link to when Hilary made the annoyed commentv
Tbh i like xQc when he's just playing solo game like this.
Same
19:06 basically all of the games i have ever played
LMAO true story
He might be toxic in among us but that was damn funny xD
Nardo is so brilliant “both of you playing enterprising and interesting chess” 😂
man i'm lucky that i think the one music loop they used the whole time sounds amazing. i sure would be annoyed if it wasn't just the right amount of intense and serious
YEAhh is there a link for the music tuff
I dont even like chess, but i love pogchamps, the players and the chess personalities.
19:00 thats why I love PVC
The music is godawful on this one.
These people pick up and put down pieces like there's no such thing as a mis-click.
Omg the background music is sooo bad and loud !!!
5:19 xQc having war flashbacks
Would be more interesting if the commentators gave more analysis about strategies the players should be looking for and whatnot. Also no point in saying a bad move was ‘solid’. The GM was the only one really giving analysis beyond 1 move suggestions.
Congrats to Hafu!
Agreed
I can't watch another video with the same 7~ second music loop, it's driving me to the brink of insanity.
Me: *sees fried liver*
Also me: *Oh no*
My reaction was: Please spare this man
T-R-A-X-LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
er
Can the music that comes on when we go to the players be removed? It's very annoying
It's to block their music, the streamer's. I do agree that it's kinda annoying.
The fact that he's listening to wings by birdy while playing chess cracks me up idk why
To people that know chess: at around 5:30, Hafu moves queen to F3... would moving it to H5 be a good move? (I'm just curious because I don't know theory but it seems good to me haha) It allows the knight to capture on F7 much more comfortably while pinning the Queen and Rook and there's a lot of pressure on the king then from the Queen
Technically there the right move is knight takes f7 with a sacrifice. The idea is that after king takes f7 you van lure the king into the middle of the board with your queen. As for queen h5, it doesn't really work after g6
@@albertdiedericks6227 Makes perfect sense! Thank you :)
Nxf7, Kxf7, Qf3+, Ke1, Bxd5 and white is up a pawn and black lost the ability to castle. I think Nxf7 is the Best move in that position from 4:50.
I can't watch this on speakers, I either can't hear the commentary or my neighbours will surely come by to complain.
I mean, there are ways to filter music, and subsequently adding your own music with lower volume than this...
The problem is the music coming in through the streams. You can't filter out the music and keep the player commentary because they are coming in on the same channel. You'd need some serious AI wizardry to do that, and it would probably still sound like dogshit.
Layering music over top to muddy the audio and hoping you can still make out what the streamer says is about as good as it gets if you want to avoid a copyright strike. Worse, they have to err on the side of over-doing it with the layered music, because if the algorithm picks up even one little section it's game over for the whole video.
love the loud rock music attempting and failing to cover the chart topping hit American Boy by Estelle and Kanye West
Should have played bing after bong on e4.
The audio man Lmao
Everyone: MUSIC BAD, DISTRACTING MUSIC
Me: Playing spotify while watching the video so there are 3 songs playing. This is fine.
*royalty free rock music intensifies*
Every single chess player: XQC FCKING DO D5 GOTDAMIT
do you really have to blast awful music every time they switch to a players point of view. I get theres copyright and all but just mute the music
40:03 "With the introduction of whites new piece on A3 blacks defenses completely crumble and the game is completely lost"
Xqc doesnt learn any opening so he has troubles in the opening .but when he gets to middle game, he has better chances.
But when he gets to the endgame, he has bad chances again lol
@@mizuhonova yep 😅 he did well yesterday😁😆
Please just add a "For DMCA purposes: will you be playing music during the live broadcasted matches?" on the signup paperwork.
So Hafu could have said "No." and the guitars that make her unintelligible could've just buzzed off.
xQc: Pepega :mega: i LoSt CuZ i DiDnT tRy
im just impressed at the guy with a 2000 puzzle rating but 1000 blitz
Uh i guess he flags
I hang around 2000-2100 for puzzles on lichess but I'm only about 1100 in rapid and blitz... is this uncommon? I hope this isn't bad...
@@fusion325 Tactics are probably the best aspect of your game by far
xQc calculates like his opponents won't move.
xQc could've played that Eric Rosen trap against the Italian!
which one? Eric Rosen knows a lot of random traps
@@joedorben3504 the recent one against the Italian where taking the pawn is losing after the knight jumps in
it should be illegal to have any chat open
xqc is funny as hell but man is it a struggle to watch him play chess and I'm not even that great myself
then don't watch it
@@anthonyrockets2945 xQc's character is the underdog sort that makes you cheer for. It's kinda the same for me with every other streamer on PogChamp
Sadge
He’s a tactical warlord that only loses to cheese Sadge
Anthony Rockets
4Head
Is this a rematch cuz xQc overslept? I'm confused can someone explain pls
Yes
Not a rematch, just a postponed match.
Thanks for that awful music on game 2 guys. I put up with it for several minutes and then watched with auto captions. Fantastic work.
Ehhh the entire audio would have been stripped if they didn’t slap that on. The players had copyrighted music.
@@stanleyguo7164 They could have played something much softer for Hafu's. You could barely hear her music on stream.
There is no such thing as a XQC taking things out of the books and ruining your preparation. On the contrary, most of these relative newbies don't know how to play a midgame and won't be helped that much by the opening. However, if they have done a lot of opening preparation, you know when the opponents make a weird and bad move, like XQC against Leslie. They had been over that exact move and if Leslie had remembered it she would have instantly gained an advantage.
If you learn your openings you can punish mistakes and even if you go into an unfamiliar midgame, you will do so with advantage.
Andrea is just there to drool on xqc
Anybody else hate the music? Oh everyone? Good, just checking.
yup that loud music over listen in completely defeats the purpose and its definitely a blunder.
these casters wanted xqc to win hahaha
True, they definitely seem biased towards xQc, even though they had personally coached Hafu. Maybe it's cause he's the obvious underdog in terms of skill, or maybe they're just deathly scared of the horde of mindless 11 year olds that follow xQc that'll make their lives miserable if they criticize him.
Anyone know why Cr1tikal isn't playing in this tournament?
They wanted mostly new people I guess. I know he didn't even get an invite. Maybe they'll have another one later with the best players from the first two.
@@genaropuido9175 He also won the consolation bracket.
@@genaropuido9175 I suppose that makes sense, hope to see him soon since he is still taking lessons from Daniel.
Probably didn’t want this tournament to be throbbing
Who else was screaming D5? 3:19
32:28
It’s me
I’m *_famous_*
How to handle fame?
imagine if xqc played the traxler
Why the music? It's so loud we can't hear Hafu
at 35:15 if hafu is so worried about that pawnb4, would pawn a5 be a bad move?
Is xQc reading chat while playing? What were those interactions??
you mean 32:20?
Like he said, those were last game’s logs
I said that like just after game 1 finished
XQC: bing bang boom juicer
I totally know what happened.
Is it a surprise he got trapped again after his famous match with Cr1tikal?
Is the music to cover up the music played but the streamers to prevent copyright strikes?
unnoticed xQc blunder: he keeps addressing her as "he" LMFAO
Name of the song at 1:30? Thank you
@@hoola_amigos It´s not Darude - Sandstorm
Was watching this thankfully for me I can hear music from my choice while watching this loud enough to hear the commentators.
But other than that, I was happy to notice that xQcOW seems to have taken classes with botez sisters channel :D (I heard him say bang bang bang!) while thinking about exchanges haha!
She has 400 elo more than her opponent...
They have streamers with different elos and with the way tournaments work you can't always face an opponent with equal elo
yea its not even close
Her elo is impressive after such a short time of playing
But he started playing chess before her though. Not her fault she was better than him.
Bruh I'm I the only one who can hear them.... Like the musical there but it's not louder than them
The only video where I can understand xqc speaking
At 34:36 I found what I think to be a pretty good line. Ng5,xg5 bxg7,rg8 qxh7 (this sacks a knight to gain 2 pawns and a rook
The music is really annoying
the anticopyright music makes it so annoying to watch :(
How do people get coaching from you guys?
The music is super annoying. People who click on chess links know what they are getting, you don't have to 'jazz it up'. It's like being on hold for an hour.
Agreed but it’s to drown out the copyrighted music that xqc was playing
I'm won over. I'm now a big fan of both of these amateur players. Exciting game!
"I got next map" gg go next
Botez is simping hard on xQc
