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

- Back on the road we go, I have the dream of hitting number one in the world on Geoguessr duels. This will not be easy, especially considering that I'm playing without moving, but I'm still optimistic that it's possible. Still, certain moments in this episode definitely tested my sanity (I'm looking at you Pakistan trekker). Enjoy!

Thanks for helping me procrastinate with my university work ZigZag!
most welcome:)
Not me watching this 2 hours before a physics exam ;)
+1
literally same
yea lol. preventing the torture of AP world history homework due in a few hours that I haven't started yet
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
how did you practice to get good bro? i’m getting into it and have some really bad guesses rn lol
@@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
gg!
@@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.
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!
Nice
Are you in zigcord
this one of my favorite series!! excited to see you get #1 eventually
I doubt that it will happen. It would take a lot of time to practice
12:35 as a German subscriber you got me with that "Scheisse.." 😂😂😂
Cracked me up too
The points lost vs gained at this level is brutal.
Great video as always
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)
19:00 I recognised that area instantly because I lived in Gympie, Queensland for around 10 years
Your uploads are timed literally perfectly with my lunch break each day here in snowy Minnesota.
20:10 yeah its very frequently used in residential areas which are 30km or even 15km zones
21:15 I actually strongly associate those sings with Bulgaria, with the two type of scripts 🤔
zigzag mistook those for bilingual signs. its actually the same two words but in different script (cyrillic & latin). maybe thats why he was deterred.
@@kromessbrate9885 ah yeah fair enough
Love this videos, just sad that i haven't face you yet in ranked 😁
very enjoyable series!
Beenreally enjoying these videos good job Oscar
Love this zi8gzag!
Love this series, road to number 1!
Love these rank #1 grind videos sm
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
20:20 oh my god i live in the city above that one lmao, never seen a geoguessr round that close to my house
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
good call
In the Virgin Islands red car is St Croix, white car with no antenna is also St Croix, white car with antenna is other
@ 32:12 those blue&Red street signs are Warsaw exclusive I believe.
my god that Wisconsin round was crazy
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.
Great vid mate try Baltic rullet map for Lithuania :)
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
32:12 im pretty sure that blue and red sign is Warsaw specific ;)
The "scheiße" at 12:38 killed me 😂
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.
18:00
I didn't know Madeira bollards were a thing
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!
Zigzag, is there a way for me to tell when there are tournaments. I always see your videos on them but i want to watch them live, is there a schedule or something
czech has thin white border on their signs too mate. slovakia the black basically extends to the end
that beijing trekker round actually had the chinese characters for Beijing on that hotel building
These come out when I’m eating dinner its always good eating content
30:17 he knew about your mission and gave you the points :p
2:40 the southern island has a slightly different google car model i think, it doesn't have those black plastic things on the roof and the hood
went to that uni for interview a month ago.. what are the odds bruh
“Every time we get Australia it’s a capital city i can easily recognize” wish that was me I got some random town named humpty doo in the middle of NT yesterday
32:25 you can also see buildings like this in Cracow and Gdańsk but most of the time this should just be in Warsaw
You should give yourself permission to move to a street if it's trekker. Always fun to watch this series!
I can’t be the only one wishing he’d allow himself to move in general. I feel like at the highest level you’re not going to win consistently enough to push for #1 without doing it.
The best series on youtube!
Love the series. 4 steps forwards, 23 steps back. 🤭
keep it up, love you zi8gzag. Hi from zaragoza
thanks so much:)
Any tips for ur city?
knew i was gonna be in yt when i played you. gg! (that br guess was embarrassing)
I'm from Manaus (Brazil)! That would be great to see in one of my duels 😆
billingual signs are super common in Bulgaria
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?
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
@@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)?
@@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
various landmarks are not as important & known for the average person especially outside europe. pretty common sense
You could actually see Cristo Rei as well. And with that it can only be Lisbon or Rio de Janeiro...
Do you stream when you grind for points in between episodes? (you should, or post vods, I could watch this shit forever)
Let's go!
12:37 bro the scheisse lol
literally so impressive lol
My favourite series , watching every episode with so much joy and pleasure keep up the good work. Greetings from bulgaria
When I feel like I am in Western/South Asia and I don't know where exactly, I always pick Pakistan. Works all the time, You should try it 😅
Funchal is a city on the island madeira😄
With normal Map you would probably get way more value…
But continue the streak you got this 👍
Yes, you can rise!
Looks like the Eswatini grass was freshly mown 😂
Isn't the yellow sign @16:26 always Johor?
In the 14:04 you could read in the government sign AM thats AMAZONIA state abbreviation
noooo i could only think of amapa at the time
The turkey training is paying off
I think this may be your best content......well done.
I can read I little bit of Chinese, and the Beijing trekker coverage was painful to watch because one of the signs you zoomed in to look at said “Beijing Inn.” Other than that great vid :)
This episode was brutal 😭
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..
Mate, i could watch you play the duels for hours.
luckily for you, martin, there are probably hours to come xD
idk if its me or an actual bug but sometimes when i press space for guess my guess just will not count even tho im trying to guess
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.
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! 😂😂
Liked the video. Then watched it with my favourite snack. 🤓
ZigZag using meta to guess in every round, then gets a trekker which is one of the biggest meta and loses his mind.
yes, yes you can
in the downtown manila round, i noticed english and spanish. bear in mind that this country was occupied by both spain and usa.
12:26 Pakistan.. the pants with the skirt in front
definitely makes sense in hindsight, just didnt come to mind
@@zi8gzag 😀and that map have a lot of Lahore trekkers...
indeed it does….
Streets like that are usually 30 km in The Netherlands
yeah that’s it!
lmao what? Verf, you have a geoguessr channel?
@@AlwayzJarvin Yeah recently made it
@@VerfGeoguessr Oooo okay, nice nice
FWIW, World Map Malaysia is usually Johor, not KL
hopefully
the trekkers are so annoying, I lost to a Madagascar trekker and lost 20 ranks when it was in the sea
SM Store or SM Malls as keywords would automatically mean Philippines. And the non-luxurious car brands and English written all over the place
30km/h road
as a bulgarian, most signs are actually bilingual
What is smurfing? Other than that, keep it up Zi8!
The Beijing round said Beijing on signs lol
Having mainland China in the game would make things so unbalanced towards players who can read Chinese (or Japanese) lol
Yeah, like every second company in China has the city in its name...
Dont be to hard on yourself I get Colo/Phili & Aus/ZA mixed up all the time. lol
Can someone explain to me what a 'trekker' is? Is it like a person thats walking with a camera on their backs?
Yea it is
@@stefcika9232 ah ok, gotcha.
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 😅
day 1 of hunger strike until they change the map 😭😹
@@zi8gzag LOL
Can I maybe recommend that you don't grind offline? Its just more videos for us to enjoy. Heck I will watch your recovery videos to keep back! I love this content!
I reckon I’ll do a little bit on stream, but maybe not:)
I think he should prove he can get to #1 using normal rules and THEN try this challenge.
Agree with this. Hope he legit tries to go for number 1
what is smurfy
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.
you said your uncle is malaysian, which would mean your dad is too right? Are you actually half asian? i never noticed honestly
I feel like you grinding to gain your elo back off camera would ruin the purpose of the series. Losing is part of the journey.
you should start moving, you’ll progress through the ranks faster and get better at moving which is something you don’t usually do
Man why do you do no moving.. seems as if youre hindering yourself heaps
Wow I'm early
you need to slowdown. there was a turkısh flag on the apartment. u guessing very fast sometimes
