Check out the $50,000 final match at the 2007 USARPS Championship in Las Vegas, the biggest throwdown in hand sport history. Should you be on this stage?
The level of athleticism is beyond any sport on earth and other star systems. The sheer skill and level of intensity of these athletes training will drop a pro footballer in minutes.
ImBlueOnPiano I mean the majority of the world's railroads where all established over a century ago in the majority of the developed world so... Yeah. Excluding modern day bullets and subs, which no, I don't linger around construction sites or pay them all my attention :-)
***** yeah but he was also talking about the other things that you listed, and there are definitely millions of people that watch video game tournaments alone.
***** Glad you realised they are subjective. Surely that means you can understand why some people want to watch esports. Or do you still think that the network should cater to your specific needs? Or do you claim to speak for their entire audience?
this is something i think everyone has wondered if it exists I also love how the guys competing look exactly how you would expect an 'expert rock paper scissors' player to look
years of years of intense training for these players have lead to this one single moment! and it all comes down to a peace of paper! WHAT A GREAT GAME!
Tommy Andretti it is serious dude. my son is training right now for the local title which will take place next month. he's pretty talented and put in a lot of hard work, he has a great chance of winning. he's just 9, but he has beaten lots of 15 year old. this is his year!
If i were to face one of these guys I would just try as hard as possible to lose. If they are supposedly this skilled, they would be countering all the moves I would be doing if I were trying to win, so by trying to lose, i would obviously win.
But unless you were skilled at knowing the tactics on winning it then you would not know the best tactic for losing and to be able to lose you also need to have an idea of what the opponent would be going for (same as winning) so even if you were skilled enough to know how to lose there would be no point as it requires the same skill as trying to win and they could also pick up on your patterns.
@@sailorskj9002 too many hackers nowadays for anyone to even play. and yeah your right after they buffed paper scissors became useless and the game basically became rock, paper, paper but paper wins so basically paper paper paper nobody throws rock anymore man
Woow havent seen dualing like this since the 1978 Ontario finals. Such a good dual. This was a very close match. Both players very composed and professional. Jamie did deserve to win this. See that Rock top draw followed by scissors. Did NOT expect that, thought he would go for the straight run instead of forcing a bad hand. Guess thats why he is the 07 champ. Nice job
This is actually more in depth then you may realise, The point of Rock Paper Scissors is that you need to read your opponents mind, Its about looking at facial expressions, Predicting, Or calling out bluffing, This game is just like poker or even chess
Freddie Firth You think this is intense, you should watch the Tiddlywinks World Championships or even Pooh Sticks. Tiddlywinks was shown on Channel 5 years back. Sure that meant only a few people could actually watch it, but it was wild baby ..... wild!!
"These guys are tired, they've been throwing all day" LOL I know it must suck to have to commentate this but come on... Has he really done the unthinkable? A moment a sporting legend was made?
Bwah ha! Where's the mockumentary? Hard to believe this is for real! Thanks for posting. I knew there were competitions based on everything...but sheesh!!!
When they did that scissors tie I was like yoooo and then Jamie hit him with scissors again and I was like yoooooo and then switches to paper and I was like yoooooooooooo
I searched this up as joke .
Who didn't?
Lol
Me too
same
Same
I feel like rock should be nerfed.
+Tannay loavid By far the weakest throw in the game. It is used at the highest frequency, as mentioned in the video.
+Tannayloavid Totally OP. I hate it when noobs win using rock and not real skill.
rock is what you throw when u are nervous and muscle become tight.
It's really easy to counter though, just use paper and its ggez..
But that's like rock's only bad match-up.

I once played this for 5 hours straight and we only left with a draw. Well played mirror .... well played!!
and people fucking complain about ESPN 2 showing esports?
***** there's almost a million views on this video, I guess that's something
***** yeah but he was also talking about the other things that you listed, and there are definitely millions of people that watch video game tournaments alone.

***** esports is more entertaining than any of those garbage leagues that you mentioned. RPS is still lame though.

Gonna be honest, near the end I got kinda nervous over who would win.

Bruh that's some basic ass level 1 mindgames, Jamie Langridge is clearly already in another fucking dimension and shit.
Just the fact that there is a pro rock paper scissors league is getting on my nerves
The pinnacle of sports.A true shame these men don't compete in the Olympics.
The current meta of RPS has changed so much, I don't even like the game in it's current state.
Rock used to be so good until they buffed paper
@@sailorskj9002 too many hackers nowadays for anyone to even play. and yeah your right after they buffed paper scissors became useless and the game basically became rock, paper, paper but paper wins so basically paper paper paper nobody throws rock anymore man
What am i doing with my life?

These commentators could sell one way trips to mars lol. "the greatest show in sports" rofl... sports.
yet they look down upon e-sports...
Moises Delamora Still more exciting than watching fat dudes playing video games.
***** Completely agreed
***** hahaha you don't look at them. You look at the ingame feed. The ignorance is strong with this one
***** There's also skinny asian dudes, too. Don't exclude them!
+ccaian1 But not as exciting as watching the actual game itself
absolutely lost it at "thats whats they call workin on the railroad"

Mucus from his nose. It can be distracting to the other player.

At first I thought this was kinda dumb, but the more I watch this, the more I wish it was televised in England more. This is so awesome!

Gotta love the commentary - "Scissors tie Tremendous stuff" 2:54 hahaha
I was in such suspense throughout the vid lol
They make it look so exciting.
Really good commentary.
Damn good. This was definitely heard around the world, what a phenom!
The commentary is hilarious, they make me believe I'm watching an actual sport
I found myself getting into this for some reason...
Best commentary ever. These guys should be golf announcers
There We Go!!!
I knew my childhood games of rock, paper, scissor would pay off
Bwah ha! Where's the mockumentary? Hard to believe this is for real! Thanks for posting. I knew there were competitions based on everything...but sheesh!!!
Truly phenomenal.
It took me a while to realize this is not just a comedy sketch.
The commentary is top tier
This guy are so experts! You can see their amazing skills!
Who came here after reading 'Digital Minimalism' ?
Commentators are the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐
Cal Newport brought me here. Not sure I've quite mastered digital minimalism yet
RPS tournament should make a comeback. Its entertaining to watch than a golf imo
this is the best thing ive ever seen
When they did that scissors tie I was like yoooo and then Jamie hit him with scissors again and I was like yoooooo and then switches to paper and I was like yoooooooooooo
Its intimidating being in the presence of such great athletes.
"Im really surprised he didn't throw paper there, what would you have done?"
"I don't have a clue.." LMAO
Must've taken some intense training and dedication to get to this level
HE SAID THIS IS WHERE SPORTS LEGENDS ARE MADE LMAOOO
WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS
I feel that closing your eyes and choosing randomly is the best strategy.
This cannot be true! i just omg this is so fantastic
Those announcers are amazing
My faith in humanity has been restored.
that was intense dude.. AAAHH
This is amazing.
dude this stuff is INTENSE
wow. they make it sound so intense
holy shit I just found my favorite sport
This is the greatest thing ever.
Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!
When the judge said "one set a piece" sounded like Nicolas Cage
This seriously looks like something you'd see on one of the late night shows except for the camera quality. LOL!
That was intense.
"What a clutch throw!"
"Scissor Tie! Tremendous Stuff!"
TROLOLOLOL
That commentary is better than some stand up routines.
This is so well done, I'm not sure if it's a parody piece or not...?
Back then the players were in it for the love of the game, today's RPS competitors are all about money.
What a world we live in
I was drunk and thought "what if there were competitive rock-paper-scissors tournament.."
seems that this isn't just a drunk man rambling
Behold the future of melee. this is 20xx.
The most balance game competition ever.
How is this not in the Olympics? Arguably the most physically challenging sport out there right now, and it's not even in the Olympics?
LOOK AT THE CLEANSE, LOOK AT THE MOVES, FAKER WHAT WAS THAT
These guys are obviously pro. I’ve never seen this level of play outside of my elementary school playground.
This whole thing is beast. Wish we had refs like that in the nfl
