- Playing Competitive Geoguessr until I'm ranked 5,000th in the world
Back in November you witnessed the crazy journey that was a rusty GeoWizard attempting to pierce the top 10,000 worldwide geoguessr players. Many of you will be pleased to know that this show is back with a second series.
The stakes will be higher, the standard will be higher, and the games are going to be tougher and more intense. Is GeoWizard top 5,000 material in 2023? This video will have you saying both yes and no to that question, several times.
How not to travel America fans: There is no set release date for Episode 5, but I am aiming for Sunday the 22nd 8pm GMT
The jacket is already iconic
LETS GOOO NATS
Facts
The jacket is already iconic
GeoWizard Jacket >>> MJ Thriller Jacket
"come on, the nationals"
People who think less of him because of his rank clearly dont know that GeoWizard is probably the actual reason why they even play this game in it's modern form.
GeoWizard is the OG of this game and his old videos are the biggest reason this game became a thing again after a decade.
Good point!
What amaze me is how good he is without all the meta knowledge... The New Dehli guess is pretty common now and he still manage to win game like a boss. Much respect to GeoWizard
Yep, all the present pros talk extremely highly of Tom
it's like when people say "x athlete today would destroy every athlete from 50 years ago"
sure, but they're the pioneers of the game and the standard is always going to improve because of their work
He's still one of the best around for having a knack of where he is. Sure, there are entire Discords full of people who study what the wheels on the Google car look like in Botswana or the types of bollards in Peru but that style of play is boring beyond words. Impressive, but it makes the game so boring to play or watch if you play it like that.
“‘Gabe-itch-poossy’. Maybe I shouldn’t have read that out loud” had me dying
and then literally half a second later he says "we gotta beat the poosi master" lmfao
@@kiiturii meister he said
Yeah if you say it fast you figure it out 😂😮
23:03
hahahah i'm losing it
Can't believe he early donged a top quality player. Truly a legend.
Massive early dong!
time Stamp?
The dong came earlier than expected but it came nonetheless
We need a 'dong' counter like that 'Get In' guy.
@@lopton1 at around 4:00
Hey Tom, don't know if you'll see this, but I would say you shouldn't worry too much about being among the best of the best at Geoguessr these days, as most people (myself included) come to your videos for the entertainment value, and you've definitely still got that in spades. It's far more fun to watch you stumble about commenting on random things than it is to watch someone recognise a Google car in half a second
I'm enjoying the mix of adventure content and the geoguessr stuff. Both are fun in their own ways, if it was all one or the other it wouldn't be Geowizard.
right? i find it nearly a bit sad to see him not having as much fun as when he is playing on him own and finding out the exact location
I completely agree! He has a way of being naturally entertaining in a "non-predictable" way? Hard to put into words. 😅
Tom guest-casting and/or co-hosting one of the Rainbolt tournament would be incredibly entertaining.
There's probably some reason as to why he hasn't done it yet, but I just know I am not the only who'd love to see that!
THIS
@@SimonOerslund he’s probably just too busy, those tournaments go for 4-5 hours frequently
26:24 On the healing round if you have such a lead then you are usually better just insta guessing. You could only heal for 140 but the opponent could heal for more, and you heal regardless of who were closer etc. So by trying to work it out you give your opponent more time to get a higher heal.
It's funny because that happened to him in an earlier round, and he even noted himself that the other person guessed quickly since they didn't need the heal. Inner detective is too strong.
Yea who fucking cares, makes the game so tragic and boring if you just sweat like a sad moron by using stupid strats like that instead of just playing the game.
@@korg47237 Yep, anything above 5000 and I just click anywhere as quickly as possible. The healing is not worth much anymore so there's no point wasting time.
I don't think it's strange that Tom doesn't make that strategic decision, what I think is weird is that his opponent didn't take their time!
Other Geoguessr youtubers: "That pole and that bollard and such and such road lines, etc."
Tom: "Why, that IS mount Fuji!"
“If you are in Australia and a stop sign has a black backside youre either in Brisbane or around Perth, so that’s a very useful tip”
See Toms way of playing is 100x more entertaining and fun. Playing the meta and poles and such is so boring. Playing the vegetation, how it looks and feels, compass, now thats interesting and amazing.
@@Starphixx Yeah also when playing myself. I try to remember the meta stuff sometimes, but I just can't be bothered, it's a lot more fun to try to figure out environmental clues
@@sanderappel4499 exactly!
@@Starphixx to each of their own i guess. i find meta and everything pretty fun. learning vegetation is very fun too me as well. i just like getting good at the game
Tom checking if he's actually recording is my favourite part of the channel
Every time he does that. I am like oh no is he recording?
Sadly, we'll never see his reaction when he isn't recording.
I really love this channel, because of not using meta in Geoguessr. For me there is no fun in pro-like fast guesses based on the Google car or the line in the sky. I like how Tom tries to find people, number plates, signs, inscriptions, tries to feel vibe of the place. And it is amazing that without meta you are in top-5000
Thanks for sticking with the Geoguessr to this day after all of the adventures blowing up. Love all of the content, some of the most passionately presented work, and it shows, but I've been here since the Geoguessr days and wanted to say cheers.
your legacy as a whole in this game is unreal. I can’t think of any other example of a game that was carried by a single creator to this extent.
Wirtual and trackmania 2020
@@robink561 well, I can think of one (1) creator-game relationship as strong now
very similar to illumina and minecraft speedrunning in my mind.
Not the game creator relationship but Milad Mirg and Subway he literally made Subway millions
Very different genre but Daigo Umehara in fighting games
Tom you are entertaining to watch because of how you figure out the location, using actual clues like foliage and language on signs, not just recognizing a recording quirk that means it has to be this particular underfunded google streetview team. Plus you are just a charming and funny guy.
Bro this dude dips, then comes back and he's gold division, dips again, travels America on a stick, comes back and is master. You love to see it: the wizard is back
All-time champ on vibe guessing
Probably knows less about meta than every single other Master level player
From now on I'm referring to morning wood as "early dong"
“I’m gonna piss myself”
“No seriously I need to piss”
What a dapper American man you've become.
GO NATS!!
Come on The Nationals!
@@AA-wq5sm Can't wait for the opening day kick-off in a few months!
@@silentgreybox I think he meant cum on the nationals
Its really amazing just how good you still are without using all the new meta. Thanks for the geoguessr video Tom!
meta? what is geoguessr meta?
@@shadowlicked google car, poles, bollards, frequency of different cities, rifts in the sky and all that stuff
@@eddiester neat. after I commented I saw someone else mention insta guessing on healing rounds to deny your opponent if you're ahead, too. I kinda prefer the wizardry of guessing without using proxy indicators but that sounds pretty interesting still.
@@shadowlicked the insta guess isnt really meta tho, its just a good strat
@@eddiester I think you'll find if you actually go to these places they actually have those telephone poles. That's not meta.
Tom the OG, I really cant watch any other geoguesser channels, hes set the bar too high. Been watching for years now. Happy for him the channel has grown so much and a bunch of new content, but these geoguessr vids keep me coming back. Love the adventures but these videos are my comfort food.
22:10 😅🤣 "Wow, come on the nationals"
Love your content Tom, been watching for years!
The moment you changed your guess from Czechia to Slovakia despite 'Ceska' being in front of you in HUGE writing had me hiding behind my hands 😂😂
Totally :D I saw him having a cursor on Prešov in Slovakia and I was shouting DONT click there! But he did, unfortunately :D
When you have no idea what Ceska means it isn’t obvious
@@BurgoYT cmon now, the resemblance with Czech Republic is too obvious here. He just panicked, otherwise he would've certainly seen that
For real it wanted me to cry my eyes out lmaooo, that massive bold lettering and I was like "He sees it literally says Ceska, right?", then he put his mark in Czechia and I was relaxed - AND THEN HE CHANGED IT TO SLOVAKIA LAST MINUTE WHYYY 😂😂😂
@@BurgoYT He's a Geoguesser by profession, he can identify Ghana from the outline of a numberplate... I think we can just write this one off as nerves :)
The pain of watching you change to Slovakia seconds after missing the word Češka on the corner building!
Great to have you back on this awesome challenge, although still enjoying the adventuring tremendously.
Tom is the reason I play GeoGuessr at all. Way more entertaining than watching top ranked players using stuff like car meta. Never change Tom.
His last guess would have been the most insane if he wouldn’t have changed it
It's more interesting hearing you talk about the foliage, buildings and people, than having the meta people recognise a type of car or an artifact. Sure it's not good for being "the best" whatever that means to each person, but, it sure is more interesting to me to watch.
I love that Tom is able to win using his wordly experiences and years of knowledge instead of just memorizing Google cars and camera meta. Truly a pro
"I'm already hearing the dong. I don't know why it hasn't come yet..." - Tom, 2023
Wearing the Nationals jacket oh my god it's perfect hahaha
Loving the adventure content. But also amazing to see you still have a passion for Geoguessr and you still wanting to get better at it, excited for more.
I lost it when he just, straight-faced: "Come on the Nationals"
This is just one of my favorite channels I’ve been watching for years now, at this point it just comforts me
Kiruna, the town you got at 15:10, is quite well known for the fact that the Kiruna iron mine is the largest iron mine in the world, and they have to keep moving the towns buildings because the mine keeps expanding towards the town
Why don’t we take Kiruna AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE
Kiruna, Narvik, Leula ... I was shouting "northern Sweden". It helps if you've done some cycle touring up in those parts.
didnt they just find the biggest rare earth reserves in europe there?
@@ichheissedamian LKAB has identified more than one million tonnes of rare earth oxides in the Kiruna area, located in the far north of the country, the company said in a statement on Thursday [as in, they day this video was published]
@@ichheissedamian Sweden just won. Who knew, in this power vacuum the world is going through right now, that Sweden would be the winner, and would arise from the ashes? *applause*
For future reference, 'Isola delle' isn't a specific place, it just means 'Island of the....' 😆Nice video!
Nothing makes me happier than Toms saying 'Oh my goodness me'
for me it is "GET IN!"
I've missed the GeoGuessr stuff! Good to see this!
26:24 Tom important tip! When you have basically full health, and your opponent does not, just click somewhere right away. You dont lose anything and you are giving you opponent less time to heal!
I remember he figured that out in an episode. But apparently his memory has been wiped clean of that
@@IanWaititu He literally said it this episode, in the previous game.
I guess both me and Tom have a bad memory on this 😥
the strategy one of your opponents used against you is a pretty good one, you should be doing it as well, tom: trying to guess on the healing round very rapidly when you're winning, to make sure they don't get many points
Especially because he was almost full hp. All he has to do is deny Tom from getting much hp himself.
@@MrTVx99 that's the thing, tom should do it as well, he let one og his opp heal for 1k
boring
Missed this. Rainbolt mentioned bringing you to a tourney and that would be huge!
Agree! Would SO LOVE to see that happen!
i'd absolutely love that
"he's gonna dong me any second I just know it" - never change, Tom.
"Do you have to go everywhere I go?! You nob!" haha this was so much fun to watch man you need to grind more of these ranked matches out, seeing you feeling all these emotions is fun 😅
Love the jacket, "come on the nationals" iconic
Absolutely wicked channel, and big respect for sticking to some of the content that got you where you are. Looking forward to more success for you mate, thanks for the video!
As a Korean living in Seoul, I enjoyed the korean round! I knew it was Korea from the iconic apartment buildings.
Koreans would look at 분당 instead of 수내. It is one of the best known sub-sub-sub-divisions of Korea, even better known than its super-division Seongnam. Anyways, it is not easy to find either of them for foreigners because 분당 is sub-sub-division in Gyeonggi, 수내 and 정자 is subdivision in 분당.
It is very logical to guess near Seoul because 50% of Koreans live in Seoul metropolitan area.
"Maybe I shouldn't have read that one out" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I used to watch your nmpz and challenge videos years ago. you got me into georgraphy. it was great to revisit your page and see that i still enjoy your content very much. thank you for expanding my mind to see the utter beauty in this world.
As a Swede hearing you pronounce the towns like lullea and kiroona is just hilarious. Greetings from Sweden
luleiah is my favorite
Out of interest how do you pronounce them? Always find Swedish a mad language to speak!
@@Baronovic Pronounce it straight forward as written.
@@theotherone5214 that doesn’t help
The "å" is silent in the northen dialects meaning "Luleå" is pronounced "Lule", the same goes for most other northern towns ending with "å". The rest of Sweden pronounces it as it is spelled. Luleå is pronounced Luuleoh, and Kiruna is something like Kiiruhnah.
I appreciate that the editing on the first game was a bit more restrained and natural than the last duels video! This video had a good flow
The Jacket! Best channel on CZcams - love every video, adventures and these 🤘
New series is my favorite thing, im more excited waiting for the next episode than any other TV show ❤ jacket is a great touch
So freaking glad to see another GeoGuessr. Just made my week.
Love this page! Enjoy your amazing travels and geoguessr videos you go for! Way above my level but you're one of the CZcams Geoguessr players that actually gave me the courage to do my own channel - geonoobrob!
Keep the content coming and stay safe on your adventures!!
“Come on, The Nationals!” after the piss 😂
Watched you a lot over the years and this game is the best content I’d say!
THE JACKET!!! I hope we'll see it many more times in the future!
really enjoyed this one Tom. Cant wait to see more
I remember stumbling across this channel when it was on less than 10k subscribers. Haven't watched since and now I get this video recommended and the channel has more than a mil. Congratulations geowizard👏
freaking love your intuition. its why youre so much more enjoyable to watch than the metagamers, respect to them and all though. thanks for putting out this entertaining video!
The fact that he zoomed in on 'Česká' (a name that reminds of Czech Republic) at 30:41 and still switched to Slovakia shows that it was some real panic in that last round that caused his loss
Still wearing the Nationals jacket! What a game that was haha
“5785!!! I’m gonna piss myself… no seriously, I need to piss”
fun to watch you playing this game conjuring solid guesses out of thin air. well done, mate!
The fast guess on the healing round is mostly to deny your opponent the heal, if you're in the lead. Less time to look for the correct spot.
Tom: "I need to stop talking now"
1 micro second later
Tom starts talking again😂
no matter how good the top 1% of the masters will be, you will always be the most iconic and legendary GeoGuessr of all time
It's always great to watch your videos, take care :)
These are very fun to watch, I like the quick edits, trimming the fat.
See you on the next USA travel video
As a Swede I immediately recognised Luleå and Kiruna. It was so obvious it was it Kiruna bc there was the airport symbol and later the hospital symbol next to it. I thought Narvik would lead him up the E10 to look at Kiruna instead of the base of the E10, but ... he beat them so
14:20
GeoWizard: "I've been to the US"
Me: "Yes! Another straight line across a country video!"
As a Jerseyman, it always makes me happy when the island comes up on Geoguessr videos. Sweet win with it too :)
I haven’t seen much of the Channel Islands before, let alone been to them, but was proud of myself identifying them whilst playing in my head, as after first I initially thought of Australia, when Tom got to the house, which sort of seemed half Gaelic/Celtic and half Mediterranean, with the fact that was Northern hemisphere and sea to the North, I was shouting internally for the guess to be placed on one of the islands! 😅🇯🇪
Same!! It's great to see it, and it is so distinctive.
Jersey is really distinct and recognizable on GeoGuessr.
I LOVE your Geoguessr series
You were on an absolute roll until that Czech round! Some very impressive guesses! Just shows a brutal competitive mode is.
he's still wearing the Nats jacket bless him
3:58 Hint : if you see some place in France called "somethingAC", it has to be in the south west quarter (wine region : Mérignac, Pauillac, etc.).
‘I’m gunna piss myself, no seriously I need a piss’ is the best quote ever. Tom, you are hilarious and I love you, soz Verity x
Let out an audible oh no with my mouth wide open at 31:00 😂. Love your cope at the end saying that was gonna happen, he was too good at the end, even though you were bang on before you changed your guess 😂
“Are we in the states?” As he passes an American flag lololol
I had to pause. Is that the Nationals jacket?! 😂😂 hilarious
When it’s the healing round and you are almost full just send it. Dont wait and let OP find it and heal more.
It is impressive to be sat on an open road with nothing but field around you and guess the right Country let alone the right area. And in a matter of seconds..under pressure. That's mad.
Tom fell for the age old "gabe itches" 😭😭
I think one of the most important thing Tom have and other geoguessr content creator don't is his will to find the smallest place ever. He is probably still the only guy to search for a small town for 30 minutes to get 5k in a round lol.
I love how unintentionally funny Tom is lmao
Tom, you are still among the best of the best for making geoguessr videos that are entertaining. There may be a lot of people who are a lot better than you but I wouldn’t watch videos of them playing and I would for you.
Keep it up mate! Love your videos.
Cheers Richard!
Love the GeoGuessr videos :)
The Quintana Roo guess was the first time since beginning to watch you that I knew a location you weren't sure of. I'm calling that a moral victory.
Loved the video. A little tip for french towns ending with "ac", they are practically all around the Bordeaux area :).
Brilliant video Tom !!!!
“I hate the thought of him being bullied for that bag” lolll
love it when you do competitive! and is hospital in swedish literally 'sick house' haha
Yeah might be. Doesn’t sound strange. It’s the same in Dutch (ziekenhuis - sick house/ house for the sick) and German (Krankenhaus - same)
"first time I've used dong isn't it" absolutely made me howl
Don't worry too much about not being the best at knowing where the green or blue google car comes from. First of all you are an amazing player and secondly, you are extremely entertaining and that's why those videos are still very popular
Keep going man! You deffo have the potential to be a grand wizard of legend. Fight that imposter syndrome!
"I think i've got to talk a bit less if I have any chance" You and zi8gzag are polar opposites 😂
Lost it when he said "beyond get ins" 🤣🤣🤣 never heard that in my life
i love this content from you Tom but i would LOVE another wetherspoons vid soon!!
I think this video is a testament that you’re ready for NMPZ 10 seconds again
Excellent Jacket Tom!
loving the yank jacket. I dont even play geoguessr but I just come back for the funny commentary. Love from Toronto hopefully you make your way to Canada.
Thought I'd give my take on some of these rounds and add some clues you can use:
Game 1 (2:58):
Round 1 (3:03): Polish electricity poles, identifiable by the fact that they are concrete and consist of holes which do not reach all the way to the bottom
Round 2 (3:45): Small blue sticker on the pole, which is unique to France. Also town names ending with 'ac' tend to be more southern in France
Round 3 (4:33): Large circular blur around the camera with low-quality coverage along with Hindi is India. In duels Indian car coverage seems to always be in New Delhi
Round 4 (5:06): Slovakian language on those blue signs, Czech/Slovak bollards in distance (identifiable by two orange strips on them)
Round 5 (6:03): Grey Google car with bars is Kyrgyzstan, not to be confused with the Guatemala car which is also grey but a bit more bulky, and climate is much warmer. Also it is the north car, as the reflection of the car does not reach the left side of the left wing mirror
Round 6 (6:47): Fairly easy round, but also had octagonal concrete poles which are almost always Mexico
Round 7 (8:46): Again Mexico poles, along with Gen 4 camera and South America stubby antenna at spawn
Round 8 (9:52): Yellow outside lines, red-on-white chevrons, 'R' road numbers on green signs, white car, driving left, all good South Africa clues
Game 2 (12:43):
Round 1 (12:48): 'Rifts' in the sky, with standard EU plates (only one blue strip) and Balkan looking should be Montenegro
Round 2 (13:40): Not a lot to go on, but wooden poles, no antenna, mailboxes on the floor, are all very common in US/Canada
Round 3 (15:06): Pedestrian crossing sign with 4 stripes is unique to Norway and Sweden, and yellow sign underneath is unique to Finland and Sweden, meaning we must be in Sweden
Round 4 (16:17): Red number plates in a mountainous Asian climate is Bhutan
Round 5 (17:01): Longer antenna with rectangular concrete poles is usually Ukraine/Russia
Round 6 (17:22): Apart from the flag, words ending with 'ja' are very common in the Balkans
Round 7 (17:59): Similar to round 5, but with Cyrillic. Also trees painted white at the bottom are common in Ukraine
Round 8 (18:34): Left hand drive, yellow back plates and white fronts, fairly easy round. I can't see clearly but there might have been a red strip on the back plate of that van which would give away Isle of Man, which also commonly uses Gen 2 camera
Round 9 (19:24): From what little we can see we can make out a sign post with black and white stripes and palm trees, which is Malaysia
Round 10 (19:33): Nothing much to say here
Round 11 (20:13): I would have never guessed Jersey so can't help here lol
Game 3 (23:03):
Round 1 (23:10): Grey car with similar clues to game 2 round 4
Round 2 (24:06): Austrian blue street signs, very often Vienna
Round 3 (24:21): Low cam coverage, Japanese script, very nice spot to see Mount Fuji and excellent guess by Tom
Round 4 (25:12): Italian, shorter plates with blue strips on both sides
Round 5 (26:07): Thai electricity poles are concrete, rectangular and with small dots going down them
Round 6 (26:45): Grey Guatemala car
Round 7 (27:26): If you looked down you would've seen black tape on the bar which is the Ghana car. Also seemed a bit drier than usual Ghana so a bit northern
Round 8 (28:11): Korean language, identifiable by the circles in the text
Round 9 (28:56): Signs saying 'Speed Limit' are unique to the US, and the lack of front plates and the tropical climate seemed good for Florida
Round 10 (29:47): Gen 4 camera, bright coloured facades, good clue for Mexico
Round 11 (30:26): The letters 'ě' and 'ř' are unique to Czech. Road signs with a red or blue background are a good clue for Czechia rather than Slovakia if its a 50/50
Feel free to add anything else below or correct me where I'm wrong.
for the last one, there's a building with "Ceska" written on it, right before he guessed
Just to add - for that FL round (game 3 round 9), the P.A. you saw on the sign stands for public accountant, it was a business.
I love when my neck of the woods pops up in these. you weren't that close :)
