    Most people will be pleased to know that the Spanish team was then defeated by the French team in finals, but what people who did not follow the French stream might not know is that France and Spain actually went against each other twice! The first time was at the very start of the tournament.
    For their first matchup, the French Team realized that the rules the tournament would play with were not the ones they had trained for when they had tried to learn how to play together, and then they were a taken by surprise by the tactics employed by the opposite team. So they lost. Not by much, but they lost by 7 points and had to win their qualifiers by winning the next two matchups.
    Only to go against Spain against in the Final and this time, now that they actually knew the rules they were playing with and were prepared for the kind of tactics their opponents would use, they slaughtered them, a 100 points difference.
    It felt like watching a shonen manga

    Hey guys, here's a little detail that you might not have seen in the video: If you look very carefully at Daniel during certain races, you will see that he is wearing a golden, inflatable crown on his head. It might take a couple times to see, as it is very subtle. Him wearing the crown is a small nod to the fact that some people, often refered to as "They", used to call him the "Drift King" back in college. Hope y'all enjoyed this little tidbit of lore!

      If you want to get upset at another video of RT getting unfairly screwed over in a tournament, I recommend his Cities Skyline video with The Spiffing Brit and two other guys that was sponsored by Red Bull. He and Spiff lost because the other two players catered to the judges by building Red Bull-themed cities. For instance, one of the prompts was to build a park. One of the players, instead of building a park, built a race course that exists in real life and is owned by Red Bull, proceeded to argue that their race track counts as a park because "both are entertainment", and won. I know it's just a game, but that kinda annoyed me.

    There’s always that one guy that invites you over to his house and then pulls out the Xbox and asks you to play Mortal Kombat. Having never played a videogame before, you agree. That one guy then proceeds to use his meta character and spam an inescapable 50 hit combo. When you inevitably lose without ever touching the ground, he switches to another character and does it all over again. After a couple hours, you put your controller down and respectfully say “Thank you for inviting me” and leave. That one guy then proceeds to whine to his “friends” that no one will hang out with him.

If one person per team used the meta build it wouldn't be so bad but a full team is too much IMHO. Prior to that when watching the stream it was so much good fun, but as soon as I saw the full meta team I just sighed. It really took away from the casual and relatable fun, seeing everyone's different karts and characters, and I found it difficult to continue watching.

Has someone known for entering casual tournaments as a pro-player and taking the prize. This is especially sketch because those past tournaments were for actual money, not just charity. This combined with number 1 is extra damning, but wouldn't be damning on its own. 3. The whole team entered the lobby of a casual Mariokart event using a pro-meta strategy + were using exploits throughout the races, something that other teams could have done (See RT telling Terrorizer not to do a Bullet Bill skip in the airport track). This alone would be fine if it were casual players who just knew a few tricks, but again, pro-players + past history of entering events as pros to take the prize sets this whole thing in a bad light.
      No one is saying they're automatically a bad person because they're good at Mariokart, but knowing you're good at a game then entering an event organized for casual players is a little bit sketchy, and extra sketchy if you have a past history of doing so with the intent to take the prize money.

    • @CptObvious
      @CptObvious Před rokem +138

      Well, it was supposed to be a strictly casual tournament, so they probably didn't think they needed to worry about banning meta stuff like that. They probably also didn't expect Spain to cheat and bring in two professional players. Spain honestly should have been disqualified. At least they lost to France in the finals.

    • @KingNedya
      @KingNedya Před rokem +26

      Yeah when I got into Mario Kart 7 and discovered secret stats I was amazed that they were hidden, because they are SO important. So important, in fact, that I spent hours making a spreadsheet that automatically calculated every stat (including secret stats) for every character and vehicle combo and compared them against each other, and I paid just as much if not more attention to the secret stats than the ones that are shown in-game.
      By the way, although the spreadsheet was probably pretty sweaty, I should note that I intentionally avoided looking into metas, because I wanted to base my build purely off of experimentation and my own analysis of the stats, and I hate metas just as much as everyone else.

    • @stingingcake853
