Nemo needs to work on premove calculation for the words that come out of her mouth
1:32:55 lol Alex
The vague goose accordingly entertain because memory emotionally rain by a military fear. torpid, round story
46:33 ...
49:51 *market square noises*
Do anybody know the name of the song that plays at 2:44:44 ? I really need it
Tubbo got ridiculously angry for his move at 1:09:40 but he played the best move ???? He didn't have a forced mate with Qg5 because her bishop could take his bishop. Interesting haha
Does anyone else think that Botez looks and sounds like a more attractive Robin Scherbatsky?
You know what's fun? Gouging your own eyes out
Now you go check check check take the juicier and win the game - sun tzu. The art of war
charlie so tilted he blundered if he just kept getting motivated and keeping heads up
SANTA ISNT REAL!?! HOW COULD YOU ALEX
If Pogchamps has tought me anything is that chess is great but twitch streamers are rubish. No, not rubish at chess (nobody cares about that). Just rubish in general...
And if this comment has taught me anything, it's that your spelling is rubbish
Mr beast please you can do it you or your friends together please
Tubbo with the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack, good choice, great game!
Bro, do you even rooklift?
I'm not even done with the charlie lud game but I hope charlie is ready to get his ass pulverized with "remove the defender" puzzles next lesson JESUS. Danya is about to lock Charlie in a closet until he is 1800 in puzzles
Nevermind, Danya got him in a post game decomp and told him no matter what he was proud of how he played and I nearly cried. What a sweet supportive coach
Can anyone tell me the name of the track Ludwig is listening to at 3 hrs 46ish?
pretty cool they got Dwight to play in Pog Champs.
Khare: moving pawn at the start Botez: wow great move Michelle, wow I love you!!! Tubbo: nicely find checkmate Botez: omg Hes panicking omg Hes luckily randomly found IT. And Hes panicking
You don't even rooklift bro?
It was way less exiting to watch when the commentators kept tuning into the players channels constantly. Usually they show different tactics and possible lines and then there is the will they find it excitement. Also it is better to hear what they are saying by just unmuting them instead of going to their actual stream. Other than that, good commentators.
Men, codemiko and mrbeast game is insane
3:38:00 The chain of peepee
Nemo is like: every 60 seconds a minute passes in Africa
All women commentating on a teen playing chess a bit silly even if he is good!
I find it kinda cringe how the chat was cow shitting on Tubbo. Idk imo Tubbo seem to be a nice streamer and the way chat was hating on him seem to be very unnecessary. Plus that time when they were even shitting on the hosts because they were amazed that Tubbo found the best move, everybody was like "its not that hard to find", "the hosts are exaggerating", "bad hosts". Bitch shut the fuck up, if you watch pogchamps and expect the players find every best move possible then you're the one who's been doing things wrong not the hosts.
3:24:?? Baka mitai. Alex. - what he is lisening?
As I stated after Day 1, showing the players' boards adds NOTHING to PogChamps, and only removes the larger board and Evaluation Bar from our view! All you are doing when you switch to the players' boards is showing us an inferior (often side-swapped pieces) board, with the SAME video feed and same size video box feed of the individual player, and adding their AUDIO. Why not just add the individual players' AUDIO feed on the regular board display, as you determine and as appropriate, and quit switching to their much-inferior board displays?! Otherwise, great job. Good to see Alex and Nemo together! - j q t -
Is the sound lagging behind at ludwigs match?
Audio is desynched for me
You're not a shitter you're the entire sewage system
SPOILERS BELOW
Hikaru doing chess puzzles - he solves them before I can even take in the position. 🤣
Damn what happened during 4 hour mark???
3:32:00 Jebaited
Lud and Charlie's friendship🥺✨
I was hoping the Code Miko and Mr Beast match was going to be a dumpster fire. I was not disappointed.
I like Mr Beast’s attitude. Always smiling win or lose. Be happy people!
i love whose line is it anyways?
3:36:30 for ludwig seeing bishop takes knight. Game over.
For Armageddon, in regards to what Ludwig said about black being fucked from the start. If you play a setup based opening like the Pirc defense you can make very fast moves in the opening, good way to get some of the time differential shortened
Armageddon in this rating range just kills what could actually be an entertaining tiebreaker. None of these players will ever play well in that scenario and white is like +70 to win every time.. please rethink that
"My c*ck is limping right now" - MoistCr1tikal February 2021
Great game by Ludwig!
I hope there is an xqc v Charlie Championship final.
*Ludwig's Speech*... I can't with this man 🤣🤣🤣 3:32:28
Why do they get to stream and let their subscribers tell them what to do, like in Tubbos matches.
It’s usually not like that. Most should be in Emote only and even then, the streamers aren’t good enough to really use the information well anyways
tsm 0 wins in groupstage who woulda thought
I can't stop laughing every time Hikaru says "juicer" XD
The first game between Moist and Ludwig was the game of the tournament so far. Sardoche vs Benji game 1 was very closed and conservative even though the quality was obvious. Moistkritical and Ludwig both played with aggression and creativity looking for mating patterns.
They should have made xqc and ludwig battle it out. It would ve been great.
I’m just jamming to Tubbo singing & dancing during his 2nd game The dude can sing 🎶
Never believed I’d ever be hyped for a group stage chess match between two streamers lol
Since most comments are about Charlie... Here's an appreciation msg for Ludwig😊 So proud of how well he's playing🔥
Is there such a thing as a simultaneous tournament? As in everyone is playing everyone else simultaneously, not just one person doing a simul. Maybe group stages with 5 per group so everyone plays 8 simul games, maybe 10+15. I'd watch a pogchamps of relatively strong players like the cream of pogchamps and NL
@Cat Cannon Nice. I hope twitch rivals will be available on youtube.
NL is going to be in twitch rivals chess
it is frustrating to se so bad play sometimes...(and im not even good)
it's frustrating to see such bad English sometimes..
worse commentary
“He played a good game, apart from the one Botez Gambit - which was declined.” lmao, loving the commentary :D
1:50:48 20. Re5 , it is in this position where both commentators squealed.
Charlie just keeps distracting himself with chat. Even during the lessons with GM Naroditsky he keeps glancing at chat.
It's a generational problem.
1:14:38 lol
24:55 Tubbo v MichelleKhare Game 1 57:22 Tubbo v MichelleKhare Game 2 1:32:15 CodeMiko v MrBeast Game 1 1:59:02 CodeMiko v MrBeast Game 2 2:45:38 MoistCritikal v Ludwig Game 1 3:18:20 MoistCritikal v Ludwig Game 2
4:07:59 The Hunger Games blueberry idea is absolute genius!
1:50:00 was so painful holy shit. I love miko but she is absolute pepega at chess lmao
3:43:33
Wasn’t nemo completely thirsting over lud or is it just me who thought that?
@Bad Cornflakes of course we all do I’m saying the other way around Wasn’t she thirsting over ludwig
@Bad Cornflakes he's saying the opposite 😂 She was thirsting over Lud, not Lud over her😂
Who doesn't like cute asian girls?
Christ Nemo doesnt even try to hide her crush on ludwig
Yeah, this environment is kinda weird. It's like they live in a bubble or play in a sit-com.
3:41:16
really like the chemistry between Alex and Nemo. more of this, pls.
1:22:34 Wut???
The amount of respect Critikal and Ludwig had on each other's skills was incredible. This was the first time I've seen Critikal so nervous on a chess match. What a main event!
Ikr... I love and respect them and their friendship so much😌
Best possible end for the group stages for sure, like a mini final
Alex doing the Lud7 salute there at the end, nice
3:55:35 best part
Ahh, my daily dose of Pogchamps 3, presented by Grip6
Hikaru at 3:56:00 is my spirit animal
Great commentary by the girls
3:21:59 11 seconds to miss Bxc3 Feel so bad for Mo1st :(
BOTEZ >>>>> NEMO
Why are random subhuman popular streamers being featured so much for chess? They're all trash lmao. They only stream for money never for entertainment
You are one of the Chess Snobs they keep mentionning that ruins the experience for most
ludwig explained it in another video. The purpose of pogchamps is to bring exposure and popularity to chess. Obviously no one is expecting them to be masters of chess. Also some of them aren't known for streaming. Logic is a famous rapper and Rainn Wilson is a famous actor who played Dwight from "the Office"
Guys this tournment is just for entertainment...
@User I’m sorry the free content that you don’t have to watch isn’t up to your standard
Great, then let it be entertaining at least. The amount of obvious misplays and mediocre commentary just makes this near unwatchable.
Right. So why do we have to listen to Nemo then? Next time what, Nemo + the little Botez? Wow. Next year I am looking forward, maybe they'll get Gilbert Gottfried.
Lud choked game 1 so hard
hikaru realizing he was the commercial break so deciding to do puzzles was the best part
Best part was him taking many juicers!
Hikaru: Why do I see myself? Also Hikaru: *let me flex with some puzzles* 😏
It was so funny when Hikaru opened Pogchamps and his stream was being broadcasted.
i find it funny everytime charlie gets called by the girls as "M O I S T"
1:23:22 no one mentioned wrongly setup board yet? :|
I like them both but I was rooting for Ludwig. He probably should have won the first match too if he didn't sacrificed a piece and played solid.
Good lesson on attacking chess though, fun to watch from the viewer perspective too.
41:33 sPrInKLe in the eyes
Ludwig won cause he was listening to Halo 3 Covenant Theme.
Hikaru: Why do I see myself? Oh wait, *time to show my shit*
For some reason I though you meant literal shit, and I was like wait what has happened to his streams.
@DiggOlive chat chat am I on chess TV? Anyway takes takes is good
Am I on Chess TV guys? Oh I’m on Chess TV. I’m on Chess TV? Oh, ok. Oh, I’m on Chess TV.
*solves 50 puzzles in 4minutes*
Lud vs moist is so dramatic
Baka Mitai while blundering the Queen was so well timed
@bilgeecarlos why would you go to the comments before watching?
@bilgeecarlos and? Spoiled? ;p
You spoiled it for me
I watched this live and I found the whole stream very entertaining! Good and funny moderation and very entertaining chess!
2:57:18 dont mind me just making a book mark
codemikos bot is better than her LULW
I think Rainn made a great point when he said Armageddon is stupid for this elo level. The one with time advantage is almost always going to win since no one at this elo is trying to draw a game (or even has technical ability to draw past a stalemate). Hopefully they change the tiebreak to blitz or bullet for next pogchamps.
@Yz Fool u right
@I dont wanna use my name There are no drawish positions at their level. They can't even see all checks and captures.
@Ninad Bhatt That's becuse GMs haven't learned to play hyper aggressively with white in Armageddon. Like fools, they play main lines. They need to play for two results - a win or a loss. Black should NEVER draw against White in armageddon at the GM level.
I don't see why there's any need at all in the group stages. Everyone plays each other twice and each game, as in individual game of chess, is 2 pts for a win or 1 for a draw. In the knockouts, in the event of a tie just play 2 games of 3 minutes and repeat until someone's clear. It's not like there's a physical time they have to stop.
I know an opening I can make drawish positions in but it's never a guarantee
Alex Botez best commentator
Good joke
she is very good, but I like Hess the most. Damn dude can adjust to any co-host and still rock it
Hikaru casually doing 30+ puzzles
Nemo is simping for Ludwig lolllll
“She’s playing great here, she’s terrific, she’s amazing.” *immediately botez gambits*
Lies don't last long on the chessboard.
