they absolutely knew what they were doing by placing this match as the last in the whole group stage

[atrocity]

This was probably the best and most balanced match of the tournament. I hope they can meet at the finals again, quite improbable, but something i can believe in

Baka mitai playing
"Oh he blunders his queen"
Ceritified Baka Mitai moment

[biblybims]

Charlie should commentate like his does on his slap fights videos

Imaging not playing the intercontinential ballistic missile gambit

[akshittyagi]

Welp, now I can't decide which one I want more, Moist vs Ludwig or Moist vs xQc for the finals

[own]

Danya is gonna beat Charlie up for missing so many forks and tactics.

[ramachandra]

XQc has Sardoche, Ludwig has Logic and Charlie has Rainn Wilson as their next opponents . Whoever manages to win against these formidable opponents will become the favourite .

This is like watching Hikaru and magnus but if they were rated 1000

[ChronoStasis]

6:07 The exact moment he blundered his queen and "baka mitai" starts playing in the background lmfao
perfectly matched song for that occasion xD

At the end of game 1 there were 95k people watching on Chess' twitch, 40k on Ludwig's channel, 25k on Hikaru's channel, 20k on charlie's channel, 3k on danya's channel, and 23k on YouTube live. There were probably some people in multiple streams but that's over 200k watching a matchup of 1100s. I'm all for it

“Critical basically lost in the first six moves” how the tables have turned!

[JecIsBec]

I will never get over the fact that they got this famous hunger games actor to play chess

[apricot]

Is copyright the reason for some of these edits? In the first game you go from a position where Lud is absolutely dominating directly into a point where he is basically lost. Really bad not showing how Charlie managed to gain the advantage.

[pihu]

I love Charlie, but why is no one praising Ludwig for the amazing job he did in these matches!
MAN DESERVES RESPECT AND APPRECIATION✨
Also absolutely love their friendship 🥺

[Santiagoramallo]

Cant understand a thing if you keep jumping around games like that :(

[matthewrigby]

17:03 Ludwig was so close to saying "You even rook lift bro?"

[noone-quec]

Based on these games, Ludwig is a positional type of player. Doesn't go for tactics but he often stops his opponents threats and plays fast. While Moist is tactical cause he sees Ludwig's miss mates, but struggles in the time management.

Xqc on the other hand is very good in middle games for his rating, he finds ideas and can mix things up (even though dubious) for his opponent and himself.

This makes me want to watch a rematch between Moist and Xqc.

What a let down the tie breaker was.... less time and no incremental time.... just because GMs tie break that way doesn’t mean it’s appropriate for this tournament to do so
