consus versus fungus may potentially be the most entertaining game of geoguessr ever performed

[sanakatsuka]

For a Geography game, how did you manage to commit such a basic error and got the Turkish flag mixed up with the Singapore flag for Trabota

3:23 for anyone missing context here, Lennli had technical difficulties which led to restarting the whole game while he had a big disadvantage in points. This was a nice fair play move by him, nice to see it 👍

The semi finals and the final were insane ! Consus and Blinky were absolute beast ! 🙏

[getrekt]

The 2 semi final games were absolutely insane

[MrChillaxor]

What about the turkey flag on Trabota?!

[samplautz]

It’s one thing to know what country you’re in. It’s another to know the city and find it that quick

[Thunder-vmug]

This was utterly entertaining. This needs to be bigger!

As an outsider to this amazing sport, is there a discussion about the scoring method? It's ok, somehow produces exciting enough games, but it's unbalanced and often unfair and too much luck based. It could be slightly adjusted to be way better.

First, just change the graphics to clearly show who won the guess. Even the commentary is confused many times, especially at the endgame.

Secondly, the damage multiplier slide is not ideal. With 11, 000 damage in the final rounds nothing before really matters. The curve should be reduced (for example increase every two guesses from x1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and x3 at most from guess 11 onwards) It would make games a bit longer and more balanced, putting more emphasis on skill rather than the fact that the same differences between players in later rounds are worth more.

Thirdly, it seems that sometimes luck is too powerful. When neither player knows the location but one happened to guess more north or smth that's dumb luck and sure that's a part of sports but it often completely takes away the significance of the skill from the entire round, especially with huge multipliers and often both players are almost equally as far from the goal.
When both sides just flip a coin and one wins due to luck it's much less satisfying.

Maybe one way to adjust the scores is a log function between the distance and points given. It rewards big for skillful guesses, when both players are close to the 5, 000 the difference in points between them will be bigger then it is now (no more 5, 000->4, 987... Both are great guesses but the closer you are the more valuable it must be credited),
and it deals not as much damage when both guesses are far, so as not to reward nor damage either of the players too significantly when they're both essentially guessing...

7:00 - 8:00 you were showing turkey flag for singpore just for your information Geoguessr :)

[WindowsDrawer]

2:42 THAT'S ENOUGH F*CKING STONING!

[joellim]

7:47 Trabota's from Singapore not Turkey. Wrong country flag

[mybirthwasamistake]

FINALLY, AN ESPORT SCENE THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE DOMINATED BY AMERICANS, CHINESE, AND KOREANS

[Oliffin]

The blinky is insane, he should have won. The amount of 5k's is impressive

[sturlingobrien]

[machidraws]

[ploofypeach]

“Top is so much better than the bottom” 😭😭😭 11:53

[htayyar]

For a game like this the flags should have been correct at least.

[misamisaa]
