#chess #ludwig #PogChamps3
Whats that song at 2:37:00!!
1:06:18 is he implying yerba mate won't make him feel regenerated? He's like "If only I had something to make me feel regenerated, but all I have is this shitty Yerba Mate"
Michelle & Mr Beast's colour coordination (Maroon & Green) was on point.
1:25:19 yes
the guayaki advert has the pieces wrong. this is strangely stress-inducing.
03:54:54 my feet fell asleep ... hikaru: nice :)
03:54:54 my feet fell asleep ... hikaru: nice :)
How the heck did mrbeast get there
Nice pogchamp 4 leak 1:18:20 cant wait
What is the Song called in the beginning? Its a banger in my opinion but I am to dumb to find it please help.
What version of the Halo theme was QT listening to?? That double bass was nice
Danny killed it this stream, great commentary from him and Hikaru
Why is ludwig so annoying? He's so arrogant I automatically root for the more humble player
Am i the only one who noticed that in the Yerba Mate ad the board is set up wrong?😂
Practitioners in Germany held activities at the Munich Marienplatzch on August 24, 2019, introducing the benefits of Falun Gong, and exposing the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) crime of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. Many people had the opportunity to learn about what's happening and signed a petition in support of Falun Gong. Practitioners teach the Falun Gong exercises A tourist from China was learns about Falun Gong and the persecution Tourists learn the Falun Gong exercises Signature collection calling for an end to the persecution A continuous stream of tourists, including those from China, visited Marienplatz. Practitioners told them about Falun Gong's popularity worldwide and how the CCP's propaganda slanders Falun Gong. Entire families of Chinese tourists took this opportunity to quit all the Communist organizations they had joined. Expressing Concern About the Persecution
Am I the only one who think that poki is super fake?
Yo danny talking about Dobby getting it on with Malfoy's mom was weirdchamp x1000, lmao. I'm with it
What the fuck was Ludwig doing here
Really hope pogchamps 4 is with 32 participants!
They don’t know naruto...
Music at 1:23:26?
Danny shilling for the sponsor is hilarious lol
By far the two most annoying commentators. Pair one of them up with literally anyone else and it's a good combo. These two together are cringe af
I would like to see the chess coach play among us
I have high hopes for the future of PogChamps. I think we could see PogChamps for different ELOs in the future. It's great watching these players improve over time
yeah like if they make it by elo like sub battles it woud be great
Nice pogchamp 4 leak 1:18:20 cant wait
Why is ludwig so annoying? He's so arrogant I automatically root for the more humble player
dude tbh Sardoche also is arrogant lmao
I hate sardoche
Ok
Ludwig looks crushed at the end, despite what he says. Great match through. Well done both of you. Sardoche looks much stronger since he lost to Benjy earlier. Benjy vs Sardoche will make for a good final if it happens (it will!).
What music is playing at 1:23:15 when Ludwig gives his speech
Can I say the best combination of people speaking on this screen are lud Danny and hikaru. Hess is great on here too
i lost a tournament on dota 2 today at semi finals and that's okay but damn ludwig losing here gave me sadge
T H R O B B I N G
I like how everyone was against sardoche but he manage to win at the end wat a great game of both player
2:43:00 he says fuck off dog, you have 30 000 subs but apparently your brain doesn't work perfectly sadly XDDD the trashtalking revenge
@Max Khovanski Even if I fucked up your translation is wrong, he said "je vais tellement le trashtalk, il faisait trop le malin" which means Im going to trashtalk him, he was acting like a child
@Max Khovanski oops I fucked up in the timer, I was talking about 2:43:00
That's not what he says at all. The actual translation is "I really am a trashtalker. But he is too clever, he is too clever".
@Lúcio but he only said that because of ludwig's trashtalks
Yeah I mean it’s all in the heat of the moment, although Sardoche has been incredibly sweaty for this tournament. Nice for him to take it seriously but you think he’s gone a little off the scale, literally worry for him if he loses in the final...
karma
Hikaru on Pogchamps: "That's a GREAT move.. objectively it's probably bad"
1:05:54 , what if Kb4 to block the rook and after takes then Qb5? As it's covered by the bischop?
WHERE IS THE GUY WHO COMMENTS ALL THE TIMES!?!?! I'm lost without you
@Maryam No the Jordan guy, I just found him though lol
You mean levy? Aka gothamchess?
Sardoche actually won because of what Cinderella said for against Ludwig. "You have to fight him so he will not call you Sardouche" -QTCinderella
Will Michelle ever allow herself to feel good about her chess? It's going to be hard to keep chess as a hobby if you're always going to beat yourself up about it.
I think that was just shock. She definitely had a very positive reaction on her IG story
She should watch Logics post game interviews. Dudes so inspirational and his speeches stopped me from beating myself up after bad plays.
Did we really just watch chess for 4 hours...
damn, these two games by michelle were great, cool to see where she went from that first game with rainn. ludwig vs sardoche was great as well
Sardoche is the best player in the tournament no discussion
2:23:43 "Smoke a cigarette frenchy, you seem stressed out! It's just a chess game amongst shitters." Lud on point hahaha!
2:44:24
Hikaru and Daniel are a great combo! Daniels humour and Hikarus overworldly skills are a good match!
Pokimane has so much Pride. She can't bare to be checkmated so she resigns.
Beast want to learn now. Just a little late. But good on him!
Bye bye Ludwig, Mrbeast and pokimane, out now ! This is the best day of the tournament 😌
Wtf Sardoche is taking it too seriously
How do you take a $100,000 chess tournament "too seriously"?
There's money to be made. Completely justified imo
@Sunskrith because he said he trained every day during 2 month with his coach or something He trained a lot, so of course he's taking it seriously
@Pout so how the fuck would you know if he doesn’t show it - you read his mind through the screen?
Ludwig too, but he doesn't show it
Didn't know Michele khare has indian heritage. Noice.
You blind brah? lol
yes her father is indian and her mother is american
MrBeast in 2069: Destroying Eiffel Tower and surprise France with a taller one..
I really enjoyed these matches! Unfortunately, I was also surprised by the toxicity in Anna's chat ( 3:35:57 ).
@Tarpeing how is sardoche toxic?
Sardoche is too obsesses with chess, my gosh.
Chess = beautiful game so it’s normal
How's everyone so positive... Everyone's rating is between 500-1200 but then Sardoche pops up with nearly 1500, it's not even fair.. He's gonna win the entire thing after kicking 2 of the viewer's favourites out fairly early because he's just too high rated... Nice.
@DJ Dorlis Apparently voicing an unpopular opinion in a calm manner is whining like a fucking child? Take your pills before you have a breakdown... Fair enough that he really wanted to sweat it out and get good, but there's comments here saying he got selected at 1250, and had been training for a while before that for a showdown against another streamer so clearly he was already good.
@revacho a Yes I agree with you. I hope everyone will surpass themselves for pogchamps 4 so people stop complaining about people taking the tournament seriously beating up people who don't.
@OmegaZechips he plays so much that his rating has been kind of bouncing around a bit ie he was 1083 on January 11th but was usually 1100+ back in December and around 1200-1300 for most of January. But in general I agree, it's fine to take the tournament seriously and he is certainly doing that and might very well get the (deserved) victory for it.
@revacho a Yeah, you're right my bad. But still, he started grinding when pogchamps 3 was announced and he was 1083 on January 11th. He still managed to get 400 elo in less than two months. So my point still stand. If he wants to win more than the others, the others just have to get better.
@OmegaZechips he started training for a showdown against another streamer that went down January the 16th and was selected for Pogchamps when he was around ~1250 in rating
Hello, Is it possible to add subtitles ? I'm french and can't understand everything except when sardoche is speaking english.
1:20:53 Rooks and Bishops are in wrong place BRUH
The lewd connection wessely ban because creditor neurally push forenenst a zonked quart. obedient, dull watch
MICHELLE DID SO GREAT! I’m so happy!!!
1:51:45 unbeatable commentary
3:16:44 (just a time stamp, don't mind me)
3:25:19. Dan WTF. Rxbd7 is gg
Is Michelle in finals?)
This pokimaine girl has such a entitled, "i don't care" attitude. Complete RBF too.
2:45:07 KEKW
Pokimane seems to "sometimes" be using an engine. Her eyes veer to the side when she is making some strong moves above her level. Is there any safe guard in place against engine moves?
@Mac hhahahahahaha
Yeah, she must be using one of those engines that hangs rooks and misses bank rank mates. Actually can't believe you just suggested she was cheating. Unreal.
nah, i mean she makes very bad blunders that makes her lost
2300 player couldn't mate with the bishop pair??? That's a bit unbelievable.
1:59:26 - the best inspirational speech of all time
Looking at these donation totals and meanwhile jimmy donated 10k himself
KGcode: finish your mid fade without pausing Me: *Holding my pair of scissors* son of a bitch I’m in.
If mrbeast had known that is a peon in step, he could have won
Félicitations to today's winners!!! Very good games!!
Sardoche-Ludwig games and the interviews were gold
I love lubwig but man, he is kinda annoying.
1:18:17 LOL
32:02 Delayed Bongcloud
Matches getting better and better✌
Lmao I love how awkward they are about these tea advertises.
The fact that Hikaru “instantly” spot a tactic on Na2 in the first game Ludwig-Sardoche scares me.
@Mr. Pointless time stomped ✅
@Rushikesh timestamp for the tactic??
@G S Lud is not that beginner dude, Sardoche attacked his another knight with his pawn. So anyone would try to save knight rather than taking a free pawn
@G S as someone that's played against Danny few times I can confirm that he can find similar tactics when he is playing, even if they are not winning material "just" exposing the king.
It’s not even that advanced (I don’t mean that in the condescending way) because taking the pawn with check is correct but more importantly it’s a very tempting move to beginners who love free pawns and checks. the follow up is just seeing there’s a fork, but yeah the difficult part is realizing that there are two knights looking at it. I’m surprised Danny didn’t see it but it’s fair because he’s just commentating and not really playing. I’ve seen a video of Hikaru finding a under-promotion to bishop tactic in seconds as well and that was crazy
they were expecting GM level tactic from Lud
@Rushikesh tbh, if you are above 1500 the first thing you should be looking forin that position is checks and captures and like levy said, danger levels. I think seeing Nxa2+ (which Ludwig probably didn't intend when he played Nb4) is the hardest part, rather than the fork that comes after it.
@cjxchess17 nope it's not that obvious. Ludwig's other knight was attacked at the same time, saving it is the first thing that comes in mind. I'm >1500 elo and with little effort, I would've found it if someone told me there was a tactic there
@Rushikesh Keep in mind he has been commentating for the past 2 hours at the same time, while I also didn't expect Ludwig to find it I think most 1500s should be able to find it during a 10 min game (or at least see Nxa2, after which Nc3 would be obvious)
@cjxchess17 dude, neither did that International Master spot that tactic. It's an easy tactic when you know there is a tactic there
It’s more like a 1500-1700 level tactic
Ludwig at the end didn't really panic he wasn't focus on the game and that's why he lost.
Pokimane, you'll be missed 😥
: O Daniel thought Naruto was river dancing. Lol its understandable but sad.
im lowkey proud at how well Lud played this tourny
It’s crazy to see how much he has improved and I’m proud of the effort he has been putting into by getting lessons with Hess. It’s just really difficult to win this kind of tournament because there will always be people higher rated than him. I’m a little bitter about him losing to Sardoche who has been the sweatiest player I’ve seen by far, grinding chess 8 hours a day for over a month. Great match from them both though, ultimately the better player progressed.
I can't believe neither of them knew that Matt Damon's best movie is Thor: Ragnarok.
@bariqi setijoso Loki. Or... an Asgardian actor portraying Loki. Who's to say?
He was in that movie? As what?
I don’t understand why lugwig trash talk sardoche just for the fact of being french 🤷♂️
@Tarpeing loll
Cry French baby
i mean, i think they're both pretty chill now, but his chat sometimes makes fun of sardoche just because he is trying hard lol. idk about sardoche's chat tho i don't understand french lol
@Rob The Kid Most of them are pretty sweaty, its a tournament. And especially that he has the highest rating out of everybody, you expect him to have that pressure.
He wasn't trash talking. I watched Sardoche's stream and before goin in the interview, the both of them congratulated each other in a call. And both were talking in french so... that was just banter and Sardoche was laughing too
Bruh sardouche is such a sweat
michelle has come a long way since her encounter with rainn , she's playing pretty damn well
@Mat Roqueta exactly
ikr?? From a first match vs the strongest player in her group (and maybe in the tournament) to getting into the consolation bracket finals with one of the most pog backrank checkmates in pogchamps history
@Jenil Shah yes she defeated pokimaine in semis 2-0 , both of them being pretty epic games
Is she in finals??
I’m so glad Michelle got those wins. She has put in mad work and it is paying off! I want to see her win the consolation bracket
@Paxielle ikrr
@Paxielle Exactly, it's so satisfying seeing her winning after so many people wrote her off because of the Rainn match.
Dude the amount of people bad mouthing her I kinda want her to pop off
@d. nadin yeah, I mean everyone worked hard and deserves win but I think favourite is neeko rn.
@Stratum7 yea i don't really know if she can win, I don't watch her match with tubbo but i watch her games with rainn wilson tho and tbh i think she improved, I'm hoping she could win tho, she trains a lot. but I'm also rooting for neeko, if she wins so idk who am i gonna support lol
The spurious twig endoscopically pack because draw sadly carry throughout a wakeful rat. wild, bouncy glider
Does anyone else find sardoche really weird? Like kinda strange and sweaty and gross. Strange.
@Tarpeing you completely misread my comment. Maybe it is poorly phrased but what I meant is that one can dislike Sardoche because of what he says/has said in the past. I didn’t assume that YOU, as an individual, were hating on him for that.
@DJ Dorlis it ain't any the Lang bro. I don't find rubius weird. Bro idk what it is, just checking if anybody else sees it
@Tarpeing weird in what sense? I mean of course you could dislike him for his controversial opinions and his persona but he’s overall a normal person that is VERY competitive. Je comprends pas 🤷🏾♂️
Lmao just because he doesn’t speak your language you find him weird? He’s just a normal guy 🤷🏾♂️
He's not confortable talking in English so it adds to the weirdness. But I assure you he's a normal guy
omg he actually resigned. what a french thing to do
He only had his king tbh, I would resign too. And please, you’re cultured enough to look beyond simple French bashing, so please kindly do
? he searched for the draw after his mistake , he already had a win
He was waiting for the Americans to arrive late to help him and take all the credits for the victory but they were too busy fighting diabetes
In the end he won anyway and humiliated his opponent.
And your mum, she resign ?
Go michelle
2:09:30 xQc has Taught Hikaru well
@Nick Mao but it control the centre which is why it’s a good move
not so because bishop will only attack 2 pieces, not forking anything and not winning any material Hikaru gotta work out on this a bit more
In the interview of ludwig v sardoche, it's like them with their respective older brothers lol!
Sardoche said before the interview "I'm gona trashtalk him as fuck... Oh no I'll stay humble"
1:56:36 "yeah i mean sardoche really actually, i-i've said that his nerves have been *his biggest shi*-... B-biggest issue" -GMNakamura 2k21
@The Idiot thanks, i misheard it
Reminds me of when he said something in a 4 player chess match
His nerves have been*
Ludwig put up a fight!
Rook and King end game is easy 🤔..... If you have experience tho 👍
Mr. Beast is so trash, he should just stick to giving away money for stupid shit
wooow man, incredible moment at 2:23:01 when hikaru said that is starting to turn around, ludwig is playing this famous ost from naruto called " reverse situation ", helping him to turn the table and win the game
yeaah one of the best moment of pogchamp history i think, thats give chills indeed
I had goosebumps
How about the next pogchamps contains all of the previous champions of consolation and winners brackets?
We need some OG in pogchamps 4. Vas-y Ceb!
I think winner, and people who lose on the final match (finalist?) will be good. Like pro pogchamps or something. If they need more player add previous pogchamps player that around 1100-1400 rating.
it's literally hard for Hikaru to not simp for Ludwig
@George Hernandez For me, it's Rensch lol
same for his bestfriend, magnus
@Natural Born Affiliate yeah I guess he would simp for the American one
I mean why would be root for some unknown frenchie when we got the very funny and charismatic ludwig
@Ryan Daughtridge I agree😌
