2:36:13 "how many times do I say takes takes, way too many" "ok obviously you take takes" 🤣🤣🤣
1:45:20 love that facial expression 😂😂
lol: they really didnt get the 6-9 ref in the end. nice 1, Lud. loved how u didnt explained and just stayed stoic af. XD 02:13:00
Ludwig and QTCinderella post game interview was golden.
The lud miko postgame was fucking brilliant. We need Carlsen's girlfriend commentating and shittalking him in the next open.
I believe several things are certain: When the Year 2021 comes to an end, we shall all be celebrating the ongoing and continued growth and interest in Chess; and what many of us will no doubt remember most fondly about Chess shall probably be PogChamps; and what most of us will especially recall about PogChamps will be the ineffable, and the one-and-only, charming and notorious tell-it-like-it-is: QTCinderella ( and her glorious _StoneWall_ ) 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍 - j q t -
I'm a bit late, but just another friendly reminder that having a QT or a Ludwig, or really anyone who isn't a literal god at chess is great for my viewing experience.
Ludbud
Man, what are you on about? Atleast i can easily stay under 200 pounds.
There is no need for such awful language
Super sonic racing
Why did they not ask neeko about the 3 queens lmao
Great dynamic between the commentators! QT asking what most people probably would be thinking/don't understand, GM Hess doing an awesome job explaining the positions and tactics. I like it when they focus more on the game.
QT with Anna and Hess was a pleasure to watch
I thought Ludwig and Rainn’s charities have been switched this whole time lol
Sardoche and Benji played very well. And love Hess' commentary
Man, QT is a little not fun to listen to. Gimme Levy or botez or something
Just in case anyone doesn't know, QT isn't a WGM. She's like 900 rated
Wow what a shock I thought for sure she was a WGM with all that amazing insight
I was struggling myself to understand how the heck she could become a WGM, thank you
I cannot stand QT props to Hess for staying professional
3:26:45 THE LEGENDARY BOTEZ GAMBIT
I feel like QTCinderella is just a smarter version of Bretta from Community
Spoiler- On Sardoche’s queen blunder: I feel like this is what happens when you try to learn chess so quickly. You can learn all of the tactics and strategies and mates- but if you haven’t been playing for years, you don’t have anti-blunder engraved in your soul. (When I say blunder, I mean ones where you just give up a piece for completely free and not because of a missed tactic. Like moving your queen to a square a bishop defends, etc.)
QT + Hess duo was fun. They have a cool dynamic.
The audio is broken
37:55 I love how Anna just got stuck smiling and no one noticed because it's her default look anyway.
Man, it's hard to watch qtcinderella with her comments.. Is she really a WGM? I don't think a WGM would call a bad move and blame it on the chat and call chat stupider... I feel so bad for Anna..
CodeMiko with the SOLID 1.1% accuracy in Game 1 😩
Does anyone know what pogchamps theme song is?..xd its kinda fire :D
Robert is such a great commentator. Qt sucks. I hope I never hear her voice again
I can't stand cinderella as she only comments on who she likes or not. Listening to true chess players is much better than her as it should be commentary not her stream, go do nothing elsewhere. Also I feel like CodeMiko came so unprepared it's sad as well it's still tournament
Love QT ❤️ I don’t know why people are so mad, this was just a one-time thing, not like she’s permanently replacing the professionals.
Who else felt really awkward when Hess and Ludwig were talking? Sorry QT, your bf is a douchebag...
I feel so bad for Sardoche! He's been practicing so much and almost had it... Hope he doesnt let that get him down
Love QT and Hess together.
3:07:16 i was curious
Can someone please tell me who qtCinderella looks like? I have been staring at her for 2 hours and I *cannot* figure it out
Morgot robbie or blake lively
Ludwig - a guy with a *double Bachelor* - actually for real thought that 2% MILK made his coffee sweet? And when he learns that it's sugar, he's like "that should be illegal"? Man, this whole story is as american as it gets. Dumbfuckistan really is wild. How do you go to university and think that coffee with milk is *sweet* ffs? And how is it not mandatory to display contents of food items in the US? And why does Starbucks marketing strategy of "just make 'em addicted to sugar" *work* in the US? I have SO many questions...
Its crazy over here, unfortunately they cut away but Ludwig was like thats like spiking a drink should be illegal
I dont really like QTCinderella as a replacement for Levy, Robert seems much more uncomfortable with her... I dont really have anything against her but GothamChess is a much better commentator personally
I dont know how I feel about pogchamps. It's nice seeing the streamers I like play chess (a game I like) and it makes a lot of memes, but I feel like only popular people are accepted in to take lessons, not mildly well-known people with actual potential. Take for example poki who is literally only doing it for views and shit. My 9 y/o brother has 700 elo which is higher than pokimane even though she's training with literal gms and has been practicing for a bit now and is DEFINITELY not 9. So mixed feelings
@sakiana yeah I guess you're right
this whole tournament it just for fun to promote the game. nobody is doing it for _the views_ actually most of the contestant's views drop drastically the moment they play chess. as for Poki she has 7,5 million Twitch followers I doubt she needs Chess.com's or Hikaru's views... *you could've just said you can't stand her and call it a day* well congrats to your 9yo brother I guess, but if he isn't a streamer/youtuber he simply doesn't qualify for Pogchamps.
Hey Myth! Stop trying to be XQC please!
caster cursed sardoche
I have to say, I really didn't enjoy the commentary with QTCinderella as a host . Not much input from her in terms of analysis of the games, and she seemed to make Robert's job much more difficult. Maybe it's just me, but I prefer to have 2 chess professionals hosting, or her sense of humor isn't my style... Also, I am not sure how it is a good joke to put WGM next to her name, as getting this title is an extraordinary achievement which not a lot of women completed.
It's not your fault, she wasn't funny just annoying.
Agreed for sure, that's almost exactly what I wrote but longer!!
una marca de yerba mate sponsorea un torneo de show internacional? fuaa
Go Benjy. EPIC!!!
Hess is the GOAT. He just has a feel for when to talk, when to joke, and when to teach. A+
Also there are a lot of elitist pricks right now hating in QT for not being professional... Guys, relax. I'm pretty sure the sanctity of the event went away in Pogchamps 1 when Charlie yelled that his cock was throbbing after a 6 move mate lol. If y'all want a bunch of serious people staring at a board, go watch the champion tour
She's LK annoying..
Agree
Sardoche played really well,!!! hope he will be okaay
I really wanted to watch all the pogchamps games live, but I live in Texas and didn’t have power all week. I’m glad the games are being posted on youtube still so that I could watch them
is robert keep saying to cindrella - cutie?
Her twitch name is QTCinderella. The letters Q and T sound like cutie when pronounced together, it’s a bit of a pun.
3:31:11 Oh yeah here we go with those racist stereotypes yes AWESOME thank you very much assholes..
@Pihu I didn't try to cancel anyone
@Pihu true
I hope u consider watching it just a few seconds further... Ludwig literally says "There's only room for 1 french winner today, and that's me"! Who are u calling racist brother, he himself is french😂 My humble request to u to watch anything twice, with a cool mind in future before trying to cancel someone for no reason 🙏🏼 U're the only person who emerged as a dumbhead here after this instance!
Jeez myth talking about jujustu kaisen
ludwig vs codemiko reminded me one punch man. it was so one sided ( not spreading hate but ludwig is just better then codemiko at chess thats all)
QT seems like she has no idea why she's there...
She said they only told her about it at short notice so makes sense
Seeing Hess hear the fridge running joke for the first time is so adorable.
More fortnite at the beginning then actual chess
God damn, 46 min into it and I’ve watched one chess match
QT was pretty entertaining
Hey I’m a fan!
Hess is a LEGEND , love his coverage
One of these commentators was absolutely superfluous. Totally unnecessary.
1:34:28 Ludwig is just adorable 😂❤️
I don’t mind chess skill or anything but I can’t stand Cinderella voice nor her deminor:/
poor sardoche... but congrats to benjy what a game!
All fantastic. Except for QTblabla... Make Commentary Great Again!!!
Why is it so out of sync this time around? Commentators calling moves a good 2 seconds before they happen
The matches that Benjy vs Sardoche reach is the typical 1300 rating matches, where either player doesn't know what to do and they either wing it or lose on time. Very solid though, compared to a lot of other matches.
2:34:00 Hikaru: oh no, not a break Hikaru: Let’s go watch someone else Hikaru: Oh wait, they’re featuring me Hikaru: Let’s do some puzzles :))) Let’s go again, let’s go again Hikaru: Checkmate, Checkmate, Checkmate, Checkmate, checkmate, checkmate, checkmate, checkmate, checkmate the queen, checkmate, you can obviously take on b3, check check mate
How does he assess the position in less than two seconds???
Epic hahhahaha
Codemiko is awesome
Yay. QTCinderella. Best moment of the last Pogchamps when when QT blundered the Queen right at the end of the match. Nooooooooooo.....whyyyyyyyyy......whyyyyyyy! I think she’s great! Can we have a QT Bot? Pleaaaase?
The chat in youtube streams are dumb no?
Yeah, turninh it off won't hurt. Full of spam and "chess experts"
Its very annoying that the commentary is out of sync with the game, you hear what happens before it happens, please change this.
Yeah this bothered me a lot
3:30:42
Still think games from weaker players are more fun QT?
In my opinion qtc isn't a good part of the commentator team.. it's just a bit to unprofessional in change for levy or Anna
Hess is the best chess commentator in the world and incredible human being
how is Cindarella WGM? or it doesn't mean woman grand master?
@RG001100 I remember her in last pogchamps and now I was confused :D
She isn't a WGM, it's a joke. :o)
They don't have GM abhish Matheus with his king giving 619 😂😂
Sponsor de yerba mate? Xd
Can Ludwig commentate again?
One guy in the chat said "French should have stuck to his culture and ran the king as far away from the board as possible." Do this guy knows that France is one the countries that has the most victorious war in all of its history? I know it's a meme, but come on man! Don't continue propage some nonsense...
Whats the song name at 1:18:45?
@Julio Alberto Obregón Peña thx!
Where would I be - YPT Vylant Angel I found it using an app named Music Match
qt ruined this stream. She didn't talk about chess have the fucking time. She's pretending to actually give a damn about the game while making a joke every 5 seconds
Great commentary guys. QT and Hess are quick.
Yikes QTCinderella was a little inappropriate during Ludwig's second match
Another case of "decent looks, rotten core." Very uncharismatic commentary from a self-absorbed woman. 38:12 Poor Anna was so put off by QT's rant that her camera freezes, and she's left perpetually smiling in pain.
Hope QT doesn't return, gods she's annoying
The funny thing about their hatred on stonewall is the world champion like the stonewall in one of his interview.
The last match up is the best match up this far only better one would be with rainn wilson
After 1 hour i had to mute this stream thanks to Cinderella's low level trashtalk attitude. This was not funny at all.
Neeko looks like she is 40
Qtcinderella hosting was honestly, surprisingly a breath of fresh air
Can’t believe I missed benjy vs sardoche live. WHAT A GAME!!! I wasn’t particularly fond of either of them at the beginning of the tournament (just because I didn’t know either of them) but now I’m hoping to see them match up against each other once more. That was a high quality game for pogchamps. Hopefully more to come!
this qtcinderella guy has the lowest social awareness of pretty much anyone who has appeared on this event before
Gal you mean.
what the utmost infernal abomination was Qxf7
Please do not have QTCinderella on as a commentator again.
I found the commentary quite entertaining. Slightly hit and miss at times from both Hess and QT. I think it's a bit of a shame QT doesn't appreciate the slightly slower games. She's sharp enough, and very intense.
Please don't ever have QT on commentary again. Totally unwatchable today :(
2:47:10 good fucking music taste
Robert Hess commentary is so great. You get to learn chess and be entertained at the same time.
@M. A. Yeah, a get this 'twitchy' vibe around this event but being cool and funny doesn't have to be like this. And it might and should be more professional. Like Rob for example.
@Grzesiek It's like night and day between the two. She admits to being a heavy drinker, so her tactless presentation makes sense.
Sadly QTblabla is a very poor match here.
Absolutely. Hess and Danya are the dream team
That myth clip in the beginning got me not gonna lie
What an amazing game 2 between Benji and Sardoche. Real shame he had to try the Botez gambit right before winning the game. Really entertaining to watch. Looking forward to seeing both of them fighting it out in the finals hopefully.
the end of sardoche/benjy game 2... it hurts...
Why do I ship QT and Hess tho hahaha
