qc8 is wining for black in first game
Why is everyone hating on QTCinderella? It's actually nice to have a sorta "representative" for people who are just new or not that good at chess. Her questions and mistakes in analysis makes the game even clearer to understand since GM Hess answers and corrects her. Even in prestigious tournaments like the Skilling Open or Opera Euro Rapid, one of their hosts is an inexperienced chess player yet a good commentator which is Kaja Snare.
I think it's because she was outspoken during PogChamps 2 about the sexist toxicity she experienced from many in the chess community while she was learning. The hating you're reading here might be a more "plausibly deniable" version of that. "Oh, it's not because she's a girl..." Yeah, right.
agreed!!
I laugh so hard when QT mention blaming the coach like blaming the jungle in league and Hess reaction is just priceless
Wait, is qt legitimately a wgm?
Sardoche with the double choke bruh
Definitely the two games of the tournament so far and love her or hate on her (i love her), QTCinderella helps add to the drama! Love this video! Go Benjy!! 🇬🇧
BENJY THE GOAT LETS GO BROOOO
Can we talk about how ugly Cinderella’s voice is
why would you spoil the result in the thumbnail? sadge
this video shows the hugh difference between GM and WGM
why are the commentators so awkward??
Sardoche threw that second game in the dumpster.
Qt, give us Junglers a break. We get enough flame as is.
They did benjy dirty with his picture
Wanted to see the match, saw cinderella is commenting, closed youtube
Clickbait
Man Cinderella is really annoying
Benjy had his king fully boxed shit on!!! 5:20
Benjyfischer
Good video. Would be even better if you didn't spoil the winner in the title
Maybe Sardoche just pumped his elo ... a 1450 should not miss a mate like that
I don't know. Under such pressure, anything can happen. If only he'd taken 30 more seconds to think about this move
If you check his first matches in pogchamps he was like 1200, he is grinding in between the matches.
its cool to see, they played seriously and respected the game, love it
Almost went all in on Sardoche saved myself
I'm nervius about this 3:46 benjy fishy cam cutted off
6:05 "It hurts its not like league of legends you can blame your jungler" Lmaooooooo
I literally cried when Sardoche was defeated T_T
These foreheads are really good at chess !
holy shit when they said best chess match i thought for sure it was going to armageddon on the second game when sardoche was 2 moves from forced checkmate but instead he blundered the Queen and Benjy takes it 2-0!
I really enjoy Hess commentary
QTCiterella does not seem invested or interested in chess but now tries hard to express her opinion about the moves since she's the commentator and has to. I don't mind if the commentator is not GM or IM but can neutrally express what they feel about the moves at least ( Like Ludwig or Northernlion). Does anyone feel the same or it's just me?
"QT was actually a great host. I was watching a lot of yesterday live, and was finding Hess and QT's back and forth hilarious. People need to chill, it's Pogchamps, not a world title tournament. QT fits for hosting this type of event and was funny and doesn't take herself too serious, and Hess is a naturally funny guy who can go along with a joke and ofcourse brings the expertise was a wonderful balance. The organsizers of Pgchamps are doing a brilliant job at the variety of the hosts, sometimes GM & GM and sometimes just a fellow fan of Pogchamps who gives the perspective of the average viewer along with an IM/GM ." This is from another comment
she literally played in the last pogchamps and willingly offered to be a commentator lmao, why would anyone do that if they're not interested?
I think QT is good for some laughs but as you said isnt that great in the chess aspect. The perfect lineup for me is one IM or GM to explain more difficult lines and someone like ludwig who has some good chess imput and is funny at the same time
Wow GGs. Robert looks like Kyle Mooney from GoodNeighborStuff/ Saturday Night Live BTW. sounds like him too lol
6:07 Made me laugh
my least fav match.. very sadge
Wow. Feels like I just watched some boxing. Close matches and boom. The joy and tragedy. Amazing!!
What a tearjerker ending, jesus. And he is a fortnite kid? Great games.
10:55 OH OHH HE BLUNDERD THE QUEEN
This was the most intense match I've seen in pogchamps. Both played really well
Ouch ! I really feel for Sardoche. On the plus side, he'll learn from that mistake.
qtcinderella tearing it up
two best players in tourney right here
Why is the girl comentating? She's so anoying, knows nothing about chess and just throws shade left and right. Please bring back Anna Rudolf!
Malder
Mark this one: Charlie will win pogchamps
Replace Charlie by Sardoche and it’s gonna be accurate
Don't forget Rainn Wilson
I got three people I think has a good chance, benjy, Ludwig and sardoche
The female commentator was like nails on a chalkboard.
If I knew WGM QTCinderella and GM Hess would be commentators I would've watched live.
Coạched by mvl and stuff..
He isn’t coached by MVL, he mentioned in the interview afterwards that MVL does not have time to coach him at the moment because there is another tournament he is participating in, one caster made a mistake
30 good moves can't undo 1 bad.
qtc sounds Irish
Hess did really well with QTCinderella, I can imagine other commentators (Rensch) who would have absolutely no chemistry with her.
She adds to the drama. I like her and thinks she’s pretty smart and confident.
@Haribo_player-too It's not about him being nice, I just don't think he would be able to play off of her humour very well, maybe it's a generation thing.
@Haribo_player-too she like 900
@Haribo_player-too ya was a joke
GrownUpGaming Really ? I don't know her and I thought it was marked "WGM" beside her name, idk if it was a troll. Ok then
QT and Hess Commentator Combo is great. probably my favorite pair of commentators in the whole tournament.
benjy got called 12 lol
is the girl actually a wgm ?
no
I didn’t know ludwig’s Roommate is a WGM
@Casper2002 bruh
@Casper2002 It isnt, you need a rating of over 2300
Yeah it's pretty easy to get nowadays apparently, she doesn't even play that often
What is Sardoche on? He looks way too fidgety. Nobody is that stressed, that often, naturally.
@P Smitty @P no it's not that. He's a streamer that streams a lot (13hours a day or more). He wasn't supposed to play that much chess but he was tired of playing his usual games because people were stream sniping him. So he went like full chess, and since he really likes chess, that's it. It's not only about the pogchamps, he just likes playing a lot
I think he's just really bad at hiding his emotions. He was fine when he was playing and when he lost of course he was really sad (because he literally gave him the win) which is a normal reaction lol
He's someone who's passionate and commits fully to the things he's doing, whether it'd be chess, League of Legends or even Rocket League, to the point where it can become an unhealthy obsession sometimes.
Knowing sardoche's streams, he's the type of player that is ultra-competitive and will grind hours and hours without getting satisfied and when he does mistakes like this he will probably blame himself for the entire night. His worst ennemy is basically himself at this point, Benjy wasn't satisfied with this victory either
I'm french so I know that he's often stressed like this, in my opinion he takes games too seriously sometimes
best hosts ever too
Amazing match
why did you have to put spoilers in the thumbnail? :(
@Mabe being maniac in your sense of the word means being crazy. What's crazy (in subjective matters) is defined by what the majority of the people believe. So in this case the vast majority of people deems spoilers as bad so by definition you're the maniac. Also I know of that study. But it is irrelevant since it is a subjective matter, so what matters is what the person thinks the person prefers not what it actually prefers. People dont want to be spoilered it's as simple as that. And if you're a content provider you should cater to your audience thus avoiding spoilers. In reality i feel bad when i get spoilered. And it will factor into my approval of a content provider. And that applies to the vast majority of people. So think of the bigger picture.
@LazloBeats It’s proven that you will enjoy more a story when you know the end. I’m not joking, that’s why people being paranoid over « spoilers » is ridiculous to me, you look like maniacs
For me personally it wasn’t a spoiler because I had already watched Hikaru’s video reviewing the game. I can see how it could be annoying though
@Miguel G ok well then I guess you live in a different reality than 99% of people.
@LazloBeats right, spoilers are nonsense. if something is enjoyable by its own there is no need to want everything to be a "surprise". it's like saying star wars is spoiled because everyone knows the twist
I really enjoyed this match didn't think it would be 2-0 but better luck next time for Sardoche
thanks for the spoiler
On verra
@GrownUpGaming ofc he will
dude sardoche will still win the tourney
anyone else bothered by the spoilers in titles and thumbnails?
@Scrub Five thumbnail
" the best match so far" i dont see a spoiler here.
They upload the streams in full so you can watch that on this very KGcode channel
@Loops its fine i know most people just watch streams
@robbe spel Ok
pleaaaaase stop spoiling the result in the title or tumbnail
Agreed
@Johnathan Roth then they wouldn't want it spoiled either
@Illuminati Some may not have watched the entire stream, so they come here to watch this match.
@Johnathan Roth umm not sure what you're train of thought it but people who have seen the stream probably wouldn't watch this, they've already seen the entire match. Highlights are meant for those who didn't catch the stream /don't have time to watch the entire match
@robbe spel I'm saying they're expecting people from the livestream to watch this; however, I also see where you're coming from, but still it's not that big of a deal.
I like the commentators. They balance one another. Entertaining and not too nerdy.
Hess was born to be a commentator. being GM in chess is just his side job
yes! great combination
Yeah Robert is surprisingly charismatic, when I saw him commentating with QT I was worried it might be awkward, but Robert is a great commentator
Can't spell Chess without Hess
@R M Kappa
@R M ‘’BOI THATS CAP” - Souljaboy 2020
Can't spell Hess without Chess
@Danny May ludwig said it in the wikipedia speedrun vid
Thumbs up for originality !
Benjy 1200 in 2 month .. this kid is already a god on fortnite so i'm not impressed at all ..
@yan mar Sardoche has been playing chess for more than a month on his cannel, with private sessions coached by an approximate 2700 elo on chesscom and regularly... And the first opponent who isn't 600 elo below him beats him lmao
@yan mar Sardoche had already played 1.000 games and was above 1.200 a month ago. You can just check his account to see his progression. It's impressive and he is grinding very hard but you are exaggerating a lot
Sardoche went from 800 to 1k5 in two weeks but yes both are very impressing. Idk maybe benjy is more talented bc idk how many hours he put in chess but sardoche did multiple 18h chess streams.
Sardouche
QT and Hess Combination is Great. 👍
Finally a Match Worth Watching. No more Gladiator vs Kids. 🤷♀️
lol
10:54 the meter just DROPS
you could see his heart break at that very moment LOL. Poor sardoche it's like he got inted by his JG but his jg is just himself :(.
Someone needs to make one of those baka mitai videos with this
baka mitai moment
Never thought I would hear Hess call a girl cutie...
Hahah underrated.
QT was actually a great host. I was watching a lot of yesterday live, and was finding Hess and QT's back and forth hilarious. People need to chill, it's Pogchamps, not a world title tournament. QT fits for hosting this type of event and was funny and doesn't take herself too serious, and Hess is a naturally funny guy who can go along with a joke and ofcourse brings the expertise was a wonderful balance. The organsizers of Pgchamps are doing a brilliant job at the variety of the hosts, sometimes GM & GM and sometimes just a fellow fan of Pogchamps who gives the perspective of the average viewer along with an IM/GM .
@kit everyone has different sets of expectations based of their experiences. i was merely stating my opinion. u can have ur own idc.
@jessica wu im not talking about whats reasonable im talking about whats expected
@kit i’d think that especially for a large event, they’d pay for some mods, not for small streams. that wouldn’t make sense
@jessica wu twitch mods are unpaid, im guessing for an event like this theyd need paid mods which is a lot to expect of them tbh
@kit yeahh but there are def ways to reduce it more, at least compared to the other chats ive seen. it literally feels like they have zero mods monitoring lmao
Ah yes the match that took my points
It's always 2-0 lmao. You guys need to find a better way to set up these matches.
Commentators and chess GM such as Hikaru and Hammer basically said that the 2-0 score-line wasn't representative at all, Benjy thought he would have to go the 3rd game. It was probably the closest set of the tournament so far so you probably take the worst example possible lmao
just wait until later in the tournament
this one was well balanced
how should it be set up then? 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨
This one was actually pretty even, just sad blunders at the end.
just build lol
Poor Sardoche
Benji is so fucking good man he is a genius
Indeed he played very well but the second match is mostly lucky
Qt's WGM title is a meme right?
@Maximilian Schweitzer if you were a WGM I think you would have some better perspective.
She's 800
issue is I dont really know her apart from being ludwigs gf so i assumed that she was actually a WGM, kinda misleading
@Big Shoe assuming someone is offended and assuming someone might get offended are 2 very different things. Either way i did neither of those things so try again
@TheAdeptAssassin Assuming someone is offended is just as bad.

Never thought a fortnite kid could do that
@Divine's Legacy no
@GuestOfNavy you don’t play fortnite if you think that, you have to know piece control, how to play the grid, precise movement, fast reaction time, muscle memory, predict the enemies next move. It’s more than just aiming and shooting bud.
@Aze Nutella he is right though, fortnite is like chess in a way, with the grid theme, you have to predict movements and have precise aim, you have to play the grid and trap your opponent, fortnite is one of the most mentally demanding games for sure.
@Critiq yes
says the kid that plays brawl starts lmfao
Oh my God what a blunder it's hard to mess up that bad, he should've waited just a little
@Austin Smith *f7 to f6, but yeah I agree about the false sense of security or confidence.
I think Benjy blundering first by not moving his pawn from G7 to G8 to avoid the check kinda lulled Sardoche into forgetting the queen on the opposite side of the board. Still a blunder by Sardoche, but I can see it
No way that Benjy's winning right? Oh wait he actually won
@Casper true man
Honeslty im quite suprised at how talented he is, definitely got ways in his life
Day 45 of trying to get famous by commenting
Today's the day.
benjy did very good!
second :(
