Thanks for stopping by everyone. Couple of things I'd like to share with you: Firstly, the official petition to make knife crime prevention a compulsory requirement for all (UK) school curriculum (endorsed by the James Brindley foundation - a charity very close to my heart) is ALMOST at 10,000 signatures. We're just a couple of hundred off! It would mean the world to my old mate Jim's family if we could get this over the 10k mark and force the Government to listen. Here is the link: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/634860 Secondly, our good friend Ben Cook (Dribbling Britain + Running across Wales in a day) has just completed a pretty damn impressive run of his own up in the North East, raising money for Russ Cook's running Charity. Check it out here: www.justgiving.com/page/metrothon Thanks everyone for hearing me out and especially to those who have signed or donated. Have a great weekend one and all 💪
Tom is a geoguessr legend. All the pros know of him and a lot of them are fans. Maybe Tom's not the greatest in the world, but he has managed to popularize this game so much.
this exactly! It's so nice how Zigzag himself opened his version of this video up by saying that his yt channel would probably not exist without Geowizard and how Tom inspired him to get into Geoguessr in the first place. He inspired me too and so many other people, Tom is the real OG
So many players got into the game through GeoWizard until Rainbolt came along, and he's still one of the names everyone knows in the community. I remember one day back in ~2020 having a conversation with another geo player and I think it was about GeoWizard, and they brought up how they thought they were about at GeoWizard's level now, which made me realize that hey, I might be better than GeoWizard too, and that was a wild thought. (He's still way better than me at vibes.)
@@luislopes7593 hate to tell you but thats how top players are so good. they know signs, road marks, poles, car details that help narrow down countries really fast
@@Chillidog0 yeah. Honestly maybe it'd be more fun if you'd get another player who plays more like Tom. Less metadata and more vibes. I appreciate the skill of Zigzag but for me it's less fun to see it being played this way
@@cheeseyasscheek9186that's a really good comparison actually, both were early adopters who helped nurture a popularity boom. Both eventually eclipsed in skill by many younger skaters who look up to them.
@@lunamotocross knowing all the little details, that are either unique to a country, or even specific for google images of that country. Like knowing that Northern Nigeria has bad image quality. Or knowing where in Kenia which car is driving around.

I love how zi8 always explains his guesses. Instructive and entertaining, loving the content! Tom, between this quality content and the missions your channel truly is one of the greatest on RUclips.
I kinda like that Tom doesn't want to learn the meta. It reminds me of my father who hikes a lot and sternly refuses to use a GPS cus it would take away the fun of reading the map and terrain for him. There is a certain purity to it.
This is why I watch Tom regularly and I watch the other guys on occasion. Metadata is boring. Don't get me wrong, it's wildly impressive what the other guys do, but the way Tom plays is fun and entertaining to watch
For anyone curious, the *point totals* Tom: 261268 Oscar: 383300 That's a ratio of ~ 3:2 in favor of Oscar, which is interesting because their rounds won (22:78) is a ratio of ~7:2 Their *average points per game* Tom: 13063.4 Oscar: 19165 Their *average points per round* Tom: 2612.68 Oscar: 3833
really enjoyed the talk between rounds of what got both of you to where you picked, really insightful stuff. and this is coming from someone who mostly just watched the straight line mission-related stuff and is getting more and more into this side of your channel as of late. loving all the stuff :^)
So grateful for an interaction like this :) I am secretly hoping Tom will show up in Stockholm next month, on stream or in person. Not the best geoguessr player by far, but still the Godfather of the game.
Oscar came across really well in this video. Really enjoyed this long video Tom and would love to see more videos like this and also with other good players. Keep it up Tom I really like all your content.
@@Ran-tan-tan im Not talking about the Definition of editing. Im talking about His Statement. Saying its Well edited. The only Thing that has been done is Putting the Clips together which is the bare Minimum. That Being Said im also Not criticising Wizard for that because it works perfectly for His Style of videos. But the Statement that it is Well edited is Just Not correct
Clicked on this video then I saw how long it was and thought I would just watch a bit... An hour later and I'm still here! Great content; thanks to you both! You did great Tom but honestly it is also great to see your sportsmanship in this video. You're genuinely impressed with z8s performance (as are the rest of us watching I'm sure) and similar to your attitude in your straight line challenge videos it is just great to see your positive outlook
Mate love your geoguessr content was the reason I subbed to the channel way back when. The missions are a bonus, but this stuff hits different. Keep at it lad congrats on the growth 🌏🌏
This was so fun to watch! Tom is just incredibly impressive, quite literally as good as anyone could ever get without learning the meta stuff. And zig8zag is crazy impressive as well, obviously. Speaking about meta and if anyone is reading this two months after this video was posted (lmao), another tip for Zürich: as they pointed out, you can see German on the sign, and even if you don't pick up on the 'rich vibes', you can also see that the license plate on the car doesn't have the blue (blurred, obvs) stripe on the left that indicates an EU country - meaning it's Switzerland.
Absolutely fantastic video! Bouncing knowledge off each other such a humble and competitive game, keep up the great work Tom and Oscar! I really enjoyed!
Really enjoyed this.. Love the fast paced battles but also that the videos isn't mega short so it makes a good watch.. Plus the other guy seems really nice and humble
Dream come true, my two favourite youtubers in one video! Loved the whole thing and it brought a lot of smiles to my face. You both stand out with your positive attitude and your videos always brigthen my day. Keep it up!
Love this! I'm not a geoguessr player and didn't click on this video first time when I saw it (more like a fan of Tom and the knowledge, than the competition of geoguessr), but then I had some time and enjoyed it more than I expected. Well done both of you! Great editing too, to shorten it
Great video, looking forward to more of you two :) Love it when you sprinkle your little pieces of knowledge in, my brain goes "hmm sure I will now remember this for the next time I play" and of course immediately discarding the info, but it's just so neat!
Really entertaining watch! Just goes to show the difference between the players that play semi casually and players who play professionally and know every meta of the game. Was great to hear some of Oscar’s reasoning behind certain guesses. Also, would be amazing to make this a series!
Woooo! What an amazing video. I watched the entire hour with no skipping. It's so heartwarming to see these masters of their crafts that were inspired by you come back to battle it out with you.
man this collaboration is coated!!!! OG Geowiz fan since before face cam some 6-7 years ago. been watching zig for at least a year. as an Aussie this was beautiful. just missed having an Aus round!
one of the best gg videos mate, not only u were awesome but the random dude i have never heard about in me life had an awesome vibe about him, hopefully ull make more vids 2gether(so he can couch u)(i i have no idea how 2 spell it but ive meant training)
That was a lot of fun to watch! I wonder how many people in general learned about Geoguessr from watching Tom. I'm not very good at it, but I've been hooked on it since the first time I watched one of his videos four or five years ago.
Very wholesome! If you do collabs in the future, I feel like the video would be better paced if you only unmuted after the 5th round and talked it through a bit longer. Unless there's some crazy guess that has to be discussed immediately :)
Lol the Finland round!! Skanska is a Swedish construction company and it's really big in Finland as well. My father operates a tower crane for Skanska.
for me it isnt really about being the best player, just watching Tom does it for me. Hes the content, not the game. He's just a funny guy whos amazing at geography. In his prime or not, Tom is top tier. The adventures are the real cherry on top. Been watching him for years.
Its so fun to see these kinda games, you guys skipping over basics like guessing zig not guessing next to water on the Faroe when there clearly is water, and you guessing in the greens when its a desert on Kenya, but also picking up on minor things I'd NEVER think of like the buddha statue specific to the island.
For that early Auckland round, I only knew it wasn't US because the cars were parked on the left side of the road. Would be really unusual here. Awesome video, you too. Going to have to watch the rest later on.
Yeah seems like what side of road cars are on and facing would be the first thing used to narrow down choices. Oscar should have mentioned it and laughed
Excellent video. NMPZ with 10 second rounds is honestly more enjoyable than regular modes for me since there's a lot of tension and we get to see more places at a quicker pace. Loved the back-and-forth commentary as well.
Saw the thumbnail and immediately thought this guy looked like F1 driver Oscar Piastri. Has a similar voice and same name as well which is amusing. Great collab though!

Thank you in advance anyone who donates. And also from me, please get that petition signed! 🙏🏼
props to you tom for using your platform to advocate for good causes!
Petition signed and confirmed as many times as I currently have email addresses. Donations coming pay day. Such good causes mate. Top man
i would sign but only citizens of britain can sign it (i mean pretty obviously)

I just love how Tom has inspired a lot of really good and popular players.
Tom might not be the best anymore, but he'll always be the OG
@@RobinClowerHe also plays 'old school geoguesser' which is more entertaining for viewers. And Tom's personality is top tier.
Yeah, RAINBOLT has said multiple times in his videos that GeoWizard really paved the way for all of this passion for Geoguessr and i completely agree
he’s like the tony hawk of geoguessr

A collab between two of my favorite Geoguessr players. They both seem so genuine and kind. Love to see it.
I love how zi8 always explains his guesses. Instructive and entertaining, loving the content!
Tom, between this quality content and the missions your channel truly is one of the greatest on RUclips.
I think if Tom learned more of the meta, he could definitely be among the top players in the world. His ‘vibes’ game is very consistent.
I think he's said in the past he doesn't wanna learn loads of meta cuz it doesn't make it as fun anymore
I kinda like that Tom doesn't want to learn the meta. It reminds me of my father who hikes a lot and sternly refuses to use a GPS cus it would take away the fun of reading the map and terrain for him. There is a certain purity to it.
Learning differences in sign posts and bollards is for deathly boring people
@@nicholaswoollhead6830 so true. legend stuff

I absolutely love how you both learn from eachother when the other is closer, it’s really respectable
A lot of fun watching this one.
I would love seeing more of Zig, or other pro GeoGuesser guest appearances. Great fun and well played by both of you.
Good grief my own road popped up in round 5, that's trippy

Finally! The collab we have been waiting for
That was brilliant. I love how the student has overtaken the master...
Tom you're a legend, thank you for this content!
Really enjoyed this format, especially the switching back and forth of perspectives!
This was incredibly entertaining! I'd love if you did more videos like this with competitions against other players
we need more! i the editing with showing both points of view during the rounds was excellent

So enjoyable to see you play against such a humble pro. Could get used to this kind of vids!!
This is so entertaining to watch, you guys are amazing. I love geo wizard’s content Tom is the best
Super stoked to see this in my feed. Really was amazing to watch.
This was an excellent video! Watched in one sitting.

First! Brilliant! Been waiting so long for this to happen!

For that early Auckland round, I only knew it wasn't US because the cars were parked on the left side of the road. Would be really unusual here. Awesome video, you too. Going to have to watch the rest later on.

Good games. PS, I love it when you explain why you make guesses that you do.
Would love more of these videos! Great stuff!
You're a real one, going up against top players, being humble, and having fun.
Great to have an hour-long video! Thanks for the fun times!
I really enjoyed this guys! Your comeraderie was spectacular. I look forward to more like this!
That was great. I'd love to see you do more fun colabs like this
That was fun to watch. Would definitely watch more of those.
love that geoguesser videos are coming thick and fast. 100 rounds is crazy

Would love to see more of these. Enjoyed the video as always
Loved this so much!! It’s incredible how consistent Zig is in his guesses
