the chess redemption arc goes hard 🔥
Why'd you edit tho👀
hello, chess
Yo that's wild
I’m more of a checkers man myself
Yooo hello chess
I love how most fans go "It's okay even if you lose some, we still love you", but Connor's fans are basically "It's okay even if you win some"
That's so precise, i can't!)))
im not, idc if he wins ill still watch him

To the legend who is probably editing three days of FF7 as we speak: We see you. We love you. Keep up the great work!
True, Mudan and his team are insane
nice pfp ! im rereading eyeshield 21 rn
Connor really had to win like a villain after being the canonical villain the whole series
Obviously also Frank being the hero makes so much sense
This is like the prequel to the timeskip arc

yup o7
Yep. I love how every game there's a chat poll in the corner for "Will connor choke and lose?" XD
o7
forever and ever o7
Can't believe Connor would steal a family vacation from a minor 😔
He also took his dignity because Frank is a chess streamer
oh wait till u see the things I steal from minors

Like ice lollies?
Classic british move, which is ironic because they're both british
Damn..
From ChokeDawgVA to ChadDawgVa
Truly an inspiring moment

seems like the tiger (garnt) managed to whip the dragon (cannur) back into shape.

i will never get over how real "he's somewhere deep in his mind palace" followed by spinning monkeys was
54:17 Conner was very nervous because he really wanted to Win this because he sacrificed so much just to go to LA (having to leave a TrashTaste episode early just to make his flight)
was it the sally episode? that episode got me rolling
Connor is like the really cool silver haired dude that joins the tournament and destroys the main cast in the first arc so that they have a reason to get stronger and make a comeback in the second arc.
I feel like it's the opposite. Bro is the guy who choked all his life and won at the end.
To be fair, a lot of silver haired dudes have a reason for their behavior in the tournament arc.
@@Devilboy_1029He's Kuma. Background of loss, helps MC develop in one last act of heroism.
Yeah. He's the villain, but the one who genuinely wants the protagonist to improve so that he can have a worthy opponent in the future.
right? i reckon in the future frank will eventually surpass connor as he keeps training, and connor doesn't
Connor gave the protagonist that doesn’t wanna win cause he just wants to go back to sleep, but the story has another idea for him
it really feels like Anime lmao
Also look its Emma from clips
@@troodssbonjour
When TeamFourStar did a Nuzlocke for Sun/Moon release: that was the gimmick for their character, Larenti. Since their DS was in Japan Time.
And since the game starts with the Mom waking them at 3 AM right after they moved to Alola; the entire thing is that Larenti is miserable, and jet lagged and just wants to get some goddamn sleep but is roped into a cosmic adventure with Island Gods
Fun fact: there's a name for this rare trope: "The Refusal of the Call." My favorite example comes from Fairy Fencer F where the protag is given any wish that must be granted and he literally just wishes for a lifetime of bread and wants to STAY in prison because it has everything he needs.
@@TheDancerMacabre😢
This could of easily been a main channel video. It was super interesting and funny all the way through, congrats on the w Conner.
tbf it feels like connordawg is the main channel nowadays
I don't think there's a main channel anymore just one for japan content and this one for the other stuff
all of the twotch stuff are here broski
@@likestosleep225 honestly I somewhat agree. The "main" channel put out much less content this year, only 13 videos compared to 2022's 21 videos, and *5* of this years 13 videos were crane game videos, two of which were back to back. Considering the lower output and less variety when compared to previous years, it kinda feels like Connor's planning to slowly retire that channel and make this one the main one.
Ludwig predicting Connor’s move was hilarious lmaoooo.
They just both see it differently.
58:22
Although I love the fact our boi finally got a W, I wouldn't be mad if he had choked in the finals since the first matchup with Frank was just disrespectful (he literally started playing with a colorbook) and Frank's redemption in the final would have been epic as well
🤣 also when he was drinking "wine" was hilarious
The constant panic in the chess commentator's voices is so funny to me. Just "Ah, yes, this would be the best move, surely, they'll go for it-NO WHY?! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
It's so funny how they sit there, so focused and Connor is just vigorously scratching his mustache 😂😂😂
The only thing more impressive than Connor blundering his way to victory was Ludwig calling that bishop move
ChokeDawgVA will forever be immortalized with the Jump King clip 😂
i love the sheer excitement in the commentators’ voices. the editing makes it look like every time they move a piece everyone loses their minds and i’m here for it
Didnt know you could edit chess so good, that the game starts feeling casual even for nooby like me. Very enjoyable video.
Damn, that blunder by frank was actually heartbreaking
Does frank have autism?
Not trying to be rude, genuinely curious.
why did I want frank to win so badly?
@@Hannah_The_Heretic Nah just British
@@tablerelliott1886💀
@@shadowkyuni think most people did ngl
The "VA stands for Virginia because that's where he was born" got me good
Connor was actually born in Virginia in Wales
Friendship ended with ChokeDawgVA. ChadDawgVA is our friend now.
but he'll always be ChokeDawgVA in our heart, the beloved monke
2:11 «Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer» flashback. Congratulations with the win! This is a start of a Monke redemption arc!
I was looking for this comment, I love Darkest Dungeon ❤
54:50 is such a moment
58:20 is one of my fav moments ever like what a comeback
A guy yelled "Witness me, baby" at a chess game. That was awesome. XD
I love any chess tourney where somebody actually screams "WITNESS ME!"
With commentators like that even a chess game has become so interesting! Here's to our little pogchamp 👏
really? i find them wildly annoying ... i was just diving into the comments to see if it wasn't just me...
@@mullaoslo Just you
@@yashchauhan1556 it happens.. They are wildly annoying though
@@mullaoslonah thats just you, i loved them, sometimes people have bad taste no need to be ashamed
@@mullaoslo having a 2000 rating, the commentary does nothing for me chesswise, and a number of jokes fall flat/sound normie to me. so I guess I somewhat agree. but honestly I don't mind it that much, and understand how they can be appreciated by others.
55:28 Connor was so nervous remembering this game he said "chessmate" 😭😭
"only one move you can make" bro you are a villian 😭
The chess commentator in the first round perpetuating the meme of "the VA in CdawgVA means Virginia" was awesome.
Can I just say, Connor winning that clutch game with a stupid gimmicky tactice is THE MOST chess way for this whole arc to end. Chess games are 90% tactics and positions and 10% blunders and the worst tactics youve ever seen that still somehow work. Beautiful.
I never feel more monkey brain than when chess bros start throwing around opening names.
Holy, that was entertaining. I sat through the entire video, with a lean forward and it felt like 20 mins. My eyes widened up when I saw that was over an 1 hour, lol. Congrats on Your win, Connor!
When you choke so hard you will permanently get a nickname because of it
He finally took a W, cool man, you still ChokeDawg in our hearts
Cdawg proving that the subject doesn't matter as long as the presentation and storytelling is good. Y'know, the opposite of what all modern movie making is about.
I would reeeally enjoy more chess content from Connor! Not that I dislike other content but this is a nice change of pace.
Absolutely, it was really cool to see him pursuing this kind of competitive goal.
Love the video and the redemption arc to solidify his powerful villain persona.
Beating an opponent in the beginning only for the same opponent to climb his way back to the final and face him off once again? Frank is the hero in this one, but Connor didn't choke this time.
Love the edits as well.
I know absolutely nothing about chess, no idea about the rules or how the figures move. The video didn't teach me anything in that regard (as in: I don't care enough to learn anyway), but the storytelling of the video was captivating either way??? Like man, I got really hyped up to see our boy win
There is a phenomenon where skilled chess players can lose against new players because they are used to seeing high skill plays and are prepared to counter them, but are completely flabbergasted by the nonsensical moves of a newer player and their preparation is turned against them.
Magnus Carlson often does inoptimal moves specifically to force opponents out of their practiced moves and make them actually play the game as a matter of skill, where he tends to excel and his opponents tend to be out of their comfort zone.
Anyways that’s why I think Connor had a harder time than expected on the first matchup.
I used to do this to my ex boyfriend haha he was a great chess player and would just list of the names, told him I’d practiced a lot but I understood none of it I’d just play nonsensical moves and he’d get rlly hyped when some of them were good plays hahaha
Sykkuno does this to many professional gamers lmao, he trolls and is unreadable
I love how hyped Levy was, made me hype as well watching the video
As not everyone plays chess, the explanation is very appreciated.
Congrats on the W ma dude
59:10 Ludwig cheering for Conner was hype af 😂
“It was lovely getting to speak to him and his mom”
A blunder doesn't matter in chess as long as your opponent doesn't utilize it. 👍
Its honestly very nice and heartwarming to see all these people be so excited about something i absolutely have no idea about. Its like them freaking out and cheering and im like aww thats really awesome also i have no idea what these guys are talking about
This anime goes so hard! One of the best redemption arcs out there especially the final match well done connor.
Watching these matches live was so much fun, that ludwig prediction was crazy too lmao
1:10:58 "it was lovely to speak to him and his mum"
NO CONNOR NOOO
This isnt a redemption arc, this is simply Connor deciding to not go easy on his opponents anymore 😂
this is his get real moment
55:28. He did it guys he found the chessmate
I actually wasn't spoiled so this was a real surprise. Good freaking job
Damn even from the title? 😂
@@patmarie4452 lol didn't read
what will you do with 20000 dollars?
frank: ima buy my family a holiday (:
connor: i dont care about the money i just wanna win
I'm so proud of our Monke!!!!! What awesome games!!! Congratulations for the W!
I love how the chess commentators get so surprised whenever something competent happens.
Very entertaining, did not feel like an hour long vid and congrats to CDawg for not choking.
That bishop sack for fork is literally the Samurai Champloo "there is only one move I can make, it leaves me open for a hit, but it creates an opening for me to hit them at the same time."
Congratulstions connor.
It was really nice actually being excited over chess and seeing you get that dub :) it was well earned
What a character development he went through, also it was rally fun to talk with him and his mom? Huh?!
They said Frank was a minor i think.
That was a really good arc, really. But don't worry you will always be our ChokeDawgVA
I'm not one to like chess, I honestly hated it, but I realized it's not just a game, it's more of a community. Well deserved Connor! 👏
Well played Connor
Also, love the editing style
that bishop move was one of desperation but MAN did it pay off. congrats on the win!
More nerve-wracking than "The Queen´s Gambit" ... that was epic, well deserved Connor, huge respect!
I have recently started learning chess. It's so damn difficult. Looking forward to this one.
Turns out CDawg was the protagonist all along, it was just an extended arc.
frank is such a gentleman for reminding connor of the timer
If Connor was a Main Character in a greek tragedy, his fatal flaw would definitely be hubris lol.
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a full hour video, if I have it’s been years. Very entertaining storytelling :D
this is such a cool mix of things in one vid im totally diggin it! the clips the memes and connlers vlogs! congrats again connler im glad u didnt choke this time
Genius editing! I loved it!
This was pretty epic to watch, ngl. Connor in tournaments is kinda fun.
I hope he will make more chess content. Love this video!
Watching this makes me want 2 play chess again! Gratz on the championship!
"Remind yourself that overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer."
"...and you will learn from it."
YESSSS I've waited for this video to come out for so long, MONKE POGCHAMP CHAMPION!!!
55:28 ah yes the commonly known chestmate.
55:25 Connor finding chessmate in the nick of time poggers
This was so entertaining :) Congrats Connor!
Beautiful last games. Very human mistakes, loved it! Great sportsmanship as well.
Ngl, the title says he won, but i was still expecting him to choke at the end
The En passant was legendary!
just to make it clear Connor did choke, it's just that Frank choked even harder that's why Connor won
Absolutely sick video wth it was so entertaining
Does that commentator still think that the VA in his name stands for Virginia? I sure hope so.
He doesn't actually think that. He was trolling...he does that sometimes.
@@noox13 I think he meant the woman :D
levy was definitely trolling lmao
I was watching this video when I get accepted into my dream school! Thanks Connor
Congratulations!!
I knew about you from your interactions with Ironmouse, and I've been hooked ever since. It was hard to see Frank lose, but at the same time I was happy to see someone I enjoy watching winning the whole tournament.
I sense iconic video, those books bits are legendary
"This is what happens when you trust your opponent" is my fav commentator phrase from this entire video HAHAHAHA
2:06 I see Connor has already forgotten the overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.
I thought playing in Magic the Gathering Grand Prix's was intense - Connor's chess game brings chess to another level of exciting! Certainly is a big difference between competing online vs. in person, especially if you can't doodle in a coloring book between turns. Great job winning, hope you have some spicy plans for the moolah : )
The start got me like: „Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer”
Saikuno is a gift, that keeps on giving
That was incredible play by Connor
Was rooting for you and Papaplatte (goofy individual btw) glad you were able to pull through and get the dub
Imaging working at the airport, not knowing what chess or pog really is, and pulling out that "weird" statue from his package
I'm pretty sure he said "chess mate" instead of checkmate somewhere in the end. 55:30 😂
