As a writer on this match and also a huge fan of MTS and all 4 competitors, this was an absolute joy to watch and be a part of in some small way. Congrats to my friend Kevin on the awesome victory, and hats off for the dominant performances of all 4 competitors 😃😃🎊🎊🎉🎉
*Kristian in rd. 1* Rocha: "What is happening?" Kristian: "I'll tell ya what's happening; no sleep, 2 kids, and dealing with you!" Absolutely hilarious, a highlight of my day is rd. 1 Kristian
I love the Schmoedown and being a patron is something that i'll never regret because this thing is beyond worth the price of admission so thank you Kristian & Ellis for creating this fantastic sport
This was amazing! First off, big credits to all 6 men in the video (and everyone working on it behind the scenes). This was not just a great exhibition match, this was a great match period. Then I'm gonna second what a few others have said, this should be an annual exhibition event Kristian! A yearly battle between the champions. PS: I was absolutely rooting for Damon and I think based on both his and Smets' performances here they should strongly consider playing Teams, I think with a decent teammate they could do very well.
This reminds of the the fatal 5-way between Rachel, Andreyko, Rocha, Sam, and Bibbiani. Truly epic. Thanks for putting this on TH-cam for us fans who can't afford to be patrons, especially in this pandemic. We truly appreciate it. Cheers!
That was just great! Rocha with that pull! A very exciting and competitive match! One thing, this is just out of curiosity...I wonder why they didn't add one or two more Star Wars questions in round one. I know Alex is in the Innergeekdom league, but just to balance all the questions out a bit more. It's such a small thing, but this match was amazing! Thanks Kristian and Mark for still pumping out content to us. Your hard work doesn't go unnoticed and we as fans definitely appreciae it.
This was everything I wanted it to be. What a fantastic match. It was so cool to see Alex & Smets representing SW and IG in against two of the greatest ever, and everyone did really, really well. It was way more balanced than I ever imagined it would be. Thanks so much to everyone for putting out this content in this craziness.
Quarantine or not, this was one of the best matches ever! Dan was great as usual, Rocha with the passion to come back, Damon surprised the heck out of me, and Smets getting a bit of sweet karma. Phenomenal!
What a fun and competitive match that was! This must happen again every year if possible. Props to Nerdchronic too for making this episode look as good as usual in these conditions.
Amazing match. I hope this becomes a yearly occurrence, and maybe after we're allowed to start taping again and getting back to our normal lives, you could even introduce this into the actual league so it counts for something, with some kind of prize at stake for the winning faction.
Wow ... a hellava match! Loving this exhibition match idea ... what a great idea to bridge the gap while we wait for the regular season to resume hopefully in a few months.
Holy crap! That promo at the beginning is FIRE!!!! You need to put that out on it's own! If I wasn't already a patron that promo would have convinced me to join! And the match itself was gold. Exhibition or not, these guys play to win!!
I have always wondered how Kevin would do in singles or teams! I know he spun MCU in round 2 which is an IG strength of his, but he managed some tough pulls in the other rounds! Great job all, this was so much fun.
I mean, fantastic match and everyone was impressive, especially Damon. However, Smets kind of hit the perfect arrangement of strengths, with MCU in the 2nd round and MCU, DC, and Star Wars in the 3rd round. The best thing is that they strategized for it, so that paid off, which means Smets is not only an otherworldly IG player but a wonderful strategist as well. Keep these up Schmoedown
What an entertaining match. Its not the same atmosphere when they aren't all in the same room, but I want to thank the competitors and Mark and Harloff for putting this on for us fans.
I can't believe all four competitors got to their 5 pointers. I don't know if they could ever replicate that. This really couldn't have played out in a more exciting and entertaining way!
Exhibition is definitely the way to go during this, I would love to see matches that count but I don't think it would work on hear. This was a great match!
GREAT MATCH! One thing I will say though is that we need to be able to see the hands of each competitor at all times, in the interest of fairness. Even for the most knowledgable of competitors, the temptation can sometimes be there.
Y'all should auction off the note cards Murrell is writing his answers on, as well as the sheets of paper Rocha & Damon are writing on. ...& bonus points to the Smasher for being the only one with a white board at home.
Great match, hope it becomes an annual thing. Crazy that Smets only got IG questions in round 2 and 3. Perhaps designating one of the rounds to only SW, one to IG and one to singles would ensure a more even playing field, but still an awesome match.
Personally I like it this was, there was an even number of IG and general trivia questions and you don’t know where they would land, which made it pretty dramatic and unpredictable. But your idea has some real possibility to it as well 😃
Awesome match, Damon was awesome only missing 2 questions. And did not get any intergeekdom for his last 3 questions. Damon needs to play in the Team league. He would be a great B player.
This was such a great fun match, absolutely did not go the way I expected. I though Damon would come dead last and he nearly won. Dan coming last is mind blowing and Smets came out of nowhere and won! Also I maintain that Rocha absolutely knew that Goblin answer and was just creating drama. Kristian not knowing the rules was hilarious too
Damon played incredibly! Super surprised by his performance. Also you could tell why Rocha and Murrell are such a great team. Not only do they perform well individually, but they knew each other's misses easily. Smasher what can I say, he's the champ among champs and I'm not surprised he won👌
Outside of the LIVE matches, do the competitors hear their entrance music when they enter or is that edited in? Love the original music for everyone ... David B. is super talented!
What a match.Congrates to everyone who participated and those who put it all together. Shout out to Smets. Knew could do it. If in singles or teams I am always supporting Rocha but when Smasher is involved it's you I support. As always say with The Dungon win lose or draw. And was rewarded today. Great fun. Managed to watch early in morning here in UK before I go to work on frontlines working in pharmacy. A great way to start my day and combat my nerves. I can imagin Kaiser taking this and using t in promos saying Smasher is champion of champions. lol Well better set off. And to all patreons please like this video. It fully deserves it.
So much nuance in the wording of a question. "Who does Phil Brown play in the franchise?" which is hard, but just needs someone to say a Star Wars character. But what if it were "Who plays Uncle Owen in Episode IV?" Much different flavor to that question, much harder and more in line with how Dan's 5 pointer was presented.
Such an honor to play against these three titans, and just a fun match in general! I've gotta hold onto my belt just so I can do this again!
You played incredible Alex as you very often do
A statement performance by the Star Wars champ for sure!
You were incredible Alex! Hope to see you in Singles/Teams one day!!
That was a GREAT performance Alex!
You were awesome Alex! Great pull with that 5 pointer! Roxstars should consider putting you on a team to giving you a singles match!
Dan's face when Rocha guessed gave me so much joy.
"Don't shoot me with my own gun" has to be the quote of the match
Was really impressed with Damon. I honestly thought he was going to be in over his head. Goes to show, don’t underestimate the power of the dark side.
dr01d80 Thanks! Some Singles matches I can hang. Some destroy me. Luck was on my side for this match.
I really dig this format, wouldn’t mind if the regular season continued like this
+Rece
Sadly, I agree.
I miss the studio.

*Kristian in rd. 1*
Rocha: "What is happening?"
Kristian: "I'll tell ya what's happening; no sleep, 2 kids, and dealing with you!"
Absolutely hilarious, a highlight of my day is rd. 1 Kristian
I feel like Sebastian Stan is Kevin Smet's celebrity look alike.
I love the Schmoedown and being a patron is something that i'll never regret because this thing is beyond worth the price of admission so thank you Kristian & Ellis for creating this fantastic sport
This match alone is worth $10. GREAT job guys, in front the camera and behind the camera. Thank you for keeping us entertained.
Jeff Sneider: Inner Geekdom players do not have the movie knowledge that Single League players have!
The Smasher: Hold my beer
Aside from round 1, which was mixed, Smetts got 100% IG questions throughout the entire match.
This was amazing!

It's not the competitors who are rusty, it's Mark and Kristian 😂. Love you guys and this was brilliant.
This reminds of the the fatal 5-way between Rachel, Andreyko, Rocha, Sam, and Bibbiani. Truly epic. Thanks for putting this on TH-cam for us fans who can't afford to be patrons, especially in this pandemic. We truly appreciate it. Cheers!
All 4 Competitors were simply electrifying
That was just great! Rocha with that pull! A very exciting and competitive match!

I love Nerd Chronic's little edits he occasionally puts in :)
Quarantine or not, this was one of the best matches ever! Dan was great as usual, Rocha with the passion to come back, Damon surprised the heck out of me, and Smets getting a bit of sweet karma. Phenomenal!
That Goblin pull by Rocha is one of the biggest pulls ever in the Schmoedown. At the last second too. Wow
Ill be honest, I wasn't sure if this would work out well but it was a blast!
Yeah, wasn't sure what to expect, but it was really entertaining
Great match! I honestly wouldn't mind if the season continues in this format
Anyone who hasn’t seen this yet is in for a real treat.
What a fun and competitive match that was! This must happen again every year if possible. Props to Nerdchronic too for making this episode look as good as usual in these conditions.
Amazing match. I hope this becomes a yearly occurrence, and maybe after we're allowed to start taping again and getting back to our normal lives, you could even introduce this into the actual league so it counts for something, with some kind of prize at stake for the winning faction.
Holy Shit what a great match that was and congrats to my boy The Smasher on a very hard fought victory bro #DUNGEON
Wow ... a hellava match! Loving this exhibition match idea ... what a great idea to bridge the gap while we wait for the regular season to resume hopefully in a few months.
Everyone’s reaction (especially Dan Murrell) when Rocha got that Goblin pull, is what the schmoedown is all about!! Great match!!
Amazing match and thanks to all for this exhibition
Great match, would love a Battle of Champions exhibition to become an annual event
Holy crap! That promo at the beginning is FIRE!!!! You need to put that out on it's own! If I wasn't already a patron that promo would have convinced me to join! And the match itself was gold. Exhibition or not, these guys play to win!!
Great match! If the rest of the exhibition matches are close to good as this, we're in for a treat.
Thanks so much for doing these!
I have always wondered how Kevin would do in singles or teams! I know he spun MCU in round 2 which is an IG strength of his, but he managed some tough pulls in the other rounds! Great job all, this was so much fun.
Barry Humphries is not British. He's Australian.
Kristian and MTSD team, thank you making this available to us plebs. I know it wasn't necessary so I really appreciate it being done.
Smets got all the innergeekdom categories. Wow. I wanted to see him answer more regular questions
This was amazing!!!! Thank you to all involved for doing this, really hit the MTS spot!
That match was ridiculous. Dont mess with the champs. They play very rough
This was amazing!! Thank you everyone involved for making this happen.
Holy! This match was bonkers and then some! So many moments! So much anxiety. GREAT MATCH!!
What an incredible match! A welcome distraction and great production value as always!
I mean, fantastic match and everyone was impressive, especially Damon. However, Smets kind of hit the perfect arrangement of strengths, with MCU in the 2nd round and MCU, DC, and Star Wars in the 3rd round.

Keep these up Schmoedown
Thanks for these expedition matches in our dry spell! Great Idea.
This is great content! Thanks for this!
This truly was awesome. Very impressive showing.
What an entertaining match. Its not the same atmosphere when they aren't all in the same room, but I want to thank the competitors and Mark and Harloff for putting this on for us fans.
49:33 Dan’s reaction was pure joy! Love it
What a great match, and just what I needed. Thanks so much for getting these together!
There needs to be more of these, that was the best I’ve done in a round 1 excluding Star Wars matches
Awesome match! Loved every second.
I can't believe all four competitors got to their 5 pointers. I don't know if they could ever replicate that. This really couldn't have played out in a more exciting and entertaining way!
This is one of my favorite matches I've ever watched.
This match definitely lived up to the hype. Amazing performance by all. Incredibly exciting from first minute to last
WOW! What a match! Well done Schmoedown, wow!
Thank you for this match! That was a ton of fun to watch!
Smets, Champion of Champions
This was an incredible match! I admit that while I miss the elaborate entrances, their trivia knowledge was amazing.
Great match & great job everyone! 💪
This was one of the most entertaining matches I have watched.
Exhibition is definitely the way to go during this, I would love to see matches that count but I don't think it would work on hear. This was a great match!
Amazing job guys! Well done and well put together!
It's nice to see the MTS again. Exhibition or not, new MTS is new MTS.
GREAT MATCH! One thing I will say though is that we need to be able to see the hands of each competitor at all times, in the interest of fairness. Even for the most knowledgable of competitors, the temptation can sometimes be there.
Y'all should auction off the note cards Murrell is writing his answers on, as well as the sheets of paper Rocha & Damon are writing on.
...& bonus points to the Smasher for being the only one with a white board at home.
Well he’s the only one who played in the fan leagues lol
Great match, hope it becomes an annual thing. Crazy that Smets only got IG questions in round 2 and 3. Perhaps designating one of the rounds to only SW, one to IG and one to singles would ensure a more even playing field, but still an awesome match.
I agree ... what a fun idea!

Awesome match, Damon was awesome only missing 2 questions. And did not get any intergeekdom for his last 3 questions. Damon needs to play in the Team league. He would be a great B player.
Amazing match. Looking forward to more format like this. Good start for the new pilot format.
This was so much fun!! Honestly was nervous how this would work, but I loved it!
And I have that same Medieval Times cup as Smets 😂
It may or may not have been filled with beer :)
Great match. All 4 guys had a moment. Showed you why they're a champ.
4 Champions enter only 1 can emerge victorious
Man, that song during the promo is KILLING IT!!!
Amazing match! Thank you SO much for doing this guys 🙏
This was such a great fun match, absolutely did not go the way I expected. I though Damon would come dead last and he nearly won. Dan coming last is mind blowing and Smets came out of nowhere and won! Also I maintain that Rocha absolutely knew that Goblin answer and was just creating drama. Kristian not knowing the rules was hilarious too
This is one of my favorite matches in a long time! All of these guys are champs for a reason!
Wow. That sums up everything about the match. All four champions showed why they have the belts.
Genuinely enjoyed this match more than I thought I would
one of the most fun matches in a long time
This match waa such a treat. Thank you guys for putting this together
This is the biggest Schmoedown ever. I upgraded to 10 $ just for this.
I cant stop watching these !! I think id do pretty good here
WOW!!! this match was awesome! Super fun exhibition 🙌🏼
Thanks for this guys. love me some Schmoedown.
This was more than great - good stuff, good stuff!
Loved it...hats off to all four competitors for a great match.
Amazing match! All 4 of these guys are true titans!
Damon played incredibly! Super surprised by his performance. Also you could tell why Rocha and Murrell are such a great team. Not only do they perform well individually, but they knew each other's misses easily. Smasher what can I say, he's the champ among champs and I'm not surprised he won👌
Honestly one of the most interesting matches of all time
Outside of the LIVE matches, do the competitors hear their entrance music when they enter or is that edited in? Love the original music for everyone ... David B. is super talented!
We hear it in studio matches, but it was edited in after the fact for this match.
What a match.Congrates to everyone who participated and those who put it all together. Shout out to Smets. Knew could do it. If in singles or teams I am always supporting Rocha but when Smasher is involved it's you I support. As always say with The Dungon win lose or draw. And was rewarded today. Great fun.

OMG Dan has debate flashcards lol
This was really fun to watch
Holy crap what an ending!
Thank you for this match in such difficult times
That was incredible!
I know it's born out of neccesity but I kind of love this format! Great game, guys! Nailbiter!
Four Men Enter. One Man Leaves.
That was a lot of fun, I'm glad they were able to work around the covid constraints. Great match!
Wow, this was just such an awesome match. Love it. Make it public eventually.
