    I met a guy at a wedding last weekend and we realized we shared Geoguessr as a mutual interest. He pulled up TH-cam and your channel was his top recommendation, which confirmed for me that he knew his stuff.

    As a lifelong geography nerd, I recently got into this game and also started a group of GeoGuessr players at work during downtime. I had seen a bunch of creators on YT in the last month as well, and you're at the top for me. On top of the obvious skill, you're fun, humble and just generally great to listen to. Keep up the good work, dude

    Zigzag! I've been watching Geoguessr streams for a while but just recently started playing myself. Enjoyed your "One Geoguessr Tip for EVERY Country in Europe" video, but as a possible content suggestion could you maybe do a focused guide on Southeast Europe? Everything between Italy and Greece seems to be very difficult to differentiate and in searching I've not found any good YT vids on the topic so there might be a video niche you could fill! :)

    I posted this under your previous Jake Lyons moving vid but too late for you to see it, so I'll try again here as I think it's worth a read:
    In the Germany round at 21:20 it says the city name 'Rosenheim' on the glass of the bus stop which you looked at. The red 'Bierfest' poster on your screen which you completely ignored also had the Bavarian blue and white check pattern on its logo, which would have gotten you the correct state. You complained in that round that "I couldn't get to any info bro" - but all the info was there and you just didn't look enough at it.
    In general your main flaw on Moving seems to be that you're so used to scanning for the metas, reading the vegetation and checking for the vibes that give you the answers on tricky rural NMPZ rounds (and tricky rural Moving rounds), that on more urban Moving rounds you ignore too much of the text on posters/shop signs/side of vans/bus stops/road signs etc. which can actually tell you EXACTLY where the location is without having to use any metas or get a read on the vegetation etc. You should be trying to read basically every poster/shop sign/van/public transport etc. that's there as they so often have the address.
    I think you need to find a flick in your mindset that whenever you land on more urban (or motorway) Moving rounds you switch from the mode of being mostly interested in all the NMPZ meta and vegetation recognition, to quickly trying to scan as many signs and read as much text and logos as you can find; and on Motorways don't ignore the possibility for road signs nearby. Of course use all the meta/vegetation/geography stuff to support your guess as well, and quick guessing based on the NMPZ metas on Moving rounds can be a very good tactic on more rural rounds as Shinji showed in the World Cup, but Jake seems to manage to beat you more often here mainly because he just finds and reads the signs quicker and then 5ks (which in some ways is less difficult than the recognition skills you use to win on NMPZ). In the World Cup you can't just hope for always getting rural Moving rounds in the Multis which you can quickly guess on and the opponent can't 5k.
    I know your internet connection doesn't help, but maybe just practise Moving rounds whereby you scan to find clues to the place name quickly on signs, but without giving yourself a set time limit so there's not as much pressure on your laggy internet and figure out how long it would take you in a tournament with better internet. Also, my gut instinct from watching these games is that insta-sending on more urban Moving rounds will still typically result in you losing those rounds, as the chance of finding signage in the extra 15 seconds the opponent has seems too high. But it might be useful to calculate exactly how many seconds it on typically takes the top players to find the signage to 5k on urban Moving rounds, so you can calculate exactly how beneficial or not it is for you to insta-guess and how many seconds you can take before sending.
