It's the road from Stellenbosch to Jonkershoek nature reserve. I have cycled that road and climbed that peak and still took me half the time of that flip before I realized.
@@60hzReptilianAlien tbh with you this is not the first time they are having handpicked locations. It isn’t scripted. Im not a professional at GeoGuessr but I’m in the top 1k players. If you want proof this isn’t the first time they are having handpicked locations just go watch the rainbolt daily challenges.
Their confidence on the Falklands was so sad, then "where else could it be" as you see nordic houses and he passes a geological feature you will only see on one group of islands on planet earth.
Yes, at a certain level you only look for it when you have a weird 50/50 such as Ireland/New Zealand or Argentina/Mexico. There are so many rounds where it's not helpful because country or continent is obvious, because you are in the tropics, because it's early or late in the day, or because of cloud cover, so people absolutely get out of the habit.
To me, that was the most interesting tourney to watch so far. It's so cool to watch players vote in different countries not knowing exactly where they are. Do it again please !
Seeing the complaints at the beginning about it only being plant life is really funny to me. I’m not massively into geoguessr or anything, but I like watching people who are good at it, and because I’m a ecology fan, most of the time when I get something close to right it’s because of the plants helping me narrow the location down. (And, like, soil colour and seeing how sparse / dense plants are and such)
The Alaska one at 2:03 was funny for me to watch as an Alaskan. To me, it looked so much like interior AK, it looed like Murphy Dome Rd or one of the surrounding roads, which I've driven on several times.
that last round is a 5-10 minute drive from where i live, and its funny because whenever i see rounds in the okanagan i always think they look SO bc but geoguessr players tend to be unsure
I’m from Hawaii and I guessed the one before it to be Hawaii like Hana or deep Haiku like Huelo. The next one when they said “Oh that’s Hawaii” I’m like, “Bitch, where?” But OF COURSE, it’s the part of the big island that I don’t know well. Whenever I used to visit there I’d be all over except that area because nothings there. But big island is weird. Ocean, snow, smooth volcano rock in just complete vastness that takes hours to drive through, rough volcano rock, rolling green hills and pastures, rain forest type density, lots of little trails.. which WAS in the Hawaii picture along with what looked like Kiawe trees, which are more identifiable when they’re fallen and somewhat grey. People use kiawe wood for bbq for example but that’s a thorny ugly tree that grows in dry dead dirt. On maui they’re usually more packed together but each island is so different so idk how the fuck pro geoguessers do this because SO MANY places can look similar. You really have to know every single plant, tree, grass, dirt, topography like mountains and shit, even the sky. Roads are much easier to learn but learning all of it especially the surrounding growth. That’s fucking hard dude
This is what geoguessr is like for normal people who don't know meta, but are averagely interested in "plant and climate vibes" and generally interested in geography. The fact that like 10 countries on 3 different continents can only be differentiated by telephone poles or car meta is crazy to me, that's why I prefer urban world, even though the normal mods are fun for me
Yeah i always only know the location based on plants/soil because thats what i know the best in geography and i dont know anything about like poles and road lines and stuff Which means that i got most of these guesses actually a lot better than them, because i know the general look of plants and stuff in an area
@@IljaMuromec114 I look at "climate vibes", architecture and language. In terms of plants I can only put them in vibe categories since I don't know much about them, but differentiating south east Asian languages is definitely a great skill, also since I'm from the Balkans, differentiating and reading most slavic languages (if urban) is a great advantage. I only play casual so I only get like 16K max points
that one location 4:24 really looked like in the Philippines to me. Surprised they took a guess there but it felt wrong because the road and the scenery was off a bit. It being too vegetative and you'd expect to see at least something other than plants when it's a road that wide. Either farm,cows or goats.
There you go! Now you know how us mortals feel when you make us play in ABW in the daily challenge. :P But seriously, thanks for posting this, now I feel slightly less bad for sucking. :)
I can't believe what I saw in the first round. I am no near to a pro level, but one of the obvious locations are the Faroe Islands. It's very strange from Rainbolt.
First one was lowkey obvious. But that one dude put everyone else off in the wrong direction, but my first instinct was one of those nordic island areas (i.e. Faroe Islands, Greenland, etc).
tbf south africa was quite obvious there, driving on the left which already gives a limited amount of options + those very steep mountains (in Europe there is not anything like this)
@3:35 it is quite close to my house (like 20km) and I was like why not Poland? looks like somewhere near here... and then: omg didn't mean that near xD
@@YS-tv4yv Thanks for explaining. I straight up still do not understand the format of this game though in this video. None of the names in the tournament seemed to line up with the names shown at the end of each round. Like at 1:06 he locks in the Falklands, but then it shows the only other flag outside of farrow island as Greenland
@@1992jamo in that clip, its 3v3 format, rainbolt is playing with ziggi and jupao. Ziggi and rainbolt go falklands, jupao goes greenland (he says this verbally as well). Final map doesn’t show the falkland guesses because they’re simply off the map, and only the closest guess of each team matters (jupao’s greenland guess).

very proud of myself for correctly guessing the first one despite not being close on any other round
Same here
I was in iceland..so i call it a win lol
Same here, surprised they failed that one. Its so distinct and at same time quite famous
I know.. that was so obviously Faroe Islands. Knew it the second I saw a red roof
i think the trekker threw them off
what i dont understand is how this man performs better when he can see 0.01% of the picture, but it's inverted, black and white and distorted
these rounds don't have the normal clues just vegetation and some elevation
This is a hard map, not random locations, intentionally more difficult
because those are highlights where he does attempts for ages and only takes the best game/best guesses
@@ThymedCape Town was obvious tho
That's a compilation of his best guesses and an "easier" map
Their confidence on the Falklands was so sad, then "where else could it be" as you see nordic houses and he passes a geological feature you will only see on one group of islands on planet earth.
Yeah, I immediately thought Faroe, from the shape and arrangement of the houses
Also thought it was Faroe Islands because of the houses and because there are no trees
I went straight to Iceland, I was not that far
Also very clear that the sun is to the south..
"There" is wrong, I hope you are not english native
Do people just get so confident they stop looking for the sun?
sometimes you can't see where it is because of all the clouds

Then go pro
they just got confused... the sun was south, no way to be in falkland.. they just messed up with the islands name
Seems rainbolt summoned all the patriotic Argentinians with this one
If you’ve ever seen a single picture of Faroe Islands you should know that it was the first location.
I guessed that Norway/Sweden one really well. Basically exactly where I'd have put the pin
Do you mean the last one, Because that was in Canada.
First one was lowkey obvious. But that one dude put everyone else off in the wrong direction, but my first instinct was one of those nordic island areas (i.e. Faroe Islands, Greenland, etc).
