Nice to see Wirtual pulling a Mufat to clutch
Yeah, I think we’re all glad he didn’t pull a wirtual!
yeah, that was nice to see
who's Mufat?
@@eoinyone Mufat balls
@@eoinyone You fool... You have fallen in the trap set by wirtual himself. It is time... I... Am.. sorry
Wirtual saying he has a chance because the map doesn't cater to any specialists, but the truth is he has the advantage as the weird shit specialist.
A Kacky specialist if you will
He started by playing RPG tracks. Driving backwards is his specialty.
👍🍞 Bread
@@bread9986 i agree
@@bread9986
So he has won twice out of 201 attempts, so he's got near 1% chance to win every time. I like those odds
pretty good considering tmgl players often compete,scrapie alone has over 40 wins and granady should also have over 30 i think.
Twice out of 199. Total played doesn't exclude won attempts
@@kuudereplus doesnt it? it was 199 and 1 at the start and 199 and 2 at the end?
@@christianmingle3394 Pretty sure that's because he literally edited it to say 1 in Chrome and then showed the current page (2). This is a December 2021 video talking about a September 2021 run after all.
You must play gacha games.
"Who's gonna win" "I say Mufat" that had me laughing hard
First time I watched this video, that joke sailed over my head because I hadn't seen Wirtual's stunt with the smurf account. Once I came back to this video after seeing that other video, I had to pause the video because the joke finally hit me.
@@MarsJenkar the classic rewatching old videos out of boredom, can relate :D

*REAL SHIT?*
He won once on an ice map as well, that doesn't count?
interesting username, I like it
@@akosszakacs331 that happened just after this if I'm not mistaken
@@akosszakacs331 it was only 2nd
@@tekceb-1247 no he went that. Atm he won 3 total.
Good race there :D
By the time, I didn't understand why I dropped so much speed in the end. I felt like I got it very good and was surprised you caught up that much. After the bounce and our speed difference, there was nothing I could've done to prevent you overtaking me. Always not the nicest feeling. I lost quite often matches in the last corner, but this time not by safing :D
Don't worry Wirtual cheated by having Mufat play this COTD.
nothing to feel sorry for, you became an immortalised legend thanks to this :D gg
you two are absofuckinglutely phenomenal at this
nice line in the water :D
@@bigjoshfamous GG Bro..
I feel the need to make a correction here: "Pulling a Wirtual" does NOT mean to choke or to fail in a spot where you're ahead. Anyone can do that. Pulling a Wirtual means to be in a dire moment of need, where things may seem lost but there's still a possibility of success. Everything from that point onwards needs to be perfect. THEN you choke.
I cackled at this assessment
Based
This brings to mind those marathon runners or pro cyclists who decide to throw their arms out in celebration right as they come to the finish line, only to trip / crash and get overtaken at the last second.
Exactly, it needs to be a massive W that suddenly becomes an L at the very end. It is the fall of a god to the depths of mortality, the moment at which the beloved tsar becomes known as a vile dictator, seemingly through the whims of the fates. That perfect instant of utter failure is a Wirtual.
Clarles Leclerc pulled a Wirtual at the Monaco GP.
The home-hero - a monegasque native. Dominated qualifying and started on pole position. Led the first part of the race. Threw everything away due to Ferrari calling him into the pits _by accident_ because of a communication error. This is the pure essence of pulling a Wirtual.
For me there are two pull a wirtuals. One with a big W and one with an L on the end so clutching is a Wirtual and choking is a wirtuaL
Underrated comment. :)
Big W for win and big L for lose/lost
This comment right here
Schrodinger’s Wirtual
Oh yea, its all coming together
What a cool track! Congrats with the second TOTD win
He has 4 now, this was 3 months ago
Don't get your hopes up, Mufat played for him Kappa
Isn’t it COTD?
@@smam7667 yes
@@averagebeetle
woah nice
That screenshot of Micka's 1,000,000 score in the ice campaign @2:52 is both unbelievable and expected. Mortal ice drivers can't compare to an ice god.
it is quite terrifying that one man has the power to hold all wr on ice maps. mans a menaces on ice
Wirtual didn't even mention ice as a category of map when going tech, dirt, full because there's no point lmao
@@LoLXaxziminrax also has to do with the fact that ice maps are relatively new while all the other categories mentioned are a decade old by now.
Mickas real name is Elsa
Would have gone with Subzero personally.
Oh shit I remember this day. It was hilarious switching through POVs watching Wirtual have the most fun in a while and Scrapie actually rage quitting the map
When the 2 definitions on 'pull a wirtual' show up, you can see that the second was actually written by him
didn't even bother to change the like and dislike counts smh
@@rinsthighs becasue it would have 0 likes ^^
They actually rejected his definition. You can check it out on his twit from late 2020.
Having you point out that there are defined styles of tracks players make, I realise that unlike others who are good at a certain style, you're an all-rounder. Amazing when things are meshed together!
Wasn‘t he a dirt guy?
I wouldn't really say Wirt is an all rounder, all players are 'good' on all surfaces but just tend to be exceptional at one. For Wirtual that tends to be RPG and backwards style stuff that he excels at.
I feel like Wirtual excels at adaptation. There was a stream he did at pathfinding against Scrapie, and I was in awe at how quickly he could find a route through the maps. In awe at Scrapie, too, but Wirtual seemed to be able to intuit the unknown/unexpected extremely well.
In general, I'd say he's good at the "kinda janky" stuff like TMNF dirt (not really 2020 dirt), and then RPG's/trials and backwards as you say. He's also pretty good at ice because he recently spent a lot of time to specifically get better at that.
Wirtual specializes at weird shortcut gimmicks.
I am proud to have been the mapper of your 2nd COTD win! And I have good news! My next project is finished and the Map is gonna be suiting you well again.
And in fact I would personally describe myself as a mapper building weird and special conceps in general. not "only" backwards. I just happened to feel like my first bw map wasn't as good as I wanted it to be so I wanted redemption =P.
Again wp and gl on the next map =)
the map is awesome!
Legendary map design.
I think it takes a ton of skill to design a map the way you did.
It’s good enough to be featured as the Cup of the Day map.
It’s weird enough so that no specialist can just come in and win.
It’s perfect for showing off what Cup of the Day does best. You aren’t just going “Oh, this is another full speed map,” this map uses mechanics of this game that really aren’t featured in most tracks. You had to have knowledge of mechanics like how running into plastic works, how water physics work, and how to get a weird bounce angle to finish at the end. Very interesting stuff.
I've seen two sh0rty maps in CotD. Both epic. GG
Man you awesome bro.. a mapper is a headache to think about the project being creative and entertainment at the same time.. respect..
I find that the following strategy works well when trying to win a Trackmania Tournament:
1. Go as far as possible in the tournament, preferably till the end
2. Go as fast as possible, preferably faster than anybody else
Damn, now we will have tied times all around COTD because of your wisdom.
Sir.
You’re a genius.
Someone give this man a trophie
Woah I never thought about that! You're a genius!
@@lambandham2925 @l Leão l @Kolscor I know, guys! Thanks for the kind words!
I was watching a lot of tournaments and noticed that every single winner was adhering to those two rules in the priority I listed! No exception!
Two further curious things I noticed about about the people winning is that they usually don't crash - unless crashing is faster on a particular track - and that they always come in first during the last race of the tournament. However, I feel that both aspects are already covered by above rules and listing them explicitly might just lead to too much confusion. ;)
Wirtual: Consistency is key
Also Wirtual: PB in first round
Well, it's true that Wirtual was consistent. Consistently ahead of the rest of the field.
Always looking forward to new vids on this channel. Lets goooo Wirt!
I'm not into Trackmania, but Wirtual somehow manages to make it exciting. 👍😊
Same
@@sechi731 are u okay?
@@_alokslu_691 it's a bot
same here ! I watched so many of his videos haha
@@ExodiumTM I actually didn't know, I'm not being sarcastic, thank you
Wirtual made me play Trackmania again. Again, I mean I installed Trackmania 2020 for the first time in my life, although I'm an oldie so I beat the original Trackmania (2003) back when the game was new :) I did the fall 2021 campaign in the new game and I'm already 3rd place in my region.
Greenland?
Too bad it was a turd place. 😋
@@larion2336 fucking lmao
I find placing in COTD very impressive. Not many can perform so consistently, no mistakes at such high pressure. Your consistency was insane, well deserved win.
Wirtual pulled a MufaT. Starting from middling/marginal to the top. Good he is not going from W to L. Congrats!!
The other streamer reactions are so goooood i want more of those, and congrats for pulling a Mufat!
Really liked the editing on this one! Especially zooms to leaderboard and graphics with it. And also bringing other streamers pov's to the party with nice well-timed edits. You are doing such a service for entire scene in every single video!
Actually, "pulling a Wirtual" means getting the opposite of what the chances looked like a moment ago. So both choking and clutching are possible outcomes, depending on what the odds looked like. If you are in the lead by 1s, pulling a Wirtual means hitting an obstacle on the map. If you are 0.2s behind on the last checkpoint, pulling a Wirtual means to win by the thickness of a hair.
That last race VS Marius was dope, Wirtual. Thanks for blessing my feed with a hype video.
12:29 Nice, how you got a win without increasing the "total played" matches👌🏻 thats pure skill
He probably photoshopped the old count because he didn't think to screenshot the count before he won. Plot continuity.
12:26 that was a good move by marius though, suprised you still made the cup! congrants man.
Finally! Watched this live and have been waiting for a youtube video forever! GGs
Holy hell, 17 seconds since the video was launched and I already know it's gonna be epic. Love you Wirtual.
I love how the urban dictionary definition that describes pulling a wirtual as a clutch is published by wirtual. No one else wanted to say it.
Editing in the other's Reactions and Perspectives was really cool! Loved it!
I really love your videos, bro! Your storytelling is great! Keep rockin'!
such a creative map!
never could build something by myself :D
Even as a new viewer, your content is really good and addictive, keep making more love these vids
Always love watching your videos. So chill. Your streams are cool too. Thank you for the content.
Nice to see that this game is still going strong. I played it in the early days and was a top fifty player at one point. Dirt and high speed were my thing back then. I remember a dirt oval on which I was somehow ridiculously good so I totally get your narrative there
10:01 the mufat Easter egg
Pulling a Wirtual: A community created contronym, that means to either perform a last minute fail, or last minute win via some insane luck.
so either way the chat can use the "Pulling a wirtual"
This. Start with a W and end with an L.
Or, succeed by doing something genuinely crazy. This is sometimes called "the Wirtual line".
This was just Wirtual being good at stuff. That's kind of off-brand.
@@blaccky7232 yup
@@SylviusTheMad Understandable. I was simply explaining how "Pulling a Wirtual" became a contronym, with both meanings being opposites, haha
That's a really sick edited video. Great job!
I’ve never played this game and probably never will but I cannot stop watching your videos. Fantastic job.
the little eyebrow move at 11:42 for the jump at the end, there you can see he was giving it all
I just got Trackmania specifically because of Wirtual. Before I came across this channel, I knew basically nothing about the game, but just watching these videos made me want to experience it for real and be a part of your amazing community. Thank you!
Love where you are taking your content -- speedruns may be hard to parse through and produce videos on, but I would even watch videos about cup of the days where you lost tbh
Well done !!
really happy for you
Enjoy watching you drive tho, brings back a lot of memories from tmnf :P
Wirtual actually won his 2nd one on his 200th cup of the day? That's what you call a chad move.
I love how this video is so satisfying, probably the most I have ever seen. Most videos try to clickbait you but already knowing the outcome almost makes this vid sweeter. I guess this is one of those glad to be along journey type things. Great video wirtual
Congrats on the win, never let others define you. You pulled a wirtual for sure!!
Your story telling is god tier. I’ve never played this game but always love watching your videos
I just realized that watching these videos is the closest I've ever come to watching sports on TV.
Great feeling!!
Nice to see Wirtual pull a Wirtual and clutch this race win! Nice work!!!! Congratulations!
Congrats. My heart was beating pretty hard just watching. I cannot imagine what you were going through!
As a swede. Well played my brother
I don't know who is Quentin43 but he looked strong, the kind of gigachad that would play canyon
Sick stream montage. Editing is insane
I remember watching this one live Granady pov-was so hyped when it was down to Wirtual and Marius
Dont even play this game, but my heart was pounding at the end. and ACCUALY laughed out loud at the end when you won.
I started playing trackmania bc of wirtual. I stopped playing but I still watch his videos bc of how good they are
Congrats to 700k subs!
I came back to trackmania after literally 10 years because of your videos, im having a lot of fun on it, nice video
Congrats Wirtual!
You said that there are no specialists for this kind of track, but how about the backwards driving specialists?
It actually wasn’t too long until he got 1st again hahaha
Not sure if the VOD is anywhere but he won again on a fullspeed map about 2 weeks later!
Love Your Vids Man Keep Up The Amazing Work (Story Telling is very good)
honestly I dont watch very much on trackmania but man this video had my adreline pumping keep up the good work
This guy knows that a big part of the watchers havent played this game, so he changed his intro to "if you have watched trackmania on YT" LOL
Don’t know why most of these viewers don’t play at this game
Assumed inapproachability since people that watch trackmania in general watch it through him, and they know it is a 15 year old community and the speedrun involve insane tricks so they will be geared towards wanting to speedrun but knowing they’ll never get that good? Or perhaps they enjoy the polish of Wirtual rather than the trackmania content he puts out?
Props to Shorty for that map, it looks and feels amazing
Nice playlist of background music atop the good plays btw
Recognized at least a few from Persona and other series
Great vid as always Wirtual
"I've played over 100 cups of the day" *199 Played*
That's like saying you're in your 20s when you're 29 and its your birthday tomorrow lol
He said 100 since he won his first COTD. Not in total
@@chicken_punk_pie ah my bad, tired af
I used to say I was in my twenties up till midnight before my 30th birthday.
Imagine if Granady made a video like this every time he won
It's kind of funny that when Wirtual does this he does it on a Shorty map, since a while back we got used to Shorty being the Eeyore of the German group and entertainingly complaining about all the CotD tracks.
@@ofs82 indeed this is true
I just want to say you randomly appeared in my recommendations and now I cant stop watching track mania content
Nice Clutch during those final moments!
Gotta shout out that remix of Specialist. Killing it with the videos, keep it up.
I have never played this game, but damn his videos is on another level...
Brrrrr
Brrrrr

Great video man!
10:41 i love that song so much, i blast it everytime before i have an exam :D gets me hyped for sure
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
Since we've no place to go
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Congrats on 4 win
I am an RTS Player and did a lot of things there and played some ingame Tournaments etc. But i have to admit, this game, even i startet playing it since 2 days (because of Wirtual) is sooooo cool to watch and even its already decided and i know by the title that he wins its so exiting to watch :D
The editing made me anxious together with Wirtual. Congrats on the editor
10:10 why did he say Mufat wasn’t that the account you used for the anonymous vid
I think they found out it was Wirtual after the race
It’s a nickname now I guess
Mufat is really good
have never played this game, bur ur videos are too good man! Keep it up
Wirtual I love your content man. Ty
Bro you gotta update the music list
I always go with "pulling a Wirtual" means both. You either manage to win despite mistake or bad start or you manage to screw things up, when you had the best start/luck possible.
It's just that screwing something up will happen more often than clutching the track. Law of statistics.
i love the specialist persona 4 kinda vibe in 4:40 , its fits so well your style ov videos.
congratulations, I get stuck on your video clips all the time. You are a really good story teller!
I don't even play this game but your videos are so entertaining to watch! LET'S GO WIRTUAAAAL
Pulling a Wirtual is the Schrödinger’s cat of competitive gaming.
A really good video. Never dissapointing. Waiting for more content.
This map was crazy. You got faster by like .2 every other round in the end. I was surprised that you didn't hunt it for an even crazier time. Your end also caught up like 2 seconds on the rest.
Idk what it is about Wirtual videos but I never get sick of watching them, I haven't even played trackmania and I can watch the same video on repeat and not get bored
Keep it up my guy
Fortsett med de gode videoene dine❤🇳🇴
CONGRATULATIONS ON 700K WE LOVE YOU❤️ GREETINGS FROM BALKANNN
This is only the second video I watched from this guy and I love it so far.
merry xmas/happy holidays, nice job.
CONGRATS!!
The commentary is just godly. Congrats Wirtual.
Good job man!
