Yeah, when i got my first run in, i knew i wasn't going to win this one. I don't like tubes myself, especially when they are blind. That .5 was honestly a surprise for me and i was trying to beat it the rounds after, i did have the pace but i kept messing up. The only thing i was really confused about was the ending and that caused me to crash into the blue edge. Better luck next week!
Yeah, that 44.2 was like a .6s from my warmups pb iirc. It was funny cause it was right after I sniped staying in/almost dnfing, I was talking about how risky the map is and thinking I was out that round during that 44.2😂
I didn't discover the 2nd loop at the first pipe. My approach to them was to watch what direction the exit was and then set up the entrance to make the loop smooth. It mostly worked and while I would occasionally mess up a run I was mostly consistent. I kept trying to refine that strategy during the cup and I think that is what got me in the end. Twice, on my last round, I took the final pipe like you did at 9:15 to get knocked out with a DNF. Trying to tighten the loop I ended up exiting on the left side, aligned with the finish ring but with no ground to land on. Oh well. Fun map.
I was so sad getting out before Top 10. this map felt like I could do good. But then I skidded out on my 2nd run and had no time for reset. Really enjoyable map!
hey! i haven't watched zeepkist in ages, but i'm just curious if warcans is still playing? i remember he was the original best player, and i wonder if he's still up there?
Ive looked into the GTR ghosts a bit since. Im pretty sure his 'no loop' line was slightly faster, about .1 - .2 seconds. The speed is the same but it just takes a bit more time to do the loop.
@@hugovrana1667Sure ok, I guess steal was a bit too strong of a word. But seriously, literally almost all of that track came from a COTD in Trackmania 2020.

Man you are so consistent of a racer. Always makes great videos too broski. I’m a big fan of cup of the day!
felt like making something unique for cup
@@ijustmaki I really liked it. I'm embarrassed it took me so long to figure out what the fish were for. 🤦
really cool looking track
Kern's on track to take Maki's top spot for number of COTD wins
hopefully I can get there by only winning against maki :p

GG. I really enjoyed this cup, Maki did a great job on the map. That 42.78 by Kern was crazy.
Second place curse strikes again!
I was hitting that fish all the time
The outertube one was overall harder
This was a tough one, but managed to get my first Top 4 🥳

These lobbies are stacked every week, top 10 is no easy task
@@Hi_Im_Sandals yeah. Im aware that it is not easy. It still makes me sad.

Warcans still plays but his name is warsnac now
@@TurboWheelie thank u!
Warcans still plays but I don't think its nearly as often as he used to. He's still a very good player though.
Yeah Kern was doing the start different, he didn't do the extra loop, not sure how much of a difference it was making.

Would it be too much for you to record your runs, then provide commentary after you win CotD?
As a Trackmania player, I feel like this map was stolen from a track of the day...
this was 100% a cotd map
