    Wanted to upload this as an epic introduction to Trackmania Esports. It was played in July 2022, and its one of the greatest matches ever played.
    Some background on players:
    CarlJr - Widely considered the Trackmania GOAT, going for his 5th World Champion title.
    Mudda - Best Fullspeed Player in the game. Coming into world cup with momentum after beating CarlJr 1v1 in the finals of 'Trackmania Grand League'
    Mime - Young Polish prodigy, 19 at the time of this match
    Otaaq - Young French prodigy, 17 at the time of this match

      Questions guys/ladies. My brother got a netbook with linux. I read some ways to make trackmania 2020 to work thou idk if the netbook will handle the graphics. But even then, i wanted to ask what is the best approach to make TM2020 work on linux right now? And if 2020 doesnt run well then he will play nations forever or something.

    As a new watcher: nice racing! But what a weird format...it feels odd to be watching a long battle for 3rd when the winner has been decided.

    as nice as it is that you are getting GR sponsorship, i"d prefer if they put their effort into making unlimited numbers of the GR Corolla and got it to Europe as well

    35:28 Otaaq may have not won, but he definitely has challenged the top players in the most important moments of the competition.

    Why did CarlJR get his map again? Wouldn't the random map be more fair? Or switching maps after one round after all maps are done?

    Wondering if the 2 players sitting closest to the caster were last because the caster are throwing their arms around so much...

    This was super cool to watch. One question, for anyone more knowledgeable: it felt a little unfair that Carl's choice got to be played twice (and be the winner determining map), how does that ordering get decided? Felt like if Quicksand was 1st, the result could have been entirely different as Carl wasn't as strong there. Thanks!

      The map order is determined by the seed of each player so it's intended to give a potential help to the first seed

    • @jeanjacques9365
      @jeanjacques9365 Рік тому

      It's based on the previous rounds so it isn't unfair someone's map has to be played more than once it should be the reward for earlier stages which are otherwise meaningless (1st and 2nd get through and there is no difference).
