@@francisconieto3528 He's the underdog in terms of ratings. As far as performance goes, there's no way anyone can convince me Ludwig is barely 1100 though.
Don't know why, but any game during pogchamps, it's immediately a good game to me. I know there are blunders and better moves, but the commentary makes the games looks so advanced and high level
It is also because despite doing many mistakes they are clever and do some great moves. For example Sardoche wants to impress and know how to do some great tactics despite doing some basic mistakes because he isn't experienced and have little mental.
A grand master and an international master are analyzing the game, obviously what they say is going to be high level, plus these two players are actually prepared for this game.
Yes, in fact the analysis of the mistakes makes those games more pedagogic than an analysis of some pro games where you have to figure out the anticipation of the next 5/10 moves to analyse if it was a good or bad move or how good or bad it was etc... We can recognize some of our mistakes too and thats interesting.
Ludwig's main strength was that he recovered fast from his blunders and he focused on the current situation in every game . Unlike Sardoche and Charlie he never beat himself up in the middle of a game and found the strength to come back not once but three times including Logic. But ultimately Sardoche proved strong . Ludwig is definitely going to perform better in the next pogchamps which may come around June July .

@@dingo9696 dude, Sardoche checkmating Ludwig with king and rook was simple yet completely correct so you can call that grandmaster-level technique as well. Ludwig did play that endgame correctly so even if it's simple to spot the ideas it's still fair to be called grandmaster-level technique
@@dingo9696 ah yes, as if playing one opening move is strategy. If a beginner plays 20 moves of theory then yeah that would be grandmaster-level opening play.

I can confirm. I've watched every match so far, and this match has definitely been my favorite, by far.
Sardoche vs Benjyfishy is up there too
Darn, they cut out the part of the interview where Ludwig and Sardoche were speaking to each other in french
Ludwig was not speaking french, he was aligning random words. And insults before the match
@Seb Edgar he insulted him first, but he was really nice after the match. But it was fun, these "insults" were mainly for the entertainment

Well, if Ludwig's not in the championship match, he can at least commentate it, right? That's always the best. Haha.
