Yeah, see, that will actually be an interesting match. It's fun to follow even if they're rated a lot lower than me, because they're similarly rated and playing for money and glory

But without the bracket it would have been hard for me (and others) to find this info.

nah mate I just read the chesscom news.

The only thing i watched related to this was "backwards baseball cap dude" F-Bombing his way through how Ben Finegold is a chess elitist.

I watched Hikaru's video on YT called "xQc learns to crush noobs"

Heh, yeah, the dumb kids who get outraged over nothing, constantly dreaming up new ways to be offended and new buzz words of the week. This week it's "chess elitism."

Whatever. The social media blowhards will move on to something else soon enough.

Yeah, but when the relevant info is scattered across 10 articles it's pretty dumb.

I was actually chatting with a guy about it. He said I was wrong, that he could find the info in just a few clicks on chess.com. It was a discord call so I could see his screen an everything. So he starts clicking around... and scrolling, and clicking... more and more until he finally gives up lol.

But in the middle of it he's like, see, it's right here. I can see who won. I said ok, then tell me who Forsen lost to in his group stage games, and he's like... uhh... 

lol

uhh.. well.. never mind. haha.

He is obviously llama, you don't need to overthink it. once in a while people play worse than usual. 

Edit: he is 2105 now.

No offense, but I don't even remember you. Why would I care whether you think I'm llama?

I'll try for 2200 again within a few days... probably. That's the plan anyway.

I never heard of any of these pog players, but I enjoy watching the games. Go GM Ludwig!

Sir-Foxy

Yeah, its xQc vs Ludwig, and the winner will play in finals of the consolation bracket... I don't know Ludwig, so I'll cheer for xQc

Ludwig is an English major who has done very well commentating on these games with GM Hess. XQC seems to be nothing but an obnoxious tard with blond highlights. 

But you root for who you want to root for.

I hope my guy Hutch wins the whole thing. T
