Today's video is the much-anticipated DioGuessr 1v1 against me and Josh
0:06
Zerker and I have both been progressing in DioGuessr quite a lot recently
0:10
so people have been desperate for us to have a battle, and today is that day
0:14
This video is just my perspective, but you can go watch Josh's side of things over on ZerkerGuessr's
0:20
And even better, we had ZigZag spectating the whole thing, so you'll be able to see his perspective over on his channel as well
0:26
Anyway, let's get into the 1v1. Hopefully I win. Jack, Josh, are you ready
0:31
I am ready, Zigzag. That's it, Jack. The compliments are like that. Let's go. You can wish me some good luck
0:37
and let's get into the first game. The best man wins, Zerker. Jack doesn't mean luck
0:41
He's good. He knows he's good. Thanks, man. Appreciate it. Okay. Really interested to see what happens here
0:47
I mean, Josh is definitely on paper a lot better than me, but I'm hoping that with enough round..
0:52
Oh, he's waving at me. It's a bit of fun. All right. We can move around
0:56
It's looking like South Korea off the bat. Shall I just throw in the guess
1:01
I guess. I suppose so. Does it look like a big major city? Does it look like we're actually in Seoul
1:08
Please be South Korea. Please don't be Hong Kong or somewhere. Okay, shall I just go for it
1:13
Yeah. Okay, yeah, his guess is coming as well. We're gonna just go in Seoul. Let's see it
1:18
Okay. Oh, he's closer. He's closer. He just kind of went around the middle
1:22
Nice. Fair play. That's fine. That's fine. It's early doors. It's early doors. Next up
1:26
Oh, we're on a train track. Okay. Obviously, it is European somewhere, but where in Europe? I'm not sure. We've got default stop sign
1:36
Here we go. What we got here? I think maybe... Could that be Polish with those sort of symbols
1:44
Yes. Maybe not. Let's go a bit further down the road. Do we have any... We've got some bollards
1:49
Do I recognize the type of bollard? I can't quite remember it
1:57
It's quite thin. Is that Latvia? Does Latvia have thin bollards? I guess it could be Latvian, right
2:04
Maybe not. Looking at the text. No. We're going to go Poland
2:10
Yeah, we're going Poland towards this side. Yeah, let's go for it. Okay
2:15
And he's got it. He's got it. It was Lithuania, not Latvia
2:19
but I think I'm still not too far behind. I probably better going there than, well, six and two threes
2:25
I clicked on the right part of Poland, basically, if I am gonna go ahead and get it wrong
2:29
Okay, I've got some catching up to do as we move into round number three. We are driving on the right
2:35
The sun is in the south. So Northern Hemisphere by that logic
2:41
seeming like somewhere like Mexico, maybe. Can I get past this? What's that plate saying
2:46
Ooh, not really sure. No clues on the car. I don't want to go here. Can I get over to another area or something? I need to yeah, let's get to that sign
2:56
And see if that helps us out at all. We're moving so weird here. Okay, where's my sign gone
3:02
I'm stressing. I'm literally stressing. Let me see this sign then seeing as me other signs gone. How's it looking
3:07
Hurry up, man. It's so slow. The signs left. What happened there? Okay, it's back. It's back right
3:13
Oh what i'm not even sure we're in the americas anymore. No, we're not that's blue. Oh, that was close
3:22
Yeah, I was literally thinking of going to mexico. That's a blue plate d950
3:28
Where are we thinking this could be somewhere like turkey do they have
3:33
Yeah, yeah, yeah Can't be coincidence that we've actually found like d9s and d8s and stuff. Yeah over this side
3:39
Should we just go for it? Let's lock it in Ooh, similar time
3:44
I'm a bit closer. We've shifted things. Heavy damage, actually. We're actually in the lead because of that
3:51
Feeling good about that, considering I was very close to going Mexico anyway. So we've got some Spanish, maybe Portuguese there
3:59
We're by the coast. We have an interesting looking vehicle. Ooh, it's turned into a totally different car
4:05
So we are in Europe. So do we want to go Spain
4:09
by the coast. Hang on. That looks like it could be Spanish. I mean, maybe this is Italy
4:17
but if it was Italy, the plate would be blue on both sides. So I think Spain sounds okay
4:22
Is there any kind of further clues we might get? What's this? Castadel. So it might be like a
4:29
little island somewhere. I'm worried it's like Tenerife because it does have that general vibe
4:34
The sun is right on the east. That doesn't help. Um, wait, wait, wait. I think I just saw
4:39
there was another flag, but it's gone. Shall I go ahead and just throw the guess in? Yes
4:45
let's do it. Okay. Um, we'll go like, we'll go like there. Okay. We can spectate him
4:54
He's also going spin, but a bit more of a specific region. Let's see it. Oh
4:59
ah, okay. It was quite good. Not too bad. I'm quite happy with the guesses that we're actually
5:05
concluding on. I'm saying all kinds of rogue things within the round itself, but we're finalizing in
5:10
good areas. We are still in the lead as well. Okay, we've got a yellow plate on the ground
5:18
Not recognizing that. I was thinking it's a little flag of some sort. He's guessed very early there
5:24
Are we wanting to go Thailand? He's guessed so early. Yeah, let's go Thailand down here. I'm not
5:34
sure it is Thailand, but I was in a bit of a rush. Ah, Cambodia. I'm normally quite good at Cambodia
5:40
as well. Okay, heavy damage there. Normally the Cambodian footage is like lower quality, I thought
5:45
but maybe I'm wrong there. Okay, next up, I think this is South Africa because of the little blue
5:53
So, should we just go early on it? Try and put the pressure on like he did for us. Don't really know
5:58
where to go. That's the trouble. It's so vast. Does it look... There's not many clues. Do you
6:03
know what? Why not? Let's just see what happens. Try and stress him out. Ooh, no, no, no. What's
6:10
he found He going He gone a bit further over I wonder if he found anything that actually useful there I a bit scared about it Let see it Ooh okay Both quite far away but another thousand there
6:25
He's chipping away at me quite severely. I think he just got luckier. I don't think he's particularly found anything
6:30
Next up, um, I don't really know. Sun's in the north, so southern hemisphere
6:38
I'm thinking this is the Americas with the yellow, um, South America, sorry, with the yellow border
6:43
but at this stage could be somewhere in Asia. Let's have a look at this little fella
6:49
I mean, maybe it's like Bolivia, maybe? This kind of seems a little bit Spanish, though
6:54
Ooh, let's get onto these plates are looking. Ooh, I don't know
7:02
There is a sign right there. Let's see it then. Can't read anything
7:08
Okay, that's a that's an Indonesian flag Indonesia's massive I say such rogue things, but then hopefully we do line it up. I guess we go in the middle
7:19
Hedge our bets. Let's go for it. Let's see it then Come on. Nice. Nice. Nice. We needed that high damage
7:26
High damage I was literally gonna go over in like Peru or something
7:34
Okay, next up Ooh, we've got some car bars. I love a couple of car bars. Doesn't narrow it down though at this stage
7:47
It doesn't really look like Guatemala, which I'm normally quite good at. Driving on the right
7:53
I think we saw. This might be a region of Guatemala that I've just not seen before
7:57
to be fair. Come on, get us a bit further down the road, can you? Let's get somewhere new. Look
8:01
at these bollards. Don't recognize them. I'm confused here because like, I'm worried it's
8:05
somewhere over in like Kyrgyzstan or something. Oh, what do we think? I don't know. I need some
8:10
text. I really need some text pronto. Let's see if we can find some. Maybe I should not be going
8:16
Guatemala because that could ruin it for me. Let's see this car. Yeah, that's got a bit more of a
8:25
sort of Kyrgyzstan vibe to it, right? Red. Don't know what that means. I need something a bit more
8:34
conclusive because this will end the game if I go Guatemala and it's over in Asia. Right
8:38
we've got to stuff. We've got to. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. We do not go Guatemala. I think we go
8:42
Kyrgyzstan. Yeah, I've gone for it. Let's see where he's. Oh, my God. He's he's on Panama at
8:50
the moment. He's on Panama. He hasn't found the sign like I did. I've got this. He's gone Guatemala
8:55
He's making the same mistake. Big swing. Yes! Kyrgyzstan! Oh, my goodness
9:06
It's the one I always get wrong. I was talking about Guatemala constantly, but then I managed to find some Cyrillic on a sign
9:12
That was actually thrilling. Told you, Kyrgyzstan is my weakness, my nemesis, Kyrgyzstan
9:16
The good thing about Kyrgyzstan is it's always in the autumn coverage, so it's always going to kind of look drab and dreary
9:21
Yeah, I was close to going to Guatemala, so it could have gone the other way. I kept forgetting to move
9:25
Well, as fun as it is listening to the excuses, we should probably move into the next game
9:29
Jack with a bit of fighting words here. It's my favorite now. Yeah, we are into Zerka's favorite mode here
9:34
I would wish you both very good luck, and let's see if Zerka can make a bit of a comeback here
9:38
Good luck, Zerka HD. Thanks, mate. Back to the geography. Okay, it's a positive start
9:43
It's built up my confidence a little bit, but as we said, this is apparently more Josh's thing than no move
9:49
I have been enjoying my no move recently, though. I've been kind of practicing a little bit more
9:53
So, we've spawned in with green. I've heard about the green
10:03
Oh, hello. Where is that? Oh, no. I'm going to get a flag wrong
10:11
I can't think where that is. Where the hell? Oh, no. I don't know where that is
10:20
Oh, no. That's a great start. I didn't know. Okay, well, we've just lost a lot of health there
10:28
A lot of health. I panicked. I'm not gonna lie. I just, nothing came in. Okay, it set an interesting precedent for the round there
10:35
A bit of catching up is now required. I'm not going to lie. Reefden Goldfields Way
10:42
Is that white? It's kind of got a yellow tint to it. What are we thinking here
10:46
Where's that sun? It's in the north. Southern Hemisphere. So I guess this is Australia then
10:52
Australia, massive landscape. He's gonna know it's Australia. Is there anything that's gonna narrow it down to a more specific region
11:00
Because like, it's so big. Like in theory, I could die here if we're on opposite sides and he gets it correct
11:05
I assume it is Australia. I'm worried that it might be New Zealand, but it definitely looks Australian
11:10
So he's guessed. I guess we go there. Do we want to go there
11:16
Maybe here? let's try it let's see okay similar spots ah a bit closer though not too much damage
11:26
i can take that that's fine all right moving into round number two oh show me that car no clues
11:35
um got a pole there that i'm sure is recognizable to me i would say this was somewhere like
11:42
chile where's that sun it's in the south so northern hemisphere so not chile if we're
11:49
trusting the sun because it's a, is that even the sun? I think it is. Northern hemisphere, not Chile
12:00
Middle of the road. So difficult. Where do I go here? We've got like, um, little interesting
12:05
things by the side of the road, like a little religious thing. I think I'm going to go Mexico
12:10
but I'm, I'm just not confident on it at all. But if I go in like a dry part of Mexico
12:15
surely there's like mountains and stuff around here, right? Are there any mountains in this region? You would think so, but it doesn't seem like much is really showing up. Some mountains
12:24
along here Maybe we go a bit closer to them then Oh I don know Yeah let just make him panic see what happens Where he going to go So He stressed about the sun too I worried because he seems to be down in the south
12:39
Where's he gonna go? He's gone Chile, which is my first instinct
12:43
Oh no, he's changed to Peru. Let's see it then. We're both so far away. Oh my goodness
12:56
okay russia fair enough that's an interesting one next up um this is looking like mexico i think
13:08
yeah are we happy with mexico i think so any clues that yellow plates is that argentina where's the
13:20
sun at? Sun's in the south, northern hemisphere, so stick to, stick to Mexico. Any clues on the
13:27
oh my god, it's the black car bars. Is that, is that Dominican Republic? This is gonna be insane
13:36
if I get this. I might be about to get it wrong. Oh my god, okay. Why not? I think he's got it
13:43
oh he's got it as well, and it is closer. I thought that was gonna be magical
13:47
I've had to get Vermont wrong, but I got that. That was such a nice one. I'm proud of us both there
13:53
Okay. Ooh interesting car here looking like Asia with the tuk-tuks um
14:02
Driving on the left Driving on the left is this Africa. I see there's a black person in the distance
14:10
um yeah it is africa and we're driving on the left so is it somewhere like senegal maybe
14:19
because it seems it doesn't seem english and we're driving no no no driving on the left wouldn't be
14:26
senegal would it don't let me make these terrible mistakes is this going to be an area of kenya
14:30
maybe because i know they have a variety of of google cars could be kenya maybe uganda is there
14:36
any more clues. Table salt, drinking water. So it is kind of, there is a bit of English going on
14:42
when you look closer. He is guest. I'm happy with Kenya, I think, because there's just a bit of
14:49
variety to the, does it look built up? Not really. Let's go Kenya. Let's go like there. Why not
14:56
Sort of the middle. All right. How's it looking? Mombasa. And he is closer, but he's not really
15:04
done much damage to me since that round one, but I've barely dented his damage annoyingly
15:09
Ooh, um, what is that? Are we in New Zealand right now? I think we're in New Zealand because
15:17
of the bollards. Yeah, he's guess, he knows it. So it's just a bit of a game of luck. So I have
15:25
been to New Zealand and North Island did have some terrain like this. So yeah, go for it. Why
15:33
not let's see it okay nice and we've actually uh yeah we've got the 1.6 damage so we're doing a bit
15:41
of something this is going closer than i thought honestly i thought josh would just have these in
15:45
the bag oh okay nice spot europe because of the little blue uh but we're in europe got some nice
15:53
housing down there this is a tough one what kind of vibe are we getting i kind of feel like i need
16:00
to just go in the middle of Europe and hope for the best, but these kind of nice red roofs
16:04
where would that be? Maybe somewhere like Switzerland or Austria, yeah? He's dropped the
16:15
guess. It's just nice, isn't it? Looks lovely. Let's go Luxembourg. Yeah, it's a bit of a wild
16:26
one, but why not? Okay. Oh, quite close, but there we go. He did still damage me. All right
16:35
move into the next round. We have a traffic gun. That's a bit of fun. Where's that sun? Is that
16:41
the sun? No, there's the big daddy. Okay. It's in the West, so it's not very helpful, but it is
16:45
Northwest. So let's assume Southern Hemisphere. Do we want to go Brazil because of this dirt
16:50
and we don't have like a Kenyan car. Yeah, hang on. That might be a sign
16:59
So that would suggest we're driving on the right, which is Brazilian. There, why not
17:05
Okay, where's he thinking? Let's see. He's got the whole map open
17:09
Look at him. Look at his little character. Oh, might have a big swing. Oh, no, no
17:14
He's going not too far away from me. Let's see it. Go on
17:19
Nice. This is good. Yes. It's still ahead though. Okay. Next one. Hello. Any, any cool, not much there
17:31
Um, it's kind of like a little US sign. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
17:36
I thought that was like Korean for a moment. Hollywood open. Doesn't seem like there's a plate there. We are driving on the right. That's a pretty US
17:49
looking vehicle. US is massive though. That's the trouble. The water doctor. Davies contracting
17:54
Rotten egg smell. Well, guys, if anyone in the US is struggling with rotten egg, call the water
18:00
doctor. Sorry, I'm getting distracted. We are going to guess, I think when there's less plates
18:06
it's often in the south. So South Carolina? Why not? Oh, we both guessed it very similar times
18:15
I got the state right Oh, we're actually like properly in the lead now 2.5 times damage though
18:23
So I can't slip up because it could kill me. All right. Let's see it
18:27
Where are we here? Oh my okay. The sun's in the south. So we go northern hemisphere. We're driving on the right
18:35
Quite long plates, I think Um No signs anywhere
18:44
I worried that it Australia but I don think it is I think it gonna be one of the Arab countries So I want to go United Arab Emirates or Oman maybe I could see myself going with Oman It like where there not
18:56
really anything going on. Yeah, there's not really anything going on there. Should we try that? I
19:01
think Oman might have a different kind of car. Do you know what? Go with your instincts, Jack. Why
19:07
not? All right. Where's he on? Currently, he hasn't really locked anywhere in. Oh, oh no. I think
19:15
this is about to be it for me. I think he's pretty good at recognizing these regions. We've done it
19:23
We have done it. That was intense. I had a lot to recover from after that round one
19:27
Another nail matter. This was so intense. The way I can have my weakness more and more over here
19:31
The big clue there for the Middle East was of course the yellow outer lines on that highway
19:35
I didn't even see them. But hey, we both got Dominican Republic. Yeah, that was impressive
19:40
Vermont was just simply the signs of Vermont. Yeah, I missed that. When he spawned in
19:44
it said Vermont in front of you. Oh no, Jack. I'm panicked. I don't know what was going on
19:48
I like the new feature though where I can like, I was spectating him and I'm looking, he's looking at the flag and I'm like
19:52
oh no. Okay, we're going to move to NMPZ for the last one
19:57
Zerka, you have lost the series but you can still gain your honour back by beating Jack on NMPZ
20:01
So let's see how it goes. It's the hardest one to do it. You got this. You got this
20:05
Don't worry. I'm not saying good luck. There's no good luck for me on the final game. That's how it goes
20:09
Okay, NMPZ is an interesting one. Wow, he must have this in the bag. I do not know what to do with this. Um, I
20:18
I just don't know where to go. I'm thinking like I I don't know i'm looking at this building and i'm thinking is this like some nice area of cambodia or is it like a nice area
20:33
It almost looks a bit like machu picchu anything that we can go on here. It's got a lot of different vibes
20:38
It's got like a bit of a mediterranean vibe a bit of a sort of cambodian temple vibe a bit of a
20:44
Peru vibe. I just don't know. I guess it's looks more of an asian temple to me. I'm gonna go for it
20:50
Okay, let's go to like a famous area. I don't know any famous areas of cambodia. Let's go like out here somewhere
20:58
A really weird one. Let's see what oh, where was he thinking? Okay, he's gone in here as well
21:02
Any that's great from him to be fair. That's a great start actually getting the country is impressive
21:09
Okay, next up we have some yellow lines with some white in the middle and I just I really need the sun in these kind of rounds because this has me
21:17
Stressed I can't really tell which direction we're going either, which is very essential. Oh man
21:22
I don't know. I'm thinking it's over here, but where I don't know. It's a nice looking road, isn't it? It's like good quality
21:29
What do I want to do? Get down here somewhere? It's just such nice quality
21:33
We've got some mountains in the distance. Yeah, we're going to go Columbia
21:37
They've got mountains. They've got mountains in the south. So we're going to go like there
21:43
And let's drop the guess in. Okay, where's he thinking? I'm really curious to see
21:48
No clues as of yet. Oh, okay. He's going totally different region
21:53
So one of us is going to take a lot of damage. He's gone South Africa. This is not looking good for me
21:58
I'm worried about this. Oh, it was Eswatini. Oh, that's a lot of damage
22:03
A lot of damage. Okay. It's just such good coverage, but fair enough. I do not know what I'm talking about
22:09
We have a little teeny tiny blue plate there, I think. So hopefully it can't go too badly wrong here
22:16
No real clues other than that that I can see. I guess the white buildings are a bit of a Mediterranean thing, maybe
22:22
We know it's not Italy because of the plate. It could be Spain. Maybe not Portugal because sometimes Portugal have like yellow or something
22:29
it could be, it could be Turkey. Should we go Greece? I don't really know why, but that's what
22:37
I'm going with because of the white buildings, I guess. Okay. He's gone Portugal. I discounted
22:41
Portugal. Oh, I'm having a terrible game, but we have already won. Okay. Right. Looks like
22:48
I think that's a Canadian flag. Maybe. I guess it could be a US flag, couldn't it? I think that's
22:55
a Canadian flag. So, I mean, it's so massive though. I mean, this might be game over for me
23:01
Let's go. Let's go Winnipeg. I don't really know why. Yeah, there you go. Let's see it. How's it
23:08
looking? Nice. I really, really needed that. I really needed that. That's a pretty good guess
23:14
for me. I wonder if he saw the flag. You'll have to go over to his perspective and see what his
23:17
thought process was. Oh, very, very red dirt here. It almost looks too red for Brazil, but I feel
23:24
like brazil does have a lot of areas like this let's just guess early because i'm not gonna get
23:28
much else yeah there you go why not okay oh he's also going brazil so let's see who's closer
23:34
one damage that's so funny curious what zigzag thinks about that round i wonder if he got that
23:41
one all right um like russia yeah let's just go russia in moscow why not let's go quite central
23:49
there you go let's see what he thinks uh oh okay right nice nice could it be a comeback on the cards
24:01
we're gonna have to play really well for a lot of rounds okay um
24:07
um where do i want to go here can't really tell a driving direction i guess
24:14
we're on the right. The reddish dirt makes me want to go with Kenya somewhere. So let's just
24:20
start trying to pile the pressure on a little bit more. Let's go there. Okay, he's zooming in
24:25
to Kenya as well, I think. Or he's not sure. Oh, he's gone the other way. This might be it for me
24:31
Let's see it. Oh no. Oh no. Oh, that's it for me, right? Yeah, that's it for me. Great game
24:40
Great game. Good game. We really celebrate winning when you're like five countries away
24:45
Well, at least you're not six countries away. What did I miss in the Canada one? That was impressive
24:49
