love this format
That game was great. The end was a mail biter. Danya and Robert pulled it out. Yayyyyyyy
Make the Hikaru Levy Geez!
Danya’s energy bruh 😂
Poor levy looks like hikaru made all the poor decision
Damn, Hikaru found 14h3 (top computer move and unintuitive as hell) and Levy talked himself out of it 😭
Amazing! Thanks for the good games!
Gooodddddam this shit was awesome
Danya begging Hess not to take the repetition and screaming everytime they were in time trouble was really peak content
Love to see it
The sinergi of Hess and Dania is out of this world! Such a great match!!!
It is so good to have chefs available. lol.

Good games. Very fun event 😊
Hikaru handled the loss with a surprising amount of maturity. Well done to him and Levy.
Daniel “the prophet” Naroditsky and Robert “the Hess hampion” Hess are a powerful duo.
I've never seen a more wholesome team than Danya & Robert 🔥
I cried when levy lost
Hikaru So busy to eat.. He forgot everything, we was playing him vs pasta
I think Danya were more linked with Hess than Hikaru with Levy
i think daniel took chess it boring statement personal
This is by far the most exciting format in chess right now. I was rooting for Batman and Robin, but Danya and Hess definitely had the eye of the tiger in this match-up; they were playing to kill!
Hikaru was definitely the weakest link.
Bro thinks hes Hikaru really brought down Levy
God im sorry Hikaru is just a Savant at chess man!!! his knowledge is otherworldly ahah
He sacks the ROOOOOOKKKKKK! 1:45:08
Never been rooting for someone in a chess match as much as been rooting for Team Danya/Hess tonight. Go Sensei!
TEAM CHESS IS HERE TO STAY BABY, THIS WAS LEGENDARY
1:57:16 So intence moment. I love the energy, the synergy. Best game I've ever watched. But I will say one controversial opinion, I didn't like the emojis by Dany. The stockfish was good, but other ones were distracting.❤❤❤
Hess immediately post-game going "I hated every second of that" is the real chess experience
Broo, The Japanese guy thinks in seconds 10 moves ahead…?!??
The Iconic match of streamers V commentators
Kramik watching the whole stream: very interesting! That accuracy…
Insane game
They should have never saced the rook.
Levy never wins anything.
1:56:59 "they might make a draw" that is not the cloth Hess and Danya are cut from!
Probably the most Iconic team match there will ever be. Streamers V No chess without Hess and bullet king
Insane final game! So tense, great to watch.
Hikaru showing up late not taking this seriously. I do not blame Levy , Hikaru head was not in the game.
Great job, you guys! My favorite team moves to the final. Let's go!!!!!
Hikaru and Levi forgot to realize they can't spell chess without HESS
That was thrilling
Danny is the best. Love the move icons
That was the most exciting match I’ve seen in my 7 years of watching chess. Sooooo happy for Danya and Robert and good luck in the final
Sad that levy lost
First
Levy doesn't look too happy in the end
Please do not put those emojis on the board, it’s very distracting
man I just love getting to listen in on the comms between Danya and Hess, they ping pong ideas and lines back and forth in such an impressive way
Love the emotes on the board Danny
Hikaru was just throwing this lol
He's like "free money"
I don't know if I've seen a single video where Hikaru wasn't eating.
