Winner of pogchamps should face chess world cup champion for the super cup.
5:44:21 ~One Hail Mary move that only GMs, the savants of chess would find.~ Ludwig
Looks like frank needs more practice
frank jokes aside, congrats to cdaWg 🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
What does she say at 3:16:31? Sounds like she insulted him, also she sounds drunk, and then the other dude just made fun of his hairline. What a bunch of cowards.
We should have had Wirtual vs Cdawg and QT vs Frank.
Nice to see someone put Frank in the trash where he belongs
4:49:15 Ludwig: "chess isn't fun"
Levy: "no, it's not."
That was the most earnest sounding remark ive ever heard out of gotham lol
Wirtual played amazing
2:13:01
As a chess player with a peak USCF rating of 1992 I took that personally.
Hess is my favorite commentator so it's great to have him
Luds background in smash commentating is so obvious here he’s really good
LETS GO CONNOR
This was so intense! It was like watching Light Yagami eat a potato chip!
I felt like CDawg had a whole anime monologue going on in his head. 🤣
Tyler be T I Lted. 🤣
Tylers Rage is so on brand. 🤣
Yeah!!! CDAWG CLUTCH!!! WHOOOO!!! AAAA!!!
Not going to lie. When the match is live in person, and the players talk. I wish the commentators would fill the dead air. Not talk all the damn time.
5:37:57 Ludwig made the ultimate prediction of pogchamps 5, truly a luddy moment
The man came through 🙌
I'm so happy to see Frank fan's inhaling copium right now, it's glorious.
frank oughta get spanked by his mom

Wirtual (W-t-L) is the best!
Damn, That's Crazy.
Game 1 starts at 43:00
What a finals! We could all see how much respect the two players had for each other, as well as how hard they fought and played in these matches for the crown. Congratulations CDawg, I hope you enjoy your shiny trophy!
And to Future GM Frank: Don't let this match discourage you, all superheros face off against supervillains like CDawg, and failure and loss is just a steppingstone that makes future success more impactful and important.
Congrats to frank! Can’t believe he sweeped cdawg!
The whole thing, Game 1 especially, was a roller coaster of emotions. I felt each blunder in my soul
Congrats to Cdawg and a hell of a fight from Frank the Tank!!
Props to levys tongue that helps him taste the chess pieces
Hi
3:16:30 that was tough roast. Levy is crying inside
Frank is the people’s champion
I was gonna fall asleep to this. Now it's 2 am and my blood pressure is through the roof
Connor had to work for that W
frank is so insufferable
31:15 ah yes the charlie vs moist crtical match
Charlie clones himself, truly a charlie moment of all time
3:27:51

wtff hshahah 5:38:19

6:18:12
Does this mean Wirtual has made more money playing chess than he has playing Trackmania?
CDawgVA pulled the same kind of trick that 5up used in PogChamps 4. If I'm not mistaken, Ludwig predicted that move too
3:08:56 💀
5:29:40 I feel very blind here. What's the trap?

( 6:17:10 ) FINAL INTERVIEW W/ THE CHAMPIONS
Sadly, there wasn’t a Final Champion VS Consolation Champion Match
At 1:02:31 I think Wirtual could've simply kept pushing the pawn to a7 right away. If the King blocks the path by going to a8, Wirtual can move Bishop c6 CheckMate. If the King moves away instead (trying to escape), Wirtual can make a Queen.
2:47:45 bro has no clue what salvia is lmfaoooo, id much rather c0ke than salvia
Greek gift Pogchamps style 😁
Frank v. CDawg games 3-4 just hurt… so much.
I love the dynamic between Levy and Ludwig at the champions final. "My guy can totally take your guy" 😂
