Feels like that was the final though. Ferdi and Matej Shoulda been put in different sides of the bracket imo

DAMN. Ferdi Matej game is def a top5 slvsh game in my opinion, screamin semen sw front flip was nutty. Shoutout zahner for a helluva reffed game, buncha difficult calls that were called proper

All time game for sure, definitely one of the best ever. And I thought Zahner did an excellent job judging, very consistent with good reasoning on calls.

no question it was a sick game, but i def feel robbed after kuura losing his matchup, ferdi getting out in semis and now having 2 skiers that were predicted to do well in this anyway, doing well in it.

For sure one of the best slvsh games ever. Absolutely ridiculous tricks being set and matched. The games that are more single trick focused rather than long lines are so much more enjoyable imo. Big fan of zahners judging too. Kept it consistent, held reasonably high standards, and offered solid explanations for all his decisions. Should be a good finals

The first rounds were definitely a bit stilted, but they do seem to be going along better now. The part I thought they'd struggle with was the graphics but they're pretty much perfect, even got side-by-side going for the replays.

Live SLVSH is dope, def moving slow so it’s good to see they have a plan to end it because it can go on forever.

Here’s a thought: how about 3 skiers per game instead of 2. That way you’d have 3 guys all playing each other, 3 ladies playing each other, and it might fill the time slot pretty well having 2 less athletes. And if they want to do medals, you’d have a 1st 2nd and 3rd. Do qualifiers to get into it. Boom. It would take some tweaking on how letters are given in a 3 person game, but I think it could be figured out.

Woodsy is a fantastic live anouncer, as expected. Woodsy and Tom living up to the level of Luke Van Valen imo.

Seemed like they wanted to keep Max & Jesper playing but got shutdown to go into OT so they made up that rule on the spot. If the resort closes and the games tied it resumes the next day, understand it's a different circumstance but the trivia crack made Max lose the game.

Still really enjoyed the live format, hope to see it again with the option to go into OT.

No one talking about Grand Valira here yet?

Just got back from a trip and have watched the first three games. All super sick. The last one with max and Tommy everyone seemed so fried I loved it. Trick selection was good too. The Noah Aleksi game was dope, all the safety slides and hand drags were refreshing after the first game.

Good shit so far excited to watch the rest.

In the Noah vs. Aleksi game I thought It was pretty wack that Aleksi got 4 letters from safety slides. Seems like Noah only called safety slides.

Huge undeserved hate train going on. We all know that's how Noah skis and it's why we love watching him. He's put his time into perfecting his unique style instead of learning the same dubs that every comp skier does. Aleksi even said at the start of the game, Noah is a big idol of his. I was really stoked to watch Aleksi try to do Noah's tricks. With the way SLVSH/SKATE works these tricky games are bound to happen. The beauty of it is seeing the best skiers try things they aren't used to.
No one had this reaction when Jonah W used a beautiful selection of really technical, stylish small spins that most people don't practice to win against that Fagan twin.

Aleksi got one and was pretty close to getting the others that were called. Not that whack, it's not like it was a super sketch dangerous trick he was getting him on. I like watching skiers try out different styles and trying stuff they wouldn't normally do. I'm not even a big Noah fan, but he and slvsh are getting way to much hate on this.

Honestly I agree that Noah and slvsh are getting too much hate, it's pretty fucked up how many comments on every video are bitching, but if I'm keeping it a buck it was pretty objectively a bad game. Double trivia crack means the trick selection disparity is off the charts and when a game is decided with rock paper scissors it's not that entertaining to watch.

People have every right to speak up. Calling the same trick for 95% of the entire tournament is bullshit.
