Thank you for listening to the community, this is a very welcome response!
I think with this decision, GeoGuessr has also set a powerful example for the larger eSports world.
Proud to be a part of this community!
We will not participate in the EWC.
Message from CEO & co-founder below:
Hi everyone,
I’ve seen your reactions over the past few days regarding our decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh. When we made that decision, it was with positive intentions. To engage with our community in the Middle East and to spread GeoGuessr’s core mission of let everyone Explore the World.
Since Erland, Anton, and I founded GeoGuessr in 2013, we’ve always strived to be a community-first game. Everyone here at the Stockholm office is a passionate GeoGuessr fan, doing our best to build something meaningful, with you and for you. That said, you - our community - have made it clear that this decision does not align what GeoGuessr stands for.
So, when you tell us we’ve got it wrong we take it seriously. That’s why we’ve made the decision to withdraw from participating in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh.
We will come back with information on how the wildcards will be distributed as soon as possible.
Thank you for speaking up and sharing your thoughts.
/Daniel
The worst part about the World Cup, just like last year, is that now that it's done I don't get to meet most of the (100s of) amazing people I met for at least another year, if not forever
Time to click some maps
WE GO LIVE ON FRIDAY🤯
Here's the groups for this weekends tournament. Who will make it to the World Cup and who will claim the title of Asia & Pacifics first regional champion?👀
SEE YOU 10:00 UTC ON FRIDAY🫡

Long awaited Mongolia Street View Update is here!

Terrible news, hoping for the best for those affected
If only @KiribatiGov got Google Street View so we could virtually visit Poland, Paris, London and Banana...
Long awaited but it's finally here! Looking forward to recording and uploading my competitive games in the next season! Also happy to see ACW being used, a lot of us are hard at work updating the map!
Was super fun making the daily challenge and thank you for the positive feedback on it! I made a video discussing how I selected the locations for it! Go check it out: youtu.be/2stg7qscZcY
Kicking off the last month of the year with even more fun stuff!

Big news! youtu.be/wCqwH0472UA?si=vrNX… @YouTubeより
The whole world cup event has been so much fun, from playing to meeting everyone.. big thanks to GeoGuessr for putting it together and inviting me, and if any of you I met took a photo with me do send it to me! Also super proud of Consus, such a talented and humble guy
Today's games should be insane.. a bit unfortunate to go out in the most Pepega way but was a good run, can't complain, also don't need to worry about facing all the monsters in the quarters hahaha
My discord and I have been working for months on a casual gameplay-friendly GeoGuessr map full of interesting and breathtaking locations. The map is now public and everyone is welcome to contribute more locations to it in my discord! geoguessr.com/maps/64eb69e1d…
If you would like to see some behind the scenes mapmaking I have been making youtube videos of the map-making process. Here is the latest video: youtu.be/hR_DZCEm-nI?feature…
