2019 CTWC Classic Tetris Rd. 3 - Part 2 - BATFOY/MATT MARTIN + KORYAN/TERRY

[@Jellylamps]

Who else is proud of Koryan’s English?

[@fishflake1209]

Greentea is fluent, and SQR apparently acts as his translator, so I guess it’s been rubbing off on him.

[@wohlhabendermanager]

Tbh, it takes a lot of courage to talk in front of a crowd in a language you are not really fluent in. Hats off to Koryan!

[@TheWingsofValmar]

Who*

[@delockich]

I remember the translation of him was shocking last year. So cool i could just listen to him this Year :) Koryan !

[@burnt_lamp]

@@delockich I remember that translator. He kept talking to Koryan in English and then Koryan had to just say the stuff in English himself

“I play a few times a month” - Batfoy

[@balbar_b]

i usually dont play that much, usually just a couple ummmm few times a month

[@HeyyItsDaleVODS]

After watching the Joseph v Green Tea match everything just feels meaningless. That was one of the greatest rounds ive seen. Hoping Batfoy pulls through. Amazed seeing such a young player.

[@markoftheland3115]

I'm just hoping greentea wins next year

[@HeyyItsDaleVODS]

@@markoftheland3115 i didnt keep up with the live streams so I havent been aware of who won what until the videos come out. I assumed green tea wouldn't make it though, such a shame. Easily my favourite competitor. But Batfoy has me nearly as impressed as Jospeh did last year. Its astounding how young some of these high level players are.

[@markoftheland3115]

@@HeyyItsDaleVODS Yeah, I too missed the live event, but got a spoiler reading the ctwc wikipedia entry afterwards :( I didn't pay much attention to batfoy's game, but considering how far he got now, probably should do it in the next games

[@Jack_80]

@@markoftheland3115 i wanted him to win so bad this year and after the first round against joseph i thought he might actually pull it off.

[@mikedenby6771]

Yeah, Joseph vs Green Tea was epic. Just feels like Joseph will crush any of these guys.

[@aSongScout]

43:30 they didn't edit it out haha

[@jogr2]

Yes

[@joakinfrati7867]

Batfoy has sick burns so smart, he doesnt need to hypertap, he plays so save and flat

[@TCYlol]

he doesnt hypertap tho

[@KwakeSlayer]

Maybe he likes to burn because he doesn’t like playing with fire

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

Batffoy has more tucks than a drag show at a cabaret.

[@stereorich]

I'm so glad I found this whole world of competitive Tetris last year. There's something magical about an inherently simple game that can be so complicated and actually take stamina to compete in. Chess can be complicated but you're not dealing with moving pieces within a fraction of a second for minutes on end. I hope this continues to grow and become a major e-sport someday.

[@Alvin_Vivian]

"I thought I was going to face Jonas in the 2nd round." -- Batfoy BURN!!!

[@pauletah101]

Batfoy really avenge the fallen for me. He ousted Megaretroman, who defeated Jonas. He also eliminated Matt who took out Harry and Matt Buco. lol

[@blinkofan3ye]

so am I getting this pattern right.. does that mean, he'll get eliminated by Koryan, because nobody has defeated him yet? :o no jk ^^' let's see how it'll turn out, it's so interesting, I'm really hyped about that match😌

Batfoy is hilarious and he was so nervous in the interview omg poor baby. He is crazily talented!

[@chetmanley8755]

Man, by next year when Batfoy has the rookie jitters gone and he can loosen up a bit, he's gonna be a killer

[@slamalamadingdangdongdiggy5268]

With more practice than once a month, he could be an amazing contester for the champion spot.

[@rungeon83]

@@slamalamadingdangdongdiggy5268 Seriously if he could practise like a normal human being... he'd stop being a human being.

[@RevengeFNF]

Only if he learns how to Hypertap.

[@xenotypos]

Yeah, I think he could at least become someone who's the real deal such as Koryan or Green Tea, and who knows, maybe reach Joseph one day (even if it seems like an impossible feat, he's really the ultimate cyborg).

[@FBIAgent-bs9ie]

Haha... next year...yeah

[@jezusghoti]

Good showing for Matt but sorry to say I'm 100% Batfoy Nation

[@Tafkas-x9t]

Japan ftw!

[@mikedenby6771]

I like Matt's clean play-style. If could play to this level, I'd play like Matt.

[@wohlhabendermanager]

22:34 This right there is my favorite sequence from Batfoy. Tough situation, but he handles it really well. I never would have thought of using the pieces the way he did. Even putting that J-piece to the right is a move that's not easy to see. I propably would have put it on top of the O-Block and it would have been all downhill from there, because then I would have been forec to put the Zs all the way to the left and the board would've looked more and more ugly. But he ends up with a very clean board after these three pieces. Great play! The follwing S-burst is a bit unfortunate, though.

[@rolftehezomg]

I don’t think I saw Batfoy miss a single flip/ tuck! Amazing consistency. Looking forward to the finals.

[@rolftehezomg]

Missed flip at 4:05 on reflection. Big fan of the creativity and quick solves of a tricky stack. Really well exemplified at 21:28. Very similar to how Jonas can see which piece(s) he needs to get back to scoring Tetris’s quickly. Incredibly entertaining style and confidence in his own timing! 👍🏼

[@danielhicks4826]

Hes also very good at recovering from the mis drops that he does have instead of collapsing or freaking out he remains calm and clears it then resumes Tetrises ready play.And not a hyper tapper! doesn't need to be either.

[@froggofrance]

I love seeing the awkward newcomers during their interviews, their answers are so much funnier with the nervousness lol

[@pauletah101]

To those who are new, Batfoy is a DAS player not hypertapper 15:59. James Chen realized in the semifinals.

[@Sevicify]

Ah that makes sense now, I thought it was strange he didn't attempt that 29 kill screen if he was hyper tapping.

[@awerawer0708]

@@Sevicify To be fair, joseph is the only hyper tapper that consistently tries after the kill screen

[@pauletah101]

@@awerawer0708 Richard too.

[@fishflake1209]

Matt caught my eye as he was warming up for his Round 0 match, playing extremely clean on level 19. He had been the beneficiary of some early topouts to reach the Final 8, so I wasn’t sure how well he’d fare after transition in competition. Suffice to say, he performed admirably, even though he came up a little short.

[@dervertica]

fishflake1209 He went to a killscreen once in the qualifier final though

[@PunkNDisorderlyGamer]

Koryan looking like Mr. Miyagi teaching the young talent and Batfoy is Danielsan.

[@wohlhabendermanager]

Rotate, right hand. Tap insanely fast, left hand.

[@Julian_orwell]

Batfoy actually seems more a Jonas in the making. Consistent, very composed DAS player, creative and with high variety of tucks, spins and moves.

[@Tafkas-x9t]

Might be my fav vid so far...... started watching beginning this year and im absolutely hooked.... epic plays, tucks and stuf and fun commentary.... absolutely love it and i hope it grows big and fast!

[@hayabusa8314]

It's okay...I was expecting Batfoy to face Jonas as well. XD

[@CDolph296]

So the semifinals are three kids and Koryan, who might be older than the sum of their three ages

[@PeterJavi]

It's very close, the three combined are 7 years older than Koryan. Then to be fair, Koryan has more Tetris experience than all of them combined, so it evens out.

[@derekconwaygd]

I’ve been following batfoy since he started and I knew he would get here from his amazing ctm performances. Amazing play from all of them

[@HafizhDary]

I came here just for watching the interview one more time. That was some hilarious interviews XD

[@aenstreams1998]

Honestly, before this tournament started I had Koryan and Joseph in the final (barring an earlier round match up). So proud that Koryan is the last veteran still standing! He's definitely one of the greatest to ever play the game! Matt played a hell of a round to start but I think Batfoy's ability to focus under pressure was ultimately the deciding factor. Well done Batfoy! So excited for the next round to see how this all shakes out for the final!

[@jooywoo]

33:39 Batfoy got skill

[@jooywoo]

35:33 Matt

[@jmerey]

Fingers crossed for anything close to the last action. Koryan in the final for old time’s sake?

[@charlesdomain9196]

Wow! Batfoy is really consistent, he transitions almost every game.

[@xenotypos]

Yeah. And high level in this game is more about consistency than single time performances (approximative english) in one or two matches.

[@saltycycling]

Oh, man... Congrats to Matt. I feel like he didn't get enough coverage during the tournament. Seed 27, eliminated Harry Hong, eliminated Buco, made it to the quarterfinals just to loose to Batfoy who eventually finished 3rd overall in a very, very even match. Definitely underrated.

[@casper3424]

I feel batfoy just image comming to a tourement for fun and expecting to be like top32 and getting all this attention

[@marshallpeters7174]

Kind of like Joseph last year.

[@LangleyNA]

[@TheDantheman12121]

30:03 calls him Fatboy.

[@McNasty_0]

I love both Batfoy and Matt's playstyles and I really wanted to see them both progress, but I was really rooting for Matt. His style is so clean and when he needs to be aggressive, he can really go in, as see from those center well Tetrises past level 18. But most importantly, I'm always rooting for the underdog, and it was crazy how the 27th seeded player could make it into top 8, so I had to keep rooting for him.

What a masterclass in tetris from some fresh faces, really nice to see

[@Piratejackyar]

I really like Terry. He is one of the most aggressive players out there. Unfortunately he takes it too far sometimes, like he did here.

[@fishflake1209]

He kept the aggression under control in the previous two rounds to great effect, but he didn’t have that luxury against Koryan.

[@TheJFerg24]

He was on a torrid pace in round 3, but got RNG'd at the end.

[@ADrInOlSa]

Terry with his typical hand gesture after Koryan's speech, did it as well last year for Joseph's first lvl 30 live

[@spoopybeta]

When I imagine a tetris grandmaster, I vivdly imagine koryan. Anyone else? No? Just me? Okay..

it looked like koryan was drunk at the end of that last round, he has 3 or 4 misdrops in a row.

[@asgasdg09a8sd]

Batfoy was so close to losing game 4 wow

[@sichaoyang2196]

And he was also close to winning game 3, forming a balance... I think he miscalculated the score. He just gave up upon the kill screen, hadn't even tried to get one more line.

[@skins4thewin]

Wow, Koryan's English has gotten a lot better! You can tell he's a really smart dude!

[@solidus4prez]

The big problem with pushing down: if you're not on maxout rate, all it means is you'll hit the killscreen faster

[@mmaisking1]

I just started watching and playing Tetris and its amazing! I always knew about Tetris and had played it a few times as a kid, but now that im older its way more fun. I really hope this thing gets bigger and more people get into it! I feel like possibly the commentators need to be at a soundproof booth or somewhere where the competitors can not hear them though. I really enjoy the commentary but I feel like it can and does mess the competitors up a little bit and influences the way they play sometimes.
