For me this just show that a DAS tournament should still keep being hosted. Since nowdays 29 is no longer the killscreen, the anxaety of having a barrier is something that give us those exciting endings.

[@gabrielbarrantes6946]

Yeah, infinite gameplay will be an issue soon enough, so probably will be another increment if speed added at some point.

[@frodododo]

@@gabrielbarrantes6946 increased speed isnt possible, level 29 NTSC already moves a space every frame, literally impossible to go faster than that without moving multiple spaces per frame which would be terrible for multiple reasons. The current idea floating around is a level/line cap, where after you get to a certain level (current favourite is 49), you have to top out, if the super long games become a problem

[@tree4104]

@@frodododo I just hope we see like an hour long game before a rule like this is implemented, would be so crazy to watch.

[@frodododo]

@@tree4104 sadly hour long games arent really feasible for the in person events especially, since the tournaments are on a time limit

[@daxolotl-]

@@frodododo CTM is going to be testing a double killscreen tournament soon. I believe they will implement it at level 49, the speed is going to be double of level 29.

[@iheartskeeder5830]

Tetris should be like swimming. Compete with different strokes/playstyles, and have a freestyle competition for all styles. Funny enough, in swimming the freestyle competition became so dominated by front crawl that we now just call that stroke freestyle, and Tetris will probably be the same way with rolling haha

[@aGameScout]

good comparison!

[@ngc_man25]

This match was an instant classic, and was one of the highest scoring DAS battles of all time. Truly epic!

[@thomasdalton1508]

There have been double maxouts with DAS before, right? How is this among the highest scoring with no maxouts?

[@ngc_man25]

@@thomasdalton1508 If you total the scores of both players for the entire set, it is probably the highest scoring DAS match of all time. If you scale it down to reflect the fact that it was a best of 7 instead of a best of 5 (aka, multiply by 5/7), it still probably places top 3. Also, there have been VERY few double DAS maxouts in competition. I don't know of the exact number but it is probably somewhere around 10 times ever.

[@eee_inn2658]

I don't even need to watch the video to know the finals recap will be amazing. The match was just that incredible to watch.

Quaid's reaction on the right at 4:03 is just priceless

[@MickaelBNeron]

Almost 30 years ago, I still remember my grandma playing this on her NES. At that time I thought it was such a boring game.

[@adriankwapisz6160]

Matches like this and Eliwa vs Mark showed what excitement and surprise a DAS match can bring. It was amazing to experience the tournament live. Also, 0:08 - getting featured near the very start of your video is my new Tetris career highlight xD

[@f1championyoutube2.09]

That last Game was amazing. Those digs by Adam. Wow

[@marcomalabarba3556]

Great analysis! I'm so glad I was there, so many great matches, but the final was just unbelievable and the atmosphere was so electric, I really don't know how the Adam and Schnecke could play so well in that environment and under so much pressure I hope there will be many das tournament in the future, the fact that a single mistake/wrong piece can end the game creates so much hype

[@friday_witch]

holy crap. You couldn't have asked for a more hype finals matchup. Thanks for sharing this with us, scoutface! :D

[@aadfg0]

Jonas could've won based on the scores, just goes to show how good he was with DAS and how much he had to push in CTWC 2020.

[@swidr5626]

I think it is more complex than that given the same seed used for CTWC is significantly different to the GYM one we used here. Adam got 6 maxouts in the quals which is insane for any DAS player, while Schnecke got 3 and Sidnev Tugi and Mark got 2, with Quaid getting 1, but there were no maxes in this match. We simply don't really know how well would Jonas perform but for sure him facing Adam would be an absolutely insane matchup..

[@thomasdalton1508]

@@swidr5626 The piece sets are designed to have the same distribution as the original RNG, aren't they?

[@swidr5626]

@@thomasdalton1508 It's impossible to do really since the way alghoritm works (i believe) depends on the way you stack, and handle the pieces or other things that can't be reproduced if you want seed to be the same for both players. So in practice rng works differently in fixed-seed games, but it's close enough. Many times as a both ref and player i noticed fixed seeds are usually trickier to play with

[@tuginwho]

I'd say it's important to keep in mind that Jonas was likely aiming for scores higher than players in CTWC DAS simply because he was facing the best tappers in the world in his run at CTWC 2020, while the players here are only competing against other DAS players. DAS players generally don't score their highest comp scores against other DASers because in all honestly consistent scores in the 800k-1mil range will win you almost ever game in DAS vs DAS.

[@thomasdalton1508]

@@swidr5626 Yes, but that doesn't actually affect the gameplay at all. You get different pieces than you would have done with the original ROM, but the same is true if you had just waited a second longer to start the game. The probability distribution is still the same.

[@michutetris6502]

DAS will eventually separate and create one of the disciplines. Unforgettable experience to watch this phenomenal game sitting next to those guys. (and commentate ;) )

[@bigwildcat2020]

Classic Tetris will be like competitive swimming in the future, with DAS, TAP, ROLL as separate disciplines.

[@ThinkAboutVic]

Fun fact: The DAS World Cup had the first ever appearance of a Turkish player in any live Classic Tetris tourney! (Eren's half-Turkish but he's only appeared in online CTWC's.)

[@vandypants]

For those who thought being Turkish was a barrier to playing high level Tetris, this refutes them once and for all!

[@ErenMichelet]

Sargan is excellent so I’m glad he got the chance to go! I also went to the northeast qualifier a week ago, which was a week after the CTWC Das tourney, so now there’s 2!

[@bltvd]

The DAS World Championships is the Tetris equivalent to the Special Olympics! 😂

[@micetro614]

No. DAS is the play style that brings the best out of the game’s inner beauty and allure, especially in competition. It’s the purest version of Classic Tetris. Think of it like a fighting game where all the OP/banned/broken characters have been removed, so that there is balance and enjoyment of what the game was truly meant to be.
