First to 19 Speedrun Final Round - TETRIS RACE!

[@ClassicTetris]

Classic Tetris Speedrun Facts: Players stack higher so that pieces can drop down to the stack faster. Players are also going for Tetrises because the line clear animations add up! The most important factor for faster speed is piece movement execution.

@@meditalisoo7 no definitely not! Qualifying scores should not determine the winner in a tournament.

[@meditalisoo7]

@@nils1953 This would only be true if they were actually playing each other. But they just play against time. Why doesn't just everyone play simultaneously, get like 3 tries and the fastest time wins. It would still be a live competition but much fairer. y

[@reyrey4261]

Risk, reward, Koryan reaped what he sowed. Somewhere in-between there’s a sweet spot to win this tournament.

[@nils1953]

@@meditalisoo7 how is that fairer? That's literally qualifying. Before the main ctwc they all have to go through qualifying, which determines the seating for the tournament. In 2018, they had something like 8 maxouts. Now if everyone just went for the max score there is a fraction of the tension we have now. There is no vs. They would essentially be hosting a world record testing station. There is a reason why competitive sports don't determine the winner based on the fastest time they did during the whole event but during the race the held. You completely eliminate the versus effect of the championship doing that. There is no side to side looking, to check how fast your opponent is, thus removing the ability to adjust your game accordingly to the added or reduced pressure. Which btw Joseph did, multiple times during this video. It even got picket up by the commentators. If you want to see who is the fastest, Joseph takes that title, who has the highest lvl18 score, i think korean owns it atm (or harry, idk). Highest lvl19 goes to Joseph again. And the best competitive player is atm Joseph, having beat Jonas. Now for this speedrun type of play, idk of Korean actually has a WR but he was the fastest this tournament, but couldn't handle the pressure during the finals thus losing and ending up worst of the 4.

[@HenryZhoupokemon]

I think we are in a golden age of tetris right now. As close as many of the game were, Jonas has run away with the competition for nearly a decade, and as large as the tetris community has grown, it almost gets "boring" to see someone dominate for that long a stretch. But now with Joseph in the mix, I think that this years CTWC will have some of the best games ever. Really hope that one day Thor unretires.

Can someone explain how this is different from normal Tetris competition? Why do they need to build the stack so high? Thanks

[@sitasin6545]

Stack super high so there's less drop time for the pieces

[@madelinebitts2766]

It's a speed competition. The goal is to get to a high number of lines cleared in the least amount of time. They stack up high so trash pieces can be put in place quicker. When the build is halfway up the screen, it takes half the time to place them and move on to the next piece. Once it starts getting as little high to handle, that's when they drop a long boy in and clear for a Tetris.

[@Apezz19]

Clipper Super fan what do u mean by ‘straight up dont work here’..a T-spin combo gives less point than Tetris??n what about back2back tetris??that doesnt count??cz its race to 190 lines right, who can get 190 lines 1st..why dont i just combo it out..cz 190 is easily accomplish in like 3-4mnt with back2back tetris..

[@landanross2966]

Gaming Apex classic Tetris has no hold slot, it’s much, MUCH less forgiving on last second rotations, and it has no ghost pieces that show where the next piece will land. Classic Tetris is much harder than modern Tetris, it’s why modern Tetris is much more relaxing to play and classic so competitive.
