Jonas is so good he tetris 3 times before brushing his teeth

Wow seeing Koryan vs zzyzx made me want to see Kauser vs Hauser. I hope they'll both be here next year

i have never been a fan of watching "sports" whatsoever. but this, man, now i finally know how football/baseball/soccer fans feel when watching matches. really glad i discovered this. its so exciting.

[@BramSenders]

My thoughts exactly! :D

[@saito853]

LOL Koryan was like "nah translator-san sucks imma just speaku Engrish"

[@HoshinoMirai]

I know!! The translator did a bad job at getting the question out.... It was funny how Koryan just switched to English lol

[@datsusasa]

AHAHAHAHAHA so funny

[@franciscocastro4017]

I've been studying japanese for years, and neither did I know 予選 (yosen) meant qualifiers. Btw the translator for the second answer he said "It seems you somehow do understand (english), go on", that's why he switched.

[@egg7491]

Time stamp pls

[@Albimar17]

Situation @ 25:27 cracked me up too :)

[@mattrg320]

man Quaid really made an impressive come back in his last game. He may have lost but it's just a perfect example what these top tier players are capable of. He really got into The Zone.

Koryan is just so endearing and nice. I just want to be his friend.

[@oxey_]

He's like a panda

[@bellaforhills3893]

Me too

[@chrisbidwell895]

great work getting the closeup shots of Joseph and Koryan hypertapping. One of the downsides of limiting the in-game sounds, is you don't get to hear how unnatural the side-to-side movement sounds when hypertapping is utilized.

[@Powerslave226]

Quaid comes top 8 looking like he had an absolute banger the night before.

[@eikepetersen1839]

I think Jonas mentioned in one of his streams that they actually had a big party with most of the players the night before.. I believe he uploaded that part to his KZbin channel..

[@lydiamourningstar2028]

I think Quaid at one point said he actually plays better hung over lmao.

[@PomLamb]

Pretty neat seeing James Chen in the commentary boothe for a pro level tournament outside of Street fighter. I really like his passion for esports and high level competition. He really understands what high level gaming means to these competitors.

[@corndawgz]

Announcer: How did you feel going against Harry Hong next to you? Joseph: Uh.. yeah I dunno what.. uh.. yeah I was nervous yeah I dunno. Announcer: Let's talk about that second game, what happened there? Joseph: Uh.. yeah I dunno what.. uh.. I played it safe uhh yeah I dunno.. Announcer: Tell us what you're expecting out of this. Joseph: Uh.. yeah I dunno what to expect.. yeah uh.. i dunnoo Announcer: Why are you here? Joseph: uh... I dunno... just i dunno uhhhh I dunno Announcer: what are you going to do when you win?

[@MonthlyTetris]

Game 2 of Koryan vs Quaid was Incredible. Quaid was beasting it.

[@fishflake1209]

Quaid’s well-building strategy is very effective in match play, but he burns more lines than he needs to, and it spells trouble against opponents like Koryan who can maintain a fast pace. Greentea was also having success with unconventional wells, but he could do it more efficiently.

[@zes7215]

The Harry vs Joseph match was absolutely ridiculous. Both got early top outs

[@Menolifee]

@@salumtummundi9462 wow epic troll

[@Albimar17]

Absolutely! In sports such as pool or snooker you routinely get matches played best of 9, 11 or 13 with finals being best of 17 or 19. Something like that would allow really for consistent players to thrive. It's not like these games take very long anyway! Joseph v Harry was only about 18 mins for 3 games. I'd also gladly allow players to continue playing past lvl 28 - not like the game would last much longer anyway because of introducing that rule.

[@GamerGee]

6:44 Tetris for Joseph. Woof woof woof woof

[@treylorswift]

One of our fans in the front row really gets into it =)

[@treasuretrails]

I dreamed about tetris for hours last night, been watching too much of this lol its so addicting

[@drfpslegend4149]

They all played really well, but I'm always impressed by Quaid's inventive play at the higher levels. Seriously though, I want Harry to win it again.

to squeeze every view out of the first videos.

[@infinityentity]

they "stream" new parts once a week to incorporate a live chat where some of the players etc often pop in for a bit as well.

[@zes7215]

no such thing as long or not or sx about it, happx nmw

[@Ry-ss5dz]

They need to do best of 5’s in the quarterfinals and up at least. Maybe even best of 7. I just think harry and Joseph made some bad mistakes and didn’t have enough games to make it a good match. 1 or 2 extra games would give them a better chance to settle into a match and find their game

[@danielkarlsson258]

Yes, plus only do 1 game at a time. Would be awesome. This is still great though.

[@pearkore6821]

There's too many time constraints, both for player, commentator and referee exhaustion (eg Jonas after top 4. My guy was about to pass out) as well as the stage time for the retro game connection. It's just not really a possibility as things are.

[@pphtm]

Agreed. There is way too much variance in the game for a best of 3 to be acceptable. It's an insult to the amount of time these guys have practiced for this.

[@oxey_]

A double elimination bracket would be even better but there's just not enough time

[@salumtummundi9462]

Haha butthurt fan. Harry lost to the grand winner to more talking

@@ericmsandoval DAS stands for delayed auto shift, or when you hold down the D pad to the side and after a delay the piece starts automatically moving to the side Tldr; it's the alternative to hyper tapping

[@dialecticsjunkie7653]

Not gonna lie, although there are other players who are better than him, Quaid's play style is by far the most fun to watch, and the most interesting and creative. Hope he can become more consistent and actually have a shot at the title because I love his style on an aesthetic level.

[@itsmeclarityy]

Look how impressive quaid is 0.0

[@ycox1489]

So I have noticed this in all of the nes Tetris the videos were they show 4 people all have different pieces but then they show 2 at a time they have the same RNG can anyone explain that please

How do you start with lvl 18 like the pros I can start only up to lvl 9 on Classic Tetris is it a different version or is it a cheat or hack?

[@newstarcadefan]

You have to hold the A button down on your controller, and then start if you're hovering over level 8. Though I've tried to do it...it's not easy...it's not easy at all.
