This Quarterfinal match of the 2019 Classic Tetris World Championship is widely considered the greatest CTWC match of all time! It was a confrontation for the ages between returning champ Joseph Saelee from California and multi-platform Tetris specialist and Grandmaster Greentea from Japan. In the original stream, Joseph and Greentea shared the screen with another concurrent match, so our editors reconstructed a fullscreen version to highlight this historic showdown. Commentary by James Chen and Chris Tang.

In the 1990 Nintendo World Championship competition, Tetris was the game to beat. The winner, Thor Aackerlund, is still seen by many as the best to have ever played. Today’s Classic Tetris tournaments are played on that same version of Nintendo Tetris, using original NES game systems, controllers, and Tetris cartridges. In 2009, a player named Harry Hong became the first to achieve the highest possible score of 999,999 points. Inspired by this achievement, filmmaker Adam Cornelius produced a short film about Harry called “Max-Out”, and launched a Kickstarter campaign to document the world of competitive Tetris. As word of Adam’s Kickstarter campaign spread, rumors of max-out scores from other Tetris Masters began to surface, threatening the supremacy of Harry’s achievement. With the help of Nintendo World Championship veteran Robin Mihara, Adam searched for all of the Tetris Masters he could find. Jonas Neubauer emerged as an early max-out artist, along with the elusive original champ Thor Aackerlund. The idea of bringing these and other NES Tetris Masters together to compete in a live tournament became an obvious and irresistible proposition which was artfully captured in the 2010 feature length documentary Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters. Under the leadership of producer Vince Clemente, The Classic Tetris World Championship is currently held at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, an annual event which has hosted the tournament since 2012. Chuck Van Pelt and his organizing committee have built the PRGE into the largest classic gaming expo in the country, drawing around 6,000 attendees. Every year the scores get higher. Rivalries are revisited once again, and new players emerge to challenge the old guard. Over 20 players have maxed out the score now. Will you be the next? ecstasyoforder.com thectwc.com

My favorite thing about Classic Tetris compared to other esports is the genuine camaraderie between all of the top players. They all seem to be having fun and never seem to get too salty about losing. It just gives the whole event a really easygoing and cool vibe

[@nationalgeo2191]

That is true it’s enjoyable. I can understand why other sports are that way though. Tetris isn’t exactly a widely popular game nor is it nearly as psychologically competitive as say chess. I think for somebody to lose a chess game and be upset would be understandable. To lose a Tetris game and be upset would be childish

[@fnutek3720]

There are barely any esports where there isn't some sort of genuine camaraderie. A compilation of a player grunting at his screen because he lost the chance for a mil doesn't mean hes salty about the loss in general. They almost all like each other.

@@isagi93315 yeah but mostly (probably) modern Tetris players modern Tetris focuses on competitiveness unlike the NES version

[@M4pet]

I think it comes down to the ruleset, here in classic tetris both players compete for the highest amount of points, with the exact same order of pieces, every mistake YOU do sets YOU back, as opposed to other tetris games where you send garbage lines... It boils down to individual skill and fundamentals to come out on top and it makes it easier to recognize losses because the other player had no effect on your gameplay, you can only blame yourself, so this camaraderie is as reasonable and organic as it gets.

A maxout is when you reach 999999 points, where the game normally stops counting higher. However, the world championships use a Game Genie code which can show a seventh digit. Game 2 was the first maxout in the world championship ever, so both players doing it the very next game is just crazy.

When I was watching this my jaw just dropped when they hit double max out. Such good tournament play!

[@skylarfox_bmb]

Greentea just yells "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" when Joseph maxes out what a legend

[@seiza33]

I've rewatched this many many times now but that double max out still gives me goosebumps

[@guitarzan5328]

28:17 The commentators just went BERSERK in this legendary moment, I LOVE IT!!!!

[@delduvall]

Gotta love the respect and sportsmanship they both had for each other

[@lucaslopez2712]

9:36.. Did Chris say “Tetris for Jeff?”

[@mikoajukawski6174]

hahahaha

[@EverydayIsNow]

Lol

[@MrOMR04]

Boom! Tetris for Jonas!

[@lanheg]

It was tetris or death Unless... *TETRIS OR JEFF!*

[@garorade]

@@mikoajukawski6174 damn nostalgia

[@Ripper346.]

We went from this astonishing match (and still is) just a year ago to having now these kind of matches on round 1 of CTM

[@MrTripleXXX]

I love watching these videos. I'm not too good at Tetris myself, once it gets to level 15 I just can't keep up. These guys make it look so easy!

[@htsandy3136]

Wasn't ready for this gem to show up in my recommendations

[@guilhermepavaneli6824]

I just love how friendly they are with each other. It justs makes the competition much more entertaining

[@trinhhoanganle4597]

32:40 Greentea : More than 140k lead. Joseph : It's my turn

[@markosgraveyard]

Oh man, how much fun are they both having, I have pretty much never played Tetris, but this is such a joy to watch.

[@skylar9046]

Ah, yes. This was a wonderful match to watch the first time. Glad it's separated in all its glory! The fact that CTWC has gotten to this point. When merely maxing out is not enough to guarantee victory.

[@maemorri]

There's a difference between a "max out" and a "kill-screen". To max out your TRT% needs to be what? 60%? Joseph was at 48%. Fantastic game.

[@LordRaydenTube]

28:13 best part in the vid. Everyone’s going insane. I love it. :D

[@hayhayluxray]

They both look so excited and happy. Very wholesome, this does put a smile on my face

[@Judas_1989]

I just come back to this match every now and then often. Greentea and Joseph got so interresting style of gameplay.

[@PureInsanity]

Quaid's comments are adding so much to this. 33:49 "Throw it Joseph, throw it!"

[@peace4myheart]

Didn't even notice that. That is hilarious

[@majkati69]

Quaid is such a legend, I didn't even hear that before you mentioned it lmao

[@froggofrance]

honestly i agree with quaid tho bc im pretty sure everyone selfishly wants to see a fifth match 😅

[@chopped586]

Well if Joseph knew that green tea died early pretty sure he'd throw

[@kabutopusu]

One of the best matches I've seen yet!

[@georgebaggy]

He says “Tetris for Jeff” at 9:35 lmao

[@kgbc2000]

HAHAHAHA It's true wtf

[@mateololero4091]

He ate the OS xd

[@Foxhound3857]

He actually says “Tetris or death!” But yeah, it does sound like Jeff lol.

[@georgebaggy]

@@Foxhound3857 True, I guess I was just really missing Jeff

[@MlenToboe]

Hahahahahahahahaahahaha!

[@madcapprof]

"Greatest Classic Tetris Match EVER" is now 2022 CTWC final between Fractal and Eric. But, no guarantee that it will remain so next year.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

If you haven't watched these kinds of matches before, go watch a lot, then come back to see how amazing this is. I am stunned.

[@BulletFever1]

In world tournament play as well... Jeez

I swear this is like the only competitive game that's wholesome

[@fluttychin4830]

I love that green tea keeps smiling throughout the competition. Hes just enjoying himself and such positive attitude is so admiring. Great job👏

[@nuclearhardt]

They're not fighting each other, they're both battling against the game, encouraging each other to really push past their limits. Double max out... god

[@SuperHipsterGamer]

There's some reverse Matrix about these two guys completely breaking a game to it's limits. It's as if two racedrivers suddenly made an old Ford drive 200 mph.

[@altafhossain7793]

I just like how friendly they are ! So nice to watch !!

[@dudep504]

Im not even into tetris and yet im shaking so much watching these two.
