[@DK-ZERO]

he legit just called his buddy Buco in the middle of a match 😭

[@DMETS519]

Quaid isn't the legend we asked for, but is the legend we need.

[@Haiganon]

13:19 "Well... I guess they dropped" lol

[@user-ze7sq2vf5o]

1:45 It's total chaos in here! Multiple shots fired!

[@shinsekaigakuen7712]

The fact that Andy is now considered an old legend shows I’ve been watching Tetris for way too long 😂😂😂

[@jbc2324]

no way this comment is serious

[@lasagnahog7695]

It's going to be toddlers setting all the records soon.

[@Sherkel]

THIS. THIS is a legendary matchup!

[@Sherkel]

NES version next?

[@vksasdgaming9472]

Quaid had hilarious burn, tastelessly awesome attire and he is still better than 99% of all Tetris-players in the world.

[@twitchster77]

I mean, I know he was a "second place, but everyone's a winner!"...but holy hell, Quaid's really freaking good!

[@DK-ZERO]

yeah frfr, but sadly he didn't quite have the same good form here as vs Alex

[@PowerfulFupa]

I dont know how anyone could boo Quaid man is a legend

[@DK-ZERO]

but are they boo-ing him, or are they buuuucooo-ing 🤔

[@thats.me.ashley4893]

i love that the boo's for Quaid are part of why he's so cool 😂

[@Paramurasaki]

RIP Tetris. What is this? 😂 Btw, Quaid was just sober

[@DK-ZERO]

i am still in a state of shock that Quaid swept Thachy 😨

[@jomertomale]

Alex T is not a fast builder, but an excavator 😂

[@sixtynine2856]

Alex T would be better with some practice. Quad has been playing this for years. It's only sensible.

[@flashraylaser157]

​@@jomertomaleThat's kind of how I am. Me and a coworker had a job that allowed us to play Tetris for most of the 8 hours when it wasn't busy and we spent about two years on it, getting pretty serious. I was a lot faster than my friend at first but in the end our specialties changed. He would beat me in speed events if he didn't get a bad board but if he did it was over and I can escape impossible digs most just call it quits on and tap out to without even trying. I was a bit surprised he won the yearly tournament with that style, but it definitely makes him the most likely to rebirth by far. Rebirth is pretty unlikely to happen without at least 4 or 5 "impossible" digs unless someone maintains perfect nerves.

[@ChannelCez]

I don’t think Alex practiced for this type of Tetris at all that’s why

[@DK-ZERO]

@@ChannelCez yeah, he had a bigger assignment to tackle 👍

[@plant_paradox5663]

What a great match

[@spamaccount6460]

Quaid is life

[@brandon9018]

Quaid gotta be my favorite Tetris player, plays a very dynamic game. Wish he was still able to compete on the highest level

[@Myyri4]

Hoping to see him playing in Jonas Neubauer memorial tournament

[@shinobi.3859]

Andy too fast too good🔥🔥🔥

[@thej3799]

This match was way more exciting than the one with Logan Paul

[@meodai]

What are they playing on?!

[@grzegorzgk31]

ModRetro, gameboy color clone compatible with gameboy carts. Not in sale yet.

[@sainttrunks1982]

OLD* LEGEND??????? Excuse me? how disrespectful ..

[@blok420]

I think its because every old tetris legend basically vanished and Quaid (and maybe Buco) is the only one that remains

[@PunkNDisorderlyGamer]

Bucco couldn’t care less about homie. 😂 I was fast asleep, what do you mean you’re in a Tetris tournament?

[@hemmojito]

über cool Quaid calling Buko mid match 😁😆

[@benjaminwelkens8118]

ive stepped away for a bit is this a diff thing from the usual ctwc

[@wingfryer]

Yeah, this is a sponsored side event to promote a new version of Tetris for the Chromatic system.

[@benjaminwelkens8118]

@@wingfryer alright, thank you thank you

[@rinylvinyl]

BUUUUUCCCCOOOOOOOOOOO!

[@akselst]

Why are people booing Quaid?

[@DK-ZERO]

but are they booing him, or are they buuuucooo-ing him 🤔

[@akselst]

@@DK-ZERO I'm not a native English speaker, and I don't understand what that means.

[@ArbitraryConstant]

@@akselst in old CTWC's during the Jonas years "buuuuuuuucoooooo" was a meme way of cheering Matt Buco. old school CTWC fans are kind of obsessed with it so now they do it even if Buco isn't there. example go to 16:45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKind2CQfKd0aLM

[@akselst]

@@ArbitraryConstant Ah. Thanks for the explanation.

[@DK-ZERO]

@@akselst yeah, good explanation, Quiad and his entourage came up with that to hackle Buco 🗣📢

[@sekaihunter9378]

If Andy is old then I'm a living fossil from the Ice Age 😭

[@1370eagles]

[@standepain]

lol Quaid always loses in style.

[@ENDryuPL]

Thanks for spoiler 🤬

[@standepain]

@@ENDryuPL You're welcome!

[@PowerfulFupa]

Spoiled the video, man.

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

Jesus once said "Only a dork reads comments before watching the video... and only a girl complains about spoilers after reading comments before watching the video" ... I honestly don't understand what his saying meant, but I'm sure it was important .

[@ENDryuPL]

​@@Haywood-Jablomie you know that KZbin shows one comment under the video anyways? Guess which comment was that

[@asplinchen6770]

YES FIRST
