Cheez has kinda been overshadowed by the avalanche of new rolling players, but let’s all remember.. he *invented* this sh*t. So much respect 🙏
All hail Cheez
they see me rollin', they... also rollin'
He didn't invent the technique, he adapted it for tetris. He learned it from button mashers.
And then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the ring of honor!
For real. I will always be a big Cheez fan!
wow, what a video. easily the best thing you've ever created. really feels like I was there again ❤
now go back to back
Also your video in tetris record history is pure gold!
Congrats on the title
Awesome that you took the time to go take a shit before game 4. Most amazing moment for me.
We went to high school together right? If not, that’s a crazy coincidence cause we’re the same age and I went to high school with a guy named Eric Tolt. Freshman History with Mr.D right?
I can't believe that we get to do this every year. Next week can't come soon enough.
I CANT WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN GOOD LUCK
Will toon in 👌
Is this year being held at the same spot ?
Will the 2023 event have the same line cap as the CTM?
@@EebstertheGreat1:07:54 sounds like it to me.
Old schoolers like Jonas and Jeff created a welcoming competitive scene that paved way for these amazing young kids to thrive and push the game to its limits.
RIP Jonas. You are missed.
Yes. This is true. Well put, my friend.
the death of jonas is still the worst thing to happen to the classic tetris community.
They should do a DAS only comp and name the award after Jonas. (edit just realised they have already named the award after him for ctwc.)
With a side prize for most tetrisis (terti?) during the day call the Boom - Tetris for Jeff award.
Jonas was the reason I got into watching competitive tetris to begin with. I saddens me everytime I'm reminded of his passing. Brings a tear to my eye everytime.
2022 CTWC was the most pivotal championship since the legendary 2018 CTWC
The J piece to remember Jonas. And an incredible quote from him on the reward for the most quintessential high visibility player of the year. Really pulling at my heartstrings here!
I really love how you highlighted so many different types of players in this video. People on the low end just showing up to play and maybe set a PB, people scraping into the silver bracket, old legends showing they still got it, new faces outperforming everyone's expectations and of course the best in the world duking it out for the crown. So often all you see are the ones still standing close to the end, but you really showed, why people show up even if they might not have a chance to go all the way.
"BOOM! Tetris for Jonas!" R.I.P. My guy
Kings never die.
As an outsider for Tetris I just absolutely love the sportsmanship going on all over the place. It just makes me so happy to see
I keep remembering the 2019 GreenTea and Joseph Saelee match and they double killscreened - immediately after the first tournament match maxout, they both maxed out in the same game (#3)
The 2022 finals were this but not only steroids but comparing this game to that one was like a gigachad to a fucking nematode. All matches were double killscreens and were double maxouts (except the fourth which were both one-aways), but obviously the highlight has to be the third game, by a long shot. The killscreen beginning was closer on level count to the beginning (level 0) than it was to where they were at by the end of it all.
this video really helped me realize more how much i love this community. when it got to the "when you get the line part" i genuinely teared up. i just love this entire community and it has become my life. i really dont know how my life would be now if it wasnt for this game from the 80's and this amazing community. all the people i talk with online today has come from me joining the tetris community. very saddening that i wont get to experience this until maybe next year. scout you always put up great videos and i want to thank you for being a very big reason why i started stacking blocks in the first place.
gotta watch the rest of this later but it looks epic
W player
Phenomenal job capturing the emotions and the fun as always, my friend! If your goal was to get everyone excited for CTWC 2023 next week you succeeded big time, it can't come soon enough!
LETS GOOOOO!!!! excited to see everybody at ctwc! And to watch this video!
looking forward to your debut!
Can't wait!!!
Yo it’s the kid wait NO WAY IT IS NO WAY ONLY 3 REPLYS WHAT??.
Can't wait for you to beat Level 255 🤣
@@ec1ipze918 It's when not if so you'd better be watching closely
People are complaining about it taking so long but there's also a positive side: this the perfect moment to hype people up for the tournament next week, and provide fresh context for those who haven't kept up to date. The epilogue at the end also wouldn't have been possible if it released early
overall this editing and storyline was so good, sick vid.
pure talent alone this one takes the cake.
importance, 2018 still holds the crown.
The shift to rolling was absolutely insane in the way that everybody rolls now. I was watching some ctwc matches and i just noticed how ALL of them were rolling
It's because you literally have to or get forced out of the game. Boring to watch these kids roll past kill screen and go on multiple rounds whereas before you needed to min mix and optimize tetrises since the kill screen acted as a good guarantee the game would end.
@@CloudyPotato-et2mnWe've got the super killscreen now that fixes that problem.
@@CloudyPotato-et2mn Don't know where you get that delusion. Fractal literally had a 100% tetris rate for the first 27 tetrises in quarterfinals alone, and many of these people can hold 80%+ tetris rates consistently going into 19 and even beyond.
This is the same exact type of argument as "lol no skill modern tetris players because they play super fast". Players can have a higher APM than you and also work their brain harder than you, it's fine to be completely outclassed, what's wrong with that? It's just a game at the end of the day, respect their dedication to it.
Stacking theory, though it's advanced since Jonas's time, really isn't that complicated, the mechanics and instant decision making is way more important, which surprise, they can do well...
Joseph Saelee finally broke the level 30 curse in 2018 before the championships, but by the time we got to the finals four years later, what was left of it anymore? Where did it go?!
I think it's basically tradition for this being a year late
Edit: Jesus, that slow tetris theme and the mention of Jonas got me tearing up, you're such an amazing storyteller
Bringing that CRT shell was the best thing I did, everybody loved it
HI SCOUT!!!!!
Hi Cheez!
hi cheez
@@EricICX HI ERIC!!!!!
@@CheezTetriswhat your pb
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
18:11 NO WAY I SHOWED UP ON A SCOUT VIDEO :D
CTWC was such a blast last year, so cool to meet so many players from the classic scene as a modern player. Sad I can't go this year but I know 2023 is gonna be even more ridiculous. Hope y'all have fun!
so with you here misty, much love to everyone going later this coming weekend!!! i hope you all have the bestest time
💕
Amazing video production David. Absolutely amazing to let me reexperience this event. To this day I am sad and disappointed that I had to leave early and miss Sunday and the top 16. Thanks for showing what it was like to be there.
The sportsmanship is so nice to see. The immediate hugging as soon as Eric won was just great.
The Tetris community should serve as a model for other communities! Everyone is so stoked, nobody takes themselves too seriously, wholesome vibes all around.
Damn James Chen commentates Tetris as well? I just stumbled here by accident - I am a Fighting Game player - and he is very well known in our circles! Amazing that he is active in both communities!
Great video and I am always enthralled with the speed and skill of Tetris players. What a great game and what great players!
Last time i played Tetris was like 20 years ago. I never knew about this channel neither i heard of CTWC tournament before. But this was a good preparation for my programming exam that starts in two hours😅😅
Amazing editing as always David. Fantastic job capturing all of the excitement that was CTWC 2022. Can't wait for 2023. Let's go!
Well that was unexpectedly wholesome. I didn't think I would sit through the whole video but it was so fun to watch!
I mean ive played tetris as a child, a black amd white version
Today youtube recommended me a 1 hour long tetris video and out of boredome i clicked on it
I wasn't even sure i was gonna understand it, but it was a wonderful video good editing good commentry and narration.
Keep up the good work
Such a wonderful community, must feel to have good people, friends and family around you
I've been using the "rolling" technique on joystick, pads, controllers and handhelds since 1980's
Started with an upside down Kempston sunk in the pelvic pit betwixt thigh and belly for Daley Thompson's Decathlon
Can't belive it is a thing 40 years on, especially in the Tetris World Championships!
Cracking video which brings back SO many fond memories
Peace x
incredible as always scout. You got smiles and tears out of me. Ggs.
I've been following this Tetris Channel for a long time now even tho I don't play Tetris
This is where I get my happy energy from xd you all are awesome
I hope the Tetris community continues to grow!
cant wait to do it again soon :D
Ive never been super into tetris but this video had me on the edge of my seat for over an hour. Amazing content man!
It took ya long enough (almost a full year), but FINALLY we have a video about CTWC 2022.
hopefully worth the wait!
@@aGameScout totally... I waited for so long for that. Now I'm enjoying it. Thanks for the video.
@@aGameScout even the passing of my grandma (who passed away last Thursday) didn't break my spirits.
@@aGameScout Can I ask a question? Have you ever thought about making a video about Tengen version of Tetris?
As an outsider to the Tetris community (I don't think I've ever really played, but that's got to change after this), I appreciate the beautiful work you do to show the world what this community is all about. It is a shining beacon of competition and cooperation done right.
Thanks for everything you do for the Tetris community.
CTWC 2022 was CRAZY.
I love you storytelling. So aproachable. So contagious...
Had my first Classic Tetris live experience at the CTWC Iberia last month and I can't for the next one!
Everything they say about the Tetris community is true.
Keep doing it, man ❤
You have an incredible gift for story telling. I went into this video knowing nothing about comptitive Tetris but I still went on an emotional journey with a beautiful conclusion.
One hour of absolute gold
This had me at the edge of my seat for the most part of it. What an amazing, emotional and informative documentary. The pure joy of people playing tetris, competitively, put together with the relationships between them and the pure fun they are having together is just heartwarming! What a great piece. Thank you so much, I honestly am looking forward to the 2023 version of this already! ^_^
You nailed the basic style and the music already the first time, so now, the third installment of this ongoing saga feels like coming home again ❤
Totally ready for another wild set of events next week!! Who knows what will happen this year... Thanks for making these amazing recaps.
Loved it, epic retelling of many unforgettable moments. Made me emotional!
Great way to refresh our memories and get ready for CTWC2023
what a good movie! I really enjoyed it even if it was way past my bedtime.
I hope this tournament goes international in my country here in the Philippines soon! tetris was really big here before because of tetris friends years back. would love to experience
this community
Incredible video as always scout. This was such an insanely fun event and I'm excited to see what 2023 will bring. Sadly I won't make it there in person this time, but i will of course be watching the streams and rooting for every player to play some insane matches!
Absoloutely worth the wait, amazing as always, this brought so many good memories, see you all in a week! :)))))
When I see that, i'm so proud to be a part of this community, just as a single Tetris addict since the first time I played it on my NES ! This game is a universe !
I think one of my favorite lines in the video is "gamescout are you ready to like cover this?" it's always cute to me to see lil things like that :)
Another incredible video scout! Thanks for continuing to tell the story of the NES Tetris community. That final match between Eric and Fractal was insane, can't wait to hear about the 2023 championship as well!
i love it how structured your videos are... i always feel like i myself am lifting the trophy... love it
What an absolute TITAN of a tournament! Incredible moment after incredible moment!
During the quarters, I'm sitting here, thinking "dude, watch Eric win this thing"! I WAS NOT READY FOR THAT 3rd GAME IN THE FINALS! My mind was absolutely blown to bits! Abso-fucking-lutely L E G E N D A R Y ! ! !
I'm not part of this community, but for what I've seen of it I love the positivity, that everyone supports each other and they're genuinely happy about each other's successes. I wish more communities were like this
You watched a hour long video on tetris. I think you are part of the community now! Welcome
I found this video at random, i don’t watch tetris videos normally, and it’s totally riveting!! You’re incredible at setting up the storylines. This is just as exciting as the Melee tournaments i usually watch. Tetris is such high skill.
I have never played much Tetris , and none for 35 years, and am in no way a gamer.
But boy, did I enjoy this video, thank you for making it - And it such a high quality, both technical and substance wise.
Thanks!
38:14 YOOO THATS ME! Can’t wait to see you all again this year, it’s gonna be just as good if not better. Scout always with the s tier videos to bring back memories and good vibes. See you all next week, safe travels ❤
Thank you so much for your passion and love for the game and the community! You are one of our great ambassadors!
As much as I love competitive games like this, you rarely see an event like this. Do I play Tetris? No. Am I sobbing because it really feels like everyone won? Absolutely.
Amazing video. I fondly remember watching the 2022 qualifiers and bracket games. I can't wait for next week.
1:07:35 "The ability to connect with a ton of people you otherwise never would've met" a real double-edged sword, that one..
The community has come a long way from that viral Jonas v Joseph championship. RIP Jonas.
This is an amazing video! All the player interactions had me smiling. It's nice to see even 1v1 opponents cheering for each other
amazing video, thanks for creating these, I am just watching from the side lanes but feels great to be able to experience this community in some way c:
Committing time fraud at work to watch this one. Can’t wait yo see everyone at this year’s ctwc!
Your employer steals your labor. You are entitled to steal their time.
Fantastic video! So glad to have been able to watch this, and great job keeping it accessible as always!
Your best video yet, thank you so much for your hard work! ❤
its so crazy that i cant even watch alot of youtube videos for over 15 minutes but scout made an hour long video that kept me watching for the entire thing
Put this on to listen to it in the background.
Ended up watching the whole thing glued to the screen.
Never lose your authenticity and the joy you inspire through your videos!
Wow, this is one of the best videos I've watched on UA-cam in a very long time. I've played maybe an hour of Tetris in my life but seeing how wonderful the community is makes me want to try going competitive 😄
i didnt think id sit and watch this whole video but the way you presented it drew me in, great video great community they have. ill check out the next one
Omg so hype , best video I've seen in a long time , I could not stop watching and feel so excited and happy , thank you so so much for making this , and for updating the wild storyline that is modern-classic tetris
Everything about this is so heartwarming. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Scout be the type of person to just casually travel w/ the Tetris World Champion
Great video and just before the 2023 that I had no idea was coming. I will definitely be tuning in for that now!
Was absolutely incredible getting to relive the amazing memories and see myself in this video (and definitely being a European player supporting sidnev). I can't wait for next year and can't believe it is only a week away!
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
yo i saw that, I was like yeah okay Eren looks European
Great community! I'm not a part of it but you guys have something special going on here. May it live for a very long time. Great video, love the emotions! ❤
Your video showed up in my feed and I'm so happy they did. I haven't played Tetris since i was a kid this is amazing. Thank you for sharing your journey!
im a kid
Never played Tetris in my life but this video has made me a lifetime watcher for sure!
What an awesome community. I don't play, but love to watch all of you do amazing Tetris.
Thank you for this amazing video! Can't wait for this year's CTWC :D
love all the work u do scout youre truly amazing
So glad to finally see these back! Hope everyone has fun at CTWC 2023!
Yo man, I've been following your videos for a while and it just baffles me how I feel so in touch with a community that I'll probably never engage with. The enthusiasm, the sportsmanship, the overall positive vibe that seems to resonate with is just something incredible that I wish onto every community out there, no matter which game. Good luck in your event next weekend!
Excellent video! Your editing keeps it engaging and interesting throughout. I'm not even particularly a big fan of Tetris, but I watched the whole thing
This video got random recommended to me. I don't play Tetris or have anything to do with it.
But I'm already 20min into the video and plan on watching the full thing.
Your narration and story telling is absolutely amazing !
Fantastic video! Thanks for putting this together for people who aren't able to attend, after watching your video I almost feel like I was there.
Absolutely phenomenal job with this video. best Tetris video I've seen in years.
Looking forward to see your video for 2023 :) It is wonderful to watch you and so many others have a lot of fun
Such a sick video scout!! I'm so excited for CTWC, got my entire weekend cleared out and will be doing nothing but watching ctwc :) thanks for hyping me up again with this video!
Such a beautiful story, really happy for you guys and I hope you will keep this for many many more years to come, great job 👏👍
Idk why but i loved this docu !! Its the voice the clips put together!! Great job its been a long time i watch a 1 hour youtube vid
its been one second
Just saw this. Amazing video of the experience! I can't believe I'm going this year and I'll get to see it all happen live!
These videos are so good. Plus you are getting way better at Tetris
0:09 Chuchushoe from Taiwan introduced me to CTWC, it's so cool to see you shouting out to him. Before his videos I never thought this old game has such a thrilling tournament.
Amazing video scout, extremely well edited and my favorite video of yours by far. Still don't think I've fully realized I'm going to ctwc and how big it's gonna be. Can't wait to see everyone next week!!!!
Another Great one Scout, and great to see Dansushi's pix as well. Keep up the great work!
Love your videos man!
Thank you for this excellent video. Would love to see it for every year.
I'm tearing up on a Tetris video? You Sir, Mr. aGameScout, are a master of your craft! Great work!
34:20 I somehow seem to do this all the time as well. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Edit: Damn, the Jonas footage gets me every time.
SCOUT I JUST LOVE U MAN! INCREDIBLE WORK!!! KEEP UP!
