He's still one of the best stackers, maybe #2 behind Joseph, he just can't compete with the tappers because they can build so much higher. Hard to say Joseph isn't the GOAT now though, plays at a much higher level than everyone else even in the current hypercompetitive era
Many thanks to the UA-cam recommended tab, the Tetris community and the mastermind before this very game for granting us such tense and amazing moments of gaming!
These really are addicting to watch. Just watched Joseph dethrone 7-time champ Jonas here, now I'm hooked. Also, I love how happy Quaid got with his first win here.
Its crazy to watch this and see how much the game has evolved with the onslaught of hypertappers and fresh talent from all around the globe. Also the fact that they didnt yet have mirrored pieces....
I believe at 33:17, the emcee in the background should have waited until their round was finished. It looked like it almost distracted Quaid, but I guess that's an observation. I mean really, don't be talking over the sound system when a round is happening.
I thought the same thing, it's obvious that it distracted him enough to cause him to fuck up. He was going perfect until the announcer started talking. Dude on the speaker really needed to shut the fuck up and wait e.e Is it really that important of a message?
i'm guessing this tournament was likely at a bigger convention, with heaps of shit going on, that's probably the announcer for the entire convention hall, not just the tetris tournament, so the guy on the PA probably had no idea
rip joans the goat, re-watching this match amazes me how far competitive tetris has come. in this match 700k wins fast forward to now unless you max out you already lost
I first found this video in early 2016 thanks to a random search of the game. I was just so amazed that my childhood favorite had become something like this. (not to mention saddened I didn't know about it in 2010) Now I look at this and I'm blown away by how much the skill ceiling has risen. (and also well both players were able to grow with the scene)
Jonas Neubauer April 19, 1981 - January 5, 2021 Passing the torch to the new generations. Thanks for everything Jonas! Will remember you the most in October during CTWC....
"Okay, need me some white noise to run in the background while I work. Oh Tetris, this should do fine. Let's get to work then!" It's been five days, someone help me! Can't stop watching! I'm scared and alone and running out of food!
I asked Quaid whether the announcement (IN 5 MINUTES WE WILL BE STOPPING ALL VENDOR SALES) distracted him while playing, and he said that it did and it kinda fucked up his game. Sad honestly, the venue should've waited at least until they're not in a match to announce something like that.
Going to binge watch. Deft sadden by the news. Feel bad for all his friends and family that knew him. Quaid is deft a funny guy but Jonas was an a whole other level. Rip Tetris King. Jonas will deft be miss. Watching him play got me so hyped to play NES Tetris. Deft motivated me to set up my nes and play classic Tetris on my CRT TV. Truly sadden by his passing.
This Tetris World Championship may grow to be very big in the future. People from litteraly any background can watch it and suddenly become addicted to it
Has anyone else found out about this esport and actually started playing classic tetris because of it? Cuz same. This is more intense and entertaining than most fps.
Desire Dean Matabane He has 5 so he can stack them up. He actually has a 2nd place one too which is the same but silver. Actually unsure of trophy designs for years before 2014.
This game is such a battle. I can't believe these guys' ability to stack these shapes. The number one thing I notice is their foresight with clearing lines. They immediately know where to put the two pieces so that the line gets cleared and make space.
Поддался Jonas в третьем раунде. Видно как делал триплы вместо тетрисов на 19 скорости. Настолько уверен в своих силах, что не стал расстраивать организаторов быстрым финалом. Реальный Бог.
Only started watching when Joseph won his first, the other day I saw 6.5 million points scored and the colour glitch happen, watching this is mind blowing how different the game is within 8 years
2020 Jonás got eliminated in the sweet 16 despite posting 900k plus scores and Koryan was also eliminated in the sweet 16 despite posting multiple 1million games...how the game has evolved
![[Tetris 99] to the beat (GB ver.)](/img/n.gif)
once you start watching this you just can't stop, it's addictive
Rafael Brito same here i discovered a new world
ya, im obsessed
I only watch for the "BOOM tetris for Jonas"
Rafael Brito You tell me ! I don't know how this ended up on my YT time-line, but I could not stop watching it.
i got u man. idk how it got on my timeline. but ive watch 3 series of " tetris for jonas " winning ~ its freaking additive
getting recommended this is such a pain
Ya ikr rest in peace, Jonas
Rest In Peace Jonas, the ultimate final boss
Im 99% sure he didnt die
Edit: u guys were right rip jonas
@@d-dog1310 He passed away in January.
@@d-dog1310 he did die though
gone too soon, heck of a player and a heck of a guy.
@@Haiganon wut ??? what happen to him :( ???
I've never seen a competitive event, espeically in video games, where people are so friendly to each other.
Apparently Quaid is quite the dick off camera. It is interesting how calm and respectful everyone is though.
Might surprise you, but most 1v1 tournaments require good attitude.
The funny thing about this comment is Quaid is a huge dick off screen. That's why he's my favorite

@@TheRedNinjaMouse I think this is an excellent point
If a tetris booms and it's not for Jeff, does it really boom at all?
Safe House
good question. Probably not, for this amouncer at least, with his jeff-bias
meeg_2005 When Jonas has won almost all the championships its not bias to root for the underdog
thats exactly what u call bias tbh
Thank you for blessing me with this comment
Jonas > Jeff
Rest in peace Jonas, a legend will never be forgotten.
BOOM! TETRIS FOR JEFF!
whoops, wrong video! My bad!
M. Maddix JEFF IS LOVE JEFF IS LIVE
Is this a meme that I am unaware of?
M. Maddix my thoughts exactly
Crazy Duck Gaming Yes it is :))
M. Maddix lol
Jonas is on the wrong side, IT'S NOT NATURAL!
I know, right?
Same!
@@hopeseekr I see what you did there 👌👌👌
33:17 i think that sale announcement affect him.
Natthawat Pakanunsuppawong you're right and it's fucking disrespectful to allow such interruptions.
they really did that kind of thing on the most heating moment of a championship match. unbelievable
Natthawat Pakanunsuppawong i think it was in purpose...
That's why they wore headphones in 2016 competition.
They both heard it, It's just that Quaid was really distracted by the fact that he's behind, and got really frustrated and out of focus.
There will only be one Jonas Neubauer. Your legacy lives on in the community. Thank you.
Jonas really is the greatest of all time. The theory to the game that he figured out influences every hypertapping player today
He's still one of the best stackers, maybe #2 behind Joseph, he just can't compete with the tappers because they can build so much higher. Hard to say Joseph isn't the GOAT now though, plays at a much higher level than everyone else even in the current hypercompetitive era

greatest sports persons ever:

Syed Hasan Mohiuddin Define sport for me.

And its even more amazing the way the game evolved since you posted that comment. Tetris has changed so much with rolling
Jonas blink count: 3 1/2
NathanIzHere Thanks god someone else noticed that!
A blink is a blink, you can't say it's only a half
@ shit u right
NathanIzHere he’s so in to the game he doesn’t even tho he’s blinking
Rest in peace Jonas. What an amazing person he was taken way too soon
Rest in Peace, Jonas!
GOAT
BOOM TETRIS FOR JEFF
Discovering and watching these videos over the last week has greatly begun to distract me, wtf, why am I secretly watching these videos???
Kevin Condna LMAO
Kevin Condna its fine everyone also has

was distracted by that myself as well
but it was likely the venue thing, they dont know what's going on in the individual booths? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i'm guessing this tournament was likely at a bigger convention, with heaps of shit going on, that's probably the announcer for the entire convention hall, not just the tetris tournament, so the guy on the PA probably had no idea
Same for both competitors no? The tournament takes place at a convention, so that's life.
Yeah it's held at the Retro Gaming Expo. Don't think the scene is big enough for a private tournament, and attendance would be a lot lower.
The way the announcer paces in a small window adds another level of intensity and hype! RIP Jonas
I love how the commentator say "Boom! Tetris for..." So exciting!
That Guy Who Likes Potatoes I swear that's a meme in the Tetris community now
ts not excix or unexcix
This is the second tetris video... tf is wrong with me x'D
ChrisViral second? This is my 72nd
You have entered the other side
ChrisViral my seventh...I can't stop.
Seeing the first few ones felt weird watching such an uninteresting, repetitive game, but I just can't stop going back
I can´t stop too…..this is f...cking mind control…...
It just hurts so much everytime I see jonas in my recommendation page ;-;
I miss the "BOOM, tetris for Jeff!.
Lol yes!
we all do
same
Trapaholic he appeared in 2016 one and this is 2015 so...
guess I'm the only who doesn't
The thing is, I can't focus to two players lol
Paulo Laygo Then focus on Jonas we all know he'll win
Bearug 9132 Jonas is a goddamn legend
i tend to focus on who is losing to be honest, thats whos got the most work to do
same
Paulo Laygo I always watch at Jonas, i either cant watch both of them.
Jonas is the Tetris God!
Boom! Tetris for [Insert player name here]!
JEFF
Jonas!
starfox300 Nerds are fun to watch
Travis Nielsen
You're a nerd
JEFF
Watched this vid
Downloaded tetris
Tried to play like these people
Couldn't get over 5000 score
Deleted the app
get nostalgia app and run the rom, its good!
buy you a nes or gameboy. and play the original classic tetris. forget the new stuff. it is just not tetris.
@@corehazard4709 i dunno playing tetris on the phone anywhere is pretty fun. Nostalgianes is a godsend

Thanks for everything Jonas!
Will remember you the most in October during CTWC....
i should be writing my research paper ... BOOM TETRIS
@Sono2 Boom, wrote my entire thesis paper in 3 days
Yes this is so accurate! I also discovered classic tetris during my procrastination instead of writing my research paper!
B O O M T E T R I S F O R J E F F
Jonas is unreal. So consistent
man this Jonas guy is epic, 6 times win
Jonas’ placement of the I piece at 10:39 was phenomenal
It's amazing g how fast the game has become since then
"Okay, need me some white noise to run in the background while I work. Oh Tetris, this should do fine. Let's get to work then!" It's been five days, someone help me! Can't stop watching! I'm scared and alone and running out of food!
rip jonas, you've motivated me to continue trying to get better and better at tetris
Father : What are you going to be son?
Son : Not doctor.
Father : You no gonna have job.
20 years later
BOOM I got a job.
Jeff Lam BOOM internets for Jeff
Hes a bar manager, so he does have a real job, this is just something he does for fun.
Hahaha
I asked Quaid whether the announcement (IN 5 MINUTES WE WILL BE STOPPING ALL VENDOR SALES) distracted him while playing, and he said that it did and it kinda fucked up his game. Sad honestly, the venue should've waited at least until they're not in a match to announce something like that.
i never knew that jonas has passed until now. he his my inspiration to play tetris to.
Amazing how much the competition went up in such a sort period of time.
Now I know how people think about sports. I finally understand how entertaining they can be and why people bother to pay to watch a game.
Going to binge watch. Deft sadden by the news. Feel bad for all his friends and family that knew him. Quaid is deft a funny guy but Jonas was an a whole other level. Rip Tetris King. Jonas will deft be miss. Watching him play got me so hyped to play NES Tetris. Deft motivated me to set up my nes and play classic Tetris on my CRT TV. Truly sadden by his passing.
Quaid's reaction when he realized he won game 3 was priceless xD
He wins every fuckin time i sware
you sware? WOW
I've never done crack, but I can't imagine it being more addicting than watching this.
I want someone to find a point in the video where Jonas blinks while he's playing and put the time.
Fatfree Bleach, 20:35 at the tetris.
Jonas Mito, brazil loves your play
maybe Jonas could be a new coach for the Atlanta Falcons. Atleast he knows how to maintain a solid lead
Eric Glidden lol what’s up guy, what are the chances ur Marshwood Eric Glidden? Small world
we love you Jonas!
This Tetris World Championship may grow to be very big in the future.
People from litteraly any background can watch it and suddenly become addicted to it
Someone make a tetris Anime. this is hardcore.
How did I start watching this?...
This is really surprisingly fun to watch. I'm not sure how, but it really is lol
Has anyone else found out about this esport and actually started playing classic tetris because of it? Cuz same. This is more intense and entertaining than most fps.
Thats a really cool trophy
Desire Dean Matabane
He has 5 so he can stack them up. He actually has a 2nd place one too which is the same but silver.
Actually unsure of trophy designs for years before 2014.
what have i stumbled upon
gem
Hours of wasted time
Legend
it's crazy to see how much players have evolved in the past 5 years, in terms of score and playing through the killscreen.
This game is such a battle. I can't believe these guys' ability to stack these shapes. The number one thing I notice is their foresight with clearing lines. They immediately know where to put the two pieces so that the line gets cleared and make space.
This isn't even final 16 level of competition these days. It's absolutely nuts how far the skill has progressed. Still, RIP Jonas. Dude is a legend.
i like quaid and jonas
game and cube zone I like Jeff and Jonas
I don't know about anyone else, but I could really do without the play by play here
When luck was just as critical as skill,
These were the bravest gamers.
For they were living in the dark times,
Before the RNG was synchronized.

Incredible to rewatch this and see the skill difference. Sub 500k transitions and no game over 700k by the end of it.
wow quaid digged himself out of some of the most difficult spot i have ever seen from playing great vs 👏👏👏✌💯
Quaid/Hauser really is one of the most versatile, unique, and entertaining players to watch, really hope he doesn't retire!
Jonas is like the Justin Wong of Tetris
Don't insult Jonas please...
Banchou Zealot whaaaaat
then whos the daigo? lol
Giodyne me.
The infiltration or sf4 momochi if you will Jwong is washed up
do you guys have any more of these videos? I'm addicted and I've seen them all :P and I've never played tetris in my life lol.
boom! tetris for jeff
what is the name of the song that starts playing around 4:58 ?
Rest in Peace Jonas Neubauer " The Goat " :( R.I:P The King of tetris
i appreciate the song "my name is jonas" playing at the start
Those damn bars always screw you over
2020 Jonás got eliminated in the sweet 16 despite posting 900k plus scores and Koryan was also eliminated in the sweet 16 despite posting multiple 1million games...how the game has evolved
The strange part is that I'm RE-watching all these clips.
did anyone notice that in round 3 and 4 the sequences were out of sync?
i have no idea how i did not notice that earlier...
I can't wait for CTWC 2016! \m/ Quaid will take it this year!
How did Jonas get seven points at the beginning, just wondering?
Magenta Haxxxx!!
Drop bonus.
LordFvckingHorst why didn't Sean ever get one
He does, that's why his score doesn't end with a 0.
I didn't know Tetris championships were even a thing... I think I enjoy it...
thank you Rob Scallon and Jonas for showing me this world. rip Jonas
26:00 Quaid: "Darn, I lost"
26:03 Quaid: "Yeah boi, I can't believe it"
I have to admit, the background music in on point!
This dude Jonas just never loses as far as I can tell.
had no idea this was a thing
Do they tap the pieces over or just hold down the directional pad at these high levels?
Does anybody feel like me but quaid is the most chill dude ever
YO is that Hauser before the stauche?
where i can find that mashup of don't stop believing? i like it
The HD overlay looks awesome but I think it would make sense if a person loses a heart on a loss rather than the winner gaining a heart on a victory.
oh man, they don't have syncronized pieces. How did the competitors put up with that?
I want to play the same tetris they do, is that the NES tetris or is other one? because it doesn't look like the NES one
That announcer is just so BOOM TETRIS FOR JONAS!
Whats up with the title and why is just one of the games audible
the length of the video gave away what was going to happen after the first two matches.
Wow, Jonas is such a cool and collected player. Plus, I want him on my team if I ever have to go up against Weeping Angles. That guy never blinks!
is it just a coincidence that "my name is jonas" is playing in the background while jonas is playing tetris
