What makes Jonas' run of consecutive final appearances even more impressive is, that he's not just placed as the finalist beforehand, but always goes through all the lower rounds first. We've seen other elite players go out earlier, but Jonas ALWAYS makes it to the finals. Just to emphasize on that: Jonas' worst run in the CTWC history is 2nd place!
Patrick vs Joseph Game 2 is perhaps a quintessential example of the difference it makes being an elite player on level 19. Patrick played a very admirable game and was dead even with Joseph until the transition, but then the score discrepancy between survival burns and tetrises opened up a 200,000 point spread.
That's the difference between what Joseph does, which is playing to win, and what people like me do, which is playing to not lose for a little while. It's hard to compare, but it's only when you start to play that you really get a sense of just how unbelievably good the competitive elites really are.
Sagolel4797 did they even know who Joseph was at this point? This was his first tournament, first match, they’ve seen him qualify but did he enter the streaming scene before coming to CTWC 2018?
It was such an honor to be apart of the CTWC this year. Commentating with Heather through all of these amazing matches still has me buzzin'. I was staying with Zzyzx and Buco that weekend and tried to keep up with them the night before the Tournament. You can hear the pain in my voice... ha! Heather \m/ OWNED \m/ ! Love y'all! - Steve DeLuca (that Goofy Foot guy)
What a power couple. Both Jonas and Heather can commentate. She is good at Dr Mario. Jonas of course good at Tetris. I hope they stay with this community a long time. Once enough data stored maybe a Tetris hall of fame in our gaming community. I appreciate both of you.
Walter Day was there to present some of his cards to acknowledge their accomplishments. Funny thing is... I thought he retired years ago and didn't want to be part of the scene anymore.
Hey Classic Tetris, love your content but maybe in the thumbnail, hide the hearts at the bottom showing who is ahead. It can potentially spoil the results of whatever game the thumbnail is of. Thanks!
I accidentally landed to this page. But damn i'm made about it. This is a rare youtube offering which i can't resist without watching till the end without scroll
I want to see more games with her commentating! I think it’s amazing that she’s having fun with it, and that’s something she and her husband can do together! What a wonderful and powerful couple!
Willian Oliveira there Are some regional tournaments... there also is a growing livestream community of Tetris on twitch.tv , for example /nubbinsgoody (Jonas) or /jdfmx (Joseph)
@@unisolitario Classic Tetris Monthly. They have a discord and monthly qualifiers with ~50 competitors that's streamed on twitch. Joseph, Koryan, Ben and Jani play there often.
I know it's 5 months late but--I believe it is. IIRC you can only use the classic NES controller, whether it's your own or lended from the organizers. Also they'd inspect your controller to make sure it isn't hacked/modded.
so there's a zero off the end of the scores? ok. But how does that system work? I heard on one of the CTWC videos that Trey coded something that makes it all work, taking the NES video and turning it into the crisp display we see, and overlaying all the cool info that we also see -- but just after they mentioned that, and before the actual explanation, the commentators trailed off and left it hanging. Can someone give us some detail? Even a video explaining how it's done -- even an interview with Trey?
Nes, not snes. Im not sure exactly how it works. I tweeted at trey for an explanation video but no response, maybe he did but i havent used twitter since. So from my understanding he is reading values from the cartridge ram with game genie, and then he is redrawing the game on the pc's that are streaming it. I think the players are still playing the regular game on CRT to avoid latency, after level 18 its almost impossible on a modern tv/screen. If you have any specific questions about it I can do my best at guessing, im a coder myself so i have a fairly good idea how it would be dond.
The software that composites/draws the games into our stream reads the scores from the NES video feeds. It has a few different options and they just weren't configured correctly, they had been set for the previous days qualifying rounds and in the rush to get everything setup Sunday morning we didn't notice that it had not been configured for vs mode competition until midway through Jonas's game. Hope that makes some sense? Thanks for watching!
how do you beat that kid.. I mean he gets better as the speed increases... Then lvl 30 to him is not kill screen... what do you have to do to beat him?
I want to see a match between Jeff and Joseph. "BOOM! Tetris for Jeff!" vs "BOOM! Tetris for Joseph!". Wonder how often the commentators would mix up their names, lol.
I know im late, but i think the finals (Jonas v Joseph) kinda gets mixed up as well. Not only that, but in more later rounds, especcialy top 8 and top 16, joseph gets mixed up with jonas, even though Jonas wasnt even playing. Hope that was close enough
Good God. 😰😰 Joseph Saelee put the hammer down against Patrick in game 2. Dead heat until the level 19 transition, then Joseph just turned into a Bullet Bill in terms of Tetris clears. 😂😂😂😂
CTWC SHOULD MAKE JONAS-STYLE BOMBER JACKETS FOR FANS TO BUY!!!!!!!! ON THE BACK, THEY COULD HAVE THE WORDS, "BOOM, TETRIS FOR JONAS!!!!!!" FRAMED AROUND A PIC OF HIS SMILING FACE!!!!!!!!! ;*D
Lv.15 shouldn't be played here.. this is a "World Championship" right? Not hating.. love watching CTWC but yeah, my point still stands.. all player should start and play from Lv.18 regardless you're a higher seed or a lower seed..
No need for Joseph to qualify, this is just warmup for him, these opponents are playthings LOL They have ZERO chance of winning!! they struggle and burn when he is scoring tetrises with almost no effort LMAO its like a Formula One car racing an electric wheelchair !! So predictable.
you can tell it was early in the morning when you hear "boom tetris for jonas" after he does a single
Lololol what time?

Nice! Heather - Great job on the commentating!, you are a natural at it
Heather has a very enthusiastic personality
"Don't go chasing center wells" almost killed me lol
Bogdan Lazar you just contradicted yourself?
Bogdan Lazar “she wasn’t nice to Joseph” “she likes the younger better player” that’s Joseph am I correct?
Yeah, she's fantastic.
1:10 they're counting down to the start of the tournament on the main stage, when it's already started lol
I wish I was at a classic tetris world champtionship before I was 1 year old! 20:49 lucky kid!
even if patrick didn’t have much on joseph, he had some of the best digs out of sticky situations i’ve seen yet lol
no such thing as have or succesx or not, do any nmw is perfx
My first time watching full rounds from Trey and Joseph and I really enjoyed their matches. Was cool to watch Jonas and Harry as well.
Been waiting for this, wanted to see all the early side rounds, especially Joseph
The commentary is excellent. Listening to them while watching is so enjoyable. :)
Thankgoodness for the mute button.
All these players are amazing. Such amazing, enviable skills.
9:45 thirsty for that long bar huh?

No doubt, Joseph is going to win. His hyper tap play is so strong that he gets past most piece dependency situations, and even most miss drops .
Never underestimate the side event. Jonas, Harry, Trey, Joseph, and Heather!
loving the sonic mania music faintly playing in the background of Jonas vs. David Rd.1
Is that Jonas’ wife on commentary?
Joseph came out of nowhere and just obliterated this year's ctwc. On his year he becomes the champion. Crazy skills
Is she Jonas wife? She did an amazing work!
Yes, she is. Yes, she did!
I want to see more games with her commentating! I think it’s amazing that she’s having fun with it, and that’s something she and her husband can do together! What a wonderful and powerful couple!
Jonas is just a great Person!
While David had some recurring mistakes (perennial well coverage), he played admirably in his second game, and really stepped up gears. Great job!
Trey and Jonas *REALLY* inspire me on a human level.
Both commentators here were excellent.
Since when Kratos plays Tetris?
Are there some place where we can watch regular matches of Classic Tetris? Some regular league? It's so sad see only one tournament by year.

He talked about that when he played Jonas in the garage.

How do they ensure that both players are getting the exact same pieces in the exact same order?

Jefferson Huang slow and steady wins the race
Studiopolis in the background, bonus.

Does anyone know where to get an NES with tetris. I cant find one at all

What’s the BRN stat mean?
Lines that were burned, that is, lines that were singles, doubles or triples, not tetris
What's a side match?
Side matches are matches that were not played on the main stage. This was the first year that the side matches were recorded.
