The TwitchRivals Tetris Grand Finals Were a DISASTER

"95–41: Hafu in the lead" is hilarious. It makes the first game sound like no next box at 18 speed.

The commentators were making some awfully bold statements. If you're mostly familiar with classic-style Tetris, their confidence in their obliviousness to try and generate hype is peak comedy.

My completely honest guess is that the organizers saw "Classic Score Attack," just assumed that that was the normal basic version of Tetris, and ran with that without digging any deeper. In my limited experience watching Twitch Rivals, the events tend to be incredibly scuffed and poorly organized. My only surprise is that this even carries over to their live events.

In the end, the event organizers made a mistake by not telling the players they were playing Classic Score Attack in the Finals. It's a shame because the players had the potential to go the distance and make it an exciting match. They just needed a bit of practice on Classic Tetris. Instead, the players were practicing Modern Tetris before their Match. P.S. That was a great way to incorporate a sponsorship into a video

What I feel is the same as how a Korean feels watching me play Starcraft against my grandma.

95-41 what is this? a no rotation game?

Glad to see you covering this 😁 When I first watched it I couldn't stop laughing, the tiny points vs the competitive 2+ million

A part of me wish they even tried to research what is a commentary of Tetris beforehand and everything else of me thinks it's exactly perfect as it is, because I'm losing it laughing.

That's why I like doing tournaments for rookies (<300K PB limit). 3 attempts at B-type (any level) as quals. Starting level choose 5-9, giving advices while commentating and watching how people approach the situation. Some even decide to then stay in the community and become more competitive onver time.

This is truly the tetris match of all time.

hats off to the competitors for trying to respect starting speeds of the world championships by insisting on pushing down even when they didn't know how to stack

Tbh, if they choose Tetris for the final game, why not bring a commentator from the scene, or invite somebody in, who knows how the game works (Like a World Champion, or a finalists). Cause that would have been a lot more interesting and easier to watch. Just letting people commente, who don't know anything about the game wasn't really interesting.

The inrony in your voice when you said you weren't able to think of a better way to start the first year of marrage than with an endless supply of Doritos tho 😂😂😂

Can't wait to see the graphs for this 😁

physical and emotional pain I bet every person who has played nes tetris for more than 1 month also has the same pain as me

As long as you get people who are willing to understand what they are going into it could be amazing. Creator Clash was a good version of YouTube boxing for that reason. And if these players were told the correct version I imagine it could have been good

At least they played tetris and where all close in skill level

Part of me wonders what would’ve happened if these guys had practice on Classic Tetris. We’d probably get quite the show on the commentary, huh?

I'm not super into Tetris but I do follow professional chess and I can play at a decent level, and whenever people think of snobby sports, none come to mind more than chess. When the pogchamps tournaments first started, so many people had that view of pogchamps ruining chess and that it's making a mockery of the game, but I think most people view these twitch tournaments more as just a bit of harmless fun and who knows, maybe some of those viewers will go on to join the community and start following the pro scene that they never would have otherwise

the diving board strat xD that's hilarious xD
