The Most Pivotal Moment in Classic Tetris History

This is a supercut of all my footage of the 2018 CTWC, including a bunch of clips that never made it into the original 2018 experience video. With CTWC 2022 just about to start, I’m looking forward to seeing just how much the scene has grown since then - while at the same time remembering how Jonas and Joseph shaped it into what it is today.

So I was unaware of the trophy and name change. But damnit I’m so happy they’ve done it. The NFL has the Lombardi trophy and now the CTWC has the Neubauer J piece. This is the way it should be. Absolutely beautiful.

Honestly kills me to see Jonas. What an A+ human being. Really sad I never got to meet him

You know it’s a good week when scout uploads 2 days in a row

"Tetris is a community that is growing, that has wonderful dedicated people in it, and is just something I want to be around." ~Jonas~

Jonas, so classy. RIP.

Jonas' streams were such a chill place to hang out. I'd put it on just for his laugh and the banging tunes he would play. Sad he isn't with us anymore, but grateful for the time we had with him.

Very cool! That's sad that Joseph won't participate this year CTWC. Wanted to watch him very much. And of course it's very unfortunate that Jonas will never see how everything changed...

The match between Jonas and Joseph The moment that inspired many players from new generation all around the world thanks to them, how that new generation of players brought the game to the next level Thats just indescribable. Cant wait to see tournament in this weekend. Also sometimes these raw footage without extra editing makes it more memorable.

Ugh, Scout has me crying again. Well done! Safe travels and I hope that it's another life changing weekend for the Tetris community. Best of luck to all the competitiors!

thank you scout for pumping out this content before ctwc!

In my eyes, Jonas Neubauer's death was the most tragic in gaming history. He was such a great human being, but a pre-existing condition just had to overwhelm him.

Scout why did you stock up on onions 😭😭😭 All I can say again is thank you for all you do, and specifically for sharing this footage. It really captures a moment in time, a moment so important to us and that we so treasure. This weekend will truly be in the spirit of Jonas and Joseph. 💘 See you tomorrow!!

Thank you Scout for all that you do ❤

I discovered in 2019 that Tetris World Championships were a thing and got hooked and watched all the old CTWCs on YouTube up to the 2018 final. I loved every minute of it and rewatched everything in 2021 again for nostalgia for the live events. Believe it or not, I even watched the 2018 CTWC videos on a date night with a girl I really liked and we kissed that night, which makes for even better memories. 😃 Watching CTWC and also the Dr. Mario side tournaments helped me through some sad times in 2019 and kinda rang in better times for me. I’m really grateful for that and I think it’s soon time to re-watch the old tournaments again!

Thank you for sharing the footage, and leaving it natural as is. Its always so bittersweet seeing Jonas in play and discussion anymore. You always do him justice and the whole community with your kindness and coverage efforts. Looking fwd to the next few days with the results.

These clips of them behind the crtv is the first time I felt like I saw Jonas live. Totally diff experience than seeing his face playing on the big screen as the match videos are displayed.

I am not crying, you are crying

When the killscreen was lethal.. Thanks for that simple yet amazing look back!

Watching this from the airport on the way to Portland! Can't wait to meet all you guys :D
