How the 2022 World Championships Changed Classic Tetris Forever

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 🙏

wow, what a video. easily the best thing you've ever created. really feels like I was there again ❤

I can't believe that we get to do this every year. Next week can't come soon enough.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

gotta watch the rest of this later but it looks epic

"BOOM! Tetris for Jonas!" R.I.P. My guy

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.

LETS GOOOOO!!!! excited to see everybody at ctwc! And to watch this video!

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!

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

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

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

The sportsmanship is so nice to see. The immediate hugging as soon as Eric won was just great.

Bringing that CRT shell was the best thing I did, everybody loved it

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!

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.
