    Note: Dmj also has a 1.2 with das, so he was still no slouch

    Yo that's me!! XD About a month prior to this video, I actually did not realize that my win was considered the biggest upset in CTWC competition history. It shocks me to know it is, let alone it being in the top 10 all-time upsets. Also, WOW that was a nailbiter! Great job with this video and your performance at the qualifier aGameScout! :D

    It's been nice to see your growth in Tetris over the years in your videos and it's insane how much you have improved.
  • @christophergolfer
    DMJ intentionally played with DAS to make it a close match so he would get featured in a Scout video.
  • @brendendavis4466
    Growing up with dmj it’s crazy watching him grow in his Tetris success and becoming one of the best in the world! Super proud of this man.
  • @ravins4786
    A minor correction: In modern Tetris, ex tetrio / jstris , or ppt 1 or 2 (many other games as well) you are not guaranteed to get a piece after 7 peices, there is a bag system where all 7 pieces are in that bag, and you randomly take pieces out until the next bag (this is the most simple way to explain or imagine this), so while yes you do get and I piece every 7 lines (on average), you can get it anywhere from no no drought in pieces to a 12 piece drought.
  • @AMJProductions
    Fantastic fantastic playing dude! I really hope that we get to do another match against one another, would be really fun!
  • @bassguitarbill
    The diagrams where you show the hypothetical options for where to drop something, I've honestly never seen anything so helpful and informative in any other Tetris video, I understood exactly what you were talking about
  • NICEEE!!! Above and beyond performances like these against people above your level is always a joy. Congrats for the double tournament PBs!
  • @real.bingus
    love seeing in-person competition content, warms my heart seeing how wonderful this community is ❤️❤️❤️ also WOW you popped off scout GGs
  • @bilbop4962
    these guys are pretty decent at tetris
  • @FloydMaxwell
    So exciting. Keep up the tournament efforts and great video (as always).
  • @billepperson2662
    Congrats on 3rd place! Been watching for 5 years @ this point (time flies!), You've really put in the work, you should be incredibly proud of your performance!
  • @How_Many_Monkeys
    Wow your Tetris skills have just gotten so much better over the last couple years, you should be really proud! Also, no one can make a Tetris match sound more exciting than Scout lol
  • @user-bm2rt5xn6k
    Classic Tetris is implementing ELO system now? That's pretty cool
