At the 2018 CTWC, we decided to hold a 0-19 Speedrun tournament. The objective is to be the first player to reach level 19 starting from level 0. Four groups of four were randomly chosen, and the winner of each group advanced to the Final Round. With commentary by Arda Ocal and Adam Cornelius. (NOTE: please ignore finishing times quoted by commentators.)
In the 1990 Nintendo World Championship competition, Tetris was the game to beat. The winner, Thor Aackerlund, is still seen by many as the best to have ever played. Today’s Classic Tetris tournaments are played on that same version of Nintendo Tetris, using original NES game systems, controllers, and Tetris cartridges. In 2009, a player named Harry Hong became the first to achieve the highest possible score of 999,999 points. Inspired by this achievement, filmmaker Adam Cornelius produced a short film about Harry called “Max-Out”, and launched a Kickstarter campaign to document the world of competitive Tetris. As word of Adam’s Kickstarter campaign spread, rumors of max-out scores from other Tetris Masters began to surface, threatening the supremacy of Harry’s achievement. With the help of Nintendo World Championship veteran Robin Mihara, Adam searched for all of the Tetris Masters he could find. Jonas Neubauer emerged as an early max-out artist, along with the elusive original champ Thor Aackerlund. The idea of bringing these and other NES Tetris Masters together to compete in a live tournament became an obvious and irresistible proposition which was artfully captured in the 2010 feature length documentary Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters. Under the leadership of producer Vince Clemente, The Classic Tetris World Championship is currently held at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, an annual event which has hosted the tournament since 2012. Chuck Van Pelt and his organizing committee have built the PRGE into the largest classic gaming expo in the country, drawing around 9000 attendees. Every year the scores get higher. Rivalries are revisited once again, and new players emerge to challenge the old guard. Over 30 players have maxed out the score now. Will you be the next? ecstasyoforder.com thectwc.com

Lol Joseph comes in like "STEP ASIDE MORTALS"
Lol
Greentea has the best thumbnail portraits 😆
first
I pressed on the vid just 4 him😭
hes always happy
18:38
The dude came from Japan and you seriously couldn't restart the game for him? #justice4greentea
yea like wtf got totally screwed. but is always cheerful happy none the less.
He was laughing his face off lmao
He should've made sure his controller worked before coming all the way from Japan. I mean, I would.
Jarrod Stemen They are supplied to them just before their match so they cannot tamper with the controller
Isaac Wells Many players bring their own controllers
I get anxiety from Joseph's playstyle
There's a long bar
Puts it on the left
There's another long bar
Puts it on the left
Ahhhh!
yeah sometimes it seemed stupid cuz he would already be really high up there and he'd still keep stacking them on the left. i kept hoping he would top out doing that stupid shit.
@@Jack_80 Pretty sure he knows better than you lol
@@Harmonic14 Current world champ, pretty sure your right XD
Jack M it’s an early level. He knows his limits.
I feel bad for greentea, he got screwed with the faulty controller
#ControllerGate #JusticeForGreenTea
guess that's why in most tournaments they practice a little before the actual game starts.
would have loved to see him advance further.
yea wasn't fair at all.
I agree it sucks about the faulty controller but it was his controller.
Greentea is so pure. Must protect.
I'm a simple man. I see Greentea, I click the video
Thiago Marques I See Joseph I click lol
Same, him, Joseph and Jona's are my favorite top players
@@AsianVSUsllUsLost same
Whats Green Tea's youtube account?
@@gomezramonjr.9849 greentea suitou
Now I'm really wondering what GreenTea's ID card photo looks like.
ONLY GREENTEA COULD SMILE WHEN PLAYING WITH A BAD CONTROLLER.
Green Tea is my favorite CTWC player.
he's so animated and cheerful
"hello baby"
"I like your bib- very cool"
That what i hear.. but i guess it was bead
Tbh mood
Never imagined the first CTWC event I got to participate in would be on a Level 0 start! It was incredibly fun to try and figure out new strategies on the fly and see how everyone else adapted to the unusual perimeters of the competition.
No one can take away you beating Greentea.
Some really nice playing there, mad props!
“Hey there’s another baby! Hi baby!” Lmaooo
Greantea is so precious! How can you not love the guy. Hope to see him again this year!
Agree
Friday topping out at such a low level. The resistance to opening up the well/cleaning up the board was making me so nervous it was only a matter of time.
I love how the commentator got distracted by a baby
Kauser is the mutant version of Koryan
If I'm not mistaken is Koryan, but with Hauser absorbed.
Hauser has sold his rights :D
Thanks for clearing that up 😄
Bet there was a bit of tension between the two commentators, one was calling him Kauser and the other Koryan.
WHOE LET THE KOWS OUT??????!!!!!!
I owe Trey
They should have restarted 😐 You are the best to watch Greentea, much love
Big oofs but still great job.
GREENTEA, YOUR SCREAM OF HORROR UPON REALISING YOUR CONTROLLER IS BAD IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS WHOLE VIDEO!!!!
Get 'im a supply of a month's worth of green tea drinks? :)
I don;t understand why they didin't restart that :P
gl in the coming events
for 2019, you guys should add a counter for how many times Kauser gets called Koryan by accident!
Shannon Paturel kauser is koryan
I love how you keep satisfied with tetris!
7:43 "Chris' last name is Tang, right?" Lol
Lars was giving me anxiety in the middle of group1's gameplay.
I want to slap his controller, and says : "lars, please go home already" jk.
BROOOOOO . You just so me
Game 2: Joseph win by scare tactic.
Damn, every time he went one level higher, he'd look at others and considered, "did I go too fast?" Then hold on until almost top row before slamming one tetris after another.
All 3 competitors got intimidated silly.
Joseph: Wait, am I suppose to be slow?
29:16 "Very high is Koryan right now."
lol
the commentator is high
29:20 "oh he needed that line"
Well, it is Portland. So...
"Nice double meaning by Koryan right now"
Love all these challenges to have more Tetris competition
Trey is the real mvp, nice guy
Trey is the nicest man in all of tetris. Just an amazing guy.
Yeah! And his garage is super-famous arena for tetris play, too, apparently ;)
For sure.
Oh man, koryan is so good he did even play and made it to the finals!
The commentator seems to periodically forget what the players are trying to do. He keeps talking about their tetris rate and the risk of building high. The whole point is to build high so you can get lines faster. Tetrises are completely meaningless.
He honestly kinda annoys me
Tetrises are not meaningless. They talked about it at one point but the animation for a Tetris is the same speed as a single line clear. This means that clearing 4 lines individually is 4x as slow as getting a Tetris (in terms of animation length, which in a challenge to clear 200 lines, it definitely adds up.) Of course TRT isn't as important as playing high, but it's still a factor and definitely not meaningless.
@@rahcassi5416 If this was TAS then yes, would have to consider those frames lost. Now it means nothing compared to the drop time they lose.. Minutes!
@@HannesW123 Well now with the video in front of our eyes we can see that drop times are significantly lower when you are building high, because you are pressured and need the time to not make bad decisions.
Even though Joseph hypertaps he never went as high as most and he smoked everyone with a high TRT
I mean at the end of the day, the overwhelmingly most important factor is the percentage of time you are holding down. My point is just that the commentary was totally unhelpful, on this point or any other.
15:56 synchronized
Joseph and Koryan dude... Tappy bois need to be nerfed
It was extremely cool to see how the competitors were supporting each other.
I LIKE HOW CHRIS ACTUALLY PLAYS TETRIS AS OPPOSED TO JUST BEING EXCLUSIVELY A COMMENTATOR!!!!!! SHOWS HIS PASSION FOR IT!!!
7:29 "I like your bib! Very cool" istg I enjoy the commentating as much as I enjoy watching the game hahaha
OH MY GOODNESS, never let the first guy commentate ever again. It took everything in my heart of hearts not to dislike this video because of him.
Greentea is so likeable, just a kind japanese guy laughing and smiling at everything. A real inspiration to just smile and laugh more over things.
Interesting format. Can't wait to see the final.
Bang! Tetris for Tang!
greentea reminds me of aMSa
It's_Ogre I'm pretty sure Tetris is older than Yoshi anyways.
Gotta love the Classic Tetris community
how do u top out at level 5 lmfao
MrOrangetriad by getting greedy high up and not getting good pieces
@@friday_witch aka trash
@@MrOrangetriad Friday was at Level 3 tho XD
fridaywitch imagine blaming it on the pieces lmao
fridaywitch you could still like figure it out on that drop speed.
Idk why but whenever I look at greentea, i become happy 😃
This competition is brutal.
Joseph doesn’t automatically advance unless he makes level 19 even though all his opponents already lost. His first round seemed extremely easier than the other opponents in this competition.
Wtf was Friday doing she screwed herself over on so many tetrises if that's a word
I'm watching her game play and legit wondering why she made the placement choices that she made..
Yeah, she made terrible choices. She must hate getting Tetris' because she constantly covered up her wells for no reason. Even when she could put an I block in a well to make a Tetris she didn't do it, LOL!
So painful to watch her... How does she even qualify
Right like... I thought I was going mad
Why did her name change midgame from jessica to Friday doe 😂😂
This is somehow incredibly mesmerizing.
This was the best side event to watch (live) in my view.
Is there anyone in the tetris community more underappreciated than Trey? especially how entertaining his style of play is, its like an emotional rollercoaster
Justin and Lars seem like really cool dudes. Would love to see them more often!
I'm a simple girl, I see Joseph, I click.
I have no idea whats going on, ive never been here before but its very satisfying to watch
Kory... I mean, er, Kauser... Blasted through that like a cyborg on cyber-roids. Watching him digging at the top with only about 5 lines of free space @ mid-speed, and he treated it like it was level 0 and he had all the time in the world. I'd have panicked and topped out just looking at it.
The lad is a machine!
Wonder why he goes by kauser outside the main tourney, though.
I don't think he intended to play that high, u can see his reaction of regret when he places that vertical long bar and his relief when he makes a Tetris afterwards.
He was lucky he got good pieces when he was at the very top, and of course insane skill and fast decision making, only a few people could have survived that
I have never imagined that Tetris can be so entertaining.
building tall is an advantage here, it does so pieces hit other pieces faster.
im always watch it before i sleep😂
15:17 My goodness Joseph hyper-tapping legend!
Round 1
People playing:Lars, Svavar, Frank and Player 4
I love Paul’s sportsmanship
Great commentary
GreenTea so great we love you for surviving so well!
Also I kinda feel bad for saying this but I suspected Friday to fail because of the stupidly stereotypical “witch” garb
the way that Greentea laughs and everyone else keeps their focus faces makes my day
I could take these guys for sure. I used to play Tetris for money in the 90's!
I always get this goodvibes whenever i see greentea playing while he smiles at his heart content
26:13 oh he decided to skip it over 😂😂
Greentea's faces. XD
According to all super fast videos watched this is painfully to experience :D
That duel Tetris at 31:35 was beautiful!
when i see the green tean expressions my life turn so good
Greentea's play puts me on edge. Like why does he constantly use line pieces to build his tower instead of going for those tetrises that'll give him more room to work with? His early downfall was his own doing.
Koryan is such a beast, eeeh... I mean Kauser ^_^'
Yeah what was that about??
@@pseudonayme7717 I think its a tribute to quaid/hauser
Day 4, they still thing I'm Koryan
7:22 that's adorable
Joseph’s sleeve blends with the metal frame on Paul’s screen. Thought his arm was 2 1/2 times longer! 😂
Joseph is just on a whole other level than everyone else!
2:24 with super sad voice "boom tetris for swavscshaAR"
I thought the commentator was trying to set up a joke at 1:04, but he was just bringing up a fact
28:51 NO WAY! Was that a quad tetris right there?!!
No.
Nah a simultetris from 3 players
Robin had a triple. Darn you, Robin. How dare you.
that year was the end of many eras.
the end of chris' hair
the end of jonas' streak
ok I could only think of 2
Damn, Alex beat Packie being saddled with more droughts. 😂😂
Koryan's mullet is too strong. No one man should have all that power! Check out his profile on the speedrun website see more of his amazing Tetris speedruns.
One day I want to see Chris Tang playing tetris like now and commenting for all 4 players at the same time!
Boom! Tetris for me!
31:20 how is it possible to stay high and also be clean? 🤔
Koryan as Kauser is the best, this is amazing
Clicked just because of greentea in the thumbnail
Love you Greentea.
28:50 the satisfaction :OOOO
18:40 that Greentea's face omegalul
Does a tetris give you more points the higher up your screen is? Is a tetris at line 1 worth less than a tetris at line 5?
This is so entertaining lol
It’s 3 AM and I am watching Tetris :D
I notice Joseph had to dumb down his play so he doesn't get too far ahead too quickly starting around 10:07
Man I really want to play Tetris now
ikr, i've been looking for this version but seems like the only way i'll get it is if i get on ebay and get an nes and tetris cartridge. with it being so popular, you'd think they would have the original tetris available on modern consoles.
Is there a way for normal players to get access to custom tetris UI that you see in these tournaments?
2:56 I forgot how much I love the commentary in this video
7:22 best part of the whole video 😂
Would a high stack not be favorible as you can create lines faster and thus level up faster?
Kuaser? Its like son of Koryan and Huaser, that is evil twin of Quaid?
BOOM! Chris for Tetris!
Drop what you're doing! BOOM TETRIS!
thats literally what i did :D
Tetris life!
Hey guys, does anyone know BLOCKLIGHT(a tetris new version), avaliable in google play?
Mike looks like he'll kill somebody if he loses
First match. The guy in the upper left hand corner is insane.
