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 10,000 attendees. Every year the scores get higher. Rivalries are revisited once again, and new players emerge to challenge the old guard. Over 100 players have maxed out the score now. Will you be the next? ecstasyoforder.com thectwc.com

This is absolutely insane. I hope Jonas is proud of how the game he pioneered evolved.
I'm sure he Is watching Joseph and saying "that's ma boi"
Jonas :(
I have to say this in honor of the goat. Boom Tetris for Jonas may he enjoy his whiskey and Tetris in peace
@@brodie29a I had no idea he passed away. So sad to hear this!

Are you freaking kidding me?
Couples of years ago this kind of performance level was unthinkable!
Now in2022, world championship final reach 2 million point 😅
@@messivsronaldostudio4643and now 😅
Meh this is Tee-ball, this is mini-golf compared to where we are in 2024. 😅
Games 3 and 5 were absolutely brutal. Ruins would've won with one more tetris both times, had it set up, but the long bar didn't come.
Good job on interviews and your own channel is awesome
sup aGameScout!
Probably the best match of the top 8. This was absolutely insane. Joseph and ruins just absolutely destroyed this game. Even when rewatching it my jaw is hanging open the entire time.
Best tetris match of all time actually. The most exciting, from the beginning to the end each point was won by a thread, and always with enormous scores. I still can't believe Richy lost the last one, I was thinking "it's the end Joseph has lost", but no. Amazing.
I don't watch every monthly tournaments so I don't know every single match, but no match I've ever seen come close to the one in this video, by a large margin. Clearly the best shit ever.
This one and the ruins vs meme match are the top two from the tourney IMO
@@kacperzimowski4626 You should stop randomly assuming stuff about people. I was rooting for Huff in this top8 and though I find Joseph very impressive as player, I don't especially prefer him over the other great players. I don't even know why I'm justifying myself to a kid (or a troll) like you.
But clearly I think this match here was the most exciting, though the demi-final Huff/Joseph was almost as great too.
In the final, I felt like Dog was a little too dominating, so it was a bit less exciting. But that's being very picky, it was still great.
@@kacperzimowski4626 imagine trashtalking people that show appreciation to good play. Why are you so salty? You can make an ocean with all that salt
@@kacperzimowski4626 this is objectively, by definition, the best game ever played in CTWC due to the insanely high and consistent scores put up, this entire comment section is full of good people, don’t ruin it with your bs claims
Richy might've just inspired a new generation of rollers with his prolific killscreen aggression alone. What a match!
W
reminds me of joseph and jonas, deja vu
This is by far the best video you guys have made. Incredible commentary, explaining rules, termonology etc. Been watching for a while, basically every since JDM joined and never truly understood some stuff lol. These 2 commentators are the only ones I like listening to. They are so into it and its so wholesome :D
Listen to Vandweller and your opinion will change - he is the best and I wish they’d let him do the bigger matches next year
Nobody beats james chen! Even tho he can be lowkey bias in asians favors. Its too adorable to hear him groal every one and then
@@mukburbur696 I like vandweller but he gets a little too sidetracked often. He doesn't focus on the game as much as he should sometimes
BOOM!!! Tetris for them!
@@brightonpopsoff4970 Same. I like him but he often talks too much about other stuff during the game.
Absolutely insane match. Max outs aren't enough at all to guarantee a victory and Joseph who was dominating 2018 and 2019 being pushed to the absolute limit to barely come out with a victory. Absolutely insane stuff best CTWC match I've watched bar none.
To think it took nearly a decade before we saw the first max out during CTWC play. Now we regularly see double max out, double kill screens. Amazing how fast the competition has evolved is a few short years
When was the first maxout during ctwc?
@@Karol-mx5nl 2019 greentea vs joseph
@@DanVWeller dang I thought it was just the first double max out
@@Yurusan717 joseph got the first one the game before the double maxout iirc
This is probably the best Tetris match ever. The level of play was insane
Super high level play but it lacked the hype which the crowd brings when playing in person. I can't wait for when the crowd is back.
@@MaggotDiggo1 yeah dude. A live crowd would have gone nuts over this game
This is my Super Bowl. So appreciative that Robin, Vince, Trey and Adam made this happen years ago. I’ve said it before, these youngsters are on another level but Jonas will forever be the champ!!
At 19:40 you can see Joseph switching to rolling during the killscreen lmao
Gets that practice in, he's going to need it next year
He's nowhere near ready to use that yet, he almost doesn't even need to really to be honest just like Dog there fundamentals speed and etc are essentially maxed out, the problem is thanks to roiling its getting to the point where you can basically play a perfect game get to 1.23 mil every time on level 29 and the roller will always have the advantage.....so catch up games will become more and more a factor. Which is totally fair not complaining even if I dont entirely like that aspect and where its going but its all legit fair and takes supreme skill but it essentially means eventually even Joseph and Dog will likely have to adapt or try and be in the lead by 300 k by level 29 and hope rollers cant surpass them with post kill screen play....this especially unfortunately applies to elites like Koryan and even Nenu who are a 10 out of 10 in there stacking/ iq/fundamentals but there speed even for hyper tappers is really just average to slightly above average at best so they risk being left behind without rolling unfortunately.....but for now its not a huge factor but its already starting to be for sure....Josephs just pure natural skill and amazing stacking for now get him through though, the mans a true great straight up as is Dog!. Meanwhile Richie and Huff and Hydrant and Cheeze here's potential is unknowable however for now Dog and Joseph there stacking is blatantly superior as well as there maxed out hyper tap speed for now and that gets them through without rolling!..for now!...For now!.
Oh shoot, that's actually hilarious. Didn't see that until I saw this comment.
Man, I wanna see Joseph rolling, hopefully college is not going to take all his time lol, those teenagers just have infinite amount of time and energy lol, I miss those days
And when I said a couple of years ago the same argument (that kid Joseph had infinitely more time to practise than adult, life full of responsabilities Jonas (may The Legend Rest in Peace), a commentator from the tetris comunity who I won't name, basically just lectured me saying I was wrong and I just had to back off so I wouldn't waste my time with his BS. Let's just play Captain Obvious for once. Kids ALWAYS, ALWAYS have more free time than grown ups or people moving up in life to practise video games. That's so obvious it hurts.
@ actually no, because of homework, projects, and extracurriculars, as well as early/middle college. Kids generally have way less time, wake up at basically the 4 am equivalent for adults, and have their growths stunted because of school lmao
@@LotusEli are you an adult? It seems that you haven't experienced adult life to throw such statement lol, for these kids that are smart, middle school is a joke, I remember in highschool I used to study only the day before and that was enough for getting 90% or better, and I am no genius, these kids are way more intelligent and exposed to knowledge than I was so I know what I am talking about, also the stamina levels are completely different.
@@gabrielbarrantes6946 I've been working class for the past 8 months and I can say I only had more time as a kid because I got a GCSE and dipped.
@@LotusEli yeah, saw the replies above, just what I thought. Man, no disrespect, but I can't even begin to waste time discussing this, even if I wanted. I'm on my way to the door, but before let's just put it this way: even in college (already far, far beyond the life complexity levels Dog's or 16 yo Joseph were facing), I literally had time to waste my entire pockets on Dreamcast games and other 6th gen consoles and play them to no end. Life was simple as that. Now at 40, I barelly have time to do the extremely important, extremely urgent, extremely fundamental and actually life dependent tasks. If each day had 48h, it still wouldn't be enough. I haven't powered on my favorite ever console in 3.5 months. Other consoles weren't turned on in 12 months and counting. And I really wanna play them, I just can't find time or energy. Hope this puts it in perspective. Jonas doing what he was doing while being a 35+ yo man, full of responsabilities, wife, house, bills, taxes, was on a different level. Have a good day my good sir, I'm out.
it was sad, richy got nervous and started to make a lot of mistakes he usually doesnt make, i would love to see richy vs huff, still crazy games
Spoiler:
Actually Huff did the same mistake that richy did while playing against dog.
I still think Joseph can defeat Huff and is the better player overall, in fact how well Joseph did in CTWC 20921 against an even better version of Huff then last year was really amazing to see, I know for a fact Joseph put in way less overall play/practice even tournament competing time then most of the other say top 30 players did for most of the year 2021 I think he won like January or Februarys CTM dude was clearly depressed about Jonas poor kid but he played great won that CTM then pretty much went into hiatus played few more events at random in 2021 and yet when the main event came he was able to beat all these amazing players tappers rollers and he actually played better then Huff all around Huff was just barely able to beat Joseph by literally pulling out 2 crazy post 29 rolling chase score games ya know. Point is thats how much of a natural Joseph is still. Anyhow Huff deserved the win in the end and Joseph is officially down 0-2 to Huff in CTWC tournament play but I think hel win next time even without rolling whether he can master it or not.But will see.
28:23 They t spin at the same time
I remember watching this match at 3 am and tried not to make noise because everyone in the house was sleeping 🤣
I love how Joseph switched to rolling temporarily in the post-post of Game 2.
I also love that even somebody as good as him can't just roll without practicing it because it's a difficult thing to master but incredibly useful
@@wowzerspotato5104 he said he was practicing rolling though, but not as much as these rollers
@@wowzerspotato5104 tapping and rolling aren't the same thing at all so that's normal
I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out! Great observation
holy shit how did i miss that
Damn. I first started watching competitive tetris back in 2018 and I remember Joseph being so dominant with his tapping - he could pull himself out of what seemed like impossible (at the time) situations, and the elite DAS old guards had to rely on superior tetris rates in the early game to compete. Not even 5 years later tapping is looking slow compared to what the rollers are doing and Joseph is finding himself in the same spot as Jonas was back then. It's absolutely unbelievable.
Rolling is the future. This match, even though Rich lost, shows the power of the technique. Ya boy Rich was calm as an old man on a porch Sunday morning.
Wow, this year CTWC reached a whole new level. Past years there was a visible gap between top 1 and top 8 players, but watching this match I feel like there's no difference, simply anyone can win this time!
That second game where Richy gets 1.34m. That's his personal best right there! It's insane because you'd never know it by watching the level of play during this match. He goes into the kill screen and hits 4 tetris's and gets just about 200k in kill screen. Rolling is the future, this game is an instant classic based off how shocking that end game was. This match alone will go down as one of the great matches that heavily influenced the shift of Tetris and how it's played. It's hard not to feel that way after watching this match. Who better than to help showcase it than that of Joseph, one of the real GOATs and paneers of Tetris. What a match, an absolute classic.
I know you're likely referring to the PB info from the beginning of the video... but his PB before this match is actually a lot higher.
@@melodywawichi802 Oh yeah? Sorry had no idea! Yeah I was a bit shocked to see it at 1.33 after seeing how skilled he is at Tetris and using the rolling technique. Wonder why the stats aren't accurate?
Dude has a 1.6 now
@@DJayAce4 some of the PBs are really recent so that's probably why. I still think they should've had enough time to update it though, it was kinda weird
You can't say nes tetris, without think of Jonas, a DAS god, Tetris for jonas, may the Tetris sound from you ring in our hearts
I love that y’all explain the rules for new viewers. Best announcers out there!
Totally mind-blowing play by both! Hearing Chris and James commentating though makes me miss the live-event of the old CTWC and wonder if that element of the competition is an important factor for some players.
I haven’t been keeping up with Classic Tetris for a little while, so this might not be new, but from this match I’ve noticed that Joseph’s knowledge and mastery of the game have improved so much. I remember when everyone marveled over Jonas’ creative tucks and burns, and Joseph’s play reminded me of that here.
Of course, I don’t want to sell Richy short either. Like I mentioned earlier, I haven’t been keeping up with Classic Tetris much, so I didn’t even know who he was before this match. And I just want to say one thing: How in the world is this guy only the 8 seed??? He put on an amazing showing here, and it’s a shame that someone as good as him is out this early.
I’m really looking forward to watching the future rounds, and great job on the commentary guys!
Youre in for a surprise, there were over 300 maxouts just in qualifiers alone.
@@MrBrodman98 that’s crazy, but after seeing this match I can totally believe it. I watched a bit of qualifiers as well, didn’t some people get multiple maxouts and still not qualify?
Watch the first game in this match, this was just a top 64 match this will give you a taste of what is to come. I've already seen the top 8 and this year is totally unmatched!
ruclips.net/video/Oy34E9KbgbE9/видео.html
@@teeks8713 yes, you needed 2 max outs and a really high 900k to qualify top 64
Clearly, Joseph and Richy were unlucky to encounter each other early in a top 8 match, as they're probably like top 4 at least, even potential champions. It could have gone either way in this match. Amazing players, I still didn't see the other ones but I think it was the harshest match of the top 8.
I like Richy, Class act for his great sportsmanship.
holy shit i started watching this 2 years ago and stopped. Now im back and these new techniques are mind blowing with what they can achieve.
Can you imagine if we were able to have an in-person tournament? Crowd would have been going crazy!
they seriously need to get a new kill screen level now, as more and more new techniques are coming out- whats gonna be next, hyperolling? /j
Haha, nice joke.. unless..?
Richy, you have such humility, and even when you lose, you do it with such class. You sir, are the true inspiration. Kudos
Let’s f’n go Joseph!!! That was close af (had me worried at times)
oh m an this was crazy! definitely a nail biter! congrats Joseph!!! You've always been my favorite!!
clickbaity title but true lol
@@roze8439 no .. just this match
It's a clever title
Jonas would have loved this!😔
So basically with the rolling technique Tetris just became Guitar Hero.
2:39 simu Tetris
20:15 that’s human tas like
47:46 so many 9s
49:05 the upset
man, that was wild. my expectations were set very high, but surpassed nonetheless.
this was such an incredible match. my god. i don't normally comment on videos but i loved every second of this series. Also the interview afterwards by Richie was also really great! :)
Joseph in my opinon is the most efficient stacker I've ever seen.
nerves were definitely a factor.... for the newbies...
can't help but notice how happy Joseph looks playing Tetris. So cute
THIS COMMENT CONTAINS SPOILERS!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD GAME!!! Richy went nuts for that second round I was yelling at the top of my lungs lol. Congrats to Joseph for making top 4, and a huge gg to Richy for making top 8!! This year has been insane, can’t wait to see what happens next :]
RIchy is a roller with great potentials. Look forward to seeing more from him in the future!
27:36 GREAT comparison! I am an AVID poker player and don’t know much at all about tetris so this comparison of Joseph to Chris Moneymaker really helps!
in germany we say: HEFTIG ;-)
44:10 oh yea i remember those games im old lol actually remember those at the arcades. Joust and Track and field.
Great games
48:42 That triple was a mistake. This meant he was that much more likely to only have one more Tetris before level 29. Maybe the difference between winning and losing the decisive game.
Sad Joseph lost against huff this year would’ve been historic and great to see him win 2021 but it fell to dog winning against huff in the final, congrats dog 2021 ctwc winner
It was amazing really while heartbreaking for sure I mean Joseph genuinely is a better overall player then even Huff! his stacking is blatantly objectively superior! the literal difference was rolling/post 29 play to Huffs credit there's nothing wrong with that I'm not whining I'm just saying it was quite literally the difference maker and even with that he just barely just barely beat Joseph! thats how great Joseph is and Huff has probly practiced what 20-30 times more then Joseph has this year! thats how much of a natural great and amazing stacker Joseph is and will always be! but yeah the writing is on the wall eventually its simply gonna come down to either the non roller has to be up by as much as possible by level; 29 and hope the roller cant chase them down using there tapping and better stacking fundamentals....or they will have to adapt and learn rolling to....Huff is amazing elite maybe even 3rd best in the world dont get me wrong....but Joseph in way impressed me even more then Huff did this year despite losing just because how amazing he played perfect stacking maxed out hyper tapping speed a total natural, well played chase downs by Huff though for sure!.
@@danielhicks4826 yeah exactly Joseph is most definitely the most naturally gifted dog coming a close second. If Joseph had been with the times and not had the exam and educational pressure and learnt rolling way back along with his stacking knowledge and a lot more time to practice he’d be hitting consistent 1.5s and 1.6s what these now newly formed rollers have pbed on. With Joseph’s micro adjustment and more freedom with rolling 600K possibly 700k 19- transitions would be very doable for him allowing those high scores. If he does learn rolling which I believe he has been and practices he’ll be the first 2 mil score not on PAL.
21:50 "I know I'm gonna be saying this like the entire day, about how crazy this is, but... this is crazy!"
so true
Richy must learn to line things out/take burns just to get to Level 29, like Huff.
Even if it means passing up on Tetrises on Level 26-28.
He says Level 29 play is his edge, but he won't have a chance to even use his edge if he doesn't even make it there.
Huff did exactly what he needed to do... unfortunately Dog was just too damn good lol.
Edit: Huff also said it's better to line out Level 29 than to go for Tetrises. There's no time limit, so you should take advantage of it. Plus you're more likely to knock off more points in a deficit if you keep the stack low.
woiwoi don't spoil leh
bro i was nervous for joseph, damn
Great match, even better commentary. Wish we had guys like you over in tetrio and jstris tournaments ❤️
reaaaaally impressive game!!! can't wait to see joseph rolling.
Huh. Who would've thought RUclips recommendations would recommend something *good* for once? This gameplay was sick. The commentary not only was engaged, but I actually understood what the terms were and what I was looking at. Makes me wanna dust off the ol' NES and test my mettle in Tetris again.
10,000,000 combined score wr letsgoo
28:22 simultaneous T-spins
What a great match, absolutely ridiculous what these guys can do
*why dont the girls ever bother to play this game at the top levels? or chess or pretty much any game alongside the professionals?*
Toxic masculinity. It’s really sad. Women only get 70% of points per Tetris
@@malarkeymark AHHHH HAHHH-HAHahahaha just like they do with earning $
I'm relatively new to Tetris terminology and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the term "dig" means. I've been able to pick up most of the words and phrases but am a little confused on that one.
I see no one answered your question yet. A dig is when you mess up your stack and get gaps, then need to dig out to get back to a clean board.
I'm surprised at how close the scores were, consistently. Seems that Richy can't chase down yet.
There should be a point in the commentary where the commentators stop explaining the game and focus on what's happening.
19:43 lol Joseph was like "Screw it! Let's try rolling."
Yeah sex is great and all...... but have you seen this game????
this videos are the best late at night
Totally insane scores, that second game with 1.34 million, not so long ago a WR on its own and outright unattainable ... that level 29 gameplay for Richy was unbelievable.
(Only 20 minutes in, but too excited not to comment already)
Let's just add to that: watch to the end!
@@MeriaDuck agreed. Dog may have won the championship and had some truly amazing matches of his own, but I think the honor still goes to these two for the greatest tetris match ever (so far, since the way this scene has evolved it'll definitely be topped!)
holy shit this was tight
what an amazing match. I think if you showed anybody this match with the level of play and the intensity and emotions in it, they’d get hooked on tetris
44:14 having a parent with friends a generation older than I am, playing track and field, but moreso tecmo super bowl against them as a kid forced me to figure out ways to cut corners since they could outsmart me. Never knew there was an entire community that classified hypertapping and this rolling skill is even crazier (although it's impractical for games like tecmo super bowl, both nes contras, and brawls in nes ice hockey.) Scout did present rolling beautifully.
I really think a piece counter metric would be very useful, since we know the piece seeds are the same, knowing what piece the player is on would make it quite interesting
My fucking goodness. What the fuck is this?? Amazing match. I think that game 3 was the decider. Richy had the opportunity to take it but a brutal drought and that was it. So fucking amazing. Thanks for sharing!!
I remember watching the 2019 semi finals of Green Tea vs. Joseph and how Crazy that was with 3 total max outs and one double max out, now theres FIVE MAX OUTS AND TWO DOUBLE MAX OUTS IN A ROW!!!
Absolutely nuts, friggin great job ruins....love it
Every Tetris from these competitors is a Tetris for Jonas! May our OG Tetris Lord rest in peace and never get a long bar drought again.
Why does the guy on the right do that triple tapping thing?!
Its faster
That may have been the greatest match I've seen in anything period. The sheer mastery these two have over this game is so impressive.
Comment just to help the channel, great game, nothing else to say lol
Edit: man such a great game, got hyped again lol, I wish I could play in ctwc some day
28:24 they t spun the exact same time
Rewatching this game with the context of the others made me realize that these two dudes would be champions any other year. It was a brutally well played game each time. Jonas would be astonished and proud that the game he once knew could be played at such a level consistently.
I'm a Joseph fan and will be forever!
Well golly gee, look at this. ruclips.net/video/1-3aU9Vm0h0/видео.html
It seems these speed runners found a way to “level the playing field” in there game of choice so everyone could play. Thank god tetris has rolling and tapping to keep the olds and handicappeds from playing. Wouldn’t that be horrible if you only had to play Tetris and not roll and tap your way to victory.
I dont like James Chen basically saying "If you think "yeah I can do this" go try the Competitive Mode and you will see..." implying that is hard and such, almost feels discouraging...instead he should invite people to go play the competitive mode and give it a shot at playing against people, to enjoy the tournament experience.
Joseph perfect play
Richy Fast Play
They are different but Perfect Play is better I think
GG JOSEPH NICE TRY RICHY
That T spin at 16:55. Just insane. 😳
Can someone explain to me why starting at level 18 leads to higher scores
Lines as well as tetrises are worth more
Slower speed means there's more space for stacking and an increased Tetris rate as a result
@@SamsarasArt but why not level 1
Higher levels mean higher score for line clears. Therefore starting from level 19 yields higher scores but not that much than level 18. Since level 18 is slower than 19, it's much wiser to stack up points there because it's safer and yields scores not far from what 19 can yield.
In CTWC, it's the rule to always start at 18. Back then, players can choose between 15 and 18 start but almost no one started at 15, so 18 start became the rule
The other reason 18 start scores higher is the transitions. If you start at 18 you get 130 lines on level 18. If you start on level 1 you get far less lines on 1, that score less, and then each level only has 10 lines, so significantly lower scoring potential before the kill screen
What a match Richy gonna comeback stronger, but i wanna mention Chris and James commentary as it isnt said much but they never fail to give entertaining announcement respect to them doing it every year
I'm just curious, are players given the same pieces all the time? Who controls the pieces given to the players? Can this game be rigged in favor of the other player? Sorry for my English
Joseph showing his supreme consistency again. Insane match
Scene is absurd nowadays. First watched around 5 years ago and during that time if you max out you have a 99.99% chance on the win, but now it's more a max out is required to get a chance to win.
The t-spin at 16:55 I can't believe Richy went for that so high! So many games decided by a single Tetris, this whole set was absolutely nuts.
To the commentators - thank you for laying down all the basics and explaining the vernacular 👍👍
The left guy is smiling and happy from beginning he is having a good time. The right guy is serious and unhappy. Thank you i often myself take games way to serious.
Taken out by greed, ouch. [edit: referring to game 3] I wonder how Richy vs. Huff went in the parallel universe.
Jonas culd not do hyper tapping, but maybe rolling
Wish to know what would happen if jonas where with us
Shame they weren't able to watch the insane plays on Richy's screen at 16:53
It's official now. Rolling and Dog will be banned for CTWC 2022 :v
20:20 just over a year ago it was assumed that this speed of button presses wasn't possible and that post-29 play was based solely on piece placement and RNG giving good pieces. Now we are seeing 29+ play style that can handle any piece and dig out of trouble. Who is going to start showing off tucks and spins on 29+ ?
That was by far the best Tetris match I’ve ever seen!!
Big congrats to both players, this was completely unthinkable just a few years ago.
Am i the only want who want a winner and losers bracket in here? it seems too unfortunate that richy gets eliminated immediately.
Willis Gibson just beat Tetris first time human had ever done it at 13 years old.
Those kids don't give the shit about kill screen and max out
39:41 Man, I didn’t know Joseph could clap using that technique
What an amazing performance from both players! That’s insane! Congrats to Richie.
