Best of Five Ep 2 "Careful What You Wish For" - The Classic Tetris Champions Documentary

SUMMARY: We learn how players have trained for the CTWC tournament. Some have extreme training regimens...and some haven't played in a year. We meet Trey Harrison, who has programmed a Tetris simulator to help him train for the tournament. We also learn about his history with Tetris legends Thor Aackerlund and Jonas Neubauer. Finally, we learn the unusual way Trey earned his spot in the bracket...and what happens as a result.

It's unreal seeing all this footage in such high-resolution, considering it feels like ages ago.

[@galaxybiscuit]

Harry dissing Jonas' stacking is a diabolical take.

[@RobotProctor]

This is 10 years ago. It's insane how much different 2024 is from 2014 skillwise

[@gabriel.ruschel]

new techniques made it possible, when it was all DAS Jonas was close to unbeatable

[@pjpokerbr]

RIP Jonas ❤

[@SiljCBcnr]

Thank you so much for putting it up on RUclips for all of us to watch 👍

Jonas said in an interview that Trey sniping him in the first round was one of a few factors that made 2014 a much less enjoyable CTWC than the other years he competed.

[@thelatenightattempts]

Well that, and coming in 2nd place.

[@Moon-uq6ob]

@@thelatenightattempts He said that it was more so that he had to take an early flight for work the next morning so he had to miss the after-party post-tournament which means he wasn't able to process the loss with the community which would have helped a lot.

@@Moon-uq6ob I was there to witness it. One of the coolest things I've ever seen. I love Jonas and I hope he felt honored that everyone was trying to take him down. He was a titan in this sport, and I loved watching him and Harry play. I was very lucky to attend a couple of these earlier tournaments before it blew up. Such a great community.

[@ytchannel44421]

What do you mean by sniping him? I don't know what that means sorry

[@WylieCantFilm]

Incredible 2nd part!! 🧡🧡🧡

[@joshcoughx]

Lol Harry saying Jonas is going to fall to 4 or 5. What a hater. 😆😆😆

[@SiljCBcnr]

I just gave this video the 69th 👍
Nice.
