Line cap? What's that, some sort of new hat added to the Hatris game?
😂

HAhahaha
@@ivanplays_games Klax
i can finally see myles😳
he's pretty great
Yeagjgddrr
Thank you so much for the shout out Scout! And most importantly... highlighting the support program we are trying this year. I hope it ends up helping as many people as possible!
Very informative video scout. Sadly I can’t attend this years ctwc. However I will definitely be watching the live event on twitch start to finish. Cant wait for your ctwc 2022 experience video, if you are planning to make one lol😂
Top 64 should be online, then top 16 should go to Portland and be funded
Love your videos man, I can’t wait to see how the championships will unravel!
2019 : need atleast 650k to qualify
2022 :
*need 10 maxouts to get to bracket*
Boom Tetris for Jeff, boom Tetris for Jonas...
I wonder how the younger players will handle playing in that environment, yes, we know they’re the best players at their homes, but with everyone cheering and watching live makes me wonder if they will be able to have the same performance
players have generally done quite well in irl events this year. I think any nervousness is cancelled out by getting hyped up by the energy of the environment
aGameScout tbf, you have competed live, so you can speak from experience, I’m still curious about how external factors may affect them. Can’t wait for CTWC!
I'm sure the streamers will be used to it
I wonder how many older players won't be able to qualify this years. It would be a toddler fest
I’m so excited for not only this event but your video talking about it
This is insane! Thank you so much game scout!
I can't wait to see your coverage of the event
Finally! David uploaded, thank You!
Great video Scout
Ahhhhh so glad to see if back in Portland! I was nervous it would be moved elsewhere, now I can get to go!
I've been wondering when this year's CTWC would be! I think it's really cool that they've made the Tetris Effect brackets from last year into its own completely different event, it means even more variety of Tetris and it looks like they've really made it unique with the triathlon of Zone Battles, Classic Score Attack, and standard Score Attack, alongside a Connected VS invitational. It makes sense with TE:C still being a sponsor this year, but it's still neat to see it have its own spotlight instead of just being a smaller side event to the actual CTWC. I'm excited for this! I watched as much CTWC as I could last year and it was really enjoyable, even if I can't attend in person, it'll at least be cool to have the in person crowd back to react to everything live.
I definitely agree. I've been both heartened and a bit disappointed at the reception TE:C has received by the competitive Tetris community. Like, it's been great to see the game featured in any way at all when it comes to competitive events, but on the other hand, it seems like it's only featured because it's a huge sponsor. By far the biggest focus remains on CTWC's NES Tetris - the kind that requires loads of old hardware to run.
I grew up with NES Tetris and totally get that classic Tetris is its own thing (I mean, it's even in the CTWC name). That said, while I've been amazed at how many people have been willing and able to get their hands on the required hardware to compete in the CTWC event, I feel like at some point the community needs to begin transitioning to something that runs on newer hardware. TE:C has a classic NES Tetris mode that feels like the best/closest option right now, and while it may not be 100% identical, people like GreenTea worked hard to make it as similar as it could be. It even offers separate PAL and NTSC settings. Yet I don't see it getting much attention on its own, nor do I see many top classic players utilizing it very often.
I guess it just feels to me like, as successful as the CTWC has been in recent years, it could be even bigger and reach a wider audience if it began to migrate toward using newer hardware to play the same (or very, very similar) classic Tetris game. The currently required setup really just isn't an option for a lot of people, and discourages people from even trying to get involved. And while the TE:C triathlon event is cool, why not offer a competitive event alongside CTWC's main event that featues only TE:C's classic score attack mode (eg, the mode that's most like NES Tetris)? I'm sure I'm probably missing something here, but as someone who loves watching and playing Tetris and has felt intimidated by the hardware hurdle myself, I feel like I can't be alone in thinking this way...
Super informative and concise video, thanks Scout!
Super cool that they eliminated the line, I'm sure people's experience will be a lot better now that they can enjoy the convention as well as compete. Also glad that they have a no mullen rule. I'm sure that will ease a lot of the time constraint issues, as most of these wild 20-30 minute runs are generally mullens.
I look forward to CTWC as always. It will be interesting to see how rolling will affect the competition this year.
Can't wait to see Vandweller as a love commentator again. Hope he'll do interviews too.
So much good news in this video!
1) in person events are always more fun.
2) I love that more and more gaming events have "scholarships" that allow the people who have dedicated so much time an effort to something to be rewarded. I've heard people discuss thier expirences with this kind of thing and how incredible this can be for the people that need them and more of that existing in the world makes me smile.
LETS GO!!!
I wish I could go, but I haven’t been playing Tetris for some time now since I’ve been working. But good luck to all the players who are attending to the CTWC this year!
Binge watching your vids right now I got behind 🤣🤣
WOOOOOOO!!!!! LET'S GO TETRISSS!!! You totally got me back into tetris with your videos. Such a hype game!!!
It would be insane if you got that elusive Max-Out at this years CTWC qualifier! We'll all have our eyes on you!
👀
I feel like it could be really cool if the ctwc did something similar to gdq where players could go in person or they could stream from their homes, however I get that it would be near impossible for it to be as hype due to stream delay
Nice!
As important as it is to cull mullens to save time I will be kind of sad to see them go; Watching EricICX be the first person in history to reach the bugged colors in NTSC IN COMPETITION on CTM was something really special. Imagine if that had been live at CTWC. The crowd would have gone absolutely insane!
It was special, but the kind of thing that should only happen once. CTWC can’t have a single game going 40 minutes, it would mess up the tight schedule.
one of these days I'm gonna attend, I swear to god
I'm interested to know if Nenu will compete this year. I've always rooted for him cause he's from my country and I recall him saying in a past interview that if the competition wasn't held online he probably couldn't play in it
If he signs up for the funding program, he’ll be one of the first players funded for sure.
@@aGameScout That's nice to know
Nenu hasn't been very good lately.
I’m so hyped. I’m totally gonna qualify with a 770k pb. Easy.
Hey Scout, can you link the event list doc by Chris Foryst?
Oh whoops, I forgot to include the link in the description. It's added now!
I agree that when you have it live then it is fair to ask players not to "fractal" the game (playing through many lines on killscreen till you top out after it is clear that you won the game). That would be more or less okay if CTWC winner is already known and wants just for funs to mullen out the last game. However, if two players enter killscreen and one is behind lets say by 150K points and during the killscreen the deficit grows to 400K, leading player tops out and the other still lives (therefore has chance to catch up) what will you do? Do you ask him to top out telling him about time considerations while tapping on your watch? Or you will be fair and let the player try to overcome the deficit? I think if these situations happen (and they do happen if you watch CTM) then you should let the catch-up attempt happen and not force the player go yolo to save time
Fractal is actually one of the people who doesn’t keep playing after he’s won very much, maybe it should be called an “Eric” now haha. But regardless, players should never be discouraged from using the best strategy possible to win the game. They can line out on killscreen as long as they want as long as it’s chasing a deficit. Most of the time that will be far less time consuming than a colors run or something.
Of course i realize not every catch up attempt will be successful. I used Fractal as example how he can line out killscreen for super long time (and not just him), it was more like if player decides to line it out because they feel safe that way. In the game Dog vs Fractal in the CTM live finals, killscreen starts at 21:00 in game 2, Dog tops out at 24:45, Fractal decides to top out after successful catch-up at cca 28:30. That is very long killscreen play (competition-wise). It can also happen you have a game where you see like double level 70, there are rollers who can do that. I also realize not every game will see this. But if organizers do let players catch up using whatever strategy they feel safest at or if they let happen something like that double level 70 because both players are still alive, then my concerns as a fan will disappear because not only the CTWC schedule will not be stretched to breaking point but also i will see exquisite killscreen plays. I will still be kind of divided between live (atmosphere, meet-ups, fun) and online CTWC (more players have chance to participate, also many more top players)
Tetris Effect has interesting mechanic online for those situations: time limit. If you cannot catch up within time limit you lose.
Hurrah, I’m in some Austin B roll

Can I choose to go to the qualifiers just for fun. Because my pb is only 300k, I've never gotten a maxout, and I know I won't make it in anywhere. I just want to do the qualifiers because I've never done a competition scene before, and I would like to see what it's like. Is that allowed?
There’s no rules against anyone signing up, so I’d think it’s allowed, the courtesy would be just to make sure you aren’t taking up a rental station spot from a better player who could make the brackets. That’s kind of the position I’m in - I’ll only attempt to qualify if there’s a lot of open spots still left during sign ups.
Thanks
Regarding the difficulty for the organizers ( 2:16 ), it would surprise me if no one in the community is experienced with custom carts. It's not a *terribly* hard thing to do, but then again when you multiply it by say, 50, the difficulty and cost both increase. It would be nice to see one day. :)
I think there are also legal hurdles to them going that route
@@aGameScout Ahh, that makes sense.
Odds are this might be the first year where the qualifying cutoff might be lower, I’m probably still not going to make it though.
I believe in you
🎉🎊🎉🎊🎉🎊 yay!
Let’s go
Barely a day after watching this video to apply for trip funding? Wonder if there's still time? 🤔
all of them got funded!
@@aGameScout ah come on, you were supposed to laugh Keepo
Is Joseph going to this years CTWC?
I believe he is, yeah
Nice update.
The most eye-catching thing in this video, is your voice change 😳
It's too bad there's no vaccination requirement for PRGE. I was really hoping to be able to go this year, but without that requirement, it's just not safe for me.
That makes no sense, you are protected. So why does it matter if others are or not? You should go!
@@Unaaa9 That's not how epidemiology works. Vaccines are far from 100% effective, and when indoors, in a crowd of unvaccinated people, the reduction of transmission by vaccination gets entirely negated.
What's mullening?
Playing after you’ve already won
Here's the origin of it

It would be funny if you get your first maxout in Quals lol
It would be funny. Unfortunately improbable haha. Still not sure if I will qualify as I don’t want to take up a rental spot from a better player. If there’s plenty of spots open I’ll give it a shot.
@@aGameScout Well, i hope i will see how you do in quals (if you ever do) in *2023 when you finish editing it* (jk
agme scout
We need ruins!!
no comment for 1 year lel
No masks, I can understand. I don't know if I agree, but I understand. No vaccination status is a horrible idea. It's almost like we have been allowing the virus to spread easily for 3 years. I wonder how it's still spreading, guys???
Anyway, excellent video as always. Thanks for putting this out!
At this point, the vaccine has been out for almost 2 years and anyone who wanted it could’ve easily gotten it. People who don’t have it at this point probably aren’t going to ever get it and are primarily taking on a risk that’ll just affect themselves instead of others who are vaccinated
@@aGameScout It's a common misconception that being vaccinated means you cannot get COVID. Reading your message, I'm not sure if you're trying to downplay the possibility, or imply it does not exist at all.
The vaccination tends to make it less likely and less intense but does not guarantee you will not get it. For this reason, your own personal decision to get vaccinated or not does indeed affect others, even those who have been vaccinated.
@@Kris18 yeah, unfortunately I know all too well you can still get it. I was vaccinated+boosted and still got Covid twice. At a certain point everyone has to assess their own risk. For people really concerned about the possibility of getting it or are immunocomprimised, it’s probably best to not go to a convention at all. If you’re healthy and vaccinated, chances are high that even if you get it, it will be relatively mild. I think the most important thing would be not allowing people to show up or participate who have active symptoms of being sick on the day of the event.
Why can't they just have it in somewhere more accessible, like LA or NY...
Portland is where many of the organizers/volunteers live and have all of the gear. They also have a strong relationship with PRGE so it’s unlikely to move unless PRGE folds.
@@aGameScout Cool, understood. 👍
It is ridiculous they dont just use stats and fly in the best 16 players and just have a chill competition.
which stats did you have in mind
@@aGameScout the players rankings. We know who the top sixteen players are at any given time why not just let them play in the championships?
@@bltvd Ranking them by competitive elo is very volatile, as just one of many obsticals
@@AvGeekW159 i only watch about a dozen players and fast forward to line 130 when I watch them play. I have no interest in low level play.
The live qualifier is what makes the CTWC. For an event that is open to the public, it makes virtually zero sense to limit the event to a small percentage of people who are ranked players.
FYI: Keep kids away from the afterparty with adults. The last thing Tetris scene needs is a fallout of adults hanging out with kids one something inappropriate happening... like adults hanging out with children. If you're a kid--hang out with the other kids. If you're 18 or older, go to the adult only event.
I just want to see a non-American win this time.
It could have been live the last two years if they held the event in a free state like Texas or Florida
It doesn't matter, it would've been too much of a risk to plan an event several months in advance the previous two years because no one knew if another covid wave would spike and prevent a ton of players from being able to travel and attend.
