From the 2015 Classic Tetris World Championship Semi-Final, Jonas Neubauer vs. Alex Kerr!

With full commentary by Chris Tang and Chris Bidwell, these matches are some real gems for all you Tetris fans out there!

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 6,000 attendees. Every year the scores get higher. Rivalries are revisited once again, and new players emerge to challenge the old guard. Over 20 players have maxed out the score now. Will you be the next?

1. Why is this on my recommended
2. Why did i watch through all of it

[jameone]

I just watched two ranom guys playing Tetris for over 20 Minutes...

[cniebqd]

This looks like a kid and his dad who started playing just to relate to his son, but then realized that he was good at it. He used to let his son win, but not anymore.

[hankheavy]

Can't believe you passed away, Jonas. My favourite player. RIP

[discotheque]

I like to imagine that the commentator has a poster of Jonas in his bedroom and whenever he enters the room he flicks a gun sign at it and says "Boom, tetris for Jonas".

[inklink]

Jonas looks like a dad who was talking to his friends and was like "yeah, I can beat my son in tetris"

[StudioMania]

Rest in Peace Jonas, you absolute legend

[Cryptize]

Couldn’t tell you I was expecting to be on the edge of my seat watching a Tetris match today

[Abhorrent-Tom]

Before I go to sleep tonight, I’m going to gently wake up my wife and whisper in her ear. “Boom, Tetris for Jonas”

[ExtremePratt]

The problem with Jonas is he doesn't look nerdy enough.

[Blith]

Rest easy Jonas, you're an absolute legend :(

[pottergeist]

[TraumaER]
