From the 2016 Classic Tetris World Championship, Final match:

Jonas Neubauer vs Jeff Moore

With full commentary by Video Game Hall-of-Famer Chris Tang, this match is a real gem for all you Tetris fans out there.
From the CTWC website:

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?

Rest in peace Jonas, an ambassador for the game and one of the greatest players it's ever known.

"Hmm, what videogames should we get our sons, honey? We know what Jonas wants but--"

"BOOM! TETRIS FOR JEFF"

[charliekohl]

Jonas. Man. You’re really the coolest. Most genuine person I’ve ever met.

[seriall]

This was a lot more exciting than I thought it would be.

[parnoico]

Me before watching the video: what kind of lame ass people would watch professional tetris?

Me after the video: jonas playstyle is quite proficent, great tactics and management on his field, looking forward for the next world series.

[VMiguelGonzales]

21:34 JONAS GETS A TETRIS*

B O O M T E T R I S 4 J E F F

[yuvcharmer]

If someone’s looking for the origin of that meme it’s after 21:33 where Jonas hits the Tetris but the commentator said “Boom Tetris for Jeff”.
Rest In Peace Jonas 🙏🏽

"BOOM tétris for jeff"

Wtf it was really jonas, this is how much the announcer have a crush on jeff

[fatihcaylakcaylak]

They said "boom tetris for jeff" every 10 seconds but ignored half of jonas' tetrises.

[OttobeurenKaiser]

Rest in Peace, Jonas, my hero. You were the one who inspired me to play Classic Tetris and develop an immense passion for the game. My thoughts are with his family, including of course Heather. I'm so sorry. This shook me to the very depth and breadth of my core. You will be dearly, dearly missed.

[milkpond]

I wish someone would love me as much as the commentator loves Jeff
