You know you spend too much time on YT when you start getting Tetris World Championships in your recommended videos.

[elainequing]

The similar names are killing the commentators.

Jonas loses, and then says, "Truly an honor to pass the torch."

Wonderful person.

[Brey]

I remember the day Jonas passed away. Joseph broke down crying on his Twitch live-stream on that day. Joseph seriously admired Jonas and was probably a role model as well that motivated Joseph to be the best. Joseph is now a 2-time champion. He won in 2019, and of course 2018 against Jonas.

Thank you Tetris Community for making this all possible. Love you all! ❤️

[SchatziiiB]

didn't think two guys playing tetris could make me cry

[EvilLobsterKing]

To see Joseph so overcome by emotion, and to see how graceful and supportive Jonas was of his opponent, it’s just so wholesome

[lane]

I constantly come back to this. I feel Joseph became the champion at exactly the right time before Jonas passed away. Jonas left the championship title to the new generation, and what better way than with a 16 year old kid.

Nobody:
YouTube recommendations: Ay bro you wanna watch some professional Tetris?

[andreserra]

RIP Jonas. Your impact in the community was one of the reasons why tetris is much loved. You're a tetris legend.

[Benny_Blue]

This felt like a sports anime where “hyper-tapping” is the protagonist’s secret power/technique.

[LuisToko]

Anyone else come back to this video every couple years to relive the hype of Joseph’s win? Shoutout to Jonas for everything he did for the community. Legend forever

[jonaeedwards]

I’m not even interested in these kinda things but this was actually kinda cool

[josiehonda]

How anime protagonist be only 16 year old defeating a 30year old villian who had 20 years of experience

[jolinas.]

me after 5 seconds: okayyy...who would watch tetris for 42 minutes???
me after 42 minutes: oh...

[rutomeds]

Rip Jonas, I wished you were alive to see Scuti, Fractal and PixelAndy to beat Tetris to its absolute and truest form.

[SmooveJeff]

Never thought a game of Tetris would be more entertaining then the Super Bowl



But lookie here...

[ChannelHandle]

why am I getting so emotionally invested in a tetris tournament

[antsinmyeyes]

Could you imagine being a sixteen year old and you are professional at a video game from the 80s

[lamanzana]

A champion knows how to win.
A great champion knows how to lose.
Godspeed Jonas, you are the best
