The fact that he did this for his late father is amazing

Protect him at all costs. We will need him one day to defeat the robot empire.

Most humans couldn't comprehend playing catch with a ball at that speed. Reflexes simply aren't fast enough. This kid has a gift and those crying are simply envious.

This is legendary. To think that after billions of people have played a game for over 40 years, it took a 13 year old in his bedroom in Oklahoma to do what no one else has done

[Gabi-ddbq]

The first human being to do it.

He just entered the video game hall of legends, and well deserved.

So happy for this kid! He did something once thought impossible, and it took a kid who is barely a teenager to pull it off! Hats off to him!

13 years old, but did the unthinkable.

Kid instantly became a global icon and a national treasure.

That's pretty special. There's a few different documentaries that explain just how special this is for a human to do, and just how many people have been trying to do for 30 years now. Imagine being the only (edited: now the first) person to ever complete one of the most popular games ever created.

I like his reaction more than the win. He understands how deep it is that he just did that. First in billions.

[patterparker]

This kid will be a legend for the rest of his life.

[caitlincarlton]

Fun fact: he didn’t do this for a challenge his father wanted to beat it and he then died so he wanted this son to beat it and he actually did

[grahamhighmore]

Does this mean he inherits the Tetris Empire? 😂

[O._.]

This kid did the impossible and made history as a gaming legend

[BestCatGD]

The fact that he actually beat Tetris is so crazy, because I’ve only been able to get score and this boy got Amazing job boy😊

[newvillagefilms]

Now that he has beaten Tetris, aliens will land down in Oklahoma to recruit the kid to fight in the interstellar war as a Starfighter. 😂

[elpolloloco]

I was watching this way too loud in public…

[zacsparksbmx]

Well done kiddo 👏🏻 condolences on the loss of your father but you’ve made him so proud

[goofyaaah]

[SheaCrystinDavies]
