Best tetris match of all time actually. The most exciting, from the beginning to the end each point was won by a thread, and always with enormous scores. I still can't believe Richy lost the last one, I was thinking "it's the end Joseph has lost", but no. Amazing. I don't watch every monthly tournaments so I don't know every single match, but no match I've ever seen come close to the one in this video, by a large margin. Clearly the best shit ever.

He's nowhere near ready to use that yet, he almost doesn't even need to really to be honest just like Dog there fundamentals speed and etc are essentially maxed out, the problem is thanks to roiling its getting to the point where you can basically play a perfect game get to 1.23 mil every time on level 29 and the roller will always have the advantage.....so catch up games will become more and more a factor. Which is totally fair not complaining even if I dont entirely like that aspect and where its going but its all legit fair and takes supreme skill but it essentially means eventually even Joseph and Dog will likely have to adapt or try and be in the lead by 300 k by level 29 and hope rollers cant surpass them with post kill screen play....this especially unfortunately applies to elites like Koryan and even Nenu who are a 10 out of 10 in there stacking/ iq/fundamentals but there speed even for hyper tappers is really just average to slightly above average at best so they risk being left behind without rolling unfortunately.....but for now its not a huge factor but its already starting to be for sure....Josephs just pure natural skill and amazing stacking for now get him through though, the mans a true great straight up as is Dog!. Meanwhile Richie and Huff and Hydrant and Cheeze here's potential is unknowable however for now Dog and Joseph there stacking is blatantly superior as well as there maxed out hyper tap speed for now and that gets them through without rolling!..for now!...For now!.

@@LotusEli yeah, saw the replies above, just what I thought. Man, no disrespect, but I can't even begin to waste time discussing this, even if I wanted. I'm on my way to the door, but before let's just put it this way: even in college (already far, far beyond the life complexity levels Dog's or 16 yo Joseph were facing), I literally had time to waste my entire pockets on Dreamcast games and other 6th gen consoles and play them to no end. Life was simple as that. Now at 40, I barelly have time to do the extremely important, extremely urgent, extremely fundamental and actually life dependent tasks. If each day had 48h, it still wouldn't be enough. I haven't powered on my favorite ever console in 3.5 months. Other consoles weren't turned on in 12 months and counting. And I really wanna play them, I just can't find time or energy. Hope this puts it in perspective. Jonas doing what he was doing while being a 35+ yo man, full of responsabilities, wife, house, bills, taxes, was on a different level. Have a good day my good sir, I'm out.

Damn. I first started watching competitive tetris back in 2018 and I remember Joseph being so dominant with his tapping - he could pull himself out of what seemed like impossible (at the time) situations, and the elite DAS old guards had to rely on superior tetris rates in the early game to compete. Not even 5 years later tapping is looking slow compared to what the rollers are doing and Joseph is finding himself in the same spot as Jonas was back then. It's absolutely unbelievable.

That second game where Richy gets 1.34m. That's his personal best right there! It's insane because you'd never know it by watching the level of play during this match. He goes into the kill screen and hits 4 tetris's and gets just about 200k in kill screen. Rolling is the future, this game is an instant classic based off how shocking that end game was. This match alone will go down as one of the great matches that heavily influenced the shift of Tetris and how it's played. It's hard not to feel that way after watching this match. Who better than to help showcase it than that of Joseph, one of the real GOATs and paneers of Tetris. What a match, an absolute classic.

I still think Joseph can defeat Huff and is the better player overall, in fact how well Joseph did in CTWC 20921 against an even better version of Huff then last year was really amazing to see, I know for a fact Joseph put in way less overall play/practice even tournament competing time then most of the other say top 30 players did for most of the year 2021 I think he won like January or Februarys CTM dude was clearly depressed about Jonas poor kid but he played great won that CTM then pretty much went into hiatus played few more events at random in 2021 and yet when the main event came he was able to beat all these amazing players tappers rollers and he actually played better then Huff all around Huff was just barely able to beat Joseph by literally pulling out 2 crazy post 29 rolling chase score games ya know. Point is thats how much of a natural Joseph is still. Anyhow Huff deserved the win in the end and Joseph is officially down 0-2 to Huff in CTWC tournament play but I think hel win next time even without rolling whether he can master it or not.But will see.

You can't say nes tetris, without think of Jonas, a DAS god, Tetris for jonas, may the Tetris sound from you ring in our hearts

Wow, this year CTWC reached a whole new level. Past years there was a visible gap between top 1 and top 8 players, but watching this match I feel like there's no difference, simply anyone can win this time!

can't help but notice how happy Joseph looks playing Tetris. So cute

Richy, you have such humility, and even when you lose, you do it with such class. You sir, are the true inspiration. Kudos

I like Richy, Class act for his great sportsmanship.

holy shit i started watching this 2 years ago and stopped. Now im back and these new techniques are mind blowing with what they can achieve.

Totally mind-blowing play by both! Hearing Chris and James commentating though makes me miss the live-event of the old CTWC and wonder if that element of the competition is an important factor for some players.

I haven’t been keeping up with Classic Tetris for a little while, so this might not be new, but from this match I’ve noticed that Joseph’s knowledge and mastery of the game have improved so much. I remember when everyone marveled over Jonas’ creative tucks and burns, and Joseph’s play reminded me of that here. Of course, I don’t want to sell Richy short either. Like I mentioned earlier, I haven’t been keeping up with Classic Tetris much, so I didn’t even know who he was before this match. And I just want to say one thing: How in the world is this guy only the 8 seed??? He put on an amazing showing here, and it’s a shame that someone as good as him is out this early. I’m really looking forward to watching the future rounds, and great job on the commentary guys!

The pandemic and letting these guys play from home is what is making this tourney what it is..IMO So many guys with the talent, but could not make it to the live tourneys. I for one hope that this format is here to stay and those guys who cant travel still get the same chance to win.

Rewatching this game with the context of the others made me realize that these two dudes would be champions any other year. It was a brutally well played game each time. Jonas would be astonished and proud that the game he once knew could be played at such a level consistently.

The t-spin at 16:55 I can't believe Richy went for that so high! So many games decided by a single Tetris, this whole set was absolutely nuts.

THIS JUST PROVES HOW REVOLUTIONARY BOTH THESE TECHNIQUES ARE!!!!

the fact that richie is still such a good sport about it, standing and applauding joseph

Scout did present rolling beautifully.

My fucking goodness. What the fuck is this?? Amazing match. I think that game 3 was the decider. Richy had the opportunity to take it but a brutal drought and that was it. So fucking amazing. Thanks for sharing!!

@@danielhicks4826 yeah exactly Joseph is most definitely the most naturally gifted dog coming a close second. If Joseph had been with the times and not had the exam and educational pressure and learnt rolling way back along with his stacking knowledge and a lot more time to practice he’d be hitting consistent 1.5s and 1.6s what these now newly formed rollers have pbed on. With Joseph’s micro adjustment and more freedom with rolling 600K possibly 700k 19- transitions would be very doable for him allowing those high scores. If he does learn rolling which I believe he has been and practices he’ll be the first 2 mil score not on PAL.
