Also, I would commentate with the mindset that the viewer can't see what's happening on screen. That way you tell the story without the technical aspect that someone like Heather or Jonas can provide. If he goes that route, I think we'll see improvement.

Pssst CTWC committee, make sure that one commentator who does interviews, stays doing interview. He sucks at commentating. Even Jonas was eliminated early, he commentated nicely and professionally. Ya know, just pair Jonas with Heather for early round commentary. That'd be great for next year.

Batfoy's stack is always so soothing to watch. Heather, Jonas, and Chris are definitely the best commentators, and Chris and James have made a fine duo for the finals. I feel like Arda is better suited for interviews or announcements between games. He tends to try and get a back-and-forth with the crowd or whoever he is talking to, which is great for interviews, but not as good when they're concentrating. The video caught him at a bit of a bad time here. Have to agree, the information about cards is pretty distracting, watching back now.

I watched this all live day-of and thought, "Well now I'm not going to have videos to watch daily for the next few weeks!" but here I am rewatching it all and enjoying it just as much.

Joseph never disappoints 👌🏻 Batfoy is very focused, Megaretroman is really a good player! And of course Jonas should do commentary, he is really great!

Heather has a beautiful voice. She also speaks clearly and coherently (no fry disease). She could undertake another career in announcing.

I hate that the other commentator is talking about some random garbage while Jonas is actually trying to commentate. It's distracting me and I'm not playing -- I feel bad for the competitors.

I'm still upset that Jonas got eliminated early but I'm glad he'll still be here to commentate because damn we need better commentators

I love how last year Joseph was clearly the new kid on the block, very awkward and silent and this year he is joking around with the older players like they all do with each other.

For those who don't know, Walter Day was complicit in Billy Mitchel cheating and posting his fake scores on Twin Galaxies. That is the same guy who came to this event and disrupted it. In all fairness, one of the commentators was totally guilty in letting Walter Day hijack the event and make it about whatever it was that he was doing. Please CTWC organizers, do not let this happen again. It's bad enough that Walter Day is a corrupt video game judge, it's even worse when you allow one of your commentators to distract both the viewers, and the competitors. Shame on you for letting this happen. Be better.

Can we stop yelling over actual people who try to commentate? I get you want to get the crowd into it, but maybe take off your headset / microphone.

I had felt great about Arda's work at CTWC 2018. I praised them and felt their professionalism to be great. On this video, there are many other folks expressing upset at the momentary slips of Arda becoming distracted from their role of casting. I feel this had indeed been a problem, but I do not feel it is exclusive to this moment in this CTWC 2019. I feel Arda seems to be a bit too loose with their casting this season. A bit too casual. I feel the games, the sport, and the players should be the priority. I feel Arda's personality is great and I do feel they have that professional talent in some of the work they do. I feel Arda can and will improve and I wish well for them in their future endeavours, including at any return to CTWC they have in the future. I do not approve of the many comments here harassing Arda or the CTWC staffers. Our TETRIS community is an especially positive one. Please do er'body well and express your upsets as best you can, folks. I support comment moderation and wish for some of these comments to be deleted where they are being so harsh to mistreat those in our community.

Thought Ben played extremely well. Just a shame it was against Joseph lol

I feel like this is a good place to vent. ctwc should no longer seed based on scores obtained in a single day. it is way to exploitable. some players would be able to set their scores so they are seeded in a certain position. not to mention, it's not really a test of how good someone is but rather of how good someone can do on that day. basically it makes the seeding inaccurate, and it will continue to be less accurate as skill levels increase. also, I understand the downsides to this, but I think having a double elimination tournament without streaming all the matchups has more of a net positive than negative, for the players at least. kinda like how paying college athletes would be good for them and bad for spectators.

There were seven players who maxed out in qualifying this year, which is about how many did it last year. If we can assume that stays relatively static, it would make sense to incentivize it by giving the top eight qualifiers a bye to Round 2. Seeds 9-16 would still start at Round 1, so Round 0 would have seeds 17-48 fighting for only eight places on the bracket instead of sixteen. You could do that by pool play. Eight groups of four, round-robin, each player gets one game against every other player in the group. The two best records in the group then play a best-of-three, with the winner of their head-to-head game having a one-game advantage.

Tim Crnkovich With CTM and the regional tournaments, the community is well on its way with that. What’s missing is a Masters-type event where only the best-of-the-best players are invited. Part of what makes Jonas, Harry, etc. being eliminated so early such a bummer is that we likely won’t have a chance to see them play against Joseph or the Japanese players in live competition until next year’s CTWC. It would be great if an all-star tournament could be worked out logistically before then.

You guys need age categories for competitors. Because the reflexes diminish with age it's unfair to put an 16 year old against a 40 year old.

Classic Tetris listen: Marketing 101. Give the people what they want. It's a simple recipe to higher revenue and what you did this year is not it.

For everyone complaining about the commentators, 1, the event is already over, not a whole lot they can do now and 2, they are actually more like announcers for the crowd then strictly commentators, and especially in the earlier rounds, not everybody is going to be focused on just one game, so the commentators are more there just to entertain. in the semis and final they will be more focused as there will be only one game at a time and so everybody will be focused on the one game
