Gotta respect dog's aggressiveness on level 29. Something's gonna have to be done, entertainment value drops 1000% when players try to line out past 29 rather than play more aggressive. Also way more impressive landing triples or even tetrises past 29 than just going for single cause it's the easy way.

Great match and respect to Eric. But I think lining out till infinity makes it less entertaining. The game needs an end maybe on Line 260 or so like running a marathon it ends after 42 kilometers and its not about who runs widest. Maybe we could see more playstyles and the players needs to keep up high the efficiency. Also missing green tea, jd, koryan and so on - hope to see them next year although the young guns do a great job. RIP Jonas nice to see that the community dont forget about him

There is an ELO-system with world rankings based on results in tournaments and Classic Tetris monthlies. Joseph is 10th, Koryan is like 24th, and old timers like Harry Hong and Green Tea aren't even ranked anymore. Rollers and new young guns have taken over.

Good job guys!

I'm rooting for the dog And that won't change anything I hope he gets used to the new technique and blows up this tournament next year with his performance

what make me hook to this thing and wants to have a NES console is when I watched the final match between jonas and joseph

I've been watching so many videos and trying to find an NES to get into this. I can't get enough of it! I've been playing modern Tetris on my phone (which is not ideal with touch screen of course), and I was wondering something: is there a reason that players seem to keep the right well clear? I only ask because in the relatively brief time I've been playing, it feels more natural to me to keep the left side clear. Is this because I'm left-handed? Is it something I should correct if I hope to compete?

The gaffe at 35:52 felt like low key a whimsy dad joke to his son.

34:20 dude in the back rethinking his life choice

next year these are gonna last for hours as more people gets familiar with rolling.. incredible to watch still

Wouldn't miss this for the world.

36:03 we love you too announcer guy. :)

Man Eric is super clutch. Wow that was impressive

hopefully this gets read but there should be a level cap or a line cap (post lvl29) just to make the players play more aggressively instead of catching up to infinity past lvl29

Oh my god. Dog is so good, but I watched this AFTER watching the Eric/Fractal final... and it almost feels like Eric was barely trying.

I'm sure this comment will get usual flame. This puts things in perspective for the DAS generation, which was 100% presencial, and still getting big scores with a big crowd looking at them. I noticed the "infinite"-29 play players like Dog, Huff, Andy, Sidnev, didn't go much beyond 1.1m, 1.2m, level 30, 31, 32 and that's it for the apparently "infinite" 29 play. If my comment is not clear enough, look the impact nerves have on you. The DAS generation was entirely under such nervers. The wonder kids are not so invincible as they look. 2 very different things when playing at the comfort of your home, and in front of a roaring crowd.

I wonder how these casters would cast a more interesting game like Overwatch 2 or Mortal Kombat
