Koryan (1) vs. Zzyzx (Quaid) (9)
Harry Hong (4) vs. Joseph Saelee (5)
Amazing matches in this year's top 8! With commentary by James Chen and Chris Tang.
In the 1990 Nintendo World Championship competition, Tetris was the game to beat. The winner, Thor Aackerlund, is still seen by many as the best to have ever played. Today’s Classic Tetris tournaments are played on that same version of Nintendo Tetris, using original NES game systems, controllers, and Tetris cartridges. In 2009, a player named Harry Hong became the first to achieve the highest possible score of 999,999 points. Inspired by this achievement, filmmaker Adam Cornelius produced a short film about Harry called “Max-Out”, and launched a Kickstarter campaign to document the world of competitive Tetris. As word of Adam’s Kickstarter campaign spread, rumors of max-out scores from other Tetris Masters began to surface, threatening the supremacy of Harry’s achievement. With the help of Nintendo World Championship veteran Robin Mihara, Adam searched for all of the Tetris Masters he could find. Jonas Neubauer emerged as an early max-out artist, along with the elusive original champ Thor Aackerlund. The idea of bringing these and other NES Tetris Masters together to compete in a live tournament became an obvious and irresistible proposition which was artfully captured in the 2010 feature length documentary Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters. Under the leadership of producer Vince Clemente, The Classic Tetris World Championship is currently held at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, an annual event which has hosted the tournament since 2012. Chuck Van Pelt and his organizing committee have built the PRGE into the largest classic gaming expo in the country, drawing around 9000 attendees. Every year the scores get higher. Rivalries are revisited once again, and new players emerge to challenge the old guard. Over 30 players have maxed out the score now. Will you be the next? ecstasyoforder.com thectwc.com

man Quaid really made an impressive come back in his last game. He may have lost but it's just a perfect example what these top tier players are capable of. He really got into The Zone.

Quaid’s well-building strategy is very effective in match play, but he burns more lines than he needs to, and it spells trouble against opponents like Koryan who can maintain a fast pace. Greentea was also having success with unconventional wells, but he could do it more efficiently.

great work getting the closeup shots of Joseph and Koryan hypertapping. One of the downsides of limiting the in-game sounds, is you don't get to hear how unnatural the side-to-side movement sounds when hypertapping is utilized.
Pretty neat seeing James Chen in the commentary boothe for a pro level tournament outside of Street fighter. I really like his passion for esports and high level competition. He really understands what high level gaming means to these competitors.

Absolutely! In sports such as pool or snooker you routinely get matches played best of 9, 11 or 13 with finals being best of 17 or 19. Something like that would allow really for consistent players to thrive. It's not like these games take very long anyway! Joseph v Harry was only about 18 mins for 3 games. I'd also gladly allow players to continue playing past lvl 28 - not like the game would last much longer anyway because of introducing that rule.
I dreamed about tetris for hours last night, been watching too much of this lol its so addicting
They all played really well, but I'm always impressed by Quaid's inventive play at the higher levels. Seriously though, I want Harry to win it again.
I love how every year this event gets bigger and bigger and better and better quality. Keep up the great work guys, I really love this tournament and look forward to watching it each year!

Wow. These quarter final matches were intense.
I love those guys commentating. Very very enjoyable.
Just realized I've been on the pooper for 23 minutes.
They need to do best of 5’s in the quarterfinals and up at least. Maybe even best of 7. I just think harry and Joseph made some bad mistakes and didn’t have enough games to make it a good match. 1 or 2 extra games would give them a better chance to settle into a match and find their game

There's too many time constraints, both for player, commentator and referee exhaustion (eg Jonas after top 4. My guy was about to pass out) as well as the stage time for the retro game connection. It's just not really a possibility as things are.
