At the 2018 CTWC, we decided to hold a 0-19 Speedrun tournament. The objective is to be the first player to reach level 19 starting from level 0. Four groups of four were randomly chosen, and the winner of each group advanced to the Final Round. With commentary by Arda Ocal and Adam Cornelius. (NOTE: please ignore finishing times quoted by commentators.)
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

The commentator seems to periodically forget what the players are trying to do. He keeps talking about their tetris rate and the risk of building high. The whole point is to build high so you can get lines faster. Tetrises are completely meaningless.

@rahcassi5416

Tetrises are not meaningless. They talked about it at one point but the animation for a Tetris is the same speed as a single line clear. This means that clearing 4 lines individually is 4x as slow as getting a Tetris (in terms of animation length, which in a challenge to clear 200 lines, it definitely adds up.) Of course TRT isn't as important as playing high, but it's still a factor and definitely not meaningless.

I mean at the end of the day, the overwhelmingly most important factor is the percentage of time you are holding down. My point is just that the commentary was totally unhelpful, on this point or any other.

This was the best side event to watch (live) in my view.
Great commentary
Kory... I mean, er, Kauser... Blasted through that like a cyborg on cyber-roids. Watching him digging at the top with only about 5 lines of free space @ mid-speed, and he treated it like it was level 0 and he had all the time in the world. I'd have panicked and topped out just looking at it.

I don't think he intended to play that high, u can see his reaction of regret when he places that vertical long bar and his relief when he makes a Tetris afterwards. He was lucky he got good pieces when he was at the very top, and of course insane skill and fast decision making, only a few people could have survived that
I'm a simple girl, I see Joseph, I click.
Greentea is so likeable, just a kind japanese guy laughing and smiling at everything. A real inspiration to just smile and laugh more over things.
Round 1 People playing:Lars, Svavar, Frank and Player 4
This competition is brutal. Joseph doesn’t automatically advance unless he makes level 19 even though all his opponents already lost. His first round seemed extremely easier than the other opponents in this competition.
Justin and Lars seem like really cool dudes. Would love to see them more often!
15:17 My goodness Joseph hyper-tapping legend!
I have no idea whats going on, ive never been here before but its very satisfying to watch
I have never imagined that Tetris can be so entertaining.
I always get this goodvibes whenever i see greentea playing while he smiles at his heart content
OH MY GOODNESS, never let the first guy commentate ever again. It took everything in my heart of hearts not to dislike this video because of him.
Greentea's faces. XD
Is there anyone in the tetris community more underappreciated than Trey? especially how entertaining his style of play is, its like an emotional rollercoaster
This is so entertaining lol
According to all super fast videos watched this is painfully to experience :D
That duel Tetris at 31:35 was beautiful!
building tall is an advantage here, it does so pieces hit other pieces faster.
Joseph’s sleeve blends with the metal frame on Paul’s screen. Thought his arm was 2 1/2 times longer! 😂
when i see the green tean expressions my life turn so good
GreenTea so great we love you for surviving so well! Also I kinda feel bad for saying this but I suspected Friday to fail because of the stupidly stereotypical “witch” garb
26:13 oh he decided to skip it over 😂😂
the way that Greentea laughs and everyone else keeps their focus faces makes my day
YESSSS!
28:50 the satisfaction :OOOO
Greentea's play puts me on edge. Like why does he constantly use line pieces to build his tower instead of going for those tetrises that'll give him more room to work with? His early downfall was his own doing.
Koryan as Kauser is the best, this is amazing
I could take these guys for sure. I used to play Tetris for money in the 90's!
I love Paul’s sportsmanship
Joseph is just on a whole other level than everyone else!
