Right? I remember watching the video where when they first discovered rolling and were wondering "is this the future?, will this overtake hyper tapping"? People were doing statistics on tapping abilities and then rolling came. Absolutely transformed the game, but despite new generation coming in, I feel like tetris is one the few communities where OGs are still given a lot of respect because it's understood it was a different time, different place and different skills/knowledge

“But instead he douses himself in Parmesan cheese” has got to be one of the funniest lines of all time

Congrats to these two (and your narration) for making Tetris feel like an anime. Child prodigy going through a massive tournament, fighting against a mysterious but legendary foe at the finale, and it coming down to the last second, both combatants breaking the previously held record in the process, and the child prodigy winning by the skin of his teeth. Can’t wait for Alex to have to defeat God in Tetris a few years from now.

Dude, I've never watched a tetris game in my entire life and you commentated this epic match brilliantly, explained each bit perfectly at every point and made me fully hooked on a game I'd not played since about 2005. GG to Alex and Tommy and an impressive video. Thank you

It was unbelievable to watch live. Genuinely did not think that this was going to happen any time soon and then it happens in the best possible moment

I never thought I would ever hear the phrase "he douses himself in Parmesan cheese" before, let alone in a Tetris video

I don't follow competitive tetris, but this was fantastic to watch. Loved this, thank you for producing this.

I love how basically ANY activity has incredible moments like this that you couldn't make up, life does write the best stories

I have followed your footsteps on this.

I noticed that Alex was doing the same thing Cheez does when it comes to the killscreen. Instead of having the traditional right well, they opted to just go with whichever column happened to have the empty well at the time. Not sure why but it seems like the optimal way to play at 29 speeds. Probably because instead of sticking to a structured playstyle - the 29 speed is probably too fast to stick to a structure so it's better to just take what the game gives you and what the board ends up with. It's a more reactionary playstyle - which again considering the speed, it's probably better to just "react" instead of trying to "think" about what's happening which can slow you down. I could be wrong though but I've seen Tetrises hit more consistently when done this way.

The flip at the end where you said there was STILL another legendary match going to happen after round 4 was great, and you really hyped it up even more! I'm always impressed at how great people can get at this game

Wow. I’ve been getting into Tetris with your and other’s videos and I cannot tell you how riveting that was as someone who had no idea what was going to happen. The skill these guys have is insane and the way you narrate it tops it off. Great video.

I could follow along with everything that was said and could feel the excitement of every development. An amazing video! Well done!

14:43 "It's Tetris or Death" Jesus that's the most anime sounding announcement I've ever heard. Fitting since this is competitive Tetris much like any other e-sports. Bravo with the explanation, the commentary, and statistics. Kept me hook the entire way.

I can't believe this just happened, I watched the Greatest Classic Tetris Game Video of All Time. No seriously you rode that line of giving great in depth breakdowns but also keeping it light and fun and accessible for us non-tetris players. Bravo.
