At the 2023 CTWC, over 100 Classic Tetris pros gathered at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo to vie for 48 seeds. Qualifying consisted of 2 hour attempts where players would try to rack up as many great scores as possible. In a 48-seed bracket, the Top 16 seeds earn a bye out of Round 0, while the bottom 32-seeds compete for a spot in Round 1.

[@MrWongle]

SV playing super agressive verging on reckless was amazing to watch.

[@TheEntropianist]

SV showed master level tetris theory and rolling skills.
Go dog go

[@michaelhansen8959]

Tang and Chen are back!!! I thought the retire or so..
Still, in my opinion the best tetris comments guys.

[@dolordemuela523]

you're absolutely fuckin right, dude

[@Mastermnd1]

So much quality. Insane! But SV has something extra. That agression... Best we've seen in years!

[@RandomTeq]

I love how Chris & James get excited over Kill Screen tetris! You can tell they have a passion for the game. To be honest, it still baffles me as well! It doesn't feel real. Incredible game.

[@TheDocValerian]

Still remember the days when that killscreen was actually gg... impressive innovation.

[@dolordemuela523]

Thank you for bringing us these casters

[@danielkarlsson258]

SV is savage! 👍

[@gaveintothedarkness]

SV had some amazingly creative ways of burning awful pieces.

[@pokemario99]

dude SV and dog are monsters. insane games for all four players

[@kjeks1]

Great commentary today!

[@NvrPhazed]

SV is a machine! Aggressive play is so great to watch.

[@rico6311]

Love how Dog is often kinda "slacking" until lvl 19 and then just turns god mode on.

[@c1arkj]

He's the comeback kid.

[@pretol7920]

SV is a legend...

[@daniel-san6086]

Let's go SV.

[@MicroTurtl]

I love Cobalt i think he will go all the way!

[@hemmojito]

Sharky going the extra mile to create that little bit of buzz.
I normaly switch off after the matches. You would expect some kind of prerecorded uniform message at the end like most channels do. But to see that it's different each time I really respect that.

[@rh6280]

Someone take SV's center well privileges away ffs

[@ryanamburgy2791]

18:40 cobalt moment

[@ryanamburgy2791]

HI XENO

[@saito853]

Imagine telling players from 5 years ago that there will be a day where the first game of two round 1 matches ended in 4 max outs and 3 players reaching the kill screen with the last barely topped out at 228 lines.

[@TheEntropianist]

Go dog go

[@Dyas777]

Dog dog go

[@la3011]

4 millions at first round =8O

[@terryliu9015]

damnit for a moment i thought joseph or harry returned lol

[@ITZsharky1]

🤭

[@SodiumOverdose]

Dog going for his 3rd 😭🙏

[@chriswong_96]

lmao pls ban this spoiler mf

[@asdfasdf4924]

I don't know man, that was super dangerous Dog, you got to play more conservatively. Just a tip from one of your biggest fans! I'm talking about 6:15 Dog. Anyway, GO DOG! WOOF!

[@jewellboio2500]

Hello! Is there anyway to see the bracket?

[@ITZsharky1]

Currently all images of the bracket made spoil the results of the tournament. The first video uploaded does have a blank bracket. I might be able to find a blank and post it in the community tab

[@oisyn-]

The previous video did have a bracket at the beginning: czcams.com/video/JGF31p_AIZo/video.html
@@ITZsharky1 Would it be possible to make sure the next uploads will feature an updated bracket so far? Or is that too late now?

[@ITZsharky1]

@@oisyn- it might be featured at the end of videos at the start of round 2/ Top 16 but all of the remaining matches for round 1 have been edited and uploaded

[@ClassicTetrisLeague]

​@@oisyn-
Tomorrow's upload should contain the brackets, as well as Sunday's upload I believe
I've been working on matches that were streamed on CTWC's second twitch channel, and those never had shots of the casters talking like what you see in the beginning of this video, so I added updated brackets to provide a bit of substance. Which is why some videos have the brackets and some don't :)

[@galaxystudios370]

curse you perry the platypus

[@BoshikaYepthomi-pe7od]

[@johndiaz6114]

SALUDOS

[@CyBeR-Kay]

😊Hi❤

[@johndiaz6114]

Dog

[@chiefmonrovia6691]

No Spoilers It's a shame that 2 max outs and a 962k isnt enough to make it to the next round! If he were against either of the other two he would be moving on, but got unlucky with the match-up
