Koryan (1) vs. Joseph Saelee (5)
Epic match-up of the hyper-tappers! 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 - Hry
What has happened in my life that led to me being awake at 2 am watching tetris?
try searching tiddly winks championships to go that extra distance
I dunno... But it's 3:49 AM for me...
Loser! It is 1 am here haha but a saturday! OMG! I got hooked!
idk
4:27 here. And I haven't even went to sleep yet.
Should get some heart rate monitors on competitors next year.
This NEEDS to be a thing
That would be interesting. I saw a Mario speed runner with a heart rate monitor, and he broke the world record during that run. His heart rate was way up over 150 bpm.
Lol
Why stop there? We need the whole lie detector test on them
YEEEEEEEEEEEEES PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
joseph just lived the plot of a video game movie, (qualifies by max out and the first lvl 32 on cam, faces 'mini-bosses' on his way through the ladder who are legends, then faces the returning champion and wins a nail-biting competition to then have the champion acknowledge his skills. This is incredible aha)
True, first 2014 champHarry, then favorite Koryan, then 7 time Champ Jonas. It really is a fairy tale.
Joseph is the little Mac of Tetris
I was just thinking the same thing 😂
this needs to be an anime gahahah
@@acem4267 Yesssss
he's a Japanese but he's Koryan
This is so corny, but so hilarious 😂
Fuck im too late to make this joke
@@peekaboo8951 bruh really you ruined it
@@ahmedalshallah5201 Oh yes he did
TEtRis MAgiC
I find it endlessly entertaining that karaoke is one of koryan's hobbies
when at the karaoke bar, there are lots of ladies who like you.
Duh how do you think he got so good at hypertapoing
Its rather usual in japan where karaoke is sung in private booths with friends rather than in front of a crowd at a bar like in the west.
I can imagine him singing some anime songs XD
@@bocca882 In little Korea in Toronto there's a bunch of karaoke bars like that, had some pretty fun nights there :P
12:29 the way joseph looks at koryan's screen lol
wrr
Extra asian.
Eyes shortsighted alrdy haha
so!>??? who cares its not Illegal tho.
😒
18:35
Greentea: "Nice Koryaaan!"
Koryan: *smiles*
Joseph: *smiles*
These dorks are just adorable!!! 😂❤

This world needs more girls choosing the good guys.
@@realeconomy5348 why do you have to turn this comment to shit like that
10:23
"Boom, Totris for Joseph.."
Waldo Carmen whot? Hove you nover hoard of totris?
@@flargarbason1740 ho mo god
le bop Wait, god is what?
Ugh nothing
I meant
Oh mo god
Salutations à tous
Damn, those commentators are good. Like watching super bowl of tetris.
Hahahahaha
Have you seen the Jonas vs Joseph one? Flatout impressive.
could do without the "boom" on every Tetris...
That's why I find them really annoying. Boom, tetris for xxxxxxxxxxx. The overhyping is such a turn off.
@@Mzee1084 You guys want them to just be as quiet as the night during the entire match? They are doing their job as commentators
Jonas is the world's best, of course the hype is real
Shout out to the crew for showing the controllers of both hyper tappers.
They showed it for the DAS players too.
I'd rather not see people hold NES controllers that way. It's grotesque.
@@mtoad yeah
It kinda looks like a spider on the controller 😅
@@mtoad 2 years later: the way rollers hold the controller makes hypertappers look like das players lol
(coincidentally also how rolling gameplay makes hypertapping gameplay look)
YALL JOESPHS HOBBIES ARE EATING, SLEEPING AND PRACTICING MUSIC;;;
That’s like a huge mood tbh
Saying your hobbies are eating and sleeping is such a teenager thing to say. I probably would have said the same at 16
I've watched and noticed this in almost every match with Joseph that as soon as he hits level 19 something is just unleashed with a deep breath and the dude goes super ultra ridiculous! His game just gets like 2 times better and he's already one of the best before that. I doubt anyone's beating him anytime soon.
iforinsignificant Well in most of the matches he did lose one the rounds
*Jake incoming* the prophecy is true, another J will raise supreme to the Tetris gods
Basically he needs to keep up the pace to keep up with the peices
Well this aged interestingly...
There will always be an Asian better than an Asian
My brain is spinning.
Wait. That's illegal
This is beyond science
dude your pfp 😂
That picture is HOT!
I realize I screwed up on the commentary at the beginning, mistakenly stating Koryan hadn't made top 8 when obviously he did in 2016 (the legendary "FFS!" shout when he topped out); I was thinking of how he didn't make top 8 in 2017. Sorry for the mixup ; . ; !
Don't worry man you're an epic commentator!
Dream job keep up the work its good.
Mistakes happen, you still did a great job. You belong there
Boom!
Who cares? Amazing commentary my dude
Joseph's hobbies:Sleeping and eating😂 me too man
Me 3
Do you not work?
My hobbies are brushing my teeth and sitting on a chair
My hobby is breathing.
My hobby is staying alive
6:14 when you're caught looking down at your phone while driving and having to swerve to avoid hitting someone
when is the tetris anime coming out
THATS RETARDED LOL
@@TETCOM. Why? its a classic gaming sport.
You see people make an anime like Yugi-oh
An anime version of this is like those sports anime. Shows the daily life of a tetris player just like those Chess anime something. Heck theres even 2 asian anime about videogames. one of them is about League of Legends
@Ugly Troll fair point
what is wrong with u guys....lol
@@TETCOM. oh look, an intellectual.
I don’t know how I got here but I’m enjoying the crazy Tetris gameplay
Same here, lmfao
These commentators were really good. And competitive Tetris is hype as hell

and then there's joseph level
@@arelio4785 im asian and its more of a compliment tbh
Arelio don’t get your panties in a bunch
joseph’s screenlooking gives me anxiety. 😂but i love joseph i’m so happy he won
I mean after this incident at 6:14 cause by distracted relief + screenlooking -> anxiety city.
Screen looking AND hand wiping! Can you imagine his power levels after he refines those habits? I have a feeling we haven't even seen his true potential!!
@@CRISHTANG He could definetely benefit from flatter building, I also love how he said he learned from Jonas videos and how that's visible in the way he burns singles in order to get tetris ready. Great commentary!
He had some serious focus problems. He just kept looking at his opponents screen.
I wonder how well he would have done if he just focused only on his own game.
@@R3dCol0r i mean screenlooking still pog tho
23:14 Joseph hits an epic z-spin at level 21 with his tournament life on the line.
Yeah, holy smokes that was insane
Hype as fuck
Im new, can u exain what epic z spin is? What was the hype? Im curious
@@xsomili5501 A z-spin is when a player rotates one of the z-shaped pieces in a way that would not actually be possible in real life because the corners of other pieces would be in the way. There is a very short window in which a player can rotate a falling piece before it locks into position on the field. Every piece except the o-piece can be spun like this. The z-spin in this match was especially impressive because a missed drop at that time could have ended Joseph's game and tournament. It's also done on a very high level, which means that window of time to rotate the piece was even smaller than normal (just a couple of frames).
tl;dr It was a risky move that's not immediately obvious to many players and could have cost Joseph the tournament with a missed drop.
@@GdotHost i see
Tetris has the most wholesome e-sport community that I've ever seen.
Fun fact: *Most of us are focusing on Joseph's game.*
14:21 Jonas so good that he can look at Koryan’s screen without playing
Jonas ain't in this video :P that's Joseph
@@ellenolan6917 He's talking about comment mistake
Elle Nolan yeah that’s why I said he can do it without playing
Joseph*
Put it in context. He's comparing Jonas' ability to look at people's screens while playing to Joseph's
Jonas =/= Joseph >:(
Joseph Saelee joseph > jonas 😂
You had inhuman skills that even the commentators had to call you 'Jonas'.
Joseph Saelee You looked shocked when you took game 2 vs. Koryan. Were you expecting to top out and lose? And thank you for posting my friendly reminder from the quarterfinals when somehow you're still getting confused with Jonas. Get it right, you commentators!!!! 😡😡😝😝
Joseph Saelee Congrats again Joseph, played the most clutch Tetris I’ve ever seen and best of luck next year. Keep grinding and I’ll see you on your Twitch stream 👊
Really sorry about that. ; . ; Don't know why all the ultimate top NES Tetris players have to have names starting with "Jo~~" but after 8 years yelling out Neubauer's name, my mouth muscles got too used to it. x__x I will try to do better, and before next year will rewatch videos and commentate practice like you guys do for actually playing the game, as you all deserve nothing less than the best
23:16 Made my jaw drop! What an intense last game! GG's to both.
Watching it again.
Well done Joseph for being so kind and humble and respectful when you are speaking with the host and you offering to shake hand first. These manners will get you a long way in life.
first time i see people play tetris with this intensity
clench my butt throughout the video
How did I end up here? But couldn't stop watching haha... Good stuff
me to lol
Same here.
ikr i was looking for classic super mario world walkthrough, but ended up watching this lol
me too man. it is more interesting than expected and hoped.
me too hahahaha
“Simultetrineous” -Mike M.
I've never watched tetris competition in my life, this was recommended to me, I clicked it and at the end of the video my heart was RACING!!!
Poor Koryan, so close to winning game 2... making it to the finals... and possibly beating Jonas. The look on his face :(
He got very unlucky in game 3 too. Jonas was not playing well so Koryan would've won it for sure.
no such thing as poox or lookx or not, no sad for such or anyx, do anyx is ok
I just posted about this. Koryan always chokes. No surprise, this was a walk away "gimme" grab title for Joseph. Had no real competition.
to be fair, both players did exceptionally well, I feel like it was anybody's game, Joseph only got slightly luckier.
Imagine if a player like Koryan didn't have jet lag.
I wasn't even playing and my heart was just pumping like crazy at the end
These two are such GREAT commentators!!
koryan comes from japan... "heres joseph all the way from California..."
Man! Joseph went into God mode in game three to come back from 100k point deficit!
Joseph looked so happy
Just rewatched this after the 2019 finals. It's amazing how much more fun this becomes every year. I mean look how tense thise game is. Both of them 100% serious. 2019? Both having fun and laughing all the time. It was not only super intense, not only legendary gameplay but an honest joy to watch. So excited to see them again next year!
One of the greatest Semi Final matches in Tetris. Joseph just wanted play, meet the pros, and compete. I'll never get bored of watching two hypertapper's go up against each other. Memories of watching this match back in 2019.
When screen looking screws you over.
Joseph's face at 15:52 was the best he was like, "What?! I won?!"
25:01 also
I am SO glad I discovered this! I never thought watching competitive Tetris would be so damn exhilarating, but it is!
I love how both Joseph and Koryan smile when Greentea shouts "Nice Koryan" haha
4:20 hahah what are those stares xD ?
lmao
lmaoo
*and he looks at me, and I look at him*
He was like _"oh I'm not Gonna let you win"_
Thats literally hilarious
15:51 -- Look at the shock on Joseph's face. Yes, Saelee, you won that game. 😂😂
lmaoo
Looking back it's crazy to see how much better Joseph is now. And this level of play was still good enough to make him champion.
I don't understand how everything fits so well for them
*remembers seeing news of the finals* Hmm, WONDER who's going to win?
I think Stacy the hyperflipper won but not sure
Already happened. Josheph win
@@marlonqm130 woosh
18:35 If im not mistaken is that GreenTea cheering on Koryan
Logan Cline Showing love for his Japanese brother
they both lost lol rip
Jonas at the end going out of his way to make his way to Joseph to give him a congratulatory high five..... man that got me. Rest in peace Jonas. :(

Boom! Tetris again!
@@mobus1603 Yep. 99 tiems out of 100 in my life I hated commentators. Sports. Esports. Anything.
THESE commentators make it worth watching. BOOM tetris for joseph! SIMULTETRIS! DID YOU SEE THAT TUCK AT LEVEL 21???
I'm sitting over here like FUKKK
8:48 when no nut novemeber finally ends
Drink every time they call Joseph Jonas
dead 😂😂😂
Joseph “Jonas” Salee
bro is just incredibly amazing how Joseph pull out a comeback like that damn
This is so entertaining to watch.
Cant believe I watch Tetris game as concentrated and excited as soccer lol
I found the grand finals vid on my recommendations and quite enjoyed watching it and now i'm watching another!
did not expect i'll be hooked..
it's been years since i've played this but my memory holds all the music still and goes round in my head for days
my favorite part : 6:14
Joseph did misdrop and he surprised lol that was funny
23:16 that was nice z spin joseph btw
Damn that was some impressive tetris from Joseph
Great commentary guys. James Chen commenting from Street Fighter to Tetris. Legend.
First I watched the 2018 final and was instantly hooked. Whatched every game from 2015 up to this match and now I have seen it all. Awe inspiring! Gotta get me a copy of USA NTSC NES Tetris!
That was really fun to watch. Subbed.
Never thought i'd be watching Tetris WC but here I am
I didnt even know there was a tetris WC
Surprisingly fun to watch! Never thought I would say that about a Tetris match. And absolutely amazing skills!
These are the best commentators. It makes me feel like im watching the world martial arts tournament in DBZ lol.
Game 1 showed the first signs of nerves from Joseph. A lot of mistakes and bad pieces. But he regrouped very well and scored a huge upset of fellow hypertapper Koryan. Poor Koryan...first time this far in the CTWC, if I heard right, and knocked out short of the finals. Too bad, better luck next time, Koryan. 😊😊
Joseph had a lot of misdrops against Jani and Harry, too. In the second game against Harry he topped out very early, due to playing too agressive, instead of burning some lines. I think he relies on his speed a bit too often.
Traugott Müller Right. It's one thing to be speedy with the pieces, but it can easily work against you when the transition hits, or even during level 18. Even Joseph could tell you that himself.
Instant classic! Best top 4 in years, I have probably seen these two play it out 10x now and I can’t wait for the Joseph v Jonas finally! Can’t wait for next year! 🙌
I've seen this video so many times. I know who wins. And it still has me on edge every time
Without playing tetris, this is always something i watch when its up.. such an intresting game to watch... also, props to the commentators! They are really good :)
Jst give me the finals alreadyyy!!
I think I actually prefer seeing a good tuck to a Tetris, Joseph is insane at tucking
Damn, my dude Joseph was nervous as hell during this whole video, especially at the beginning... but he absolutely killed it on his first appearance ✊
My favorite Classic Tetris game ever since I was young
why is this more intense than the Super Bowl LIII
A japanese named korean very good
*Sarcastic Clap*
I love the commentators. They add so much to the excitement! Awesome!
I love watching great players play these old school games it’s super cool
2 Times they were playing the field exactly the same, wow.
9:23
16:43
I've never been this hyped for an esport before. Guess I'll watch the rest of the tournament
I don't even play Tetris and GOD this was tense at the end! Love watching this!
It’s 12pm and now this video has made me grab my GameBoy SP to play this, i guess I’m not sleeping tonight.
omg I wish there weren't so many spoilers on the internet. I would of loved this so much more. Still a great video
Then watch it live next time
"Tetris for Joseph" -2018
Why am I getting so excited watching this? Lol. Never have been into Tetris, but I am entertained.
I watch this channel every day
Me: Alright last video before sleep
*Ends up watching tons of CTWC*
Joseph in match 3 noticing that he's gonna lose: *giorno theme plays*
I don't know why but i can't stop watching this tetris games. Boom my life.
These matches are so addicting to watch. Then again, it is Tetris so I'm not too surprised.
Hobbies: Sleeping, eating
Hahahahaha
Yep, sounds like a 16 year old to me lol
sleeping eating and shit
When i was used to: Boom, Tetris for Jonas..
it absolutely amazes me that I am enjoying this
I don't know why i watch these now, this is my 2nd one this month and I find these very...entertaining. I can't tell you guys how much my butt keep puckering, tightening so much that I don't even have a butt and my heart and pulse rate just watching the tense games! WOOOO!
Edit: You commentators, DON'T STOP DOING THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE! THAT'S ENERGY BABY!
Dude I'm addictive to this now .\.
Big shout-out to Jonah Hill for commentating this event
nst as bx or not
Andy McNeil lol
lol
It's incredible to see how close Joseph was to lose, in which case today's tetris revolution probably would not have happened or would have happened differently
This one is really fun to watch
