(Edit: whoops, forgot to explain this in the video - the game genies are for putting in a code that uncaps the score beyond 999,999 so there aren’t ties in competition.) Subtitles are now added in case anything was hard to hear over the noise of the convention! Thanks so much to the CTWC team, Chris Bidwell, Hal Hawkins, the judges, and everyone else who made this event possible. Special shoutout to BeastinShen who set up the stream layout in just a couple minutes after the normal CTWC livestream layout wasn't able to be located!
You are so cool thank you so much for just fulfilling that niece of competitive classic video games
Can you explain what is the use of getting the number one seed. Like are you using seeds instead of random number generator for the first Tetris piece. Or is it just about who is the top player at the time?
Honestly makes sense with modern competitions. With internet being so popular the overall skill of players has gone way up so if most people are getting to the point they can get max score then competitive play would get stale fast.
Is the game on the left meant to be twice as fast as the game on the right during the tournament? Seriously, if you watch, the game on the left drops blocks at about 1.5x the rate that the game on the right drops them, and the gamer on the left kept losing. Am i missing something, or am i the only one that noticed this?
@@jdogsful taps the buttons faster? I believe that's what you mean. The faster you press down the faster it goes, you get points for speed in the mobile one at least
I don't understand how this ended up in my recommendations, but I watched the whole thing. Don't play Tetris. Don't want to play Tetris, but watching you guys have fun and be nice and wonderful to each other at a competitive level was amazing to see and worth the time. You guys are all definitely great ambassadors for your hobby and passions.
same here haha
@@BOTGRINDER Same reason I watch some EVO competitions even though I stopped playin games years ago... Its just satisfying watching a small community of people having fun and making jokes on one another...
It's probably in my recommended because I watch Rob Scallon, the guitarist, who -- if I remember right -- accidentally invented this technique while messing around with a world champ Tetris player.
Lol same now I want to compete in tetris. The best thing about this video is kofi and sodium becoming friends.
There's an Ill Tetris match between Jonah, ( reigning champ, won 4 years in a row ) and a young 16 year kid underdog. Ive been kinda sorta interested in competitive Tetris ever since. Just watching it, and only here and there but it is interesting and its a surprisingly entertaining watch.
My favourite part about stumbling onto niche, extremely passionate competitive gaming scenes is not knowing what all their lingo means but knowing that it means so much to them. Library? Pole vault? Kill screen? People memeing in grands? I dig it.
Library is just a really dumb inside joke meaning to stop talking, but abbreviated 😭
@SodiumOverdose elaborate hahaha
@@novachromatic Libraries stereotypically are places where you have to be quiet, so telling him to "library" is telling him to shut up/calm it down 😭😭
Killscreen just means level 29 of the game when the speed gets really high and it used to be impossible to play much. Now though bc of rolling and also even improvements in hypertapping people can play on 29. Polevault is a move where I believe you spin a J/L piece while moving it to the edge allow it to go farther.
@@SodiumOverdose oh hi
I like how nice everyone is to one another its heartwarming to see the good sportsmanship and smiles on everyone's face.
It's amazing what happens between people in a testosterone vacuum.
🤣🤣🤣
Seriously. I’ll hang with these people who don’t judge and just want to have fun.
Versus, say, a football game where most are drunk and hostile.
I would like to see live video of the two side by side.
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
I wish smash bros was like this. But it's just too competitive.
You tend to find that anywhere there's a lack of the American's ghetto cultures
Used to work with this guy at Vitamin Shoppe and he told me about being ranked in Tetris. So happy for you my man and glad that you are still following your passion.
Tanner
Thanks Tanner, was great working with you! Hope you're doing well
i’m so glad this vid is finally out but my win against Colin was still a fluke lmao
Hi Hideri. I know you're going to see this
Scout has gone full Tarantino with all of this bare feet footage.
This tournament was such a good time. Had I known it was happening again earlier, I would've gone back.
What
lol what a loser that guy is
This is so wholesome, im so used to creators doing over the top insane crazy shit, its very nice to just see people passionate about something come together with their community.
I don't even play Tetris, but I watch these videos anyway because you guys have such a great community.
same man, thanks to games done quick that I found out about it
yep same. seems like a really wholesome community
The wholesomeness reminds me of the DDR scene back in 2000-2004.
(Not saying the DDR scene isn't still wholesome - I just haven't been around it since then.)
It’s so fascinating, I’ve never considered myself a Tetris person but I loved every minute of this video. It’s lovely watching all these people coming together for something they’re really passionate about. :’)
Didn't expect to see the legend Jeff in the comments of a Tetris video. I thought I would see you on a how to mod your series s
Pure nostalgia. I represented Los Angeles in the 1990 Champion in the 12-17 category. Amazing to see how the young players have adapted/improved the game. Would not stand a chance against these players if they were teleported back to 1990.
Speaking as a nwc 2015 finalist, we would love to see you or any nwc alum at a classic tetris event
We will be in Phoenix at the Game On Expo in a couple weeks.
19:05 pure enthusiasm, I love it!
Man, seeing a bunch of youngsters playing a game that's even older than me is just so inspiring. No drama, no egos, just pure classic gaming.
So sweet of Kofi to share a piece of the prize with Sodium. Seems like such a fun and nice event to attend!
it was Chris Bidwell who gave Sodium a 2nd place prize
Spoiler!
I just love the utter lack of ego in the Classic Tetris screen, especially among young players. Everyone is just playing for the love of the competition, there's no trash talking, everyone is supporting whoever has the chance to get the highest score, etc.
It's what ultimately makes sports worth watching: to always try to win, but first and foremost for the love of the game.
Well said!
I will smash all competitor!
It's the opposite of competitive chess because you 100% play within yourself, and success comes from love of the game instead of endless memorization.
One underated thing about this video is how well your cameras are setup to capture the CRTs so smoothly, great job!
Other people record with crappy cellphones video is very shaky this guy is professional
These IRL events look like so much fun, I’d love for Modern/Guideline Tetris to reach the same level of mainstream appeal!
omg is that the REAL zudo
@@Potato2017 no i’m fake
@@Zuudo :O
@@Zuudo the real zudo??? no way???
zudowo is so cool
What a healthy e-sports. Everyone's enjoying, smiling, and encouraging each other. This is how all e-sports should be. So nice to see this kind of stuff.
@Arena Rat it's e-sports since it's competitive
@Arena Rat if even the Olympics refer to Chess as a sport, why are you bothering to argue semantics in a comment section? You're the one using the word wrong, my dude.
@ArenaRatYou need to get with the times dude.
@ArenaRatyou definitely haven't play a game competitively
"I'm happy just to be here" so wholesome
this video was so wholesome and great. All of those top players are basically friends, they are there mainly for being around each other. The competition was taken serious, but also humble. Every one gave it their all, but also had a lot of fun. Then the hang out was great. This was a great video to see the "in" crowds of people super passionate about their hobby. My favorite part was how the people who didn't qual, helped do judging. That is shows a great community group.
I've been in a pretty niche competitive activity myself (It's called Bible Quizzing if you're curious. Kinda nerdy church kid stuff, but i loved it), and that spirit of friendly competition is so great. And it feels like the higher you go with the competition, the more the culture becomes one of automatic friendship. I'd wager that positive culture is half the reason people do these competitions.
I started watching your videos about Classic Tetris competition a few years back even before the pandemic hit. It was a really inspiring one, seeing a community of people so dedicated to their passion. It’s amazing how everyone of you always makes it a fun, welcoming, and very organized event. I think this is what sparked it for a lot of young people to actually try and play the game. I even tried it out myself as I am a big Tetris guy and I never heard of it being a competitive one, but unfortunately I live across the planet and couldn’t explore more in this area. I’m so glad this came up on my feed because I often wonder how the competitive scene of this game is faring and here you are with an awesome video. I also love how it’s more of a gathering than competition for people of all ages that share their love for a classic game like Tetris. Thank you for sharing this video!
Man, this just makes me think of the culture and experience around large Magic Tournaments. I love that feeling and experience going to events and making jokes about the game as we play and even playing weird versions of the game on the side. Its that community experience that I love so much and im glad to see it is relatable between different games.
My boy you were BLESSED by the algorithm and im here for it. I have an NES that was passed down from my dad and this makes me want to get into it. Was so wholesome seeing sodium being such a good sport
As a guy who remebers getting tetris on his NES, the Game Genie, AND getting a Game Boy JUST for tetris, I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks man, so cool to see young and old people playing a classic .
Never played Tetris or looked into the community but after just 2 min I'm really happy to see what is going on. I wish everyone involved the best because it genuinely looks like a great group of people with a common hobby/passion in mind.
Watching e-sports tournaments for while this was so wholesome to watch. Everyone seemed respectful and smiling.
You've got me fascinated by something I never knew existed an hour ago. Kudos, a great video.
I've never seen competitive NES Tetris. And this video was wholesome and riveting. What a great scene you guys have.
I don't take if they come a year later or two years later. Your Tournament Vlogs are always such a joy to watch!
This popped up in my feed and decided to give it a watch. I don't watch many videogame videos. This was a great watch. Thanks for the great video.
Realized half way through the video, great job on the camera work recording the crts
Tetris has always been our favorite household family game. Its a gaming experience that my entire family can truly enjoy and share, from my parents to all my friends to the youngest of my siblings. Across 50+ years of age difference between the youngest player and the oldest player in our home, we can all gather behind the TV screen and spend countless hours and nights enjoying Tetris. We've been doing this since 1989! ... and it NEVER gets old! We pretty much own every modern and classic iteration of Tetris and enjoy them all equally! I can honestly say that CTWC would probably be the only gaming event that I could take my buddies, my siblings and or even my parents to and we'd all enjoy it equally :) I hope we can keep this game alive forever!
I never really understood esports. Not to say that I’d knock on people who loved it, it just was never something I actively sought after. After watching this, I am left with a warm feeling for everyone that participate. The sense of community and sportsmanship is awesome. Everyone is there to be competitive, but most importantly to create memories and build friendships. Thanks for the video.
I have been watched esports for over 10 years and this is far from a competitive esport scene. Check out Dota 2, League of Leagends, CS:GO, Starcraft 2, and probably a few others where people gain or lose thousands or millions of dollars in tournaments. Those guys go to the gym, some are on real pro athlete diets, have trainers, sports psychologists, etc. This is a tournament designed for a community to come together and have fun. Not hating on the talent here because I couldn't play Tetris this well but far from an esport my friend.
Never got esports? How could you NOT get it? I mean first it really is NOT a sport but I digress. Anyway, it's nothing different than ANYTHING people can useadameans to compete against each other. I mean it's like saying playing poker against someone else except its using video games. With this one, I'm guessing there is a time limit which means like say you have 5 minutes to see how many points you can score and highest score wins. With fighting games it's simple one on one like a boxing match in reality. 2 people face off and use their on screen character to beat the crap out of each other until there is a winner.
That's basically it. So yeah, how someone can't uminderstand exports is beyond me.
@@anthonyaltomare73 dude, no export is really a "sport" but here you have people playing an electronic game against each other to see who comes out on top. There may be different levels of crazy buy this is
As much an export as any FPS or FIGHTING TOURBEY
@@CONSOLETRUTH2 I'm glad you believe that but this is closer to speed running than an esport.
@@CONSOLETRUTH2 Export?
18:56 When Kofi took the number 1 qualifier, sodium was clapping and happy for him. That was wholesome to see
Seeing these kids having so much fun and being good sports really made me smile!
this was a really cool video to see! i loved tetris growing up and its awesome that theres still a community around and big competitions like this!!
I love this so so much. Amazing recap of a delightful event. Please keep going to Tetris events and filming them 😄
Great vid and excellent commentary throughout! I used to play some Tetris leisurely, back in the day, this was really fun to watch 😃 Good try on your run, and better luck next time!
I had hosted a mini Sega tourney myself back in Uni days, it was for NHL ‘94, and still remember it all. What great fun meeting others who are passionate about the game! 👍
No clue how this got on my feed but man what a wholesome video. Looks like such a fun community
I randomly stumbled onto this video and it was super entertaining to watch. Such a wonderful community 😁
this video was so wholesome, i was smiling the whole time. this made my day. thank you
Wow you make good content, love the play by plays, you provide a good window into the world of competitive Tetris , which I had no idea existed , good stuff
This makes me so stoked and glad to see people enjoying their likeminded hobbies together!💛
Bro y’all was in One my home Towns Greenville SC, I’m in Pelzer!
Greenville Drive is Awesome and Normally put on a Great show and Didn’t Know there was a Tetris Tournament Here, Right on y’all! 🤙🏼
Immensely entertaining.
High quality content.
I wish I was in the know like this with such fun.
Subscribed!
Wow this looks like a ton of fun and a wonderful experience, awesome to see such a strong community in something so old
Wonderful video, everyone seems to be having so much fun. Outstanding!
Awesome vid. Thanks for coming to SC! We are working hard to grow our game scenes =)
The editing is so well done and the tournament is so hype. Congratulations.
Scout i really enjoy your content! Thanks for all the great footage and commentary!
Thank you for covering this event. As many others have stated, either they don't play tetris or haven't played in a long time (as in my case), but I was cheering for everyone the whole way thru.
Really happy this video blew up for you. Noticed the disparity between sub count and views and as another yt algorithm viewer, gotta say this was so refreshing to see as it's not a community I was aware of. Keep up the good work!
This was such a great presentation of a fandom. Thank you
Dunno how I eneded up here but was probably one the most wholesome competitive game comps I ever seen. Was so cool and left me smiling. Love yall tetris peoples stay blessed
Loved watching this. Y’all have an awesome community 👍
This is so random to have land in my recommendations but this is rad loves seeing the sportsmanship
Wow this was really good! Happy to see all the sportmanship!
I've been playing video games for as long as I can remember. I'm now 40 years old and I'm still playing video games. I've always been fascinated by them and I've always enjoyed speed running of games, even though I'll never be good enough to speed run anything. I'm just glad to see video games still going strong and it puts a smile on my face. I hope you continue to enjoy games and keep being awesome.
Thanks aGameScout, always appreciate your coverage. Very cool. Thanks
-some guy who loves Tetris
Man, you did an outstanding job on this video. Really fun and interesting watch.
I am impressed at all the CRT’s. I haven’t seen that many Flat Panel CRT’s in one spot since MLG Halo 2 2007.
This is fascinating. I'm definitely not a hardcore tetris player but I've played my fair share of games but I just couldn't cut this video...so interesting
Why am I here? And why did I stay to watch my childhood game played at a high level and smile the whole way through!
Idk anything about Tetris, but this is entertaining. And the way you shout out these up and coming players is commendable.
1. I had no idea there was any such thing as a Tetris tournament.
2. I had no idea this one was played in my town.
3. I hope you all enjoyed your short time here in Greenville.
It's crazy how different and fun it is just in person compared to online. Really awesome they got this going!! Been pretty difficult it seems
all these years ive been watching you, i just now notice you live in my area. like literally probably minutes away, cool to see that.
Great video! Really nice to watch, and some stellar skills on show. Well played all 👏
This was incredibly wholesome. You guys looked like you had a blast.
It’s crazy how much younger the top players got.
Yeah when I got tetris on nes back in the day that was like 30 something years ago. Smh
🤔that was probably said about chess 1000’s of years ago
Joseph effect, young people got inspired when he won against the late Jonas.
@aGameScout congrats on your channel. You really produce awesome content and I love how much attention to detail you put on every single vid!
I watched this from beginning to end and I don't even play tetris. Nice content and definately knows how to hook viewers to be glued into watching this.
This has to be one of the nerdiest videos I have ever seen on CZcams. Thoroughly enjoyed it, no idea why it popped up and I've never played Tetris, but glad it did.
Reminds me of the days I played competitive smash. I meet so many great people, and played in so many tournaments. I love going to restaurants afterwards and chilling with people the night before and after. Such nostalgia.
Thank you for making this video. It’s awesome to see the friendships that are being made. Kids being kids.
Thanks to CZcams's algorithm I watched the hole video, played Tetris a long time in my live, but never thought it would be that competitive these days still. It was fun to watch you guys.
I've never watched this guy, never played tetris, and I've never seen one of these championships but this video was still really cool to watch. Well done!
what Chris did at the end was dope! Definitely something for that kid and everyone to remember
Wholesome. That's why I love this. Good on y'all!
Thank you for uploading this amazing video,
I just stumbled in to this video since it was recommended to me and I am surprised and excited that such events like this out there, I would loved to enter the Crash Team Racing Tournament.
Such a spormanship is rare. They have true passion for the game. Love it
This showed up in my recommendations so I started the video and ended up watching the whole thing...Really great vid here, thank you very much, sub and like earned immediately! 👍🙏🏆
what a great community, support and nice :D
Subscribed. Very interesting event and very nice video! The classic Tetris community looks awesome
Congrats on reaching One Million Views. It's fascinating to see people get introduced to CTWC through this video. Honestly, these videos will change peoples' lives, if it hasn't already.
Awesome first person perspective of competing in high level Tetris! Love the content!
Man what a wholesome (compared to most) gaming community. You did a great job. I loved Tetris on my gameboy and NES but haven't played it in years. This brought back amazing memories and I appreciate the content.
Loved the dedication and joy by this whole community I didn’t know exist.
Oh I legit thought this was gonna be them rolling on mdma at the tetris tournament. I was like wow that's specific. But this was still cool tho lol
Man in person games are epic! Awesome video
I used to watch sgdq speedruns. Im not a fan of watching people play games on twitch, but something about sgdq and this video gave me complete entertainment. Thanks for giving me joy in a time of poor mental health. Subscribed!
So upset this didn't show up in my notifications but glad I got to watch anyways. Always love your content. Keep it up !
Wow, don't know much about the Tetris scene but this was a great watch! I don't know anything about Kofi or Sodium other than this video but it seems like they're great friends or will be soon. The NES Tetris community seems very friendly overall.
What a great recap. Thank you so much for this view of IRL tetris! Also the screen rotations were some CSI move.
Was watching a video about swords and this video was recommended, great documentary style video great job!
Awesome vid. Truly sparked nostalgia.
Those CRTs... I can't say I wasn't wondering where they came from before you mentioned the auction. They are a thing of beauty!
I love how happy and friendly these competitors are
This is tremendously wholesome and fun :) what a cool community, great video.
i was born in 88 so i grew up playing NES and SNES. Played tertris before but like these guys. Nice video and i watched it till the end!
