Also, another video coming in 2-3 days (it's ~95% done)
oooh
I got bets on Ctwc 2020 or Vegas qual
Thanks to rolling and lvl 39 supper kill screen, the tetris game is progressing so fast that we have new greatest tetris game of all time almost every month. I'm a fan of Texas brothers but hell, Alex is sooooooo much fun to watch. He's so aggressive that he tops out early (
i see
This commentary packs so much energy, fantastic work
This was one of the best matches I ever done in my career! Both me and Tommy pushed each other with tetrises and we were not letting down! GG Tommy!
GG Alex!
excellent gameplay from both of you, may not be a tetris player myself but that was awesome to watch!
y'all are amazing, fantastic job and keep being awesome!
GG! Excellent entertainment.
Kinda weird to see Alex make a normal comment. GGs
"So instead he DOUSES himself in PARMESEAN CHEESE"
Like a true gamer.
the food of the champions
The best cheese a champion can use to douse himself
I fucking lost it when he said that after the minutes of tense action before. Laughed so hard.
hahahahaha
@matoiryuko9444 All this time, I've been dousing myself in taleggio. Maybe that's why I'm not a champion.
I don't think anyone else could make NES Tetris sound more exciting than you
I would put Sharky on the same level as Game Scout.
Boom, tetris for jeff.
BOOM TETRIS FOR JONAS
True
Facts. I never had na interest in this but his way of presenting the content, made me interested.
EXACTLYYYY!!! I didn't know tetris competition can be this thrilling and exciting lmaoooo 😂😂😂😂 the commentator legit makes the battle enjoyable
I feel so bamboozled by scout’s narration. “But that wasn’t the greatest game - THIS WAS” 😱😱😱😱😱
Lmao yeah, I was thinking to myself, "this is neat but it'd be cooler if it was the tiebreaker" but then it fucking happened lmao
@@night9_damn. You really can’t script this shit! Never happened before, happens on game 4 of the biggest tournament and then happens AGAIN in game 5 with the top 1 and 2 scores of all time. Holy.
No
Me when I realize that the hardest boss fight in gaming existence isn’t the hardest challenge in all of gaming in its entirety!
I was FLABBERGASTED.😭
"He doesn't have a cooler on hand to give himself a Gatorade shower, so instead, he doused himself in Parmasean Cheese"
I love this kid.
Please let dousing the winner in parmesan cheese be the new thing
Tommy earned that kinda legacy with this insane match.
he was just paying tribute to the godfather of rolling
@@MojoMonkey ah that makes sense!
@@MojoMonkey Doesn't make sense to me, what is the godfather of rolling?
@@jwallah346 a player by the name of Cheez
the incredible sportsmanship from Tommy, immediately clapping after seeing Alex's score and what happened at the end. fantastic game from the both of them, and massive respect shown from both players, beautiful thing to behold! this is what keeps brining me back to competitive tetris
Definitely, I feel the same, it's about the game and not the ego with tetris for the most part
I would have still been hyped to be Tommy because that was a legendary game.
Love how friendly they are, clapping and cheering for each other. I'm used to competitive Smash where you get a dismissive handshake at best and death threats aren't uncommon.
Smash players have big egos
@@FNNinry gotta smash those egos
FGC in general can be pretty toxic. I've competed in a few locals and some online tournaments in Tekken and while people are generally supportive - you'll get the few that say some egregiously horrible things to you.
One dude in the States, can't remember who but he got arrested for getting rejected by one of the girls that were competing - he threatened to rape her and shoot up the event that she attended. Was dumb enough to post his unhinged rant on YT before it got taken down lol
It probably helps that the game is less about clawing each other down and is more just a single player game made competetive, where everyone is just aiming for excellence and the only way to beat someone is to step up your own game.
@@FNNinry As a Competitive Smash Player, I can confirm we have big egos.
that was awesome, thanks for covering this, and with so much energy!
Hell yeah, great to see your support here on Tetris! Loved seeing your accidental WR the other day too! You guys are taking gaming to a whole new level 😃
Just like shout casting
yes
@@bennyballs22accidental? what? talking about classic mario? :o
wyd
Absolutely gutted for Tommy. The second single greatest performance in the history of the new format....and it still wasn't enough for a victory. Props to him for clapping and cheering, though!
It was the FIRST greatest performance until he lost. Dude literally did better than ANYONE has EVER done and it was still not enough. Absolutely unbelievable game.
If I got the best performance in history until my opponent beat that, I probably couldn't even be mad
The last game just shook the gaming heavens themselves! I wouldn’t discredit such a close game regardless!
I swear to god their potential was pushed to their limits right there, they really did go all or nothing on these games and made the #1 greatest game in history
How could anyone be mad in Tommy's place? To be a part of such a spectacular moment, is that not enough?
I haven't paid attention to NES Tetris in a while and hearing "level 39" feels like a psychic flashbang. Crazy how much the game as developed
Look back a bit. Before people implemented the superkillscreen with a mod people were getting to colors.
@@Freakmaster480 i feel like super killscreens kinda just make things boring tbh
@@darkithnamgedrf9495the opposite actually. games with rollers were becoming snoozefests of just survival and nothing else
@@darkithnamgedrf9495 super killscreen helps shortens games so they'd be more fast paced, and since there's less wiggle room for catchups, it incentivises players to play more aggressively early on. those absolutely make fore MORE exciting matches.
Alex t getting to level 235:
Having the top 2 scores be the finals battle is just such an anime moment, it couldn’t be more perfect
It’s one that shook the heavens themselves!
Good lord it's only been two years since rolling was a nascent concept and the killscreen was just beginning to become an actual playable part of competition matches and now they've already busted it so wide open that they had to make another harder killscreen. This is some wild rate of development
Absolutely flabbergasting. I was kind of lucky to join at the end of the DAS era just to appreciate this wild ride.
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
history repeats
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.
Once there's more international Tetris tournaments, replace God with "the top Japanese players" and it'll be more accurate.
I'm 36 and grew up playing NES Tetris. It's awesome seeing all of this kids pushing the limits of a game older than they are.
It is!
Proud of Tommy for not only showing up, but fighting through what looked like some social anxiety and still cheering on Alex, good games between them both here
This had no business being this exciting and entertaining. Never knew I'd be so engaged in a Tetris video; as an outsider to the competitive Tetris scene, this video was 👌
A good commentator is everything. Just ask Jelle's Marble Races.
"This wasnt the greatest clasic tetris competition of all time..."
It hit me like a freaking train
There’s always the potential to catch a bigger fish in the ocean out there.
Super killscreen brings all the drama and excitement back!
Also I really had to relive that shocking performance against Fractal during that explanation 💀 why Scout why
pretty good post in that game though
how tf does bro make tertis exciting
I'm LOVING this tetris color commentary -- it's hard to analyze the nuances of the matches in real time, but slowing it down and breaking it up makes a WORLD of difference. Thanks, mate!!
I have never watched a competitive game of Tetris in my life, but this video was so well made I felt like I understood everything that was going on. These matches were so insane and I was so on the edge of my seat I was basically standing.
I have a new respect for this sport.
This one is hands down for gaming history what you just saw.
I never thought I would ever hear the phrase "he douses himself in Parmesan cheese" before, let alone in a Tetris video
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 love how basically ANY activity has incredible moments like this that you couldn't make up, life does write the best stories
I don't follow competitive tetris, but this was fantastic to watch. Loved this, thank you for producing this.
I don't know how I got here, but I watched the entire video and had no idea Tetris could be this intense.
Well played on both parties.
same lmao
these kids are incredible, and also so wholesome, it's a pleasure to watch
In Russia, Tetris play you! We see how many corpses fit into hole in most efficient manner.
I have followed your footsteps on this.
Tommy and Alex both performed very well and left me excited throughout the whole video
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
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.

"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.
Been friends with these 2 for years and have been waiting for them to have a match together in comp. They did not disappoint man
Not even by the slightest! That last match shook the heavens of gaming themselves!
Love how these players support each other and the sportsmanship among the Tetris Community. Clearly they play for the love of the games and not for the prize money as it is insignificant compare to the majority of sports and skills competitions out there. These guys make it fun to watch and the skill they display is amazing. Thanks for posting videos like this. I find myself watching on the edge of my seat rooting for these players.
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.
after watching this match i was immediately like" damn cant wait for game scouts video on this" what an epic epic game. double rollover is unheard of
So you're telling me players got so good at the literal KILL screen that they had to romhack a harder kill screen?
My God, they're on a whole other level.
I just unintentionally stumbled upon this, didn't know tetris competition even existed, but your exciting and passionate commentary hooked me to the last minute of the video with me at the edge of my seat
Never thought I’d watch a 17 minute video about 2 Tetris games but here we are
Alexey Pajitnov: Look at far my boy has come...
I don't play Tetris but every time CZcams recommends me a Tetris video it's always the most insane gameplay I've ever seen
I love the implementation of the super kill screen.
Rolling flattened the game a little with players being virtually immortal.
I kind of lost interest after Eric's win in the last CTWC.
There was all kind of talk about a line cap but that didn't sound too good to me.
I like this solution way better and am definitely interested again as this changes the dynamic once more, rewarding good pacing but not taking away from high level acrobatics and survivability.
Super stoked that I stumbled upon this video. Thanks aGameScout. (Coincidentally one of your videos got me into Classic Tetris in the first place back when Jonas won it for the last time)
This is an INCREDIBLY well produced video.
Watching the playback with your narration felt like I was in the action. You knew the outcome but never gave it away and I had no skin in the game, I was just cheering for some outstanding classic Tetris players and witnessing the future of competitions!
Tommy clapping for Alex at the end was pure class, well played lads!
Thanks for showing the score difference in a clear way, it really helped streamline how competitive and close the games were! Great choice during editing.
The whole tournament was so good! The finals was just icing on the cake!
And the final match of the finals is just the sprinkles!
agamescout has that infectious energy
watching these wild games is one thing but the agamescout commentary changes the experience so much
omg
I knew exactly what happened, but your commentary still had me on the edge of my seat lol.
I absolutely fuckin love how this turned from a chill retelling of the story to high octane shoutcasting the actual match.
Great quality and pacing, love that you took the time to explain difficult situations. Really making this high tier play digestible to casual viewers
Wow this was perfect. I’ve never watched Tetris before but this was simplified and explained enough to where I could follow along and understand the match and magnitude of it.
Thanks for the great content!
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.
The commentary and the pauses to explain, is flawless, you made it more interesting than it seems
Crazy finish. They both activated on the last match.
I have no knowlege about tetris but this damn video was a rollercoaster of emotions. I like it.
Awesome vid. Love how you make the technical details so accessible to the layperson!
I missed the introduction of the super killscreen but it’s a fantastic addition to the game.
I don't watch many esports videos, and am completely unfamiliar with the competitive tetris scene.
But this is one of the most clearly explained commentary videos I've seen of a competitive esports match in a long time.
I could follow along with everything that was said and could feel the excitement of every development.
An amazing video! Well done!
I never knew tetris matches are this heartpounding
Great video, you're commentry and editing really helped showcases how epic this was! Well done to Tommy & Alex, amazing talent!
This is one of the best damn videos I’ve ever watched the commentary was so infectiously hype and informative. Well done, truly.
Never thought I'd get excited over a tetris match. Shit had me on the edge of my seat lmao
Wow, what a rollercoaster ride!
Perfect pacing and narration in this incredible video!
Especially the big reveal: I literally watched that ridiculous game with an open mouth, AND THEN...
that was a very intriguing and engaging commentary. You kept me hooked for an almost 20 min video about a game i couldn't care less about. Thats some talent brother! Keep making videos!
Never thought i'd get this hype about a million year old game that i have played less than 5 times
Bro should be a sports commentator 💀
Great video, love the high shoutcaster type energy with the pausing breakdowns. Great presentation
I've only played Tetris a few times in my life and all i knew is that at high level gameplay, there's a lot of tech and it's insanely hard.
The way you explained it in this video was perfect and gave me a great understanding of truely how hard high level Tetris is. This was a very entertaining watch!
The sportsmanship here is insanely wholesome..the immediate clapping 👏🏻
Great job of conveying the excitement and achievement to someone who knows nothing about this scene 👍
Oh man, your narration, especially the build up and the twist right before the last game, is from another planet! Really great work have you done here, aGameScout! Hat off, thumb up and everything else one does to show the greatest respect!
Bruh your commentary is so good. I was so invested!
you are, in my opinion, insanely interested in the topic of tetris, making it all the more entertaining to watch. I admire your passion, thank you for displaying such efforts towards expressing yourself so much that it doesn't matter that it's the nerdy topic of tetris, anybody could be inspired from your passion towards the game if they've ever played a game like it in their childhood.
You’re actually the reason why NES Tetris is entertaining to watch, please make more content ❤
Very good commentating! Was actually excited watching Tetris which I never have before.
Cheers mate
This video was INSANELY well edited and commentated 8D thanks for putting this together and explaining the excitement 8D
I can't begin to put into words how brilliant/entertaining/exciting aGameScout is in every possible way.
The play by play was just perfect. You could definitely be an e sports announcer
This might be the best tetris commentary I've ever seen. Accessible and in-depth.
I ain't gonna lie, that was crazy. I now know more about Tetris and about this amazing esport. Thank you, wonderful video
I love how at the beginning of every video, Scout backs it up the whole way and starts explaining what a tetris is... Just a refresher for all you non-maxout peasants :D
Who knew a game of Tetris could be so thrilling. This was some of the best tournament I have ever seen of a video game.
This is SUCH a good video, thanks for all your hard work!
you managed to make these tetris matches incredibly engaging, great video
man, and to think that jonas laid out the groundworks and foundation for all of this to happen, yet him missing all this. life is cruel sometimes. the game of tetris tho, i can't even fathom how far these guys have taken it.
I had literally no idea tetris had this level of play, lol, respect
Great job with the vid, man! Thanks for covering this I missed it
This is one of the most hyped videos I've ever watched🤣 You are so good at what you do
2:18 the fact that he could clear two lines at all on level 39 is amazing 😂
And the end of the vid showed alex t getting 5...
@@crudojoshuaricofort8795 yes, crazy 🤣
Only 7 months and now it’s at 157 😅
This is a modified rom of the game where the speed doubles on level 39, effectively ending it. Its not possible to get much further than 39. This is what is used in competition.
Level 157 was reached in an unmodified version, where there is no speed increase past 29.
This was such a great video, and honestly your shoutcasting of that match was great. A bit bummed at the lack of booms though, then again thats more Chris's thing so i get it.
You made this video exceptionally accessible! Keep it up and more nerds can get excited about classic
Tetris!
The story of the player that refused to play because that would reveal his identity until now sounds a lot like the story of Lilybunn, the VTuber that became a cracked player of Nick Brawl and Flash Party, but hasn't gone to a tournament yet because of being a VTuber.
Unbelievable how much this game has changed in the last 5 years
Well edited, thanks for sharing!
Man, you have such a good voice for commentary! I clicked on this video to watch the level 39 bit but you kept me hooked the entire time. Well done!
“He douses himself in Parmesan cheese” 😂😂😂😂
Man I wish Jonas was here to see this unbelievable play 😢
Great narration!! That has to be the best competitive anything I have ever seen. Never thought I’d say that about Tetris, but the constant back and forth was just so thrilling!
Multiple clutch moments by both players, incredibly narrow win, and it just happens to be the championship game. Crazy
Never thought someone would make me get so hyped up on a tetris match. Your explanation at the start is impressive and so easy to understand for someone who never played any other way than casually
15:53 lmao!! 🧀
