At the 2022 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.

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 10,000 attendees. Every year the scores get higher. Rivalries are revisited once again, and new players emerge to challenge the old guard. Over 100 players have maxed out the score now. Will you be the next? ecstasyoforder.com thectwc.com - Hry
4 players going at lvl 29 at the same time was honestly the coolest moment of the tournament.
Yeah, totally wild.

@@mktowen1054 i hope he is training rolling :D
I truly wish Jonas could sit down and watch what I just watched :(
Viva Yonas!
Oh yeah, I think Jonas would have loved to see how the competition advanced.
R.I.P Jonas.. :(
If Jonas learnt rolling he'd very much be playing here tbh. Dude's Tetris iq was just different
❤
10:40 Mad skills from Huff 🔥🔥
Huff has a real "World Series Of Poker" vibe in this tournament
This is nuts the level this game is at right now
Felt like yesterday the kill screen was unplayable. Wasn't many max outs and a score of 800k+ was considered a winning one
where is joseph

@@mktowen1054behind you
i love how they smile at each other as if was not a competition
16:25 wow never seen 3 tetris in a row so fast like that impressive.
I love Huff in dark tone you just see only half of his face. He looks like tetris killer 😆
Terminator mode
Love Vandie & Sharky but happy to hear this familiar voice combo
Just after witnessing his optimism and excitement, Fractal has become the player I’m cheering for!
Loving this CTWC! Great games
So sad huff got swept😭 he was killing it until then. Was hoping it would go to 5
Yooooooooo, nice to hear Steve-O taking interest in classic tetris.
where is joseph
@Jim Yes. Didn't you recognize the voice?
That triple tetris from Sidnev just after 16:04 was awesome.
Awesome to see kill screen play. Top tier skill, the power creep is OP
OMG, i love these commentators. The game become much more alive
Ikr? He said, "the long bar is the best way to get a Tetris". 😖
I'm pretty sure James is the worst commentator in Tetris.
Boom! Tetris for James. @38:07
I know you guys miss Jonas, Joseph, etc. so let's all hope we can always have our OG commentator Chris and with James who is becoming one as well. (And they also push each other to the limit! )
I miss Joseph and Koryan
and Jonas.
And Greentea's smile
And Jeff
Jeff played this tournament. He was in an earlier video.
I've been out of the loop but what happened to all the OG players? Last time I truly watched was 2019 but ever since 2020, I can't find Harry/Buco/Josep/Koryan/GreenTea/Jani/Svavar/SQR/Alex/Quaid (Sean/Hauser/ whatever he goes by now)/Trey in any CTWC videos. Did they all retire after after Jonas or just still recovering from the Pandemic? For me, having watched since 2016's final, it truly does not feel same without ANY of the faces I recognized for those years til now, but glad to at least hear Chris and James commentating. Don't get me wrong new players are great to have like Joseph/Danqz in 2019 but It's all new players using rolling and I personally don't find it enjoyable to watch at all, and it legit feels way too different.
Sidnev in round of 16 was so much more confident than in round of 8. I am somewhat disappointed by his early topouts but i understand the aggression and risks he took.
"Long bars are the best way to get Tetrises." Classic.
Not much smiles or fun :(
Fractal is so joyful and enjoying on top ! HUFF being always friendly and respectful. Fighting all of you are amazing ^^
Man they are so damn good. Crazy.
11:53 sidnevs reaction is hilarious
Oh I am excited!
THANKYOU!!!
A la espera!!!!
I love these commentators, they say exactly what I want to hear. And they are active and seem to have some fun
Rolling era was OP!
Dear lord, watching 4 people play past 29 at once is crazy...
Nice to see SydNev, from the Netherlands. A lot of potential!
16:30 boom triple tetris for Sidnev 😄
I hate to say it... but it feels like it's time to change commentators. Vandy, pumpy and sharky all got it down way better at this point
They need a better way to end the countdown instead of fading "Tetris!...ES, Es, es....."
Nah its iconic
King absolutely goated as an interviewer. Love it
Where is Joseph and koryan this year? I'm curious. Also Quaid is probably needing years to get rolling down from DAS playing.
Joseph is busy with college. Koryan could not make it to Portland.
andy is a monster
I hope top 8 pt. 2 is streamed today
Huff has always seemed like a bad boss character since beating Jonas and Joseph in 2020. Like M. Bison, or Dr. Robotnik or Shang Tsung or somebody.
32:18 what are prvrsrvrses?
Boooom Tetris for … this is like score a goal 😂
Andyyy
He had such a good run this tournament
The problem with Sidney, is that he tends to pile up his lines too high. That's why he loses.
Huff is really choking live,what is happening to the kid?
I'm confused 😕 isn't their supposed to be when you talk about more than one person?
it's also used to talk about a single person sometimes, just like with "you", which is also grammatically plural
Anyone know why Joseph is competing? Sorry haven’t been follow for a while.
Joseph didn't compete at the 2022 CTWC because he was busy with college.
21:21 // SPOILERish…below
The 4x Max Out 29+ was amazing!! Are you kidding me. The sounds! Thanks Trey.
What’s the meaning of max out
A Maxout is when a player scores one million points. In NES Tetris, the score counter does not go beyond 999,999. This tournament uses a special cartridge that adds a 7th digit to the score counter.
The 98% Tetris rate from Sidnev is satisfying to watch
rip sidnev
I'm late, well shit.
Not gonna lie, i distanced myself from the classic Tetris community since the advent of rolling because it was just so boring for me to spectate, but this commentary and the crowd literally makes the difference, i feel the same way as back when i was watching Jonas, Joseph, zyzzyx, and all the OGs. It probably wasn't the rolling itself but the format. Classic Tetris is back baby
Yeah, the scene has changed so dramatically in a short period of time. I blame Joseph. :D
Very thanks FROM ITALY 👍🤜🤛💪🔥 , ciao e grazie
WHEN IS THE NEXT VIDEO????
Tomorrow
Yo what the hell is this playing style...
It is a technique called Rolling.
aGameScout explains it in his video

I need no commentator tetris
You should have kept Sharky as a commentator. He is way better than both the ones that are doing it now. He is better because he is actually good at the game which gives him a huge edge over them.
How many times can I hear James talking about the "Tetris bag" and "Tetris rate" and comparing this game to the newer versions of Tetris because he has nothing to talk about and he needs to fill time while Sharky gives a very nice commentary on the actual games.
You got a gem. Stop going back to the mediocre.
"they"....? come on...
so boring that そっ閉じ
What's wrong with those who use their feet in play ... don't they know that's ugly ???
What's the point of them rolling their fingers under the controller? Makes no sense. I think they are doing it because someone started doing it at some point and now they all think it helps them play the game. It's ridiculous.
There is a massive point to it. It is much easier to rapidly tap the controller to press the button against a surface, than to rapidly tap the tiny key on the controller.

Sadly the new players are boring. Tetris has gone down hill in last few years cause these guys have no character.
Wow, it looks like I've written this myself. I've commented something very similar in a Quaid's video, hoping the message would get to Jeff. The old guard made Tetris enjoyable and CHARISMATIC. CHARISMA is what Tetris really need, not giga scores. What the tetris community is missing is that you do not root for scores, you root for players, and it's entirely up to the players to have or not charisma. The old guard was charming, fun, likeable, goofy in a good way, and for DAS players, extremely talented. The new kids are just cookie-cutter kids. No character at all.
@ Then what’s the point of hosting a tournament? If you want “personality”, go ahead and hang out with the people, not have them fill up spots in a competitive tournament where skill actually matters. Also, claiming that these people don’t have personality for some reason is extremely disrespectful when it’s pretty obvious that they do. I get that you are more attached to the old players in the scene, but there is no reason to be disrespectful to new players who are making the tournament objectively better. Just compare the pinnacle of the 2019 tournament to the average game in 2022, and it’s clear how much the scene has grown.
@@ertooo4324 you can keep believing, just like the Tetris organizers do, that bigger scores mean a growth in the community. Just compare YT views for CTWC between Jonas era, vs today's era, you can include CTM too since they the new kids are there all the time. Trace a graph if bigger scores mean more audience. On the contrary, it's only taking the interest away from the casual viewer (that casual viewer is how your base grows). Bigger scores is not how you grow Tetris, you grow it by making it an enjoyable experience, and that means charisma. One clear as crystal example for you, good sir. James Chen and Chris Tang are far, faaar from the most technical commentators. But people love them. They're the voice of CTWC, you know why? Charisma, they have loads of it. For that 1 single reason, people remain huge fans of their commentary. Regarding scores: these new lads are not more skilled. They use a different method: rolling. Put them all under the same method and THERE you will have a true skill comparometer. DAS vs rolling is never a matter of skills, but just a mechanical imput advantage for rolling. A championship should set them all under the SAME rules, if you wish to compare skill levels. I watch every CTM, I have great interest in Tetris, but I'm pretty sure the Tetris community is in great denial if you think humongous scores is the answer to growth. Bookmark my comment and come back in 5 years. Tetris will still be a tiny niche despite 10 million points WR coming ahead. You're free to bookmark my comment.
@ I heavily agree with this comment, every match is a snoozefest because with rolling, I expect the game to last all the way past 29, maxouts are no longer that exciting, it's just a new era not meant for people who enjoyed the rush of the game ending at 29 and how fast the pace gets. Growth can be a bad thing as well @Ertoo, this really reminds me and It feels the same as when AGDQ went from the small fun rooms to the big corporate hotel rooms, it just feels like it lost the excitement.
@ My point is that there is no reason the tournament should be limited or held back simply because of “charismatic” players not catching up to new ones (do keep in mind that rolling is not a “innate” skill like hypertapping; it’s not a coincidence that almost every serious competitor in the scene has adequately switched). Perhaps part of the draw of the tournament for 2016 and 2018 was the fact that the game seemed conquerable by casuals. But if/when the scene stays at the same competition level as 2018 or earlier, the prestige of the tournament gets severely diminished. The main point of the tournament is to find out who is the best tetris player, not how to make it the most entertaining (even if that is the second biggest goal). Casual viewers want to see skill on display, not people who misdrop frequently and don’t display that high of a skill level.
I think the main issues that the tournament has to address right now are game length/line caps. Even as a fan and tetris player, I have to admit that the games can feel too long at times (although I don’t exactly know what other people think). It was not a big issue before due to the number of early topouts, but I think it will be an aspect that can hinder it in the future. I do agree with @Succubus Fan that uncapping the lines is pretty harmful to the game overall, changing it into a marathon instead of battle of efficiency.
But no matter what, I think it’s way too early to say that CTWC is doomed for not pushing aside “better” players when people don’t even seem to be giving them a chance.
OH MAN...WHERE IS JOSEPH..JONAS(RIP)... GREENTEA...KORYAN..JANI...THEY WERE THE GOLDEN ERA...THIS NEW KIDS YES TALENTED BUT NO PERSONALITY WHATSOEVER
No point in flying over to portland, paying for a hotel etc, if you have no chance of winning.
JD was busy with college, None of the Japanese players could make it out. Jani is doing whatever he’s doing rn
They have personality you just aren’t watching the videos lol
@@SodiumOverdose I've been watching the videos...these guys are very boring...its like watching robots...they just not selling the tournament...
@@pavelnavarro2541 if u think they have no personality just by watching how they play then by that logic, none of the players pre 2020 have personality either (except greentea)
