Hey guys, we hope you enjoyed this look into the Tetris esports scene! What competitive titles would you like to see us feature in future videos? 😀

While you played the shooters, I studied the block

garbo speaking unironically about 4w this is hilarious

0:59 HE DID IT. HE SAID THE THING

As a guideline player for more than ten years, I strongly agree that tetris is the world's most competitive game because tetris is my one in a million reason why I played this game

Very cool to see a little clip of my video included! Great summary of the classic scene, really well done!

This is absolutely fascinating; I didn't know tetris could be so complicated! Well done.

9:42 DOREMY ah that’s why the setups were so good

I've been in the competetive Tetris scene for 4 years now and I've gotta say: This is an absolutely excellent video! Y'all did an incredible job at explaining the 3 competetive scenes, the differences and the intricacies of each one in a way that is both greatly informative and entertaining! You did a great service in spreading the word of this amazing E-sport.

Thank you for making this video, competitive Tetris is such a great esport that deserves more love!

Competitive Guideline Tetris player here. That video talking about E-Sport in Tetris is one of the best I've watched EVER on the subject. I literally have nothing to criticize about it. It is pretty much perfect, and you perfectly summed up the whole situation. Glad I stumbled upon it !

It's so sad that this doesn't get nearly as much views as the overwatch videos you guys make, this is so underrated, just overall great video. keep doing what you guys are good at.

Gotta say besides OWL my favorite esport is Tetris. Watching Joseph defeat Jonas was actually one of the greatest matches I've ever seen. It was unbelievable.

That feeling when you finally receive a I shape and get a tetris

This was an awesome video. Thanks for making it

I'm so happy to see a video discussing competitive Tetris that actually goes into detail about the Guideline scene!

In my case I am integrated in the classic Tetris scene. Honestly the best community I have ever seen, would highly recommend

As a competitive Tetris player, it's always painful to hear outsiders talk about it because it always sounds like, "Sometimes, players will shoot each other from really far away. This is called "sniping" This video was pretty good though. Not only did you not just focus on classic like most reviewers do, you actually got some player insight into what actually goes through the head of a player. I do think you should've mentioned how controversial 4widing is, but that's just a nitpick.

The production value you bring to such niche competitive scenes is really cool of you. Every time one of these comes out it feels like some brave nerd somewhere is finally getting his spotlight.

kinda surprised tetrio didn't show up at all when talking about guideline tetris

Tetris is the first game I found out I was good at. Im an aggressive Guideline player and Im ranked 2,096 in tetris effect. Not too bad if I do say so myself :D

the Tetris Effect BGM at the ending was wonderful. The visual effects + music are a great combo to enjoy the game.

thanks for making this video to let more people know about competitive tetris!

Only 150k subs at this level of quality? This channel needs more subs ASAP

Thank you so much for this video. I play competitive Tetris along with Smash Ultimate, and sometimes it's pretty difficult to explain Tetris eSports to those in the Smash eSports side! Now I have something to show them :) As for another video idea, I hope you guys cover Puyo Puyo in the future. Puyo Puyo is the one of the first games to have an official eSports backing by the company themselves. There's a lot of history, mechanics, strategies, and players that IMO trumps Tetris in a lot of ways!

really great video i honestly expected this to just be about Nestris but was pleasantly surprised that Grandmaster and Guideline also had sections that explained the differences

I really wish people would get into Tetris more. I myself am a competitive guideline/modern tetris play and I find that it's super enjoyable to play.

Enjoyed the vid! Seeing Tetris in a new light, didn't realize the depth that such a seemingly simple game could have.

Pretty good video on one of the most interesting eSports out there. Keep it up!

I didn't even know Tetris had a competitive scene!!! Thank you for making this video! High-quality content!

love the video, surprised to see you guys make a video like this! everything is so accurate and truthful to the actual scene love it!

One of the things that I always have been sad about is how underground the tetris (especially modern tetris) community is, so it's nice to see that we're getting some appreciation as well.

Thank you for making this video!

I've been getting really in to tetris over the past couple of years but never really had many to talk about it with.Glad too see there is a large community out there.

This was an amazing video. Please do more like this, my interests fluctuate quite often and I'm off of shooters right now. Tetris, Puyo Puyo, maybe even speedrunning are all great topics! =)

Classic Tetris competition's are so fun to watch. I knew nothing about it but kept getting recommended the video of Joseph winning the world championship and it blew my mind. I have never attempted to get into classic Tetris but watching it is awesome. Also love that you showed a clip of Taro playing 99! I loved his stream (and CLG)

Rip Puyo Puyo and Panel de pon community

God ive been trying to go pro for about a year now. Ive never seen a video document the community this well before. Good job! :D

As an avid tetris viewer for years, i love you for this

Probably the best look at competitive tetris i've seen and with great production value.

This was an incredibly well researched and well scripted video! Excellent job guys, you really did one of my favourite games and communities justice.

Man. Idk why I teared up at the end but damn I did and it's because of Tetris. I love this game a lot, it's basically my first ever video game and still playing to this date. It's such a wonderfully simple yet still complicated game that really never gets boring no matter how many times I play. Never fails to be fun and relaxing while still managing to be quite infuriating to also play.

Should have added that, despite being competitive, this is EXTREMELY wholesome, with everyone supporting each other as much as possible. Even other games like chess have nasty people and drama, but Tetris brings different people of many varied backgrounds together. These colourful blocks are bringing people together.

rest in peace jonas neubauer the bartender king of tetris

yess more people talking about tetris! and I wasn't aware of TGM competitive scene, that's something new for me

I just got into tetris because of Vtubers and I was really surprised to find out that guideline tetris was so fun and that it wasn't as popular as I expected. Thank you for the video! Just seeing the amount of effort it (probably) took to make it is amazing. What was said in the end about the game not stagnating is not probably even more true recently with tetrio coming out of the beta, and with how the slightly changed rules completely change the meta there.

Love these videos

When you play someone named “garbo” but you get 15-0’d by him

tetris is such an amazing and fun game and so much people think its boring because its just blocks but so many complex things can be created out of them. man i love this game

is suprising how diverse the tetris community is i myself is a gulidline tetris player (played it for 5 years, im ass at it thou) and this video is very informative, i approve!

Video quality is 10/10. How come this doesn't have more views?

Ahh yes Tetris my favourite competitive esport

How did I never see this video before? This is aweseome!

Thank you for putting a word out for tetris! Indeed tetris is more than what it looks like and it's always being analysed and practiced to have a better and more efficient gameplay!

Tetris is my favorite game, I started playing when I was 7 yrs old now I’m 16. As years passed, I consider myself to be a pro Tetris player 😀

Great video!

Thank you for so much for talking about all three communities in-depth! I always get a bit annoyed in these types of videos where they talk about Classic Tetris and then group the other two as "those flashy new fast ones" or Guideline and then group the other two as "those old weird ones with less wallkicks". It was nice to see equal attention and credit given to all three :)

Thanks for sharing our community ❤️

Damn guys, your videos, they are so good! Damn!

I wish I could say "cover Panel de Pon next!", but our own scene is still pretty niche (but definitely growing online!). We were about to finally get one of our first really substantial offline tournaments with Pokemon Puzzle League at Perfect Clear, but then the pandemic happened... It was scheduled for April, got rescheduled for August, and now it looks likely it'll need to be pushed back even farther, assuming it even happens at all at this point. There is a silver lining, though. There exists an extremely accurate fan game called Panel Attack which has online play and a ranking ladder which the community has been using to build up a grassroots competitive scene. The release of Panel de Pon on the Nintendo Switch Online service has also added a new way for us to play the game online. I'd encourage anyone who's interested to search for either the "Panel de Pon" or "Tetris Attack Online" Discords. Feel free to hit me up, too, if you're having trouble finding us. I've more or less become the self-proclaimed ambassador for our community, despite not being terribly active in it myself. :p I'm BusterBeachside#4501 on Discord!

i just learned about this game from Suisei and Doremy 3 weeks ago, now i stack blocks in my head as i sleep.

That Tetris Battle footage REALLY had me missing that little game. Damn, it was the most PvP fun I've had in years despite the ads, and I'm still sad that it was shut down.

The main reason why Tetris isn't as big as it could be, is because of The Tetris Company, the legal owner of the brand. They denied ARIKA to make sequels of TGM, or even port them on Consoles. They shut down Tetris Friends, a flash game, and never ported it to HTML. Tetris Friends no longer had dev support after 2014, and during 5 years, the site was filled with malwares and intrusive ads, that the Guideline had no choice but dealing with it, or creating unofficial and underfunded projects. They consistently denied both the Guideline and Grandmaster scenes to get bigger and more accessible. And you can't buy older Guideline games, like the ones made by EA, THQ or Tetris, because they constantly delist them, and deny players for buying them. Nowadays, the actual CEO of Blue Planet Software, parent company of the Tetris Company, is Maya Rogers. Daughter of Henk Rogers, founder of BPS. She did many interviews, talking about turning Tetris as a "life-style brand". They want to make Tetris a fashion brand, making partnerships with Hello Kitty, UNIQLO, and others. And those were at the same time when the Guideline Tetris scene had to make their own stable Tetris clients, or when the TGM scene had to buy expensive Arcade hardware, or rely on emulation. I get why Akshon decided to dodge this subject. It's understandable that they want to be as neutral as possible. But TTC, the real owners, did everything wrong towards the support of their competitive community. And people has to address that fact. If you think Tetris is an esport, it isn't. And if you think Tetris should be one, you have to know why it isn't.

really nice video quality content and editing

Ayy good job with this video!

In Tetris, you need speed, precision, and strategy! Eye and hand eye coordination!!!

TGM was kind of based game, Tetris on Sega-System16: famous in Old Japanese arcade scene. They have same rotation pattern and existence of lock delay while piece is hitting stack. (also: Nintendo's Tetris for NES wasn't released in Japanese Famicom)

You could use the TrackMania community / e-sport scene. It's pretty obscure, even for someone (me) that played the game in my childhood and learned about it 2 days ago.

this made me want a puyo video

Feel like your puyo puyo vidéo will be awesome

i always get goose bumps watching the Classic Tetris Videos - i for myself prefer the newer versions that follow the guidelines - most i like tetris effect because the music makes it even better

Hey, isn't the colour for the L & J pieces swapped sometimes?

classic tetris most competitive for me imo

For anyone looking to try out competitive Tetris the current best option is Tetr.io Free to play, available in both browser and standalone desktop versions, simple UI, and lots of customization options for single player challenges.

Dude I play Tetris so much it’s a great game

What's the name of the remix playing from about 1:33?

Getting stoned and watching high-level Tetris is like my new favorite thing

I expected to hear something about the "waterfall" effect, which means that there is gravity and a cut piece can fall from its position after deleting a line, I don't know if that concept is official since the only place I read it was playing an illegal copy of Tetris for my old cellphone which teach me that mechanic and I hadn't forget it since then.

Definitely some Pokémon music at around 8:30 pog

I'm new to this channel honestly but has super smash bros. Been spoken about because if not I would love that. That would be 10 billion percent exhilarating.

I think Classic Tetris gets the most traction because of CTWC, but those who are unfamiliar with guideline have their mind blown with the pros' 3+ pps gameplay.

I heard that remix of "Emotion" from Pokemon Black and White 😄

finally something about my favorite game

1. If you were going to use Blitz's IE logo pattern build, it would've been nice if you had given him credit. 2. It would've been nice if you had talked about pattern building as an additional facet/discipline of Tetris.

good video!

Just gotta mention 8:02 they got some clips of Theodd1sout and simpleflips playing against each other in tetris friends

Boom! Tetris for Jeff

great vid

Wasn’t the first “guideline game” released in 1999, though? Or did they not formally standardize the guidelines until two years later?

Could we get a video on Mario Kart? I'm sure there must be competitive play for this game.

Can I say that the scene is getting younger too.

thanks for chaning the color of the t piece

Thing with this video is that this is more focused in Guideline Tetris. Classic Tetris plays way differently.

What Tetris game is 11:12?

Oh so the competitive Tetris I played was TGM! Coz we were trying to KO each other as fast as we can!!!

Dude competitive Tetris is so fun. I play Smash, but most people don't know I play Tetris on the lowkey and they're so shocked when then play against me 😂

7:45 who was playing on the left right side. was it god himself

You had the opportunity to say "harddrop a like" instead of saying "drop a like" xD

RIP Jonas Neubauer

Tetris for Jeff xD
