Going up against the world champ with a strategy that has a 11% chance, now that's the attitude to have. Legit inspiring not gonna lie.

This is why I love small esports. Children spend their whole lives dreaming of shooting hoops with Michael Jordan, in Tetris you can actually get that chance

You name dropped your aSongScout channel (which I hadn't heard of before) so I checked it out and damn dude I had no Idea you were such an amazing musician and such an excellent arranger! Funny enough I discovered the CTWC a week and a half ago due to a collab Jonas Neubauer did with musictuber Rob Scallon so I found about the tetris scene through music and then I discovered your music channel through tetris. Pretty funny how that worked out. Love all your content my dude

I feel like this guy is literally a textbook perfect definition of good sportsmenship.

Hey scout, just so you know, using tags is super important for KZfaq now. I recommend #tetris, #tetristuesday, and #CTM

I just wanted to say: You are such a nice and cool guy! I've never been interested in Tetris before I found your videos about (thx to the KZfaq Algorithm) but a couple of months later: I am addicted. I can imagine how you felt to play against Joseph... And you did it in the best way you can! We all can feel your love for the game in every single moment - regardless of what happens. And THAT is awesome and real sportsmanship! Thank you!

On a positive note, you were beating Joseph for probably 10 seconds in the early part of the first game. 😄 Seriously, I really enjoyed your lighthearted attitude throughout the commentary. It was a fun video.

As someone who has only been playing NES Tetris for about a month and a half now, it's nice to watch this. I make very similar mistakes at 18 and 19 so it's nice to see you dissect your past self and offer possible solutions/alternatives. Thanks for the videos!

Hey, it's been a while since you did a techniques video. Maybe go over some of the high level play tricks and tips. Or just a highlights explainer. You know, for the casual crowd. 😉

The production quality of all your videos is so good - as good as other channels that have millions of subs! Love the weekly uploads keep it up!

I'm loving these weekly uploads!

so fun to watch! love it when players analyze their past games.

This is totally going to be me in the CTM September 😂 The insight into your mindset in this video is actually quite helpful. Thank you!

The Tetris Journalist is back with another great video. Thanks man :)

This is...weird. I am just the average run of the mill goblin who knows fak all about Tetris, especially the playing part of it. Yet, here I am, gazing upon this video as well as other classic Tetris videos. Why? I find it entertaining, interesting, fascinating and amusing, but not in the comic kind of way, but how you and the others have turned Tetris into this huge, technical and such an advanced game is just "wow" to me. Amazing work this be, how in-depth you go and that you're so genuine about it. And pardon me, but I have no friggin idea why I haven't subscribed to your channel before, despite I've seen your videos before, but I have done so now, for sure! Keep up with these videos and analytics of yours, man. It intrigues even the non-tetris player like myself. Splendid!

This was fun! The coach in me definitely saw a ton more moves that could have been improved BUT all the stuff you said was generally pretty good, and of course it's no criticism of your play back then. I have 10 maxouts and I STILL PLAY LIKE THAT IN TOURNAMENTS NOW SOMETIMES because of nerves :( I also love the attitude of hoping JD maxed against you. That's the best attitude to have, and definitely one I've had when I've gotten to play top players like Nenu. It's just an honor to lose to the best!! Who cares if we have no chance =P

5:22 surprised nobody noticed, if he made an overhang with the S piece in guideline it was a TST setup on accident heh

Dude I feel you re: timing. I attended CTWC in 2014 and 2018 but didn't try and get good and qual until CTM. Have also done one ME. Such fun times watching it grow, but I'd time travel to 2010 with my current game if I could lol.

That is badass! "No, no, he said bad DAS." Oh.

Another inspiring video to drive me to get better. So I'm about 300,00 points behind, that's what it's like playing against the world champ.As always, wonderful and inspiring content. I really love how humble you both are. Thank you aGameScout/aSonScout. ^_^

Joseph's an absolute monster. I love all the newcomers and can't wait for CTWC this year. Koryan 2020! lol

I remember years back when I casually (not competitively by any means) played some Warcraft3 ladder and was playing against ThomasG. Got roflstomped so hard it physically hurt me. Guy was super chill, though. Gave me 30 minutes of advice on how to improve myself. I still continued to suck, but kudos to him.

Great video!

If his skill level ever reaches his scouting knowledge, he'll be unstoppable.

4:48 mans just set up a tspin triple rofl

I think joseph has just become so advanced because of the time he has to play as well as his age. I wonder what if we will ever see a hybrid player who does hyper tapping and DAS. When it comes to hours being able to play, the younger guys will have most people beat. Some of them play over 3000 hours a year. That is on the very low end because of the magical time for teens, Summer. So then we end up having someone who can probably play 5,000 hours a year and with very analytical practice like chess players (they generally have all of their games viewed by their trainer or a pro). So with a dedicated 16 year old, with help from the best in the game reviewing their games. You can pretty much reach god level in 1 year. I assume joseph did something along these lines to reach such a high level. It would actually be pretty funny though if you just stayed in private for 2 years and then joined the ctwc just to beat everyone as a nobody

I almost got to play you in CTM September but then we both got swept :( Except you were probably at much more of a disadvantage than I, considering you are a madman and streamed your own match

Game analysis are good thx!

love your videos.

at around 6:10 how about setting up a tuck for the square? by placing the s upward? but probably this would create a too jagged board as well hmm

15:09 That move was good though, it's not putting pressure on the holes.

I do wonder if Joseph would have thought to just run the counter-strategy to yours, recognizing that (without intent to insult your skill) the matchup is far enough in his favor that he doesn't need to play nearly as risky as the games in which he had early topouts.

That's tough buddy

14:42 even with that type of board, I can see a way you could of fit the square by moving the s piece to the other slot and fitting the square between then, making you Tetris ready and okay at the transition. I know this isn’t that important, but I’d just like to point that out

It's amazing when I kind of thought I was pretty "ok" at tetris, and then these masters come in and rule it. Great for the game and tetris community but just puts me down several pegs on something I thought I was good at. I'm great at speed and placements for the most part. Its surviving long bar droughts that kill me. I need to work on my burns more.

could you have gotten a tetris at 5:55? you could place the J standing up, and then plop the I piece in the well and could have gotten a tetris

Scout one time is enough to get a role!

4:27 Scout why? I checked discord for several minutes trying to find the notification. unlucky

14:40 the S piece going row 6/7 would have had clean spot for the O

whats the link to the original video

I know this is advanced but it would be cool if you explained what is "DAS"??? (not sure if thats right)

9:43 educational moment

Like if you think Jospeh should analyze his games.

I remember my first ever match against 1.2 player. But i was really lucky

5:20 TST Pog

16:04 lay the the other way around L --> __| andthen burn one line with the z =)

I wanna try that type of gaming system. I’ve only played it on my computer and the highest that I got is 460k

Title: Analysing my games. Scout: oH gOD my FaCe

you're great

It’s too late! I’ve already uncovered your secret identity! You’re Bruce Wayne!

Have you ever played warios woods?

14:45 could have t spun ngl but not gonna judge since i only hyper tap on keyboard

3:26 am i the only one that heard the windows pop up?

cool

U revealed something gamescout...

You had to BORROW aSongScouts page? Well, you ARE aSongScout I thought!

Analyzing My Boxing Matches vs. Mike Tyson

4:27 that fake discord notification

Yeee but most of those early topout games were against top level players that he probably felt more pressure to play more agro

We all know who you are aSongScout

100% classic tetris is the best esport to watch.

In spanish ctm means something else...

You were hoping for an early topout from Joseph and it didn't happen. Well hope is a strategy, but it was not fulfilled

Lol i played exactly same like you 3-4 months earlier and when i saw recorded I figured same things out to improve

this video came out on m b day

I feel like you’re burning to many lines unnecessary. This automatically takes so many points from you. I know it’s not easy but maybe you should change somehow your stacking game because it looks a bit chaotic. I would spend some time on figuring out some kind of stacking algorithm because with your current one you’ll be just loosing. Unfortunately, last year guys like dog or Joseph speeded up the progress and they look solid. Let me know what you think :)

The crazy thing is, you're already above average and almost professional tetris player. But you can't even qualify in ctwc right now. Like this year, Joseph got 12 max out qualify. He can literally beat you with only one hand. It's crazy to see how much tetris had improve. From almost all das player to almost all hypertapper.

David and Goliath.. 😂

Idk but i thought that Joseph was without a doubt the best in the world. Is that not right?
