Jonas Neubauer April 19, 1981 - January 5, 2021 Passing the torch to the new generations. Thanks for everything Jonas! Will remember you the most in October during CTWC...

Lol Koryan in the boom Tetris for Jeff t-shirt

SPOILER The reason Jonas lost is cause he wasnt rocking his classic leather jacket that gives him tetris super powers.

"we should probably try to commentate more on the match itself" "ok im sorry" *silence*

Regardless of who wins, we all get to enjoy a great match.

Jonas still the best tetris player. Rest in Peace. You're legend.

That set was insane!!! Love Koryan’s shirt😂

38:15 "Jason Salee"

Boom .. Tetris for Jeff!!

I have no idea why I am watching this, I only know that I accidentally got to this video, and now I have watched 35 minutes of it and cant seem to stop...

39:32 i love how Heather shook her head at Jonas when he leaned forward to burp lmaoooo

39:30 Heather shaking her head at the Jonas burp.

"Jason Say-lee" Close enough.

As a person who doesn't watch competitive Tetris, I'm not sure how I landed on this video. I watched the whole thing with great fervor and a surprising amount of enjoyment. That was amazingly intense and dramatic and, even knowing what little about the game that I do, it blew me away to watch. What really, really, really impressed me, though, was the amount of camaraderie and sportsmanship shown by the contestants. There was no doubt that they respected one another. They were never going to just let the other win but had no intention of being disrespectful or rude in the processes of trying to get the victory. It's not often stated how important your opponent is to making you better but it's one of, if not the most, important things to improving. People get lazy, some will know they are the best, or good enough, and stop reaching further beyond their own limits. Which is fine, if they just want to be the best for that moment, never looking further or reaching out to find their true potential. Stagnantly doing only what is necessary. Having someone who pushes you to become better, though, even if only slightly, is invaluable to becoming the best you can be. If you have the drive to find your own limits and wield it like a hammer, then a strong, at times more capable, rival is without question the required anvil. The two constantly battering against one another with your skills, knowledge, and talent being the malleable metal caught in between. To continue the metaphor, it is what keeps it all sharp. It's fantastic to be competitive. Humans, society, technology, and athleticism is all carried to its greatest heights by competition. What's not necessary, is competing without respect for your opponents. Even if they're obviously less talented or skillful, they have every ability to gain ground quickly and potentially overtake you. Like the commentators said, there are kids who just started playing the game doing amazing things. That's true for everything in the world. Just because you are on top now, and have clocked in the most experience possible, doesn't mean you can't be dethroned by someone who just picked it up and understands things about their anatomy, the game, and its systems that you just don't. Understanding will always be the most important part of anything you do, it is the foundation of skillfulness. Age, experience, and the time you invested are all just saying the same thing. That you had more opportunities to form a better understanding of whatever it is that you were doing. If you spent those seconds, minutes, and hours unfocused, not trying to achieve the understanding you could have, then you will be taken down by someone who better utilized that time or had a natural gift of understanding that you just did not. Considering yourself "the best!" while resting on your laurels is competitive suicide. Even if you're right in that moment, you won't be forever. It's fine to decouple from whatever it is, long enough to recharge, just don't let those moments recharging extend further than they should. So, I'll conclude my soapbox manifesto by saying I am super inspired by these two competitors. They looked each other in the eye, shook hands like gentlemen, smiled at one another between rounds, tried with absolutely everything they had, and genuinely congratulated the other on a game/match well played. I know it was an exhibition, thereby taking some of the seriousness away, I can almost guarantee they behave the same way during a real tournament. Take notes, that's how you win or lose with class. TLDR: Great sportsmanship in the video. You should always respect your opponent and utilize their talents to make you better at whatever it is that you strive to be great at! Just don't stop at "great" if you have it in you to be the best. Don't stop at "The best" if you can go further and become "The Greatest of All Time!" Just remember that understanding the thing you're doing is the only thing that matters. Beyond experience, age, or time played. Correct is a result, not a process. If the rules allow it, then however you win is acceptable. Just do it with honor and respect for the game and its players. Otherwise, your victory will be tarnished and those who should revere you will praise you with caveats about your demeanor. (I don't want this to sound condescending or like I'm a know-it-all. This is completely meant as advice that came to mind based off of things I saw in that video and things I've personally learned in my life. Things that I've not seen clearly conveyed as often as they should be. If I come across as an asshole, please know I didn't mean it that way nor do I want you to think "Wow, look how smart this guy is!" I don't know that I am smart and you definitely shouldn't think I am. I've just noticed a few things here and there and hope that information might help someone else who, is a slow learner like myself, and hasn't noticed it yet. Why I typed all this out on a Tetris video, I can only guess.I believe it was because of the impeccable behavior of these two competitors. Who seemed to do so much, of the things I mentioned, right, that I figured it might be good for me to share my thoughts here and hopefully spread some joy around based off of their wonderful sportsmanship.)

Most exciting 5 game tetris match of all time!

Джонас жив в наших сердцах. Пусть он при жизни и не ставил рекордов, и уже не поставит, к сожалению, но он однозначно лучший игрок за всё существование CTWC. Его харизма и доброе выражение лица навсегда в наших сердцах, и вспоминается каждый раз, когда мы видим тетрис) Спасибо комментатору Yuri the Professional, что познакомил меня с CTWC. PS: Жаль, что Кореан не прошел в этом году =(

With 8 T piece trophies and 2 long bars, Jonas could make a real life Tetris

Tetris for Jonas! 😆

i really miss him😭

RIP Jonas... Probably the best the game will ever see... :(

about that comment about younger kids picking this game up, i would like to say that it is solely because of the matches posted online

7:38 exactly the same score for a few seconds. Glad the commentators are watching 😂

Koryan is such a legend...you can tell that by the tshirt he’s donned 👊 respect to jonas as well

Wow. Scary good level of tetris. Hope these two meet in the final this year. That was quite a match.

Wow, this is probably the greatest Tetris match in the history of Tetris. The fact that it went a fifth game, and both players hit over 900k in that fifth game with one getting a max out is mind boggling.

Koryan could've made a case that he was the best after this game. Then Joseph arrived.

Koreon totally deserves a championship title he is a beast. Jonas you still my fave :) like the time Harry took it in 14, it will only make you stronger and better. Thank you for being such a graceful loser and a gracious winner. You bring much honor to you and the sport. Boom Tetris for Koooooorean!!!

Jonas Neubauer - the Tetris GOAT Rest In Power

I feel the pain of these two uncomfortable non-bro commentators

Most intens i've seen both of them play. And very nice commentating as well!

So much fun to watch as always. Thanks for posting

Top 5 tetris commentators who have SWORN

While watching round 4 I thought it was the most exciting game I have seen so far. Then round 5 came along 😮

I hope these two meet in the finals this year. What an exhibition.

I'm so honored to witness this match LIVE!

Amazing stuff. Love the sportsmanship. These guys have great attitudes and are setting a great example while showcasing some incredible skills.

WOW. Epic Game 5, can't wait for the tournament.

We have the Boom shirt for Jeff- but where is the Neckineck shirt for Jeff AND Jonas? Hahaha

That was a fabulous exhibition match, and it's awesome to see CTWC going international!

Amazing show guys! Congrats to both of you, you are the best in the world!!

OMG This Shirt 😂 I love it

I need Koryan's T-shirt, that shit is legendary.

Great Match! Seeing them get to max out and play the 5 games was impressive! Congrats to Korian and Jonas!

That was the best Terri’s match I’ve ever watched Congratulations to both players!

Unbelievably awesome competition play. I was definitely expecting a good game. But I was not expecting that.

7:31 Hey there's no cursing on this Christian KZfaq Channel

okay these commentators are actually amazing ! i appreciate the commentary and i actually rly enjoyed watching and listening :D

I have been waiting all year for this! BOOM TETRIS.

Never see this maxout pace Koryan vs Jonas in last round, before he is only maxout for himself for couple times, but this time is very incredible.

I'm 16 yo and I really like these videos. There is something calming about watching people play Tetris. Thinking about getting an NES to play haha

Everyone in this video couldn't have expected the force that would come December later in the year...

Great, great gameplay!!!! Loved it!

Koryan without jetlag is almost unstoppable.

Вы еще русскую озвучку не слышали, сам Джонас не так радуется палке как он

It's BACK!! Been waiting for more Jonas action all this time, I know I'm 4 days late but still.

I get the same feelings of anxiety and stress watching these Tetris matches that I get when watching an important sports match. So entertaining! Great job by both competitors and Jonas is a great face for the competitive Tetris community!

The flipped cam on the right is MESSIN with MA HEAD

Vacíos esos asientos, lástima que no vivo por ahí para ver el BOOM tetrix for Jonas :'u

So happy to see new a new tetris video

This is both exciting and relaxing. I don't even know how, but i love it.

Koryan сбивает с толку. Сам японец, имя созвучно с Кореей, а на майке лицо, похожее на финалиста 2016 года - Jeff. В игре выпадают почему-то не зеркальные тетрамино. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm so excited for CTWC 2018. What are the dates for it?

I watched this live on Twitch and it was mesmerizing!

Jonas and Trey inspire me -so- much! more than anyone, really. It's nice to see people my age reaching new heights!

Had pornhub opened on another window, somehow got on this video and just decided to watch the whole thing....what am I doing with my life?

Instant like crew checking in.

Actually really enjoyed the different type of commentary to live commentary. A lot more of an analytical style as opposed to the type of commentary that you could listen to and know exactly what was going on. Very insightful and interesting!

Wow what a match and comeback on the last match and with a maxout! GG both of you

14:03 giraffe to back end

I don't get it. Did Jonas just... you know... *lost* ? :o

Watching this is like having a succession of mini heart attacks; about one every 10 seconds for 50 minutes. That was amazing!

I didn't know about this event. Can't believe I missed this in Hong Kong.

6:01 BOOM arm for Koryan

If this is a preview of Portland... we are in for a real show of drama... including another 30 competitors who could be equally potent.

This was such a damn good battle. More content please!

Excited for CTWC 2018!!

I really like these commentators, they did a great job.

I'm curious as to the piece totals that are shown ingame but not in this public display format. When not playing with the same starting RNG, a longbar drought can make one player's game much tougher and it looked like Jonas got droughted at some key moments. Amazing match regardless, but CTWC will put both players on more equal footing so RNG is not a factor.

Now that was a good fucking match of Tetris, like I don’t think you could get any better than that match, great fucking job Koryan and Jonas as always

Can't wait for the tournaments to be back in October :D

Clash of the titans

Best players in the word!!!!!!

man that was heart racing, what an amazing neck and neck match. This'll truly be remembered as the battle of the greats

Amazing games though. Great sportsmanship from both Jonas and Koryan. Glad to see Koryan get a win :)

17:53 one of the editors misdropped there

Boom tetris for Jonas??? Neck 'n Neck??? Nothing???

That game 4 comeback for Jonas and then the game 5 one for Koryan... insane match, can’t wait for the CTWC

Don't know much about tetris but watching the video was really interesting thanks to commentators and players

Sorry for the spoiler, but as Jonas immediately recognized, Game 5 makes legit history...

Rip jonas 💔

I have a retro pie emulator and your videos have encouraged me to play Tetris on the snes

I love how open they are with the commentary language.

totris for jiff

For those of you who say "Of course Koryan wins, he is Asian", remember that 1. it kinda condescends other Asian players like SQR that haven't even been able to get to CTWC finals, 2. Harry Hong is also Asian but was beaten by Jonas multiple times before 2014 victory (but has not been at a final ever since) 3. CTWC has been dominated by non-Asian players like Quaid Ritchie, Alex Kerr, Matt Buco, and definitely Jonas Neubauer. 4. Koryan was eliminated in Round of 16 in 2017 CTWC.

RIP Jonas. such an inspiration!

Pure awesome. Gratz to Koryan.

Trey in the background And koryan with boom Tetris for Jeff shirt Wtf

RIP

Immediately clicked when I saw that there was a new Classic Tetris video. Was not disappointed.

What I love about Tetris championships is that it's very competitive, but noone gets pissed off because their favorite lost. I put it down to intelligence like you don't see in football
