Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out the full broadcast of the game here for Vandy's original live commentary and his post game interviews with Alex & Tommy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q86hmLCKpp3PdGw.html Also, another video coming in 2-3 days (it's ~95% done)

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!

"So instead he DOUSES himself in PARMESEAN CHEESE" Like a true gamer.

I don't think anyone else could make NES Tetris sound more exciting than you

Please let dousing the winner in parmesan cheese be the new thing

I feel so bamboozled by scout’s narration. “But that wasn’t the greatest game - THIS WAS” 😱😱😱😱😱

"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.

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

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!

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.

Having the top 2 scores be the finals battle is just such an anime moment, it couldn’t be more perfect

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

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

that was awesome, thanks for covering this, and with so much energy!

“But instead he douses himself in Parmesan cheese” has got to be one of the funniest lines of all time

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.

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

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.

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 👌

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

"This wasnt the greatest clasic tetris competition of all time..." It hit me like a freaking train

I never thought I would ever hear the phrase "he douses himself in Parmesan cheese" before, let alone in a Tetris video

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.

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 don't follow competitive tetris, but this was fantastic to watch. Loved this, thank you for producing this.

I love how basically ANY activity has incredible moments like this that you couldn't make up, life does write the best stories

Bro should be a sports commentator 💀

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

14:43 "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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

how tf does bro make tertis exciting

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

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

Never thought I’d watch a 17 minute video about 2 Tetris games but here we are

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.

I don't play Tetris but every time KZfaq recommends me a Tetris video it's always the most insane gameplay I've ever seen

The commentary and the pauses to explain, is flawless, you made it more interesting than it seems

The whole tournament was so good! The finals was just icing on the cake!

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!

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 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)

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

Alexey Pajitnov: Look at far my boy has come...

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!

agamescout has that infectious energy watching these wild games is one thing but the agamescout commentary changes the experience so much

I knew exactly what happened, but your commentary still had me on the edge of my seat lol.

This is one of the best damn videos I’ve ever watched the commentary was so infectiously hype and informative. Well done, truly.

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.

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...

Crazy finish. They both activated on the last match.

Great video, you're commentry and editing really helped showcases how epic this was! Well done to Tommy & Alex, amazing talent!

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!

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.

I never knew tetris matches are this heartpounding

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!

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!

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.

Never thought I'd get excited over a tetris match. Shit had me on the edge of my seat lmao

I am 100% invested in this content. Fantastic to watch, your passion for the game is so clear, your excitement when commentating is excellent!!

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!

I can't begin to put into words how brilliant/entertaining/exciting aGameScout is in every possible way.

The sportsmanship here is insanely wholesome..the immediate clapping 👏🏻

Great video, love the high shoutcaster type energy with the pausing breakdowns. Great presentation

This video was INSANELY well edited and commentated 8D thanks for putting this together and explaining the excitement 8D

Never thought i'd get this hype about a million year old game that i have played less than 5 times

Great job of conveying the excitement and achievement to someone who knows nothing about this scene 👍

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

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!

You’re actually the reason why NES Tetris is entertaining to watch, please make more content ❤

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.

These commentaries you make keep me feeling connected. What an absolutely historic game, and your recap was perfect.

you managed to make these tetris matches incredibly engaging, great 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

2:18 the fact that he could clear two lines at all on level 39 is amazing 😂

Brilliantly explained for a bystander to understand what was going on! Also realized that you were the one who put competitive Tetris videos on my feed - from Jonas to Joseph to the invention of the rolling technique. I was wondering how competitive tetris would deal with the rolling techniques letting players survive forever on the kill screen and now I know. Definitely a good idea because it now rewards risky plays again.

This is one of the most hyped videos I've ever watched🤣 You are so good at what you do

Only 7 months and now it’s at 157 😅

The play by play was just perfect. You could definitely be an e sports announcer

This level of play is INSANE. The evolution of the game since 2020 is just amazing. You do such a great job of breaking down this game, Scout! Thanks so much!!

I had literally no idea tetris had this level of play, lol, respect

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 have no knowlege about tetris but this damn video was a rollercoaster of emotions. I like it.

This is SUCH a good video, thanks for all your hard work!

Unbelievable how much this game has changed in the last 5 years

“He douses himself in Parmesan cheese” 😂😂😂😂

Epic games, and fantastic commentary - was hyped up and on the edge of my seat through that entire fourth game.

Bruh your commentary is so good. I was so invested!

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.

Man I wish Jonas was here to see this unbelievable play 😢

Very good commentating! Was actually excited watching Tetris which I never have before. Cheers mate

I LOVE your enthusiasm so much!!

15:53 lmao!! 🧀
