    I wanted to play aggressive since I thought I would get a bar very quickly since it’s early. Pretty funny I lost a game like that, great video!
  • @HerraHissi
    Getting game over by a long waited line piece is a certified Tetris God moment.
  • @engiopdf8745
    This is why modern games also introduced the piece bag. That way there's no ridiculous piece droughts like what can happen in the fully-random NES Tetris.
  • @ebaymagot
    Editing the possible moves was great. It really illustrated what you were describing.
  • @KempPlays
    After he loses, while the commentator is talking, his opponent gets 6 (SIX!) line pieces. The game just wants to watch the world burn.
  • @Navegantetom
    >gets literally zero points in a final game >wins anyway absolute chad
  • This reminds me of Jon Bois’s search for the saddest punt of all time, and how most of the most depressing and unnecessary punts were committed by teams that went on to win that game
  • @WipZedKay
    I think this showcases quite well why modern Tetris games uses 7 or 14 buckets instead of just preventing repeat pieces back to back.
  • @calebos268
    Alex T is such a nice guy giving his opponent a 1 game handicap in the finals
  • @LipinArt
    That's basically real-life version of that Tetris God sketch.
  • @Slateproc
    That drought is so beyond insane it's almost unbelievable
  • @McFatson
    There's something unbelievably Chad about getting a goose egg and then winning the tournament anyway
  • @LetsChat
    Alex T now has the lowest and highest point record in Tetris. Fun facts!
  • As a lazy data analyst I commend your dedication to collecting this data and providing valuable commentary. You have my respect good sir.
  • @clarkkent1521
    Dammit. This was probably the only record I could achieve if I entered a tournament.
  • @TJ_ONLY
    YouTube: "You will like old videos about competitive Tetris now." Me: "Yes. Ok. I understand."
  • @slidenaway
    lolol this was awesome. And despite thorough analysis of a terrible game, which could come off as mean-spirited -- it absolutely didn't. You balanced the good with the bad really well, as I would expect! Plus I'm sure Alex really doesn't give a shit either way lol Interested in the new channel!! I'm subbing right now :)
  • @Max_Jacoby
    I remember a funny picture where the line from Tetris is chilling under the palm and drinking juice. That would be a perfect depiction of this game.
  • @jtiza
    I'm a casual Tetris fan and have no interest in Classic, but I ADORE the way you cover this game and its competitive scene. You make me care so much about these players and competitions, and I love the breakdowns of strategy, possible moves, and the evolution of the scene. Bravo!
