Teenager beats Tetris game older than he is to become world champion [video]
They keep taking the entire event down (~7 hours of competition) on the CTCW YouTube page, but luckily someone thought ahead and recorded the Semi-Finals.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qHMLwgE4ZG8" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=qHMLwgE4ZG8</a><p>I&#x27;ve been following competitive Tetris for the past 2 years now. It slid into my YT feed and I&#x27;ve been hooked.<p>I got to watch the stream live!<p>Jonas is the man! He&#x27;s won it multiple times and plays a beautiful game. I thought he had the kid, Joseph, for a moment with a +100k lead. But, as he topped out Joseph was able to keep his composure. I was beautiful to watch and I gave him a standing ovation (from my living room).<p>The cool thing is, the kid worked hard at the game for about a year before joining the competition. He studied videos on YouTube and just became obsessed with the game. He&#x27;s the next wave (which the Tetris community had been discussing for the past few years), and its cool to see that this game is not dead yet. Its virtual chess.<p>The Tetris community is a good one. Its seems as if everyone backs everyone. There are no egos, just humble-pie Tetris. Jonas was a class act at the end congratulating the kid.<p>If you have a chance, please watch the video. You&#x27;ll be amazed with the skill&#x2F;tactics involved in this game.<p><i>edit</i>
Here&#x27;s the winning match! Just watched it again. It give me goosebumps!
