This is like watching Han Solo defeat Darth Vader. Alex's seat-of-pants style is an incredible and entertaining contrast to Eric's cool calculation. He took the big risks and won!
It's amazing to see them actually going for tetrises on 29, instead of only getting them if the pieces work out perfectly. It seems like if the skills improve just a little bit more, 29 play will looks basically like 19 play did before rolling.
The reaction times on this kids is just mind boggling. It went from what...level 30 to 146 in 4.5 years. I don't know if I have ever seen a sport or competition explode like that in my lifetime. How much higher can it go?
That game saving dig by Eric in game 3 was insane :) Really like watching Alex T play he reminds me of Dog with that exciting crash n burn or win playstyle.
A bang tetris is marginally faster than a boom tetris. The term boom tetris was coined more than a few years ago when players couldn't play as fast as now. Now that rolling has enabled consistent plus 20 hz piece movements, bang tetris has appeared more often in these latest matches.
I personally find it a bit jarring to hear an adjective used as a noun. It just doesn't sound right to me. As they said, that's essentially what the suffix "-ity" is for; it turns adjectives into nouns.
49:36 has the most amazing level 29 play I have ever seen. Alex may be one of the best players on killscreen and above.
GGs to both players!
Exactly
i had a bad controller
29:50 How is that even possible to survive? Amazing EricICX 🔥👏
Vandy you are the real goat of Tetris. All this suffering will be rewarded
Thank you. But I fear it will be rewarded with deeper intensity and newer forms of suffering.
Alex's 29 efficiency is insane
Man I'm loving Alex's style. Crazy, bombastic, lunatic, and frankly stupid, and yet it all works out 🤣
I’m not a lunatic bro what?
@@octomancer thanks man
29:21 candidate for best dig ever?

This video is worth watching just for the facial expressions on Alex's face

Light a candle for Jonas here 🕯️
WE GOT TO SEE THE CONTROLLER SPIKE FROM ALEXT LET'S GOOOOO!
Yooo let's go Alex! What a comeback!
20:33 what is Alex doing 😂
Both played very well but congrats to the winner. 🤜🤛
29:50 incredible move of Tetris Champ ..... oh my godness Eric !!! Amazing !!!😍

GG's, gentlemen. AlexT with some crazy aggressive play post lvl 29. Wow.
I understand that feeling, sometimes you have to teach your control a lesson. Happened to me in super mario bros all the time.
Holy macro! That was some good old pressure playing. The 39 cap seems to do the trick.
Alex lives by the motto, "Beatings will continue until moral improves." And it did!
Waiting for beautiful match
Yo this kid is a legend
29:53 after seeing this houdini called eric to find out the secret of this escape
What was that from Eric? 🤯
Good grief... What a dig.
I know surviving at the top is impressive, but that was a whole new level.
lets go alex!
(ericicx!)
lets go alex!
(ericicx!)
Alex T my favorite player now, hes hilarious 😂
I'm guessing the ICX refers to EVGA's graphics card line that had ICX technology?
Can't wait to see him vs dog!
Incredible match
Haha amazing celebration,
This match was wild. I couldn't stop laughing 🤣
Best match of this month so far
Just you wait
Alex "Violence is the answer sometimes" T
Great weekend
Imagine destroying a controller until it works
I don't think I wanna be standing next to Alex when he wins a game
Why is he playing it with his foot?
Been binging Tetris tournaments the last 2 weeks and have a question.. What’s the difference between a “bang Tetris” and a “boom Tetris”?
A bang tetris is marginally faster than a boom tetris. The term boom tetris was coined more than a few years ago when players couldn't play as fast as now. Now that rolling has enabled consistent plus 20 hz piece movements, bang tetris has appeared more often in these latest matches.
Different commentators have different ways of verbally punctuating a Tetris.
boomer take on the mental
ngl him saying that saying "my mental" is cringe is CRINGEE...
ngl you saying that me saying that saying “my mental” is cringe is CRINGEE is cringe
@@vandypants NGL you saying that me say that you saying that saying "my mental" is cringe is CRINGEE is cringe is cringe

@@vandypants as an old (about your age) guy with an English degree, don’t police how these kids talk to each other. It is straight up cringe.
Oh. Eric die voi alex T roi
