I'd be willing to bet the classic Tetris community wouldn't exist at all without Jonas. Every other name from the early days absolutely contributed, but had Jonas not been here, I really don't think it would have ever gained traction.
Either it never would've or it would've taken a lot longer then it did.. at the minimum he brought it into the forefront much sooner than it otherwise would've been... all tetris skills aside he was such a nice cool individual. They really don't make people like him.
ya know, considering the final piece BlueScuti needed to crash the game was a J piece, I'd like to think that it was Jonas reaching from beyond the grave to give him the game crash
It was such a shock to see the news of his passing. He really got me into competitive Tetris, and taught me how to play at a higher level. I’ll always appreciate what he did and who he was. A true legend. Truly the greatest of all time
We need to keep these types of videos up to show why Jonas is forever the GOAT of Classic Tetris. Already seeing younger members of the community disputing the fact that Jonas is the greatest to play the game. Not only for his championship dominance but most importantly his dedication to grow the community. Records get broken, new play styles are developed, and the talent continues to evolve at a shocking pace, but no player will ever have the impact on the game like Jonas did.
As a modern tetris player who has a lot of respect for much of the classic community, the level of accuracy and dedication put into this video is immaculate
actually so well made, its been so long since ive watched a video about the whole story and this made me cry and got chills so much. this was genuinely extremely well made congrats and it deserves to popoff on yt
Jesus I'm watching this at 01:30 in the morning, and someone's cutting onions. Just recently started following Tetris and I didn't know this story. He seems like a wonderful person.
CTWC needed a monster like Jonas to grow big. Imagine if there was a new champ every year. Nobody would know who the hell these people would be. They'd be forgettable. Having a seven-time champ like Jonas made Joseph's win that much better.
I'm heavily invested in the Modern Tetris scene, formerly playing in and now hosting tournaments for it. It is completely accurate to say that I would not be anywhere close to as invested in the game without Jonas' presence, introducing me to classic and modern tetris alike, always treating folks like me like family. Ever since his passing, anything I would do would be in his name, trying to push the scene in a positive direction. I'm so proud of the classic players for pushing the game and the competitive scene to such heights, and I can't wait to see where everything goes. LYMYMI, Jonas
Great video. His final tournament victory came over Eric, who later won the CTWC. As a player in my 30's, I like to joke that Jonas' last act was to prove that the younger generation is fallable. He was a class act, not elitest in the slightest.
Absolutely incredible, thank you so much. I would love to see more videos like these focusing on other players or maybe just the recent tetris scene in general, there's a lot that has happened recently. You made an amazing video, hoping to see more :)
Jonas is a legend of the game. Sure, many greats came after him and beat his records, but his dominance in his error was unmatched. Parallels could be made to Bobby Fischer in chess and Pete Sampras in tennis.
This showed up on my page. Last night I started watching Jonas first twitch streams from 2017. He is sorely missed. When they changed the trophy to a J in his honour was the best.
Good man with a good story. Deserves a lot of telling. LYMYMI Friend. If I wasn't not drinking due to surgery recovery I'd be raising a glass right now.
Excellent video!! Very respectful and educational insight on one of the kindest, funny, loving, and talented people I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with
I already teared up during the news coverage bits of Blu Scuties game crash. Jonas was such a loveable person (no offense Harry), I'm glad I got to know of him thanks to "Boom Tetris" Jeff and the youtube algorithm in 2016. Thanks for the video and good luck with your TH-cam channel!
yooooo eurofriendlies at 18:01 I'm famous ezpz Also damn this is a good video. Criminal it only has 100 views. Hopefully is gets big because you really told the story well.
Jonas would be floored if he saw how the game has evolved. Im sure he is looking down on us from above with pride and joy ❤ RIP Jonas, you were always my favorite player! ❤
33:31 of course I show up at the hecking Fall Guys portion. I find myself missing Jonas dearly all the time. Phenomenal guy and really singlehandedly made 2020 a lot better for me. An amazing player and an even better friend to everyone in the community. LYMYMI.
One thing I'd like to comment on, you've been regarding NES Tetris as the "original" version of the game, it is not. It is simply one of the most well-known version of the game.
Check out the Ectasy of Order Documentary: watch.ecstasyoforder.com/
Mate, you can't just tell people to watch the documentary, you gotta also tell them when you steal from it to make your own video.
I'd be willing to bet the classic Tetris community wouldn't exist at all without Jonas. Every other name from the early days absolutely contributed, but had Jonas not been here, I really don't think it would have ever gained traction.
First got interested in the 2018 Finals, seeing 7x World Champ in the thumbnail sold me on the video
Either it never would've or it would've taken a lot longer then it did.. at the minimum he brought it into the forefront much sooner than it otherwise would've been... all tetris skills aside he was such a nice cool individual. They really don't make people like him.
Would've definitely taken longer.
ya know, considering the final piece BlueScuti needed to crash the game was a J piece, I'd like to think that it was Jonas reaching from beyond the grave to give him the game crash
That never occurred to me that it was a J piece that was placed to trigger the score calc routine crash, damn you glitched colour schemes.
That's poetic
And the last piece that Jonas played in a tournament was also a J piece.
@@aaronqueen55 just wow
@@gloven2run689 you know what’s even more wow involving a J?
Jesus.
the J-piece in the crash...
IKR!
I WAS LITERALLY JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS TODAY ITS SO POETIC
Had no idea the J piece trophy was because of Jonas, thought people just wanted different pieces as trophies.That's so wholesome
It was such a shock to see the news of his passing. He really got me into competitive Tetris, and taught me how to play at a higher level. I’ll always appreciate what he did and who he was. A true legend. Truly the greatest of all time
I still can't believe he's gone. The good truly do die young.

the Michael Schumacher of NES Nintendo Tetris
Jonas was the GOAT, RIP to not only a great Tetris player, but also a great human being
As a modern tetris player who has a lot of respect for much of the classic community, the level of accuracy and dedication put into this video is immaculate
I'm classic player all the way. I would play modern, but it's too hard for me 😢
The final piece of the first game crash was a j piece…
R.I.P. king
The quality of this video is insane, I thought this was made by a huge tetris channel. I gotta share this.
same here, but with this level of qulity the algorithm will catch up
Jonas ❤ his stacking was really so ahead of his time
Damn wish Jonas could see how far Tetris has come in the last few years rip brother
actually so well made, its been so long since ive watched a video about the whole story and this made me cry and got chills so much. this was genuinely extremely well made congrats and it deserves to popoff on yt
agreed ^^^
everyone like and subscribe and make the video viral
Boalcucket
Jonas may be the GOAT of Tetris, but he also had 🔥 taste in music. He was always playing the coolest stuff in his Twitch stream.
Jesus I'm watching this at 01:30 in the morning, and someone's cutting onions. Just recently started following Tetris and I didn't know this story. He seems like a wonderful person.
Just saw this vid on one of the classic tetris discords, and holy shit, great quality, great accuracy, why does it have no views wtf
crazy to think the first tetris tournament happened before bluescuty was even born
Great video! TH-cam algorithm is really underrating this video.
A very touching tribute to Jonas, a really well put together video.
CTWC needed a monster like Jonas to grow big. Imagine if there was a new champ every year. Nobody would know who the hell these people would be. They'd be forgettable. Having a seven-time champ like Jonas made Joseph's win that much better.

LYMYMI, Jonas
Just seeing jonas’ name makes me happy/sad all at once. Miss that dude.
Great video. His final tournament victory came over Eric, who later won the CTWC. As a player in my 30's, I like to joke that Jonas' last act was to prove that the younger generation is fallable. He was a class act, not elitest in the slightest.
R.I.P Jonas…
This doc deserves more views imo. Very well put together. RIP Jonas
I miss Jonas and miss those early days.
Great job on the video. Crying all over again. Jonas and Heather are the greatest duo of all time.
Awesome video. LYMYMI.
Excellent video and tribute to the greatest Tetris player of all time.
He is truly missed.
Can hardly think of anyone more deserving of a tribute video like this. A true legend and inspiration, RIP
Thank you for a great video! R.I.P. Jonas...
Thank you for doing this story justice ❤
Absolutely incredible, thank you so much. I would love to see more videos like these focusing on other players or maybe just the recent tetris scene in general, there's a lot that has happened recently. You made an amazing video, hoping to see more :)
I find the Tetris scene so damn interesting, it’s evolution over the past few years has been insane to watch
Jonas is a legend of the game. Sure, many greats came after him and beat his records, but his dominance in his error was unmatched.
Parallels could be made to Bobby Fischer in chess and Pete Sampras in tennis.
I remember Jonas would hold fan matches in TETRIO that anyone could jump into, but I got cold feet and never participated. I'll always regret that.
No matter how many views this video ends up getting, it will never be enough! This was so great and heartfelt, great job capturing Jonas' character.
Love the Summoning Salt style video, even better with the Summoning Salt style music 👍🏽
This showed up on my page. Last night I started watching Jonas first twitch streams from 2017. He is sorely missed. When they changed the trophy to a J in his honour was the best.
No spotlights and headlines for fractal, but he got warm appraise from the community
Thank you, Frez. And thank you, Jonas
Good man with a good story. Deserves a lot of telling. LYMYMI Friend. If I wasn't not drinking due to surgery recovery I'd be raising a glass right now.
Excellent video!! Very respectful and educational insight on one of the kindest, funny, loving, and talented people I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with
4:11 "In newer games,"
*shows tgm1 gameplay* lol
imagine if they made a movie about a tetris player who goes back in time and blows everyone's mind crashing the game with their new found technique
I already teared up during the news coverage bits of Blu Scuties game crash. Jonas was such a loveable person (no offense Harry), I'm glad I got to know of him thanks to "Boom Tetris" Jeff and the youtube algorithm in 2016. Thanks for the video and good luck with your TH-cam channel!
RIP, GOAT. You're still amazing.
I love the way you say tetroNiMo lmao
Anyway good tribute to jonas and very emotionnal video, RIP legend
yooooo eurofriendlies at 18:01 I'm famous ezpz
Also damn this is a good video. Criminal it only has 100 views. Hopefully is gets big because you really told the story well.
I always called Jonas Keaton
Because he looks like Michael Keaton.
Jonas would be floored if he saw how the game has evolved. Im sure he is looking down on us from above with pride and joy ❤ RIP Jonas, you were always my favorite player! ❤

I find myself missing Jonas dearly all the time. Phenomenal guy and really singlehandedly made 2020 a lot better for me. An amazing player and an even better friend to everyone in the community. LYMYMI.
Blue Scuti, Fractal, Eric, Alex T, Aackerlund and, of course, Jonas are GOATED!
RIP Jonas
Great video!
This video was so good and super high quality!
This was amazing!! Great job on the video. Jonas was the greatest!!
What a great video and fitting tribute to the GOAT
One thing I'd like to comment on, you've been regarding NES Tetris as the "original" version of the game, it is not. It is simply one of the most well-known version of the game.
