At least you did better than the seven time champ, not getting sweeped! you have proven that you have great potential, i think i heard you only picked the game up for a year and look where you are! I cant wait to see you next year, and thanks for the show!
I think at this point Joseph is my favourite player to watch, he does crazy things and still manages to respond to commentators, making it incredibly fun
Joseph has been able to look at his opponents screen so frequently, and able to interact with the commentators, he may as well be part of the audience, just with a super front seat row.
@@netcrns and he has the right to! if he has the skills to play tetris to a professional level, pay attention to the commentators AND do some risky plays just for the viewers' sake, that's pretty damn impressive
Absolutely amazing how Joseph is practically spectating DanQZ while playing in the 3rd game, he's enjoying all the drama on the other screen while still winning pulling 75% tetris rate. what a beast...
I first wondered why the videos are so long, but it is just to prevent spoilers.(in a 2-0 when there is only 1 minute left, it isn't hard to guess who will win)
I was wondering the same, thanks for the answer to that. Actually a very good thing cause i often accidently look at how much time there is left and then getting spoiled.
It's a good start for getting rid of spoilers. Obviously commenting on what's happening on the other stage and this way spoiling upcoming matches is even worse. So cutting those commentaries or just don't make them in the first place would be an even better method of spoiler avoidance.
If Joseph ever loses in this, it's because he listens to the commentary in the background & responds to it too much. Granted he does make watching this more interesting for spectators, it's apparent he's not 100% zoned in on his game. That said, it's also a testament how good he really is that he is performing at such a high level with something like 90% focus.
legit this year joseph has been as fun and joyful to watch as green tea and that's saying something. now that he has the confidence he really lets his personality peak through
@@Jack_80 No one can play 100% perfect every game. But on the big picture, he is by far the best. But like i said, he is the only one that can play the Kill Screen and he have the World Record of reaching Level 33. All the other players, once they reach Level 29, they simple stop playing, and that includes Green Tea.
Their match in the Round of 8 was at the same level as any finals in the past. Perhaps they should go to dual elimination and add a losers bracket as well to let us see more games from the amazing players that get knocked out in their first match. Importantly the seeding does not seem to reflect the player skill as well as it had in the past with the bracket filling out with all the new top level players.
Getting to be in the room, live, was PRICELESS! The energy of watching these matches, with people is so different than watching on TH-cam! 👌🏽 11/10 would recommend haha
It's unfortunate how early Jonas went out because new viewers won't get to witness how good he really is. I believe the top four in the world are Joseph, Koryan, Jonas, and Green Tea. Aside from Jonas going out early this year, I haven't seen anyone defeat any of those four players apart from each other since 2017 when a jetlagged Koryan lost to Alex Kerr.
I definitely agree here. Nothing against DanQZ but there were definitely a few players better than him that didn't make it as far in the tournament this year. Green Tea is my favorite of all to watch, but I was also really impressed with Josh this year and Terry. Looking forward to seeing Koryon and Batfoy
It's unreal how Joseph can play Tetris while literally spectating his opponent's game as well: 17:45 Gives the "alright good set-up" head nod, followed by the immediate "oof" face once Dan couldn't quite profit from it. What a nutty player.
Considering the match between greentea and joseph compared to this match here, greentea performed much better without hyper tapping. Seeding and single elimination brackets decide who is the best, but not who is the second best.
@@BucketCapacity Not necessarily, BubbleRhapsody invented a new technique that mitigates that. If you use a modern controller and adjust the sensitivity you can register button presses by vibrating
I feel like one of Joseph’s most charming attributes is that he’s able to interact with the commentators and audience in a way while he’s in the middle of a game. Really adds to his character, and I think it’s one of the reasons (along with him being an extraordinary player at such a young age) that so many people root for him
Joseph is such a fascinating player to watch. The way he's able to glance at the upcoming piece and make last-minute adjustments with the current piece to create an optimal field is truly next-level. I was a little sad when Joseph ended Jonas's domination of the world championship a few years ago because Jonas was my favorite player, but Joseph has really won me over. An incredible competitor. Also, imagine being so far above everyone else in skill level that you can afford to style on your opponents like Joseph does with that dirty Tetris at 23:56, or when he deliberately burns a line suboptimally at 9:50-9:56 just on the off-chance that he'll get a long bar two pieces later for a field-clearing Tetris. Wild stuff.
Tetris is the perfect metaphor of life You make mistakes, hate yourself but have to deal with it and fix it And no matter how good you are, it can always manage to screw you up.
I really wish the players were mic'd up. I'd like to know what DANQZ said that made everyone laugh when the Commentator mentioned the 130k lead for JOSEPH.
I said it already shortly after 2018 tournament: Joseph will mark a new era - with his young age (quicker reaction times) and his hypertapping-technique and of course his talent, he will dominate the next years. I don't see anyone better than him. The only one who can defeat him is he, himself - when he goes too casual and over-confidenced into a match (like game 3 vs Dan).
I wonder if the sponsors paid for 15 minutes of screen time on their videos but didn't specify when so they just decided to add 15 mins of the sponsors logos at the end. The odd part is I actually stared at them for almost a minute before I decided to fast forward LOL.
The black screen at the end is to avoid spoilers. For example, if you saw that someone was up 2-0 and there were only 5 minutes left, you would know that they won the next game. The extra time prevents this from happening.
I think koryan is better with the silence, and in the comfort of his home as he plays much better online vs IRL, either way he is a top tier player, and has great potential to be champion one day.
It astounds me how Joseph is able to interact with the commentators, peek at his opponent's screen, and play like that at the same time. Like, hotdamn.
They do right-sided wells because the pieces drop with a right side advantage. There are 10 columns on the play field, the piece cannot drop right in the middle, so the pieces generally favor dropping to the right. When an 'S' piece drops, for example, there are four columns to the left, where there are only three to the right.
See tho, seems ppl think it's all about Joseph's Hypertapping ability that makes him so good, but it's not. It's his ability to know just where to place pieces when the play field gets super dangerous. Even at high levels when he's close to losing it, he always keeps his composure and is able to get himself out of seemingly insurmountable situations. He's simply fantastic at that and that's what makes him so good, not necessarily great Hypertapping ability. Not to mention just his just masterful piece placement ability in general. He's not only the fastest player but also the smartest that I've seen thus far. Of course being a beast ass Hypertapper helps, but it's not why he's world class.
With how fast new players are emerging as top tier players, and as this event brings in more competitors then we may get many more new champions instead of a repeat Jonas
18:03 Joseph keeped on peeping at Danqz’s screen yet managed to place those bricks to where he wanted them at the same time. He’s the Usain Bolt in Tetris!!!
I just like how you got to see Joseph's live reaction to DanQZ hypertapping his way out, for me in a way it was like seeing a mentor seeing a student succeed
Man I wish I could watch this live! :(
You cant both watch and play, choose one.
What do you mean? looked like you were watching Danz screen half the time, and playing the other, seems to me like you got front row seats!
Well, i for one wish i could have watched the audience live from your point of view. :D
Isn't that why you looked up and behind you at one point in this match? To catch yourself on the big screen?
keep going to the champ 2019 my idol .... !!! Just go to beat seven times champ of Jonas ! You can make it !
I kinda faceplanted two games in this match, but it's not every day you play the world champ! It was great playing you, Joseph, you deserved this win!
Well done dude! I envy your skills.
At least you did better than the seven time champ, not getting sweeped! you have proven that you have great potential, i think i heard you only picked the game up for a year and look where you are! I cant wait to see you next year, and thanks for the show!
See you in a future CTM! Hope to see you against Final Boss!
@DanQZ what did you say at 19:38?
You got a brilliant future ahead of you, Dan! I'm pretty sure we are all waiting to see so much more from you.
I think at this point Joseph is my favourite player to watch, he does crazy things and still manages to respond to commentators, making it incredibly fun
Now that Joseph plays with confidence, it's almost unbeatable. With Green Tea was the advanced finals I think
Diego Saint Esteban the confidence is key. Next year when Dan has calmed the nerves he’s going to break out with something special. Just watch
Diego - I was about to make almost the exact same comment!
Loving Joseph's confidence and good sportsmanship, he was so nervous last year so its good to see him be confident and enjoying the camera
14:30 Joseph big brain
Was wondering if anyone else noticed since the commentators didnt :D
Joseph has been able to look at his opponents screen so frequently, and able to interact with the commentators, he may as well be part of the audience, just with a super front seat row.
Last year: (In tears) I came here to qualify and now I got to beat all those legends

You're to insecure.
@@Looooren And Tetris has never been so much fun to watch!
@@netcrns Ah... here come the haters. (Familiarity breeds contempt).
80% of Joseph's losses happen because he peeks at the opponent.
Mauri Sombowadile what no
That or him overestimating his hypertapping ability. He have a lot of losses where he scored less than 300k because he built too high
Joseph seems much more chill when playing now haha
Ikr! Last year he was so focused and too intense but now he's more relax and unstoppable.
He's streaming more I guess?
It looks like his decisions are much better now that he's relaxing and enjoying himself a little more, rather than trying to be laser focused
I feel like DanQZ has some serious potential, give him another year to practice and he might just take it next year.
He's only played for a year anyways to make top 4 is incredible
@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN "Mark my word" some popular opinion you got there

That moment when the commentator makes an "Over the Top" reference and then you realize both contestants wheren't even born when that movie came out.

I love the way Dan holds the pad. Taking that hyper tapping to the next level
4 hypertappers in the finals, and people still question if its the future. It's the now
3,Batfoy isnt but non hyper tappers will still be able to hang anyways, even if knowone can probly beat Joseph and Koryan from here on out.
Considering the match between greentea and joseph compared to this match here, greentea performed much better without hyper tapping. Seeding and single elimination brackets decide who is the best, but not who is the second best.
