It's not just a game. It's a history. It's an evolution. Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters
A Game Without A Champion
I believe that Tetris may well be the first virtual sport.
We always have wondered why the biggest game in the world didn't have a champion.
It's the only video game that can be described as perfect, right. Because how would you improve it?
It's not just a game. It's a history. It's an evolution.
The Masters Who Have Trained For A Lifetime
I've been playing Tetris for like 20 years.
I don't even wanna know how many hours I've played Tetris.
I play it like non-stop.
The one trick to training Tetris is to be always almost dead.
I daydream during the day. I'll sit and play Tetris and I have Tetris dreams at night.
That the mind kind of has like a buffering, kind of RAM situation.
Yeah, it's almost to a degree you're programming yourself to do it.
Things are changing. It's really fluid. And it just is always like morphing into a new thing that you're just constantly reacting to.
You have to think four, five steps ahead in one second.
It's moving faster than onlookers can actually perceive the game. These guys are thinking it.
The Return Of A Legend
I knew Thor had been to this level that was just like a myth.
He was the greatest Tetris player in the world 20 years ago. He beat over a million kids.
Well, from what I've heard Thor has got the magic thumb.
What would happen if you and Thor went face to face?
I know that already people are doubting him.
I feel almost annoyed, that Thor hasn't done anything in the way of proving what he's done.
Unless he's like a finger tapping God.
