001[Music] Thank you. [Music] Welcome to week two of IHSN regular season. My name is Lane and today at the Bluffton Tig Cyber Tigers will be facing off against players from 24 other schools totaling 39 players throughout Indiana in the game Tetria. This is a Swiss style bracket. Players will attempt to win best five in one v one matches. >> Oh, yes. And I believe our matches are already underway. I know there's All right. Yeah, it's looking like up first, we are going to a returning member of the Tetris squad, a senior this year. Coming from last year, we have EMTT aka Lego Master. >> It's a bit loud. I told you I would be loud. That's my thing. I yell people's names. That's my thing. Oh, it looks like we're not going to the matches.
002We're just doing the character introductions. Not character. We are going to the matches. Oh my goodness. >> Yes. >> Oh, Nightwalk. Um, that is one of our That name is so familiar. I can't remember if it's one of our players though. Nightwalk. >> It's Clay. >> It is Clay. Yes. It's so weird because his his name is listed as something else. >> Really? >> Yes. >> Is it Firestorm? >> Yeah, it's listed as Firestorm. But yes, we have Clay on the right side of your screen. We have EMTT on your left. We already have a Cyber Tiger versus Cyber Tiger matchup here in this week. This is round one of, I believe, three. Yes. >> Yeah. three in the day if the format hasn't changed. So, both players about on We do have Nightwalk going
003up a little bit higher, but that's for the that's for those combos sending a good amount of garbage toward EMTT. >> And what is garbage? >> Garbage are those gray blocks that you see on the bottom of the player screens. When someone clears enough lines, that will send garbage to the other player's board, which is essentially the key component of how they turn Tetris, a single player game, into a multiplayer battle game. >> Ah, I see. >> Mhm. The one thing stopping this from just being a mere puzzle game, it's now very serious. >> It's very, >> I assume. I don't know how serious the competitive Tetris community gets. I just know they're really good. >> Any community can be competitive if if you if you try hard enough. >> Yeah, like children's party games.
004And that's another round for Clay. >> Very nice. Very nice. We'll see if Lego Master can turn this around, though. >> Remember, this is best three out of five matchups. So, Clay is one round away from closing out a round one victory over EMTT here. >> I'm sure Lego Master can pull it through. Meanwhile, off offscreen, the returning state champion Hunter has won his first match. Very nice. >> I mean, that's to be expected. >> Yes. Oh, and while I was explaining that, a big attack coming through from Clay. That is going to be a three for Firestorm, aka Nightwalk, aka Clay, whatever you want to call him. He won. >> Very nice. Very nice. All right. How many more matchups? I don't believe. Yeah, I guess those matches went pretty fast. Um, we didn't
005get the opportunity, so I think we are going to do going to do name introductions. >> Oh, yes. >> Yes. Here we go. I've already I've already done this before, but we're going to do it again. We're going to start from the top. First of all, the returning senior, the Cyber Tiger veteran. First up on the roster, EMTT aka Lego Master. And yes, doing his little wave. Look at him. Up next, also a returning senior to the Cyber Tiger squad, Owen aka O Sheets. Next up, a very strong competitor, the fourth place finisher of last year, looking to claw his way back to the championship for a chance at redemption. Barollo aka X Dark Ninja. Next up on the squad, another very strong contender, the third place finisher at state last year. Looking as strong
006as ever, Jordan aka Stricksie. >> I'm sure he'll be able to place higher this year. >> Yes. Up next, the man you all know. He is returning. The Indiana State champion from last year as a freshman, now a sophomore. Will he do it again? The legend, the second generation talent, Hunter, aka Lazy Soul 7. >> I'm sure he'll be able to take the state championship again. >> Oh yeah. And up next, he had a great run last year, only improved over the summer. already 1 0 in this week in competition. Clay aka Firestorm also aka Nightwalk. >> I'm sure he'll be able to continue beating all these people. >> Oh yes. And now up last the newcomer to the squad showing great potential in the preeason. We're going to see what he does in the
007league tonight. The newcomer, Kyle, aka Noise. >> All right. >> Very good. >> Very nice. >> My stomach hurts. >> You should probably tone it down a little bit if your stomach hurts. >> No, I mean, now I can cuz I'm not doing the names. That's the whole thing where I get loud. Anyway, yes. Welcome back to the vapor wave dimension. It's been a good first round. My shirt is glitching. It looks very cool. >> My shirt is not. >> And uh is that just a friendly match on Owen's side? >> No, that's the real thing. >> Oh, we're already going into round two. >> Very nice. Round two. >> Round one. Round one. >> Oh, he just uh All right, >> he was just a bit late. All right, we are still in round
008one. This is Owen on the left side of your screen going up against from a different school, Brickman on the right. Root for the left. That is your cyber tiger. Let's see. Definitely way lower on the screen right now is Owen. >> Owen's doing fantastic. Sending a bunch of garbage over to his enemy. >> Oh yeah. Sending a little bit of extra garbage to clench that round. >> Starting off strong with already one win. >> Yes. One. He's going to need two more to close this out before his opponent can get another three. I believe in him to destroy to uh >> destroy him. >> Yes, >> I'm very good at English. >> Oh, yeah. >> You know, we're we're all very good at English. I once heard that the average American can speak 0.5
009of a language. It's very cool. Very fun fact. Another fun fact, because I am blue J, I recently discovered that a scientist discovered a Green J Blue J hybrid, and they're going to name it the Grrew J. And I love that. >> Big developments for the Blue J community. Yes, >> the Grrew J. >> The Yeah, the Grrew J. >> The green and blue J hybrid. Grrew J. >> I'm sure he'll steal the moon one day. >> Yeah, that that's exactly my thoughts. Yeah. Anyway, enough talking about birds. You guys don't like that. You like Tetris and Owen. >> And Owen is doing fantastic keeping it low and sending a bunch of garbage over to his opponent. >> Yes, this would be a pretty good opportunity. He doesn't have u that many routes right now
010to uh get a big match. He's mostly doing a lot of singles to just to survive and stay lower on his side of the board. >> And that's still good. >> Mhm. to recap. >> Unlike his opponent who is very struggling, >> it is a rough time. Still, anything can happen. >> The match is not over. >> It is anyone's game. >> Quick recap midmatch on how round one has been going. Jordan and Barlo both won their round one matches offscreen. Hunter won his, as you have already been told. And as you saw, Clay defeated EMTT. >> And Owen's match. is going to get his second win here. >> It's looking like it. Yep, that is round two. He's going to need one more. It is match point. Owen on the verge of starting week
011two off strong. >> I'm sure he's going to sweep him. >> Let's see if he can pull it off. He's getting a couple of singles. Singles do not send any garbage until you get a I believe a two combo. They're usually going to be the weakest thing. They're usually just for getting yourself into a better position for something like a quad or a T- spin, which I'm sure we will see come out once we see someone like Hunter, Bartolo, or Jordan play. >> Yeah, but he is doing very good. His opponent like keeps on racking them up and hasn't been able to send much carbage over as he intended. >> Yes, this has mostly been a battle of endurance less than garbage and Owen has been winning. >> Yes. Oh, there's a nice there's a
012nice combo there. >> Four singles. >> Owen has cleared his entire board. >> Yes, just about. >> Solid combo. >> Yes. And Owen sent a little bit of garbage over to his opponent, which he is struggling to clear. >> It's going to be a good position for Owen. He's building up. >> Oh yeah, he's building. He's building up >> something. >> Here we go. Nice combo. Going to send over. Yeah. Sending a bunch over some garbage. >> A little bit of garbage. Can't hurt anyone other than the person that's intended to hurt. >> Two-piece combo. Not going to send any garbage over. >> Yes. As usual, mostly just a >> got sent over some garbage, but I'm sure he'll be able to clear it out. >> Yeah. Double. That's going to send over one. >>
013Owen is just clearing that out. >> Yeah, he is sending more garbage. He is staying lower on his side of the board. And there's a quad right there. >> There we go. And Owen has cleared his garbage and won his match >> with a decisive quad. That is going to be Owen getting a victory in his round one. And that concludes the round. We are going to move on to round two uh in a short period of time. So that is uh that is all but one Cyber Tiger getting a victory in round one because you know they had to they had to nerf us getting a Cyber Tiger Cy Cyber Tiger match. You know >> you know >> they had to we would be too strong. >> Yeah, very good. Um while we have
014some downtime we could >> yeah we do have some down down time and we do thank huge shout out to our local internet providers Adam wells internet telecom and TV they are directly responsible for our esports player to be able to compete because incredibly fast reliable fiber internet server if you're in the market for internet TV or a phone service check out adamwell.com and that's adamswwell adamwwells.com Yeah.

We'll be back for round two in a moment. >> Yes. >> Uh, peace out until then. We'll be right back. [Music] Heat. Hey, Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Hello. Hello everyone. We are back. We have Jordan on the left and Hunter, the former state champion, defending on the right with that round one victory. I believe this is the how our round two starts. >> Yes. Yes, this big Cyber Tiger v Cyber Tiger cannon event matchup between two. >> They just keep they
016just keep nerfing us putting against our own players. >> I know, >> but I'm sure everyone's okay with it and no one's going to have hard feelings. >> This is a very big matchup. As you can see from coming from Jordan's side, those crazy T- spins that deal the most damage in the game where you take the T-shaped block and you spin it into a T-shaped hole >> and And you can see how fast these highle matches can tend to go if it's just first to three. We have Hunter up 20 already setting up a T- spin, setting up another one and another one. >> If they are very fast, if I was going that fast, I would make so many mistakes, but they managed to do it so perfectly. >> They're all They're both
017going so fast that they're just canceling each other's moves out despite how damaging they all are. >> Yes, but they are getting their fair share of garbage that they need to take out. True, true. >> We are lagging though, so it might take a little bit for us to actually see the matches going on. >> Mhm. >> Let's go to the other other event. >> We're going to go to a different event. The black. >> Oh, look at that. They're pitting more Cyber Tigers against each other. >> It's just It's just heartbreaking to see. Well, we have I think that's that looks a little inverted. We have Barlo on the left going up two to one and we have Clay on the right. >> It's anyone's game, but Barlo does need just one more point
018to win. >> Yeah, Barlo needs one more on the left. Clay needs two in a row. >> I'm sure he can pull it off if he tries hard enough. >> Oh, there we go. Now it's Clay on the left. Barollo on the right. >> The camera is now in the correct spot. >> They just keep switching it up on us. >> Tin's set up for Barlo. Going to get one right there. >> They are getting faster. I see >> they're looking relatively even. That's looking like a quad for Clay. Yep. >> Barlo is sending over a bunch of garbage, but he's But Clay is able to clear it out. >> They're both doing very well clearing their respective garbage. That's advantage for Clay. Oh, but it's very quickly countered. >> Ooh, yes. They're going as
019fast as possible clearing that garbage. Oh, there we go. Yep, Barto a bit high up on the screen, but that can change in an instant as we have seen. >> Ooh, it's tied up. It's anyone's game here. We are going to a game five to decide who wins this and we'll pick up another victory for their week two run. >> No matter who wins or loses, that is still a point for bluff then. >> Mhm. But you know there there's no there's no school teams in Tetris. It's every man, woman, whatever you identify as for themselves. >> Really? I had no I had no idea. Mhm. There can only be one state champion. >> Yes. >> Will it be one of these two players that we're seeing on the screen? >> I'm sure they'll be
020able to do it. >> Rotolo rather high up on the screen. He gets a quad though. >> Evening up the playing field a bit. Another quad and a triple >> in a combo >> and sending Oliver more garbage. That is going to be >> that is going to be >> Marlo gonna get a close victory to put him 200 on the week. Very nice. >> Yes, just sliding in there with the victory. And here we have EMTT. He's doing fantastic already have having two points. >> Yes, EMTT on the left side of your screen about to close out a victory for himself. It was unfair how he had gotten another one of his teammates. He had to go easy on them. >> Yes, that's just enough garbage right there. Sent over. EMTT is going to
021take that. >> Let's go. >> Just sweeps them. Not giving him a single point. And here we have Owen. >> Oh, yes. Owen up against another uh different school player. He's already up 10. Meanwhile, to recap, offscreen, Hunter has won his match and Jordan has also taken one round. very proud of him. >> Oh, wait. I believe that was a another cyber tiger vy cy cy cy cy cy cy cy cy cy cert match. >> Yes, it was Hunter winning 31 over fellow cyber tiger Jordan. >> We're just too good. They have to put against we have to put that to put us against each other. >> Yes. You got to think even if even if that's a even if that's a round loss, Jordan did take one round off of the reigning defending state
022champion. That's got to be a conf. >> Yeah, that is very good of him. >> Yes. the potential flowing through the screen even though we didn't get to see that matchup live. Meanwhile, right now, Owen and Disassociation route for the left. That is Owen. That is your cyber tiger competing. >> Sending over a bunch of garbage over while he has like none at all. >> Mhm. I love it. I just love it when technology works as intended. Don't you? >> If only. >> All right. Uh, disassociation. He's coming up on a line block. >> He is desperately needing that line block. And here it comes down >> and he clears out some garbage for himself. >> Yeah, that is good garbage playing field a bit. >> Well, Owen is racking up with his combos. >>
023Mhm. The signature single combos from Owen. Very resilient play style. very longlasting. >> Yes. >> His board is a bit messier. >> Yes, he is very messy with disassociation. Living up to his name. >> Wow. Okay. >> What? >> I mean, that was a good line, but >> I didn't mean to be that mean. >> It's okay. >> Watching games bring out the worst in me. They they bring out the worst in all of us. Average sports fan, you know. >> But Owen is doing very good keeping his board in order. And oh >> oh, >> the association putting all of his points, all of his blocks in one area. Not a very good tactic. >> A bit of an error made. That is going to give Owen a round two. Owen is up 2.
024He just needs one more round before disassociation can get three on him. >> And Bart Bart Bart, I don't know what I'm saying. >> Well, anyway. >> Anyways, ignore my stuttering. >> It's all good. It's all good. >> Owen is doing fantastic keeping all of his stuff in order while Dissociation is struggling to make that decision. still with his resilient play style, just getting the singles, just making sure he's staying alive. >> Yes, it is a game of endurance and and Owen is doing fantastic with it. >> At least that's what Owen makes it into. I guess that's a style some would call unorthodox if they're more used to the fast-paced gameplay that you usually see when you watch like Hunter or Jordan or Barlo. >> But slow pace is doing fantastic for him. >>
025It has been working. He's on track to be a 20 on the week >> if he can close out Dissociation. >> He's just sweeping the board right now. If he can beat Dissociation once again, >> then he's going to be set off. Very good. >> Mhm. Disassociation a little bit higher up on the board. Garbage looking to even that out. >> Yes. Owen with his single combos looking to get into a better position. Kind of struggling to find that opportunity to open up his that part of the board. >> There it is. He's >> Yeah, this association is struggling to clear the garbage and just piling and piling it on. >> Owens opened up his board. If you can get a line piece, >> if he can get >> Oh, but he's going to close
026that gap up again. >> That's all right. He really prefers the single match play style. >> The sea ocean's board is going not so great, but I'm sure he'll be able to clear up some stuff. >> As long as it's not like last time he doesn't put all his bricks in one area, he'll he'll do be doing fantastic. >> His board is red, which means it's time to put him to bed. >> Can Owen >> He might just have to last a little bit longer. Yep, there he did. Owen winning, sweeping the board again. >> Owen's endurance play style puts him 200 on the week. >> Is he going to get that 3 0? >> I'm sure he can do it. >> Definitely possible. We We've already seen he's been doing it. >> Yes. >>
027Well, that looks like the conclusion of round two. Stay tuned though as round three, the final round of the night will be coming up shortly. We'll see you then. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Okay. >> Oh, hey. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Yeah. Yeah. I [Music] don't know. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Heat. Heat. [Music] Hey. Hey. Hey. [Music] I don't know. [Music] Here we go. We are back, ladies and gentlemen. Round three, the final round of tonight. And we are starting off hot with Cyber Tiger v Cyber Tiger. We have Barlo on the left and Jordan on the right. >> I'm sure they would do fantastic fantastic around each other by against each other. >> Yeah, they're they're going to put on a show. They're going to put on a show.
028Barolla getting a bit high on the board. >> Oh, but he's immediately bringing it down. >> Not many options here for Jordan. >> Yeah, >> he's just slow dropping. I think he knows it's it. Yeah. >> Yeah. Ooh, with all the garbage on his screen. >> Mhm. Let's see. Currently in this round, Barlo has taken two victories and Jordan has taken one victory, one loss. This is for Bartolo's 3 0 on the week. >> Is expected to be a Bartolo because he did get fourth last year in the championships. >> Yes, very strong competitor. Oh, >> had a bit too big of a tower there in the center. Led to an early cap out. Is this a first to two? Why is it set to that? >> I'm guessing that's just an error and they're
029going to play it out until someone reaches three wins. Let's just hope they get the settings wrong. >> I I think they did. I I assume they'll just gentleman's to keep going. >> Yeah. This is not This is not the tiebreaker. This is not the final round. I mean, it is a tiebreaker, but not in the way that, you know, it's the it's the end. >> Yeah. Let's just hope it's an error and they don't have to like manually put in another round. >> Yeah. But I'm sure it's an honest mistake if they did get it wrong. >> Tiny matches from Bartolo >> gathering up on Jordan's side there. Relatively even. >> Is just has so much garbage on his screen, but he is slowly working it down and sending some back. >> T-pin there
030for Jordan. >> There's a quad into two singles. >> What is a T-pin? A T- spin is when you make a T-shaped hole and you take the purple T-shaped block and you spin it. And if it's if it clears two lines, it's worth as much as a quad. And the most damaging move in the game, I believe, other than an all clear would be a T- spin that clears three blocks. >> Really? >> Yes. So, they're very very optimal. >> Yes. I I can see why. And that is Bartolo for another one for Bartolo. Yes, that's a Oh, wait. Oh, wait. No, it's it's the it's the Okay. Yeah, it's two to one. It's two to one. They gota they gota >> they made a mistake with it. >> In the meantime. >> All right.
031So, yeah. >> Yeah. In the meantime, while they uh get that all sorted out, we have a match of endurance with Emit and Owen. >> Yes. Currently, we have uh we have EMTT on the right side of the screen, Owen on the left. It's looking like EMTT is up 1 at the moment. Yes, they have barely sent any garbage over to each other. They are just racking up their things. And Owen is just just endurance. >> Yes. For fun, if you if you want, you can see in the about bottom leftish corner of the screen, there's a timer slowly uh going up. That is how long the current round has lasted. So, this has been so far 40 seconds. Start placing your >> a bunch of garbage that uh EMTT sent over. >> Yeah. If
032you're if you're around your family watching this or something, start placing like start placing like bets or something. How long do you think this match is going to go? Over overunder on threeminute round. >> Ooh, big garbage send from Emit. >> The under the under believers, they might be eating good tonight. >> Ooh, but Owen just came back from that. >> Owen very fast. very close to capping out for EMTT but he is going to live that attack. >> Yes, I and EMTT though is struggling to work down his items that he has. >> Yes, very very big struggle here. >> Very sad. Oh no, he is >> they are staying away. >> They are just doing it thing a test of endurance. >> They are both high up. That's a that's a bad square
033block placement there for Owen. kind of unfortunate. >> Yes. And Emit. >> That's Emit taking round two. >> Oh, yes. Match point for EMTT. >> Yeah. Meanwhile, another Siren Tiger who's up 200 on his opponent. The newcomer Kyle >> offscreen. Offscreen. He won his round one, lost round two. This is to go overall positive on >> I'm sure he'll do he I'm pretty sure he'll end up positive. He is doing fantastic this round. And with just one more win, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to sweep. >> Yeah, one more round win. That will be a 3 0. It will be a good week two for the newcomer if he can close out Nate here from a different school. >> We rarely get any different school. It's just all against each other. It seems like
034>> we get so many. It makes me wonder how many just how many of us proportionately are in the league. >> We're just too good at the like have to balance us out. I guess rough life being the the greatest of all time, you know, we're we're just so good. No one no one we definitely didn't almost lose state last year. >> Suffering from success. >> Mhm. >> Meanwhile, someone who's not suffering from success right now, that's Kyle. >> Yes, he is doing fantastic. >> Just one more probably like a double. >> He's saving that blue piece. If he can get another blue piece, he's going to send over a bunch of garbage. Boo. But he messes it up. But that's fine. He has another one invitation. >> Yes, that is a bunch of garbage
035on his enemy side. >> And that is game for Kyle >> right there. The new Gummer. The newcomer going to take it. >> He is ending out his matches with a positive. And Emit, >> it appears that Emit is too. >> Yes. Unless Unless Owen can come back, which there is always a way. The Lego master is very close to closing off here. >> And he closes it off. >> Nice three round. >> Yes. >> Image is sweeped. Completely different from his first match round. >> Very. >> And as you can see, I got promoted. I have my own name now. >> He has a name tag finally. That's crazy. Um, we don't have any matches in progress at the moment. I don't know if they all ended or if we're still waiting on one.
036That's it. >> That >> Oh, yeah. That's is it. Thank you for joining us this evening. >> Oh, no. We got to We got to recap real quick. >> Oh, >> we should recap real quick. Yeah, >> it's all his fault. >> Yeah, definitely all my fault. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just writing down the results. How did How did Clay do? >> Clay one. >> Thank you. Okay, very nice. Tallying up the results for the three rounds played today in week two. We have EMTT taking a round one loss, then following that up with two wins, 2-1 on the week. Good performance. Uh Owen in a similar vein, winning his first two but losing his last as you just saw. Also 2-1. Barollo with a very good week two. Solid three wins, zero losses. Jordan
037with a rough one, two. He had a lot of very difficult opponents. Kind of an unlucky draw this week. >> We believe he will bounce back and do better. >> I'm sure he will. >> The defending state champ Hunter 3. No surprises there. >> Goat conversation for Tetris. Not just in Cyber Talk, but all time. Totally. >> Yeah. Yeah. Um, our last two competitors, Clay, uh, winning round one, losing round two, winning round three. Good to one. And the newcomer, Kyle, has a very good second week in the league. >> As you saw, he won his last match. Offscreen, he won his first match and lost his second. 2-1 for the newcomer. Very nice performance from all of our Cyber Tigers. >> Yes, I would say so. I say we ended out with a positive
038for everyone. >> Yes. Yen, >> that is very good. We look forward to seeing what our cyber tigers are going to bring to the table next time. >> Yes. >> Know who's bringing what to the table for us?
