Forever a champion
The gaming world has lost one of its great weeks. Jonas Neubauer, known for his extraordinary ability in Tetris, died on January 4. He was only 39 years old.
Neubauer is the most accomplished classic Tetris player in history. During his competitive career, he won seven Classical Tetris World Championships, winning four years in a row from 2010 to 2013 and achieving three rehearsals from 2015 to 2017. He also set multiple records, including in 2018 when he eliminated 100 lines in three minutes and nine seconds. This moment is now the second fastest in the world.
With a heavy heart we offer the terrible news that Jonas died in a sudden medical emergency.
He was the absolute best. We are devastated, overwhelmed with pain and we already miss him.
