As qualifications progressed, numerous became worried and saddened by the fact that Jani wasn’t putting up good scores. He had come all this way and probably won’t even qualify. It’s not fair that he didn’t know that it would be a different version.
Finally, a score of 725,726 had been reached. Not only had he qualified, he obtained a great qualifying score.
Jani ended the day of qualifying in the number 10 seed.
Scary to think that someone who has never played this specific version of Tetris before, ended up being able to land such a high score.
On the day of the tournament, no one seemed to know what would happen with any of those in the competition, especially with Jani. Would be he able to succeed and progress throughout the competition or would he sadly be out after the first round?
He was successful in getting to the final eight. However, he was beat by Harry Hong which resulted in him placing 8th overall in the competition. Not bad for his lack of experience.
Those within the Tetris community decided to purchase what was needed for Jani to bring back to Finland. He was given a Tetris cartridge as well as a NES console.
Bo asked, “Are you going to practice the American version?”
Jani replied, “Yes, if I want to win next year.”
I cannot wait to see the progress and successes that Jani achieves in the coming year. He is force to be reckoned with; all competitors should be scared. However, as intimidated as everyone is… Jani has definitely become the favorite amongst those in the Tetris community.
