The Tetris Effect And Our Boundaryless Digital Future

Title makes no sense to me ("Teenager beats Tetris game older than he is to become world champion [video]").
I parse it as: This post includes a video of a teenager beating a tetris game which was released before the boy was born.
They keep taking the entire event down (~7 hours of competition) on the CTCW YouTube page, but luckily someone thought ahead and recorded the Semi-Finals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHMLwgE4ZG8 I've been following competitive Tetris for the past 2 years now. It slid into my YT feed and I've been hooked. I got to watch the stream live! Jonas is the man! He's won it multiple times and plays a beautiful game. I tho…
For years I’ve been clamoring for competitive heads up Tetris...and I knew there would be an audience for it. The crazy thing...what you link isn’t even the exciting 2 player mode. I’m not sure if it’s the nes or snes version but 2 player is more of a battle mode where your 2 lines, 3 lines and Tetris’ get included on your opponents side. The winner is last man standing (not score).

I was with you until here. I'm curious what you mean by this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
They are trying to say that Tetris came out before he was born. Very poor attempt at a sensationalist title.
It would be like "24 year-old Garry Kasparov wins world championship of 1500 year-old game."
The BBC website won't display the video of this to me unless I install their app. There's something deeply wrong with that.

I think the NES Tetris score attack ruleset is better suited for pure competition. Both players receive the same pieces with the same RNG seed and it comes down to who can balance the management of their stack and maximizing the score the best.
