About this person
Jonas Evan Neubauer was born April 19, 1981, and spent years managing a taproom while becoming the face of competitive classic Tetris. He claimed seven titles at the Classic Tetris World Championships, a run that made him the measuring stick in a scene built around a 1989 cartridge. He streamed on Twitch, where thousands watched him guide falling tetrominoes with the calm of someone who'd done it a million times before. He died January 5, 2021, at 39.
