It’s a huge loss in so many ways. Jonas Neubauer was one of the greatest classic Tetris players of all time in skill, spirit and kindness.
Our hearts go out to his family and friends and the entire classic Tetris community as we all mourn his passing. https://t.co/iOJWFdBuv0

In his interview with Under, Neubauer compared his playing style to that of a jazz pianist in that it could be quite chaotic and that he always improvised instead of sticking to a plan. Aside from participating in the Classic Tetris World Championship, Neubauer has also been streaming on Twitch under the handle NubbinsGoody for the past few years. While of course he streamed a lot Tetris games, he also has videos with other games like Last of us 2 and even Dungeons and Dragons.
The Classic Tetris World Championship website posted a statement remembering Neubauer as a person and a legend in the community. It contains a snippet of his last match at the 2020 tournament, in which he played against Jacob “Huffulufugus” Huff.
