The only e-sports I actively watch is Classic Tetris World Championships
Tetris lore goes crazy. The skill ceiling of the pro players keep climbing higher and higher that they had to invent a whole new way to hold the controller just to keep pushing higher because the human limits far surpasses the original devs' intentions.
The highest speed in NES Tetris that the devs intended for you to go is at lvl 29 (dubbed the killscreen). It's so fast that playing normally will get you killed. But the game doesn't actually end at that speed. You can keep going if you just move the blocks fast enough.
The game actually goes all the way up to lvl 255. But the problem with going high enough is that the devs definitely didn't intend for this to happen. Starting at lvl 138, the game unintentionally pulls random bits of code and interpret them as colours, forming the "glitched colours" phase. Lvl 146 ("dusk") and lvl 148 ("charcoal) are particularly brutal, because their colour sets are very difficult to see against a dark background. Oh and at lvl 235? Good luck lol. Normally a level lasts for ten line clears, but this one? It lasts for 810 lines. Not that you'll likely reach it because starting from lvl 155 the game have a chance to crash with every button input if you play in the original cartidge.
The beautiful part tho? At the end of lvl 255, the game restarts to lvl 0. It's called "Rebirth", and I think it's a poetic ending after going through all that hell even if none of this was intended by the devs.
Pro Classic Tetris players have crashed the game before (that became world news lol, imagine how surprised I was when my niche esports became the talk of the world), as well as reach the Rebirth on a modified cartridge that removes the crashes. I can't imagine how brutal it is to grind runs with the crash risks on though, because players have been developing theories to tap certain buttons at specific times to eliminate the crash risks.
