Jonas Evan Neubauer (April 19, 1981 – January 5, 2021[1]) was an American Tetris player, Twitch streamer, and a taproom manager.

[11] In around 2002, Neubauer recorded a max-out game and posted it online,[5] but it was initially received with skepticism, as it did not include audio.

[4] Due to his achievement, Neubauer was one of five people given reserved spots in the tournament, to be called the Classic Tetris World Championship.

[17] This marked the first time Neubauer was defeated in competition, and it was Harry Hong's only Classic Tetris World Championship victory.

Before the 2018 tournament, Neubauer expected increased competition due to the rise of the "hypertapping" style, naming Koji "Koryan" Nishio as the favorite to win the title.

After qualifying as the third seed, Neubauer slowly made his way to the semifinals, where he set up a thriller match against first-time competitor Tomohiro "GreenTea" Tatejima.

During his post-match interview, when asked if he was again contemplating retirement, Neubauer reaffirmed that he plans to keep competing indefinitely regardless of whether he was the favorite to win or not.

Although expectations were low for DAS players like Neubauer after the domination of hypertapping in past competitions, he was able to make it to the top 16 before being defeated 3–1 by eventual semifinalist Jacob "Huffulufugus" Huff.

During his post-match interview, a visibly emotional Neubauer expressed his gratitude and excitement for the ever-rising popularity of the tournament.

[25] On June 9, 2019, Neubauer was a panelist on ABC's To Tell the Truth, where he was one of three who had to fool celebrities into thinking that he was the Lego Master Builder.

[29] A quote from a 2018 interview of Jonas is engraved on the trophy: “If you’re a high visibility player, it’s on you to move the community in a positive direction”.
