This Sunday marks the onset of the 2011 Tetris World Championships competition! Last year Jonas Neubauer took home the title, beating out Harry Hong in a great contest. Surprisingly, Thor Aackerlund, who dominated in the Tetris segment in the 1990 Nintendo World Championships, had some issues making it to the finals last year (although he redeemed himself by breaking the level 29, thought to be impossible to pass previously.)

If you can't be there, you can watch the live coverage of the event over at NintendoAge.com.
