Can You Always Win a Game of Tetris?

If you played the game perfectly, could you always win a game of Tetris? Or is there some sequence of blocks that could force you to lose the game, no matter how good at the game you are?

I love the visualization, explanation, and content of the video. It has a logical flow from how the game being played and how to tackle the question. A counterexample was provided to prove a statement is wrong which is mathematically rigorous. And then you added a constraint on how the block can be selected to make the problem harder. This is what researchers always do. I enjoy this video. Very thoughtful and inspiring. Well done!
