Matthew Tassier was an octochamp in and the runner-up of Series 73. Tassier achieved five centuries in his octorun to set up a quarter final with No 4 seed John Hardie. In a high scoring game, Tassier prevailed 122-107 thanks to the nine ADDICTIVE. In the semi-finals, another nine, OUTBRAVES, swung the pendulum in his favour late on as Tassier defeated No 1 seed Thomas Carey to set up a final with Jonathan Wynn. The final went to a crucial conundrum, however neither player solved TTHESCORE and Tassier was defeated by 4 points.
Tassier returned to Countdown to participate in Championship of Champions XV in January 2019. He played Dougie Mackay in the third preliminary round of the tournament, breaking away to achieve a 96 – 78 thanks in part to his six-small prowess. In the Quarter finals he will take on Tom Chafer-Cook.
He is a numbers expert, some say the best Countdown numerist in the world. Obviously he practiced on Apterous, and holds the record for the extremely hard Spoilage numbers attack.
