My Arcade, a leading retro gaming company, proudly announces that their sponsored player, Willis Gibson, also known as Blue Scuti, has achieved remarkable success at the Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC) 2024 held in Pasadena, California from June 7–9, 2024.
Willis Gibson emerged as a standout player, securing two prestigious awards. He was honored as the top-ranked player in the tournament’s qualifying round, demonstrating exceptional skill and dedication. In addition, he received a special recognition from the Tetris company for making history as the first player to crash the Tetris game. On December 21, 2023, at the age of 13, Gibson advanced to the unprecedented level 157, reaching the infamous “kill screen” — a point where the game becomes unplayable due to its original programming limitations. This historic achievement took him less than 39 minutes, showcasing his extraordinary talent and strategic prowess.
“We are immensely proud of Willis Gibson for his outstanding performance and groundbreaking achievements,” said a spokesperson from My Arcade. “His dedication to the game and his ability to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Tetris is truly inspiring.
