Career highlights and awards

Willis Gibson (born January 27, 2010), also known online as Blue Scuti, is an American classic Tetris player from Stillwater, Oklahoma. He is best known for becoming the first person to "beat" the game on December 21, 2023, after he triggered a killscreen on the previously-unreached level 157, crashing the game.

Gibson became interested in Tetris at 11 years old after he watched related content on YouTube. He later began to pursue the game competitively: adopting the rolling technique to move the game pieces faster, and participating in tournaments including the Classic Tetris World Championship in 2023, where he placed third. After fellow Tetris players including Justin Yu began to attempt to reach the game's killscreen, Gibson followed suit, where he was ultimately successful. He gained international attention after the achievement, being interviewed by The New York Times and Good Morning America. In one such interview, Gibson dedicated his achievement to his deceased father Adam. He is regarded as one of the best Tetris players in the United States.[1][2]
