What Happened to Blue Scuti AFTER He Beat Tetris?

[@badgreentiger]

Scuti sister here. This was absolutely amazing. I love being able to see Willis be able to achieve all of these goals and have this heartwarming community. All these tetris players are so good at what they do and support each other. Willis is an amazing kid and I know Dad would be so proud of him. He was always proud of us siblings. Thank you again for making me cry at the end

[@casperlehmann]

This video dropped just in time for father’s day as well, didn’t it. That must result in all kinds of feelings. But man, what a way to be remembered and celebrated. Your kid dedicating his achievements to you for all the world to see, while doing what he loves with a tightly knit community. It’s awe inspiring. Also, all us nerds didn’t expect to cry at the end. Beautiful.

[@Plus_Escapee]

Fame is not easy. I hope it serves him well, and I hope he stays safe. He's a real wizard.

[@trapzone707]

It’s been awesome watching Scuti on the rise the past couple months. He’s handled the crazy publicity insanely well and only gotten better as a player since. He probably has some of the most remarkable nerve control in the game that I’ve seen, and will surely only go up from here. The staple story and personality in the new era of Tetris, imo.

[@ryanamburgy2791]

Hi elle

[@dannthegentleman4261]

That's true, man is a real ambassador for the game at just 13 years old!

[@arcanealchemist3190]

for real, im not super into tetris but i used to play other esports semi-professionally, and ive got to say, that kid is cool as ice. just being in a big competition is enough to crack most people and he went from largely competing at home with a small online audience to competing in front of a live crowd with documentarians and news teams recording him, pretty much without skipping a beat. that is a talent in itself. and to know this is all so soon after his dad's passing, im genuinely in awe of his resilience.

[@dannthegentleman4261]

Watch out for Alex T too tho, this youngster is a BEAST, he has huge GOAT potential as well

[@richardli4038]

it might be because he’s young. a lot of self doubt and other insecurities that come with fleeting fame don’t show up till later in life. but it really depends how you’re raised too. i had some experience of this (but wasn’t this famous). i think he will be alright

[@MylesTheGreat]

Scuti is an inspiration man

[@haidangduong3805]

You are also an inspiration, brother😊

[@CallousCoder]

Oh that is so sweet. Ultimate sportmanship, but I gotta say, seeing you play is also insane! All you guys are super humans. I can't even see the next piece in the same speed you guys already dropped your current piece!

[@alamcho]

The man himself

[@dogplayingtetris]

The Big M himself!

[@CatfoodChronicles6737]

Man?

[@Ruminations09]

Every time I am reminded of just how widespread and well known Scuti's achievement is, I can't help but think two things, simultaneously: 1) He absolutely deserves all the recognition he's gained but also 2) It's tragic that Fractal missed this achievement by millimeters, and for that simple bit of bad luck, will never get the same recognition outside of the community that Scuti has I wish Scuti all the best in navigating his newfound fame, and hope he continues to excel at Tetris. I look forward to what he manages to achieve next.

[@richardli4038]

it’s also not definite that fractal’s story would have had the same reach, as a 13 year old who just lost his father. not to devalue either players accomplishments, but mass media is obviously a business and has certain incentives

[@kronosomni2805]

Scuti has someone batting for him in the next life, is what I believed finally pushed it over the top, it isn't a coincidence in my mind that his game crash was achieved with a J Piece, and at the last possible chance, no less.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

I'm sorta wondering what's going to happen if Fractal (or whoever) hits the wrap around, if it'll generate as much hype as Scuti did for crashing

[@RobMedellin]

No, it's not tragic that it wasn't Fractal. Ask Fractal himself, he would have liked it, but doesn't even begins to resent that it wasn't him. And fractal may have not accomplished it that soon were it not for the motivation of seeing it happen. Is a well known fenomenon, once someone beats a barrier, others will soon do it shortly after. Having said that, Fractal is my favorite player, he's so awesome! But I'm glad it was scuti who got it first.

Bluescuti has really expanded the tetris community. since he crashed the game, the community has grown exponentially with more and more players.

[@Michael-kp4bd]

It’s kind of crazy how many iconic and legendary players have risen from Tetris’ recent evolution that has brought gameplay to unforeseen new heights, and Classic Tetris’ continuing boom in popularity. Scuti’s actually just one name that’ll be enshrined in Tetris history and known for inspiring new players. But for anyone to get the unprecedented worldwide recognition for these latest achievements, I can’t think of a more deserving player than Scuti. What an inspiring player and all around amazing guy

[@AfroMyrdal]

@9:58 you can see how excited and happy Sharky was for Myles there, That's how sport and games should be played!

[@Dan_d00d]

Damn you Scout, always chopping those onions. If its not about all our enduring love for Jonas , its something else, and this time end on the sad situation of Scuti's Dad. He is clearly proving to be wildly level headed, mature beyond his age and a fab ambassador rep for the Tetris scene. As much as your documenting provides to all of us.

Hot Take: Despite just being 13 years old, Blue Scuti is already a Goat, one of the best Tetris players of all-time! Longevity is unnecessary. He caused the very first gamecrash!

[@Ruminations09]

He's certainly in contention! That being said, it would be controversial to even say he's the best player who's currently active, so marking him as greatest of all time would be a bit of a tough sell. With another few years of consistently good results though? Yeah, he'll absolutely be up for GOAT status.

[@NateAllDay]

He’s like the “11-year old Magnus Carlsen” of Tetris

[@Babyshark-co8ks]

Blue scuti is absolutely not GOAT status yet, that will belong for a long time to Jonas. Heck, scuti has only won 1 monthly title compared to Dog Fractal and Koryan who have all won something like 10 CTMs.

[@ManuelPersona24]

Partway through this video, I was thinking to myself how much attention this is for a 13 year old and I truly hope he stays humble throughout this spotlight. I feel like Jonas and Joseph were able to do that pretty well, so the spirit of the community will naturally keep him in check, I think. I also think his heart will be in the right place in regards to him honoring his dad with all of his achievements. Great work, Scout! This severely pulled at my heartstrings

[@QWERTYCommander]

The community seems so great and supportive, it's like the speedrun community in a lot of ways. All competition is in good fun and everyone just wants to see how far the game can be pushed.

[@CoreDreamStudios]

Blue Scuti basically made a Tetris revolution. So amazing to see so many players, some former champions, future champions, fans, and more, come out for the fun, competition and the community. Good coverage of this historical timeline, for sure.

[@Sidgirl5]

Genuinely so proud of this kid, to make all of these achievements and to be recognized properly around the world for them, it makes me smile. The picture of him and his dad in the museum + the plush made me cry so hard, it's sad that his dad could never know of his biggest achievement

[@NYfan2004]

This video is the ULTIMATE reminder of why I keep a low profile out in the world, and why I've never shown my face or revealed my full name here on KZbin. As a humble human being, that kind of fame and recognition is just something I could never handle. Heck i couldn't handle even a fraction of it Also, the kind of recognition that Scuti is getting is something the scene AS A WHOLE deserves. Not just him. I don't have anything against Scuti. He's a great player and a great human being, but can't we say that about pretty much all the top players in the scene? And being the first to do something like getting the game crash DOESN'T MEAN you're the best. It's just as incredible of an achievement no matter how many people have gotten it before you Also personally I think rebirth is gonna be a bigger achievement than the crash. To get to the crash you just need to clear that single at the transition into 155 or hit some other crash trigger. With rebirth on the other hand you gotta not only last BEYOND that, but go through more levels of dusk and charcoal and clear the 810-line level. Not to mention the dark green is hard to see too from what I've heard
