Hey guys, how’s it goin?

I am knee-deep in last-minute prep for the first Tetris Attack tournament broadcast on Saturday so I will be brief. I spent this past Saturday getting my last few V-Hard runs in before the inevitable wave of 11th hour submissions came in yesterday. The only goal of the session was to get a 7:31 and take the top seed in the tournament for the group stage. After about an hour of resetting, I clutched out a 7:24. Considering how many runs I had on sub-8 pace throughout the month that were ruined at the very end, I was more than ready to drop my grinding at that point. After that, I got to work on my Hard run a bit and, after 30 minutes, improved that qualifier by 2 seconds. After two hours, I decided that enough was enough and left my times as follows:

Easy: 5:50 (2nd)
Normal: 6:01 (1st)
Hard: 6:50 (2nd)
V-Hard: 7:24 (1st)

...good enough to get the top seed in the tournament. I'd say I can finally rest now, but I'm about to go to work so I can't even do that much.

Now, it is time to work up a bunch of graphics for the players and get them ready for a tournament preview on the Puzzle General Twitch channel on Saturday afternoon. Details are on the PuzzleGeneral Twitter.

That’s my life story for the week. Until next time, everyone, thanks for reading!
