"Next Piece" Player Spotlight Nominations

[WillyTris]

Yay congrats!
i didn't know we were still doing POTM though

Thanks! (I'm just going to assume that you were replying to me, If that wasn't the case, I'll delete that)
[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]It's not POTM worthy, but I've really improved since last year. last year my apm was 30-40 on my good games in battle 2p and arena, now it's 80+ on battle 2p, and 50-60 apm on arena(note these are my good games) I've also cut my sprint almost in half. At the beginning of the year I had 1:03 now I have 34 seconds. Lastly I over took Blink on TU's ultra leader board, and I think I'm second now I haven't checked in a while. [/quote] (EagleLover68)

Everyone has their own choice, Incredible speed there!
[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]Player of the Month has been shut down because people would rather vote on whether a hot dog is a sandwich than whose avatar we have to see under the shoutbox for a month.[/quote] (Aaron)
One: LOL.
Two: *Punches that on Google* I got this as my first outcome:
"First thing that comes to my mind as a sandwich includes deli meat, sliced deli meat and lettuce, tomato, onions, mayo, mustard. A Hot Dog, regardless of how much mustard you put on it, is not a sandwich"--Baseball Prospectus
You know you could have googled that, Don't you? That seems like a stupid question if you ask me. (No offense...)
[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]while the voting may be gone, there is no reason not to continue to post your progress if you are doing so for your own sake. plus, others may enjoy seeing it, even if there isnt an award for it anymore.[/quote] (perfectclear)
I agree with this statement! =D
[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]New Record!!!
New PB: 27.53
Old PB: 27.55
Time saved: .02 seconds.
The culmination of 6 months of practice folks ._.[/quote]
That by itself is very impressive to me, Keep up the good work!
I replied to a lot of players!

I finally got to the top on tu's ultra leader board now I'm aiming for 75+ scores.

[pwn_by_numbers]

Really happy about this one, I finally sub40'd with zero finesse faults!

(Even got a bonus PC finish!)

Been working on learning finesse for a few months now, when I started I couldn't even sub 60. One week ago I was at around 45 sec, and today I am very close to my "normal" PB (37.33 with >30 faults) with 38.50.

After a year long break we're bringing POTM back to bring attention to members of the community who have shown strong improvement or community dedication deserving of special recognition!  

It's going to be renamed to "Next Piece".  Get it? Because these players are the future of the Tetris community, they are the next pieces.. yeah? YEAH!

So make sure to submit your achievements, however big or small, or nominate your friends/mentors who have volunteered their time to help you along the way.

Looking forward to seeing how much better you've gotten over the past year.

*Note: Players will be featured longer than a month
*Past achievements will be considered, it's not just who improved the most this month
*You can nominate others, in fact it's encouraged

New sprint record sub 30! WOOO!

[yotipo91]

Awesome! Sub 30 feels good. I stopped trying as hard when I achieved that. Don't let that happen to you--get sub 25!

I started streaming daily to record progress.

I beat my Sprint by 3ms, and I finally got sub 40 on TF.

[Destiny]

Thanks for the advice Yoti :') No way i'm quitting now. Im spending all of my summer going for that sub 25 hehe

The time when I finally broke 200 lines under 2:30 in tf? xd
I've been playing mostly TOP over the past 3 years until recently where I kind of started actually facing the realities of line clear delay in TF and play the game for real. There's a somewhat different style of play between tf and TOP, so this kinda got me hyped as breaking 200ls in tf is harder than hitting 100 apm in TOP. and finally not get killed instantly in top tier rooms

cuz the best i could do before playing TF for real were...
[spoiler][attachmentid=950]
Almost exactly a year ago...
[attachmentid=951]
Highest lines sent last year thx to a dc from another player...
[attachmentid=949]
About 2 years ago I thought this was awesome...[/spoiler]

[yotipo91]

I use that victory screen too! I love how there's chirping sound effects, but the text says "Quack! Quack!"

[Master]

hmm from 33 seconds sprint to 28 seconds (tetris friends )

Definitely think QuestionMark deserves Next Piece, with the first Phantom Mania GM and such.
