Welp! This is news to me! I'd very much like to appear at the tourney, but I don't know yet if I'll be able.

Also, I haven't a Hard Drop shirt. I can, however, rep Tetris Grand Master 3.

Ah I meant in the movie, not the tournament. We are still on correct?

Update:

Terry Lee Torok will most likely be the host (NWC fame)

It is looking (fingers crossed) like Alexey Pajitnov will be making a live video appearance via skype from Moscow.

Blue Planet has agreed to be a sponsor for the tournament.

That is pretty awesome

I rep my tgm3 shirt at all my geek events. Maybe they should make harddrop pins?

Doesn't he live in Honolulu now? Or does it just happen that he'll be visiting Russia during the time of the tournament.

I'm not sure he ever did live in Hawaii. I know he lived in Washington state, and he visits Russia at least sometimes. I think I remember reading that he was thinking about moving back to the motherland for good eventually.

I'm not 100%. I'd need to look back at the interviews.

Thanks Kitaru for the interview. The director said your answers were fantastic. See you in L.A. on Saturday!
