 * ESA Winter 2023 Comes to a Close

The week-long speedrunning convention held in Malmö, Sweden between February 18 and 25 has just ended. The event raised $103,895 for Alzheimerfonden, falling just short of the $135,000 goal. The TETR.IO Showcase brought in $4420, reaching all donation incentives. During the event, Kelvin, Zepheniah, mystery, z2sam and mat1jaczyyy showcased 40 Lines, Blitz, VS battle, and cheese race to an audience of over 5,000 watching live for just over an hour.

 * Relatively unknown apparent PPT God Dai Chan becomes the first person to sub 30 in PPT2 40L Sprint. Featuring two midgame PCs and a PC finish, this score may remain unchallenged for a very long time!
