Flamingo DT
This has the same shape as Cradle variation Flamingo, but the I piece is on the left side instead. This allows the creation of T-Spin Triple after a T-Spin Double which was not possible in other variations. This variation of Flamingo was invented by Japanese player Yuu.

First Bag
The first bag requires O and L to come early on the bag.

Second Bag
Depending on the piece sequence, there are a few ways of continuing the setup. The main feature of this setup, which is the T-Spin Triple, has a 77.6% chance to be built after the first bag.
