┈┈┈┈Player Interviews: cz0402┈┈┈┈

Although he’s a relative newcomer to the competitive Tetris scene, cz has quickly risen to become widely considered as the single best TETR.IO player. Famous for implementing macroplay into his playstyle, and infamous for triple rotating, banter and not showering, this Malaysian 16 year old continues to amaze onlookers, consistently defeating other top players and putting up incredible scores against bots. Read on to learn more about cz!

cz is from my real name which I don't want to reveal it and 0402 is came from my birthday you heard it here folks^^^
 * Q. How did you get your nickname? What does it mean?

9 years
 * Q. How long have you been playing Tetris?

I first started Tetris Battle in the start of 2012 when I saw my siblings played it in 2011.
 * Q. How did you get into playing Tetris? Why did you start, and what was your first game?

Noomoi, because he is my senpai and he is the reason I improved a lot and what I become today.
 * Q. Who are some players you look up to? Why?

TETR.IO, cause I like the high pace combo multiplier table,b2b and passthroughs added more timing skill expression to the game.
 * Q. Which Tetris platform or gamemode is your favorite? Why?

macro is a decision making skill that everyone haves, even if you did bad descisions it still a macroplay. An example is if you are at the top and opponent ready to send u the garbage would you just no timing and send back or would you wait for garbage to cancel to prevent passthrough
 * Q.What is macroplay? What exactly does it mean, and how can I use it?

I didn't have special ways to practice. But I can said is try to know when its good to send clean/cheese. If you have good position then clean garbage better but if you are at danger position then you need to lower the pace of the game by sending cheese or block your opponent garbage. And mostly just accept clean garbage to spike back, don't accept cheese unless you think your full spike setup can topout your opponent then you can just accept it.
 * Q. How do you practice? Do you have any advice for improvement?''

Become one of the best Tetris players, Sub 19 with triple rotate
 * Q. Which achievements are you most proud of?

Laptop keyboard
 * Q. What keyboard or controller do you use?

fried rice
 * Q. What's your favorite food?

Yellow,Orange,White,Blue
 * Q. What's your favorite color?

Yes
 * Q. Are you single?

Wish I can play tetris forever
 * Q. If you had one chance to wish for anything, what would you wish for?

Thank you so much!! Is there anything you would like to say? Thanks for interview :D
