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!

Is that a new tourney? You join the discord and see Renge as one of the admins. “Not again” you sigh. You realize there are 5 other tourneys going on, all on the same day, all directed by renge. You can't escape, you start going insane. There are so many tourneys, you can't join them all. Timezone problem? Renge is coming to your house right now to force you to join the tourney. You close your eyes in desperation as you're destroyed by blaarg for the 50th time.

-<div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold">┈┈┈┈Player Interviews: fortissim2┈┈┈┈</div>
-Well-known for their incredible proficiency in singleplayer, fortissim2 has long been a top contender for many world records. Previously pushing the Jstris Ultra world record to new highs, holding the TETR.IO 40L world record and doing other silly things, they finally achieved the overall 40L sprint world record just recently.
-'''Question: What pronouns do you go by?'''
-:Answer: they/them is generally fine, but my family and friends use he/him
-'''Question: Where did sillyshark123 come from? Is there a story behind that account?'''
-:Answer: so i have a shark furry oc that i use in my profile picture, one day smolfeesh just called me sillyshark123 in his discord and i really liked the simplicity of the username
-:i was originally going to change my tetrio username from fortissim2 to that, but i didn't want to lose my verified role and i ended up secretly creating a jstris account under that name to track my sprint progress on ipad
-:i decided to stop playing on my other 2 jstris accounts, fortissim2 (my main one on pc) and trapinch_ (my alt for ipad), because i was getting stressed from sprint and i didn't want the community to pressure me further into getting the sprint wr
-'''Question: Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of Tetris?'''
-:Answer: other than tetris, i love building keyboards and typing really fast on them! i'm also learning stenography, a cool shorthand system used to transcribe speech in real-time but it's very hard (and fun lol)
-:i also enjoy swimming and working out, and i'm pretty good at solving rubik's cubes
-'''Question: How does your proficiency in Tetris influence your day-to-day life? How much do the people around you know?'''
-:Answer: tetris doesn't really affect my day-to-day life, but when video games are brought up as a topic in a conversation, i always mention others about tetris :)
-:my family definitely knows about my tetris skills but probably not as much as my classmates, but i feel like my school has started playing a lot more tetris after my sprint wr reaction in the cafeteria
-'''Question: What reaction did you have when you got the World Record? How did the other people in the cafeteria react?'''
-:Answer: i jumped from my seat and shouted "what the heck" really loudly, i still remember that everyone went silent and i started shaking a lot
-'''Question: How do you stay motivated when grinding? Do you have any tips for aspiring sprinters?'''
-:Answer: usually i try to think positively about my worst sprint chokes (especially my 2 7pps chokes at 94 pieces), and i don't compare myself to others
-for tips: don't be tense, don't hold spam, take frequent breaks and play more
-'''Question: Anything you want to add?'''
-:Answer: TET REUS S-T PWEFT TKPWAEUPL -FR TP-BG
