Ever since the Classic Tetris World Championships (CTWC) began in 2010, the community has become closer each year, and once the Classic Tetris Monthly was created in 2017, it had an ever-increasing online presence. Fractal is a apart of the new generation of Tetris prodigies, learning the rolling technique that top player Cheez invented with its purpose being to help increase piece movement for the killscreen. This tournament run showcases Fractal's mastery of the technique, with him fighting his way through some of the most absurd matchups the tournament format has ever produced. #tetris #nes #speedrun
