Blue Scuti
| 2024-01-23 — Present |
Willis "Blue Scuti" Gibson is an American classic Tetris player. Emerging from obscurity, he made a historic run to the semifinals, placing third overall[1] in his CTWC debut in 2023.
Prior to this tournament, his most notable accomplishment was runner-up to dog in CTL's season 22 Division 1 playoffs just a week earlier. Scuti had failed to qualify for CTM Masters in 6 attempts, and left 2023's Mega Masters and Lone Star Championship with early exits.
He would quickly demonstrate his legitimacy as an elite player; Scuti won both a Masters title and the Kansas City CTWC regional two months later in December. Although an unexpected casualty of Tristop's CTWC 2024 run in the quarterfinals, he would become the Lone Star's Open Champion in July.
Online, Scuti holds the record for the most consecutive CTM titles, winning six in a row from October 2025 to March 2026. He also holds the record for the most consecutive CTL championships, winning five in a row from Season 25 to Season 29. He entered eight consecutive CTM major finals from May 2024 to January 2025, a CTM record. Scuti also organized the Stillwater Showdown, a regional held in his hometown in Oklahoma.
