Sidenote for organized people!

If you're focusing on timing, I talked about it in two different parts of the video, one where its grouped in a different match than where I was supposed to talk about it. If you want to focus on timing, the footnote is at 1:11:33. Thank you for watching the video, and comment if you have any further questions about certain topics.

Forgot the best tip: make 10000 alt accounts to push the X rank threshold down 😎😎😎

cant sit down and do homework for 15 minutes yet here I am finished with a feature length tetris lecture

[Manabender]

I told Pi he could pick any replay of mine he wanted, and he definitely picked an interesting one. Based on stats and TR, I was expecting to go about 1-7 or 2-7. I was outmatched in both speed and APM. Because of that, I played as conservatively as possible. Usually I greed for more attack, even during the downstack, but my one and only goal the entire match was to simply survive long enough to find a huge lucky spike. It worked six times. Even though I ultimately lost, I'm happy with the outcome, because I popped off like crazy.

hi sec im fan





it’s actually really cool that you made this, i know of many players stuck in the U rank hole

[addicteds_underscore]

I like how much of a lack of a counter stickspin we had 1 year ago now if you are u rank and die to stickspin you are considered bald as hellll

[NoFontNL]

1:00:02 Not ever using an I piece and using an I piece in your stack occasionally are two separate things. Same goes for T. You may be 'wasting' a T-Spin by using a T-Piece in your stack, but at the same time you might fix an uneven field which pays off in the long run.
Just wanted to put this out there
Thanks for the tips! I'll try incorporating them!

Actually helped me get to X rank, information about burnout and thinking pace was especially useful, thanks a lot!

[FT]

amazing guide, thank you very much! I got to X rank but then dropped back down. Nearly all of these tips have been helpful.

[tairyfail]

Everytine when my opponent starts to send cheese, my brain rejects to think

[KayDeeAitch]

[not_some_rando]

[yami]

my playstyle is brainless apm spam, just opener gaming (mostly tki, pco and sdpc) and then just playing without ever caring about my opponent's board or playstyle lol
I'm at 23k7 TR now, hopefully this video can help me improve my strategies and get to X rank soon
