    Gibson began to play the 1989 puzzle video game Tetris in 2021 when he was 11 years old. He became interested after watching content relating to it on YouTube. Before Tetris, Gibson had showed an interest in gaming from around 5 years old, playing other video games like Geometry Dash, Minecraft, and Rocket League. After showing greater interest towards Tetris, however, his mother acquired a RetroN console from a pawnbroker and a CRT display her workplace had discarded. Playing the game started out as "mainly a hobby", Gibson said in a 2023 interview, but later grew into competitive play online and against others. He eventually began to livestream under the gaming name "Blue Scuti", referring to the star UY Scuti.

    Before his game crash achievement, Gibson competed in several tournaments, including placing third in the Classic Tetris World Championship (CTWC) in October 2023, winning US$1,500. At 13 years old, Gibson was also one of the event's youngest competitors. He won his first live tournament at a Kansas City regional on December 2, 2023, where he received a championship apron.

    Willis Gibson (born January 27, 2010), also known online as Blue Scuti, is an American classic Tetris player from Stillwater, Oklahoma. He is best known for becoming the first person to "beat" the game on December 21, 2023, after he triggered a killscreen on the previously unreached level 157, crashing the game.

    Gibson became interested in Tetris at 11 years old after he watched related content on YouTube. He later began to pursue the game competitively, adopting the rolling technique to move the game pieces faster, and participating in tournaments including the Classic Tetris World Championship in 2023, where he placed third. After fellow Tetris players, including Justin Yu, began to attempt to reach the game's killscreen, Gibson followed suit, where he was ultimately successful. He gained international attention after the achievement, being interviewed by The New York Times and Good Morning America. In one such interview, Gibson dedicated his achievement to his deceased father Adam. He is regarded as one of the best Tetris players in the United States.

    Gibson's playing style was described as "aggressive" by Stillwater News Press. He first learned to play the game using the hypertapping technique in 2021, but when the faster rolling technique was discovered, his playing style changed to it instead. The combination of skill, aggression, and mastery of the rolling technique was credited to Gibson's ability to perform well in the game. For his set-up, Gibson often plays with the controller on his right foot balanced against his left knee, with his right hand performing the rolling and tapping actions. He wears a glove on his right hand to reduce the friction of the repeated actions.

Before his death, Adam attended Willis's first live tournament victory at the Kansas City regional and commissioned a neon sign of Willis's username as a Christmas gift. In an interview with NBC News on January 5, 2024, Gibson dedicated his game crash achievement to his father, Adam, who had died from a heart attack one week before Gibson achieved the game crash. In another interview with WFAA in February 2024, Gibson stated he's brought a keepsake plush with the words "I Love You Dad" written on the back of it to each tournament he's competed in since.

    Aside from Tetris and other retro games, Gibson's hobbies include playing at the arcade, bowling, cycling, and solving Rubik's cubes. He has stated that he does not want his Tetris career to interfere with his education, and that he plans to use any prize money or other related earnings to pay for college.
