A summary of certain badges and their awarded player count.[1]

Badges are simple graphics placed on a registered user's userpage or player card signifying that user's achievements. Most badges are timestamped with the format MM/DD/YY, HH/MM/SS AM or PM, readable after hovering over the badge. When a moderator or administrator adds a badge manually, the badgeholder may gain a badge without a timestamp.[2][3] Badges are ordered chronologically from left to right and top to bottom, and in some cases only found in the standalone TETRA CHANNEL site. For example, if one were to get the Secret Grade badge before the end of the INFDEV phase, then got a 20TSD badge, the badges would be ordered with Secret Grade first, then INFDEV, then 20TSD. The order arrangement ignores the lack of a timestamp.[4]

Obtainable badges

Ordered chronologically based off the time they were added to the game, these are badges new accounts can still gain without moderator or administrator intervention.

Number 1

The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge
The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge

This badge is automatically awarded to any player confirmed to have beat the current world record in 40 Lines, Blitz, or Quick Play through a strict replay validation protocol involving every input being played back server-side with the same seed to ensure the run was legitimate.

  • The current 40 Lines world record is 0:13.430, being ran by WESTL.[5]
  • The current Blitz world record is 2,417,435 points, being scored by LEMTEXILE.[6]
  • Quick Play records reset weekly, and only the player with the highest-altitude game at the end of the week receives the badge. Players are eligible to receive a badge from both normal and Expert brackets.

The leaderboards were blank at the start of INFDEV and at the start of Alpha, allowing a few players to get the Number 1 badge with relatively lower scores.

This was the second badge players could obtain without moderator or administrator intervention, and was the only one[7] until the Secret Grade badge was added in the 0.4.2 update.

As of December 5, 2020, 19 players possessed this badge.[8] 17 more players had gained this badge in-between then and February 13, 2023, some having being earned via the 5,000,000 Blast competition.[1] The first player to obtain this badge was VinceHD_,[9] however the timestamp is relatively recent due to him having remade his account on September 12, 2020.

KO'd Founder

The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge
The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge

This badge was likely added somewhere during the release of 4.0.0 on July 22, 2020[10] to June 25, 2020, as the earliest known instance of this badge, being on user swomp's profile[11] was obtained then. To achieve this badge one must KO osk, the founder of TETR.IO, in any online mode. There are also several conditions to note of:

  1. The only qualifying user to KO is osk. One may not attain this badge by KO'ing Co-Founder Kagari.
  2. An Indirect KO, Direct KO, or Spike KO all count as long as the player is shown credit for the kill.
  3. If one matches against osk in Tetra League, only one round is needed to obtain the badge, not the entire set.
  4. osk cannot obtain the badge by topping themself out, as when a user tops out without being sent garbage, the killer is internally defined as null, thus the system would attempt to award user null with the badge rather than osk.

osk usually goes on the dev servers or private testing with personal friends to test TETR.IO features when they aren't developing TETR.IO. osk also used to be found in Quick Play (now Royale) after planned server maintenance for a few rounds. osk could sometimes be found when popular Twitch channels streamed TETR.IO, and would join in if the streamer ran a public custom room.[citation needed] The TETRA CHANNEL's Tetra News section and TETRA CHANNEL API's All Latest News call can signal activity when the badge is awarded to a player. Most requests for 1v1's via Discord, Twitter, E-mail, GitHub reports, or messages through in-game chat are ignored.

When osk is found in a three- or more player Battle Royale, one may adjust between the four targeting modes, or click on osk's board to set them as the manual target if the Allow Manual Targeting room setting is enabled.

As of December 5, 2020, 245 players have KO'd osk since the creation of the badge.[8] On March 7, 2022, the amount of players with the badge increased to 551.[12] On February 13, 2023, a total of 674 players had the badge.[1] The first known occurrence of this badge is on user swomp's profile.[11][9] Several exceptions have been made to the aforementioned process of obtaining the badge. During the closed testing period of Tetra League where access was limited to supporters and users with the INFDEV badge, some players preserved images of them KO'ing osk before the creation of the badge, leading to two cases of a moderator awarding the badge manually and without a timestamp on them.[2][3]

Super Lobby

The badge given to those who emerge victorious in a super lobby.
The badge given to those who emerge victorious in a super lobby.

This badge originated in Tetris 99. After the game's 2.0.0 update added Invictus mode in September 2019, Games Done Quick had a Tetris 99 portion in their GDQx 2019 event, where Hard Drop founder Blink would play a few rounds of Invictus mode, encouraging viewers on Twitch to snipe him live with their own copy of Tetris 99.[13] Afterwards, on October 26, 2019, player and streamer Tafokints wanted to gather top players into an Invictus room, where it would be easier for players to queue into the same room.[14] This eventually led to Hard Drop announcing Tetris 99 Super Lobbies as a monthly event.[15] Later on, Hard Drop would organize a TETR.IO Super Lobby, first during the Hard Drop Open XXI, then later as its own standalone monthly event with a unique badge for the winners.

The Hard Drop Super Lobby brought in need for optimizations regarding large TETR.IO rooms as many players were lagging. Shortly after the first Hard Drop Super Lobby which was canceled midway for technical difficulties, Super Lobby Mode was revealed on the 5.2.2 patch,[16] introducing extra animations and performance enhancements whenever any room had more than 100 players playing in it. This badge was added on March 16, 2021, alongside the 6.0.3 update.[17] This makes it the second badge to have been directly named in the patch notes, the first of which being the Number 1 badge.

To obtain this badge, one needs to win a match with over 100 players (excluding spectators). Rooms qualified for Super Lobby Mode have unique animations surrounding it, including the rotation of each board in a large 3D dome-like environment and the amount of players playing shown in a large cut-in alongside special fanfare not normally played. A special system message shown to all current and future members of the room is published to the room chat when the room reaches enough players to be a Super Lobby.

The first player to officially emerge victorious in a TETR.IO Super Lobby was Caboozled_Pie, an hour and thirty-five minutes after the patch notes announced the badge.[18] As of March 7, 2022, 1,839 players have won one or more TETR.IO Super Lobbies.[12] As of February 13, 2023, it was the third-most obtained badge with 2,572 owners, despite its relatively late release date.[1]

KO'd by Founder

The badge awarded to any player who is KO'd by osk.
The badge awarded to any player who is KO'd by osk.

This badge was added on May 23, 2022, and is eponymously named after the KO'd founder badge and has similar award conditions. To attain the badge one must be KO'd by osk, the founder of TETR.IO, in any online mode. There are also several conditions to note of:

  1. The only qualifying user to KO is osk. One may not attain this badge by KO'ing Co-Founder Kagari.
  2. An Indirect KO, Direct KO, or Spike KO all count as long as the player is shown credit for the kill.
  3. If one matches against osk in Tetra League, only one round is needed to obtain the badge, not the entire set.
  4. osk cannot obtain the badge by topping themself out, as when a user tops out without being sent garbage, the killer is internally defined as null, thus the system would attempt to award user null with the badge rather than osk.

In a multiplayer room, one can search for osk's board and top out if incoming garbage is received near the area, potentially awarding the badge via an Indirect KO.

osk has KO'd 158 unique players as of February 13, 2023.[1]

Discontinued badges

With the release of Beta on July 26, 2024,[19] three badges previously attainable in 40 Lines (as well as Custom for Secret Grade) became unobtainable. They were replaced by achievements with the same requirements. Some achievements show more information, such as clear time or relative ranking compared to all players with the achievement.

Secret Grade

The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge.

The unique confirmation pop-up for Secret Grade that appears on the bottom-right of the screen whenever its requirements are fulfilled.

This was the first badge players could obtain without manual addition from moderators or administrators, being added on February 9, 2020 alongside the 0.2.2 update.[20] To have obtained it, one must have built a Secret Grade pattern in any online or solo mode that does not have undos, e.g. Zen or a custom room's Practice mode. Solo Custom games configured to have no gravity, no line limit, or over 20 board height are still accepted for the badge, and are a common way to complete the achievement. TETR.IO checks for the following criteria to decide the validity of a Secret Grade pattern:

  1. The pattern is similar to a > shape rather than a < shape
  2. Rows 1–19 are fully filled except for the defining diagonal holes in the pattern itself.
  3. The leftmost block on row 20 is filled

If the aforementioned requirements are satisfied, topping out, running the clock out in timed objective modes, or finishing the lines cleared requirement will end the game and show the confirmation pop-up, thus, Secret Grade runs done in 40 LINES or BLITZ can be uploaded as public replays.

As of December 5, 2020, 2,075 players held this badge.[8] As of March 7, 2022, along with the publication of 5,000,000 BLAST, up to 9,173 players had the badge.[12] On February 13, 2023, there were 13,870 issues of the badge.[1] The first player to gain this badge is Omio9999.[9][21] Upon the release of Beta, live information of the total achievement count can be found in-game or on TETRA CHANNEL.[22]

10PC

The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge.
The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge.

Previously the third badge added to the game obtainable without intervention, this badge was added on June 2, 2020 alongside the 3.1.0 update.[23] To have received it, one must have cleared ten All Clears in one 40 Lines run. This was the second-rarest badge one could obtain without moderator or administrator intervention, followed by the Number 1 badge. Unlike Jstris's PC mode, players can place above the fourth row, allowing for DPC loops to be used when accompanied with two-line PCs. Due to the popularity of this badge, former world record holder for TETR.IO's Blitz and Jstris's PC mode[24] JimothyJimothy made a specialized site with a specific section titled 10 PC Guide. The only conditions the game checks for when validating a run are:

  1. The run was played in 40 Lines.
  2. The replay was verified and submitted to online servers.
  3. The run ended with greater than or equal to 10 All Clears.

Additionally, the run doesn't need to finish on an All Clear, meaning 2-line PCs could form leeway for other methods of finishing.

On December 5, 2020, 146 players had the badge.[8] On March 7, 2022, 743 players had the badge.[12] On February 13, 2023, 1,359 players had the badge.[1] The first player to get this badge is Caboozled_Pie.[9][25]

20TSD

The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge.
The badge awarded to any player who completes this challenge.

20TSD is currently the last Solo badge to be added, being a response to persistent calls for a 20TSD mode similar to the one found in Jstris.[citation needed] This badge was added on September 28, 2020 along with the 5.0.0 update.[26] Soon afterwards, someone guessed the URL used for the badge graphic due to the popularity of the request at the time.[citation needed] The objectives for this badge to be awarded were:

  1. The run was played in 40 Lines.
  2. The replay was verified and submitted to online servers.
  3. The replay ended with 20 T-Spin Doubles and no other types of line clears except for Mini T-Spin Doubles.

Many players obtained this badge with setups such as Mechanical TSD v3 or Reliable TSD into Mechanical TSD v2, allowing memorized repeated sequences. Other popular methods include LST stacking or freestyling without a designated pattern.

On December 5, 2020, 449 players had attained the badge.[8] On March 7, 2022, 4,062 players had attained the badge.[12] On February 13 2023, 7,595 players had attained the badge, making it the second-most obtained badge at that time.[1] The first player to obtain this badge is RZA.[9][27]

Exclusive badges

Similarly to the "obtainable badges", these "exclusive badges" are also layed out from left to right and in some cases top to bottom. These are standard badges that are notable for requiring a moderator or administrator to manually add them from the admin panel.

Miscellaneous

Most of these badges are given out based on the badgeholder's account age, although there are a few exceptions.

Founder

The badge exclusively given to osk

An image of osk in the Quick Play player list. They have a solid color tag similarly colored and designed as the Founder badge in place of a regular Verified checkmark.
In addition to the special graphics shown on the player list, osk also has an "admin green" playername, as well as the optional ability to make special "admin announcements" with that same shade of green.

This badge has existed since the beginning of TETR.IO, and is presumably the very first badge to exist. It signifies the badgeholder is the creator of the game.

As of current, only two players have the Founder badge.[1] The first of which is osk and can be viewed on their userpage[1]. The second badge holder is user KAGARI and can be viewed on her userpage[2]. Despite the badge having the same Founder design, if hovered over, the tooltip will reveal the badge's text as "Co-Founded TETR.IO" instead.

INDEV

The badge given to INDEV testers.
The badge given to INDEV testers.

The INDEV development phase likely began on February 19, 2019[28] and ran until the start of the INFDEV phase on January 31, 2020.[29] During it, close friends would test TETR.IO privately while osk geared up for a more public release. It's likely this badge also existed before the Number 1 badge, however these badges lack a timestamp.

As of February 13, 2023, there are 7 INDEV badgeholders.[1] Even though this badge was added to every INDEV tester at the same time, user GEBRUIKERSNAAM[3] was likely the technical first due to his User ID.[9]

INFDEV

The badge given to INFDEV testers.
The badge given to INFDEV testers.

Similar to the INDEV badge, this badge was given out to every account registered from the start of INFDEV on January 31, 2020,[29] to the end of INFDEV and the enabling of fully public account creation on March 22nd, 2020.[30]

This is also the first badge to give badgeholders special access to something regular players couldn't without paying for the Supporter role on osk's Patreon. Specifically, before the Tetra League was public for all to access, it was limited to players with the INFDEV badge and Supporters.[31] Two weeks later, the Tetra League was made available to the general public.[32]

In the blog post that started off this development phase, there was already an INFDEV icon long before the badge was released. This logo would eventually be polished and end up as the finished badge graphic.

As of February 13, 2023, there were 2,126 former INFDEV testers with the badge,[1] two more than when the first badge values were revealed.[8] Similarly to the INDEV badge, the technical first was likely user GEBRUIKERSNAAM[4]. User flash[5] was the technical first non-INFDEV tester to have the badge.

P.O.O.P.

The badge given to user "ANIMECAKE" exclusively.

The P.O.O.P. badge is an inside joke left at its logical end. A search for "poop badge" on the TETR.IO Discord shows the first public reference coming from moderator alcazar#0078 demanding a "POOP BADGE" for AmijoKaegger#8277 with a ping towards osk#9999 on June 14, 2020. One day later, AmijoKaegger#8277, also known as AnimeCake, would make the announcement that the P.O.O.P. badge had arrived, then would follow up a day later with picture evidence of the badge, confirming its existence on June 16, 2020 as the badge lacks a timestamp. The name of the badge is an acronym, standing for "Pioneer Of Our Place", being given to AnimeCake for being the "first ever player on TETR.IO" as explained on its hover text. Only one person has obtained this badge, and it likely falls under the "Other badges" category on the badge sheet.[8]

Huge Supporter

The badge given to huge supporters.
The badge given to huge supporters.

This badge was confirmed to exist sometime before December 4, 2020,[9] when user Zudo#0800 made a public request for ingame user Archina's information with Hiyajo Maho#2356's ">tetr" command on the TETR.IO Discord server. Zudo was a Supporter at the time, so a rolling theory explains that osk may have tipped off Supporters in the exclusive #supporter-lounge channel leading up to when the command was utilized.[citation needed] This badge was first given to user Archina[6] for an unknown amount of donations.[9] Archina was a supporter at the time, and is included in the special thanks section of TETR.IO.

Arisa Ichigaya is the second known player to receive the Huge Supporter badge. Unlike Archina's badge, this badge came with a local news announcement. Arisa Ichigaya would go on to recreate their account on July 18, deleting the badge as well.

Starting December 25, 2020, only one player had this badge. Most likely categorized under "Other badges" on the badge list,[8] the badge itself can be viewed on Archina's userpage[7]. Parallel to his userpage, beginning on December 20, 2021, top members on TETR.IO's Special Thanks section in the CONFIG menu, a list sorted by total amount spent on TETR.IO Supporter, also recieved it. As of writing only three new badges exist in this form. They can be viewed on the userpages of either BARHO, RINSE, or ZUDO. These badges are added real-time as soon as a member passes an unknown cutoff for total support, measured in TETR.IO's CONFIG. The latter of these members, user ZUDO, had confirmed that this cutoff surpasses at least one thousand euros.[33]

Early Supporter

The badge given to early supporters.
The badge given to early supporters.

The Early Supporter badge was automatically awarded to every registered user who had subscribed to osk's Patreon page regardless of amount donated, before the 6.0.0 update on January 31, 2021.[34] This badge exists due to the platform switch osk underwent, swapping Patreon out for an ingame system backed by the oskVault, which is currently powered by Xsolla.[35] Ingame rewards also received a price cut. Specifically, the "Deca tier" costed 10 euros a month, but now the ingame rewards only cost 5 pounds a month (4 pounds a month if bought in bulk or gifted to another user).

The badge itself is modeled to resemble the Greek symbol, as Patreon was used and subsequently replaced during TETR.IO's Alpha period.

As of February 13, 2023, 354 users held this badge.[1] It is likely user GEBRUIKERSNAAM was the technical first, and can be viewed on his userpage[8].

Bug Bounty

The "bounty" itself, awarded to players who responsibly report vital issues.
The "bounty" itself, awarded to players who responsibly report vital issues.

This badge is TETR.IO's cost-effective way of rewarding players who find harmful bugs in TETR.IO which may be abused by potential bad actors and responsibly report the exploit directly to osk through appropriate communication channels without abusing the reported issue for personal gain or publicizing potential exploits others may abuse.[9] Such exploits may involve forms of arbitrary code execution, which could allow running code on a target's machine to gain unauthorized access to their TETR.IO account, or sending maliciously created data to the TETR.IO servers rendering all connected clients softlocked or crashed, or causing the servers to be temporarily offline.

Historically, of the few users to have obtained this badge, several additional perks have also followed the badge. Such as:

  1. A variable duration of ingame TETR.IO Supporter, free of charge, gifted by osk himself.
  • According to Discord user "Тhе buttег mаn bоbi#4190", the pay for his found exploits totaled up to three years of supporter.[36] TETR.IO Supporter is valued at 4 euros per month when gifted, thus BOBI got €144 worth of Supporter.
  1. The exclusive "Contributor" role on the TETR.IO Discord server.[36]

These special game-breaking bugs do not show up often in TETR.IO. The bounty badge was added on June 27, 2021, however the badge was retroactively given to user SZY for reporting an exploit during INFDEV, before this badge existed. At least ten users hold this bounty,[37] of which eight are known. In chronological sequence, these users are BOBS, SZY, MANABENDER, KAMINARI14, ZUDO, AZURAHORIZONS, OPYUWUWU, and ALHANALEM.

Competition Badges

This section needs expansion. You can help TetrisWiki by expanding it.
Specifically information is needed on:
  • The Underdogs Cup
  • The TeamTSD TETR.IO Cup
  • Hard Drop Super Lobbies
    • Revision 1(2021)
    • Revision 2(2022)
  • The TETR.IO Latam tourney
  • The physical LAN WPL Championships
  • The MMC x PK TETR.IO Journey
    • As well as its several "Super Lobby" variants(two in total)
  • The PK Star Cup
    • Star Cup Constellation
  • TeamTSD's Over/Under competition
  • The SFU Raccoon Cup
  • The Tetralympics
  • The VTT Comet Open
  • TeamTSD's "Rengevolution"
  • The 5,000,000 Blast competition
  • The TAWS Charity event

This section goes into detail regarding TETR.IO's many officially partnered third-party tournaments, which contain badges for the top three placements as well as an additional badge for the winner of certain Twitch chat participation campaigns when applicable. Most of these tournament organizers have ran several tournaments under the same series, meaning for example multiple people hold badges for placing first in separate "Underdogs Cup" tournaments.

Over 525 "Event badges" have been awarded as of February 13th, 2023.[1]

Garbo Gamble Cup

From left to right, the badges awarded for placing 2nd, 1st, 3rd, and the badge for the winning Gambler of the Garbo Gamble Cup.

The "Garbo Gamble Cup" was the first partnered TETR.IO tourney, bringing four exclusive badges for the top three players of the tournament, as well as an extra badge for the Twitch user to win the "Gambling Competition". It was announced on June 2, 2020 and took place on June 7, 2020.[38] The tournament featured 132 players,[39] and took place for around five hours. The replay of the tournament can be viewed on garbocan_'s Twitch channel, split up into two parts[10][11]. The first part is spent largely fixing technical issues with the Twitch bot GGC staff utilized. The first match can be viewed nearly twenty-two minutes in[12].

The actual games would take place in two-player custom rooms with default settings. The selected formats were best-of-thirteen (first to seven) and double-elimination. Every player is allowed to lose up to two sets before being fully eliminated.

Over the course of the tournament, a free betting game was played by players in Twitch chat. Every user in Twitch chat would start with 1000 "chips" free of charge, then, when a two-player 1v1 match would begin, players would bet their chips on the winner for either a payout or a loss. The bet chips are multiplied by a variable factor decided by how many chips are bet on the opposing player or the "predicted odds" of a player winning. If the bet is correct, the betted chips are then added directly to that user's chip balance, otherwise the betted chips are lost. If a player ends up "bankrupt" with zero chips, a "Welfare Check" worth 100 chips is payed out to the bankrupt user, allowing them to continue making bets.

The Garbo Gamble Cup was only hosted once. As such, only four badges for this tournament exist, and of those four, one has been destroyed. The top three and the gambling champion would receive badges as well as prize money, as shown below:

An image of the announcement garbo made in the fourwi.de Discord server above an archived photo of CABOOZLEDPIE's player card at the time.
  1. ajanba: 619.93$ in cash, as well as the First Place badge for the tournament. Later on, ajanba deleted his account, thus deleting the GGC #1 badge as well. However, the badge graphic is still hosted on TETR.IO[13].
  2. rideris: 247.90$ in cash, as well as the Second Place badge for the tournament. The badge can be viewed on their userpage[14].
  3. qmk: 123.98$ in cash, as well as the Third Place badge for the tournament. The badge can be viewed on their userpage[15].
  • realkokon: 175$ in cash (originally 247.90$, although he declined the full sum and left 72.90$ to Garbo) and the Gambling Champion badge. The badge can be viewed on his userpage[16]

realkokon is user Caboozled_Pie's father, and had passed the badge to his son for a short period of time after the tournament ended. Days later, realkokon made an ingame account named "KOKON" and the badge was transferred back to KOKON due to him being the original winner.

WPL Tetr.io Open

From left to right, the badges awarded for placing #2nd, #1st, #3rd, in the World Puzzle League.

Despite predating the Garbo Gamble Cup, with WPL Tetr.io Open being established on April 12, 2020, it wouldn't receive special badges for the top three placements until their fifth TETR.IO tournament announced on June 8, 2020,[40] and hosted on June 13.[41] A recap of the final set played on that tournament is available on the official World Puzzle League YouTube channel[17].

All matches were played in custom 1v1 rooms with most of the stock settings, aside from "Gravity Margin Time" being changed from 7200 to 3600 and "Gravity Increase" changed from 0.00325 to 0.0025 later, being done to mirror Tetra League settings.[41] The tournament was mostly played with the "First To 7" goal, however for the Winners Semifinals, Losers Quarterfinals, and any match played these two it would be a "First To 11" match. This tournament would also be played in a double-elimination format, and featured 174 contestants in total. Of those 174, the top three were:

  1. ajanba: First Place. ajanba deleted his account after obtaining this badge, thus deleting the badge as well. However, since the WPL is a reoccurring tournament, there are more people with the WPL #1 badge.
  2. qmk[18]: Second Place.
  3. KABUTOMUSIAAAAA/gamaover[19], otherwise known as Kazu: Third Place.

Notably, the two badges linked above contain timestamps, whereas other First Place badges from the same organization lack them.

On June 3, 2020, the sixth WPL TETR.IO tourney would be played.[42] A recap of the grand finals can be viewed from the official WPL YouTube channel[20]. It had the same settings as its predecessor played last month. 154 players competed, with the top three being:

  1. FireStorm[21]: First Place
  2. qmk[22]: Second Place. As a repeated Second Place win, qmk kept their badge from the last tournament.
  3. puyodialgao7, otherwise known as Diao: Third Place. This account was also deleted for unknown reasons after the match was played.

Later that month, on June 18, 2020, the seventh WPL Open would be played.[43] It featured the same ruleset as the fifth and sixth tournaments played weeks before. Similarly, a recap of the grand finals can be viewed on WPL's YouTube channel[23]. There were 126 participants, with the top three being:

  1. FireStorm[24]: First Place. There was no new badge since the placement was repeated.
  2. cz0402[25]: Second Place
  3. qmk[26]: Third Place. qmk placed lower than last time, so there was no new badge.

On August 15, 2020, the eighth WPL for TETR.IO would take place.[44] At a glance, this tournament copies the ruleset of the previously defined tournaments, however it includes a direction to turn off the "Scale Garbage Travel Speed" option. At the time, osk was running a test with differing garbage speeds.[45] Later on, osk would remove the feature.[46] The grand finals can be viewed on WPL's YouTube channel[27]. This tournament had 147 contestants, of which the top three were:

  1. ningcha, credited as Diao again: First Place. This is the second account credited as being "Diao" in the results annoucements that has been deleted.
  2. cz0402[28]: Second Place. This is the second time cz0402 obtained Second Place, thus a duplicate badge wasn't awarded.
  3. FireStorm[29]: Third Place. FireStorm already had the first place badge, so no new badges were added.

On September 19, 2020, the ninth WPL would be hosted.[47] The settings were the same as last time, and there's a video recap of the grand finals on WPL's YouTube channel[30]. Out of 150 players, the top three were:

  1. majimedewanai, credited as Diao again: First place. Diao would again delete this account, removing the exclusive badge attached to it.
  2. qmk[31]: Second Place. A repeat of the first time qmk got 2nd place many months ago. Their badge is still timestamped from that tourney
  3. ZeroT: Third Place[32].

Finally, on the October 23, 2020, the 10th, for now at least, the last WPL was hosted.[48] It features one neat addition to the rulebook, imposing a "First To 11 and Win By 2" on the Winners Semifinals and Losers Quarterfinals and on every other match played after. Another recap of the grand finals was uploaded to WPL's YouTube channel[33]. Out of 164 total players, here are your top three:

  1. cz0402: First Place[34]. This "upgrades" his Second Place badge into a First Place one.
  2. FireStorm: Second Place[35]. As he already had the First Place badge, no new badge was given out here either.
  3. PekoDialga0, otherwise known as Diao: Third Place. As said before, account PekoDialga0 doesn't quite exist anymore, as the account was deleted.

Hard Drop Open XII

From left to right, the badges awarded for placing #2nd, #1st, #3rd, in the Hard Drop Open XII.

This tourney was the twelfth in the long running "Hard Drop Open" series of tournements which started in July 19th, 2009 as a tournement hosted on the Blockbox fangame.[49] On June the 9th, 2020, the "Hard Drop Open XII" event would be announced via Twitter.[50] It would be another double-elimination tourney hosted on the 20th later that month, featuring entirely default settings and a First To 7 format during the earlier rounds, and a First To 10 format during, and after, the Round 5 upper bracket and Round 7 lower bracket.[51] If you're interested in viewing a recap of the tourney hosted live on Twitch, you can obtain such a thing from Hard Drop's official Twitch channel[36]. A total of 256 players would attend this event. Of them, here are the top three who earned special badges for accomplishing such a feat:

  1. Calcu1ation: First Place[37].
  2. FireStorm: Second Place[38].
  3. qmk: Third Place[39].

This tournament would also feature a "Special Event", which ended up being a "Super Lobby", such as the ones previously hosted by the same organization on Tetris 99. It was entirely open to the public watching the stream, as the room itself was actually "private" ingame with the direct link and room ID being shared through Twitch chat. 168 players would join the room, but due to server constraints and no optimised system in place for such huge rooms, 42 people would disconnect before the game even started leaving 126 players to battle it out. Of them, jason0107 would win the room alongside a cash prize of 100$. There was a badge graphic created for winning this room and it was touted as a possible reward for winning on the Hard Drop Discord server, but it was never added to jason0107's TETR.IO profile due to an oversight from either Blink, the founder of Hard Drop, or osk, the guy in charge of adding the badge in the first place. A replay of this special lobby can be found on the same VOD as the tourney itself, six hours and twenty-five minutes in[40].


Infinite Finesse

The first Infinite Finesse tournament to give out badges was Infinite Finesse IV (also known as Infinite Finesse: Passthrough, or just IFT (tournament)) on October 17, 2021, the fourth tournament in a running series of tournaments by Nysdey and Keshy. The Infinite Finesse tournaments mainly feature various gimmicks or formats other than the standard 1v1, such as teams formats or joining a team to give one side in Grand Finals an advantage by a score handicap.

Super Streamer Lobby

The Super Streamer Lobby badge was obtained by winning once in the lobby. Same event that took place on Saturday, December 2, 2023 on wyliecanttwitch's Twitch channel being this host it was an event where he what was sought was to bring together the community of Tetrio creators. The Wumbo player was the first to obtain this badge.

Santa Lobby

The Santa Lobby badge was obtained by winning a game once. This event took place on Saturday, December 23, 2023 on the HardDrop Twitch channel, hosting blink, a Christmas event to share the magic of Christmas. The Gyozan player was the first to obtain this badge.
