This is not the story of a Minecraft player who possibly cheated to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record, and not the story of their friend who also did not cheat to get a faked Minecraft speedrun world record. Fake Minecraft speedruns are insane, almost as insane as this description! If you want to see a fake cheated Minecraft 1.16 world record speedrun, this is not the video for you!

i missed the fact that my run was the first one to beat Dream - instant upgrade to S Tier in my eyes

[@Survivor_051]

Hey man its the time YOU had the world record. honestly if were to have a terribly played run but have it be WR I would 100% make it my favorite run. the people watching dont feel the “Wow this really just happened i’m the world’s best” feeling!

Illumina should at least be A Tier for using no F3

[@baketlist5003]

Yeah. I thought his run was S tier or at least A for sure.

[@ahmadsalman9474]

And no fullbright too

[@garrylarry890]

Broke the biggest barrier. Used DIVINE TRAVEL… never been used in a world record, absolutely amazing run.

[@ryancflam]

Illumina’s wr deserves more. No F3, gamma 1, fortress first, this dude’s a terachad

[@mee14159]

I agree with pretty much everything except WHY illumina's WR isnt S tier At least A My man was the only gigachad not using f3 in the whole leaderboard, the seed wasnt great and he did fortress first

[@wehaveculture]

yeah. also i dont think that 13:48, 12:09 and 8:37 were as good as sizzlers 19:41 was. i mean, that guy was really cracked and his crafting skills at the time were sooo good so b tier only for sizzler and doog

[@wehaveculture]

@@tobijanssen1518 if we talk about achievements, yeah, crookst had more, but in raw skill feinberg is best in both 1.16 rsg and aa. of course, he is not best in other categories, like rayoh and magnetic in ssg, or ontricus in 1.15, but there has never been someone like feinberg in mcsr

[@GuffGuffGuffy]

Before watching this, imma just say Zylenox's Current WR is my top of the tier list. Obvs it's the fastest run and sub8 is one of the craziest barriers (I think sub10 was the biggest barrier) but also the reaction from Zylenox and having Facecam just makes it a lot more watchable, fact it was on stream is cool too for the people there it was even more momentous and opening up to LAN to have people join that world was so wholesome at the end too haha. Legendary

[@NovemberOrWhatever]

It's nice to revisit all the older WRs. I'm tempted to go rewatch a lot of them

[@tnt_gaming21]

cubes 9:08 FeelsStrongMan

[@therealvek3109]

I love how the record that ignited the pause abuse debate was zylenox and not Brentilda LMAO

[@tnt_gaming21]

it definitely started before brent. remember how much pausing was in fe’s wr?

[@sharpieman2035]

Brent and Silver’s runs are what forced us to change it. It had been a discussion for a long time before then.

[@isadorereaud7197]

Love this video going over the history of world records. Would love to see this for each category. Great work.

[@patopotatotomato]

The crazy Minecraft speedrun week is so underrated. Illumina's No F3 run, to me, was unheard of, let alone getting the world record. And relative unknown TwoLetterName beating possibly the best Minecraft speedrunner not once, but TWICE in such a short amount of time with a pretty significant time difference should be no less than A tier (but obviously I'd give them S tier).

[@gavinoloupe135]

I love you're tier list videos. Just watched the update list last night lol

[@astraf2984]

I will never forget Mynski...

[@Why2k4]

Mynski really got wiped from history, it’s so sad cause it’s such a unique run!

[@aryanmukherjee5679]

Hi, nice video! I feel like we should pay respects to other notable runs like Mynski's rejected world record as well! Just a thought. Maybe you can make a tier list of faked Minecraft world records in the future as well?

[@sophie427]

aw this would be so fun !! rejects and fakes are so memorable, for better or worse

[@Sheep.]

Illumina's run is an S-Tier run and no one can convince me otherwise.

[@_Neolidas]

The yearly thing, glad you're back and I'm sure you'll upload eventually

[@enook]

for some reason i found this really funny to watch your reactions

[@tkienjoyer]

Illumina deserves a tier for no f3 imo

[@boyusir_1003_]

A tier agree

[@boyusir_1003_]

and Nicetwice's deserves B tier for me

[@kesuraii1198]

Keep up the great work! You are truly an inspiration!

[@emlo73]

good to see the overview

[@jyotsnakharat3271]

The video we never expected but definitely needed

[@madeleineruusu]

Brentilda's and Cube's world records are the top of the list for me, partly because I really got into the community around the time Brentilda's wr was set. I also just loved rewatching Cube's run!

[@ryanjin2623]

damn this is a crazy vid thank you so much you should definitely teach your partner how to speedrun so you can feature her in a video!

[@notyarrs]

Awkward start, 10/10 would watch again.

[@ZitMaGaming]

nicetwice's 21:08 is so criminally underrated it's crazy

[@samschellhase8831]

the couriway video is the reason I started watching couriway's channel, and I'll go back to that video every once in a while because I think it's quite funny, in retrospect, how TWT thought it was a fake, or a cheated, run, because of all the new techniques and mechanics that he used

[@axlroc]

Ah yes the monthly thing my fav channel

[@expiall8496]

I’ve been here since couriways 14:36 and I’m very grateful I clicked his video, he got me into speedrunning

[@Dan-tw5qb]

Illumina and S*zzler are both A tier for me. Illumina for being the last no f3, and S*zzler for just being iconic at the time regardless of what happened after. Brentilda deserves to be alone in icon status though.

[@snnk1812]

I drifted away from mcsr, can I know what happened with s*zzler?

[@wehaveculture]

@@snnk1812 nothing special, just being cancelled with no reason

[@Flashspeedruns1]

Sad this isn’t getting views, it’s a great vid!

[@sharpieman2035]

The only S tier runs should be Korb’s 14:56 and Brent’s 9:36. Nothing else is comparable. Korb’s run is the one that truly ushered in hypermodern and forced meta adaptation, Couri’s just was the first example of someone doing it.

[@6eyedbird]

I remember like over 2 years ago thinking sub 8 was the barrier with 10+ obby blacksmith, completable ruined portal + looting 3, perfect classic trades or wf enderman looting hunting, perfect blind, perfect perch, etc.

[@tnt_gaming21]

yeah, crazy how even sub 6 could be possible with stuff like that

[@werdwerdus]

always enjoyable videos

[@imbo2330]

honestly the 12:09 by tln is S for me. Love that run.

[@GuffGuffGuffy]

I agree! That is S tier while his first run is not B for me... Ocean WR was nice but it was common meta lower down on leaderboards, Having 2 World records IN A ROW makes it way more momentous (WITHIN 24 HOURS!?) And also... the music choices were superb haha

[@swag1707]

I had no idea about the sizzler drama until this video wow

[@FishEyess]

pretty sure the age of consent was 16 in his country and the girl was 17. Dunno why he got cancelled, no laws were broken

[@lemonysucksatlife]

​@@FishEyess 💀 Bro what is wrong with people This is what happens after covid, people have no clue on how relationships work and just look to twitter and youtube for advice from people who also don't go outside Im 19 in uni and people in my class range from 17 to 20, everyone here is a grown ass adult with more or less a career plan and i better not hear otherwise

[@lemonysucksatlife]

Ok so I've looked into it a bit, and am more confused on what his age was and what the messages were Some evidence seems to have been deleted (?) From what I've seen i absolutely wouldn't call him a grommer or a sexual abuser in any way but the guy was very weird and misogynistic so i guess it's good that he's not part of mcsr anymore

[@sharpieman2035]

He cancelled himself, it was weird

[@Vagabondenjoyer9]

You should do an almost world record runs tierlist

[@illogicalstanley4976]

I haven't watched the full video yet and would like to see how my two predictions go. My favorite mc speed run of all time is TheeSizzler's, 11:07. That run has such great entertainment value, it has so many twists and turns and drama and intrigue and it's just so fun to watch. And the other one I'd put in S would be the most recent world record because it is in every way the best mc speed run of all time and I just can't believe how good it is. It has two and only two mistakes. Are you kidding me?

[@illogicalstanley4976]

Alright I just got a little further into the video, I don't know what Sizzler did and I don't really want to know.

[@illogicalstanley4976]

WHAT! I thought it was going to be bumped down because of controversy, but D!? Are you kidding me! The dong though!

[@illogicalstanley4976]

Oh I forgot brentilda used divine. Yea, That's like the best speed running strat of all time. S.

[@illogicalstanley4976]

I don't understand bumping illumina because one person in the same tier had better mechanics, but other then that, fair.

[@danielpaiva5362]

Yes, even considering his personal life I could never put it below A tier. The DONG! The death! The drama!

[@tariffictypist7372]

4:25 when you forget about that 10 player coop run from 5 years ago that was a sub 20

[@winsloww2669]

Illumina’s 13:53 should be S tier. No F3, Fortress first, one of the earliest runs to use Ninjabrain Treasure, awful blind, No gold armor in Bastion, basalt delta, and he still got sub 14. Visually Appealing as hell; all of Illumina’s movements are smooth. As Couriway put it, “The most Alpha run ever” A classic enter in the middle of a hypermodern meta. Illumina is the original Sigma. S tier.

[@zSPC]

Great vid

[@raiyanshsharma4317]

the weekly thing has now officialy become the monthly thing

[@dvxv4016]

if crookst got his 7:2X it still would have been WR till this day. Considering how much other runners improved, i can not imagine what his gameplay would look like now if he continued grinding

I would separate the art from the artist and bump up both Sizzler runs one tier at least. The entertainment value is just unmatched.

for me zylenox is clearly S-tier, this was the best played wr, no errors, perfect mechanics et game sense

[@SmileyMPV]

Gonna be honest, I feel like the only world records out of these that I will remember are Couriway, Illumina, Brentilda and Zylenox.

Wait, what did Sizzler do?

[@Survivor_051]

including young girls is all i will say

[@1amputovananoha311]

He was chatting inappropriately with a girl who was 16 or 17. He also wrote whole google doc about it including all logs. Search it up for more info. In my opinion it was certainly not as bad as it was framed.

[@tomekczerepinski1860]

The best one by far is Brentilda 9 :36

[@aqars3041]

ILLUMINA!!!! His no f3 run as D tier??? Absolute robbery I love reignex but you should put his down and illuminas up in my opinion. Also mynski? Even if it was fake I think you should rate it for the culture
