Hi All! The support on this video has been absolutely insane, so thank you all so much! I would like to mention that the record in this level has been improved since the making of this video and is now a 14.774 by Xdxboxjaja. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKCwfHiubs6BbMk Additionally, I recommend watching around the first 4 minutes or so of this video at 1.5x speed, as my narration work is extremely slow and monotone; I have improved since then :D Red Ball Beginner Speedrun Tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX2pp2yrf7x3bMk Red Ball Speedrunning Discord: discord.gg/ZYAwF2j My Twitch Channel: www.twitch.tv/itsmaximum My Discord Server: discord.gg/VgdepznZQT
