I think you misunderstood the meaning of the final message. The reason it was a tie is not because the two runs were so close in IGT, but instead because of complications with retiming the runs, leading to evidence that could have pointed to either run being the faster one. Sorry if this is a bit nit-picky, but otherwise good video!

[@TrickShotKoopa]

Yeah, the discord message doesn't say anything about the run's being the exact same time. I don't think it's nit-picky.

[@bradd8607]

Good comment, I think you’re right. The runs aren’t the exact same time but rather they are so both so close that either could be faster when measuring the in game times.

[@zygimantaspilipas4267]

Yo its the guy that has like 300 likes on zylenox's video

[@dilloncammack7642]

I liked the video until the end. The end, being miss leading and false. It will give a false sense of what really happened to people who actually would be more interested in the truth. Just a thought

[@Kortes1]

Also during the pause, Zylenox doesn't calculate the estimated location of the stronghold, just a 60-degree angle from where the first eye pointed. Well, this might be nit-picky... The pause was after throwing the first eye, not the second. The video is edited as well. Wondering why...

[@hajoyeve6186]

I don't think he will ever make a minecraft video, he's said he only wants to make videos on games that haven't really been made into videos yet and games he enjoys/is familiar with.

[@TheWeeklyThing]

TBH I hope he doesn't make MC videos cuz if he does they'll be fantastic and he's like the number one channel I'm trying to emulate when I make these lol

[@Shmaiex]

I think the only thing more insane than this is the 3 second world record trade between Illumina and Benex. The most scripted event that has ever happened in speedrunning.

[@christopherjohnson3464]

Scripted? Like dreams manhunts?
