Update: Mynski’s run has been rejected due to lack of evidence of prior runs. This doesn’t mean it was faked, but the verifiers didn’t have enough evidence to verify it.

If a run can be rejected solely on that one aspect, especially a run as significant as a world record run, then they should definitely make at the very least a public statement saying that it is part of the requirements to have previous experience.

[@manuerre.5613]

Not all people like to stream or be recognized for speedrunning. Some people just do it because they found it fun. I can see this runner speedrunning because he liked it, and when he started to get good times, he begun to record them. And he just happened to have enough luck to get a WR, so he submitted it. In a category like RSG, you can't call someone a cheater just because they were lucky.

Honestly it's probably just someone who didn't feel like submitting a run they didn't think was world record. They probably speedrun mostly for fun, and don't make videos or stream cause it's not their thing.

It's dumb that 'it's a new account' is a 'reason' that it might be faked. Like, if I got a wr, I would create an account and post immediately. Not much thought put into that one.

[@mihaiioc.3809]

Well first of all you can't get a WR first try, so that means a lot of practice time, by the time you can attempt a world record run you should be able to secure sub 20s and even more impressive personal bests, recording them would give you validity for later runs wich you are going to want in order to avoid suspicion in case you actually break the world record, common sense. I hope he didn't cheat and also believe he didn't, but being sus when you are not the impostor is the bigest mistake you can make in any situation.

[@arvindmarthi4484]

9:49 you mentioned that Mynski didn't know where the quadrants were. This is actually not true as he broke some of a block when he entered the nether. The block-breaking animation shows cardinal directions and can be used to locate quadrants. I've seen this strat trending in many no F3 runs, mainly Illumina's WR. This strat isn't too precise, but we can safely assume that Mynski got a rough idea of quadrants by partially breaking that block.

fun fact illumina actually got a 4 bed in his old 15:48 pb, but the video doesn't exist anymore because he forgot to save the vod(first stream on his no mic account). i think there might be clips of the one cycle though

[@BlueCyann]

Pretty sure there is a clip of that, yeah. God I miss that run, it's one of the coolest runs I've seen. The no-F3 4 bed was the least of it. He went to the bastion without an iron pick (kinda like Sizzler in his WR). Hit a really short blind from a location I STILL wish we'd have heard the explanation for*, saw the stronghold down a cave without having to finish triangulating, it was just cool. And it's all completely lost, save for the ending. Very sad. It's one of those I probably would have watched a dozen times if a video had been made. * He hit up the blaze spawner that was closest to the bastion, traveled some ten seconds to the second one to get its first spawn cycle, then returned to the first for the rest of his blaze rods and built the blind portal there. He must have had some feeling that the blind was better at the first spawner in order to have made the return trip, but we never got to hear why. He came on mic after the PB ready to play back the run and talk about it, and then there was nothing there.

If someone people in the 100m sprint community had never heard of posted a video of themselves running 100m in a time that beat the world record, do you think people in the community would accept the video and say the person was the new fastest runner? I mean, maybe they ran a lot and this was the first video they'd uploaded, and they'd simply never competed live before? What about if the person was wearing shoes that weren't optimal for running, yet beat the record anyway? What if, because they were an unknown sprinter to the community, they had nothing to lose if they were caught cheating? Would you accept it? How about if the current world record holder, or 2nd place or other established sprinter, uploaded a video of themselves beating the world record, would the community accept that? What about if it happened in front of a live audience? And they were wearing shoes that gave them optimal grip on the track? Someone who's sprints had been verified time and time again and had an entire career to lose if they were found to be cheating? Would you accept it? Now obviously they aren't great analogies, but I think they work well enough for this scenario.

[@GokuDoku4]

It might not be fake at all, nobody here believes its a fake run. The only thing off about it, is that its the first ever run they recorded, uploaded and submitted to the site. Which then makes it look *suspicious* because the moderators need valid proof that yes this guy has been on leaderboards before, got some of his runs verified and only then would the world record get verified. There have been way too many times when people have submitted their first ever run which was a world record but after inspecting it they either found out there were things that seemed way too odd and reject the run or the run would be completely fine and all but due to no past runs they could be risking a cheater letting them into the leaderboards.

We had a school assembly today, and the speaker was talking about bullying. The speech was pretty boring, but there came a point in his presentation where he said "I know there are some students among us who have been subject to bullying." Honestly, I couldn't believe my ears. I thought, "There is no way the speaker just said Among Us." I decided to troll the speaker by standing up and yelling "When the imposter is sus!" while making a huge grin (just like in the memes). To my surprise, no one laughed. Everyone fell dead silent and looked at me. The speaker said "I'm sorry, what was that?" I decided to explain to everyone what I was talking about, and said "Get it guys? It's from Among Us." Still, no one understood the reference. I turned towards my friend Caleb (I know him from band), and said "You get it, right? It's from among us!" However, he had his head buried into his lap. I looked at my friend Dalton (He plays the trumpet in band, just like I do), and yelled "Dalton, do you get the joke????" He didn't even make eye contact. Suddenly, the assistant principal came up behind me and said "Please sit down, this is a school assembly." I screamed back at her "SCHOOL ASSEMBLY?? MORE LIKE EMERGENCY MEETING!" I then naruto ran down to the stage, pointed at the assistant principal, and said "SHE'S SUS!!! I SAW HER FAKE A SCAN IN MEDBAY!" Still, no one laughed. I then said "I'm not the imposter, I was in vents the whole time!!" (referencing a meme). No one understood the reference. I saw people whispering to each other, but no one laughed. I then made a face resembling the "big chungus" meme, and said "You guys don't get it?? That's not very Wholesome 100." When I realized no one was laughing, I yelled "Don't any of you guys use reddit?" The audience was dead silent, until someone yelled "Sit down!" (which was very rude and not wholesome) I pointed back at him and shouted "You're breathtaking!!" I don't think anyone got the joke becaude no one laughed, so I said "Do you guys know who Keanu Reeves is?" No one responded, which is kind of cringe because I thought that at least SOMEONE would know who Keanu is. I ended up getting escorted to the principal's office and getting suspended for a week, but in my opinion, it was totally worth it. I trolled EVERYONE. I'm gonna forever go down in Reddit history. I also realized that there aren't any redditors at my school (which is very cringe in my opinion).

1 point you made about not knowing where quadrants are is somewhat incorrect. at the beginning of the nether he punches a block and the block breaking animation splits into a y and that can tell you which quadrant your going to or at depending on your spawn.

[@pandachong7942]

The only significant things that could have been rigged was the blaze spawn rates and the dragon’s perch time. Everything else seems to be pretty legit. I sure hope this isn’t faked because if it’s not then other speed runners will analyze potential factors that caused the blaze spawns to be so optimal and apply that to their own runs.

[@mwwq1]

Could be that it was the first part of the fortress to load in keening that the mob cap was heightened for the spawns to work but idk

[@jayadratha9836]

The way it could be faked that wouldn't involve modifying any game mechanics would be to take a set seed run and submit it as a random seed run. Play some random seeds, find a pretty good one, practice where to go in that seed so you never need to search or backtrack and so your blind portal gets you close to the fortress, get a good run on the seed you've practiced, and then submit it as a random seed.

[@pandachong7942]

@@jayadratha9836 set seeds have a different loading screen than random seeds, so you can’t get away with that ever

[@jayadratha9836]

​@@pandachong7942 The video should show world creation including that you haven't set a seed, which means if you're passing off a set-seed run as a random seed one you need to splice the world creation anyway. So you splice the loading screen from when you first generated the world as a random seed with the practiced run you're submitting. IIrc the thing that'll get you caught is if you splice a loading screen from a different seed, since each seed's loading screen looks different. I believe that's what happened with Drem's run, that the loading screen shown in his video was loading a different seed.

[@Kyezie131]

The run itself doesn't look faked or anything. But I think the biggest issue is the fact he made his speedrun account a couple days ago. You would think he would make an account when he first started speedrunning, even if he didn't break any records. But for just that reason I don't think you can call someone a cheater.

Will think about the following. He ran this time and was thinking about submitting it, but wasn't sure about because of scenarios like this, people assuming that he cheated. So he created the account, and was still unsure if he should submit it. We don't know who the person is, because of that, speculation about why he did something or not is just a waste of time. This run was insanely lucky (drop rates, exposed portal room, purge etc) plus he clutched that dragon so hard in the end

To take a look into his POV, he might have been running a long time, but never got any luck. I'm guessing he played casual and didn't stream, until he got that run, he wanted to submit it bc it was WR. If you got a WR, obv you would sign up for speedrun.com and submit it

I doubt there was any splicing once the run started, and the run was very impressive. I can see the skepticism regarding seed generation though. I am curious whether he did the speedrun then made the account (which is understandable) or made the account first (which is totally sus). Either way, this is definitely a situation where having something like a camera pointed at the monitor would be helpful. I hope this guy's legit and can get another, more verifiable WR run.

[@eternalextra8322]

commented before the premier ender lolololol Edit: I honestly believe that the runner did not fake the run. I think that the runner was legit. The first reason, the blind travel wasn't sort of planned. Since he had no F3, he couldn't go for a guaranteed good blind travel. So instead of searching a place, he just did it right at the Blaze Spawner. Also all of your reasons that you thought it was real, I pretty much agree with all of them. So I do not think the runner faked the WR. Also, he should be aware that if it was fake and people figured it out, he would definitely get a lot of hate and I don't think people would want that.

[@SuperGamer5O3536]

@EternalTrash2 I noticed more things than just the blind travel, he was always on a beeline for 1. the shipwreck, 2. the bastion, 3. the fortress

[@soundslikedk]

I don't think the run is fake, but in my opinion no F3 is actually better evidence for it being fake. If you used F3 and had a great blind at a random spot people would question why you did it there instead of optimal cords (although proximity to cords could be an acceptable reason). In other words no F3 usage is a good excuse for using non optimal blind travel coordinates with low stronghold distance. If this was the case though, it would mean he looked for a seed with good blind travel at the spawner. You could just as easily do the same thing with typical optimal coordinates nearby, so cheating in this way doesn't completely make sense. The fact that he nailed the no hitbox 4 bed despite the dragon flip also gives him strong credibility as a skilled no F3 runner. The lack of history and account age doesn't look promising either but those things could have easily been faked. Just make an account and wait a month or two, and record some other sub 20 runs. Why would you go to the trouble of doing an insane job faking the run and neglect those things? In conclusion I think it's real but anything is possible. This is all speculation and opinion. It's best to let the mods have the ultimate say since their verification methods will take actual evidence into account along with the circumstantial details.

The "no history of prior runs" thing seems odd to me. If that's how it works, they could have gotten this run, sat on it, submitted a bunch of other runs that they're just grinding out to create a history, and then submit the WR run. I wonder if they could just crank out some runs to stuff on the records - good or bad - until they have "enough history" and then resubmit this run. It almost feels like this requirement is akin to just paperwork and a waiting period.
