Of all of the cheaters I've heard about, this may actually be the most surprising.

What happen?
Absolutely disgusting that someone so trustworthy would do something like this.
The secret is, they're all cheaters, or nearly all who do things that seem impossible or unbelievable. The money and or status is too much for these people.
@@HermannTheGreat Maybe.
Did you repost this video? Posting this comments right after the sponsor. It's the village chests that get him right? Or did someone else post this weeks ago? Weirdest sense of deja vu.
This reminds me of a funny incident that happened a couple of years ago:
A TV program was going to give a prize to the oldest person alive of the country. But after tracking that person, they realized she had been dead for several years, but their family didn't notify her death to keep receiving the government pay. Then they decided to move to the next oldest person alive, but it turned out it was dead as well. And so on and so forth.
By the time they got finished they uncovered 8 more cases of social security fraud...
🤣
Wow, irony of fate lol
That was in Japan, right?
HAHAHAHAHAAH
Oh my god that’s hilarious
well, that doesn't seem very harmful
"Minecraft speedrun scientist" is one of those combinations of words that feels like it should be sarcastic, but is completely serious and genuine.
Reminds me of one Korean prosecutor who investigated the worst match fixing in the country's Brood War pro scene. He proved the anomalies in the accused rigged matches as himself being a competent StarCraft player, the best in the prosecutor's office.
The difference between science and messing around is noting stuff down
It’s a similar title to “discord moderator” and “reddit admin”
Well don't forget about the papers that were written during the Dream scandal. Those were proper high math stuff.
uhhhh yeah i'm thinking "minecraft speedrun scientist" is goin on the 'ol resume lmfao
"It takes one to know one" is honestly why I believe that moderators should be deeply familiar with cheating themselves so they can recognise others more easily. Like a serial killer becoming a detective.
Next up: Head Mod of Speedrunning MC found cheating with their profound technical knowledge of MC!

@@henrik1743 well you wouldn't know, would u?
Exposing someone else from cheating probably is to gain the trust from the community, make people think he is one of the "good guys" that takes care of the integrity of the game.
Maybe he just wanted to ensure his run stayed the fastest. He couldn't be beaten by a legit player, but he _could_ be beaten by another cheater.
Doesn't take away from dream cheating
@@rdrrr or maybe it’s a combination of these with other things as well
I definitely think that was part of it. I believe that he also wanted to eliminate some competition.
@@opo3628 I’m sure that was a factor
Him exposing dream is the perfect example of "Takes one to know one"

Hahah lol!
But what an L as well, at least Dream has basically banned himself from speedrunning and makes entertaining content.

@@machinronii it's not karma, but ironic

I hadn’t heard of netherworld, is it in the valley or city?
@@BirnieMac1
It’s in the valley
I feel like the act of finding cheaters has become it's own sort of game. I wonder if at some point people start competing in it. Someone posts a deliberate video of a cheated speed run and people compete in finding the most amount of proof as fast as possible.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if something like this was already happening.
Find cheater any% wr (0:27.047)
I was just thinking this xD having a "cheat as subtly as possible" category would be really funny imo, it being more like Twilight Princess Low% than Any%, like whoever does the craziest cheats without "getting caught" gets WR rather than the speediest runner. might even help mods get a list of cheating tells & techniques at the same time. call it Cheat%
Catching a speedrunning cheater speedrun any%
Future video: it had been proved that [insert cheat debunker] had scripted his cheating debunk video. 💀
This is like these scenes in cartoons where the main characters are exposed for cheating and yet its revealed EVERYONE in the whole contest was cheating so the trophy goes to the person in last place who happened to be the only one that wasnt cheating.
That dancing competition episode in Spongebob where Patrick is the winner.
Something Karl didn't mention is that MinecrAvenger has a twin brother who is also a top Minecraft speedrunner however his brother is seemingly a completely legitimate player who has no oddities in his runs.
When MinecrAvenger was first submitting times to the leader board his times just coincidentally happened to be slightly faster than his brothers, he wasn't just cheating and fooling the community he was also cheating to get a better time than his brother just so he could feel superior to him.
A very sad man indeed.
Holy shit
That's something I've never thought about. Twins being competitive with eachother. It does have to feel weird to be the worse than someone that share your DNA. Any twins wanna weigh in on this?
I bet the twin feels amazing now
I don't know about that, I'd rather imagine his twin feels pretty shit living under the same roof as someone like MinecrAvenger
@@MartKencuda "It does have to feel weird to be the worse than someone that share your DNA"

It’s like studying a bank heist, calling the police on the criminals and then being caught robbing the same bank years later. It’s almost as if he studied the mistakes so he wouldn’t make them, but ended up having the same fate as the ones he studied.
Maybe he felt more secure after he exposed Dream. Like, if everyone knew him as the guy who exposed cheaters, then they would be less likely to think of him as one.
Basically in Among Us when The impostor votes their teammate out to appear less suspicious
@@realinfinity620Exactly lol, he was probably hoping that throwing Dream under the bus would give him some protection if people got suspicious of him as well.
The audacity to call out someone for what you’re doing yourself is peak level.
What did Karl do?
They're talking about the cheater
hypocrisy doesn't make you wrong it just means you don't live up to your own advice
Actually, that's fairly typical human behavior.
Literally Trump accusing the Democrats of using Fraudulent votes and fake news to get elected
Its kinda funny knowing that if he didn't expose Dream, he wouldn't have been caught as easily. It was because of Dream that people started getting suspicious of 'good luck'.

I'm trying to imagine an alternate version of this story, where MinecrAvenger uses his knowledge of cheating to expose Dream, but admits that he knows it because he too is cheating. Burning down in flames with a bit of class.

@@toceeno874 It's a very dumb saying lol
@@Rahkoi Ya, i think "Takes one to know one" was a better fit.
What bothers me the most is the fact Minecravenger made so many of his runs a tiny bit faster than his brother’s. That's some next level pettiness I haven't seen before.
Petty? Yes, but it seems like more than that. Some people just dominate their siblings in seemingly all competition they take part in. That can wear on the deficient competitor and be the spark for cheating behavior, especially when that sibling gloats about their victories. I'm not condoning it, but I understand it. The need to shut that person up becomes everything, and cheating at that point can be rationalized. It's wrong, so ban him from the competition community in which the cheating took place, for trust is lost, but it's not as crazy or sad as some believe it is in my opinion.

Also imagine suing someone over a video game cheating accusation 😭
I don't think there's any doubt that a lot of top rank speedrunners cheated their records and just haven't been caught yet because there hasn't been quite enough scrutiny to pick up on their method
Thats a very cynical world view
@@fnutek3720or a realistic view
It's amazing how far cheat detection has come. Huge W for the speedrunning comminity.
Until it turns out that everyone has cheated.

Wouldn't have been possible without those cheaters!
The dragon had probably started in 2nd gear to be able to get such a fast perch. What a talented runner!!

@@ZorotheGallade thumbs up for the pun.
You can tell it wasn't a truly random seed by the girder fingers visible on the nether fortress transition scenes, that run was done on emulated hardware
Wow what a shame. I'm glad that people in the community provide checks and balances to expose the cheaters. Love your channel Karl. Been subbed for years.
The fact that I can hear the phrase "Minecraft Scientist" and not break a rib from laughing is a hell of a statement on where we are as a species. Not sure if it's a good or a bad one, but it's a hell of one either way
I used to feel annoyed about the cheaters, but as a bystander I am -- more and more -- enjoying this cat and mouse game between the cheaters and the guardians of integrity
“Cheaters and the Guardians of Integrity” would make a great title for a documentary 😂
Well said. Starting to agree.
_between the cheaters_ *and* _the guardians of integrity and other cheaters_
that's how the governments feels like when civilians clash with the police lmao
There are no guardians of integrity. They are just other cheaters that are exposing other cheaters so their undetected cheats can make them the best. If cheaters are all in the top spot, it proves you have to cheat to get the edge (obviously), and so many cheaters do it that being at the top necessarily implies you are cheating.
And we have literal cheaters exposing cheaters; how is that 'guardians of integrity?
This is going to just be a never ending cycle. First Drem gets exposed by Dream, and MinecrAvenger exposes him, and now he gets caught cheating. Whoever exposed MinecrAvenger for cheating, please don't be part of the speedrunning community so the cycle could finally break.
Plot twist: Drem exposed MinecrAvenger

@@juanignaciosala9414 No! We are cheaters. We never change.
It's strange to me that people cheat in the first place like even if you pull it off eventually top players will want to rewatch the clip in order to learn your strategy.. so someone is going to catch it at some point
0:22 Breaks gravel, gets flint in the 1st try.
Enough said.
The RNG in Minecraft speedrunning must be unbelievably frustrating to top runners for this many people to have been exposed for cheating inappropriately.
Every block can be randomly generated, so the RNG is probably the worst it could ever be in any game. Anything and everything could go wrong.
That said, they should just run a more consistent category instead of cheating. If you dont like the RNG, pick a run with less RNG to worry about. Set seeds on specific versions for most consistency. Don't be an ass and cheat just cause you weren't able to get good enough RNG.
@@jaade9485 Don’t don’t speedrun 1.14 or 1.15
Minecraft is one of the games built around random generation, so it surprises me so many people are wanting to run the game to begin with. Especially not the category for an optimal world either. It's going to take so many attempts to get optimal RNG, it's sure way more convenient to use mods or something to cut the grinding time down.
In addition to what other people have said, this was a big criticism of piglins in the nether being able to give ender pearls. Like that seems perfectly harmless, but this is the fastest way to get ender pearls now, it takes many tries to work out in your favor, and it's late enough in a run to waste more time on bad runs. And you'll never know how much gold you'll need (what the piglins give you for the gold is random), so good luck mining enough, while not wasting run time on too much. Compare that to villager chests, which are always the same if you prepick your seed.
Unfortunately, mojang can never really fix this, because the world records with piglins bartering don't go away if they remove the mechanic.
I imagine that runners do not really care about setting records, but rather just being fast
Because even if they set one, it would be mostly luck
I love a good Minecraft cheating controversy because the sheer lengths that cheaters go to to get ahead and the equally audacious lengths people go to to bust them defies belief
Fr. I'd give a lot to be this passionate and driven about anything lol
the mass effect map music caught me off guard ! You truly are a man of culture, doubled with a great narration technique. Thank you for the work you put into your videos
At this point, hearing the word "luck" when it comes to MC speedruns puts a pit in my stomach
I misread the title and thought it was about the biggest cheater in MineSWEEPER history. I'm at 7:59 and after reading the title again I only just now am understanding why you kept talking about Minecraft so much. I was actively wondering how this guy was gonna parley his Minecraft fame into a fake Minesweeper record. This whole video is gonna be a different experience now. Looking forward to it and now wondering if there's ever been a Minesweeper cheating scandal.
Lol
That's okay, I was looking at the video on my sub page and was wondering why the thumbnail had a Minesweeper board in it when the title mentioned Minecraft. Then the rest of my brain caught up and I felt a bit silly.
bruh...i browse the comments at the beginnings and i only realised it after reading your comment...i also read it as minesweeper 😂 i think the thumbnail and lack of sleep made it look like a minesweeper field to me
It was probably the thumbnail that did the trick. It does look a bit like minesweeper.
You are an absolute legend for using the mass effect map theme in the background
If you account for Dream's MASSIVE cheating scandal, this is probably one of the biggest "takes one to know one" instances of all time

Whoa whoa. He's "Gamer of the Century", let's not give him more credit than he's earned.
Careful. He will sue you.
The fact he had the audacity to call out dream while doing the same goddamned thing is hilarious.

@@prestongehrig2824 I'm not talking about Karl, genius.
He(Avenger) just didn’t want the competition, I’m guessing.

@@UltimaJC that reply the guy gave was so un-attached to what you said that i thought it was a bot before realizing the person totally misunderstood who you were talking about
There is a great video by Upper Echelon where he claims that the gamming community is much better at self moderating than the scientific community. This is a great example of that, it's amazing how people that play videogames can gather and use both the will and the means to expose corruption within the community while more important communities like the scientific community most times refuse to investigate possible corruption from within
That's not really surprising. Calling out someone for cheating in a speedrun risks at most being blown up on TH-cam or Twitter. Calling out corruption in science could be the end of your career. Plus you can't (usually) get cash and kickbacks for cheating or being complicit in it regarding speedrunning
Hey Karl! I just wanted to say thank you. I ordered a GMG Oranos from your sponsor and I have to say. I can feel the difference. I work as an IT Admin and in the evenings I play 3 hours as well. So I am constantly using a monitor. After a few days, I can already feel that my eyes are not that tired at the end of the day and I sleep better as well. Thank you for the sponsorship / info. It definietly helped me and the prices are totally in the normal range as well. Keep up the good work!

1 in 28 billion is laughably unlikely, but it really puts into perspective how bonkers Dream's claim was.... like add ten zeroes to the end of that 1/28,000,000,000 and you have Dream's supposed luck.
I can't believe it's been two years since the Dream cheating case.
No… no way
I'm old 👴
speedrunning cheaters being outed is more entertaining than actual speedruns
This is absolutely crazy. Hats off to all minecraft geniuses out there. Thank you for making this video, my mind is blown
Every time this happens, I can't help but think, who else is cheating right now but yet to be caught?
I need to confess. I don't have any legitimate runs on the minecraft leaderboard. All of them are fake. None of them are real. If you think you see a minecraft run from me you're imagining things because I even faked submitting the runs.
@@rubixtheslime i dont even know who you are but you had me in the first half ngl
I need to confess too. When I was playing Halo 2 split-screen 1vs1 with my cousin in 2007, I actually was cheating by looking at his screen to find where he was easily.
I’m sorry
@@jayst I think we've all done that. When I was a kid and my friends and I would play 007 Goldeneye multiplayer we would all screen peek despite telling each other we couldn't.
If the pattern continues then one of people who busted Minecrvenger will be next.
"You Can't Hustle a Hustler"
The idea of that applying to cheaters as well sounds pretty fitting
Dont play minecraft and dont speedrun except very casually in games I really really like for a personal challenge (so not a competitive speedrun at all) but I still love to watch this channel. Thanks for the great content Karl.
I'd like to point out that '1 in 28 billion' probability is less likely than a rogue white dwarf crashing into the sun.
I'm starting to think that the long hours of grinding the intense RNG of minecraft speedruns just cooks a certain kind of person's brain after a while.
Yea lazy people with no morals
It takes a special kind of person to ever start these runs. They are all on a list somewhere.
sadly so, and as karl once said in the past, people that are very good at the game can end up cheating because they feel its unfair the rng isnt letting their skill shine
and looking at those runs the guy seems pretty good honestly
That's the thing about minecraft speed running and any heavy RNG game, it's INCREDIBLY flawed that you have to repeat the same thing 100 times, not because you messed up your execution, but just because a random number not in your control screwed you
Perhaps he spoke out against other cheaters to make his runs look less suspicious. One becomes more trusted when exposing other cheaters.
Probably.
I feel like putting yourself into the spotlight of cheating scandals kind of puts you in the crosshairs as well
The guy basically self-reported. It's kinda hilarious.
Man got this video into a TH-cam ad, bravo
“Dolphins are also random”
This sentence tickles me for some reason.
I find it absolutely hilarious that the person that exposed Dream, straight up cheated multiple runs either before or after he exposed him, it's also ironic that he got caught for the same reason as Dream
Takes one to know one, and it also took some attention off him
Makes you wonder how many people are cheating in the games we play everyday lol it’s sad
Well, cheaters know what they need to look for after all to expose a cheater lol
He was literally the best suited person for all of those situations
@@Nightcaat It's a legit tactic that works, if you play Phantom Forces on roblox then you'll eventually see a cheater use that tactic to deflect attention from their cheating onto someone else to make themselves look innocent
I get that top players are almost always the ones who end up cheating, and it makes sense why, but exposing other cheaters after you've cheated records yourself seems crazy. Like that's the absolute textbook definition of "tempting fate".
To me It seems like mindgames or I guess a classic game of among us or werewolf
On the other hand this guy was such a master of tricks he wasn't going to get caught throught the means he used to expose others.
They are projecting
as someone who was befriended with a speedrunner who later turned out to have cheated, I notice that people like to do theories on why and most of the time its completly wrong. People always overthink when the reasons are usually simple.
Does Karl line up the black fade outs with adverts? Because I genuinely love it if it’s intentional? Makes content really easy to watch!
That's so wild that he was caught from that and not the splice. Shoutout to the community for checking the chest odds! Need passionate people behind these communities
I'm so glad not every speed game can be easily modified in such hard to notice ways. Like imagine if in SM64 we had to worry about people speeding up Mario's rollouts by x1.01 and fixing coin spawning RNG to be 10% more favorable.
Persona 4 Golden and 5 Royal were once in the same boat due to their exclusivity and non-prevalence(?) of working emulators for their respective consoles. Now that they're available on Steam, it's entirely possible to use subtle cheats/mods for an unfair advantage. (I'm still not certain if skill change manipulation is legitimate or not)...
@@steam-powereddolphin5449 modding a Vita is easy. modding a PS4 is easy too. cheating was easily possible long before the PC ports.
@@poudink5791 I still don't believe that mods on those are as accessible as on PC; don't you need to jailbreak consoles in order to modify anything?
Wouldn't something like coin rng cheating be possible though? Especially on VC
@@dscimforjack Yes, it would be. There are ways to mod every version of SM64 I believe. It comes down to accessibility though. Modding PC games is far more accessible than modding console games.
I suddenly want karl to make a spinoff series called making a fake run in which he attempts to make a cheated run in games he is unfamiliar with to see what he can come up with
Imagine being the guy he supposedly beat. How relieving it probably felt to know about this.
Unexplainable glitches in software that can’t be repeated are probably due to space rays.
Multiple space rays in one run is pretty suspicious…
all speedruns should be played with ECC memory on space-grade tri-processor setup
Congrats for making me look up the term "space rays"
@@MasterOfKnowledge. cosmic rays is the more widely used term
Multiple space rays in one run is possible if the cosmic event lasts longer than an eyeblink. Multiple space rays in multiple different speedruns are however cheating.
Haha, in my days it was the new age quacks that blamed their failures on vaguely described space stuff, now it is video game cheaters who do it XD (at least new agers and similar blaming things on planets not being aligned properly or some other crap was at least somewhat thematically relevant to the bluff >_
This reminds me of my old counter strike 1.6 server i used to run for years with my friends, we had a strict no second chances for cheaters policy but we secretly knew which of our admins were former cheaters and funnily enough it was always those who used to cheat themselves that were the best at spotting cheaters and getting rid of them in creative ways, takes one to know one i guess
Nah. I never cheated in 1.6, but i can see cheater in CS from miles away. If you know game well enough, you can see sus behaviour quite easilly. It doesnt mean its necessary cheating, but its usually first clue something is amiss.
Strict no second chances is counter productive. I had rights on server, where we had second chance buy out and it worked pretty well. Also helped to pay for server, so it was win - win scenario. There was no third chance, so cheater thought twice to do it again...and we had very good admin team of experienced players to catch them, so server was very popular and always full over day.
oh 100%. When you cheat you know exactly how they work.
@@cyphi474 No, you really don't know how cheaters work, nor would it be "quite easy" for you.
No one really cares enough, it's just a game.
@@KiLLJoYTH-cam if you are good at the FPS game then spotting a cheater won't be hard, and a lot of cheaters are usually non skilled at the game and don't know what is natural and what's not. Spotting cheaters that are good at the game is a lot harder but still won't be too hard.
@@thelol6802 you don’t know what you’re talking about

Spitting facts
Can't belive u picked that up
I just pictured that scene from the Simpsons where they get Homer to finally join the cult... by using the batman song.
Can you hear the pied piper?
For the fact they put effort into making a tool for scanning all possible loot chests is truly amazing, kudos to everyone involved!
I wonder how hard it must have been, you would need to take the game's algorithm, run it with each possible seed sequentially and report if it found a match
It may have taken some hours or days
It’d be impressive if it weren’t so sad and pathetic.
Someone sat down and did the calculations for all these variables. For a fucking videogame.
I cannot imagine a better waste of my time.
@@HarambaeXelonmuskfans No no. Nobody did the calculation themselves. They made a program that did that. The calculation itself can be automated and even be parallelized onto multiple computers. The algorithm for that can be easily orientated from the original game.
Doing trillions of calculations by hand would be insane, might take some decades and is very error prone.
Right? I wanna see this tool, and how they developed it. Build and Running long computation applications is actually a lot of fun!
i was a big fan of him and even tuned to his streams, im not a Minecraft person so i never noticed so the news were a shock, he seemed so genuine and even talked about cheating like something he would never do ☠️
I feel like the most victorious warrior defeating the end dragon with no cheats, after 8 years of playing minecraft without ever beating one.
Whenever something like this happens, the same fraud detection methods should be applied to the entire top ten of the game in question.
And for any caught cheating removed from the list, repeat on the players taking that new top ten slot.

Cheaters are really good at spotting other people cheating because they know better what to look for and notice familiar patterns that they themselves might have attempted or thought about. Also the ego factor in cheaters makes them more likely to challenge the authenticity of other people's achievements which is probably how he noticed Dream was cheating too and got mad that someone else was beating his record the same way he was beating everyone else's.
Me and mates are great at spotting people cheating at card games. Because we constantly cheat during them when playing against each other (all in good fun tho)
This reminds me, back in the old days, many former criminals became very successful cops because they were once criminals, so catching one is child’s play.
If only those cheaters didn't submit scores and acted as simple cheater busters for scoreboards... Their help could have been invaluable!
@@flyingstonemon3564 Imagine being an active and known cheater who just goes around pointing out everyone's mistakes
@@helizteil2625 So based... At least It's not cheating if you're not in a competition and just screwing around for fun
This is a really reminiscent of "You were my brother, Anakin!"
Minecravenger was a massive, well respected speedrunner that ultimately betrayed the entire community.
This is why it's important to take the opinions of other cheaters accusing others seriously. Tons of cheating scandals in COD have happened in the last two years, but the community is so toxic it won't even listen to other cheaters laying out, in detail why a lot of the big cod streamers are cheating. I get it, they're cheaters - but, they have more experience with cheating than most other people and are worth listening to.
Exactly! Cheaters know what they're talking about when they talk about cheating, since they have 1st hand experience with it.
I remember a time in a Text RP group when I accused someone else's character of being overpowered, at which point I was dogpiled for having my own OP character and my take was disregarded. Years later, after the departure of the person I'd accused, it was near-universally agreed that his character was absolutely broken. I remember this vividly specifically because it was the moment I stopped caring so much about hypocrisy. More people need to recognize that a correct criticism being hypocritical *doesn't make it any less right.*
In 2 years: “How ExeRSolver was caught cheating in a Minecraft speedrun.” 9:20
Running Micravenger’s chests against the trillions of possibilities … the speed running community is on a whole other plane of existence
as a cybersecurity major and Minecraft lover, I adore the fact that they were able to probably write a script that ran all of his chest possibilities. Smooth move IT community
WOW im so proud of everyone here for helping karl out with the lawsuits, warms my heart to see
I hope karl get out of it alright, and I hope he gets all of his money back and more from billy and his constant harassment
Billy Mitchell is a pathetic, thin-skinned hack.
Was he also exposed for listening to the song “Dupe - International “ ??
"Youou absolute LEGENDS..." is literarally the best in and outro on YT 😄
The intonation is so funny, like you want to say something like 'you absolute a-holes', but then it becomes LEGENDS with a bassy voice
😂🤣
This man could be the Frank Abagnale of minecraft if he accepted his mistakes and became an expert in detecting other cheaters
I almost want to thank all the cheaters for giving Karl the justification to do these amazing videos, thank you so much you legends
Absolute legends
ABSOLUTE legends*
Absolute legends
Absolute leg-ends
Absolute Drongos
I'll never understand why people cheat in groups like speed running. You're not getting money or notable recognition out of it, and the risk of getting caught is being blacklisted from the only community that shares the same interests.
It just seems like a losing scenario.
on the plus side you get a lot of YT ad revenue from a new world record if you make vids out of it :)
People cheat so they can get world records faster, or sometimes to get world records at all. Sometimes it is desperation to curb bad RNG; sometimes it is an ego thing that makes people chase as many categories as possible; sometimes it is jealousy that a contemporary is getting the luck and not you; sometimes the person is a jerk.
@@Zeldrake people also get a lot of ad revenue covering your cheating. So, if anything, cheating in a video game is kinda like donating to karl jobst.
This isn't a conspiracy theory, I don't imagine karl has a vast network of cheaters working for him, at least not yet.
because cheating is fun
@@Zeldrake eh, I don't think so. Dream got his ad revenue cause he was already a large and quickly growing channel
Just ordered a pair of the glasses, thanks!
Just imagine how many cheaters are out there not being caught...
Saw this come up elsewhere and it's crazy. Glad to see Karl cover it too; I really like the way he puts his videos together and always speaks clearly and directly on the matter.
I think it was lowest percent? The video sounded familiar.
@@johnathanclayton2887 could be. I feel a bit bad not remembering it. Came up as a random suggestion and not a channel I normally watch.
@@gorgeouszan Yeah, lowest percent released a video on this two weeks ago
@@SkorchRabbitz gotcha was probably that then
I’m waiting for a “Karl Jobst cheating scandal exposed” video. I really hope one never gets made. Please don’t break our hearts you absolute legend
He already made one himself.
Literally exists right now lol
Well you better start putting your heart back together lol
Kinda seems like a lot of the speedrunning community cheats when guys who expose others for cheating are getting outed for cheating. Even Karl himself had to get out in front admitting to scores he cheated in the past, however insignificant, and whether or not he framed it sarcastically.
Karl actually DID expose himself for cheating on a magazine competition decades ago when he was a teenager.
I knew as soon as I saw Lowest Percent’s video that Karl would weigh in on this too. It’s pretty amazing you can fire off these videos while dealing with those spurious lawsuits.
Thanks for this comment, you validated my sanity and let me know COVID hadn't damaged my brain this week 😅
I forgot that's where I heard about this, was about to say ANOTHER one?
THANK YOU, I had the same feeling as the other comments lol
I had to look in my history for the word "Minecraft" 😅
Phew, I was thinking that I already saw this video, looking in the comments to see if/why was this re-uploaded, completely forgetting that lowest percent also made videos about minecraft cheating.
Good luck with the law suit Jobst! Love your channel
Nice video. I accidentally stumbled across this. Very interesting. Thank you for putting it together.
They didn't just have to run his chests against the full 2ish billion possible ones, they had to generate an exhaustive list of them first! This took months of computing on its own.
Not really months, you just take a list of the chest patterns and then run simulations for matching loot seeds, as it runs through the sims it crosschecks itself with the ones taken from stream, once they are confirmed as possible it's taken out, increasing the speed of checks. Computers are really really good at crunching numbers. I can't see this taking more than a month, faster if the work was split across multiple computers.
In a different video, Matthew Bolan said they used GPUs to do it in a few hours
@@Veltrosstho there are no fixed patterns
@@proxima_fish they used maths to reverse the formula. They didn't generate all trillions of chests and then checked if they got a match. They asked which seed do I need to get this specific layout. Given that numbers aren't random but just complicated formulas that seem random there is probably only a few million possible seeds.
@@nnnik3595 This is false, if you saw the Lowest Percent video about this topic (video was made by an actual minecraft runner) then you’d know better
Edit: Also your approach won’t even work because the entire point is that this chest is not possible - there is no seed that generates it. And there are indeed 2^48 possible different loot seeds, this is just a known fact at this point.
Why don't we just have an any %UseAnyCheatsNecessary category just to see who's the best at cheating?
Ohh, I like this idea.
I'm not much into minecraft, but I can relate to this deal of finding a legendary speedrunner a lot of people look up to is cheating, I felt it when it came out that RossDraws was painting over pictures of instagram models and not disclosing it or crediting them, making it seem like it was all his creation.
The mass effect music was amazing.
Seeing this makes me worry a lot about how many WR speedruns from other games were also cheated.
I mean, people were able to detect this particular case thanks to Minecraft being literally the most popular and played game of all time, and the build-up experience and knowledge coming from that fact is unfathomable.
But the vast majority of other games aren't so "lucky".
I got my start following speed running watching ZeroMaster. If he's ever outed as a cheater, I'll likely lose interest forever. I have no reason to doubt the authenticity of his runs whatsoever, but the more cheating that gets uncovered in the hobby/sport as a whole, the more you begin to question everyone that is just a bit too successful.
Virtually all of them are cheaters. That is the open secret
@@riffbw It is the norm, trust me. But people only 'analyze' if suspicious arises, and good cheaters can blatantly cheat without arising suspicion. Thus, what needs to happen is that we randomly 'analyze' people blindly in order to find a 'cheating rate.' If we blindly analyze 100 speedrunners that are in the top 10, and we get a rate above 10%, we know that virtually every 1st place in all speedruns was achieved via cheating
( this is because if you are cheating at a 1 in 10 rate, and we look at the top 10, the odds of the cheating being #1 are obviously higher; unless the cheater sucks so much his cheating only gets him to #10-2 )
You can do a further layer analysis to determine this (just look at all the top 10's and see who cheats
@@pyropulseIXXI Virtually every WR is cheated? You watch too much TH-cam.
I remember seeing the spread sheet for this. Its beyond insane how they caught him.
The people really getting screwed are the fans of these people
Man oh man, didn’t know you were being sued. Guy is a big bully and a belly scratching cheater, hope things go ok for you
"My other runs aren't cheated brooo!!!" - literally every cheating speedrunner after being caught lmao
