Speedrunner – speed competitions have become an indispensable part of the world gaming village. Nearly any game with an ending, clearing the island will have world records for speed of completing the game.

In a basic sense, these players will find ways to shorten the time to complete the game as much as possible through forms such as skipping cutscenes, using tips and tricks to overcome obstacles. challenge.
And recently, the community in the field of Speedrunner has just been stirred up. The story begins when Pint – a famous streamer in this genre is very meticulous, spending up to a month training with the game Final Fantasy 14 just to do one thing. It broke the game with a time of 43.30 seconds, beating the old record of 43.58 seconds of a guy who appeared online. Worth mentioning is that Pint has been extremely passionate about the game, and is confident that his record will not be broken overnight. Before that, he also had a “war of words” online against a mysterious user, also very famous in the Speedrunner community named Em0_oticon.
So, right after setting a new record, Pint challenged his opponent right on his livestream channel: “Show me what you can do”. The video was uploaded on 7/7. Even more surprising when on July 8, Pint’s record was broken with a game-breaking number of 38.74 seconds – nearly 4 seconds faster than the streamer guy. If you are a person with knowledge about Speedrunner, we all understand, 4 seconds sounds very close but definitely a huge challenge.
At this point, Pint officially had to say goodbye when he admitted his world record had been broken in a way that couldn’t be simpler. The male streamer himself is also very civilized when honoring his main opponent as an absolute legend. That said, the field of Speedrunner is also tough and has strong competition, when it takes 1 month of practice, Pint can only keep his record for one day only.
