funny going into youtube comments on a video about a russian speedrunner who "cheated" (actually didn't, was doing based trolling) and seeing a bunch of people saying "of course he's russian, russians are all cheaters, fuck russians."
remember kids, it's okay when WE do it.
@Arkana I'm unaware of any fuckery there, the biggest example of cheating during a GDQ I know of is stivitybobo fucking Sam's wife tolki xD
For real though, it was the metal gear rising revengeance DLC run, with the crazy Russian runner. The base game was legit but the DLC was a run he spliced together and just made it look like he was playing. Afterwards, he apologized and confessed it was fake to GDQ. Then, the mad lad uploaded the run to the segmented run leaderboard using the GDQ footage as proof and the mods accepted it. Karl Jobst got pretty butthurt about it and asked the mods to do something or at least change the video to the actual run and not the GDQ one, but they did absolutely nothing
it only changed when GDQ themselves took down the re-upload. Basically, the dude didn't cheat at all, he just didn't play the game and made a mockery of GDQ the whole time.
Count on the MGR community to be based. That was one of the only runs that didn't have a tranny commentating. Too bad we'll never see the game run at a GDQ again but maybe it's for the best xD
