zylenox is a speedrunner. Will they be found cheating in a speedrun before 2027?

Examples of being "found" cheating:

  1. A run being removed from a known speedrunning website, with the mods saying it was for cheating.

  2. Strong evidence of cheating in a clear demonstration, such as a Karl Jobst video describing the trickery.

  3. Being banned from a known speedrunning site, if the ban reason was for cheating in a speedrun.

  4. A confession that they cheated in at least 1 speedrun.

  5. A discredited "run" doesn't necessarily have to be submitted. Example: a non-submitted livestream could count if they were deceiving the audience (such as by pretending to play but secretly using a TAS).

Some examples of “cheating” include:

  1. Splicing pre-recorded runs and potraying them as one continuous run.

  2. Editing the game code, but not saying so in the title/description.

  3. Pretending to play but secretly doing a TAS.

  4. Pretending to be doing glitchless category while secretly exploiting a glitch.

  5. Cherry-picking a seed in Minecraft, but then portraying the run as a random seed.

  6. Secretly using mods that give an advantage.


Does not include TAS/modded runs that were honest about being nonhuman/modded. Similarly if they spliced together run segments, but clearly said so in the title/description and didn't deceive, then that's fine.

What will I actually do to resolve this market?

  1. In 2027-Jan I’ll try Google searches for “zylenox” with “cheat”, “banned”, “removed”, or “caught”, and check for incidents.

  2. I'll try checking their speedrun.com page for signs of moderator action.

  3. I’ll check Karl Jobst's YouTube page for any cheating breakdowns of the player.

  4. Commenters can recommend cases/sources, so we can review them.

If there is clear evidence of cheating in a speedrun, then this resolves “Yes”.  If none, then this resolves “No” in 2027-Jan.
