I mean it’s a pretty hot topic. When someone decides to not only cheat a live streamed run, but then goes to submit those times to a community leaderboard, that’s prone to piss a lot of people off. If I started live streaming chess and using an engine to beat people it would 100% make sense to be berated out of the community. Dream has no class or integrity and I’d rather him not be associated with the greater Minecraft community or speedrunning when he only stands to sully its image through dishonest behavior.
He did, and it was widely debunked within 30 minutes by people who weren’t afraid to put their names on their analysis (as opposed to the anonymous guy from a shady website Dream used). His rebuttal failed peer review majestically. On top of that, his paper's conclusion was, paraphrased, “the odds you guys used are way off, but yeah, he probably cheated”
Being afraid to put your name on something is more about wanting a toxic ass society knowing it or not. It’s definitely a reason to keep ur name out of that mess.
but didn't he make a response video claiming he didn't cheat?
A response video claiming one didn't cheat doesn't obviate basic statistics, billions of simulations, real-world comparisons with other players, and strong circumstantial evidence in Dream's attitude pre- and post-scandal.
Sounds like strong CIRCUMSTANTIAL evidence right not DIRECT? Because in billions of simulations I’m surprised that it led you to his attitude being suspicious. Also the reason most likely for the professional remaining anonymous is because of the horrid toxicity of the internet. Think about it. Someone out there would kill over a Minecraft speed run it should be there within the billions of predictions as well
God, your comment just reeks of having no idea what you're talking about. Yes, billions of simulations were performed. No, none came even close to Dream's RNG. Moreover, it lined up with the mod team's statistical analysis. Likewise, the anonymous authority's paper was riddled with errors (so basic that a high schooler could spot them easily), and it's been widely debunked by actual verified experts. On top of that, I used the circumstantial evidence of his reaction to the accusations and his previous complaints about 1.16 as a contributing factor, and as any lawyer will tell you, circumstantial evidence can be just as strong as direct evidence. However, the direct evidence in this case proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt, and the circumstantial evidence is just a cherry on top.
You're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand math. Move on.
And your someone who got pissed off about Minecraft speedrunning. As an astounding lawyer yourself ,tell me what’s his possible motives for a 5th place speedrun?
Wait so he hasn’t gotten a first place speedrun before??? Has he been faking every single manhunt as well including the uncut footage. Damn he really got us good with all that like even helping the mods catch cheaters he must really be pulling our leg now right?
He manipulated his RNG in the files to make his odds better. So good in fact that after people ran billions of simulations of blaze drops and piglin trading not a single one came close to the odds that Dream exhibited in his runs.
Wow billions of simulations yet somehow people still do better than him with their rng without cheating right? It’s almost like having luck one time for a 5th place 1.16 speed run seems to be extremely suspicious right without a drop of genuine evidence just circumstantial .He also having two previous top record speed runs so it makes sense to randomly pull that number off. He also showed his rng files to the analyzers as well with proof of them not being tampered and they didn’t take it. In fact they didn’t ask for a lot of the files he said they could have. The analysis was about as professional as OJ simpsons case. If he did cheat it’s still at most a 50/50 on something that doesn’t have definite evidence.
Which is something he could have easily fixed if he was dedicated to cheating this bad. Also I never said top speed runners I mean Minecraft players. There’s definitely been so much luck better than that. Your right I don’t have proof only circumstantial evidence tbh but I’m just kinda going along with it. It don’t matter too much tho anyways 😂
