itslizard – The Story of Minecraft’s Fastest Speedrunner..

This is speedrunning the act of completing an objective in a video game as fast as humanly possible and this is Dugo on November 6 2022 Dugout wrote the Minecraft RSG world record a record which over the years has been contested by thousands of top level players and

Now stands at an astounding 8 minutes and 15 seconds but this is far from where the Story begins you see despite his sudden appearance in the speedrunning community duga have built up his name long ago for beating the world’s fastest Minecraft Bridger a skill which gathered the attention of

Millions across the internet do get Australian speedrunning started there with bridging where he quickly realized that his ability to focus and dedicate himself to learning a difficult skill would separate him from the rest except there was one problem in the early days of Bridging the community was extremely

Small the skill had yet to blow up on YouTube and as a result learning the ropes through this concept proved to be a very difficult challenge while the vast majority of players at this time spent months developing their skills Dugout managed to learn the basics in a

Matter of hours climbing to the top almost instantly Dugal spent the next several months mastering his abridging ability learning how to do the famous God Bridge all the way up until initially deemed impossible methods such as telebridge his absurdly fast growth on YouTube came when he became the first

Person in the world to be able to do something called a speed Telly to this day this is still the fastest bridging method in the world and is one that has garnered hundreds of millions of views across the internet over the past two years Dugout began to break record after

Record with nobody even coming close for months on end but of course over time the bridging Community began to catch up until just about every top level player was also capable of doing exactly what duga had started duga was stuck as was the rest of the bridging community no

Progress seemed to be getting made and the initially booming Community came to a standstill it was around this time that Dugal began to develop an interest in speedrunning and he began to learn the basics unknown to absolutely anyone as he had not uploaded any runs or

Streamed at all at this time the very first piece of evidence to Dugout speedrunning journey is an unlisted video on his channel where he achieved a time of 16 minutes and 35 seconds after this point Dugal began to start streaming his speedruns though due to his time being far from contending any

Records whatsoever he was not getting many viewers this Spike of interest in speedrunning from dugar was short-lived however as bridging began to see some new development Dugout decided to put speedrunning on hold for a while and went back to bridging where the top speed tele had just been invented dugel

Spent hours upon hours over the next months to prove that he was still competitive with the best bridges in the world and managed to reclaim his title by breaking and tying each new world record leaving no room for any doubt that he was still the best in the world

After this point the bridging development began to slow down but Dugal as well as many other known Bridges continued to develop new methods and began to reinvent bridging through things like the four block flat tally as well as using head hitters on the final Island to save time this extreme

Attention to detail and optimization is a big part of what helped Dugout get the world record but we’ll discuss that more later after spending so long trying to optimize bridging Dugout felt that his interest in the game itself had begun to fade and it was at this exact point in

Dugal’s Journey that he realized he wanted to pick up speedrunning again but this time it was different it’s important for me to note that during this entire time of dugal’s bridging reign as well as his remained spark of interest in speedrunning I was talking with him pretty consistently having this

Personal Insight on dugal’s situation allowed for me to see that this wasn’t just another player learning a random skill to kill time on weekend dugo’s extreme motivation to maximize the value of every single millisecond in his bridging records provided him with an interest in optimizing just about every

Single possible aspect of the Minecraft speedrun to an extent which had never really been seen before as Dugout began to break his personal best over and over working his way down to a competitive time of 11 minutes and 47 seconds he began to realize a trend that all of

Those speed Runners were subconsciously doing which was sabotaging their potential to break the world record and was something that he knew he could improve upon you see in the Bridget Community where Dugout first made his name every single in-game tick counts and if a bridge is even slightly off

From the very start the chances of breaking the record instantly go to zero similar to this in modern speedrunning speedrunners will load into promising seeds only to find that they may have slight inconveniences which caused the runs to end up taking more time than would be preferred two girls started to

Realize that every top Runner out there was not really maximizing their speedrunning efforts as they would often play out scenes that never truly had potential from the start in speedrunning the term resetting is thrown around a lot and despite being pretty self-explanatory it holds a lot of value

Dugo realized that in order for him to truly have a shot at the world record he was going to have to be brutally honest with himself about every single run he played and whether or not it had genuine potential to break the mighty world record which thousands upon thousands of

Players could only dream of breaking dugel quickly began to stick out from the crowd the few who were tuning into his streams at this time began to notice his odd resetting pattern and this was initially detrimental to him as viewers on Twitch did not enjoy watching her on

A reset after even the slightest inconvenience I have genuinely witnessed on more than one occasion Dugout reset a seed simply because his Mouse slipped all Breaking along from a tree or his crafting took longer than he felt it should of course this came with some exceptions but it was this incurable

Drive to perfect every aspect of the speedrun that caused dubel to inevitably get the world record things began to take a turn for the better when Dugal decided to start posting his runs onto a channel which is now known as dug this channel however briefly went by the name

Of dug Isle which was extremely short-lived as I told him it sucked oh yeah I was his first subscriber by the way regardless of the name this new channel became a place for Dugo to upload his attempted runs regardless of whether or not they were actually fully

Played out in fact the vast majority of the videos on this channel were incompleted runs which despite lacking a successful ending displayed to the speedrunning community an extreme level of skill and an ability to consistently achieve Paces that were competitive with the best in the world Dugout began to

Gain some Traction in the speeding Community as people begin to appreciate the method of resetting worlds that were even mildly inconvenient which of course is what originally had set him back it was on July 26 of this year when Dugo proved to the entire community that he

Was not just another Runner as this was the day he got a new personal best of 10 minutes and 18 seconds this time while not only being extremely competitive was an astounding one and a half minutes faster than his old personal best and it was at this point that players began to

Realize that with the strategies he was implementing Dugo was improving at a rate which is nearly unheard of in the speedrunning community doogle of course is No rookie when it comes to world records as at this point he had already broken and held countless bridging world records and at one point came within

Milliseconds of breaking world record while using a Macbook it was at this point that dugao’s twitch and YouTube channel began to gain a lot of traction and by consistently streaming Dugo was achieving some crazy Paces pretty much every single day most commonly Dugout would upload footage of his fastest

Blinds a blind of course being when you travel back to the overall by building your own portal pretty much every upload on two girls Channel at this point was on world record pace and it wasn’t long before he managed to get a new personal best and his first ever sub 10. doogle’s

Previous personal best had already been a minute and a half faster than his one before so when in one run he managed to go from a 1018 to a 921 PB the community was absolutely stunned a Time Improvement of 57 seconds allowed for him to be within a mere minute of the

World record and do girl’s Improvement only got crazier from here after this point Dugout managed to continue with his crazy paces and also becoming the master of all Nether Portals like why do you need to make one this fast bro what but in all seriousness the paces as well

As the nether portals themselves were a reflection of how fast Doug was improving and how close he really was to the world record this became astoundingly apparent on October 27th when Dugout managed to get a time of 8 minutes and 46 seconds a time that will

Put him top three in the entire world and was simply mere seconds away from being the world record at this point every time Dugal streamed he was averaging a crazy amount of viewers as people were just waiting for the inevitable world record and they did not

Have to wait long because only two weeks later on November 6th Dugout broke the RSG world record with a time of 8 minutes and 15 seconds on top of this being a world record it was also an improvement of over 20 seconds to soggy’s world record which of course had

Been 8 minutes and 36 seconds the speedrunning community was pretty ecstatic over such a short span of time Dugout had managed to become one of the most known rhinos in the community and breaking the world record was his final step in proving that he was truly the

Best of the best the crazy thing about this run is that in modern speedrunning it is entirely beatable dugel himself as well as several other Runners such as Feinberg Crooks and waymore have all been on Paces way faster than this and it definitely won’t be long before some

Big developments are made but that is where dugal’s story comes back today with him being the world record holder in one of the biggest speedrunning categories in the entire world and arguably one of the best speedrunners Minecraft has ever seen if you enjoyed this video definitely don’t forget to
