I actually learnt from this video why people build lava portals in the nether - at first I thought Zylenox pearled into the lava by accident but apparently it's to spawn inside the stronghold more consistently. Thank you for that and as always great video.
@@Couriway Yeah, I should start implementing that into my own runs. By the way, I just find it insane how speedrunners can just come up with these absolutely big brain strats, like, I would have never come up with the kind of things I see in rsg nowadays
It’s crazy how much speedrunners can push the game’s limits. Sub 8 seemed an impossible thought when 1.16 was released! Congrats on the world record Zylenox
I remember there was like 17:xx wr or something long time ago and it was called "almost ubeatable" and now its literally 10 minutes fastet thats insane
As someone who has seen Zylenox from even before he became MCSR (GD times) I can say that his reaction was the most emotion I have seen him feel all this time, all I can say is that this was a deserved WR, close to perfection
Zylenox is crazy good, and he was also a really good geometry dash creator and player. Dude put all his points into gaming skill. Congrats to him for the insane wr
Zylenox is special, whatever game he touches he becomes a god at it. Before MC, Zylenox was an astounding Geometry Dash level creator and a decent player, and now, he holds the freaking random seed world record for minecraft... Absolutelly insane.
I feel like no matter how hard something may seem, speedrunners will always find a way to achieve the impossible. And that, to me, is the beauty of speedrunning.
I really like these type of videos - your commentary as well as the notes you put in the video - I actually learnt about how lava portals are built so that you're low enough to spawn into the stronghold. Great video, great editing, and of course, great run from Zylenox.
It's mindblowing and i somehow imagine the human limit is getting close... I don't see anyone doing it all in much less than 7'30'' even being extremely lucky on every event or decision
Love your live commentary, and the fact that you add notes in editing since it's not possible to talk fast enough to explain everything! Even though I know a lot, I always seem to learn something new in these world record reactions. Hope you keep doing these for future world records :)
Everything in this run is insane, its like what people 1 year ago would've called a god run, hypermodern mapless treasure + ravine portal + fastion + 2 eye throw 100% ninja brain, the only thing it's missing is a 0 cycle at the dragon.
I had this stream playing in the background with no audio, barely paying attention. Didn't even realize it was world record until I saw a bunch of people in his world. Also thanks for not turning his sub 8 Speedrun into a 30 minute breakdown, this was nice and simple
I’ve been a part of the gd and mc communities for a while. Crazy that he went prom putting out gd levels at such a quality unmatched by anyone to setting world records in a completely different game. Absolute god gamer
Yea crazy part is that if that were a blaze bed then the blaze couldn’t drop (without being hit like in the run). But since zylenox lit the tnt it counts as player inflicted damage.
The problem is when you have two TNT, any rods produced by the first explosion might get deleted by the second. I think that's why a lot of speedrunners I see using double TNT (happens even more often in AA) will clear out blazes first and light the tnt after.
ive watched zylenox since his good ol geometry dash days and i would have never expected that a few years later he would get such an insane world record on minecraft
Wow. Having followed mcsr since late 2020 (and then not so much the last months) it's just so insane to see Zylenox and others still optimize and persevere for better times and this run is so cool to see.
Zylenox has been the one person I have been rooting for since the beginning. He used to be a very famous and insane player in a game called geometry dash, which he eventually quit. After he quit I saw him doing speedruns and saw him get 2nd and thought, "Whaaaaaaaaaaa....
Replying to what you said at 7:45, this run was the 3rd fastest stronghold enter at 5:50 (1st is Crookst's 5:27, 2nd is Cube's 5:54) and was the fastest end enter ever at 6:14 (2nd is Crookst's 6:27, 3rd is Feinberg's 6:35. At the time it was only the 6th sub-7 end enter.
Also that fact that Magnetic Maybe broke the SSG WR on the same day is crazy. WR are getting broken left and right again just like that span a few years back
I Haven't watched speedrunning in so long. I first started watching around the 13 minute and 12 minute barriers, and stopped about after the 9:36. It's so crazy how far these runners have come, but I guarantee it's going farther.
MASSIVE GGS TO ZYLENOX!!!! He entirely deserves this, and this run is absolutely amazing! I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched both his video and yours. This is truly a spectacular piece of MCSR history. Zylenox is a legend!
Hey dude! Danny brought me to ur channel but I subscribed (and have been binging your videos lol) because not only is your content awesome but you actually seem like such a cool and sincere guy. You just have such a friendly vibe that brings so much joy to your content and to the community. I hope you blow up like crazy! =)
Dude i used to watch all of this guy's geometry dash videos. He was such a talented crator and now he's such a talented mc player. You can tell the amount of effort he puts into his passions is insane!
@@Couriway It really adds a lot to the video, the explanations help us understand how crazy the run actually is + they make the video very exciting to watch
I've learned so much watching your videos that even in this incredible run I was spotting potential time-saves. What an amazing time and insane to think it could be faster!
Hey everyone! I tried to make this analysis very beginner friendly and highlight of lot of different aspects of the run, let me know what you thought!

Edit- Like you know from inside the inv not the hotbat
@@shdgamer2925 Look at the bed and press the middle button on your mouse.
I like how as speedruns get more quicker Couriway has to commentate faster. Can't wait to hear Couriway slowly becoming Eminem.
@@Baseliaaa ruin.
more quicker ok
@@Baseliaaano dad? sorry i cant fix that
@@apple5293 Did i ask
most important detail was my internet dropping frames during the run lmao
good vid brutha
Tha man
ZYLENOX FRAME DROP CONTROVERSY?!?! LAG SWITCHING PIGLINS?!?!?!
only two replies on zylenox's comment on a video about his run?
@@KingOttac Only 3 replies?
yea
It’s crazy how much speedrunners can push the game’s limits. Sub 8 seemed an impossible thought when 1.16 was released! Congrats on the world record Zylenox
I remember back when people thought sub 10 would be pushing the limits. Fucking insane
I remember there was like 17:xx wr or something long time ago and it was called "almost ubeatable" and now its literally 10 minutes fastet thats insane

GD player here, I was tripping balls when I saw Zylenox's name in the title. Absolutely wild.
@@styxl. SAME DUDE
Same
bro to see how one of the best art creators in gd's history become a top minecraft speedrunner with a world record is insane
ive known him for about 4 years so i feel about the same, the wr tie was the first eureka for me
I love how awesome that is that he opened up the world after the run, it’s so wholesome
Yeah absolutely although i think that its required
He did it in his 2nd place run aswell
@@khiemgom It's not required and I've never seen anyone else do that.
@Cosmic_BUg cosmic hug
Can you tell me how he did it doesn't open to lan require you to be on same network or smthing? I am new to Java so I don't know much
Zylenox is crazy good, and he was also a really good geometry dash creator and player. Dude put all his points into gaming skill. Congrats to him for the insane wr
dude was very good at every game he played
thats something pretty god damn rare
Zylenox is special, whatever game he touches he becomes a god at it. Before MC, Zylenox was an astounding Geometry Dash level creator and a decent player, and now, he holds the freaking random seed world record for minecraft... Absolutelly insane.
One of the most deserved world records ever, massive ggs to zy
hi sirius omg
@@aaaaaaa4760 hi? 😭
"yo we're leaving in 10 min"
"hold up lemme just beat mine craft real quick"
"yo we're leaving in two weeks"
"Ok, that might be enough"
This is where the minute barriers are getting extremely tough to beat
I feel like no matter how hard something may seem, speedrunners will always find a way to achieve the impossible. And that, to me, is the beauty of speedrunning.

he earned this so hard far and away one of the most insane 1.16 runners im so proud
LEGENDARY This might be the best speedrun ever definitely monumental in speedrun history
It is the best speedrun ever. For now, at least - you never really know just how far people can go with minecraft speedrunning.
It's mindblowing and i somehow imagine the human limit is getting close... I don't see anyone doing it all in much less than 7'30'' even being extremely lucky on every event or decision
mike tyson's punch out speedruns are fs harder lmfao. dont say shit if you arent educated
@@tornado100able FSG sub 5 proves that it is definitely possible with tremendous amounts of luck.
Love your live commentary, and the fact that you add notes in editing since it's not possible to talk fast enough to explain everything! Even though I know a lot, I always seem to learn something new in these world record reactions. Hope you keep doing these for future world records :)
Thank you!! Really means a lot i appreciate that
Imagine if he had more pearls and hit the 1 in 8 back dragon zero cycle for a sub 7:30 run. That would've been insane.
Everything in this run is insane, its like what people 1 year ago would've called a god run, hypermodern mapless treasure + ravine portal + fastion + 2 eye throw 100% ninja brain, the only thing it's missing is a 0 cycle at the dragon.
I loved the double flint and steel by zylenox
Zylenox's movement and crafting are so brilliant. Such a mechanically gifted player and such a deserved wr
He went from a popular Geometry Dash player to a world record holding Minecraft speedrunner... what a legend!
I learned lots of new techniques, thanks couri for explaining them for us!
Glad it was helpful!
I had this stream playing in the background with no audio, barely paying attention. Didn't even realize it was world record until I saw a bunch of people in his world. Also thanks for not turning his sub 8 Speedrun into a 30 minute breakdown, this was nice and simple
really great commentary couri!! i've been seeing you go the preemptive route on streams lately, thank you for explaining what to look for with that!
Youre welcome! Glad the explanation helped
I’ve been a part of the gd and mc communities for a while. Crazy that he went prom putting out gd levels at such a quality unmatched by anyone to setting world records in a completely different game. Absolute god gamer
zylenox was already one of the kings of geomtry dash, and now he's entering the hall of fame of minecraft. This man is an absolute legend
It’s about time I saw a speedrunner overlap blaze TNT with killing a blaze via the explosion. Got him a rod too.
Yea crazy part is that if that were a blaze bed then the blaze couldn’t drop (without being hit like in the run). But since zylenox lit the tnt it counts as player inflicted damage.
The problem is when you have two TNT, any rods produced by the first explosion might get deleted by the second. I think that's why a lot of speedrunners I see using double TNT (happens even more often in AA) will clear out blazes first and light the tnt after.
Minecraft speedrun got so fast it's not even long enough to hit the RUclips midroll ads 8 minute mark
Imagine building a dirt shack for your first night in Minecraft and you see “Free The End” in chat.
ive watched zylenox since his good ol geometry dash days and i would have never expected that a few years later he would get such an insane world record on minecraft
Run so fast Couri almost couldnt explain each bit calmly lmao
Great content as always and congrats again to Zy for this amazing milestone
It's insane to me that ANYONE can beat the entire game in less than 8 minutes on a random seed. The skill involved is freaking mind blowing!
Wow. Having followed mcsr since late 2020 (and then not so much the last months) it's just so insane to see Zylenox and others still optimize and persevere for better times and this run is so cool to see.
3 years ago Sub 20 was considered good and now the community has pushed the games limits. Congrats to zylenox!
He’s Internet is slowing down cuz he’s tooo fast 😂😂
Zylenox has been the one person I have been rooting for since the beginning. He used to be a very famous and insane player in a game called geometry dash, which he eventually quit. After he quit I saw him doing speedruns and saw him get 2nd and thought, "Whaaaaaaaaaaa....
So amazing, and the video is so well put together! Well done
Thank you so much!
mad how zylenox went from being a geometry dash player to hypixel to speedrun wr
i miss the old days

zylenox the 🐐
Knew this was coming, was an absolutely epic record, plus the SSG wr was broken as well within the next 24 hours, which is epic. Great video Couri!
Zylenox deserved it truly but the day will never come when couriway gets the wr
The literal goat, couldn't be more deserved GG
From gd legend to skyblock sweat to pro speedrunner. Bros crazy
Also that fact that Magnetic Maybe broke the SSG WR on the same day is crazy. WR are getting broken left and right again just like that span a few years back

Congratulations Zylenox!!!! I can tell you this will not beaten for awhile for the amount of crazy luck and skilled plays you made.
Couriway trying not to say 69420 curses while saying 'he deserves the world record very much, im so happy for him..."
"pathfound" is a new one for me
Zylenox is fast and Amazing!!
bro went from professional gd level builder to professional minecraft speedrunner in like a month
Hey Couri, love the content. It would probably be a while before there's another wr but I'd love to see you run the seed blind.
MASSIVE GGS TO ZYLENOX!!!! He entirely deserves this, and this run is absolutely amazing! I couldn’t stop smiling as I watched both his video and yours. This is truly a spectacular piece of MCSR history. Zylenox is a legend!
It truly was an amazing run…
THE most deserved world record of all time
agreed
im interested to see if sub 5 on this seed is doable but it would be really difficult, might give it a shot to see if i can
Zylenox's menuing is perfect 👌
Thank you for supplying our needs Mr way LOVETHEMETS

@@Couriway It really adds a lot to the video, the explanations help us understand how crazy the run actually is + they make the video very exciting to watch
Legend in Geometry Dash, God in Minecraft
Great Analysis. I'm not an expert minecrafter by any means, so good to have someone explain why experts do certain things.
Ah yes zylenox gd creater and now world record holder
Proud of him
Oh my god, this is absolutely insane!! Can’t wait to see more amazing runs from everyone - they just keep getting faster!!
I like how some people don't have to deal with the first night as they beat the ENTIRE FREAKING GAME before 10 mins
beating the previous WR by 30 seconds is INSANE
The crazy thing is that this can be even faster, especially when looking at all the mistakes in this run! I bet we may see a sub-7 soon!
i don’t think it will be that soon bc we need good luck to get as good as a seed
So glad I got to see the end of this live :>>> thanks pace pals
It's crazy too see a gd player and creator get the minecraft speedrun world record
Nice vid couri! you finally brought the reactions back! i love this style of content 😄 ty for reacting to this insane run! ggs to zylenox
bro i remember being there live for the illumina world record review, wow times have changed (literally lmao)
really appreciate the notes u added in editing
me spending a whole week trying to cycle the dragon and dying :-:
very well put analysis and Congrats to Zylenox for wr
These wrs are getting so fast that Couriway can't even keep up the pace while explaining 🤣
Definitely the most deserved we yet. I think this one will last for a long time. Massive ggs to zy and nice vid couri
yooo i love these types of analysis videos .... appreciate it
Glad you like them!
i went to the toilet instead of checking what the pacepal ping was and i missed wr live kekw
i'm a gd/zy follower and followed mcsr since he quit. congratulations to zy for this wonderful achievement
Yoooo! No way my boi Zylenox FINALLY got the WR! Let's go! Can't wait for his upload of it as well!
Only a former gd player would be this crazy 💀
This is incredible! Well done!
One of the most well played runs
Watching this live was absolutely insane. GG zylenox
The best thing is how fast you have to talk to keep up.
The run was insane but couriway's analysis here is so well done as well
Thank you!
1:07 starts moving
1:23 buried treasure and iron
1:37 wood and blocks
2:11 portal
2:52 housing bastion
3:28 piglin trading
3:48 ender pearls
4:27 fortress and blaze rods
i like how literally right after zy gets hacked he just casually gets the wr
my pc was actually lagging when you said it was zylenox's internet that was making it lag
Wow, this run is insane! Top tier mechanics and strategy meet unbelievable luck. No way this will be beaten anytime soon.
I heckin love couriway
I wonder who is gonna get the record next, honestly there’s VERY few people that have the capabilities now to get it
zylenox will beat it again
what's crazy is without all the unlucky things that happened ( or simply better luck, he still had good luck) sub 7 might have been possible
so happy youre back uploading
I've learned so much watching your videos that even in this incredible run I was spotting potential time-saves. What an amazing time and insane to think it could be faster!
zylenox is a gigachad
whats the actual time? considering there was an amount of time (albeit minimal) paused, it would certainly still be sub 8 but it might be 7:55
also, when is it going to be verified!?
probably will take a while to be verified, but the time will be 7:45 as the timer auto retimes nowadays
@@Couriway oh wow really? thats so cool!
been waiting for this video!
holy guacamole speedrunner beat gaem fast this is incredible
