A Top Speedrunner Was Caught FAKING a Minecraft World Record - FlowBee Cheating Scandal 

It was good toast. I regret nothing.

Imagine faking a world record speedrun just to impress a girl who's lesbian

That dancing gif is so annoying but I can’t stop looking at it

Imagine simping for someone who is in a relationship. Even if Krystl wasn't a lesbian, he shouldn't simp for someone in a relationship.

"For reference I'll put an amogus on screen" First time seeing this guy and I already love him

So a nerdy straight dude throws away his career over a lesbian in a relationship. How is this both completely predictable and absolutely wild at the same time so successfully?

The reason he stated that he cheated actually completely makes perfect sense, he's overly manipulative and even when exposed to breaking the trust of anyone in the speedrun community he still tries to safe his character by making up a story about how he did it all for the girl which must be the most creepy thing I've ever seen someone do to someone who also has a girlfriend?... There's so many layers of creepiness here it blows my mind.

"Mom, dad, how did you meet each other?" "Well, it all started with this minecraft speedrun..." -literally nobody ever

So Flowbee cheated the run to impress someone who already had a girlfriend. This is not moral but tbh this is probably one of the saddest reasons to cheat.

It's obvious that FlowBee's biggest misstep was not changing his render distance to 17 in the nether like Big Tony did.

Some amazing way that Flowbee act with his love confession during a goddamn apology and also the complete ignorance of the laws of sexuality when the person you love is actually lesbian and so in the end, his virgin self got the biggest face slap of speedrun history.

Minecraft is such a cool speedrun because it requires an insane amount of improvisation and decision making. It makes it obvious when someone knows exactly where they’re going compared to a genuine RSG.

Having read the apology prior, “Such a skilled runner would never forget something as simple as a food chest” was so good

Ah, yes, the old keep them distracted with a *dancing gif* whilst cheating method.

this video taught me more about speedrunning than my friend could, and he knew the game head to toe, also this inspires me to be a speedrunner but im way too lazy for that

At least flow bee didn’t make it obvious that they were cheating, a lot of speed run cheaters give themselves full netherite in the beginning of their runs.

Imagine losing the WR because your forgot a food chest and then confessing your simp love in an apology

So basically he cheated to try to impress a girl? And I thought dream’s excuse was bad

5:59 I can see the nether bricks for the spawner but it still is weird to go there without any signs that it is a spawner (All that was there was nether brick not nether fences or blazes)

flowbee's "world record" world could also have had increased rates, since the loading screen didn't take as long. This means they have been on the world before.

Too embarrassed to admit he forgot the food chest so he faked a run where he forgot the food chest LOL

“This isn’t concrete evidence, but it’s the next best thing” So, concrete powder evidence?

Thanks @The Weekly Thing for the speed running debunks! I am really enjoying these!!

5:58 not defending flowbee nor saying he didnt cheat, but you clearly can see more fortress and they could have (based off the height) guessed that there was a blaze spawner.

Word from the Old and Wise: "Never get distracted by the dancing gif, There is always something Sus in the Shadows" -Sun Tzu, The Art of Exposing

this man literally made an entire fake speedrun because he wanted to clap some cheeks lmaoo

His excuse for cheating is literally the plot for a regular show episode. He almost angered the god of speedrunning lmao

It’s amazing how you can tell so much information in so little time!

“I can’t get a gf so I’m gonna betray an entire community” *yeah seems legit*

Uh why is no one mentioning Flowbee flirting with multiple minors? That seems quite a bit worse than just cheating lol

5:57 though I agree with you completely about this run being suspicious, you can indeed see more part of the fortress behind that lava flowing down in the middle of the screen. .

the background music is from Mass Effect 3 right? XD you bring back my memory thank you

Speedrunning community has my deepest respect for being this serious about what they do. Seriously.

Good analysis but I find myself getting distracted by flow's dancing bee girl .gif

I know this is suppose to be a speedrunner exposing video but. That gif is freaking adorable.

11:30 wait I'm 17 and have been called cutie before.. why is that bad? I've been called that from both my female and male adult friends

ngl I laughed my ass off when it turned out Krystl already had a girlfriend. Such a bruh moment for Flowbee, don't be a simp

To think that this cheating scandal wasn't even the worst thing they did

Love the use of Mass Effect music, so calming.

5:59, I can actually see more Nether Brick blocks behind the lava, and I noticed them before the video progressed; however, it's absolutely true that in a high-stakes speedrun environment you probably wouldn't pay much attention to the line of discolored red pixels amidst the background of other red pixels.

The dead pan delivery of these lines, especially the “I’m going to put an amogus on screen for that long” makes this so much better, amazing job on this one chazman

FlowBee didn't even show himself switching graphics to fancy! Very "sus"!

"the ftl soudtrack is pog" -sun tzu, the art of war

Great video :) Where did you get the music used during the video? I really like it.

I'm sorry that fake Mario run is still the funniest thing ever

The irony is that when he got horsey’s fsg seed he said that he won’t submit it because of morals but then he proceeded to cheat in rsg.

this video has been getting reccomended to me so I finally watched it, and I probably should have months ago, it's very good and learning more about the speedrunning community is pretty fun

Honestly this is just sad. I feel extremely sorry for this guy, even though I don't know him or whatever he had done may it be good or bad. Winning someone's interest/love should not be based on impressing them. A person that likes you for your "skills" one day might start liking someone else because they might have better skills than you. Honestly a relationship should be based off of a strong bond between two people. Not even sure if this guy knew that girl in a more intimate way (by this i mean things like her name or how she looks like etc). This isn't a movie or an anime, the real world is the place where there are no superheroes or main characters, there can be as many good endings and bad endings. The evil can get away with causing pain most of the times and unfortunately for the most of us or i should say the not fortunate enough of us, things never go the way we want them to. Even though there are no main characters, people with power or simply people that have a following (they're popular) will always rule over those who don't. Whoever is at the top decides what's right and what's wrong and often enough, it's all wrong. I'm tired of the sick society we live in and honestly i can't wait for it to change, I'll do my best for it to happen. Now i know i went a lot over the top with this, most of the things i typed have nothing to do with the context of the video but i hope you get my point.

Psychologically speaking, showing others that you commit mistakes as a normal, not perfect person would, makes you more trustworthy and likeable to others except under very specific contexts, this one not being one of them. So if he wanted Krystl to like him better, it was an overall better idea to just say he messed up but maybe in a funny way as in "yeah so I may or may not have lost a potentially great run because i forgot the food chest". It would have been really funnier and more sympathetic than "i got a great run but lost it to ender eyes", would not have been a lie, would not have been a risk to his reputation and speedrunning career, would not have been the pettiest shit to ever be witnessed in the mcspeedrunning community and would have been an overall better choice.

2:14 Flowbee was using duncan’s reset mod, the reason the “stop reset & quit” button didn’t appear is because that only appears when using the auto reset feature. This means flowbee had the auto-reset mod but he didn’t actually use it, presumably because he wanted to inject a seed and you can’t do that w/ the auto reset feature

Love the background music from Mass Effect.

Love the mass effect music in the beginning

Dremguy: cheats Dream: one ups by “accidentally” cheating Flowbee: decides to cheat AND flirt with minors

bro why do people do this its super upsetting

Is that the FTL music in the background? It's been forever since I've played that but dang it brought me back

"asked me on a MC date" is by far the funniest abuser accusation that could be made about someone

**everyone stops doing fake speed runs after this video** Exposers : Damn what do we do now?

UPDATE: He has admitted to cheating on all of his sub 15 runs except for one

at 6:00 you can sort of see the nether bricks behind the lava, so it's possible that he could have seen that and run towards the blaze spawner. great video anyways :D

Is the background music from FTL (Faster Than Light)?? Because I feel like it is, yet I'm not completely sure, and it's bugging me so much...

#FlowBeeCheatedBigTonyDidnt

"He could've just made a mistake and gotten lucky." Where have I heard that one before?

If a good roleplayer decided to speedrun, they would know to shadow metagame this information rather than blatantly metagame it.

Not related, but what is the gif played at the corner of flowbee's screen? I been looking for it but no luck

its so ironic not just that she's with someone, but that she has a girlfriend as well

And the fact the mod was a straight savage and told him she was taken made this all the more funny 😂

actually at 6:00 when you said you couldn't see any of the fortress in that direction you in fact could. It was slightly visible to the side of the falling lava

guys i ate dumplings for breakfast and it was pretty good. honestly in my opinion, i would totally eat dumplings again for breakfast

That's is actually an insane excuse, I don't know whether to feel bad or just laugh

watched this video about when it came out, awesome vid.

So, I have no idea who Flowbee is/was or that all of this went on, and I can say, this was a random recommended video that I found fascinating, if only to know that Minecraft speedrunners are *_THIS_* passionate and regimented about this stuff. Fascinating and respectable.

"So. In summary FlowBee faked a major world record, betraying the trust of the entire community because, he was down bad for a minecraft leaderboard mod. Who has a girlfriend." If that isn't the most 7th grade reason for faking a speedrun, idk what is. Edit: Here's the timestamp 13:01

"I Seriously believe I am one of the best at calculated travel"

Imagine faking a speedrun and betraying the trust of an entire community because you were down bad for someone who's already taken

I remember watching this when it came out, first vid I’ve seen from the weekly thing

Moral of the story: never underestimate the speedrun community.

Oh wow another one caught in 4k

dude is a great example of the saying "lies are harder to keep up than just telling the truth from the start."

you actually CAN see a bit of the fortress behind the lava stream if you're paying very close attention. that said, i had to pause and rewind multiple times to be sure i was seeing it right. if i had been actively playing the game at the time, i'd probably have missed it.

Ngl but I’m not even disappointed that Flowbee cheated. I’m more disappointed that he was called out so easily. Like bro istg I could most definitely fake a run better than that. But I mean I’d prolly still get caught. Props to the moderators for being amazing at their job.

I completely agree he's a cheater, there's so much 'suspicious behaviour' in the last 15 runs or so that he's uploaded that just prove that he's a cheater. I do find the 'i was in a call with someone i liked' a pretty hilarious excuse!

Love the Mass Effect background music. 🎶

There are 2 badasses in this vid: eleventybillion roasting flowbee and Krystle for toast.

5:58 When you say there is no more fortress to be seen straight ahead, a part of the fortress is clearly visible to the right of the lava column, not that it changes the cheating but yeah

There is NOTHING more humiliating than being caught cheating a speed run in a block game 🤣

"He's gathered far less information than he should have, and he's simply going in the right direction anyway." perfect way to sum up my freshman year

5:54 you say you can't see anymore of the fortress that way, but I immediately spotted the room in the background that, if you want to get to it, would be quicker to go straight and cut across to.

It just pisses me off that he still claims his other runs are legit when he does the same exact shit he does in the run that was proven to be cheated on the ones that can't be proven/disproven.

Flowbee definitely could have gotten a world record if they changed to fancy graphics 😤

I will make a defense of the portal room thing. When adrenaline is running high things feel slower and i myself have video where if I didn't know what I was watching I'd have thought there was hacking/cheating involved because in the game shotguns have a white light at the end of the barrel (common knowledge in the game) I personally never counted how many frames it was in but when watching it back i have to slow down the video to even catch a glimpse of what felt so obvious when i played it. Sometimes what looks impossible on video wasnt as unrealistic during the gameplay

Yo, the ending to this video is hilarious😂

“Top speedrunner caught faking a run” *ah shit, here we go again*

at this point, there are so many faked speedruns that someone can take all their mistakes, and make a perfect undetectable speedrun!! 🤣

Nice I don't usually hear mass effect music in videos

is there a category for set seed runs? becouse hunting existing records like this could be also fun. like hunting records in trackmania on the same track again and again

Honestly the reason for cheating on that speedrun is incredibly stupid. If I was in his spot I would have fully admitted to throwing a run because I forgot a foodchest. That will definitely get a good laugh out. And on top of that, which is more impressive a: getting a wr now or b: throwing a run of my own stupidity and still have the grit to continue grinding out a wr and do it later?

If every apology in flowbee's "apology" letter was a seasoning, Gordon Ramsay would throw up.

The gif was cute. The person behind it? Not so much lol. Good job to the people who exposed this person.

the fact im only finding out about this now makes this way more hilarious to me

Dang I was kinda sad about the incident I really thought flowbee had skill to show
