What happens when one of the most competitive and popular speedrunning games gets a cheated run accepted onto the leaderboards?

I just want to note that this is not a drama video! This cheated world record occurred over a year and a half ago, everything here is presented purely for your entertainment, not to "expose" anyone, so please be respectful to any individuals mentioned in the video!

This video is not an actual speedrun world record, nor a speedrun tutorial. This video is a showcase/storytelling of a cheated world record speedrun, explaining the competition, context, and cheating methodology that went into creating the cheated speedrun, so that the viewer can best understand the situation. This video is very similar to my "How Speedrunners Skip..." videos, but with a storytelling twist.

I used a new microphone this video! My old blue yeti broke so I purchased an AKG P220. I'm still getting used to it, and this mic picks up a bit more background noise than I'm used to. Sorry if you hear any background noise!
