He could give them a full second head start and still win pretty reliably. He's just really good at the mechanics of FTE races. I had never met the guy before in my life, yet the first time I heard him do a race training session I was impressed, he reminded me of Kelzaraz. He knows every little trick to every race, and he practices. A lot.

There must be old recordings that show him practicing these runs on a private server, which could be uploaded for public viewing to substantiate these claims.

Ultimately, the crux is that *even if Stunningly was using a script to get a 100ms jump*, it would be largely inconsequential in the grand scheme. The fact he gains 2000-5000ms more of a lead during the actual race is much more impressive in my opinion than his fast jumps. He reminds me of what Kelzaraz used to say - if you stop strafing for even a split second during a race, you failed. Point is, until you master the mechanics, you can't even truly understand why you're losing.

If the player was willing to cheat in order to gain an "inconsequential" advantage, it follows then that they would also be using the same or similar method throughout the race wherever possible to secure FTE, otherwise the risk wouldn't be worth the reward. If someone has already committed to breaking the rules, risking everything, they will benefit from doing so as much as possible, which seems to be the case overall with just how many FTEs were had. Who knows though? A few less FTEs here and there, and maybe nobody would have suspected anything.

More questionable now than impressive. Another video focusing on this portion of the race would have been great, but unlikely now that it isn't necessary given the change.
