assuming 'run' involves more than just the gameplay session on stream, the article says he boosted and had other people playing to help the account

@strutheo Surely 'run' refers to the sub-two minute run in the Artificer's Pit, as referenced in the description

even then i dont see how this isnt 'not genuine'? he didnt play the account to that point, or hes on another account, he just did it to look like he broke the record when he clearly is not normally able to?

fine with NA i guess @mods /shrug

@strutheo "run" IMHO is the run itself and not prep work.

@strutheo

The screenshotted article starts with

"In an insane leap, Elon musk looks to have become the number one diablo 4 player in the world"

Being a highly ranked player was fake.

Wait, what's the evidence here? I don't see evidence that he cheated on that Diablo 4 run?

the market is 'not genuine' and i defined it as being manipulated, and he admits to having a boosted account and/or people play on his account

Does the question not refer to a specific period of game play, and the evidence refer to Musk's account in general?

It's not obvious that these two things match.

i dont see how we can accept his statements that he cheated up to that point and then grant that the run is genuine ?

Evidence has come out showing he cheated:

Related market:

What if he has a team of strategists on payroll creating the most perfect strategy and training him to do it, but the run itself was 'pure'

How does this resolve if he exploited a bug?

@TimothyJohnson5c16 This is what speedruns are, right? Unless he advertised it as a glitchless run this seems fine. I've watched dozens of speedruns of people duping items or glitching through walls, it's how they get so fast.
