Twitch streamer xQc’s latest attempt to beat fellow streamer Forsen’s Minecraft speedrunning record ended in a hilarious mistake that cost him a promising run.
The Rivalry between xQc and Forsen
The rivalry between xQc and Forsen started years ago when their communities egged them on to take on each other’s Minecraft speedrunning records. In January 2023, xQc finally beat Forsen’s record after two years of trying. However, Forsen clapped back two months later, shaving two whole minutes off the record.
The Challenge of Minecraft “Any%” Speedrunning
Minecraft “any%” remains one of the most popular speedrunning categories for both newcomers and veterans of the scene. Its popularity is due to the ease of getting into running the game, with plenty of room left for skill expression and mastery of the game’s mechanics for experts.
The Mistake that Cost xQc’s Latest Run
xQc’s latest run showed promise as he made it to the Nether in an impressive amount of time. However, tragedy struck when he accidentally crafted 16 golden helmets, depleting all the gold bars he needed to proceed with the speedrun. Speedrunners tend to craft a golden helmet and wear it to avoid aggroing mobs. Still, xQc’s misclick caused him to fill his entire inventory with golden helmets, wasting precious resources he could have used for bartering. The unsatisfactory amount of Ender Pearls and String gained from bartering caused him to give up on the run.
X Continues to Speedrun Minecraft
Despite the setback, xQc continues to speedrun Minecraft, motivated to beat Forsen’s record. The streamer’s latest mistake resulted in a hilarious reaction and a memorable clip that will undoubtedly be talked about in the Minecraft speedrunning community.
In conclusion, speedrunning is a challenging and exciting activity that has become popular among gamers worldwide. xQc and Forsen’s rivalry highlights the competitiveness and passion that drives speedrunners to beat records and push the boundaries of their skills. While xQc’s latest run may have ended in a mistake, his determination to beat Forsen’s record shows that speedrunning is about more than just winning. It’s about the journey, the challenges, and the moments that make the community of speedrunners so vibrant and exciting.
