− | Rayan Isran first observed the elite in 2002, at the age of 7, but his lack of confidence to prevented him from joining. At the summer of 2005 after playing some Perfect Dark, he contacted [[Ryan Dwyer]] and finally joined the Elite one month later. 1 month later, he quickly surprised everyone by tying what was considered one of the best (if not the best) Agent World Record at the time, [[WAR!]] Agent 0:25. Of course, being the youngest eliter ever and claiming to reign from Pakistan, many suspicions were aroused in regards to the legitimacy of Rayan. In what is now one of the most infamous moments in elite history, he soon thereafter produced a video which showed what appeared to be him playing WAR! Agent and acheiving a time of 0:26. | + | Rayan first found The Elite in 2002 at the age of 7, but his lack of confidence prevented him from joining.

− | His excellent play on WAR! was only a sign of things to come in the future. He continued to play [[Perfect Dark]] where in early 2006, he was the first [[PAL]] player to reach the top 10 since [[Phil Hughes]] did it in 2002. The Personal Record he achieved to break into the top was Crash Site Perfect Agent 2:00, a stage suggested to play by elite legend [[Ryan White]]. He then moved over to [[Goldeneye 007]] which he played for a year and rose into the top 25 by the end of 2006. He continued playing Goldeneye and in February 2007, he achieved what was regarded as one of the best untied sweeps ever on [[Train]], with records 1:01/1:26/1:52. He then switched between Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for almost a year, finally plateauing at 3rd in PD and 4th in GE; highly commendable rankings for playing only on a PAL system.
| + | Shortly thereafter Rayan shocked everyone by tying what was considered one of the best (if not the best) Perfect Dark Agent World Record at the time, [[WAR!]] 0:25. Whilst video proof was supplied, being the youngest [[Eliter]] ever and claiming to reign from Pakistan, many suspicions were aroused over Rayan's legitimacy. The doubters were silenced when, in what is now one of the most infamous moments in Elite history, he subsequently produced a short film which showed what appeared to be him playing WAR! Agent and acheiving a time of 0:26. |

− | Due to his incapability of buying an NTSC system with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, generous eliters [[Max Bout]] and [[Hugo van der Wolk]] sent him an NTSC system with Perfect dark on December 2 2007. 17 days later, Rayan released 24 world records, which immediately made him the world champion. He continued to play Perfect Dark and completed such amazing [[untied world records]] as [[Villa]] Agent 1:06, [[Maian]] Perfect Agent 2:02 and an outrageous [[G5]] sweep of 0:37/0:41/0:52. | + | Rayan's excellent play on WAR! was only a sign of things to come in the future.

| + | After observing this destruction, [[Patrik Nilsson]] sent Rayan an NTSC copy of Goldeneye. He went on to obtain many PRs and great untied world records including Train Secret Agent 1:25, [[Aztec]] 00 Agent 1:40, [[Frigate]] 00A 1:08, [[Silo]] 00A 1:23 and he tied what was then considered the best World Record in either game, [[Silo Secret Agent 1:10]]. In the course of this rampage, he overtook [[Bryan Bosshardt]] and [[Ilari Pekkala]] to claim 2nd place in the rankings, behind [[David Clemens]]. |
