Many new players had joined the ranks recently and picked up a World Record quickly, so an early WR was nothing particularly shocking. What did surprise people was the level on which Ilari’s came. Dam Agent 0:53 was one of the most controversial World Records at the time. Only two players, [[Boss]] and [[Dan Berube]] had claimed the time, but whilst Boss had provided video proof, Berube had not. As an otherwise very low ranked player with a notoriously inflammatory attitude, Dan was scrutinised heavily and his failure to provide evidence left many, especially [[Wouter Jansen]], infuriated.

Indeed this wasn’t just an exact replication of the strategy Boss had used on his video. Ilari had invented a new technique that produced a more consistent result for him.

Despite the frantic pace of World Records, Ilari was still only ranked in second place overall, behind Bryan Bosshardt. However unlike Ilari, Bryan had always been incredibly slow with proof. Although no one had ever questioned whether he had in fact got the times he was claiming, the speed at which Boss released vids frustrated many of the top players.

At the beginning of 2007 the Elite administration had had enough. Bryan was rolled back to his proven times until he released new videos, thus in January 2007 Ilari became the number one ranked player in the world.

Ilari had untied Facility 00 Agent in a time of 0:55. The 8 minute long video titled ‘[http://www.thengamer.com/GE/22-Misc/Illu%20in%20real%20life.wmv Illu in Real Life]’, released on 10th January 2007, included messages referring to his new status as the Goldeneye Champ, pending Bryan sending proof. The former No.1 didn't appear impressed.

Ilari resumed his career on Aztec, initially untying Secret Agent with [http://www.thengamer.com/GE/19-Aztec/Illu%20-%20Aztec%20Secret%20Agent%201.40.wmv 1:40] and 00 Agent with [http://www.thengamer.com/GE/19-Aztec/Illu%20-%20Aztec%2000A%201.45.wmv 1:45] with some minor alterations in the strats.

Still perfect execution and a little luck would be needed if Ilari was to set a new world record on Secret Agent difficulty.

The day after untying Jungle 00 Agent, Ilari sat down to play Secret Agent and soon was on a run where everything did begin perfectly.
