'''Matthew "Yako" Yakobina''' is one of the "Founding Fathers" of the [[The Elite|Perfect Dark Elite]]. He could technically be termed the 2nd-ever member of the community (after only [[Ngamer]]), as he was involved in the Elite's first speedrun competition on July 5th, 2000. Though he came up short of the [[Infiltration]] SA 1:19 mark set by [[RaydenEG]] in that challenge, and was also defeated by [[PerfectLight]] in the [[Attack Ship]] SA speedrun that followed, Yako's consistent early PRing paid off once [[SnapDragon]]'s ranking system came online. He peaked at #3 (of 20 total members) on the Point Rankings on June 28th, 2000[http://pub20.ezboard.com/fperfectdarkelitefrm30.showMessage?topicID=221.topic]. | '''Matthew "Yako" Yakobina''' is one of the "Founding Fathers" of the [[The Elite|Perfect Dark Elite]].
