Mike "Mgay" Gaydeski joined The Elite in July 2003 with a batch of GoldenEye times that were completely and utterly awful. Over the next few years, he climbed the ranks slowly, peaking somewhere in the upper 30s in 2006. He has achieved a total of 10 World Records in his career, only 1 of which remains. He also played Perfect Dark, achieving a few notable times, such as Rescue SA 2:22. He also became one of the few people to complete all 21 levels on License to Kill. He has also competed in Mario Kart 64.

At the peak of his activity, Mike was an important member of The Elite. He updated the Perfect Dark License to Kill rankings (of which he was the only active member). He also contributed greatly to the 2006 Summer Contest, where he was chosen as a member of the Selection Committee, wrote a large number of bios, and ran the contest while Ngamer was on vacation.

Since his return in June 2009, Mike has achieved a small number of PRs in GoldenEye and Perfect Dark, made frequent appearances on The DK and Comet Show, attended the 2009 and 2010 Virginia meets, and has remained active in chat (except when school or work are eating his free time, which is frequently).

Despite his ostensibly perpetual lack of activity, Mike retains a cult following within The Elite. He is perhaps best known for his sense of humor, ability to create romantic piano atmospheres, insane trumpet skills, and atrocious luck in Mario Kart tournaments.
