<blockquote>The first ever real competition of the "Elite" was when a new poster named RaydenEG posted on the Pdark Leagues forum that he couldn't get the cheat for Infiltration SA. I replied a few hours later with a complete strat for it, and Yako replied by saying I was "crazy" in thinking that you could get by the 3rd auto-gun with enough health left. By the end of the day it had become a 3-way competition to see who could get the best time for the level. After about 4 days, we gave up, and I think that Rayden had the WR with a 1:19.<br><br>

Then a cocky poster know as PerfectLight busted in said that he would like to compete, but on a different level than Infiltration. This eventually turned into a competition on Attack Ship SA, where PL came out on top. About a week later, another cocky young man know to us only as "SnapDragon" came on to the scene, and immediately impressed me in the first levels he competed on.<br><br>
