| − | ThaRixer started speedrunning in 2011 after being invited to a casual speedrun tournament on YouTube known as IAS or ImASpeedrunner. After the fifth installment of the tournament, known speedrunner Samura1man invited ThaRixer and other members of the community to join Speedrunslive, where daily races of classic videos games would take place. After dedicating most of 2012 to racing, ThaRixer realized that people on SRL and twitch would also stream attempts instead of racing, and this inspired him to pick up Crash Bandicoot 2 and Jak 3 as the first two games he would ever do attempts of. | + | ThaRixer started speedrunning in 2011 after being invited to a casual speedrun tournament on YouTube known as IAS or ImASpeedrunner.

On January 4th, 2020 ThaRixer entered the top 10 in Perfect Dark for the first time, and would climb later in the year to 7th place, which remains his peak placement. His climb to 7th place would show some of his best times yet, setting records on more complicated stages, these include: Rescue Perfect Agent 2:36, Defection Special Agent 0:17, G5 Building Agent 0:33, Infiltration Agent 1:10 and Defense Agent 0:45. The direction of ThaRixer's Perfect Dark career is unclear, since he is known from jumping from game to game, but he was an integral part of the surge of top level competition in 2019 and 2020. | | After [k4] ThaRixer got a bit burnt out but was still playing and pushing for one final milestone.
