Adam "Flechr" Verbsky is a 52nd place GoldenEye player from Ohio, which is ranked as the 3rd worst state in the country.

Adam posted his first time (Runway Agent 0:24) in March 2018 after watching RWhiteGoose's well known GoldenEye SpeedLore series. He slowly rose up the ranks, getting times like Dam Agent 53 and Runway Agent 23 less than a month after he joined. He has built up a small but steady Twitch viewership on his Twitch Channel.

He gained notoriety in The Elite for his early streams captured with a webcam with a mirror being used as a facecam, and his goals of tying the untied Runway 00 Agent 0:28 set by Ryan "Graviton" Gibbs, and getting the Aztec 00 Agent world record whilst skipping the body armor.

An example of Adam's primitive streaming techniques.

Month of Aztec

May 2018, the Month of Aztec, was a special month-long series of streams where Adam would play almost nothing but the Aztec level on all difficulties, with some Statue therapy in between. Adam managed to improve his personal bests from 2:20 to 1:32 on Agent, 2:53 to 1:41 on Secret Agent, and 3:48 to 1:46 on 00 Agent. He compiled the best moments from these streams into a special celebration video.

Videos

Something unique about Adam and something he's been trying keep consistent with his whole career, is that he has a video posted for every improvement on any of his times since his first submitted time. He has also made special celebration videos for more impressive times and events like Dam Agent 0:53 and the aforementioned Month of Aztec in what he calls the "Initiation" playlist.
