Rayan Isran
Rayan "Perfect Ace" Isran is currently very close to becoming the third Dual Champion in the history of The Elite.
Introduction to the Elite
Rayan first found The Elite in 2002 at the age of 7, but his lack of confidence prevented him from joining. In the summer of 2005 he picked up a copy of Perfect Dark and one month later contacted Ryan Dwyer who added him to the rankings.
WAR! 0:25
Shortly thereafter Rayan shocked everyone by tying what was considered one of the best (if not the best) Perfect Dark Agent World Record at the time, WAR! 0:25. Whilst video proof was supplied, being the youngest Eliter ever and claiming to reign from Pakistan, many suspicions were aroused over Rayan's legitimacy. The doubters were silenced when, in what is now one of the most infamous moments in Elite history, he subsequently produced a short film which showed what appeared to be him playing WAR! Agent and acheiving a time of 0:26.
Early career
Rayan's excellent play on WAR! was only a sign of things to come in the future. He continued to play Perfect Dark and in early 2006 became the first PAL player to reach the top 10 since Phil Hughes in 2002.
Rayan then moved over to Goldeneye which he played for a largely uneventful year, ultimately reaching into the Top 25 by the end of 2006. In 2007 he pushed on at an incredible pace. In February Rayan achieved what was regarded as one of the best untied sweeps ever on Train, with records 1:01/1:26/1:52. He then switched between Goldeneye and Perfect Dark for almost a year, finally plateauing at 3rd in PD and 4th in GE; highly commendable rankings for playing only on a PAL system.
NTSC Arrives
Due to his incapability of buying an NTSC system with Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, generous eliters Max Bout and Hugo van der Wolk sent him an NTSC system with Perfect Dark on December 2nd 2007. 17 days later, Rayan released 24 World Records, which immediately made him the World Champion. He continued to play Perfect Dark and completed such amazing untieds as Villa Agent 1:06, Maian Perfect Agent 2:02 and an outrageous G5 sweep of 0:37/0:41/0:52.
After observing this destruction, Patrik Nilsson sent Rayan an NTSC copy of Goldeneye. He went on to obtain many PRs and great untied world records including Train Secret Agent 1:25, Aztec 00 Agent 1:40, Frigate 00A 1:08, Silo 00A 1:23 and he tied what was then considered the best World Record in either game, Silo Secret Agent 1:10. In the course of this rampage, he overtook Bryan Bosshardt and Ilari Pekkala to claim 2nd place in the rankings, behind David Clemens.
Rayan continues to play both Goldeneye and Perfect Dark actively and many expect the crowning of a new Dual Champion to be inevitable.
