Early Career

Schwarz began his speedrunning career in early 2017 by speedrunning the popular flash game, The World's Hardest Game. Having been a prominent figure in the cup stacking community, another hobby that emphasizes speed, he was attracted quickly to a lot of speedrunning content. Eventually, he discovered GoldenEye speedrunning videos suck as Ryan Lockwood's Streets 1:12 and RWhiteGoose's Speedlore episodes. Schwarz first attempted to speedrun GoldenEye through a random emulator he found online, which ran very poorly and wasn't a great experience. After spending all of July 2017 using this emulator, he eventually stopped. In November 2017, however, Schwarz returned to the Elite and was quickly welcomed by the young upstart Irie Butler. Schwarz enjoyed Irie's daily streams and joined Irie's discord where he had his first interactions with other players. In December, Schwarz received his speedrunning equipment for GoldenEye, and posted his first times on December 27th.
