P14235: History and Strategy of Minecraft Speedruns in Splash 2020 (Nov. 14 - 15, 2020)
This video, I made it so that students coming in will get to know about Minecraft Speedrunning. This goes way back before Dream even started his YouTube channel. We'll get to see Illumina, Benex, NiceTwice, TheeSizzler, Dimeax, Korbanoes and other big name speedrunners, and see their strategies throughout the years. Will they beat Minecraft (quick enough)? We're about to find out. Also, only a small percentage of people that watch my videos are actually subscribed, so if you end up liking this video, consider subscribing, it's free and you can always change your mind in the future. Enjoy the video.
