The best comments

The news does not mention some important details, namely this decision, they made a couple of months before the trial between Bill and Twin Galaxies, there was no public verification of his records, in the video presented there is no evidence that the charges were false, or that a new record is a legitimate record. Judges from the book of records have already recorded so many game records that later turned out to be a fake (the same Todd Rogers with his record in Dragster) that they (judges) have no faith. And the most important thing is how Guinness Book of Records works at all, and it works so that in order for your record to be confirmed by their judges and subsequently published, you need to make a considerable contribution. Today, in principle, any person can set a record there … Of course for his money, therefore, to this day, the Guinness Book is closer to PR agency (very doubtful, recently, one speedranner in Mario signed a contract with them, and now they went to throw cops on the mario on Mario from other users on YouTube) than to the legitimate list of records. To view more or less adequate lists of game records, it is better to refer to the same Twin Galaxies or Speedrun.Com

If my memory serves me, then there was no “tournaments” in the recreation center since the 80s.

If we talk about tournaments from the 80s, and the results from the 90s, I believe that he knocked out the records honestly, after which he became very close to the owner of Twin Galexis. But nothing could last for eternity and he was ahead of him, however, because of his vanity, Billy began to fake results. Being close to Walter Dey, the owner of Twin Galexis, (and also likely because of the personal motives of Act, because Billy was a media personality), the results of Mitchel counted dubious truthfulness without a thorough verification.

Either a bribe or were afraid of litigation. But in general, I’m already waiting for the Mitchela himself will be dried for slander on the very tomatoes.

To defend the title, in July 2019, Mitchell repeated his perfect account in Pac-Man, and in August took first place in the Donkey Kong tournament.

Hmm, I visible my eyes hollowed and missed. But, in general, it would be nice to leave at least the name of the tournament, because I did not find it in Google. And in any case, this does not cancel the fact that its results in 2005, 7 and 10 were fabricated.
