Came from nowhere, right?

Not exactly... He had a 1:13 before getting WR, and before that a 1:22.. Everyone is somewhat skeptical, though.

pretty big jumps of timesave

No. He absolutely did not come from nowhere. He has a history of absolutely legitimate runs spanning from 1:10-1:57 (a perfectly normal time to start submitting runs, especially when you're from somewhere that doesn't care much about speedrun.com)

If you take a look at his bilibili page (https://space.bilibili.com/255277565), he has around 30 runs that were sub 1:20 before he got his 1:10, he has obviously been playing for a while. Skepticism around a world record run is totally justified, however the mods wouldn't blindly accept a record run without doing their research. He has streamed before, showcasing he can play to that degree of skill, he's also made a video with a handcam. That said, it isn't irrefutable evidence that he isn't cheating - but proving innocence is a mountain of a task.

Aurora and Rhetor are right! This guy is a legitimate runner who just happened to beat the record by a long shot.

All I will say is ccfst didn't come out of nowhere either

Eyy, it’s Former WR holder Stillow!

Did yckzss216 use the test build?

I dunno. All that matters though is that he has the world record!
