Dream became known as a Minecraft YouTuber originally, but over the past year, he\u2019s also secured a whole new wave of fans from playing with popular creators like Mr Beast and Corpse Husband. While he continues to diversify his new content, he sticks to his roots by continuing to hold speedrunning streams where he tries to complete Minecraft in the shortest amount of time possible, something he has had great success with. However, in a tweet posted on December 11 Dream revealed that his latest 1.16 speedrun record had been rejected after review. According to the YouTuber, the record had been considered \u201ctoo unlikely to verify.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/dreamwastaken2\/status\/1337523741757239299 Dream highlighted that a video had been uploaded to YouTube by a head mod and YouTuber Geosquare \u201cclickbaiting Cheating Speedrunning in order to get views.\u201d The star also called it \u201ctotal BS.\u201d Read More: Shroud explains why he stopped playing PUBG &#8211; He also raised some doubt over the quality of the verdict, revealing that he \u201ccurrently [has] multiple moderators messaging me that they believe that the verdict was biased, and that they might quit the mod team.

What kind of \u201cinvestigation\u201d was this? \u2014 dream (@dreamwastaken2) December 11, 2020 The video in question was uploaded by YouTuber Geosquare along with the mod team on December 11, entitled \u2018Did Dream Fake His Speedruns \u2013 Official Moderator Analysis.\u2019 In the video he used the official investigation results document from the Minecraft Speedrunning Team to supplement his theory that Dream could have cheated with his speedruns. In the description of the video, Geosquare said that \u201cI feel like this wasn\u2019t communicated strongly enough but this video is NOT my content. Please please DO NOT interact with my channel after watching this, this is just a PSA from the mod team.\u201d Geosquare also said that he\u2019d disabled monetization on all his other videos as he \u201cdidn\u2019t want to gain anything, because principally I find that abhorrent.\u201d With Dream\u2019s original tweet about the speedrun rejection receiving over 130,000 likes on Twitter, it\u2019s clear that many of his fans are invested in seeing a more thorough review of the accusations, but as of yet it is unclear how that will be conducted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minecraft YouTuber Dream hits back over speedrun cheating accusations YouTube: DreamMinecraft YouTuber Dream has spoken out after one of his speedruns was rejected on the grounds of alleged cheating, citing a video made by a head mod and YouTuber GeoSquare as the root of the allegations.
