First popularized by Dream and GeorgeNotFound, multiple Twitch streamers tried their hands on Minecraft speedrun. As many fell off in their attempt, xQc and Forsen prevailed on top. Their Minecraft feud began in 2020 when they began attempting to obtain higher speedrun times. Forsen eventually held on to a time of 20 minutes and 38 seconds from April 2021 to January 2023 after considerable back-and-forth.

But this changed when xQc got the best of him again in January 2023. The streamer set a record of 20 minutes and 5 seconds, beating Forsen’s record by a marginal half-minute. But Forsen got back on top again with a considerable gap after recording a time of 18 minutes and 10 seconds. The final verdict, as of now, is xQc has got the best of Forsen yet again with a gap similar to the one Forsen previously had.
