DreamWasTaken Investigation Results
Hello @everyone. We would like to apologize for taking so long to address this issue. Being both far more complicated and high-profile than previous situations, we wanted to be sure to handle this properly and ensure we made the correct decision.
The full results of our investigation can be found in our paper at https://mcspeedrun.com/dream.pdf.

We have decided to reject DreamWasTaken's 19:24 in 1.16 RSG. It has been demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt to be illegitimate. We thoroughly investigated every possible reason for his extreme odds, including biased data and Minecraft glitches, and could not find any conceivable explanation. The chance that Dream received his pearl barter and blaze rod luck is extreme enough that we can be sure this run was as illegitimate as any run we have ever rejected.
We would like to reiterate that, as stated in the Minecraft Speedrun Evidence Standards (http://bombch.us/DOkA), rather than disallowing former cheaters from submitting future runs, we place the burden of exhaustive proof on them in order to accept it.
