Current WR NG run is invalid?

Quagnoth uses an item out of his inventory at 23m 45s into the VOD. You wouldn't have this item on a NG run. So, this run should be invalid. Correct?

The item he used is the fireteam medallion, the community (overwhelmingly) decided that you were allowed to use it in NG runs as it makes the run faster and reduces the luck needed for the run

There's nothing stopping you from doing a ng run without the fireteam medallion. The fm just speeds up getting the loot

Also my run (second place) is without a fireteam medallion so its not impossible to get that time without the medallion.
