Today marks the verification of the 1,000ᵗʰ lost sector speedrun!
When I started tracking lost sector speedruns with my spreadsheets three years ago, I never thought we'd be able to post your records on speedrun.com. It's crazy to see how far we've come. I want to thank all the sector runners for their dedication. We wouldn't be celebrating this milestone without you.
So far, this season has been wild; We've received over 300 new submissions from 35 unique runners. Most sectors have had their all-time records broken. We finally added the Planet% categories, and so many of you participated in the bounty. I can't wait to see what happens next!
I also want to give some praise to H4sh and SheckelBoi for their work regarding the lost sector leaderboards in recent weeks. Just this week alone, we've received over 25 new submissions. These two have verified almost all of these runs within a couple of hours of submission. A far cry from the 21 day window that speedrun.com asks us to abide by.
Once again, thank you to all the runners who have submitted a time to the leaderboards, and I wish you all the best in your future runs!
