| Everyone agrees his first domination era was 2008, where he was champion of '''6''' Video Games at the same time'''. In that time, he also ripped apart 007 NightFire, eventually dominating Ben Southward, and forming an Elite Team that went on to completely max out every time in the game by 2011. That is until late 2011, where DL was champion of '''15''' games as of December 21, 2011. ''As of January 27 2012, he is champion of 17 games.'' As of March 2, 2012, he is champion of 11. Since Mid-2008, many have called this the Wave of Darkness, DarkLight93's completely unstoppable First Person Shooter domination era. Around Late 2011/Early 2012 DL started to focus less on Speed Running, and start to convert over to the Competitive Side of gaming, with the goal of sweeping the gaming community under a cloud of Darkness, and to gain numerous championships. In April 2012, DarkLight93 developed a more dark and isolated persona then in the past. | | Everyone agrees his first domination era was 2008, where he was champion of '''6''' Video Games at the same time'''.
