Øyvind Iversen,[1][2] known online as Wirtual, is a Norwegian video game streamer and YouTuber known primarily for playing and competing in the TrackMania racing game series, as well as being a co-host for the Red Bull Faster tournament.[3] He won the Best Speedrun Streamer award at the 2023 Streamer Awards.[4]
Career
[edit | edit source]Iversen is an avid Trackmania player, who makes content about the game and has participated in various Trackmania competitions and events.[5][6]
In 2021, Iversen and a community member known as "donadigo" launched an investigation on Burim "riolu" Fejza, a Trackmania player suspected and later confirmed to be cheating using slow motion to achieve more precise turns.[5] The investigation prompted Nadeo, the developer of Trackmania, to intiate a widespread cheating investigation throughout various games within the franchise and effected the creation of the fan-made competition patch, designed to make cheating more difficult.[7][8][9] Later in July, Iversen participated in the Summer Games Done Quick event, where he played Trackmania blindfolded.[10]
In 2022, Iversen participated in the community-hosted Deep Dip event, where players raced to complete a very difficult map in the form of a tower with no checkpoints, where he finished in second place.[6][11] In 2024, he took part in the Deep Dip II event featuring a similarly designed (though more difficult) tower map, though he later decided to bow out of the competition, citing the overwhelming difficulty and time investment negatively affecting him.[1][6] In 2025, Iversen participated in the Deep Slip event, which featured an ice-themed Deep-Dip-style tower map, becoming the first player to complete the map 12 days after the event began.[12][13][14] He has also released multiple videos on his YouTube channel covering the Deep Dip map.[6][15]
In July of 2022, Iversen released a Trackmania map called Midori as an attempt to create a map for the daily competition, Track Of The Day. Iversen also gave a $1000 prize pool in a time attack mode to encourage people to beat the target time that he set. Iversen revealed that he had used an analog keyboard to drive inputs at a specific percentage not normally possible by the game's standard controls. Nadeo clarified in a social media post that using software to set specific steering values was an unfair advantage and was thus not allowed.[16]
In 2023, Iversen participated in the online amateur chess tournament for streamers, PogChamps.[17] He won 5 points in the group stage and won the consolation bracket.[18]
In 2025, Iversen co-hosted and broadcast the Red Bull Faster tournament organized by Red Bull.[2][19][20]
