Fans of speedrunning rejoice! Awesome Games Done Quick returns with numerous famous speedrunners playing through games to collect money for charity. This time the charity is the Prevent Cancer Foundation and the event is sponsored by companies such as Twitch.
Fully online
Normally the stream and speedrunning would be done at a specific location, but thanks to the current COVID-19 pandemic that wasn’t a possibility. Therefore this time Awesome Games Done Quick is done completely online. To offer fans a better experience, subscribers can join the crowd to help the runners and cheer them on via the website GamesDoneQuick.com.
The wait is over: #AGDQ2021 has begun! Join us for a week of exciting speedrunning action all week long as we raise money for @preventcancer! We can’t be together in person to watch, but we can still bring a little crowd to your life, GDQ style! https://t.co/Fuz1uCieoK pic.twitter.com/PLyE2QMdxT
