Guille6785 Posted October 30, 2024 Share Posted October 30, 2024 I am extremely proud to announce that the next tournament courtesy of the DST Speedrun.com community is starting on November 1st and will run until December 2nd. This tournament will be HUGE, with a total prize pool of $520 split across a variety of prizes. In this challenge, players will be tasked with killing as many bosses as possible within the first 10 days in any of 3 seeds that have been picked out by the organizers, each one boasting its own set of benefits and challenges to overcome. Players will be allowed to compete in Solo and Duo categories. You're not allowed to pick Wolfgang or pick 2 of the same character (in case of Duo) so players will have to get creative and adapt without having immediate access to high DPS, and take advantage of potential synergies between different characters. To make things more interesting, runners will be able to use the plus start setting in this tournament. This gives them 3 entire chests full of goodies right at the start of the game to get prepared faster. In addition to that, many world settings will be allowed to be changed at the runners' discretion in order to access more bosses, such as starting season and the presence of wild rifts. The prizes will be divided as follows, courtesy of @Carrion_DS, @Pixil, @MrMNWorm and @mr. brj SOLO: 1st Place Winner: $120 USD 2nd Place: $65 USD 3rd Place: $35 USD DUO: 1st Place Winner: $130 USD 2nd Place: $70 USD 3rd Place: $40 USD (Prizes are split between both participants) And since this tournament is for everyone to participate, we will also be handing out three $20 USD consolation prizes, which will be given out at the end of the tournament to three random participants who submitted a run but didn't win. This means everyone has a chance to win something, so you don't lose anything by submitting a run! The seeds will be revealed inside the DST Speedrun.com Discord once the tournament starts. If you're interested in participating, join via the following link: https://discord.gg/HhGVQ3puyF We hope to see you there!

Paypal is one option but it's not the only option. The initial currency is USD if that helps. She's allowed, her speedrun times aren't as fast as you might think. My understanding is that Wolfgang was banned so that players didn't feel they need to play Wolfgang to achieve a good time. Duplicate boss kills don't award additional points. Seeds aren't even on the discord yet, they'll go live when the tournament starts (I have no clue if they'll be shared here or not when that happens though).

Cus woodie can spawn 50 treeguard and kill them over and over and over and over... Each boss only counts once for the purposes of this tournament; from the official rules the list of unique bosses are as follows: Spoiler The following enemies will be counted as 1 boss for the purposes of the tournament. Each unique entry on this list will count as a boss only once in each run; for example, killing 10 spider queens will only count as having killed 1. -Ancient Guardian -Antlion -Bee Queen -Celestial Champion (each of its 3 phases counts as a separate boss) -Crab King (Without Pearl’s Pearl) -Deerclops -Dragonfly -Eye of Terror -Frostjaw ("Defeated" animation counts as killing him) -Great Depths Worm -Ink Blight Trio (Shriek, Rasp and Jitters; point is given when all 3 from the same group are killed) -Klaus -Lord of the Fruit Flies -Malbatross -Nightmare Werepig ("Defeated" animation counts as killing him) -Poison Birchnut Tree -Possessed Deerclops -Possessed Varg -Reanimated Skeleton (Forest and Cave versions count as the same boss for the purposes of this tournament; Forest Skeleton must be killed and not die to sunlight) -Scrappy Werepig ("Defeated" animation counts as killing him) -Shadow Pieces (Any combination counts as one boss; point is given when the shadow atrium is dropped) -Spider Queen -Toadstool (Regular version) -Treeguard (All variants count as the same boss) -Wrathful Rabbit King Additionally, the following enemies will be considered as "upgraded versions" of some of the previous enemies and will thus count as 2 bosses, while replacing an existing boss. For example, killing Ancient Fuelweaver will give you 2 points, but doing so will count as also having killed a Reanimated Skeleton. Therefore, killing any of the following bosses means you won't get any points for killing the bosses they replace. -Ancient Fuelweaver (Replaces Reanimated Skeleton; must give full set of drops) -Crab King (Pearled, replaces non-pearled) -Twins of Terror (Replaces Eye of Terror; the Shield of Terror must drop for it to count) -Misery Toadstool (Replaces regular Toadstool) Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/160468-520-dst-speedrun-community-tournament/#findComment-1755563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guille6785 Posted November 2, 2024 Author Share Posted November 2, 2024 I'd like to remind anyone who might be undecided about participating that all you have to do to be included in the raffle for the consolation prizes is submit a valid run, this means even if you submit a video of you taking 10 days to kill a treeguard that's all you need to participate for any of the three $20 consolation prizes, so you don't lose anything by giving the tournament a shot regardless of your skill level!
