[MrMNWorm]

Hello Forums,

Season 2 of Don Giani's Speed Running Tournaments begins this Sunday @ 2pm UTC. We have 4 players who are so good and so DST-underground... you never even heard of'em. DG SRT proudly presents: Cowsrgud4u - CupStack - SmurfandTurf - Starlo (my $$'s on SmurfnTurf) and when you got 4 no-names with exceptional talent going head-to-head... LIVE... there are bound to be some fireworks/unforgettable moments that will occur.

We hope you will join us in making some memories and a little tomfoolery.

Have a wonderful week, we'll see ya Sunday!

Quick update, Season 2 has officially begun, stream is live!

Since I am not 100% sure what the rules are on posting links... Twitch --> DST --> Don Giani 

Hope you'll join us!

I liked watching. Stream was def. entertaining.

Could you please elaborate on the rules? 
I heard that Wolfgang was banned and bosses have different point counts, etc. Would be nice to have a reference or something, also which mods are and aren't allowed.

@Prinha this Google doc has all the answers you're looking for, sorry for the delay.

This is the exact link we provide during the live tournaments... so it's 100% safe. The rules and points get adjusted every so often, depending on the Wildcard or other factors, but the Goal is always the same. 4 players, live, trying to kill as many bosses as they can before the start of Day 15. You can die and resurrect as many times as you wanna... but no rollbacks.

Hope you got to see the S2E1 Winner, Cowrsgud4u, run his Wanda vs Bee Queen with no armor... hitless performance... and a little y-axis dark magic... I couldn't look away from it... apparently Goatsrgud4u2.

Anywho, here ya go!

@MrMNWormThanks, that's what I was looking for. And yes, I saw the BQ fight. Promptly wanted to play Wanda afterwards.

[CrimsonStrider]

Is it something that can be rewatched? 

[MrMNWorm]

@CrimsonStrider you can rewatch all of the crazy action from S2Ep1's tournament.

Twitch --> DonGianiGuides --> Videos (from there look for TOURNAMENT TIME video)

or... and I hope this is okay... it's been uploaded to YouTube.
 

Every tournament has some wonderful moments, but the thing I like most is the snowballing crescendo of action and chaos. Starts slow... then builds... until finally it's just nonstop madness by the end. BQ vs Wanda starting at 1hr and 38mins is super cool... but the dopest moment... CupStack catching the Lunar Altar... on a GRASS BOAT... after delivering the final death blow to the Crab King by ramming him. Like whaaaaaaat...?!? Gotta see it to believe it and it starts shortly after the BQ setup starts.

Please enjoy at your leisure Crimson and Season 2 Episode 2 is currently scheduled for Saturday, Jan 10th @ 1pm UTC (times MAY change, will letcha know if they do).

Small update, just want to properly document the winners and share some photos of the Player Shrines inside the Entrance Arena where we have mildly immortalized the participants for Ep1S2. Little tradition we're starting for Season 2, more details are being added but here's where we are at thus far.

Cowsrgud4u = 1st place
- Highlights include an Armored Bearger kill, first time someone did it live in the tourney. Also killed BQ, hitless, no armor, plus a little y-axis dark shadow magic. 
CupStack = 2nd place
- Highlights include catching the Celestial Tribute on his GRASS boat after killing the Crab King WITH his grass boat... it was pretty sweet. Also killed CC for the first time in tourney history.
Starlo = 3rd
SmurfandTurf = 4th

You can catch all of Starlo and Smurf's highlights in the tournament VOD in the Youtube link above.

Thanks to everyone who came out and watched! Happy Winter's Feast!
