Thanks to the support of the community, we are able to up the prize pool of the Speedrunning Tournament to a total of $200

The Speedrunning Tournament, centered around the Original Unnerfed Toadstool, will consist of two categories. Both categories will be strictly Solo, done in a Default World aside from starting season, as well as Unseeded. This Speedrun will be ran on a version of the game from 2016, and requires downpatching the game.

Category 1: Fastest boss kill. The only goal is speed. Kill the Original Unnerfed Toadstool as quickly as you can, while still abiding by the speedrun.com rules. 1st Place: $100 USD paid through Pay-Pal or digital Steam gift cards. 2nd Place: $50 USD paid through Pay-Pal or digital Steam gift cards. 3rd Place: $25 USD paid through Pay-Pal or digital Steam gift cards.

Category 2: Most creative boss kill, done in a speedrun. The goal is to have the most unique kill of the boss, using unconventional methods or new strategies that haven't been seen for. The goal here is for the player to create their own strategy, and still kill the boss in a timely manner. Run must abide by speedrun.com rules. Prize: $25 USD worth of DST skins.

Runs will be submitted in Bonus Categories --> Original Toadstool - Unseeded - Solo

The winner of the secondary Category will be chosen from these submitted runs, as they are to be submitted in the same place.
