I can't help but ask, but with the recent announcement that this game is going to be "sunsetted" will this leaderboard at least remain up? Obviously, no new runs (besides pre recorded footage) will be able to be uploaded, but will this speedrun page at least be kept separate from TCG Live when that releases?

So I have not talked to Ou7c4st about it, and I honestly do not know how things like this are usually handled, but I assume this will stay up as a sort of archive separate from whatever is created for live. As a side note, I know they said that PTCGO will no longer receive new cards, but I also do not think they are shutting the servers down yet. So as far as I am aware, we will accept new runs as long as the game is functional.

I have been a player of PTCGO for a very long time and a moderator of this game since 2017. No matter how everything plays out, I'm proud to have been even a small part of these boards. Even if this is kind of a meme run full to the brim with rng, seeing the boards go from one or two runs to a little over thirty on the gold category alone as well as the addition of the individual level category has been awesome.

When PTCGO officially goes, it will suck... big time, but it was definitely fun while it lasted.

Absolutely. This game has meant a lot to me in recent years. They have not yet announced when this "sunset" will occur, but I have little doubt that it would also entail at absolute minimum the online servers being shut down, and more than likely the game as a whole. It's unfortunate, but there's little logic in keeping TCGO alive in any capacity if the objective of Live is to get them more money (as evidenced by the presence of a battle pass.) Until then though, I will enjoy every last second I will have with TCGO.
