Speedrunning an online game? (Overwatch minigames, online co-op, etc.)

I have questions about a new idea that I just had. I recorded and timed myself playing the Overwatch "Yeti Hunter" game mode and don't know what to do with it. Will have to create a game or series?

I also want to discuss how speedrunning an online game would work. It would be difficult, more difficult than fighting RNG.

"It would be difficult, more difficult than fighting RNG" In what way?

Well, you would be fighting against real people and not RNG and AI.

I don't play OW so I wasn't sure if it was a vs. AI thing or not. Not sure why would want to "speedrun" something like that, but there's the OW leaderboard, ask the forums for such categories. Good luck.

The thing with that sorta speedrun where instead of AI it's actual people is that someone could just get a bunch of friends together and get illegitimate times because of boosting, yeti hunter isn't a gamemode that's staying either so I doubt you'd be able to request that to be its own thing
