YMMV / Games Done Quick

• Archive Panic: GDQ has been doing marathons semiannually since 2010 (most of them week-long and featuring over 100 games each) and has been doing speedrun related content daily since 2018. Good luck watching it all.
• Awesome Music: AGDQ 2012 featured a run of Castlevania that has the music being played on piano, creating some awesome remixes of the game's already awesome soundtrack.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
  • During the SGDQ 2016 Fallout 3 run, the runner TiffanySBB, announced that it was her fiancé's second year gender transition anniversary. While she had permission to announce it and the room erupted into applause, the reason everyone on the couch looked really uncomfortable is that not only did it come straight out of nowhere, but she announced it in the middle of the run instead of when the run was over.
  • The intermission before the AGDQ 2017 Mega Man Legends run showed a woman in pink bunny pajamas snuggling with a bearded man. No one in the event addressed this oddity, and viewers were left disturbed and confused.
• Broken Base:
  • There's some mud-slinging regarding whether or not any run that takes longer than 2 hours should be allowed, especially RPGs like the Final Fantasy series. Some insist that since it's Awesome Games Done Quick, they should be trying to get as many different games as possible done within the marathon, while many others prefer these games because they get to see a variety of strategies within a single run.
  • Another target for ire is the growing professionalism of the event at the expense of the runners letting loose. What started as basic charity get-togethers for some fun in small, cramped hotel rooms have evolved to massive setups with hundreds of people potentially in the audience with a rented-out atrium and professional sponsorships making millions in donations. While the effort and their proceeds have greatly increased over the years, attempts to be more family-friendly have reined in runners and their supporters on the couch, creating a massive debate between viewers about whether even having fun is allowed anymore (not that it's stopped some runners from having a hell of a time, but it's practically reached Memetic Mutation for people to believe someone's banned at the slightest provocation of having fun or a small Precision F-Strike).
    • A subset of this that's been dividing the base is allowing runners who have gotten in trouble off-camera but are still allowed to participate in the marathon because their actions weren't on stream or because they're considered popular runners,^note This is no longer true after Bubblesdelfuego's ban mentioned below, and rwhitegoose's ban for spouting white supremacist rhetoric on a discord server. such as the runner having slept with another guy's wife at the event, while other and also popular runners were banned because their family-unfriendly antics happened on camera. The argument that breaks the base is whether or not what someone does in their personal life should affect their standing for the marathon.
  • There was no TASbot segment for SGDQ 2017, due to the TASbot team deciding to step away from GDQ after a disastrous reception during AGDQ 2017, involving tech problems and poor attribution of the runs involved. Only a donation incentive actually got dwangoAC to attend AGDQ 2018, and he didn't even do a full block.
  • The infamously long setup times for Tetris: The Grand Master at SGDQ 2017; some viewers were understanding of the delays due to arcade hardware (there's no consumer versions of TGM games^note Tetris: The Grand Master ACE on Xbox 360 is so fundamentally different from the arcade games that it doesn't count) being somewhat more difficult and complicated to set up than game consoles; the setup complexity was compounded by the fact that the first TGM showcase was an 8-way race which required four game/screen sets. Others didn't care and were fed up with how long setup time took compared to runs, with viewership suffering as a result.
  • A $10,000 donation being announced on the stream and then being revealed it was sent by Notch of Minecraft fame (and also a regular donator) can produce some mixed reactions. Some viewers are upset that it's coming from someone with some controversial views that he has made public via social media, while others don't see the big deal, that money is money no matter who it comes from.
  • The GDQ Twitch channel's chat becoming sub-only as of AGDQ 2018 was met with praise by those who felt the chat could easily get out of control otherwise, but there are those who see it as a ploy just to get more money and ruin the fun of people who just want to watch and participate how they can.
• Complacent Gaming Syndrome: If a multiplatform game is played in the marathon, under most circumstances the PC/Windows version is picked for optimal performance and faster load times over console versions of the same game.
• Discredited Meme:
  • After ProtoMagicalGirl's run of Super Mario Land in SGDQ 2016, the audience chanting "Wah!" became a bit of a meme. Come the 2017 Super Metroid run, and the meme was killed when someone seated near the couch got so annoyed that he borrowed a mic from the couch and told the audience to stand in front of a shuttle bus.
  • Any jokes about Sam and Tolki's marriage ending with an affair at the 2014 event dried up when Tolki told her side of the story.
  • While Keizaron went along with the joke of "Being the guy who always went over estimate," for a few years, he has since gotten completely sick of it and repeatedly tells people on Twitter to stop "running that joke into the ground," especially after shattering expectations at AGDQ 2022.
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • Halfcoordinated. His one handed Vanquish run was a last minute addition to replace a controversial Minecraft entry, but ended up being one of the most popular runs of AGDQ 2015.
    • He returned for SGDQ 2016 to run Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight one-handed on Insane difficulty in glorious fashion.
    • He once again returned for SGDQ 2017 and this time he got to be the first run of the marathon, running NieR: Automata.
  • The TGM crew's runs of Tetris: The Grand Master, despite their block feeling more like skill exhibitions than actual speedruns, manage to be this just due to the sheer amount of skill they show.
  • TASbot. Even though some of the stuff they show doesn't really count as speedruns, what TASbot does to the games is entertaining enough that no one really minds. For example, during the AGDQ 2015 block, they turned Pokemon Red into a live feed of the Twitch chat.
  • The Super Mario Maker block of AGDQ 2016 had similar shades of the TGM crew as mentioned above, especially with the showcase of clearing 8 of the hardest SMM levels in the world in under a half hour.
    • Notably, 2017 saw the removal of all three of those types of run, due to a combination of technical issues with the first two and a lack of audience interest with all three, with the only returning one, TASbot, being a donation incentive rather than a full block. The Grand Master, meanwhile, would spend many years off the Games Done Quick floor until AGDQ 2022 Online.
  • The so-nicknamed "DS Dad" in AGDQ 2016, a pudgy man who used to sit in front of the camera and play on (what most people thought was) a DS, quickly became popular with the chat.^note He was actually playing a Pandora, as he showed to the camera. Also, he isn't a dad.
    • He made his return in SGDQ 2016, much to the joy of the Twitch chat.
    • He returned once more in AGDQ 2017, this time as an announcer who read off donations. To say the chat was overjoyed would be an understatement.
  • Bonesaw's Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy speedrun quickly became the most popular speedrun at SGDQ 2016, despite generally poor play. Due to both travel issues and his run starting at 2AM, both Bonesaw and the couch were extremely tired, leading to irreverent, hilarious commentary. As shown below, it was popular with fans, but not so much the sponsors. His subsequent ban the following year only served to make him even more popular due to many people finding it unjustified. And despite managing to softlock the game, he did complete it within the estimated time limit...
  • TGH's Undertale run, the final event of AGDQ 2017, was dreaded by most due to many being sick of its overexposure in the gaming community. When it actually happened, it was universally praised for TGH's skill and likability, the informative couch commentary, the antics of the crowd, the guest appearance of one of the developers of the game, an amazing battle with Sans, and the last-minute bidding war on whether Sans should be finished off or allowed to sleep, and being preceded by the first ever break of 2 million donated. It helps that it ended the show on a high note, whereas the traditional Super Metroid race was almost turned into a complete disappointment due to the lack of hype and runner CFB telling the "unfunny" crowd to kill themselves by standing in front of a moving shuttle.
  • bubblesdelfuego was pretty popular as well, thanks to his snarky, humorous commentary, running multiple recent games at every event, as well as staying in good spirits despite technical difficulties. However, he was banned from the event in 2018.^note Being a cancer survivor who suffers from chronic pain, Bubbles takes prescribed medicinal marijuana. At the 2018 Awesome Games event, he shared an edible with a friend who then suffered an anxiety attack. Bubbles completely understands the ban and doesn't oppose it.
  • The Omnigamer is popular for showing up in the early mornings and giving entertaining solo commentaries about various obscure games.
  • Patty is one of the people that draws in the most views due to his sense of humor and complete irreverence, while still adhering to the rules of GDQ. His runs or runs where he couches (including Bonesaw's run above) tend to be some of the most repeatedly viewed runs on YouTube because his personality and chemistry with his friends and fellow commentators makes it hilarious, and allows him to serve as a counter to the "Stop Having Fun" Guys Broken Base.
  • Sent's not even a runner, but the hilarious skits and number of Stealth Hi/Bye he pulled off on the intermissions to hawk the GDQ swag with enthusiasm got a lot of laughs out of folk during otherwise boring downtimes. His chemistry with the already popular Spikevegeta definitely helped him in this regard, as they bounced off of each other well.
  • HeyZeusHeresToast's run of Bloodborne was the most unexpected hit of AGDQ 2018, mainly due to his stellar commentary and funny reactions to bad RNG.
  • In terms of the Awful Games block, Kotti's run of the obscure Arabian Nights in 2018 became a surprise hit due to the game's non-stop plethora of baffling hilariousness, frequently sending the couch and audience into hysterics. This run was popular enough to return for SGDQ 2021 Online.
  • havrd's run of GeoGuessr would go on to become one of SGDQ 2021 Online's surprise hits due to the high level of geographical knowledge required to play the game setting it apart from other speed games in the marathon. To the joy of many, GeoGuessr returned the following marathon for a two-person co-op run with Janmumrik teaming up with havrd.
  • The debut of Arkanoid at AGDQ 2024 thanks to runner chessjerk was considered a highlight of the marathon's Tuesday morning NES block, as it was the first time a Breaking Out game would appear in a GDQ.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Sean Chiplock was the donation host for SGDQ 2019's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure-themed Pokemon Crystal run...months before he was announced as the English voice of Guido Mista.
• It's Popular, Now It Sucks!: When GDQ became more popular in later years, it resulted in a crackdown on many things that would've been fair game at the first few events, such as Take That!-based humor, crass jokes, profanity and other risque things. The large amount of restrictions compared to the earlier days have led some to quit watching an event they might've enjoyed at the start of its lifetime.
• Memetic Badass: The TGM crew has been described as gods of Tetris amongst many viewers. As Fighting Game Community commentator James Chen puts it:
  Gozer the Gozerian: Are you a God?
  Kan: Give me 5 minutes. [Plays Tetris Grand Master 3 and gets Grand Master Rating]
  Gozer: You may pass.
• Memetic Mutation:
  • The donations themselves are often memed, mostly due to how similar most of them are. Most of the read donations sound like they're following a script, including all the same lines with the exceptions of either the donator's family experiences with cancer or a quote from the game that's being played, of which only one is said.
  • TriHex%, or Taco-Bell%, in reference to runner TriHex's legendary 2014 Yoshi's Island run.
  • Based YSG.^note A reference to runner Blueglass. Known for his distinctive laugh, bright yellow shirt in his first appearances (YSG standing for Yellow Shirt Guy), and his presence through almost every run. Due to his sincerity, infectious giggle and his refusal to miss a run even if he's the only other person in the room, he quickly became an Ensemble Dark Horse.
  • The Twitch chat has never been so active in 2016. Some notable memetic quirks from the chat include:
    • "VAC" ^note  Referring to Valve Anti-Cheat, using file modifications in servers with VAC bans your Steam client from every other VAC server when a runner skips a large segment of the game with an exploit
    • "RESET" when the runner makes a mistake and "SAVED" if they bring it back
    • Spamming BibleThump (crying Isaac) whenever a donation mentions losing a loved one or having a loved on affected by cancer. This also happens when the baby Metroid dies in Super Metroid.
  • BANNED ^note Whenever a runner or the commentator(s) seems to be having too much fun, makes crass jokes, or has a sudden Precision F-Strike, you can expect the chatfeeds and imageboard threads viewing the event to be filled to the brim with this since many consider GDQ to have become Serious Business over the years and, in some cases, that the runners may seriously get banned from the event for the smallest infraction.
  • "Kill"/"Save the animals"^Explanation Referring to the Etecoons and Dachoras in Super Metroid. Every run, their fate is determined by whichever camp gets the most in donations. Other runs may have variations, such as "Kill"/"Save the Humans" or "Kill"/"Save [character name]"
    • "Taunt the animals"^Explanation Going into the room with the Etecoons and Dachoras, then leave without shooting out the walls to save them.
  • "Helpful as always."^Explanation DQ's Twitch chatroom can be hazardous to one's health.
  • "That has never happened before."^Explanation A saying used when the runner encounters a rare glitch, fails an exploit, or makes a rookie mistake and is promptly dumbfounded.
  • "We could do 'X'... but that's slow."^ExplanationThis, or some permutation of it, usually precedes a point in the game where the runner is about to do something game-breaking, morally questionable, or both for the sake of speed.
  • The 2014 Tomba! 2 run spawned the "I would really prefer if you'd be quiet" clip, which is used as a reaction for the lesser moments of the series.
  • "Pausa!" ^Explanation A meme from Linkus7's Wind Waker HD run from a combination of playing the Italian version and starting the run off with a trick that requires at least 200 pause buffers.
    • When he ran the 100% category at AGDQ 2019, "Spliiiiish" and "Kaboom" from the battleship-style minigame joined the Wind Waker HD memes.
  • "ORB!" ^ExplanationA popular crowd and chat chant ignited by the three-way Super Mario Bros. 3Mix race and halfcoordinated's run of Semblance at AGDQ 2019, cheered whenever any spherical object appears on screen, was interacted with, or even if the word just got mentioned.
  • Laughing like the Count during countdowns to major donation goals courtesy of an offhand comment by Patty during the Link to the Past/Super Metroid Randomizer run at SGDQ 2019.
  • "Big juicy cancels" ^Explanation A line from the Mushihime-sama Futari run at AGDQ 2020, which Twitch chat quickly started using during other runs whenever there were significant instances of bullet-erasing on screen.
  • When something goes wrong, or when a player takes a safety save, attributing it to RNG manipulation.
  • "Honk!" ^Explanation Whenever there's a bird or other avian creature that resembles the goose of Untitled Goose Game, regardless of whether it's actually a goose.
  • "He's a tool, not a jewel." ^ExplanationWhen doing various runs of Super Mario World, which may include rom hacks, the crowd's despair that Yoshi ditched almost as soon as he's discovered, all for just a little extra momentum, are quickly shot down from runners.
  • Haiku donations ^Explanation Donation comments in SGDQ 2020 gained a Running Gag in the form of being a cavalcade of haiku and donators using their donations to contribute with haiku pertaining to the run or the marathon itself. Other poetry also made appearances at times, including a few limericks.
  • People getting sick after attending GDQ happens so often that it has a name: the GDFlu.
  • Pringles the Video Game has become one at the live events, especially among the speedrunners. Lampshaded by Sent during SGDQ 2020, when it finally made it on the roster as the opening game of the Silly Games Done Quick block.
  • An actual mutation occurs during the AGDQ '21 run of Halo 3. On Day 4, host Brutal_Melo mentions that the stream has the potential to set a speed record for raising $1 million. Couch member Bryonato immediately proclaims a "$1 million Any% GDQ speedrun, let's do it!" "We're speedrunners, come on," Brutal_Melo agrees. The World Record speedrun is achieved about 3 minutes later.
  • Shoutout to the marble with the screaming man inside ^Explanation After the run of Kororinpa in SGDQ 2021, host LLK read out a donation with this comment and encouraged viewers to include the phrase in their donations because of its sheer absurdity. (It's an actual option that exists in the game!) Naturally, they obliged, and this became a meme that would be referenced through the last day of the marathon.
  • "That's so PogBones" ^Explanation A variant of a recurring line said by Hank9399 in deltadoid's Ratchet & Clank run at AGDQ 2022, which turned into a recurring meme in chat after the run ended.
  • "Dearest Bulbasaur, I humbly apologize for the misguided and completely baseless claims that you are "bad." After minutes of reflection I've come to realize that you are an amazing Pokemon and I'm truly sorry for my attitude for the last 7 years. I appreciate all the times that you've been there for me even though I wasn't there for you. Thank you Bulbasaur - Shen" ^Explanation Shenanigan's apology from AGDQ 2022. He disparaged the starter Pokemon during the Key Item Randomizer for Pokémon Crystal, and challenged the chat to get to 900K by the end of the run if they wanted an apology from him. Chat complied with flying colors.
    • Shenasaur^Explanation Fanart of a Bulbasaur with the head of Shenanigan slapped on, which would gain enough popularity to become a Twitch emote several runs later and even appear in the end credits.
  • Airboat^Explanation The second bonus run of AGDQ 2023 was Portal with the use of an allowed console command to spawn airboats instead of going through or making any portals; both Portal and Half-Life 2 use the Source Engine. The run would leave an impression on the Twitch chat for the rest of the marathon, causing all boats (or anything used as or vaguely resembling a boat) to be labeled as an airboat, and "airboat" becoming a recurring incentive for character names in the days to follow.
  • That's beans ^ExplanationDuring AGDQ 2023's Awful Block, Salamander County Public Television was featured. In one minigame, "That's beans", the player must pick the word "beans" and avoid picking the other. Each pair of words has a short time limit, and the phrase is spoken every time "beans" is picked.
  • I ATE IT ^ExplanationAnother chat meme sprouted by the Awful Block, this time the phrase shouted by the protagonist of I'm Going to Die if I Don't Eat Sushi! every time he beats a level.
  • YES CHEF ^ExplanationDuring the Overcooked! 2 run at SGDQ 2023 by Rubiehart, Peace Egg, and Sunbrojade, they communicated like chefs, speaking with borderline Motor Mouth and adding "Chef." to the end of every phrase. adef's run of Ratatouille continued the bit, with he and his couch of commentators speaking the same way and thus cementing the bit as the main running gag of the marathon amongst staff, runners, donation comments, and especially the Twitch chat. The meme would later go on to affect the Pizza Tower run on the night of Day 5, further cementing its status as the meme of SGDQ 2023.
  • Hooray! ^ExplanationAt the midway point of AGDQ 2024, a speedrun of Bluey: the Videogame would take "Hooray!" and escalate it into the signature meme for the second half of the marathon. The meme would run rampant through the Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Bros. Wonder runs in particular, accompanying the collection of each Shine and the completion of each level respectively.
• Most Wonderful Sound: "And... Time!" to signify a run's completion in pretty much any capacity and sending the audience into thundering claps.
• Nausea Fuel: Mentioned a lot during PJ's otherwise positively-received run of Mohawk and Headphone Jack, where the game's absurd amounts of Mode 7 and rotation effects make for a dizzying and motion sickness-inducing experience, so much that the game was apparently rejected from 14 consecutive GDQ marathons until they got permission for AGDQ 2019's Awful Games block. To boot, the couch suggested the audience donate $50 if they actually do vomit, and following the run, they had apparently received over $2000 from this prompt alone.
• Never Live It Down:
  • The infamous Tomba! 2 speedrun at SGDQ 2014 for both Chibi and CavemanDCJ, in which Chibi cracked jokes and made unnecessary comments throughout CavemanDCJ's speedrun until the latter told him to be quiet. They were made into an unwitting Straight Man and Wise Guy duo that even Caveman's ashamed to be a part of, which he describes in this video.
    "Did I get mad pussy after my Tomba 2 run? The short answer is no, the long answer is thank fucking God no!"
  • gamepro011's infamous Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back Any% Game Over Abuse run for SGDQ 2015, which can basically be described as a 45-minute long suicide joke with a few death threats against other runners and domestic abuse jokes to seal the deal. It's often speculated to be Patient Zero of the event's cracking down on risqué content in recent years for how tasteless and unfunny it is, and currently only exists to be viewed as a worst-of compilation on a second party's channel, whereas other infamous runs have full recordings on the official channel.
  • For a lighter example, Keizaron will always be associated with Animorphs runs that are disastrous through no fault of his own. In recent years this has evolved to Keizaron going over estimates in general.
  • Following the saccharine Kirby: Planet Robobot run from SGDQ 2017, Edobean has been consistently associated with Kirby. During AGDQ 2020, the tech crew even switched the break music to Kirby songs when donation-reading was handed off to Edobean for the first time. She noticed and asked if it was intentional.
  • During prize showcases, the antique lamp owned by Sent's mother quickly accelerated into a meme in the shift to online marathons from SGDQ 2020 to AGDQ 2022. Since then, the prize showcases (including those where Sent isn't physically present) and Sent himself have been associated with the lamp.
• Overshadowed by Controversy:
  • The AGDQ 2017 Super Metroid race was quite good; all runners involved showed excellent skill, with Zoast and Behemoth87 finishing roughly 8 seconds apart from each other. Unfortunately, it's mostly remembered for the crowd being somewhat obnoxious, a lack of hype near the end due to the crowd and announcers being forced to stay quiet, and the infamous part about the shuttle.
  • SDDQ 2022's Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance run by Mekarazium was a solid run with good commentary; on its own it would have been just another run in GDQ's history. What the section and the runner will actually be remembered for is the bonus run of the Blade Wolf DLC where the runner took advantage of the remote nature of his run to play a prerecorded, segmented video that beat the at-the-time WR.
• Revival by Commercialization: The Tetris: The Grand Master demonstrations on AGDQ and SGDQ 2015 helped bring TGM, which experienced brief spikes in popularity due to viral superplay videos, back into the Western spotlight. In fact, it's because of GDQ and the Western TGM community's involvement that Tetris: The Grand Master 4 was Un-Cancelled and location-tested not only in Japan again, but also in the United States.
• Shocking Moments:
  • "Man, people are speedrunning Tetris? This is gonna be boring!" (a few TGM demonstrations later) "...what the hell did I just watch?!"
  • People watching tool-assisted speedruns or TASbot segments for the first time tend to have similar reactions.
  • The incentive bidding for AGDQ 2018's Super Mario 3D World run, over who would run the final level was already close, with Mario and Luigi in a bitter struggle, which included a bonus challenge to do the final level in the game as Mario, only for a single bidder to completely tip the scales with a $4,000 donation just before they began the level, changing the winner to Toad. ^note It's unlikely to happen again due to the fact it was synonymous with someone fixing the vote, with later votes during that marathon ending well in advance of the related run.
  • gusto's Mushihime-sama Futari Ultra Mode run, while not a speedrun, earned dozens of applauses and gasps from the crowd. Keep in mind, this is the game known for Queen Larsa a.k.a. "THE HARDEST VIDEO GAME BOSS EVER!" and the player demonstrated a no-continue clear including said boss fight, albeit with 5 starting lives instead of 3 (it is a live run after all), in front of a physical crowd of hundreds and an online crowd of about 100,000. And last but not least, this was done on the 1.01 revision rather than the more common 1.5 version or the Black Label edition, a version of the game not known for being fair to the player.
  • oatsngoats completing a speedrun of the Super Metroid hack Super Metroid Impossible, which, as its name indicates, was intended to be impossible for human players to complete, with a grand total of five deaths (all to Ridley) and one reset (to Mother Brain).
• So Bad, It's Good:
  • The "Awful Games Done Quick" block during winter marathons uses this as its selling point—watching people speedrun through notoriously buggy, non-sensical, badly-designed, and/or terrible video games (whenever they be intentionally designed that way or not). Some games featured among the "Silly Games Done Quick" block (replacing the Awful block in the summer marathons) similarly apply.
  • Part of the appeal of Bonesaw's infamous 2016 Jak run was how much the streamer's curse was hitting him. Though he came in under estimate, he was nowhere near his best run due to being sleep deprived. (For comparison, he did a much better run on the Any% route at AGDQ 2014.)
  • At AGDQ 2020, TVGBadger's run of Terraria would have been a merely great run had it gone off without a hitch, due to the runner's upbeat, positive, energetic commentary. The fact that everything possible went wrong (from abysmal RNG to bosses not spawning) without the runner losing any of that good cheer made it a legendary run.
• Tear Jerker:
  • Sometimes, even in the most unexpected places: partway through the otherwise hilarious Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden run, there's an incredibly sincere moment as the runner explains his reasoning for wanting to be part of the marathon. Listening to the runner struggle through tears as he tells of how he came close to losing his dad is heartwrenching, and the reaction of the room around him is a Heartwarming Moment.
  • In an odd way, the 2016 Jak run has a bit of this in it. While it was hilarious with how off the rails things got, if you pay attention, you can see it only got that way because the runner was tired and worried about putting on a bad show. In fact, his soft ban ^note He can still attend and commentate, but cannot play himself for a year was probably better than what he was expecting while playing.
  • Near the end of Day 2 of SGDQ 2022, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City speedrunner KZ_Frew announced at the end of his run of the Definitive Edition that he would be retiring from the speedrunning scene after several years of running the original at various Games Done Quick events, believing he had taken the game as far as he could and wanted to put his speedrunning career behind him and inspire a wave of new Grand Theft Auto speedrunners to take the helm. The crowd and Twitch chat exploded in support of his decision, wishing him well in what the future may hold for him.
