Seems like a bizarre choise for last game of the event too when it's usually been some classic game beloved or at least appreciated by just about everyone. Yeah I dont get the undertale hype either. my 9 year old loves it, but it seems dumb to me. to each their own. | ||

Allegedly because of shittalking GDQ a lot in the past, and he made some bad twitter posts last year (quoted a mass murderer when saying not to go to AGDQ), but GDQ never gave an official reason. They first accused him of wearing one of the hats, which wasn't true, but then was kicked out anyway for what seems to be a cover of hard-to-check reasons. If the GDQ staff wants you out, you'll probably be out in no time. (Because of association, Cyberdemon531 was also banned) 2) wahluigi One of the couch sitters during the 4-way Metroid Prime race told a whole crowd of WAAAH-memers to go kill themselves, after the runners had asked them multiple times to stop being so annoying. Also in this case, the person who got banned, had critized GDQ many times before... but I doubt that a clean slate would've made any difference when someone tells a whole crowd to kill themselves in front of 250k viewers. Cyberdemon wasn't banned for associating himself with PvtCb though right? He was like PvtCb on "zero tolerance" warning already and then actually wore the hat. | ||

Pretty sure he also said they were a cancer (using the word), which is the worst form of irony here.

The event still is tons of fun, both to go to and to watch, and speedrunning comes first 350+ days out of the year. It's definitely not boring, and there's no harm in raising millions of dollars for charity while spreading awareness of the awesome gamer/ speedrunner scene  Sometimes, drama is unavoidable... don't let the occasional jerk on stream ruin it for you! Millions of people watched and enjoyed the marathon, and GDQs are bigger than ever! That's great news for the scene, as well as for the charities. | ||

Been watching since pretty much the beginning and back then it was really more fun. No politics, drama etc. The runners were known members of the speedrunning community which slowly started growing in the west. These days, it's completely different, especially when you hear about shady dealings with "Prevent Cancer Foundation". | ||

Meh. But hopefully we will get it next time, just to prevent situations like in the SM race | ||
