Following up today after yesterday’s $10,000 Speedrun Challenge announcement with some more even exciting news - we are super excited to announce that Ubisoft has not only sponsored this challenge with a whopping $10,000 prize pool, but an incredible 200 game keys for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown Deluxe Edition!
We will be giving away 200 PC copies of the game to the first 200 runners who submit a verified speedrun for the Pit of Eternal Sands category in the PoP:TLC $10,000 Speedrun Challenge! Already have the Deluxe Edition? Feel free to give it away to a friend, or a fellow speedrunner!
We hope you’re all as excited about this as we are. Go follow the challenge, and be amongst the first 200 to snag your free copy by submitting a speedrun. Happy running everyone, stay tuned for more exciting updates! :)
should last minute offline submissions like KeremOR9's 30:07 be allowed? although the rules don't explicitly require a run to be livestreamed, it does seem very disingenuous to submit a top time gotten offline at the very last moment. Sure, technically it is within the rules and technically nothing wrong happened, but that seems like such a dirty play to hide a better time especially since this is over a case of $2,000.
Ideally the challenge would have enforced livestreaming attempts to avoid a situation like this, but obviously its not like you can turn back time and change that rule. But I am saying that this result feels highly disingenuous given the circumstances.
