Coming up we have a Sonic the Hedgehog Beat the Game (Glitched) race between pho and servalot!
pho might switch up the play for a bit if we get enough donations 👀

I've just published a blog post on my website about the behind-the-scenes, technical setup of WASD! If you're interested in what we used or how we ended up using 14 audio channels, you can find the post at https://t.co/MJ9G0Wx3u3

WASD 2023 raised 🎉£1345.36 🎉 for @SpecialEffect!!! That brings our lifetime donation amount for this @warwickuni student-run speedrunning event to over £9000!

A big thanks to all the runners, donators, tech team, and everyone who came to watch! It's been one hell of a time. 💙

@OWing004 omg it's you!!

[WASD - Speedrunning for Charity @WarwickSpeedrun]

It's no secret that WASD 2022 wasn't at the level of quality it should have been when the group of organisers changed hands, so we're extremely grateful to our tech team and commentators for making WASD 2023 run as smoothly as possible.

Bring on February 2024!

[WASD - Speedrunning for Charity @WarwickSpeedrun]

We'd also like to thank:

@uwcs for organising the whole thing

@esportscentre_w for providing amazing equipment, and the equally amazing @mageofjustic

@warwickesports for agreeing to let us ruin their Twitch & Instagram

@WarwickSU for agreeing to let us ruin their Atrium

💙

We're nearly ready for WASD Day 2! (10 mins 👀)

Yesterday we raised £890.92. Thanks to all the runners, donators and tech people that made this all possible. We've got some laps in an among us suit and hot sauce to eat tomorrow.

We're starting with Dokapon Kingdom shortly!
