Dr Disrespect pitches bold idea for new Elden Ring speedrunning tournament YouTube: Dr Disrespect \/ From SoftwareDr Disrespect pitched a bold idea for a new Elden Ring speedrunning tournament for streamers, and it could be exactly what the game needs to drive its player count back up again. Elden Ring burst onto the scene with critical acclaim and immense popularity back in February 2022. However, it\u2019s player-count has fallen since, which is to be expected given the fact it\u2019s a single-player game. The speedrunning community is still going strong though, and it gave Dr Disrespect an intriguing idea to create an Elden Ring speedrunning tournament for streamers like himself \u2014 which he thinks would be \u201csick.\u201d At first, the two-time was skeptical about it. \u201cAn Elden Ring tournament? I don\u2019t know. It\u2019s kind of hard to do an Elden Ring ring tournament, right?\u201d he said. \u201cUnless you had full customization. Like, being able to customize particular settings.\u201d However, after pondering about how competitive Elden Ring speedrunning has become, he changed his tune. \u201cYou\u2019ve seen these speedrunners,\u201d he said. \u201cI guess I could see an Elden Ring tournament working.\u201d The two-time brainstormed how it would work, explaining that players would need to race against each other to take down a specific set of bosses, dungeons, and challenges rather than finish the whole game in one sitting. \u201cYou won\u2019t know what it is,\u201d he added, stressing its importance. \u201cNo one will know what the route is until the day of the tournament and then boom. That would be kind of sick. It\u2019s about who can get the farthest.\u201d As for how the \u201cultimate winner\u201d would be determined, he wasn\u2019t sure himself. However, he said it would have to be a metric that cannot be cheesed, which rules out leveling since some people \u201cknow all the tricks.\u201d The relevant part of the video begins at 5:05:20. Doc admitted the idea isn\u2019t perfect. \u201cThe problem is I have a feeling you\u2019re going to get a lot of people who could finish on the same guy or something in the tournament,\u201d he said. However, it\u2019s something that can be ironed out. He also revealed he isn\u2019t too keen on including PvP combat. \u201cI\u2019m not really into the PvP stuff. I can\u2019t even watch people just PvP either. It\u2019s just it\u2019s kind of boring to a certain degree unless the characters are really leveled up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
