Speedrunner claims he was kicked out of hotel at GDQ after being assaulted Facebook \/ Games Done QuickSpeedrunning competitor Dr. Fatbody has claimed that he was forcibly removed from the hotel hosting the 2019 Summer Games Done Quick event, after he was the victim of a random violent assault. Dr. Fatbody, real name Kevin, was in attendance at the SGDQ 2019 event in Bloomington, Minnesota, when he claims the random assailant \u201csucker punched\u201d him eight times at the bar. Hotel staff at the DoubleTree by Hilton had him removed, according to series of tweets posted by Dr. Fatbody on June 26, despite the event staff at GDQ apparently being on his \u201cside\u201d. Making matters worse, Dr. Fatbody claims that the attacker was provided a shuttle to the airport rather than being arrested, while he, despite apparently being the victim of the assault, was simply kicked out. Additionally, he alleges that the attacker was selling drugs on the premises, and shared a photo of two men, one of which he says was the perpetrator, although doesn\u2019t make clear which of the two mean he is referring to. Just got punched in my face 8 times at @GamesDoneQuick ask me anything \u2014 Dr.Fatbody@MYMUHFUCKINHOUSE (@DrFatbody) June 26, 2019 Guy just came up to me at the bar from my side and proceeded to sucker punch me 8 times. He also was stalking where we chilled until he built up the confidence \u2014 Dr.Fatbody@MYMUHFUCKINHOUSE (@DrFatbody) June 26, 2019 This is the guy who attacked me. Hes also selling drugs on the property pic.twitter.com\/15MXjnm4d8 \u2014 Dr.Fatbody@MYMUHFUCKINHOUSE (@DrFatbody) June 26, 2019 Having reached out to both DoubleTree and Hilton Hotels on social media, Dr. Fatbody says that he was told because it is a \u2018franchised\u2019 establishment, the head office is unable to intervene in the matter. So yeah, called corporate, its a franchised location so im basically fucked. Well, 2 days of gdq was fun while it lasted :\/ \u2014 Dr.Fatbody@MYMUHFUCKINHOUSE (@DrFatbody) June 27, 2019 Games Done Quick is a bi-annual charity event, where of a variety of games are completed in \u2018speedruns\u2019. The livestream of the event is massively popular on Twitch, and the organizers have raised over $17 million for good causes since its inception in 2010. The event has not been void of controversy in the past though, with another speedrunner banned from the \u2018Awesome Games Done Quick\u2019 event in January, after allegations of sexual harassment. On this occasion, it appears it is the hotel staff, rather than representatives from the GDQ team, that are responsible for what Dr. Fatbody claims to have happened. He has confirmed on Twitter that he enjoyed the event regardless, and he will be back next time too. Dexerto has reached out to both parties for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
