Hey everyone, meow here , The Scoreathlon was hosted today and Mazerak took home the win with a final score of 4,062,350! As this run was seeded, it won't count for any world records but the seed itself was insane and extremely well played! Great job Maz! There will be a more detailed Scoreathlon wrap up article coming out later so I won't go into much more details now but for now you can see the final scoreboard here. The event was a huge success! Thank you to the players, commentators, and behind-the-scenes workers for making this event as fun as possible! But most of all, a huge thank you to saturnin55 for putting in his heart and soul into this event. Sat is the reason this event even came into the realm of possiblity and everyone should thank Sat next time they see him! On to the runs! This past week we saw a ton of movement in score. We saw personal bests from Spef, bootsthatshoot, bigsalad, GreatStriker, and myself (meowmixmix). Wow! Spef got an insane score of $3,360,075! Spef got a 1-1 Plasma Cannon along with a 1-2 Jetpack which as the great Bananasaurus Rex once said is a "Once in a lifetime of Spelunky run". This run gave Spef the 7th highest score of all time. Spef also completed a 3:59.378 Low% No Gold. Incredible! bootsthatshoot's final score was a whopping $2,953,775. Just barely missing the sweet $3 million but I know he will be able to break it! This run put boots into the 700k Moss Points club! Keep it up boots! bigsalad's score was just under 2 million with a final score of $1,958,850. You can buy one big salad with that kind of dough! bigsalad also completed a Low% run in 7:22.765 and a Hell% run in 11:13.616. I think with a score like his, he can improve these times with enough effort! Awesome runs bigsalad! GreatStriker got a very similar score to bigsalad coming in at $1,944,875. Unfortunately, this run ended with a death on 5-3 but this means he is on track to push this well beyond $2 million! You can do it! Lastly for score, I (meowmixmix), got a final score of $2,825,800. Thanks to everyone who gave advice to me during my run! It was a big help Let's move into some speedruns now. SAIBOT was on fire this week gathering a total of 6 personal bests!
