Summer Games Done Quick 2023: Watch Day 7 here
Just one day left! Watch along with us, won't you?
Another exciting week of speedrunning is about to end. It is the final day of Summer Games Done Quick 2023. After a brief January return to the online space, this year's event is back to live speedrunning and the mission remains the same. The top runners in the world will look to run through some of the most recognizable games of the past and present for a worldwide audience on Twitch and do it for charity.
Summer Games Done Quick 2023 has come to Minneapolis, Minnesota. Many of this year's runners are on hand for live runs, though a few are checking in virtually from their home spaces. This year's event is raising money for Doctors Without Borders. With one day left to go, the runners have raised over $1.1 million. Shacknews has been watching all week and we're here one last time to bring you the daily schedule and highlight the noteworthy runs worth watching.
Before we get to the schedule, let's look at a highlight from Day 6. Say the line, Erik!

It's our absolute favorite event whenever it comes to Games Done Quick. The Super Mario Maker relay is here! This time, the teams are made up of TheRileyC, Aurateur, PangaeaPanga, TanukiDan, Shoujo, Caspur189, LilKirbs, and Thabeast721. We're going to be watching this with everyone else and if you want to play these levels for yourself, Shacknews will report in with the level codes you'll need.

Before there was Tears of the Kingdom, there was Breath of the Wild. We're quite familiar with Bubzia and his blindfolded exploits. He attempts his greatest feat to date, as he'll look to complete The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild completely blindfolded.
Summer Games Done Quick 2023 wraps up tonight. We'll be back after the event is over to report the final total. For more, check out the Games Done Quick website.

Comparison stats:
https://gdq.alligatr.co.uk/comparison/
So far, this SGDQ is behind every GDQ since SGDQ 2018, except for SGQD 2020 (the first covid GDQ).
I'm guessing that this is because of it being a month early this year, and probably not everyone who normally watches got the message.
Still, they should on track for raising more than a million today, and seeing that they are behind schedule, they have more time remaining than most GDQs would have at this point, but that may also somewhat heart them as some of the biggest runs would be happening very late for east coast times, and even for west coast times. -
