One month ago, MoistCr1tikal declared his first $10,000 challenge on YouTube, where players would purchase the Steam game Amok Runner and attempt to complete the game in the fastest time possible. The game was played by just one person at the time of the announcement, that being MoistCr1tikal himself, and two weeks later a winner was announced after they completed the Steam game faster than MoistCr1tikal’s time.

The challenge gained traction quickly as hundreds of players began to purchase the game and attempt to submit their best completion time possible for a chance to win a lump sum of money. This has led Charles “MoistCr1tikal” White to crack open his wallet once again, this time proposing a monthly speedrun challenge that will hold the same $10,000 pool, but this time with a plan set in place. It’s not uncommon for YouTube and Twitch personalities to hold tournaments and contests, but this monthly challenge may take the cake as one of the most exciting on the platform. The game of the month is Exodus From The Earth, a Steam game with only one active player, and the challenge is to take down his fastest completion time.
This time around, MoistCr1tikal’s tournament will have more intricate and detailed rules to avoid any problematic behavior from players looking to earn some of his hard-earned money. With third-party applications, cheating in gaming has quickly become a major problem. For this reason, MoistCr1tikal is making challengers stream their playthrough live at a 60 frames per second limit in order to be eligible for the cash prize. He explains that the even playing field and displaying their playthrough live will minimize the amount of cheaters as audiences will gather to watch and pinpoint any discrepancies in their gameplay.
While cheating is banned for obvious reasons, MoistCr1tikal states that in-game exploits are fair game due to the fact that they can be accessed at any time without the help of third-party applications. In certain instances, exploits in games have given players unbelievable advantages, but are extremely difficult to find during a speedrun. The monthly contest will also split the $10,000 prize among three participants, with first place taking home $6,000, second place winning $2,500, and third place earning $1,500. MoistCr1tikal also announced that the player to find the most ground-breaking exploit during their playthrough will win $1,000, voted by the community after the tournament. This challenge will last two weeks, and it’ll be interesting to see what future games White will unleash on his audience.
