ESA – THIS IS US

ESA events are festivals of speedrunning. The core of the festival is the video game marathon – a week long, 24-hour telethons streamed on Twitch.tv celebrating the art of speedrunning. During the stream viewers at home are invited to donate to a charitable cause and can interact with the event by naming characters, choosing cosmetic items and influencing game difficulty.
