Working together, a group of 12 speedrunners from all around the world are going to beat all three games in under 15 hours, not once but FOUR times! Pick a team to root for and watch these games crumble with their insane tricks and strategies!

SRL hosts *GDQ. This is a major event in terms of FF speedrunning and not just some YouTube team doing a let's play.

You can't add context after the fact to make it seem right. In terms of FF speedrunning, sure, it's major. In general, no, and that is what the thread said. (Technically SDA hosts GDQ, SRL is the livestream part of SDA)

Yes you can. It happens all the time in advertizing. It's still a major speedrunning event despite what frame of reference it's in.

Ah yes. I got confused on what those acronyms meant. Thanks for the correction.
