AGDQ and MCOC?

So I was wondering, have any of the big content creators for MCOC ever thought to do some sort of speed running at an Awesome Games Done Quick event?

If you're not familiar with AGDQ, it's an event that happens a few times a year where streamers will do speed runs live for charity on various different games, genres, and platforms.

Thought like MSD V Nagase doing a live head to head Necro run, or fastest to chapter 6 or something. Maybe Allisonedits does a blindfolded fight.

Thoughts? Ideas?

My main question would be, are people going to these events to see "speed" runs that take multiple hours? In most cases speed runs are doing in minutes what people normally take hours to do, like speed runs in Only Up. The things in MCoC that can be done quickly are already quick, and the things that can't be done quickly can only be done so much faster. It'd be cool depending on your perspective, but I ultimately don't know if that would be all that interesting.

Oh there is runs of various games. You have everything from 5 minute runs of like Mario to 9 hour runs of FF7. They will also do things like 2 teams of 4 doing hard Mario Maker levels, or blond folded Punch out runs.

They also will do Beat Saber challenges, or run through Plant vs Zombies. Honestly just about any game you have seen streamed, someone has likely ran it.

People will also vote with donations for the runners to maybe run with a handicap, or use certain avatars.

Like you could raise money to have one of the content creators do Necro with no revives, or like a crappy team.

Last year the winter AGDQ raised 2.5 million for cancer research. They just did Summer Games Done Quick and got 2.4 million for Doctors without borders. There is definetly an untapped community there.
