After three exciting qualifying races, and an absolutely incredible championship race, Coolkid, a super rad speedrunner hailing from Jonkoping, Sweden, has won Azure Blur and taken the Grand Prize! Coolkid will be enjoying a free trip to Tokyo, Japan, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome such an incredible speedrunner to the Land of the Rising Sun! Coolkid will get the chance to visit Inti Creates HQ, meet the legend himself Mr. Keiji Inafune, and more! 😀
The competition was tight, with the racers who came in 2nd-5th place all finishing within 1 minute and 49 seconds of each other! To reward the valiant efforts of these speedrunners, we will be sending them Gunvolt t-shirts, courtesy of our friends at Level Up Studios!
