SpeedRunners changes
Join #TeamFalcon or #TeamSpeedRunner next week in King of Speed 2 - the boostanoid-fueled official SpeedRunners tournament.
Fight cancer, with speed and running!
Next week we are introducing 2 DLC character packs into SpeedRunners. These packs contain 4 celebrity characters each. One pack is assigned to #TeamFalcon, the other - to #TeamSpeedRunner. If you play as The Falcon, or any of the characters on #TeamFalcon, wins count towards that team. Same for #TeamSpeedRunner. You don't need to buy the DLC to participate, but if you do - it will be for a good cause.
# Play as your favorite Youtuber or one of the team leads (SpeedRunner or Falcon) # Your wins add to your team's total score # Team with most wins by November 20th is the winner # We will donate money made from the winning DLC to cancer research
You can guess the team assignments yourself :)

Prepare for the ultimate showdown between The Falcon and SpeedRunner. 20/10/2014
FAQ
What is King of Speed?
King of Speed is an in-game tournament between the characters of SpeedRunners. The first one was held in December 2013 and featured an ARG, the culmination of which revealed Game Modifiers. In the first King of Speed, we counted wins of individual characters for a month, and in the end Cosmo was crowned as King Cosmo and wore a crown for a month in-game. This time The Falcon faces off with SpeedRunner in an ultimate showdown of Speed and Running. And they are backed up by teams of Youtubers to help!
Do I need to buy the DLC to participate?
No, you can support your team by playing as either The Falcon or SpeedRunner
But SpeedRunner has 4 versions of the skin, but Falcon has only 1?
We are adding 3 more skins to the Falcon just for this event. Spoilers? I probably shouldn't be revealing this.
Which charity are you donating money to?
This is something we're figuring out with the help of experienced parties like Humble Bundle. If you have suggestions - let us know.
What's the DLC price?
We are aiming for $2.99 per pack, so less than $1 per character
Why cancer research?
Personal statement from Alex Nichiporchik (CEO @tinyBuild): Screw cancer. It took the life of countless people in my family, and almost took mine. I believe with the popularity of SpeedRunners we can make a difference to advance its research.
What will the other falcons look like?
