Gotcha, here’s your rewritten article—brace yourself:

So, here’s the thing about esports. Normally, my brain screams “fast shooters, crazy MOBAs!” when someone mentions it. But, get this—you know the last place I thought I’d find excitement? In a solo puzzle game. Yeah, I know, weird. Anyway, I was totally wrong. During this big deal, the Summer Games Done Quick, I saw something wild. These speedrunners? They turned Blue Prince into this gripping show. Seriously, who would’ve thought?
It all went down later on a Monday night. You know how events like these usually raise cash for Doctors Without Borders? Yeah, they were doing that, too. But, flip the script—Blue Prince comes in, and you’d think it’s all about speed to Room 46. Wrong again. We got hit with a “B Quest Bingo” showdown. Bet you’re asking, what even? I know, right? It’s messy and perfect.
Picture this: both players get handed this bingo board, looks like the game’s floorplan. Simple enough? Ha! Each square had its own weird task—unlock a gate here, upgrade rooms there. Ninety short minutes to dart around, ticking off boxes. The winner? First to connect the entrance to the antechamber. Easy-peasy… or not.
Watching this was like, wow, a battle of brains. The crowd was losing it. And let’s not overlook Gelly, blabbing with horse-race-level excitement. Honestly, Blue Prince as a game? Tricky enough. Hundreds of quirks, sneaky tricks, and resource mayhem. Add randomness chaos into it. Now, imagine zipping through all that at warp speed. You’ve got to know the game deep down in your bones, ready for any curveball. It’s like two grandmasters having a lightning chess match during a tornado. No kidding.
If you’re curious, check out the run on Games Done Quick’s YouTube. Heads up—spoilers galore. I mean, I’ve spent 100 hours on Blue Prince and still found stuff I didn’t know (seriously, the entrance hall thing!?). At the very least, you’ll see just how endless this puzzle roguelike feels.
