Honestly this format isn't casual friendly. A veteran player who doesn't specifically practice for the event will be clearing the early parts of Act 3 when Tyty or Ben or Imexile are fighting Kitty in Act 5. A rookie player will be at their second bandit at this point.

This is a competition, and that's inherently going to be about finding the best. It's the POE equivalent of a sporting event like the Australian Open in tennis, where before the event starts you could name a dozen people - seeds 1-12 - who are collectively considered around a 90% chance to contain the eventual winner.

The recent krangled passives event was probably one of the most casual-friendly competitive events POE has run because it was so far from the base game experience that the enormous skill edge top players have was reduced in impact. And even there the top 5 runs were all very, very experienced players.

It's still something that can be fun to be a part of, but from a competitive standpoint I know I have no chance in this event.

Good News, anf thanks GGG for your efforto to bring more person to Exilcon, I hope NZ was close to the center of the world.. :D is 19 hr flight from me :p
So... How fast are going to be the winners ?
As I understand the aim is to detect the best races, is there any incentive for casual players to try ?

Anyway, might give it a shot !
