The AGDQ 2019 Schedule is Live, Here’s What to Watch

Every year in both the winter and summer, Games Done Quick puts on a seven-day speedrun marathon to raise money for charity. With January right around the corner, it’s time for Awesome Games Done Quick 2019, the flagship event in GDQ’s lineup. The AGDQ 2019 schedule has just been revealed, things are looking appropriately awesome. Once again, speedrunners from around the world will gather together to beat games as quickly as they can. All the while, viewers can donate towards the Prevent Cancer Foundation. AGDQ has slowly grown in popularity over the past few years, and now, each event usually draws in well over $1,000,000. At last year’s event, AGDQ 2018, the speedrunners raised over $2,200,000 towards the Prevent Cancer Foundation. That’s the high score to beat, and with the schedule just released, there’s plenty of reasons to tune-in and donate.
