Those into speedrunning will know Games Done Quick very well. Events like SGDQ 2023<\/a> help to raise staggering amounts for good causes, and now it’s the turn of Flame Fatales, which is kicking off this weekend.<\/p>

The all-woman speedrunning event runs from August 13 (that’s this Sunday) right up until August 20. You can check the Games Done Quick website<\/a> for more details about it. Flame Fatales will run in aid of Malala Fund<\/a>, a charity co-founded by Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai that fights for “every girl\u2019s right to 12 years of free, safe, quality education.”<\/p>

You can also check out the schedule<\/a> that’s now live, showing who’s playing what and when. Essentially, it’s going to be a week that’s jam-packed with some of the best women speedrunners around, helping to raise money for charity.<\/p>

Millions raised<\/h2>

Over the years, the Games Done Quick brand has helped raise a ton of money that has gone to a number of worthy causes. Earlier this year, AGDQ raised $2.6 million<\/a> for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. That’s not chump change!<\/p>

Flames Fatales is just one more opportunity for streamers and runners to come together to provide video game entertainment, while also doing good in the world. The act of speedrunning (where you aim to finish a game as quickly as possible in any non-cheat fashion) has become immensely popular. People dedicate hundreds (if not thousands) of hours to perfecting their techniques in order to shave off milliseconds.<\/p>

It’s something that just about anyone can get into, but it takes an enormous amount of effort and time to truly be counted among the best.\u00a0Let’s hope Games Done Quick’s Flame Fatale event is just as successful as the others that have come before it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":868,"featured_media":396063,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[965,19794,351,19977,19727],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":868,"display_name":"Andrew
