A bunch of players are competing to be the first to finish a brutally difficult tower in Trackmania called Deep Dip 2, with a prize pool of $30,000.

    I don’t play Trackmania at all, but it’s been really fun to watch the daily edits that Wirtual’s YouTube has been making for the live streams. Watching someone’s heart rate shoot up ~40 bpm just after making a butt clenching jump is vicariously entertaining in the max. His video on Deep Dip 1 was also fantastic.

      It’s insanely hard compared to the first (only 12 people finished that one.) I think it’s nice that the streamers cheer eachother on, normal races can make it competitive but everyone knows that they can fail that same jump just as easily.

      I was not expecting it to last quite this long tho.

        What’s almost more crazy is that a few of the tiny number of people who finished the first one went on to speed run it. Skipping entire sections with crazy shortcuts, nailing insane maneuvers over and over.

        A shocking amount of the difficulty is in knowledge.
