− | Approximately 150.000 viewers had tuned in live to watch this run via Twitch ((https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick).), easily the largest audience an SMK performance had ever received. Thanks to the generous donations of the viewers ($2,879.19 in total, the goal was $2,750.00), the donation incentive was met (https://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/bids/agdq2016). This allowed Florent and Karel to deliver an encore performance. The idea that Florent and Karel had beforehand was to give the viewers a bite of what top level multiplayer SMK / CDM is like. Therefore they chose to play Match Race with [[Choco Island 1]] as the track; it is known as the track that has the most interesting meta-game and item dynamics. Shockingly, after a nice weaponry exchange in earlier laps, this race also ended in a photo finish. Both drivers collected a feather to set-up a finish line trick finish, however this time Karel came out a fraction faster. When Florent and Karel left the stage, the SMK show that they had provided was received with a standing ovation from the audience (approximately 400 people) present in the hall. Much applause was also coming through via Twitch chat. Many also commented on the excellent commentary provided by [[Dan Hoernemann]], who had truly done a stellar job at explaining all the SMK technicalities to the public. | + | Approximately 150.000 viewers had tuned in live to watch this run via Twitch ((https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick).), easily the largest audience an SMK performance had ever received.
