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 donation incentive was met (https://gamesdonequick.com/tracker/bids/agdq2016). This allowed Florent and [[Karel]] to deliver an encore performance. The idea that they both had beforehand was to give the viewers a bite of what top level multiplayer SMK / CDM is like. Therefore they chose to play 1 round of Match Race on [[Choco Island 1]], which is known as the track that has the most interesting meta-game and item dynamics. Shockingly, this race also ended in a photo finish. The race started with a nice weaponry exchange in the beginning laps, after which both drivers collected a feather to set-up a trick finish. This time it was Karel's turn to come out a fraction faster. When the SMK pairing left the stage, the 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.
