The charity event "Bisalina Speedruns" is taking place on 22 November 2025 at SK Gaming in Cologne. Creators from across Germany will collect donations for Amnesty International. For the first time, the event will be broadcast on German pay TV via eSportsONE, as well as on over 30 live channels.

The Bisalina Speedruns charity event will take place on 22 November 2025 at SK Gaming's Magenta Facility, which is also responsible for producing the event. From 12:00 to 22:00, creators from across Germany will demonstrate their skills in speedrunning and collect donations for Amnesty International e.V., who will be present at the event with their own stand. While the event itself is by invitation only, it will be broadcast on over 30 live channels, as well as on German pay-TV for the first time via eSportsONE, reaching viewers throughout Germany.

"Human rights and gaming have more in common than you might think. Both thrive on community, fairness, and a commitment to one another. We are therefore very grateful that Amnesty International e.V. will be the focus of the Bisalina Speedruns Event in 2025," says Bianca Himmelsbach, Team Lead Movement Building at Amnesty International in Germany.

The event is set to be even bigger this year, with 120 guests from the press, creator scene, politics and business expected to attend. Participating creators include Verena, DeChangeman, Dävid, Locolea, Luara and Vicotryona. Media partners such as Berlin International Gaming (BIG) and eSportsONE are supporting the event. Additionally, the Prime League will run various scenarios to help beginners get started with esports, particularly League of Legends players.

In addition to the "Mario Kart World Beat the Pro Competition", the focus in 2025 will be on the Crash Bandicoot prize money competition for the first time. Creators can now speedrun the first level, "N. Sanity Beach" in any version of the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and record their times. Ultimately, €5,000 will be awarded to the competitor with the best time, and an additional €5,000 will be donated to charity. Popular formats such as the charity auction will also return. Prizes will include a custom SM7B from Shure in the Bisalina Speedruns look, as well as a one-to-one session with esports athletes.
