Tournaments

Over the years, there have been a number of different Portal 2 speedrunning tournaments, ranging from single player, to co-op, to challenge mode, to even bhop maps. This page serves as a history of every Portal 2 speedrunning tournament held, along with the podiums of each.

Early Tournaments

For the sake of this page, "Early" refers to before 2021, where the organization team of tournaments/the number of "official" ones would change. This era is a wild west of people hosting their own tournaments, some officially hosted on channels like SpeedGaming, and others just for fun between a group of friends.

Mediocres Tournaments

Some new members of the community gathered together to start up a series of tournaments, initially intended for those who were a little lower-level to play, but high-level tournaments were hosted as well.

Current "Era" Tournaments

Many of the Mediocres' organizers were officially brought on to the P2SR Community/Discord's mod team, so tournaments were rebranded to simply be under P2SR. This is the current "era" of Portal 2 speedrunning tournaments.

Advent Calendars

Since 2022, the Portal 2 Speedruns community have hosted yearly Advent Calendars during December, following much of the same format as real advent calendars. Each day between December 1st and Christmas, a new speedrunning challenge would be hosted, with their own leaderboards, and the top runners of each day getting a certain number of points. The player with the most points at the end of the month wins.
