ESA Winter 2020

ESA is a series of charity fundraising marathons revolving around speedrunning! For one whole week 300 gamers will gather together to present world-class gameplay on https://twitch.tv/esamarathon - completing games as fast as possible while raising money for a cause.

Where?

ESA Winter will be held at the Quality Hotel View, just like ESA Summer! We'll have the big hall and a few of the smaller rooms to give you the full ESA experience.

Game Submissions

Game submissions will be lead by Fatzke and once again assisted by IrregularJinny and eTholon. 

First submission phase: October 20th - November 3rd (including)
First Accepts & Cuts: November 17th
Submission phase for chase games and unreleased games: December 12th - December 14th
Final game list and schedule: December 15th

Hotel Rooms

Hotel bookings are available via the special Quality Hotel View microsite (scroll down to the bottom) or by email. Booking will be primarily in twin rooms. A limited amount of triples are available by emailing the hotel and quads, if available, will be released at a later date. All room include breakfast.

Volunteers

At ESA Winter 2020 accepted volunteers will be entitled to a comp ticket. If you pay for a ticket, you will recieve a refund later if required.

Travel

Hyllie Station, the first/last stop in Sweden, is attached to the hotel. Trains run directly to Copenhagen Airport and Denmark every 20 minutes (journey time to the airport 15 minutes), and to Malmö city centre every 10 minutes (journey time 10 minutes).

The closest international airport is Copenhagen (Kastrup) which is a 15 minute direct train ride from the hotel. ESA attendees should not use Malmö airport, which is much further by bus and requiring a change in Malmö city centre.

Those travelling from Germany can also look for DB Sparpreis Europa tickets to Copenhagen Central, buying the last leg to Hyllie separately on arrival in Copenhagen. These are usually available three months prior and get more expensive over time.

Parking is available through P Malmö and is priced by the city to discourage travel by car. There are long and short term rates, details are available on the Quality Hotel View website and if you email the front desk they will be able to confirm exact rates that can be added to your hotel room. Rates in the hotel owned underground parking are significantly higher than the rates in the multi-storey car park.
