The speaker, who is organizing a Rocket League event, shares their experience of setting up and hosting the world's longest professional match. They gathered two teams of professional players, casters, and a prize pool of $1,000. The event was initially planned to last around 20 minutes, but the server failed at around 50 minutes, leading to an unlimited match duration. The speaker invited more casters and used their editor, Paco, to cast a live stream.
The event began with the longest game, with bets on the final score. The game started uneventfully, with the orange team leading the blue team. However, at minute 28, the game took a turn when the server failed, and the ball immediately reset for the kickoff. This led to the game extending beyond the expected time.
The speaker had to replace the timer at around the 83rd minute with a manual timer. The game was joined by LCS casters, who were pressured into doing play-by-play for the game as if it was an official LCS match.
The orange team extended their lead on the scoreboard, jumping out to a 68 to 40 lead. The blue team scored its 69th goal, but the orange team had 116 gold by this time.
The event raised over $7000 for charity and paid players from a prize pool of over $5,000. The speaker expressed gratitude to the community for their support and participation.
