With millions of players across Elo\u2019s established properties and nearly a decade of data and gaming expertise, Elo is well situated to provide SR.C with the development resources and product knowledge required for the continued growth and success of the speedrunning community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>After hearing their ideas and plans, and about all of the resources they would be able to pump into the site, I was convinced that this was the way to go, and that these were the right people for the site.<\/p><cite>Peter Chase, Speedrun.com founder<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With speedrunning marathons raising millions for charity every year, tens of millions of hours of speedrun content watched on Twitch.tv and YouTube, and the continued growth of the userbase of SR.C, the sustained development of SR.C by Elo will prove crucial to providing a scalable infrastructure for a flourishing community. SR.C currently offers extensive resources for speedrunners, including centralized record-keeping, forums, and guides, and Elo looks forward to developing additional features and website enhancements with the community\u2019s needs in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The acquisition of SR.C follows a successful year for Elo, which has included the launch of Valorbuff.com and the re-launch of TrackDota.com.
