Old School RuneScape fans, buckle up. OTK is throwing down the gauntlet with a brand new competitive event: The Trials of Gielinor, kicking off July 26th at 2PM CST, and it’s shaping up to be absolute chaos.
Spearheaded by a mix of top OSRS talent and streaming giants from across the web, this event marks OTK’s next big foray into the world of RuneScape. Think quests, IRL challenges, PvP, PvE, speedruns—and a whole lot of yelling.
Who’s Involved?
Sodapoppin is in—and completely clueless.
“I don’t know anything about this game,” Soda admitted on stream. “I’m participating, but I don’t know what any of this means. I think I’m gonna have a coach.”
This ain’t your average OSRS event. Trials of Gielinor is stacked with a chaotic blend of OTK juggernauts, RuneScape veterans, and wildcards from across the streaming world. Here’s who we know is locked in:
- Asmongold – The face of OTK, returning to RuneScape for the chaos
- Sodapoppin – Has no clue what’s going on, and that’s half the fun
- Esfand – Ready to tank, troll, or both
- Odablock – PvP demon and Kick’s RuneScape king
- Faux – High IQ OSRS content specialist and bossing god
- AnnieFuchsia – Bringing her MMO mastery into Gielinor
- Graycen – You already know he’s going hard in PvP
- Sardaco – OnlyFangs rep with unpredictable energy
- PureSpam – One of the most respected OSRS players, lethal in any format
- J1mmy – Narrator, meme lord, chaos bringer
- Shoebek – A newer face but a dangerous wildcard
- Alfie – Hardcore legend and no stranger to high-stakes OSRS
- This roster is cracked. Whether you’re here for raw skill, unhinged commentary, or just want to watch Soda click the wrong spell and die—Trials of Gielinor has you covered.
Soda admits he barely knows who’s who, but he’s along for the ride—and clearly enjoying the memes.
Format Breakdown (from what we know…)
Here’s the rough outline from Soda’s leaked details:
- Maxed accounts for everyone (but with some quirky modifiers)
- Round 1: Wilderness
- Round 2: Varrock Sewers
- Round 3: Speedrunning challenge
- Round 4: Theater of Blood
- Round 5: PvP Tournament
And between rounds? Expect IRL challenges and stream shenanigans.
To balance skill gaps, buffs are being handed out:
- Noobs get 50% bonus accuracy and damage vs. non-noobs
- Experts only get 80 Defense
- Teams can’t teamkill
- Prayer won’t drain passively
- Everyone gets 100% bonus accuracy and 50% bonus damage vs monsters
As Soda puts it:
“They sent me all the details, and none of it made sense to me.”
What’s the Vibe?
Absolute scuffed chaos—and that’s the fun.
With maxed accounts in the hands of players like Soda, who openly admits he doesn’t even know what autocast does, this is less about peak performance and more about high-stakes content.
“You could take the best RuneScape player in the world, put them on my team, and there’s only so much they can do.”
Expect hilarious fails, cracked gameplay from the pros, and IRL antics sprinkled throughout the competition. It’s Runescape meets OTK energy—and that means memes, mayhem, and probably someone falling into lava.
Where to Watch?
The entire event will be streamed live on Kick’s OTK channel, marking another big move from OSRS talent toward the platform.
