European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA), formerly European Speedster Assembly, is a semi-annual video game speedrunning charity marathon held in Sweden. Held since 2012, the events have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for several charities.{{Cite web|date=2018-07-24|title=Spelmaraton i Malmö samlar pengar till välgörenhet|url=https://spela.aftonbladet.se/2018/07/spelmaraton-i-malmo-samlar-pengar-till-valgorenhet/|access-date=2021-02-08|website=Spela med Effie!|language=sv-SE}}

The two flagship events of the European Speedrunner Assembly are ESA Winter, held in February every year, and ESA Summer, held between June and August every year. Both events last seven days. In addition to these events, ESA also hosts smaller European-based speedrunning events such as the Benelux Speedrunner Gathering (BSG), as well as Break the Record: Live, a three-day competition to break the world record of a specified game and category. They also host special charity marathons.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2018-10-08|title=ESA Movember - Master Information Post|url=https://old.esamarathon.com/news/1d138bcb-20f5-4366-a84c-3bba0fee11c2|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210203185016/https://old.esamarathon.com/news/1d138bcb-20f5-4366-a84c-3bba0fee11c2|archive-date=2021-02-03|access-date=2021-02-05|website=old.esamarathon.com}} By 2016, ESA was the second-largest speedrunning event globally. It has been described as "a kind of European federation for these virtual 'athletes'."{{cite news|url= https://tek.sapo.pt/extras/site-do-dia/artigos/european-speedrunner-assembly-a-casa-dos-maratonistas-dos-videojogos|title=European Speedrunner Assembly: a casa dos "maratonistas" dos videojogos|date=2 August 2020|language=Portuguese|last=Parreira|first=Rui|work=SAPO Tek}}

Events are broadcast live on Twitch. Viewers are encouraged to donate with incentives and bids, such as choosing character names, having runners perform additional tasks, or extra bonus runs.

= Break the Record: Live =

Break the Record: Live is a sponsored event run by ESA, where the top qualifying players of a particular game and category compete to break the world record live in said category. A prize pool is split amongst the runners depending on their placings during the event, with additional prize money being awarded for breaking the record.

The first event was announced on December 26, 2019, for the Super Mario 64 120 Star category. The seven highest ranked Super Mario 64 speedrunners were flown to Sweden to participate in the live event. The event was sponsored by Elgato Gaming with a $5,000 prize pool, with the first prize being $3,000. An additional $5,000 grand prize was allocated for breaking the record.{{Cite web|title=Världseliten ger sig på Super Mario-rekordet|url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/a/kJGO39|access-date=2021-02-05|website=Aftonbladet|language=sv}}

In July 2020, the second event, for Doom Eternal, was held during ESA Summer Online 2020, sponsored by the internet security developer Kaspersky Lab.{{Cite web|title=StackPath|url=https://esports-news.co.uk/2020/07/28/bowiethehero-speedrunning-interview/|access-date=2021-02-05|website=esports-news.co.uk}}{{Cite web|date=2020-07-28|title=Doom Eternal Record Broken During First Ever Live Speedrunning Event|url=https://www.ggrecon.com/articles/doom-eternal-record-broken-during-first-ever-live-speedrunning-event|access-date=2021-02-05|website=GGRecon|language=EN}}

During a total of eleven Break the Record events held in 2020–2022, the world record has been broken six times.

In August 2012, Swedish gaming organisation Ludendi hosted a streaming marathon called European Speedster Assembly in Skövde, raising money for the charity Hand in Hand.{{Cite web|title=CtrlAltElite {{!}} ESA 2012 – Speedruns för välgörenhet|url=http://ctrlaltelite.se/2012/08/14/esa-2012-speedruns-for-valgorenhet/|access-date=2020-12-22|language=sv-SE|archive-date=2018-08-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180801221257/http://ctrlaltelite.se/2012/08/14/esa-2012-speedruns-for-valgorenhet/|url-status=dead}} It was inspired by Games Done Quick, a similar charity speedrunning marathon based in America.{{cite news |last1=Biery |first1=Thomas |title=Missing Summer Games Done Quick?

Ludendi also hosted the events in 2013{{cite news|url=https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/5593123|title=TV-spelsvärlden blickar mot Skövde|date=16 July 2013|work=Sveriges Radio|last=Lindgren|first=Anna|language=Swedish}} and 2014. From 2015, ESA has used the Twitch channel europeanspeedsterassembly.{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=2021-02-03|title=Europeanspeedsterassembly|url=https://socialblade.com/twitch/user/europeanspeedsterassembly/monthly|access-date=2021-02-03|website=socialblade.com}}

In 2016, ESA changed its name to European Speedrunner Assembly.{{Cite web|title=I interviewed three speedrunners about marathons, friendships, and Action 52|url=https://www.destructoid.com/stories/i-interviewed-three-speedrunners-about-marathons-friendships-and-action-52-506858.phtml|access-date=2021-02-08|website=Destructoid|date=17 June 2018|language=english}}{{cite web|url=https://www.twitter.com/esamarathon/status/694869619220291584|title=From now on we're changing the name of the event to: European Speedrunner Assembly!

In 2018 the organisation officially registered as a company under the name European Speedrunner Assembly AB.{{Cite web|title=European Speedrunner Assembly AB - Företagsinformation|url=https://www.allabolag.se/5591433916/european-speedrunner-assembly-ab|access-date=2020-12-21|website=www.allabolag.se}} The ESA planned to open an amusement arcade in a former industrial site in Växjö in November 2018.{{cite news|url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/smaland/ny-arena-for-e-sport-i-vaxjo|title=Ny arena för E-sport i Växjö|first=Johannes|last=Widergren|date=27 July 2018|work=SVT Nyheter}} This later turned into Smålands Spelhall which officially opened in 2019.{{Cite web |last=Färdigh |first=David |date=2019-05-13 |title=Premiäröppning för spelhall i Växjö |url=https://www.vxonews.se/nyheter/premiaroppning-for-spelhall-i-vaxjo/ |access-date=2022-03-01 |website=VXOnews |language=sv}}

In 2023, ESA reaffirmed its commitment to supporting any and all gender identities.{{Cite web |url=https://esamarathon.com/donation-screening-at-esa/ |last=Bell |first=Andrew |title=Donation Screening at ESA |date=Feb 12, 2023|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230212154214/https://esamarathon.com/donation-screening-at-esa/|archivedate=2023-02-12}}

ESA Winter 2024, which was held during February 2024, was the first ESA event that was not a continuous 24-hour stream throughout the event, but instead the broadcast was interrupted by scheduled overnight breaks.{{Cite web |title=2024 - Winter (Stream One) – European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) |url=https://horaro.org/esa/2024-winter1 |access-date=2024-01-13 |website=horaro.org}}{{Cite web |title=2024 - Winter (Stream Two) – European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) |url=https://horaro.org/esa/2024-winter2 |access-date=2024-01-13 |website=horaro.org}} This type of scheduling was also used for the following ESA Summer 2024 event.{{Cite web |title=2024 Summer – European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) |url=https://horaro.org/esa/2024-summer |access-date=2025-01-18 |website=horaro.org}}

Following a pause for the Winter 2025 event, ESA Summer 2025 was announced to move from its usual July spot and would instead take place in from 27 June – 6 July 2025, with both streams and a 24/7 'fully live' schedule, for the first time since 2023.{{Cite web |title=European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) |url=https://esamarathon.com |access-date=2025-01-18 |website=ESAMarathon - European Speedrunner Assembly}}
