One point of contention in the blog post is when Bungie will release the “normal” mode for the new raid.

Rite of the Nine Tournament with DestinyTracker

Bungie, in collaboration with DestinyTracker, is running a Spire of the Watcher Destiny 2 speedrun tournament. It will take place from July 10th at 9:00 pm PT (6:00 am CET, July 11th) until July 12th at 9:00 pm PT (6:00 am CET, July 13th). The rules for the speed run are as follows:

• Completed on Eternity mode
• Follow Intended Paths: All fireteam members must stay within the playable area. No out-of-bounds routes or ledge-hopping to bypass mechanics.
• No Skipping Mechanics or Encounters: All nodes must be connected. All enemies and bosses must be fought in their designed phases, with no shortcutting encounters.
• No Fireteam Warping: Players may not leave and rejoin to skip travel, spawn checkpoints, or manipulate enemy triggers.
• Standard Movement Only: Players may use any movement abilities that are part of their subclass kit (e.g., dodge, blink, Icarus Dash, grapple). Movement techniques that rely on external gear interactions, such as using the Eager Edge to gain unintended momentum, are not permitted.
• Loadouts and Subclasses are Open: You may use any subclass, weapons, and armor, but their use must not create unintended skips or de-spawns.
• Player Persistence: All fireteam members must remain in the activity for the whole duration of the run. Leaving and rejoining, swapping classes or characters, or intentionally disconnecting is not allowed. The run must be completed with the same players from start to finish.
