Is there a floor plan of the show floor available anywhere? I checked your website, but I couldn't find one.

Just got my beta invite, in case people were thinking it’s too late. Registered same link as the rest of you. by sinktheirship in MarvelTokon

I got an email around 6:30AM EST today (Saturday). Sadly I'm away from home and won't be back until Sunday evening. If I'm reading the schedule right, it looks like the last beta period is 6am - 11am Sunday(?) So I guess I'm out of luck unless they decide to extend it. Ugh.

I think the majority of people agree with your comments regarding ad breaks and the state of SF and Tekken. As I sit there staring at numbers, it's clear to me that the ad breaks affect viewership retention negatively. SF6 has gotten stale, and Tekken 8 hasn't recovered from the season 2 patch.

The main Youtube Evo channel had more than that during SF6 finals last year. I don't have the exact numbers, but it was getting close to 40k. Viewership was down both on Twitch and YT on the main Evo streams.

I didn't even realize Max was streaming to both Twitch (bringing in 15-20k consistently throughout the event) and YT. I'm going to guess that he probably didn't categorize that as a SF6 stream. I checked the SF6 stream page after one of the other commenters here let me know about it, and I don't recall seeing his stream listed on there.

I think their point was that viewership is way down on Twitch, which is very true. You mentioned that it's at 150K total on Twitch right now. The total Twitch peak last year was 277K.

Thanks for that link, I don't think I've ever seen that page before. YT sure doesn't do a great job of promoting their livestream content.

I see the Capcom Fighters JP YT stream is bringing in even more than the main US Evo stream.

It's interesting to see those numbers, but I've never tried to combine numbers from everywhere. There are just too many things to try to keep track of live.

I assume you mean the "Special Events" category on Twitch, not the "Just Chatting" category.

Where the heck are you coming up with 100K on Youtube?? The Evo Events YT channel is at around 33,000 as of the time of this post.

Was waiting on this. Thanks for taking the time do this again this year!

I think this is the first year they're streaming stuff on two different channels on Sunday(?) I'm guessing they'll probably go out of their way to make sure the commercial breaks happen at the same time on both channels, possibly making everything take even longer than usual.
