KBR just bodied ChrisG

meh, that's not the real ChrisG.
Will he be our Leffen?!
As long as Evo keeps running late and keeps having a totally packed and fucked up schedule on Sunday, I doubt it. The number of viewers hasn't really been increasing in the last couple of years AFAIK.

Nothing better than watching champ winning tournaments and bodying scrubs in winners and grand finals
Well, the last two years Melee set the record and Marvel broke it.
It was only about a 5k peak difference though at about ~145k

kane gatekeeping for fchamp is NWM tradition.
I clicked on a link while checking GAF yesterday which directed me toward one of the NWM stream. I had the displeasure of briefly seeing the chat and there was one troll doing the tired routine of the white supremacist. Always somewhat effective trolling given the diverse community among the FGC. XD
I fail to see the point of these chat given that they are just a lighting rod for inane comments and bombarding it with dumb emoticons.

Khaos seem to be money hungry as hell. They went to sub only earlier and begged for subs lol, and they followed up on their "threat" to go to sub only during Marvel top 8
Btw did Fchamp ever apologize to KOG? How was that resolved?

Dammit Justin the hell was that?
they finally realised it was a dumb idea to go sub only mode with no subs
IDK what these guys are doing honestly, they are just all over the place.

I feel bad for him because even he knows that win was about ChrisG getting worse and not KBR getting better.
Which makes it even worse cause when he faces F. Champ, he looks like a baby holding a fight stick. He can't do anything against Champ's immaculate zoning ;_;
no it's xrd then USF4
KBR IS getting better though.

Another reason why EVO always loses viewers before the last top 8 is due them doing awards/announcements. Why they do this I will never know. They should just do the awards after the entire tournament is over.

That's even better. Xrd is a fine game, I need to put more time into it.

My idea is that they want everyone to be recognized on stream and so they think that since the game that everyone wants to watch will be right after and that people will stick around to watch. What I think actually ends up happening is that people think that EVO is over due to the awards being presented and tune out.
I don't know the logistics that go into making EVO run as smoothly as possible but it can't be that difficult to handle announcements (pertaining to non-game announcements, such as a combo video or tournament trailer) and awards (unless its a trailer or short announcement) at the end of all top 8's. Question is, don't they have the main stage plus two other smaller main stages? I might be confusing the stage set up with CEO's but they can run two games at once on the other smaller stages on two of the EVO streams so it can cut down on time. I only suggest that since the beginning top 8 games on Final's day don't have the biggest numbers of players who registered, hence why they are being played that early. Which in turn would make it reasonable to play both at the same time, however that would cause a problem for player's who want to watch both or are in both top 8's.
My feeling is they do awards because some people leave the venue before the end of Street Fighter. That, and you need set-up time.
Announcements? Well, I don't think that kills viewership or hype if it's the right thing. Maybe don't let your surprise announcement leak via projector the night before. This year they've got SF5 stuff and I want that more than I do top-8 USF4 lol.

That's exactly what happens. Although even if the tournament was over, the awards would still get 80k viewers. That's enough recognition.
Only SFV new info during awards can save EVO from losing viewers.
