How To Watch EVO 2021 Online — (NA MK11 is Today/Tomorrow! Post Steams)

Hey, everyone! So for the first time ever, there's a fairly unconventional format for the EVO championship this year. Everything is online, and the main tournament is held across two weekends instead of one. It'll take a little more work to keep track of the action across Twitch, so here's how you can watch:

2 EVO WEEKENDS

Week One: August 6-8
Week Two: August 13-15


TOURNAMENT DATES AND TIMES

The tournaments are split into 4 regions, with each starting at 12 PM in their local time zone:

STREAM INFORMATION (AND HOW YOU CAN HELP)

Since everyone's online, there won't be traditional 'pools' main streams, like in previous years; and so it'll be up to individual competitors to stream their runs on Twitch.

They'll be collecting the streams on juked.gg: https://juked.gg/c/evo2021#overview

As such, I'd like to use this thread for all of us here to keep track of what's going on. If you have any updates, are aware of a key matchup coming up, or are spectating a streamer on a hot run, please post it in the thread and let everyone know here!

 

Safe travels and good luck to all of the competitors attending.

 

The EU Top 8 for MK11 is set:

@CrimsonShadow @Marlow I’m glad at least some people on this site appreciate my sense of humor. I was going to really lay into the traveling bit but I figured short and sweet would be the most convincing.


Anyway, my first actual post ITT that I deleted to make that dumb joke was that I think this is going to be, without a doubt, the most interesting EVO I’ve ever witnessed. Which also reminds me, are there clear rules on lag? If a match is for some reason randomly laggy and it isn’t clear who is to blame, are there any rules in place for such an occasion? At any rate, I’m going to be viewing this entire event as it’s going to be entertaining no matter which way you look at it.

 

The EU Strive top 8 is running right now!

 

11,000 people watching the MK11 Latin America Top 8 on Twitch.. Let's goooo

 

This was a really interesting set from LATAM Top 8: Broseph (Shao Kahn) vs. GBribeiro4 (Jacqui Briggs)

Love the Shao's patience

 

What fantastic tournaments.

Seriously. This game ended development in a great place. I'm looking forward to more next week.

 

Anyone got any twitch links to check out the action from last weekend?

 

Shao evo run yo

I'll take solace in that I've never had someone do a empty bionic jump into a D2 Krushing Blow on me

Spoiler

Jacqui gets knocked down a tier by Rain

 

Anyone got any twitch links to check out the action from last weekend?

I second this request

B03 for m11 is bullshit.

 

I understand the appeal but I think the better player wins the best of three in this game as much as they should.

And personally, I think it makes pools way more watchable but that's any game

 

So is online EVO over or what? Seems like there was such little info about who won what games, I must be missing something and I’m too lazy to look into it.

• LATAM Strive Top 8 Archive

B03 for m11 is bullshit.

It was FT3.

 

So it's confirmed that only the Winner of each Top 4 (for tournaments with 'split' regions) will make it into the Evo showcase. For all of the Top 8's it'll be the top two.

So for example, iDom will make it to the Showcase, Punk will not, while both Leffen and Uriel will be there (assuming they don't have any visa/scheduling issues, etc).

 

Some people streaming MK11 EVO runs today (post more if you have more!):

Hey what's going on, the smash.gg has a ton of DQ's on it. Is that normal? It shows Sonicfox DQ'd? What does that mean?

It's pretty normal for online tournaments. The DQs are people who didn't show up, or didn't make it in time. Sonic decided not to compete and is taking some family time instead.

 

Start already yo!

 

Oh it's on now

Jacqui player got what they deserved by losing to another Jacqui player

Spoiler: Hayatei vs NinjaKilla

NinjaKilla model t900 looked unbeatable in the first two matches but Hayatei found a way to adjust and get his game going. Hope to see rematch

Spoiler: Splash vs Sooneo

Low-tier Robo shows he can dominate matchups with super clean play from Sooneo, but Splash showing off his dedication to that swaggy Lao variation

 

sill can not find the vods?
