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

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!

sill can not find the vods?
You can watch them in the longer streams if that's what you mean.. At times I have trouble linking Twitch on this site but if you go to the videos under the twitch Evo page, you can watch the NA top 8 under the video titled "EVO 2021 Online: Guilty Gear -Strive- Asia: Top 8!", with other regions in different vids like that.

Looks like it worked, NRS stream starts at 14:55:20


Damn son didn't even see this part with Boon and Battle of the Realms clip
