They really need to reconsider their subscribers-only chat policy. At this point other big tournaments are more exciting to watch for this reason and for their superior rules (Bo5 instead of Bo3 for important sets).

There are 40.000 people watching. If everyone comments the chat becomes unreadable. It also helps with the trolls and spammers.

May watch a few Smash 4 games..

Tokido going in

Bots, slow-mode and competent moderators also help with trolls and spammers. I have seen tournaments with a lot more than 40 000 viewers and the chat was perfectly fine. And it doesn't help that they only stream once a year yet require you to pay $12 just to chat instead of the regular $5, resulting in the same few individuals chatting over and over.

This is all an unfortunate mix between laziness and greed on their part. The chat should at least be open before finals day.

Go to the Capcom Fighters stream. You can chat for free there.

can someone post the schedule today. i can't view/download the schedule since it is blocked from here. i'll be able to watch around 4:30 PM ET. Not sure which game would be streaming by then.

Where is it held so I know when the Tekken 7 finals re UK time? EDIT Vegas, got it, dang either 11pm or midnight

I gotta say, so far so good on the smash4 stream, thank god players are not using custom moves that often.
