The 2019 World Yo-Yo Contest Thread

Have to pay $5 to watch it and the live stream is STILL total crap, 6fps and skipping around every 5 seconds.

There needs to be exceptions for foul language on here because this is some MAJOR #^€¥%+^ #¥>#%+#<{$&

Why is it every Asian YoYo contest has their &$&%+%# together but we can’t handle a simple live stream?

Live stream seems fine to me and mine hasn’t skipped around at all

Same here. I’m watching the one “with commentary”, which seems to be working better for people, me included.

The “with commentary” stream is working really well.

Same here - stream is working great for me; no skipping or buffering issues, sounds and looks really good. Looks like the overlay is less opaque now too so you can see through it (or it could be it was always like that, but can actually tell now that I’m Chromecasting to my TV).
Edit: Oh hey that’s cool - today is 1 year since I joined the YYE forums, what a perfect day for it! :slight_smile:

2nd edit - does anyone know if @JohnnyJ made it through wildcard?

Me! 20 of the 16 contestants that have gone so far in prelims have been rocking the AC2.

They really should announce a players yoyo and sponsor when they say their names before they start

It’s incredible really, what these modern 1A players can do without even using an AC2

That would be cool - I’ve seen a few Shutter WAs, but for the most part I can’t tell a yoyo just by looking at it (Shutter is the exception, especially with those mirror rims)

This!!! If there were one thing I could change about the viewer experience it would be this.
