Looks like Ben Conde made it, happy about that.

It’s the best stream and coverage I’ve ever seen for a yo-yo event.

I’m bummed Elliott Ogawa had a switch. But Donald went clean, so that’s good.

Note that the live stream starts 10 minutes before the actual event.

5

No kidding Nathan, with the replays, interviews and multiple angles it feels like a real sporting event. So impressed with what the organizers have put together and it kind of makes you wonder about whether previous Worlds could have been presented this way with different organizers.

6

The live stream is great! But the interviews have been a little awkward when the players can’t speak english that well. I like it when it works, but I think Steve should skip a few of them.

7

Can’t help but chuckle at Mickey scoring a 97.4 on the wildcard. Aint nothing but a thang…

8

Really bummed about Elliot switching. But, has anyone’s 5a stream started yet?

9

Yeah…it’s been a little tough. But there is almost no time, so hard to tell when someone doesn’t have much English until it’s too late.

I guess. What I’d like to hear during finals is the players predictions for top 3. I think that would be cool.

5A itself starts at 10:30.

11

Yeah there’s a few minutes of advertising before each event, not a big deal and it helps pay for the stream.

12

Do you think chase made it?

13

Yeah. I think Sora, Naoya, and Chase are top 3 (no order)

14

You could be right. I loved the guy from the UK though. I think he’ll make it.

15

Steve Brown just named new Marketing Manager for CLYW! Congrats on the new job Steve.

Can someone explain the system? Wild card, prelim, etc.

Steve Brown how can you do so many yoyo related things at the same time?

SO when I heard they were moving it away from the USA, I was a little sad, but if this is how production is elsewhere, keep it away. This is the BEST stream ever.

19

Is Zach going to make it?

With only 25 going through it’s going to be really tough for any competitor.
