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. ---

> [@Nathan](#): > > It’s the best stream and coverage I’ve ever seen for a yo-yo event. 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. ---

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. 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. ---

I like it when it works, but I think Steve should skip a few of them. Yeah…it’s been a little tough.
