Evo 2012 Live Broadcast Details. Multiple Streams, plus Optional HD PPV.

Evo 2012 Live Broadcast Details. Multiple Streams, plus Optional HD PPV.
by on June 26th, 2012 at 10:42 am

Last year an amazing 2.2 million people tuned in to to watch Evo 2011.  So in 2012 we’re working as hard as we can to bring you an incredible viewing experience.  Here’s what we’ve got in store.

Three High Quality Streams

Just like last year, we will run two streams 100% devoted to tournament action for all of the games at Evo.  This year we’re adding a third stream to broadcast all of the panels at Evo, along with some behind-the-scenes content produced by the great Richard Li and the amazing Cross Counter and Cross Counter Asia crews.  With this third stream we really want to give our live viewers a taste of what it’s like to be at Evo.

Custom Player

Watching three streams at once can be a pain, so with the help of the guys at Twitch.tv we’ve built our own custom player, with simultaneous viewing, multiple choices for stream layouts, and the full stream schedule. Check it out here!

HD PPV Option.  Great Stream Quality for a Great Cause

For the first time we will also offer a PPV option to view the gameplay streams in 720p.  This is 100% optional.  In 2012 the free stream will have same quality and even more content as our 2011 stream!  But for those who can afford it, the HD option is great way for viewers to support spirit of Evo and get a little something back in return.

Here’s the good part.  All of the PPV proceeds will go toward the formation of an annual $10,000 Evo college scholarship for gamers pursuing degrees in gaming and technology.  We believe strongly in the positive power of gaming, and want to help show that gaming can be a gateway to a fulfilling life-long profession, not just a fun pass-time.  We hope you feel the same and will choose the PPV option.  You can find out more about the scholarship here.

IPlayWinner X Team Spooky

Of course our stream will be produced by the hardest working guys in the fighting game scene, IPW and Team Spooky.  I’m thrilled to bring them back to once again produce the stream, and know they’ll do a fantastic job.

    Will the PPV stream still lag like crazy like every big Twitch stream does? If not, might be worth paying for.

  • http://twitter.com/ThePhantomnaut Carlo Dela Cruz (直人)

    Yay for the Twitch transition! If I didn’t go to EVO, I would have paid the HD option especially if it helps a cause.

  • http://twitter.com/SRKJD J.D Gonzalez

    ey, I’m going to be there in person, so I really have no use to purchase the HD feed.
    Is there any separate place where you accept simple donations for it, or better yet, will there be anything on the EVO floor available for purchase that will go towards this.

    • http://twitter.com/Warpticon Chris

       Wouldn’t purchasing it, even if you’re not using it, be functionally the same as just donating?

      • http://twitter.com/SRKJD J.D Gonzalez

        A direct donation means more for them.

    Will the streams be archived? Also I think there should be a guideline for users who want to buy the HD streams. Everybody can’t run a HD stream and should be aware what type of connection is needed and what type of hardware is needed.

  • Jakeospikez

    Also would like to know if there is going to be an archive. I will be gone for much of Saturday and would like to view what I missed. I don’t mind paying for the HD stream if it means I get access to the archive.

  • inkblotSRK

    Several people have asked: Yes, the stream will be archived

    Looking at the current layouts, is there a chance we could get a 3 stream layout without chat? I’ll probably will be watching with a tv and I won’t really need chat and I imagine there are more people who would like to watch without chat on the page

    Nice.
    Anyone who complains about the price probably can’t afford the bandwidth to handle HD anyway.

    If your to young to work, stay in school.

    Is it going to be streamed on Playstation Home again this year? Last year it lagged like a mofo but I’d love to see it make a comeback especially at a improved capacity. 16 bit, can’t wait to see your Kitana action again.

  • EricForman

    Just wanted to confirm if ALL of the PPV money goes to SRK charity fund, or does Twitch get a cut?

    I prefer to donate 100% to charity fund, because I don’t want to support Twitch and their community manager Jared Rea who went out of his way to run a smear campaign on the FGC, while Rea himself has said the most racist things imaginable.

    Don’t wanna support an absurd culture where a phony and racist guy is forcing a whole community to be PC, even when no harm was intended.

    • TopHaZZard

      Yeah,Screw those guys for giving Evo a platform to raise money for a good cause and a custom stream browser. What a bunch of asses Amirite.

  • http://twitter.com/itskori Kori F

    what happens if someone subscribes and just spams the troll face 500 times? does he still get timed out even tho he PAYED for this? just wondering, i like the idea and all.

  • MrWizardSRK

    Yes paying for a subscription doesn’t allow you to go super crazy and spam up the chat when other people are trying to talk. Be civil and all will be fine.

  • http://twitter.com/emezie Emezie Okorafor

    So, why is a tournament with ~900 entrants, even without a free t-shirt or a huge prize pot, getting nearly NO stream time?

    I get it. SFxT sucks, blah blah blah.

    The game clearly has a lot of interest considering the number of tourney entries over the past several months…regardless of what a vocal minority of stream monsters and youtube commenters like to pretend.

    The (many) people who paid good money and entered this tourney deserve stream time just like all the other games.

    • http://www.facebook.com/peraltasoto Gustavo Peralta Soto

      and here we go lol

    • Steven Tise

      Jesus, dude. You’re free to care about SFxT as much as you want. You’re free to surround yourself with like-minded people. Sometimes the games you enjoy get ignored in larger venues. It is what it is. I guess it’s good you’re a SFxT fan. If you were a fan of a game that actually DOES get unfairly marginalized, you’d have had a stroke by now.

    • http://twitter.com/Christianbamy Christian Amy

      No no no, go that way with that xT stream ish, You and i both know that there’s a noticeable viewership drop off whenever that ish hits the stream. Equips flame/logic shield.

    • Jake Long

      “The (many) people who paid good money and entered this tourney deserve stream time just like all the other games.”

      While this is a great point, it should be noted that 93% of them are getting stream time in other games.  Only 7% of the entrants in SFxT are ONLY entered in SFxT (compared to 30-40% of all of the other games).

      • Jake Long

        Although… I wrote this before realizing that it has NO airtime on either stream outside of Top 8.  I think that… ya know, throw a semi-final up or something.

    • http://twitter.com/CptSaltyPete Peter Loney (ピーター)

      Melty Blood deserved stream time too, but it didn’t get any outside of top 8 because, guess what, most people who cared about it WERE ALREADY AT EVO. Its not just a vocal minority, the majority of people entering SFxT are entering SFxT because its there.

    • http://twitter.com/poke133 Drago Umeharevich

      your tears, they are delicious!

    • ReoAyanami

      Every official game getting streaming from quarterfinal onwards except for SFxT including three games with less participants. It is quite obvious that Evo is regretting that they included SFxT in their official game lineup. With how things are going, it’s not surprising. 

      On positive notes, it does have a strong number of participants despite of all the negativity and it is still getting more exposure than games that are not featured. It’s up to the fans to build up a stronger scene that proves how wrong Evo is about it.

    I heard that there’d be a $12 charge for stream chat, and came here ready to rage. Glad that’s not the case, and now I might even pay up, considering it’s for a good cause.

    BTW, the custom player is really nice. Thanks for that.

    gotta say, that custom player is pretty sick. its like those sports channels on satellite tv with the multiple games on one screen and all. very nice.

    cant wait for evo this weekend.
