This brings the total number of Evo finals that will aired on television to two, as the Street Fighter V finals will once again be broadcast on ESPN. Viewers can also watch both games on Twitch. You can view the full tournament schedule here.
Our Take
Street Fighter on ESPN and TBS, Smash Bros. On Disney XD. Guilty Gear on Crunchyroll and Tekken on MTV next, maybe? Also, it's going to be fun to see how often commentators are forced to say the game's full title, "Super Smash Bros. For Wii U," since this is an official broadcast, after all.
