I took my son to see this tournament last year at what they called a "pub-stomp" where it was streamed on a twitch channel on a big screen and with surround sound. I knew very little about the game, but he did, and those announcers really get into it :facepalm:

The creators tweak it a lot to assure no unfair advantages are discovered with character combos etc. I couldn't get into it, but obviously it's a big business.
