Content creators beware: MTV India is blocking Tekken 7 content from YouTube [UPDATED]

Many content creators who have any sort of reach into Tekken 7 woke up to an unpleasant surprise Wednesday morning. They found that their recent uploads of the title had been removed from YouTube, based off of content claims from MTV India. One of the first public announcements was from Toronto Top Tiers’ NeoRussell, whose Monday Stun City weekly — which features Tekken, alongside Dragon Ball FighterZ and other games — was pulled in its entirety based off of the copyright claim.

NeoRussell wasn’t alone, as Twitter began exploding with mentions of Tekken 7 alongside MTV India, with reports of blocked content.

As discovered, it appears as though the television network — which, obviously, is the MTV affiliate in India — recently hosted a tournament for the game, and as a way to protect their own content put a copyright claim that has a broad overreach into any content created from the game.

It is unclear what will happen — but given the overreach of this claim, it’s obvious that at some point Bandai Namco will get involved. We will update this as we receive further word.

UPDATE: Reportedly, NeoRussell has already had some success contesting the block, and is urging other content creators to do so as well.

Fnatic return to the FGC by signing Shakz, Akainu and Brick for Street Fighter V

Ahead of the third season of the Gfinity Elite Series, various esports organizations are gathering up players to represent them in this televised esports event. Having spent a fair few years out of the FGC, UK based esports team Fnatic are returning to the world of Street Fighter by signing Shakil “Shakz” Ghazi, Christ “Akainu” Onema and Evan “Brick” Slabic to their roster.

Fnatic’s new team is a pan-European affair, with Shakz hailing from the UK, Akainu from France and Brick from Sweden. All three players are familiar faces to seasoned Gfinity Elite Series viewers, with Brick playing for Epsilon in Season 2, Shakz playing for Infused and Akainu playing for Prophecy.

These three will be representing Fnatic not only during the third Gfinity Elite Series, but through the whole of 2018’s Capcom Pro Tour. Gfinity Elite Series Season 3 will begin on March 9th, so expect more roster reveals as we get closer to the series opener.
