Kenny Omega Talks with Daily Dot Esports about Scheduling Time to Practice, Thoughts on Street Fighter V and Mike Ross

Even though CEO 2016 has come and gone, the Daily Dot Esports’ YouTube channel is still releasing plenty of content from the event.

Steven Jurek from Daily Dot catches up with New Japan Pro Wrestling star, Tyson “Kenny Omega” Smith, who graced CEO 2016 with his presence competing in the SFV tournament and putting on an entertaining show with outlandish wrestling promos and in-ring antics. Omega and WWE’s own Xavier Woods even competed in a SFV first-to-five exhibition for fans to watch and enjoy.

Omega talks about how he tries to fit in SFV practice when he’s not busy with wrestling shows in Japan, what he thinks of SFV and his reaction to Woods showing up to play at CEO as well. He also gives his two cents on how FGC personality/competitor, Mike Ross would fare in the wrestling business.

For all of you who competing in Evo 2016 this year, it’s time for you to start your information gathering and match up practice as the beta brackets for this year’s events are now available. Brackets for all of the main games can be browsed currently, but do note these brackets are subject to change. If you notice any major problems with any of the brackets, make sure to hit the “Send Feedback” button at the bottom of the page to report any players that need shifting round.

You will notice that players within the top 32 of that particular game are noted with a number box right next to their name, so feel free to check if you drew the short straw and have to fight Infiltration round 1 at 8 AM. You can also search for individual players using this special form, so you can check your predicted path during your pool. Also, any brackets labelled 10 PM on Friday will start as soon as the 8 PM pools finish, so make sure to stick around at that time so pools can finish as quick as possible and everyone can go out and party/sleep.
