TVer Broadcast

This may or may not work for people outside of Japan.

TVer is an online streaming site that is partnered up with several Japanese TV stations, including TBS. They are apparently going to be airing SASUKE 40 live as it happens in Japan, tomorrow December 27th from 6:00 PM JST.
Unlike Paravi, this is not a paid service so there are fewer hurdles to jump over. You would almost definitely need a VPN and as a warning, I've never watched anything on TVer live.

If people want to try to test it out, Navi, Trials and player spotlights are all here:

I do not know if they will keep SASUKE 40 up on TVer after it airs or if it will all go straight to Paravi.

Again, no guarantees if this is will work. Also, I am not TVer tech support. I won't be able to answer any of your questions.

Is it illegal to use, hence the VPN is required or is it just blocked or lagged outside of Japan?

Going off the description, and the app store; completely and truly kegal, but, as with any streaming service, you need a VPN because liecencing issues and international borders mix... poorly, and TVer is only accessible within Japan [having tried to d-l the app] as a result.

Kind of off topic but are we doing another twitch stream this year? Akin to the one that happened last tournament?

The livestream tab is at the top, so I'd assume so.

It's just blocked outside of Japan. TBS doesn't have it's own streaming service (Paravi is on-demand and PPV) so it teams up with TVer to stream certain shows.

OK. So the show is still up on TVer, split into two parts but it will only be up there for a week or so.

Trying to find it but not sure how tbh. (got a vpn and went on the site)

Any advice? Thx

Thank you so much for telling everyone about this, best experience I've had watching Sasuke in a long time!

Just a quick update: TVer has taken down SASUKE 40 and everything connected to it that was on there including the Trials and Profiles (those were the same as the ones on the SASUKE youtube channel) as the show has "expired" on the site. SASUKE 40 in the form it aired on TV and the all-run version are still on Paravi. As far as I can tell, those will always be there.
