All roads lead to EVO.

TTT2: Knee's Tekken Afreeca Stream YouTube Channel

If you're a big fan of watching Knee play Tekken from his house through his afreeca stream, you'll be pleased to know that Knee has a YouTube channel and is now actively uploading archives of the streams onto it. In the YouTube channel, you can find a bunch of footage of Knee playing online against players from different regions so you'll actually find him playing against Japanese players sometimes such as Nobi, Yuttari Yuuki, Kuro Kuro and more. This is a big recommendation for a YouTube channel subscription if you use that feature on YouTube.
