Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition

We're all friends here, we can be candid.

　　Fighting Game events in Europe typically aren't as well attended nor watched as their North American counterparts. However, according to Twitch.tv's Ben Goldhaber DreamHack's Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition tournament may have been the most viewed European fighting game event of all time.

　　17k viewers for @DreamHack Energizer Street Fighter IV tournament. To my knowledge, this is the largest viewership in EU FGC history.
