TIME TO BRING THE HEAT

In every tournament, winning the favor of Shaq, Kayo and the live chat is crucial. Having your support system participate in the live streams can greatly enhance your chances! If Kayo or Shaq face difficulty in determining the winner, a LIVE POLL feature on YouTube will let the viewers in the live chat determine the victor.
