All streaming of the events in Milan will be done by JDL Pinball at https://www.twitch.tv/jdl_pinball

They are starting this weekend for the Double Weekend Challenge pre-tournament. Then covering the Epstein Cup on Thursday, with coverage of qualifying for the main event beginning on Friday and through finals on Sunday.

I don’t know exactly when streams will begin but the events mostly start at 10am local time, so 4am EDT. With the exception being Epstein Cup which begins at 8pm local time.

After the events, the streams will be edited and saved to their Youtube channel at https://www.youtube.com/jdl_pinball

JDL Pinball does very good streaming. If you’re not familiar with the channel, check out the extensive archive collection, and be sure to subscribe. There’s a TON of good finals play. Lots of recent content from the numerous German tourneys.
