Currently, there are bets running on the streaming site Twitch.TV for an autobattler from Final Fantasy Tactics. Hundreds of people are constantly in the live stream placing their bets.
What kind of stream is this? The channel of FFTBattleground is automated and designed for viewers to place bets. Your bet is placed on one of the eight teams controlled by the computer. They all compete against each other in single-elimination tournaments in Final Fantasy Tactics. With your bet, you should predict which team will emerge as the winner of the tournament.
How does it work? Each viewer receives 1000G. As a subscriber, you even start with 2000G. A currency of fake money that only works for this stream. If you lose all your money, you fall back on a cushion of 100G or 200G for subscribers.
To start a tournament, you choose a team like Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, White, Black, Brown, or Purple and then use the “!bet” command in the chat.
The bot or the stream shows you when it’s time to place bets. After the betting time ends, the different teams fight on the map until only one stands. That team then faces the winning team from the last tournament to crown the true winner. After that, everything starts all over again.
The entry is not as easy as it seems. You have to first delve into the skills and items to understand which team actually has a chance of victory.
However, the stream proves to be popular. Over 600 people are currently watching at the same time, and there is active participation in the chat. Final Fantasy Tactics seems to have not yet caught on to the possible end of the auto-chess hype. Is another big hit like TwitchPlaysPokémon on the horizon?

With the fake money, you can input your name into the game, which might then be used for a unit. This includes gender, class, skills, and more. Skills are purchasable at the beginning of each round. A bot announces the skill drops, which you can take advantage of.
Those who bet successfully earn experience points as well. Every 5 levels, you automatically unlock skills.
Do you like this kind of interactive stream, or are you content just watching well-known figures play?
