Hello hello!! Welcome back to the podcast and welcome to episode 35! This Ep is mostly going over the most recent HCS 4K, what went down, Complexity making a huge run and Faze winning the tournament. We touch upon the cheating accusations that have been floating around for a while but surfaced post the 4K and also discuss scrims at a high level; what insight can you get from them and comparing how other Esports navigate scrims! Hope you enjoy and as always, thank you!

Our coffee beans this week come from Texas and more importantly from a dear friend of the podcast and SnakePit! GpDavix and Sarah sent us their favourite bag of beans, from summer moon, called Velvet Blaze! This is a medium roast. "A blend of beans spanning the globe. Roasted with a flavor as intense as the flame that birthed it, as rich as the soil it was grown in, and as smooth as the law will allow." Tasting Notes: Roasted Walnut, Blackberry, Milk Chocolate. Grinded with a Timemore grinder.
