Episode 30 -  World Championships 2019 Play-In Recap and Main Event Group Stage

 

Recorded on: October 8th, 2019

 

Chris, John, Vince, and eventually Kalvin break down their takeaways from the Play-in stage including disappointments, surprises, and a lot of big picture philosophical concepts like not drawing conclusions from 4-6 individual games about an entire region and some other misconceptions. After that they break down the different complexions of all four groups and, of course, give their predictions on who gets to go on in the tournament and why. This was one of the longest episodes of TGCP but this is the World Championships!! You can feel the anticipation!
