Fun & Interactive: A TESL Podcast

For this episode, Justin and I are joined by Aphelion. Aphelion is the owner and founder of Team Rankstar, an organization that competes in several digital card games. We talk about how the team was formed, as well as what to expect in the future. Aphelion was having some microphone problems, so I apologize for the audio quality of this episode. It was the best we could get it before going live.

This week, Justin and I are joined by Masters Series semifinalist TDCJason. We talk about Jason's experiences during the qualifiers, having to play extra games to get in on points, and his performance at the finals. We also get to see his Ant-Man helmet, which is basically the best part of the show.

Justin and I have returned from the Masters Series Finals, and we are ready to talk about the experience. We are joined by Will (plzdonhakme), the Masters Series Champion himself! Will talks about what it was like to meet everyone, what it's like preparing for that kind of event, and what his plans are for the future. We also get a special appearance by Will's dad.

Justin and I are almost finished moving, so we wanted to squeeze in a podcast while we had the time. In this episode, we were joined by Sophie who streams Legends on Twitch. You can find her at https://www.twitch.tv/eolistv. We briefly discuss the Masters Series, our time casting, the recent balance patch, and more. With so many interesting topics having popped up, it was hard to take a deep dive into any one subject. There were also some technical difficulties for this broadcast, but that's largely due to me still having to get things in order after moving into the new home. As such, you may notice that my microphone was much louder than others. That should be corrected in the future. Finally, I wanted to note that we are taking a break again next week as we will be casting the Masters Series Finals at QuakeCon. We should return to our normal schedule once the series concludes.

The podcast is going on a small hiatus. Don't worry, we'll be back. This just explains what is going on in the near future.

This week, Justin and CHARM3R talk about the changes to Twitch drops and the announcement of the Masters Series. The Masters Series contains several small qualifying tournaments, which will lead up to a championship event at QuakeCon with a $50,000 prize pool.

This week, Justin and CHARM3R decided to stream alongside the Bethesda Showcase at E3. This means that you can hear the audio from the showcase itself, as well as the crew's reactions to the announcements.

I just wanted to say that I know this particular show isn't suited well for the audio format, and for that I am sorry. E3 is a once-a-year event and we wanted to do something a bit different. The problem is that this experience is best with visuals, and watching it live certainly doesn't hurt either. We'll get back to the normal format next week.

Back after an extended break, Justin and CHARM3R talk about the big news revealed while they were visiting Bethesda HQ. Ianbits joins the cast to talk about the trip, and the change in developers.

I've been getting some questions about when the next podcast is going to happen, so I wanted to provide a timeline along with some updates.

This week, Justin and I talk about the Grand Melee event. We also talk about Justin's bias toward aggressive decks, and what he's learned after playing them for a week.
