Now Playing:

Dylan dives into World of Warcraft: Legion to get ready for the next expansion, Battle for Azeroth. He dishes on the allied races, and what he is most looking forward to in WoW's 7th expansion. Both Ryan and Dylan have been bit by the Fortnite: Battle Royale bug, and wonder if the FFA Arena is a new mode that everyone can enjoy or a niche experiment in the evolution of the shooter.

News:

Last episode we completely slipped up and forgot to mention the biggest news for the Nintendo Switch: Super Smash Brothers. Following the release of a trailer featuring the Splatoon kids and shadows of familiar faces and a Breath of the Wild style Link, we wonder if this is going to be the game that bridges the Fighting Game Community and the rest of the eSports world. Ultimately, we think it comes down to one question: Is this going to be a new Smash Brothers game, or a port of the Wii U game with a couple more characters thrown into the mix.

Competitive Corner:

Esports wouldn't exsist without Starcraft, so in honor of it's twenty anniversary, Dylan tells the tale of the best summer he had playing custom games with friends in a hellish Oklahoma Summer, and Ryan breaks down the time he was searched for 2 hours by TSA because the Overmind said "Nuclear Launch Detected" through his phone while going through airport security. To hear other tales of the granddaddy of all esports, look for the #sc20 hashtag.

The NALCS is chugging along, but this time they are missing some familiar faces, while new ones grace the scene. Dylan breaks down Clutch Gaming's rise to the upper echelon of League of Legends.

Meanwhile, Overwatch League is getting some serious shake up's with the climb of the Philadelphia Fusion into the Stage 2 finals against the New York Excelsior. While they didn't win, it is really cool to see how even after only 10 weeks of play there can be some shake ups to the foundations of the league. Next week the meta will shift yet again with the newest hero, Brigette entering the fray, so be sure to tune in next Wednesday.

Now Playing:

Dylan breaks down free-to-play brawler Battlerite, which shakes up the MOBA format by making it all about arena style combat instead of objective based gameplay. Ryan finally get's his hands on first-person puzzler Superhot, which has been scratching his itch for high level concepts with stunning execution.

News:

Dylan is excited about the new Hearthstone expansion: The Witchwood, featuring some cool new keywords and the shuffling of some classic cards back to their pre-nerfed states. Meanwhile, EA is updating Star Wars Battlefront 2 to remove all Star Cards in favor of a linear progression system and cosmetic upgrades. Finally, not even we can escape the cultural juggernaut that is Fortnite.

Competitive Corner:

We are starting a sub-segment in competitive corner: Games of the Week! Dylan breaks down TSM vs Cloud 9 face off in League of Legends, while Ryan is in awe that the last place Shanghai Dragons took a map off Seoul Dynasty in the Overwatch League.

Over the past week thanks to the 20th Anniversary of Starcraft, we got to see a campaign Achievement Hunt through all three Starcraft II campaigns. What is the strategy that goes into an achievement race? Do you start on the hardest difficulty, or clear out individual maps first?

Now Playing:

Dylan keeps going back to Horizon Zero Dawn, drawn in by it's gorgeous open world and great narrative design. Meanwhile, Ryan dives into the tactical PC indie Into The Breach thanks to it's sharp design and addictive gameplay.

News:

The ESRB is doing the absolute bare minimum when it comes to the loot box controversy, stipulating that they will add a label to games that have additional purchases available to players beyond the initial purchase of the game. Spoilers: The is pretty much every game being made. The language doesn't differentiate between loot boxes, expansion content or unlocks, making this the smallest of steps the ESRB could take. There is also talk of a potential remaster of Warcraft 3 on the horizon, thanks to a new developer sponsored tournament coming up for the 16 year old game.

Competitive Corner:

Dylan breaks down more League of Legends meta shifts while Ryan talks Stage 2 of Overwatch League. On the developer side of things, Blizzard announced Brigitte, a new support healer that is going to shake up the meta in Stage 3 for sure.
