In this special edition of RLAfterShock, we're revisiting a topic from the start of last year. We're addressing the scene as we talk about everything that's been on the communities lips.

--Mailbag--

30:57 - Intro

31:21 - Velixo: Any chance you could elaborate on Esportsia? Saw Virtuoso mention being dodgy as well, can barely find anything about them other than they're endorsed by a bunch of orgs/companies, nevermind anything negative about them.

43:19 - Chewie: I know this is an NA question but just go with it. First killer made a comment about how he "just gotta survive one more season and make another upgrade," clearly saying he plans on kicking kro. Do you think this will cause another situation like Complexity where Flakes wanting to kick Greazy seemingly destroyed the team? And what effect do you think this could have on First's career as a whole?

51:19 - Juicy: €1 million bet on the discussion moving to how stupid the current 2/3rds system is

56:53 - Trox: What's your guys' take on Psyonix once again trying to adhere to the average American sports viewer with that kida interesting screening on ESPN2?
