It’s time to roll the dice again on another episode of Salty Runback! Hawk and Grapes discuss the success of Maryville University, discuss our favorites for the first NACLQ, and review the “beef” between LiT Esports and Wildcard Gaming. They then bring back an old favorite for the third straight split, Salt Street Bets, where they try and put their money where their mouth is when it comes to their takes on NACL and NACLQ.

This episode also includes our discussion about MorningStar White that was published on February 15th independently on our YouTube Channel.
