This is episode number eighty five of the Vainglory podcast, Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. I know update 1.15 just dropped a few days ago and I’m sure everyone is eager to hear me and my guest’s thoughts on it and how we’ve been playing. The 1.15 hype is going to have to wait for another episode because the Winter Championships are just around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! Building on that excitement for the Winter Championships happening at the Red Bull eSports Studio, I have Nemesis Hydra joining me. Hardek, LostBoyToph and Chicken123 all took some time away from getting prepared for the event to join me to talk about the start of Nemesis, the Autumn Finals, VGL and streaming. These are some of the top players in Vainglory and you can learn a lot just from hearing them talk about the game and watching them play. Plays are often calculated and planned out but there is still a little bit of luck that happens to come into play as well. 
 Let me know if you’re going to be at the Winter Championships. I’ll be there recording, taking photos and handing out Shatter The Vain stickers.
