Shatter The Vain

This is episode one hundred and thirty-five of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. I hope everyone has been having a great holiday and has been getting some good games of Vainglory in with the time off. Since it’s the holidays it’s a little light in the news coming from Super Evil Megacorp and I don’t think we’ll see much about 2.1 or what’s happening with Evil8 until after the New Year. On this weeks episode I have a couple of guys that are working on a new Vainglory league; EZL. I have Maple and TheOldEagle on the show to give me the low down on what EZL is, how you can get involved and when it’s getting started. This is a really exciting and unique opportunity for people who want to get into the competitive Vainglory scene. Be sure to follow these guys on Twitter as well on the Official EZL account and be sure to join the discord if you’re interested. Before we wrap things up we talk about how Vainglory update 2.0 has been treating everyone and if there has been any big surprises. If you’re typically an audio listener to the podcast, be sure to check out the video version on the Shatter The Vain YouTube channel. I’ve also had a few requests on ways to support the podcast and the best option is on Patreon. I’d love the opportunity to do more episodes like this in the future along with the usual episodes you’ve come to love.

This is episode one hundred and thirty-three of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. There were some big announcements for Vainglory over the last couple of days and it’s a pretty exciting time for the game and the community. Vainglory 2.0 will be released on December 14th, 2017 and with it comes a new hero, new items and a handful of balance changes. Also coming soon will be the new API, that’s going to be a huge change moving forward. Joining me to talk about these new updates and their amazing project are a couple of the guys from VG Miner; Nullpoint3r and Pro2col. These guys have really put together something special here with VG Miner and the new API that Super Evil Megacorp will be releasing is going to be massive.   All that and more on episode 133 of Shatter The Vain!

This is episode one hundred and thirty-two of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. I wasn’t out in Hollywood for Vainglory Worlds but it was still pretty exciting to watch the stream on Twitch and see all the updates from community members. There were so many people who have been on this podcast that were out for this event. And there were also a ton of people watching from home that love and support the game. One of those people watching from home was Jeff from Halcyon Masters and I grabbed him to join me on this weeks episode. If you haven’t visited the Halcyon Masters YouTube page and watched the Heroic Ties videos, you need to go do that now.    On episode 132, the two of us chat about Vainglory Worlds without giving away any spoilers and we dive into some of the changes that will be coming for update 2.0 in the next couple weeks.

This is episode one hundred and thirty one of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. This episode is extra special because it marks two years of Shatter The Vain!  Vainglory Worlds is now just days away and it’s going to be an exciting week for anyone who is a fan of eSports. I know I’ll be watching when I can since I won’t be able to attend it myself. Vainglory is on the cusp of a really exciting milestone as update 2.0 is about to get released and with it will be coming a number of changes… most have yet to be revealed. Joining me to talk about Worlds, Update 2.0 and what’s been happening with Vertigo is Odds. Odds was on episode 69 a few months ago and a lot has changed with him in the world of Vainglory as he’s now the co-leader of Vertigo.  All that and more on episode 131 of Shatter The Vain!

This is episode one hundred and thirty of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. This episode is extra special because it marks two years of Shatter The Vain!  It’s hard to imagine that I’ve been doing this podcast for two years now since where it started with episode one seems like a distance dream. I’ve been able to have some great conversations about the game, esports and mobile gaming with some fantastic friends and fans. There are a number of people who have been on the podcast often and a few like this weeks guest that I wish I could have on even more. This week I’m joined by wolf hands, who is the NA / EN community manager at Super Evil Megacorp and someone who I’ve had the pleasure of knowing since most of my time playing Vainglory. The two of us talk about Vainglory Worlds, all the great contests that are running at the moment and what we can expect from the content creators program.  All that and more on episode 130 of Shatter The Vain!  If you’re looking for more ways to support the show, besides just listening then check out Shatter The Vain on Patreon.

This is the one hundred and twenty ninth episode of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. This past week Super Evil Megacorp released update 1.24 and with it came a new hero, the replay system and a handful of balance changes. This is the update that the professional players will be playing on during Vainglory Worlds which takes place December 2nd-4th. There are interesting changes this time around and Flicker adds an entire new dynamic to the Halcyon Fold. Joining me to go over these changes and get his opinion on what we might be seeing played at Worlds is GankStars co-owner FooJee. FooJee has also been one of the analysts behind the desk during Evil 8 and brings some great insight into what’s popular with the high tier players.  All that and more on episode 128 of Shatter The Vain!  If you’re looking for more ways to support the show, besides just listening then check out Shatter The Vain on Patreon.

This is the one hundred and twenty seventh episode of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. We got a ton of news from Super Evil Megacorp this past week and even news about 1.24 that will be released on Wednesday, November 9th. Joining me on this episode to go over all this is fellow GankStars member SaffireSkye. The two of us chat about her role at GankStars and what it means to be a community manager. After that we dive into Flicker, the new replay tool and all the skins that should be available in update 1.24. Finally, I can’t have a GankStars member on without talking about their recent Evil 8 wins that secured them a spot in Vainglory Worlds on December 2nd-4th. With the upcoming two year celebration of Shatter The Vain and the release of the new hero Flicker, I’m giving away 900 ICE to two people so they can unlock this magical new creature headed to the Halcyon Fold. https://gleam.io/y68sd/900-ice-for-flicker All that and more on episode 128 of Shatter The Vain!

This is the one hundred and twenty seventh episode of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. This was a pretty fun week of reveals from Super Evil Megacorp. On the Vainglory twitter we got a new hero tease, a sneak peek at the new replay tool as well as new special edition skins that should be coming in update 1.24. Joining me to talk about all this and Mobcrush is PixieMethod. PixieMethod has been playing Vainglory since before the NA Launch and has been streaming on Mobcrush for awhile as well. There are often a lot of ideas and thoughts tossed around about Mobcrush from users who don’t use the platform, so it was nice to talk with someone who loves Mobcrush as much as they love Vainglory.  The two of us also dive a bit into the solo queue experience and if it’s something that Super Evil Megacorp can truly fix. I solo queue very often and have a love / hate relationship with the system, but I think that’s just a general factor of MOBAs. You’ll never have a perfect experience with solo queue and I personally don’t envy anyone who tries to fix this and make the player base happy.  All that and more on episode 127 of Shatter The Vain!

This is the one hundred and twenty sixth episode of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp. There hasn’t been much news from Super Evil Megacorp this week, I really thought we were going to get a new hero reveal this past week but I’ll have to keep wishing. Still this week wasn’t all quiet. This past weekend the Evil8 started back up with week two of the split and I know a lot of teams are trying hard to get a spot in the Vainglory Worlds in December. Just because the news is light doesn’t mean there isn’t always something to talk about in relation to Vainglory.    I was a bit curious to see how Ardent was doing and I was lucky enough to grab NickyTsunami and The Things She Plays to join me on episode 126. The three of us dive into Ardent Aurora, the new leadership and Pete The Noob’s venture into Paladins. We also talk about Battle Royale and what could be coming next from Super Super Evil Megacorp.
