SPUNJ and moses are closing out three weeks in Austin, TX for the Major by Talking Counter.

This episode was recorded immediately after the conclusion of the Austin Major Grand Finals.

And finally after two years of trying we brought enough xlr cables (kinda, just barely) to get fl0m on the show.
