  • The Chat Wheel - Episode 15 ft. TheCapitalist & Monolith: Two Real American Heroes
    Welcome ladies and gentlemen once again to the Chat Wheel! It's been a few weeks; did you miss us? We missed us. We apologize for the delay in getting the show out. We decided to skip the week before MLG to let WhatIsHip have some time to prepare himself; if you haven't seen his interviews for GGnet, go check them out immediately! But now we're back in action, and do we have a hell of a show for you.
    This week we're excited to share with you guys a special double feature: TheCapitalist and Monolith! We pick Monolith's brain on Speed Gaming and their MLG win along with the most recent developments in the Marco story because we wanted our turn to beat the horse. He also gives us his insight on MLG as a whole, his thoughts on Dreamhack, and what some teams need to do to get back into the swing of 6.79.
    We've also got TheCapitalist with us to share his exciting news of moving to Berlin to work with joinDota! He joined us with less than 24 hours before the big move and talks about what we can expect from joinDota in the near future following the recent additions to the staff, as well as hinting at another exciting announcement to come in the next few weeks.

  • The Chat Wheel - Episode 14 ft. Heliumbrella: We're All Just a Bunch of Airheads
    Happy Hump Day everyone and welcome to another exciting week of the Chat Wheel! We're really excited to share our time this week with the one and only Heliumbrella of CEVO and NEODota casting fame. He joins us and talks about his rise to the (somewhere slightly below) top and his love for what he does.
    We've got quite a bit to talk about this week because our Dear Lord GabeN has delivered, and DIRETIDE HAS BEEN GIVEN! *fanfare of trumpets* We talk about the the newest Valve blog post and how WhatIsHip was wrong, again. And Dariath was right, again. (That's the more confusing one.) We continue to keep up with the giant mess of a scene that is NA Dota and the collapse of Team Dignitas as well as the GMPGL, G-League Qualifiers, and Crystal Maiden's new sexy mustache.

  • The Chat Wheel - Episode 13 ft. Pandaego: Good Work Everyone, Let's Take Five
    Hello Dota fans and welcome to another exciting week of the Chat Wheel! This week, we talk to none other than Pandaego, one of the winners of Season 1 of the NEL and a former member of Take Five before they, in his words, crashed and burned. Pandaego was also a member of Typical Mistakes (now Pretty Boy Swag), a team that one both tournaments sponsored by WhatIsHip.TV.
    This week, we ask Pandaego what he did with all the money we handed to him. We also get insight into his career as a Dota player, his time with Typical Mistakes and Take Five, and his plans for the future. Dariath cries and sharpens his pitch fork about Diretide, Weh feels bad about his lack of hats, and Greg as always "doesn't wanna talk about this stupid topic."

This week, he takes us on a walk through the MLG offices in New York as he searches for the famed Golden Toilet. Oh, and Bdiz shows up too! Sorry for making him retire and all.
    We also ramble on about the new Shagbark HUD, the Spirit Brothers, Midas Gaming, and how much everyone loves Spitwad.

  • The Chat Wheel - Episode 9: The Storm Before the Storm
    Welcome once again one and all to another week of the Chat Wheel! This week, we're talking about what everyone else is talking about: hats! Just kidding, it's LGD.int. We give our take of the brewing storm, Dariath sharpens his pitchfork, and Weh tries to extinguish the torches. Aside from all of that, we talk about the exciting First Blood! update as well as the roster changes in North America and the exciting news coming from MLG and MLG Columbus. We'd like to thank all you guys for sticking with us so far, and we apologize for the lack of an episode last week; Weh was visiting our beautiful nation's capitol and was busy secretly meeting with the President. We also have yet another installment in the fantastic Dariath vs. WhatIsHip war over who is and is not a shit-tier hero. It's a war that will never, ever end. Ever.

Zyori's been around eSports for quite some time and is looking to find himself a new home in the Dota scene, and we're damn happy to have him.
    This week, we continue talking about the new rosters that have been finalized as well as revisiting some previous predictions to see how they've turned out. We also chat about the WePlay courier and HUD, the general cost of tournament tickets, and the ongoing problem of teams' conflicting schedules.

  • The Chat Wheel - Episode 7: Fast Times at NA DotA High
    Hello everyone and welcome to another week of the Chat Wheel! This week, we're talking about the controversy on everyone's minds: The Premier League. We give our take on the matter and try to wade through all the crap that's been thrown around.
    We also talk quite a bit about new NA DotA leagues, mainly focusing on MLG. We're really excited to see NA DotA get some love, and we've got Nika 'CruelGGs' with us to shed some light on the players and teams that we see competing.
    We want to give a big "thank you" to everyone who's supported us so far, especially those of you who reached out to us about graphic design. We're excited to say that we're going to be moving to video format within the next couple weeks, which means a livestreamed show and a more regular episode schedule (God help us). But don't worry; we'll keep uploading audio versions as well.
