This week on the podcast we have the iconic Hayden Dale on with us. We talk about his whirlwind year playing high level Flesh and Blood, we take a look at Dynasty’s impact of the format, talk some Blitz Showdown and I think we put a final pin on one of the more dramatic sagas of 2022.

There was a plan for this episode, and then Max started firing on all cylinders and we rolled with it having an amazing in depth conversation on what it means to be a great fab player and how to get there. We tossed the show notes for this one and ran with it for as long as we could before we lost our connection to him. Max Thomas is one of the most gifted minds in the game and this is just a taste of what he brings to the table. Sit back and take the ride with us down how a truly competitive player breaks down FAB concepts.

Ethan Van Sant is ready to conquer the streaming world between Talishar, the new Clash tournament getting started and of course, Battle Hardened Philly. On his whirlwind tour around the world for Flesh and Blood we managed to grab the head of The League of Levia and talk with him about playing the blood debt killer Queen, his victory over Pablo Pintor, what to expect for the Clash and even checked in on his luggage this time around (Spoiler alert: it made it back!) that and much much more this week on The Combat Chain!
