The Dive | Driven by Kia - A League of Legends Esports Podcast

This week, we’ve got a packed episode. First up: Uzi has been announced as the next Hall of Legends inductee! It’s stirred up some debate in the community—but not among the squad.

We also dive into our Kia All-Pro picks, with ballots going out this week, and get into predictions for the start of Playoffs this weekend. Who’s got the best shot to go the distance? Could there be a dark horse?

And yes, the bets are back! The crew locks in their playoff predictions, and the losers will be eating hot peppers once it’s all said and done. Don’t miss it!
