The GGWP

Welcome back, GGWP-ers! Chase is back this week, and the guys break down everything that happened in the Worlds Play-Ins! Also, we discuss which Group is an anime, which songs are better than ‘Phoenix’, and ranking our favorites through the years.

After the break, Magical and Pira engage their inner trekkies on and get hyped for Picard, but Chase aint got time for that - UNLESS there’s more doggos. The Joker movie is out, but its director has a pretty bad take on comedy - we discuss. Magical takes us back to Japan with Demon Slayer, and Chase closes us out on a meta note with SuperHyperLiteral.

Lastly, we’re going on hiatus for a few weeks, so see you back the week of Halloween!

What’s up, GGWP-ers! It’s WORLDS, so Pira and Magical (Chase is sadly out sick) talk key play-ins matchups, and Pira muses on Riot’s conspiracy to make Orianna strong for Worlds every year. Also, Louis Vuitton is making a trophy case, but WHERE IS THE WORLDS SONG? Lastly, several teams in NA and EU are getting a brand takeover or makeover, and Evil Geniuses’ master takeover plan comes to fruition. After the break, we go over the OWL Season 2 finals, and why the hype wasn’t really there. Lastly, TFT is going competitive, and MTG Arena officially launches! All that and more on this week’s GGWP!

Hey there GGWP-ers! For the first time ever, we have a guest! Dom Roemer, former Riot caster and RPG enthusiast joins to have us roll for initiative before hyping up the newest DND Module released by Wizards of the Coast. We discuss OWL finals and how Magical is Big Brain. Chase has concerns about a few things, and  maybe a new nickname. We’re all excited for the new VENN Gaming network to launch in 2020, but not as much as we are about Ash Ketchum finally winning a Pokemon League title! All that and more, on episode 23!

Welcome back GGWP-ers! Worlds is on the horizon, so the lads get together to discuss the teams that have qualified so far. Then we discuss Papasmithy leaving the LCK broadcast for 100 Thieves, and Pira/Magical discuss the state of professional shoutcasting in esports (it gets serious, for a change). That, in turn becomes a discussion on working in esports in general, and Chase loses his sh*t over yet another EPIC fail. He then proceeds to defend the rats accused of spreading the Bubonic Plague through medieval Europe.

After the break, we talk new Smash DLC characters, the launch of River City Girls! Chase makes a plea to the listeners to find him an obscure film, before we launch into a discussion of satire and the new Jojo Rabbit trailer. Finally, it all ends in flames as Magical reviews Fire Force on Weebtalk!

BY CROM, This is a mighty episode, GGWP-ers! In our extra-length 21st, the guys are drinking (legally), and it gets pretty loose pretty fast. Magical talks like a pirate, and Chase and Pira Instigate a Lord Bet for Fnatic vs S04. Then we get into the OWL playoffs, and Chase rants about Blizzard breaking their own map-replay rules. Then we talk about the rise of Avangar at the Berlin Major.

After the break, everyone reminisces about their childhood sports experience (or lack thereof), and go back further in time to talk about the recently discovered lost Doctor Who episodes. Alex Trebek is back on Jeapodry, and Guillermo del Toro is helping to make a Werewolf Western film. Finally, everybody gets a segment! Weebtalk, Pira’s Comic Picks, and Chase’s Corner round out our big 21st!

Wow! 20 episodes in the bag - Thanks to all of you for listening! On this week’s show, the guys break down LoL playoffs on 3 continents. Magical compares TL to the Green Bay Packers, Pira REALLY hates Top Karma, and Chase’s faith is Larssen is rewarded. Also, Magical might actually be a time-traveller. TI had it’s first-ever 2x champion, but the hype and buildup was missing for some of us, and Starladder’s been shutting down third-party streams of the Berlin Major. After the break, Chase tells us why he loves Reigns, and we all discuss the smorgasboard of announcements for Disney+ at D23 this past week. Cheers!

WOW, what a meaty episode! This week, it’s just Chase and Pira (as Magical is out for vacation), but there’s a ton to talk about! First up, the continuing story of TSM and their precarious Jungle situation - including how Chase’s Unikrn is involved! We also preview the LCS finals, LEC playoffs, and Chase has a response for people who think G2 trolling and winning shouldn’t be allowed. Then we take a look at TI9 and get hyped for the CS:GO Berlin Major!

After the break, Chase manages to smuggle some Kpop onto *this* podcast (even though he has a perfectly good on (that is also our sister show), and Pira makes a wrong historical reference (gasps!) Then, Disney Plus’ rollout is marred by some controversial “anti-piracy” measures, and WAIT! our Spider-Senses are tingling, what could be wrong???

The LCS Playoffs are here! TSM benches Akaadian and get creamed by Clutch, we discuss. Then, we talk about the superior LoL region, and why Splyce is a solid contender for second seed. Twitch advertises porn to Ninja’s followers, and Epic Games screw up so frequently that we’ve made a regular segment about it. In other fails news, Valve decided to wait until we finished recording to release the TI9 groups. Magical sings the Soviet Theme Song (Spoiler alert: it’s Tetris). 

After the break, we all regret reading the Silmarillion in school, and Chase can neither confirm nor deny being paid by Lindsay Ellis to promote her youtube channel. MoviePass pulls a stunt that the Justice Department calls “Certainly unethical, and could be illegal”, and the gang declares its proud support of Team Momo in the Marbleympics (only on ESPN8, The Ocho)

Along the way, there’s plenty of detours down memory lane. Also, Nintendo is trying to keep Pokemon fresh, but all anybody wants is the National Dex back. Pira missed National Spider-Man day so he’s REALLY trying to make up for it, and Magical is practicing his death metal vocals for Aggretsuko Season 3!
