The GGWP

It’s a Very Magical Episode #7, because, well, Mad Magical is back! In this one, the guys talk MSI’s opening matches and the state of Competitive Fortnite. The Overwatch League just wants to crack a cold one with the boys, and we all think Epic’s CEO is bluffing about platform exclusivity. Then we tackle the heavy topic of Riot’s forced arbitration clauses, before celebrating the Game Boy’s 30th birthday! Lastly, Avengers: Endgame smashed opening weekend Box Office records, Sony Pictures’ editor probably got fired, and we take some listener questions!
