Hammer and some discussion about the incoming changes to stealthies, this episode has some great discussion topics.  Sit back and enjoy!  If you’re listening to the audio version, stay tuned after the credits to listen to a special segment we did with the GankBush Squad, “The Nexus Feud”.  You can watch this segment as well over on YouTube.

The show gets a lot smarter today as we’re joined by special guest RomedyMC, a third year grad student in clinical psychology, who conducts research on the applications of “traditional” sports psychology to the emerging eSports scene.  Fittingly, we talk to Romedy about roster swapping, team dynamics and how you can apply some basic psychology theory to your hero and team league play to improve your game.  We also cover the recent PTR patch (of at least the first half of it!) and we hold the ninth edition of our HotS debate!  Enjoy the show!

A special episode from Con Before the Storm and World of Podcasts, an event that took place the day before BlizzCon.  Our very own LiQiuD took part on the panel, along with various other podcast personalities from Heroes of the Storm.  Moderated by Scott Johnson from the CORE podcast.  A great listen!

The Trolls are all in Anaheim for BlizzCon 2017!  Hear what LiQiuD, Bahgz, Mystic and Daz have to say about the apex of the year for Blizzard fans, including our thoughts on the patch notes (yes, we were surprised too) that dropped today.  It’s a great show, so sit back and enjoy!

NOTE: The show was filmed in a hotel room with sub-optimal lighting conditions with a single microphone, so the audio and video quality for this show is not quite up to our usual standards, but it’s all about the content, riht?
