Nothing is killing eSports. Really wish people would start dropping that shit. It's old and moldy. It's funny that you guys are going to have SirScoots on to talk about it. Anyway, good luck with this. Too many pod casts to keep up with like tournaments these days.

I agree that the 'killing eSports' thing is a bit overdone.. same with flipping tables and all that stuff.. I guess it is just part of gaming. I do not really get rapped up into it.. but I think in this case with Scoots and Huk it's an issue that very much needs to be looked at and explained. A lot of what is happening with these player contracts will have a direct impact on how SC2 and other games evolve or remain sustainable. I am very curious to see his thoughts on 'where we go from now', more then anything.

I also agree.. a lot of tournaments.. but in the end.. quality will win out over quantity!

i want to know how scoots views the scene in Korea developing versus the scene in the west. it seems like eg is putting a lot of focus on putting people in korea with the addition of huk and puma, but they still have there house in arizona.

Nice show, despite the forgivable technologically challenged conclusion. I heard Rachel state that there will be a show whenever there is an event worthy of one. In more practical terms, will that translate to 1 show per month on average? Or will it simply fluctuate with the tournament seasons as they come and go?

Personally, I would like to see the show on a regular basis to create a loyal fan base.. and that may be where it's headed, but as we work out the technical issues and make sure to provide the highest quality it may be on a more 'as needed' basis until then.

Rachel is very good at what she does, but I know she recognizes the importance of quality over quantity and until the quality of each show can be at it's highest.. you probably won't see the show on a daily or weekly basis.

Are there suggestions for another topic and guest that needs to be addressed?

You are welcome to leave those suggestions here.

Thank you all for the support.

Is this a good sign for competitive gaming or is player-trading killing eSports? Scott “SirScoots” Smith joins us to discuss.

Gee, I wonder what the conclusion of that topic will be. -_-

I enjoyed the show. The format of revolving itself around the guest was a good choice, in that it differentiated itself from other shows that mainly focus on roundtable discussions.

I'd like to see HuK as a guest to talk about his EG decision and his insane August travel schedule. Naniwa or Thorzain would be good guests to have once they leave Korea to maybe reflect on their experiences. Maybe after this MLG, since its been hinted that 2012 news will break this weekend, have Sundance, Lee, or Adam talk about MLG's future plans for 2012. Someone from IGN perhaps to talk about the success of IPL and the upcoming IPL 3 live event.

Also it would be nice to have an audio version of future episodes.
