I'm still stunned by the sort of people that come onto the show. @.@

One of the most underrated & underappreciated shows... Missing out if you don't come and watch some.

Thank you, BabyToss!
We're just about to go live now. Tonight we have David Ting on from the IPL. Should be an awesome show. Hope everyone tunes in!

This is a great discussion!

I normally catch the VODs. I remember when I was an applicant there was an episode that dealt with contracts in eSports, it's probably one of the best episodes ever since they had a real lawyer discuss the contract.
