Jason Lake and Michael O`Dell are the best. I once met them in a bar in the outskirts of Kansas City, Kanasas. They were super cool and even bought my girlfriend a martini. We got talking about esports in general and came to the conclusion that it is good for the state of Kanasas.
Really cool guys.

I can't wait to tune in!
Super excited to learn the odd and ends.
|
Sounds like neat show, too bad it is on when I am at work.

I'm not sure how I feel about the show, but apparently people are interested. I'm not sure a show like this is the right way to reach out to 'next generation of business leaders'. Personally, I could care less with the business side of things because usually when it gets discussed its executives looking for sympathy or people acting nice to sell their stuff. Hopefully the show doesn't turn out to be something like, "look everyone, making a profit from e-sports is extremely hard so please buy HD passes, shirts, and tickets!".
Then again, that's just me being paranoid. The topics do look okay. Hopefully it's all positive stuff.

Damn, this looks absolutely awesome. Will definitely tune in.
|
Please make sure this is on the calendar and put up VODs.
|
sounds incredible!
I really dig these kind of shows, much like "Lo3" and "eSports production value", each covering different parts of the industry. excited!
|
Pretty interesting idea; and I like the logo.
|
Looks awesome! Can't wait to see what comes of this.

This show definitely won't be for everyone. Many fans are happy to watch the games and don't really care about the business side, and that's totally fine.
Over the years I've had hundreds of questions sent to me about these things so I figured there may be some people who are interested.

Wow, I can't believe I never thought about this before. Good idea! GL with it, I'll be tuning in for sure! ^_^

We'll definitely have VODs posted as quickly as possible. I know the time is odd for NA people who are in school or at work but thought the time would help us avoid other shows people enjoy and would give Euros a chance to watch a live show before 1 AM.
