Hello hello!! Welcome back to the podcast and welcome to episode 35! This Ep is mostly going over the most recent HCS 4K, what went down, Complexity making a huge run and Faze winning the tournament. We touch upon the cheating accusations that have been floating around for a while but surfaced post the 4K and also discuss scrims at a high level; what insight can you get from them and comparing how other Esports navigate scrims!

Our coffee beans this week come from Texas and more importantly from a dear friend of the podcast and SnakePit! GpDavix and Sarah sent us their favourite bag of beans, from summer moon, called Velvet Blaze! This is a medium roast. "A blend of beans spanning the globe. Roasted with a flavor as intense as the flame that birthed it, as rich as the soil it was grown in, and as smooth as the law will allow." Tasting Notes: Roasted Walnut, Blackberry, Milk Chocolate. Grinded with a Timemore grinder.
