Episode 25 - The Garvey Kool Aid
Recorded on: August 14th, 2019
The full cast discusses the final regular season weeks in the LPL, LCK, and LEC as well as NA Playoffs along with the typical digressions and a listener question! We spend a lot of time breaking down playoff scenarios in this which can get a little weird through audio but we try to simplify everything. I'd encourage you check out the playoff pictures on your own if you're a visual learner.

Episode 24 - Dinged On by JingDong
Recorded on: August 7th, 2019
Remember when JDG made Spring finals just months ago? Oh we remember but it all feels a bit like a fever dream at this point. Chris was out this week but Vince, John and Kalvin sat down for a marathon show discussing a couple listener questions (KEEP THEM COMING!), one of the last regular season weeks in some of the major regions, as well as the first round of North American playoffs. As usual we give our analysis and thought process about or selections and go through plenty of material (and a few digressions).

Episode 18 - Proper footwear and not reaching for the stars
Recorded on: June 26th, 2019
Injury Report: Kalvin T (ankle fracture)
Our first injury report of the podcast leaves us unfortunately lacking in spicy underdog selections as we look at a fairly chalky weekend with a couple interesting matchups in the LCK and LPL. We spend a big chunk of the show talking about Rift Rivals NA vs EU and the historical context of RR as well as relative strength historically between EU and NA. We also give a longer sign off with some pertinent life advice besides wearing the proper footwear to basketball.
I didn't tag all the digressions this week because I wanted to get this out to you all before Rift Rivals starts tomorrow!
