The final four teams remain to slug it out this weekend for the MSI Title and to potentially earn their region an extra spot at the World Championships in the Fall. The full crew starts by recapping the Rumble stage and then dives into this weekends slate.
A lot of the conversation bleeds over and jumps all around so no time stamps for this one. Roughly 38:20 for the actual series talk.

Episode 101 - Playoffs and Technical Difficulties

The Gold Card Podcast finally has it's own Twitter handle! @GoldCardPodcast
We made it to Episode 100! Thanks you all of you that have listened throughout the years and here's to many more!
In a show plagued by technical difficulties, John, Josh, and Vince get some playoff opinions on the table for the final 3 and 4 in the four major leagues as well as some big picture discussion.
We apologize for the technical difficulties. For those that were watching the live stream they witnessed it in person but essentially what happened was for seemingly no reason whatsoever the recording software suddenly stopped picking up everyone besides Vince. After trying a few fixes and work arounds live on air we decided to just roll on with the podcast to finish out the last 15 or so minutes. It turns out that was corrupted too. I'll be trying to figure out what went wrong for next week but we didn't want to let this recording go to waste either given the time sensativity of the subject matter.

The show opens with some story time with John, a listener review, and then the gang dives head first into the playoff slates for this weekend across the globe.
I found some mistakes in the POTW spreadsheet that should be corrected now (I hope so...). Sorry if the numbers look all whacked out but I was missing a week and had ... it doesn't matter Vince screwed up but it's fixed now.
We had to kind of improvise a little on hypothetical matchups for the Friday-Sunday slates but we touch on everything.
