Episode 74 - The calm before the storm
Recorded on: September 9th, 2020
The GCP welcomes on special guest Allen Heffelfinger (@LCSPicks) to recap the Summer playoffs in the LCK, LEC, and LCS, answer listener questions, and start looking ahead to the World Championships taking place in a couple of weeks.
This show was a lot less structured and more free-flowing than our normal shows since there weren't any matches this week but hopefully the looser feel works for people. If not let us know in a review!
It was great to finally get the chance to sit down and talk shop with Allen. Just like how I got started, Allen started a blog with his thoughts and picks that he still maintains here (LCSPicks.com). You can also find him at LineMovement.com

The Gold Card Podcast welcomes on special guest Mike @LeagueofItems ! Mike is a coach, analyst, player, and DFS player.
We open with a brief discussion of the MarkZ drama and Scout/Meiko testing free agency. From there the gang discusses the final week of LCK and playoffs in the LEC, LPL, and LCS. This was a pretty long episode but with a lot to talk about, everything from big picture metagames to coaching approach, we think it should give a very strong foundation for handicapping this weekends games, all of which we discuss!
It was a pleasure having Mike on for this show and you can find all of his content on Youtube, Twitch, and Twitter. All under LeagueOfItems
