Esports Connect by ReKTGlobal

Frank (@FFMirhi), Taylor (@taylorcocke), and Kevin (@KevinKnocke) talk about OWL season 1 after the world finals last weekend, whether the International is bad for Dota or not, and the good and bad of the Fortnite Summer Skirmish Series. Then, DrLupo (@DrLupoOnTwitch) joins for an in-depth discussion on the state of Fortnite, how competitive play should evolve, and what needs to be added to ensure the long term success of the game. Let us know what you think of the show and send us in questions to @KevinKnocke on Twitter, or you can even send us audio questions to esportsconnect@rektglobal.com

Special episode this week! Frank (@FFMirhi) and Kevin (@KevinKnocke) are joined by Kahlief Adams (@Kahjahkins) for a discussion about how competitive games are permeating general gaming pop culture and how those with a platform in gaming and esports can use it to invite discussions around marginalized voices and social issues and push back on the more extreme rhetoric we hear all the time in the industry.
