Hello, and welcome to another episode of the FGC Philosophy podcast! Today, we have two exciting topics that we'll be discussing, so buckle up and get ready for an entertaining and informative episode.   "Hey, it's Tavian “The Philosopher” Napier, and as the assistant director of esports and arena at Western Michigan University, I've been lucky enough to turn my passion for gaming into a career. I organize and produce tournaments, I've competed in fighting game tournaments, and I've even tried my hand at commentary. Whether I'm behind the scenes or in the thick of the action, gaming is my love and my life, and I'm excited to share my experiences and insights with you on this podcast." First up, we'll be talking about the MHSEL tournament, which was hosted at the Western Michigan University Esports Arena. As someone who Produced the tournament, I'll be sharing my personal experience and insights into what makes this tournament so special. We'll discuss the structure of the tournament, the games that were played, the atmosphere at the arena, and much more. If you're a fan of esports or just curious about what happens at major tournaments, you won't want to miss this segment. Now, on to our second topic. Competitive fighting game players have been using a cracked beta to play the game, and I believe they should be banned. We'll explore what that means, the ethical issues surrounding the use of a cracked beta, the impact on the community, and whether or not it's fair to those who have paid for the game. We'll also look at the potential consequences for those who choose to use a cracked beta and the reasons why some players might feel justified in using it. This is a topic that's sure to generate some debate, so make sure to tune in and share your thoughts with us. TLDR, we have a great episode lined up for you today. Whether you're an esports fan, a fighting game enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys thought-provoking discussions, there's something here for you. So, sit back, relax, and let's dive into today's topics.     Links   Editor https://twitter.com/Chickenfredo_Yo   Support me on Patreon - HTTP://patreon.com/philocypher https://twitter.com/ThePhilocypherTwitter - @ThePhilocpher www.youtube.com/thephilocypher  FGC Philosophy Discord - https://discord.gg/KfDZBrM KZOO FGC Discord - https://discord.gg/7EsnZNr   For a free month of audible go to www.taviannapier.com/audible Books I'm Currently Listening to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by: JK Rowling The Art of Learning by: Josh Waitzkin Resources for learning SFV Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/ Gief's Gym Digital: http://bit.ly/giefsgym Gief's Gym Paperback: https://amzn.to/2LV7i6v

Competitive gaming tournaments have been around about as long as video games themselves. With the rise of professional esports in the 2000s, it was only a matter of time before esports made its way into universities. Now, colleges across the United States are embracing games and competition, offering their own programs. An esports scholarship might even help you get into a college that you may not have been accepted into otherwise. But esports still faces many challenges, particularly at the collegiate level.Listen to Gameplay: https://gameplay.coSign up to our free newsletter at https://thedefrag.com/ - or become a paid member and get an ad-free feed and bonus episodes.Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/rHb7JVHz42Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube.Advertisers:Command Line Heroes: https://link.chtbl.com/commandlineheroes_cyoa?sid=s9.podcast.thedefrag

Almost every college in America offering esports programs face the same challenges: thousands of dollars in equipment being damaged and stored, students developing toxic behaviors, streaming and broadcasting difficulties, and they struggle to attract good students.

Jeffrey Weiss is the Founder and Ringmaster of EsportCircus. For the last 20 years, Jeffrey has been one of the leading broadcast engineers in the United States.
