For Cody James his daily driver Cobalt SS turned street/strip beast was built 100% at home out of boredom and to prove to his friends it could be done well and on a budget. The sticker on the side of his car is not only a metaphorical disclaimer but in every sense of the meaning, absolutely true. The car was built on blocks in a three car garage and is the only RWD Cobalt that still retains the unibody platform.

Texas EDC: Gone to Texas Podcast Show Notes & Social PostsEpisode #4 Michael Rufail, Founder & Chief Gaming Officer, Envy GamingIf you don't know much about esports yet, you will soon. But first know that since 2017, the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has been home to Envy Gaming, one of the world's most valuable professional gaming organizations. The company made headlines last year for bringing on music megastar and fellow Texans native Post Malone as a co-owner. Founded by Texan Michael Rufail in 2007, Envy Gaming is a sports entertainment company that operates teams in multiple leagues and is best known for its highly successful Dallas Empire team in the Call of Duty league and Dallas Fuel in the Overwatch League.In this episode, learn about how Rufail grew up as a son of Egyptian immigrants in Lufkin, moved away as a young adult, and then felt the call back home in 2017 when he ultimately relocated his company here from Charlotte, North Carolina. You'll also learn more about how esports compares to other professional sports organizations, the company's plans for 2021 and onward, and of course, how the stars aligned to attract Malone to the fold.“He's just an interesting DFW guy. An awesome guy. Just really, really, really nice and cares about this metroplex, which is really cool,” Rufail says of Malone. “He's worked really hard to get where he is and I felt like he embodied a little bit of just not only DFW spirit but also the mentality that we like to take on in every aspect, which is just ‘Work really hard for what you get'.” Rufail explores that Texas spirit further, breaking it down into the many factors that led him and his company home, including savings from a favorable tax structure, a safe environment for raising a family, an overall lower cost of living, and how all of that translates into happier residents who are able to reinvest that money and energy into one another. “It's just a great place to be able to thrive. It's a place where you have opportunity to really thrive,” Rufail says. “ … People are just a little bit more capable here to do the things that matter in life, in my opinion. So I find it just a little bit more pleasant to live here. Obviously, the economic incentives are great, because you can grow a business and apply more of your earnings to the things that matter -- your family.” Special thanks to our sponsor for this episode the Melissa Industrial & Economic Development Corporation in Melissa, Texas.

Gibt es in FIFA ein Momentum? Dieser Frage geht Hauke mit Philipp „Eisvogel“ Schermer (ehemals Schalke 04 und EnVyUs) nach. Doch eigentlich geht es um die Geschichte des Gamers. In FIFA 18 noch Superstar, inzwischen ohne Team. Das ist die aktuelle Story des jungen Münchners. Mehr zum Thema Esports auf esports.com und auf unseren Socialkanälen.

On today’s episode of the Rough Drafts Podcast, Chase “RedShirtKing” Wassenar and Walter “Ceades” Fedczuk take a look at the upcoming NA LCS Regional Finals. They begin by discussing how CLG can take steps forward to prepare themselves for Worlds, how TSM cemented their status as the most dominant team in the region, and how both Cloud9 and Immortals showed improvement since their previous Semifinals series. They then guess the line for an EnVyUs v. Team Liquid series that is the league equivalent of a train wreck before making their final prediction on who will be the third representative from NA at Worlds.

Today on the Rough Drafts Guess the Lines Podcast, Chase “RedShirtKing” Wassenar and Walter “Ceades” Fedczuk try to find some hope in two of the most lopsided Semifinals series on paper that North America has ever produced.

Rob and Andrew dive into a week of championships. Did KOO Tigers let an opportunity slip through their fingers? Envyus firmly ensconce themselves at the top of CSGO at DreamHack, while Heart of the Swarm StarCraft ends with some whimpers at BlizzCon opening week.
Cloud9 pour fuel on the flames of their Heroes of the Storm rivalry with Tempo Storm at the Heroes World Championship America Final in Las Vegas, and Rob and Andrew debate whether team drafts or in-game play determine victories. EnVyUs defeats Team SoloMid again in Counter-Strike at DreamHack: London, and Rob marvels at how every lucky break seemed to go Envy's way.
