In this episode I have the privilege of sitting down with two friends of mine whom I've had the honor of working alongside in the Vainglory North American Champions League! Cormac "Imperium" Wyatt and Maximillian "Maxman" Barraud are two eSports personalities/content creators on the rise who have had the chance to shoutcast community events such as the NACL as well as cast the World Electronic Sports Games tournament for Vainglory! We catch up on where they've been since the WESG tournament, as well as their thoughts on topics such as eSports culture in western countries! We talk about the battle royale genre. Has Fortnite peaked with the release of Apex Legends? Should we be concerned? What does this say for other games as well in other genres? (Vainglory, League of Legends, etc.?) Has cross platform gaming helped merge and increase a games overall presence in the market? Are the keyboard and mouse mightier than the controller? Are controllers superior to touch pad controls? With the innovation in gaming as well as technology, how do we tackle issues like harassment and other forms of toxicity? All this and more!
