Cap, Quinn, and Insania break down the Dota match fixing scandal that allegedly ends with someone getting punched in an internet café, and then dig into PGL Wallachia.A Dota player from team Winter Bear claims he was physically assaulted mid-match at a LAN center and forced to throw game two, with notorious figure Sensibility allegedly logging into his account to finish the game. Cap, Quinn, and Insania pick apart Ivan's story — what holds up, what doesn't, and whether the "betting mafia" behind lower-tier Dota is something grimmer than just Sensibility and his crew. From there, the trio turns to PGL Wallachia: Team Liquid topping their group, why Falcons look like a TI-winning team on a familiar downward trajectory, the MOUZ and Yandex reality check, PARIVISION's Satanic carrying on his back, and why Heroic's TaiLung might be the best mid player to enter the scene recently
