TSO and Wombat are joined by competitive newcomer and New York host LazerBeamz. The gang breaks down a weekend of LA tournaments, including the most competitive Classic format tournament to date. Topics include the state of Burst Standard, Burst Classic, and Metal Fight Limited, organized play proposals such as Pick 3 Choose 1, and NAKED BEYBLADES!

TSO and Wombat return from a summer hiatus with plenty of meta updates and twice as much madness!

Guest starring competitive Beyblade parents Shindog and Firecracker.

TSO and Wombat are joined by WBO veterans Cake and Angry Face to discuss the direction of the WBO.
