Presenting the HearthCenter podcast and our episode #1 guests Rdu, Ek0p, Jeff from Hearthstats

The first episode of GosuGamers' Hearthstone eSports podcast, HearthCenter, is here! On the show this week: RDU, Ek0p and Jeff from Hearthstats discussing all the big issues of the week in Hearthstone eSports.

Welcome to the debut episode of the GosuGamers Hearthstone podcast! Hosted by GG.net's Callum 'BeardyFace' Leslie, this is a podcast dedicated to covering Hearthstone eSports with accessible and informative analysis.

Every week on the show, we'll be inviting different members from the community, ranging from players to casters and tournament organizers. We'll keep thing strictly eSports, cover the hot topics of the day, comment on the happenings and provide insights into the world of competitive Hearthstone.

We've also decided to make baby steps at the start of this endeavour and for now, the podcast will be available on audio only. Right now the show is on SoundCloud, Stitcher Radio and available as a direct download, with iTunes and Tunein Radio coming soon - so you can listen to it whenever you are. Of course, our goal is to bring it to the streaming platform near you in the future so you can get more personal with us and our guests.

  • Europe's #1 player RDU joins us to talk about his Deck Wars S2 win, the upcoming WCA tournament and how he balances school and being one of the best gamers in the world.
     
  • Jeffrey Tong from Hearthstats discusses the inaugural Hearthstats League, their plans for future tournaments and what innovations they can bring to Hearthstone - along with an EXCLUSIVE announcement...
