The second episode of "The Innervated" podcast returns tonight at 21:00 CEST on Twitch.tv/GosuTV4 to discuss a plethora of topics. Follow our channel and tune in for the show!
Four hosts and four topics are tonight's setup for "The Innervated", the Hearthstone talk show where we lay out our honest and frank opinions on the events from last week. This week on the show we have:
1) In the wake of recent player bans:
- Alchemixt and Naiman get the hammer... and we never learned why
- Shouldn't there be more transparency coming from Blizzard when bans are issued
- What do we think the reasons are? Botting? Win trading? Account boosting?
- Will this be the true end of their careers and is it possible that more pros bite the ban soon?
2) DreamHack Summer, the $40,000 tournament that's showing balls:
- Why is it only now that we're seeing a fully open tournament?
- Is it a risk to have no popular invites which to draw viewership numbers?
- How will having two days of swiss affect the production of the tournament?
- Should DreamHack look to other swiss tournaments in other card games and take notes
3) Gfinity Spring II impressions:
- Gfinity stepping up their game compared to last edition
- Overall impressions
- Firebat defending his title - is he the best player in NA now?
- Dark Wispers Druids, or the question what are the Greeks drinking?
4) Long running, LCS-style leagues in Hearthstone:
- KPL and Nvidia Pro/AM
- How accommodating is the Hearthstone scene to such long schedules
- Overlaps and saturation
- What needs to be done before HS has its own LCS/WCS equivalent
- Should organizers consider obliging players contractually as to secure stability to their months-long projects
Additionally, you can find the first episode on SoundCloud, on iTunes and on YouTube! Enjoy and tune it for tonight's show.
