The latest episode of The Innervated podcast comes to share our impressions in a post Batstone and PGL Bucharest world, and why format diversity is once again king.
The Innervated is a podcast all about Hearthstone, airing each Tuesday at 21:00 CEST on twitch.tv/gosugamers. Hosted by Radoslav "Nydra" Kolev and a group of experts, the show takes an in-depth look at Blizzard's award-winning card game, covering the competitive scene in detail while pulling no punches.
Episode #57 has the show's hosts joined by HCT caster Alex "Raven" Baguley and the five discuss just how important format diversity is for a game like Hearthstone. With Batstone #1 and PGL Bucharest leaving the audiences much satisfied, the quintet argues that changing the nature of the competition on a regular basis is a building block to a healthy and engaging Hearthstone scene.
