On the last episode of The Innervated, we welcomed a special guest and a former GosuCrew to talk about what's WESA and do we need something like that in Blizzard esports?

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 at Blizzard's award-winning card game, covering the competitive scene in detail while pulling no punches.

Episode #47 comes in the wake of the founding of the World Esports Association (WESA) in Counter-Strike, an organization designed to act as governing and regulatory body of the esport, established with the help of ESL and several selected teams. Why is the initiative facing so much backlash, however? Do we need something like this in Blizzard esports? Who should run it? All that and more in the episode below.
