Why do esports feel the need to be validated by outside media? Better yet, why do esports attack those who don't? We're diving into the discussion thanks to one fateful tweet by a professional skier, questioning the sanctity of Halo at the 2016 Winter Xgames in Aspen, Colorado. Continuing with talk about G2's new, not-new CS:GO team, and of course, the Micro!Support the show

This episode is covering some interesting, thought provoking topics surrounding the role of homegrown tournaments VS big developer backed circuits, spurred by a wonderful Daily Dot article by Steven Jurek. Followed by a discussion surrounding the misunderstood pickup of Stewie2k by Cloud9--with audio from C9 N0thing. We start the episode off with a DreamHack Leipzig CS:GO Recap, where Na'Vi took the crown 2 - 0 by the no-longer-underdog-Luminosity. We wrap it up with The Micro, of course.Support the show

This week in esports drama: Vulcun's parent company caught hijacking browsers and force feeding ads through an extension. That extension is ninja installed through an update to a popular game: Running Fred. Vulcun hasn't released a statement as of the recording of this show. Cloud 9 had a poor showing at the Global Esports Cup, and took the low road of excuses. Finally, we clear the air with Team Liquid's CS:GO Head Coach James O'Connor in an epic interview that starts with drama, and ends with actual useful information on coaching in professional gaming.Support the show
