On today's episode of the Rough Drafts Podcast, Chase "RedShirtKing" Wassenar and Walter "Ceades" Fedczuk introduce their new plans for the podcast and half of their hosts (sorry Walter!). Together, they discuss how OGN delivered on the hype of Overwatch Esports (4:30), why Heroes of the Storm struggles to catch on (26:40), and Smite's ability to succeed despite clear issues (35:50). They close with a brief glimpse of hope for NA's CS:GO scene (37:50), the most exciting tournament you didn't know was happening (48:30), and a brief, rambling Doctor Strange recommendation (1:05:55).
