Episode 32 - Worlds 2019 Quarterfinals

Recorded on: October 23rd, 2019

Chris eventually made it even through a work emergency. That's dedication folks! Kalvin, John, and Vince open the cast up by breaking down the second round robin of the group stage. We go over some of our surprises, disappointments, and some ideas looking forward for these teams next year. We go on a bit of a tangent about the tournament format and Vince's beef with it as well as a couple proposed solutions. Then we break down our quarterfinals matchups and make our picks!

There was a short 20-30 second window where there were a few audio issues toward the end of the show where I accidentally turned my (Vince's) mic off. Appologies but didn't want to cut off the good points John made replying to the riveting silence!
