Most valuable 2 hours I have spent listening to an eSports related discussion.
Highly recommend anybody with an invested interest in the industry personally or professionally listen to the entire show. Absolute gold mine of experiences, advice and insights - especially for somebody like myself developing a brand.
Husky and Destiny have one of the best thoughts about eSports. As someone who believes that eSports is going to be huge, I hope that these guys are able to aid the industry to grow into something that we long hoped for.
