Amateur school-centered esports may be in trouble in terms of the options of platforms presented to them, as recently a league operator across High School Esports has sent cease and desist letters to other scholastic leagues playing games they claim exclusivity to. From League of Legends to Mario Kart and more, league operators are struggling to provide games of all kinds to schools under their care. Today we were joined by member of Generation Esports, founders of the HSEL, MSEL, NJCAAE, and other leagues in the educational spaces, to discuss why games exclusivity hurts not just tournament and league organizers in states across the country, but also students served by those organizers in the first place. Mason Mullenioux, CEO, and Jonathan Schrader, VP of Growth, from GenE, are here to tell you why inclusivity of games helps build up the next generation of esports professionals, instead of cutting the options out from under them.

The news was teased out over the last few weeks, but finally it was confirmed that Torrent, the esports arm of Wisdom Gaming, was joining the Halo Championship Series. With players from Pushin P and Unsigned Talent, they secured a top 16 performance in a tough Open format, but before that went down this past weekend, we had a chance to talk to Wade Penfold, the VP of Esports at Wisdom Gaming. Also known as "Dreadnaught," Wade has been all around esports as a professional player in "Heros of the Storm," a commentator and host for various scenes and events, and now in an executive position helped secure an expansion into Halo Infinite esports. We discuss how it all went down and what exactly happens behind the scenes when these things take place.

We often hear about grassroots esports in the states outside of the urban population centers. Rarely do we hear news about local scenes outside the 50 States. Axel Rivera is a student at the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan by day, and by night he commentates and helps run local FGC events on the island. We discuss how these events are organized, what and where the community holds these events, and what can best help grow the scene on an island of nearly 3 million people.

This is it, my last show on the Esportz Network Podcast. It's been a blast hosting this show, thank you all for listening. Wanted to leave y'all with one final banger of a podcast. Discussing the state of esports media, the conflicts of interest that exist and how it's evolved post ESPN shutdown with the fantastic Adam Fitch. My next step will be at Nerd Street Gamers. I'm excited to get started and will be doing writing first, then likely expanding to audio / video content following that. Please follow my Twitter linked below to stay up to date with the latest from me. This show will be handed off to Kevin Correa. He's an experienced host in this space and I have full confidence he will continue to deliver high quality shows with great discusions. Adios everyone, it's been a pleasure.

Daily Fantasy games capitalized on a loophole that allowed them to operate as defacto sports betting competitions even when sports betting was only legal in Nevada and New Jersey. Even though sports betting is opening to state after state due to a Supreme Court decision in 2018, daily fantasy giants like DraftKings and Fanduel set themselves up for success. But those aren't the only daily fantasy games. PrizePicks, another leading DFS site with a different format to DraftKings and Fanduel, was already in esports pre-pandemic and the lack of sports caused the company to focus in on esports as a key part of the site's offering. Adam Wexler, PrizePicks CEO, joins the show to talk about the expansion into esports, where bettors are putting money down and what makes PrizePicks unique.

Aydan Conrad is one of the best controller players Fortnite has ever seen. The 20-year-old had a lot of success with Ghost Gaming before becoming a free agent in April. Now he is focusing on streaming and YouTube creation around battle royales like Fortnite and Warzone. Recently he held a charity stream where he played Shave the Day, a mobile game for IOS and Android from Shick Extreme and Playcrafting. The game's format is familiar to all gamers but the unique aspect is that the further a player goes, the more money is donated to St. Baldrick's Foundation to prevent childhood cancer. Anyone can download the game for free and money will be donated to the foundation up to $250,000. In addition, Aydan is shaving his head for charity as well. On Wednesday, March 27th the streamer will take a razor to his hair with the goal of raising more money for the foundation.

Indie games get a bad rep. All that title means is that they are games from a developer not tied to one of the massive AAA studios. Instead, indie has become a meme that often means low-quality, rough, or in need of improvement. But some of the biggest esports ever came out of indie studios. The best example being the founding of Riot Games by two USC students in 2006. League of Legends went on to become one of the biggest games and esports in the world. This podcast covers some of the history of indie developers in esports, some of the best indie games out right now and my idea for an awesome indie-based annual esports event. Rate and subscribe!

There is a new game genre in the works.

Then Max Bettendorf joins the program to give an honest of review of this game (based on the pre-alpha version) and if it may be the next Rocket League. Rate and subscribe! New episodes Weekly.

OpTic Gaming was one of the largest esports organizations in the world. In 2017 they had the best Call of Duty team with a rabid GreenWall fan base, they secured spots in both the LCS and OWL franchising and were still expanding. They secured extra funding from Infinite Esports and Entertainment, which took the company out of the guiding hands of Hector 'H3CZ' Rodriguez, a move that proved to be fatal. Now, halfway through 2019, OpTic Gaming is just a brand under Immortals Gaming Club competing in the new CDL franchise league. Their LCS spot is being rebranded as Immortals and their Houston Outlaws OWL team will have to be sold. In this podcast we look back at the OpTic dynasty and how it all fell apart. Here are the links I mentioned in the podcast: Dexerto's documentary (https://www.dexerto.com/videos/the-best-call-of-duty-team-of-all-time-optic-gaming-documentary) on the OpTic Gaming dynasty which details more of the key moments and gameplay in Call of Duty.
