The Multicast with Blitz Purge and Hotbid: Recent Episodes
Kevin Godec
This episode is almost ENTIRELY about the Shanghai Major, if not entirely, which we all know is what you guys want. We brought in Capitalist to diversify the information a bit since Purge and Hotbid weren't there, so please enjoy this special Shanghai Major edition of The Multicast. Enjoy!

This is the Multicast! The podcast where we talk about the dota scene, tournaments we traveled to, thought about the meta and pub games, and then whatever else we can whip up. Check the notes if you don't want to sit through the entire timeline, but you'll probably enjoy it. Check the playlist for other episodes if you've missed them, and some day I will make an RSS feed.

We talked about a bunch of random things. I upgraded to Windows 10 and it made Xsplit auto-use my Webcam mic so I'm sorry about the shitty audio quality.

Blitz, Hotbid and I wanted to start a Podcast so we did.

If you guys think of a cool name we'd be happy to steal that from you. My audio will be improved soon(bought new equipment) so sorry about any white noise.
If you guys want to make us a custom art piece we'd be happy to use that.
Leave questions in the comments below and we can maybe address them next time just like how we're going to go over the story about how Blitz and Hotbid first met.
