Episode 18 - Proper footwear and not reaching for the stars

 

Recorded on: June 26th, 2019

 

Injury Report: Kalvin T (ankle fracture)

 

Our first injury report of the podcast leaves us unfortunately lacking in spicy underdog selections as we look at a fairly chalky weekend with a couple interesting matchups in the LCK and LPL. We spend a big chunk of the show talking about Rift Rivals NA vs EU and the historical context of RR as well as relative strength historically between EU and NA. We also give a longer sign off with some pertinent life advice besides wearing the proper footwear to basketball.

 

I didn't tag all the digressions this week because I wanted to get this out to you all before Rift Rivals starts tomorrow!
