Episode 29: Be Like Brendan! Flashback Adepticon 2022
First off, huge thank you to the wonderful Brendan Born who has been waiting patiently for this episode for almost a year. Second, huge apologies for the sudden hiatus. This past year has been very busy and challenging, a lot of ups and downs for the Gaos.    We can't promise regular uploads but we hope you are all excited about Adepticon 2023. In this episode Brendan talks about his awesome experience at Adepticon 2022 and the spirit of sportsmanship.    We will be continuing to host an event at UK Games Expo in June and we hope to see some of you there.

Episode 21: Matchup Analysis 7 - Welcome to the Sands of Jundland!
Insert screeching Tusken sound In this episode, Isaac, David, and Jess bring on veteran Imperial Assault player Joey, who was crazy enough to run Tusken Raiders at a VST... AND MADE THE TOP CUT! We dive head-first to learn all about the importance of aggressiveness, positioning, aggressiveness, aggressiveness... Did I mention aggressiveness? I feel like we mention it a few times during the episode... With Joey being as awesome of a Melee player as he is, we get to really delve deep into why 2-figure melee Brawler groups can be so incredibly strong in the right hands. Hope you enjoy!
