Hey we're back with a PGP episode, and we're joined by Yeon for our 40th edition of the podcast. We go through Yeon's career from before he joined 100 Thieves Next in 2020 to being on that team, SGC 2020 and working with Spawn & CoreJJ there, then moving into TLA for 2021 and of course the 2022 season. We also hear about how Yeon picked his IGN, how Eyla ordered food without him, and he wants to remind everyone that Spawn is old.
