Episode 3 Show Notes

SHOW INTRO:

Approximate Run Time: 0:00 - 3:45

• Welcome to the second edition of CGS LIVE!: The Podcast!
• Discuss what’s on the plate for this show

SEGMENT #1: Pro-Am Check-In

Approximate Run Time: 3:45 - 10:54

• PART 1: Highlights (and Lowlights) from the Pro-Am Season

-The Source Rundown: The Optx’s loss was wiped off the books, and the match is still listed as pending. Complexity (2-1) suffers their first loss to 9Frame, the same team that beat the Zomblerz in Week 1. Carolina survives a scare against Hyper, winning in OT on Tuscan.

Other Notes: The Chicago Chimera are 3-0, New York is 4-0 with 2 rounds given up, and the Venom are 3-0. Devastation moved to 4-0 while the Zomblerz are scheduled for a Week 4 match against Hyper on Nuke.

-The 1.6 Rundown: x3o has three forfeit wins, but they’re scheduled to play MoB gaming this week on Train. That should be a huge match between two excellent teams. Complexity continues to roll along in 1.6—they’re 3-0 in the Pro-Am and finished second to MoB in CEVO-P.

-The TF2 Rundown: Pandemic is 3-0 with a pristine 0 rounds given up. Eximius is 4-0 with 0 rounds given up, and they’re both undefeated in CEVO as well. Devastation remains undefeated at 3-0, and it looks like those three teams have separated themselves from the pack a little bit.

SEGMENT #2: E-For-All Tease, H2i

Approximate Run Time: 10:54-21:47

• PART 1: The CGS is going to E-for-All! Hooray!

- Discussion: The CGS will be in the All Games booth at E-for-All this upcoming weekend, and we'll be debuting the new H2i platform for all comers to try out, along with many other features and guests planned for the booth. There will also be a special edition CGS Live: The Podcast on Saturday afternoon from the event.

• PART 2: H2i

- Discussion: Just how useful is H2i in determining a gamer’s skill? Does it have any value? Should a console-specific version be developed? A quick discussion on the merits of testing reaction, tracking, and other gaming qualities, and what the results mean, if anything.

SEGMENT #3: CGS Dream Team

Approximate Run Time: 21:47 - 50:50

• PART 1: Your Take

- Discussion: The listeners have weighed in. What did they say? You'll find out here as LD and djWHEAT run down some fan responses, trends, and give a quick reaction.

• PART 2: Our Take

- Discussion: djWHEAT and LANDodger give their own CGS Dream Teams from GM on down.

SEGMENT #4: DrDogg vs. djWHEAT: The Fightin' Titans Weigh In

Approximate Run Time: 50:50 - End

• PART 1: Recapping the Discussion

- Flashback: Last week djWHEAT expressed his views on fighting games in Year of the Fighter. After listening, DrDogg disagreed with many of the points. What did they disagree on?

• PART 2: The Debate

- Discussion: In a battle of the fightin' titans, DrDogg and djWHEAT go head-to-head on the subject of fighting games, the community, tournaments, sponsors, and anything else you can have an opinion on about fighting games and the community.
