2XKO is officially launched, and Caitlyn wasted no time making an impression on the early Season 1 meta. We share our first thoughts on her kit, why the combo potential already looks scary, and what that could mean once players really get time in the lab. We also discuss the City of the Wolves Season 2 reveal and the community backlash over the use of AI generated characters in the trailer. Finally, we get into the Rivals of Aether Workshop reveal and why community built content is such a big deal for the FGC.

Hosts

Andres Mirandes

Video gaming runs in his blood and competition plagues his mind. From the earliest days in the now extinct arcades, to the eSports competitive scene, he looks forward to the next game to test his skills. No stranger to rising salt levels.

Jeremiah Ward

Got his start gaming with his two cousins and brother at his aunts house. They had to always play in secret, but he fell in love with fighting games when he got his first taste of an arcade in Maryland. Now looks to grow the community.

Gabriel Medina

I've been playing video games for a while now. I enjoy racing games, RPGs, but spend most of my time with fighting games. My first goal was to get better than my brothers, but now I strive to be better than most while also teaching others.
