Side Pull

7.26 is here and, much like his hair, Cap ain't having any of it.

SirActionSlacks or Mr. Slacks, has graced us with such a bat shit crazy podcast that honestly even trying to summaries it may do it a disservice. He does talk a lot about baby making, being pro pandemic (but anti-terrorism), Artifact, Valve, TI, Creating, and most things in-between.

Still separated, the boys hop into discord to talk about their work, quarantine, ESL, dota, lack of dota, bread, and bidets. This podcast, much like a bidet, will be a nice cool stream of water to freshen you up. I promise.

Blitz joins us to talk about way more dota than we usually do! He's stuck in Los Angeles with us, however we're still recording remotely due to COVID. Check out him and Cap casting ESL for the next three weeks! Listen to him talk about casting, coaching, Liquid, and balancing all three. Also, threesomes.

Turns out the only thing that can keep Cap and Joey away from recording in person is, well, a global pandemic. The boys podcast from the comfort of their own room (sorry about the audio?) and talk about people who didn't stay in their rooms and went to WePlay. Also how canceled Majors effect talent's bottom line, and getting sexy while on quarantine. Also, I guess, Corona and 7.25.

Dan Offen of Position 6 joins us for an episode of Side Pull recorded right after Summit 12! This is part 1, and if you want part 2 you'll have to go to the Position 6 podcast feed to get it. If you're one of Dan's fan's coming over, thanks! Enjoy your stay. The bathroom is to the right.

We're here a little early this week to get you our hot off the press opinions on all the DPC news Valve has been dropping!

Part 2/2 of our recording with Charlie! This one is a little less about dota, and a little bit more about shitting in the woods. Naturally.

Charlie Yang is Back talking with Cap and Leaf about all the dota. All the minor qualifier stories of teams dropping out, and the delay that Corona is putting on the Chinese teams. Also, the potential new DPC season schedule, and what that may mean for Tier 1 and Tier 2 dota in 2020.

There's a new patch and things are a wee bit different as we build up to the next Major in Los Angeles! The boys both look forward, and behind as Cap tells us about his time at the Dreamhack Major.

Cap and Joey are back from Europe and want to tell you all about, well, everything that went wrong with their travel. And the greatest 90's alternative rock band of all time, Creed.

Cap and Leaf take your questions on this extended Twitter Q&A episode. Wanna know what the boys think about the player base number decline, or listen to some childhood memories? They got ya covered. Even cool people like TobiWan get in on the question asking!

Cap is back from Singapore, so the boys talk about the event; but also find out how we got Arteezy and Blitz on the podcast. Also, anime, the holidays, customer service, and more things that are definitely dota related.

Arteezy and Blitz are back with Cap in Singapore for Part 2 of their Side Pull appearance! Arteezy talks a bit about why he normally dosen't like to do these things, never being home, and what do to with all that esports $$$.

Cap pulls Arteezy and Blitz into his little Singapore hotel room to record some sick video. About dota, and dota tangential things. Even Kyle joins in for a moment! Joey however, was not in Singapore, but who cares about him when WE HAVE ARTEEZY! He like never does this stuff, so big thanks to him!

Charlie Yang (former EG / Speed.int manager and TI analysis) sits down with Cap & Leaf to take a look into the more, well, cynical side of esports. The boys get a real insider's perspective on the business of teams, twitch, and what may be problematic in the scene as it continues to grow.

I hear that everyone LOVES patch note discussion. I know we do, so you should, in theory, love it when Cap and Leaf talk about all the changes that came with the Outlanders Update. And by "all the changes" we mean the important ones that effect us. Because going through everything is too much. We curate it for you. Because we have damn good taste (and so do you for listening to ussssssssssssssss t...

Trent joins Capitalist and Leafeator on the Side Pull DOTA 2 podcast! Trent talks about big life things, like having a mortgage, and a son, and littering! The boys talk about roles of casters regarding political stances, switch games, dota roles, and just a treasure trove of topics. Probably too many. Follow Trent on Twitter: @TrentPax Follow Cap on Twitter: @DotaCapitalist Follow Leafeator on Twi...

GrandGrant joins Cap and Leaf to talk dota, walmart, the summit 11, why he doesn't normally do podcasts. But hey, we got him here for this one, so ya might as well listen? Right? Please?

ESL is over and Cap is back from Germany. The boys go over both ESL, Dreamhack, and the upcoming Summit Minor. Can any of those event's be called premiere when "Tier 1" teams are still missing? Cap also recounts horror stories of being lost in Germany, and physical trauma. Woo!

Capitalist and Leafeator bring in Tsunami to guest on Episode 4 of their DOTA 2 Podcast! We talk about tsunami's rise to working at The International; old day jobs; qualifiers for the new 2019-2020 Major/Minor, roster shuffles, and Cap drops some news about his 2020 casting situation.

Another not-your-average DotA 2 podcast with Joey and Cap. Joey completely ignores our notes, lures Cap to his house under false pretenses, and discuss why the post-TI shuffle happens every year. Join Cap and Joey as they gab about about not being able to speak German, how to dodge cops, nicknames, completely ruin their energy drink sponsorship options, and how the rosters are shaping up for DotA...

Capitalist and Leafeator chat TI9, talk mess about other talent (not really), jet lag, and discuss how much better Valve employees are than they are. Tune in for this and more DotA 2!

The very first episode of Side Pull, a DotA 2 podcast with Joey "Leafeator" Thimian and Austin "Capitalist" Walsh.
