We convene early to talk about one thing and one thing only: Matcherino vs Arturo Sanchez. Say it ain’t so, y’all. This was a special episode, but we decided to call this episode 45 anyways. Welcome to 2023?

The SF6 Closed Beta 2 has come and gone! What are LLJB3 and Epidemic’s thoughts on their experience? Plus, why are y’all nerds crackin’, and DNF Duel making a comeback…? See you in 2023!
