Should I not be mistaken Toast was busy trying to 1 shot bosses in Elden Ring. Lmao

Seeing Scarra with a smile on his face throughout practically this whole podcast was awesome. Great episode.

[@VinegarPotato]

I love listening to Scarra's stories. I also enjoyed listening to Doublelift's perspective

[@officialgoogleyoutube]

Y'know, I just LOVE that with Toast gone they've had OTV members hosting with people who they have a rapport with. The last two episodes have been such COLOSSAL BANGERS. I wanna platonically smooch whoever came up with the idea.

[@monicaaamoo]

I really enjoy Scarra content because he always seems to be excited about the conversation, especially in this episode. I understand maybe 5% of what they’re talking about, but still enjoyed it.

[@_knighted]

I was enthralled- two old friends recounting stories and experiences and we've the privilege of listening in

So much respect for double lift. Even when presented with a perfectly acceptable instance to being up his own tragedies he doesn't. I can't imagine going through what he has and being as strong willed.

Scarra such a big hearted good guy man

[@theotakuGamer7640]

I love scarra on the podcast, I really enjoy the different perspectives and ways each of the OTV members come to the podcast & host. I would love if each month it was a different host with different guests.

As a fan of both individuals since their esports debut, this has been such a treat to enjoy!!

[@reich2126]

The first few mins are surprisingly fire compared to the other 14 episodes Edit: finished the whole episode and gotta say, it’s the most entertaining episode so far!! Y’all gotta get more Scarra energy into these talks!

[@Mirro18]

What I love about this podcast in particular is just... Those two clearly have gone through so much together. Like Idk how strong their friendship really was in all regards, but it is clear that that wealth of shared experiences has forged something special and it comes out when they talk. Especially because they are both very smart people who think so much about what they are doing.

Its so great to see the "old school" league players I loved to watch back then still be friends today, its almost as if they were just catching up and talking as good friends do where its never uncomfortable and its always just so natural! Much love to you Scarra and all the same love to you as well Doublelift!

This episode was an absolute delight. Scarra as a host talking to someone who shares the same experiences and interests as him is so enriching and exciting to listen to and watch. It also doesn't hurt that these two are icons and legends in the League scene. Personally, I loved this episode specifically and I look forward to more of them like these.

This was awesome to listen / watch, felt nice being nostalgic of the past of old league and esports 😊

[@MrWayn3lim]
