If there is one thing you'll learn from this episode of The Neutral, it's that commentators know how to tell a tale. Come listen to D1 talk about his SoulCalibur days, his love of Smash Bros & Nintendo, and how growing up a Jehovah's Witness made him a natural commentator. You heard that last one right. 

For this episode of The Neutral, Logan get's real about the relationship about money and resources and the FGC; especially as it pertains to improving broadcast. If you want to hear Logan talk about his thoughts on esports vs the FGC and how we should be adapting and not just cloning - strap in.

JB is probably the strongest Rashid in the US and we talk about his origins as a competitive gamer and just getting to know him better as a person.
