The Summoning Hour
By Joe "Rakaul" Belousek
Your host, Joe "Rakaul" Belousek, dives head first into esports; professional and collegiate.
Colleges are joining the esports hype train and they all have a different take. If professional esports are the Wild West, collegiate esports is unexplored frontier. I investigate the founding, the administrative involvement, student culture and the plans for growing esports on campus.
With the occasional deviation for professional esports, esports businesses and game developer interviews, we'll cover large swathes of gaming culture. Join me as I learn, game, grow and become more involved!

The Summoning Hour - NYIT CyBears' Duran Talks Shop!
I finally get to talk to NYIT! And what a doozy! Duran comes in fast with the history of NYIT, how the stars aligned and how the club is managing to put its best foot forward even calling early tryouts! Making adjustments early and often shows a group that is ready to take their program to the top of the collegiate scene while actively supported by faculty and other staff. What a ride it will be to see them continue adding to their presence and drive others to model themselves after NYIT.

Black Lives Matter
Black Lives Matter.
In this episode, I discuss with Zeke, Jermal and Sergio their experiences with racism. Some truly heartbreaking stories that our next generation has experienced. Knowing that it has been like that for every generation previously but even harder, is devastating to process. Everyone is realizing just how much farther there is to go.
Here are a few sites I've used to find ways to contribute to this movement:

Man, Myth and Legend, the Brains behind College Esports Expo - Kevin Mitchell

The Summoning Hour - Students of College Esports Expo
Just look at what has transpired since CEX 2020 at the end of February! It feels like this episode was so long ago!
My friends, this is one to listen to. This shows how much effort these students are rallying around their esports clubs with. Emerson's tradition in the highest quality journalism practices and facilities drew me in. I felt so inspired about what this program can bring to collegiate esports. Listen to this and use it to push yourselves and really come up with the identity behind your school.
This is by far one of the best insights I've gotten of how other students on campus, gamers or not, esports fans or not, can get involved and how some truly great opportunities and education happened because of them.

The Summoning Hour - AFK Segment - Education High Ground and COVID-19's Impact
The Summoning Hour - AFK Segment - Education High Ground and COVID-19's Impact
Hello everyone! My computer is still undergoing some maintenance so I'm putting together this episode. With Riot coming out with new guidelines that impact collegiate and high school esports it caused quite the spurned group outrage on twitter and on multiple discords. I can understand some folks feeling like they're getting screwed and/or they have some sort of moral right to use these tools for students as they're not commercializing someone else's product and that it ultimately helps a company that already rakes in cash. But, there's also a civil way to go about it. I think some folks are high on their own supply at the moment and need to really look at the big picture and realize they have to make a different move if they want to change the conversation in more drastic ways.
I have to side with Riot on this one.
COVID-19 is screwing everyone. Collegiate esports and student life notwithstanding. But what do we do at this point? What can we do? We do our best and we get creative with things. I think that's the right approach. Now more than ever, everyone has to put their best foot forward and decide what they really want to make it out of this whole situation. Are you going to put everything on pause for an unforeseeable amount of time or are you going to come out ahead? There is opportunity within this bizarre state of affairs.
Who is going to find it first?

The Summoning Hour - Revisiting Northeastern University with Rick and Tyler
Wow! It seems like forever since an episode has come out!
This is a great catch-up episode with Rick, my original introduction to NEU, as well as the newly appointed Esports Coordinator, Tyler.
We go over everything that has happened with the school and Tyler's history within esports coming from Wichita State University and how Northeastern plays a pivotal role in the Boston area for collegiate esports.
There's a lot of context, information and cool stories to uncover in this episode. This is the first on-campus recording I've done and I have to say, I'm hungry for more!
I hope you are too, as this is episode one of many to come in from around my time at the College Esports Expo!

The Summoning Hour - AFK Segment - Player Conduct, Trash Talk and Esports
"I do hope, as an 18 rated game filled with violence, gore, blood, bombs, guns and bullets that counter strike players arent going to start using their in game characters to crouch up and down on dead opponents in the virtual world, that would be a step too far. /s" - Paul "Redeye" Chaloner
"All the violence portrayed in the games is fine though to ignore? Teabagging is rapey? The lack of logic and reasoning is astounding." - Scott "SirScoots" Smith
I dive into the latest trash fire running around esports on Twitter and relate it back to how I would like to see sportsmanship, game teaching and competitive modes developed and taught in game development and/or league development external to the game.
Much like game development, players will always find someway to try and get an advantage. In competitive games it is the mental game since voices and text are usually restricted or extremely limited. So we have to think beyond the context of a single game, a single platform and a single solution.

Episode 070 - Quack Quack! University of Oregon Ducks
This. This is the model of how every school should be behaving over the next year as they get their esports programs in order. They will find their faculty member(s), facility, sponsors, community, student leaders and create something significant in a short time. There's still plenty of room for flavors of programs and clubs, but that will be driven by the community of students. Any college not attempting to even gauge the interest of their students has failed to stay relevant and will be missing out on a tremendous branding opportunity and recruiting tool.

Warm set of applause for Austin and Connor coming out to the podcast. Austin and I have chatted a number of times already since the inception of his club and their growth has been astronomical.

Episode 068 - David Willis, Head Coach for St. Edwards University Esports
David and I got to chat about what it is like moving from one organization to another and how he’s building not just a mechanically sound group of competitors, but also develop a welcoming space for everyone and helping to be the voice of esports on campus. St. Edwards is a school on the smaller side, but don’t let that fool you. These smaller schools are attacking esports and bringing it to campus with wide acceptance and unparalleled eagerness to have their students thrive.

Check Your 6 - Season 3 Week 1 & Pro League Recap
We talk through some of the highlights of the NA Pro League. My highlight I wanted to call out was in the Team Reciprocity vs Rogue match. Check it out:
https://clips.twitch.tv/AuspiciousBusyGiraffeCharlieBitMe
Aside from that, we watch as teams get used to the new schedule in CR6 Season 3. We note the incredible growth and opportunity from collegiate teams to execute and really bring real attention back to their schools.
Shout out to the Esports Eggbowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State esport clubs and their R6 teams. MSU's team tied the Eggbowl series with the win in this best of 1.

Episode 067 - James 'Hops' Hoplin - Washington State Uni's Esports Coordinator
Well this episode isFANTASTIC! Getting to know Hops was a lot of fun but then learning just how far WSU has come since the last time I interviewed members from their organization is really impressive. WSU is taking huge bounding steps to join the pack of frontrunners in collegiate esports and certainly, a commanding lead in esports development in Washington state. Yeah I know UW has a community gaming lounge, but in terms of program and development? UW can't stand up to what Hops and company have got going.
I encourage everyone to listen to it, despite my best efforts of self-sabotaging this episode. I apologize for how Hops sounds, that is entirely my fault. The good news is that it was a one off issue and won't happen again (until I tweak my settings again #RIP Me)

Episode 066 - York Esports with Robert and Moe
Met up with President Robert and Vice President of Marketing Moe from York University Esports. It is great to hear about another school in Canada doing its best to bring esports to attention. This interview speaks towards schools who have found success in one aspect or another and look for that next step. Given that York has found competitive success with CS:GO and there is a desire to look at Call of Duty, I foresee "York University" coming up in many more competitions.
Huge thanks to @MichaelSchorr for letting me share his band's music. Ladies and Gents, this is Delta IV! Show 'em some love :)

Episode 065 - Glenn Cravens - Author and Esports Analyst
Had a chance to talk to Glenn Cravens, author of "Fighting With Numbers: 2019 Edition: Some of the Stats From the Fighting Game Community's Biggest Tournament Series" and esports analyst. We break down the beauty of what data can help us learn about ourselves, others and how we compete but then also how it can be a growing aspect of how games train their players. Back and forth we draw comparisons, predictions and desires for how data is used in the future of esports.
Shout out to new musical guest, TIGG! Thank you for bringing back the nostalgia that is TEAM17's classic series, Worms, with your very own track, "Worms".

This is a huge cast! Not only is it with someone whom I felt like we speak the same language and have a lot to say about esports, but Gary's business, Convoke, is in Seattle! We're getting more businesses and infrastructure around here to make a scene happen around here! Gary and I discussed so much it is hard to summarize but if you want an energetic, back and forth exchange of everything esports, you've come to the right place!

Episode 062 - Michael Policar, 15 Minute Financial Advisor Podcast Host
For all the conversation about the money of esports lately, Fortnite World Cup and DOTA2's The International come to mind presently, if you're not a player, what can you do to join in on all of this hype? Well, investing is a start, but before you can get there safely, you need to take care of you and build your infrastructure. With that in mind, I brought in my fellow podcast host compadre, Michael Policar, from his podcast "15 Minute Financial Advisor".
This session has him going over some of his favorite books and resources as well as his perspective on a few topics. Give this cast a listen, then be sure to head over to his podcast and subscribe.

Episode 059 - Part 2 - Creative Solutions
We are wrapping up this long project! This time around we have a long episode with the return of our guests, Jason, Christian and Scott. We go back into some problems around longevity but start sussing out smaller issues, things that were more unique to each school. We get some controversial tactics and methods as well as some very technical solutions.

Episode 061 - Four Members of University of British Columbia
This week, we engage with a flurry of activists fighting the good fight for esports in the Vancouver, British Columbia area. I found them while I was watching the mini-documentary, "Smash Forward" (link below) from the group STORYHIVE (@Storyhive on Twitter!). Hearing how they're already reaching well beyond campus to participate and build their esports offerings is inspiring. These are the engagement levels that every college will aspire to have with all of their major clubs, not just esports.
Give them a listen and cheer them on as they've got a full year ahead of them for what was planned, not including all of those special moments of random living life and directing hundreds of students' passion in gaming to see how things will change :). GLHF and enjoy the podcast!

Episode 060 - John and Marco of CollegeCOD
This week I got to sync up with John and Marco as they prepare for Season 2 of CollegeCOD (Call of Duty for the uninitiated). We go through the efforts and passion it has taken to get this far; speaking so highly of every community member, every team member and every school. The 'P' word comes out a lot in this episode. If I had to describe this whole idea of CollegeCOD, it would be as most elaborate passion project I have ever heard of in the esports space. John and Marco have their hands full building a proper collegiate scene with the community mindset that drives the most successful scenes. Listen in to hear some of the initial announcements for Season 2!

Episode 059 - Part 1 - Longevity & Challenges
This is a long time coming and I can only apologize and thank my guests for their patience. It has been a long road to get this underway, executed on, rehashed, rebuilt, restarted and all of the other re's out there.
In part one, my guests and I talk about longevity and where it stems from. We're also so new at this, along with the colleges themselves that no one had really recognized the impact of a passionate individual who drives everything and we get to hear some nifty stories.

Recorded nice and early for this one! I interviewed UK-based Hitmarker's Managing Director, Richard Huggan. We got a chance to talk about the origin of Hitmarker as a job board, how he found his way into it and the tremendous growth it is playing within the job market for esports; professional, collegiate and volunter-based.
This is my first podcast around the business-side of esports and there's even more to learn. I'm driven to understand how they'll impact esports from the big wigs of C9, Team Liquid, Overwatch League, NBA 2k and all the way down to primary K-12 education esports.

OU's Moog second name drop on Twitter brought me to Eugene Frier of Texas Wesleyan University. Probably the smallest school I've talked to but with an attitude for esports as some of the major contenders. Eugene and I speak towards what it means to be building an esports program, a community and even get our nerd on reminiscing about vanilla World of Warcraft.
This podcast goes on to prove that anyone and everyone can be involved in esports and it is to the benefit of schools, professional esports and the professional growth of students. Give it a listen and share your feedback!

OU's Moog name dropped some clubs and people on Twitter so I tracked some of them down and got another great episode that further explores how much collegiate esports has grown in just a year. UTD status, resources and approval on campus is reminiscent of many other programs'. Greg Adler, Director and Coach for UTD's program fills me in and helps paint the picture of an esports contender.

Episode 053 - Mike 'xpR' Pipher of Collegiate R6
This week, seemingly starting a trend for Rainbow 6 episodes, I interview the admin of Collegiate R6, Mike 'xpR' Pipher. We cover the history, the tremendous growth of Collegiate R6 and where it is going. It is great to be able to hear about the processes and challenges of handling the collegiate scene but also amazingly inspiring to hear how many people, including the players, are striving to organize and give this scene the same legitimacy that professional esports had searched for for years. Enjoy this podcast! I hope it gets you all as fired up as I am for the Fall 2019 Season of CR6.
