Episode 46 - Underwhelmed by Blizzcon 2018
Blizzcon 2018 has come and gone as has another year of the Overwatch world cup, which featured some surprising upsets and altogether terrific Overwatch. Unfortunately, the biggest surprise of Blizzcon itself might have been how little news we got out of the biggest Blizzard event of the year.
Eric and Ashton react to Ashe, Overwatch's latest hero, the newly announced Warcraft 3: Reforged, and, of course, the perplexing and disappointing Diablo Immortal. Then it's on to the World Cup, China's surprising dominance leading up to the finals, Korea's continued mastery of the game, and the U.S.'s disappointing showing.

Episode 45 - Jump Heights and BlizzCon
Our final episode before BlizzCon 2018, we take a look at this year's annual 4chan "leak" and weigh in on what we think might be legit and what probably isn't.
We also discuss the latest buffs and nerfs to hit the game, including perhaps the most important one we've seen yet: jump heights have been standardized across heroes. Okay, we're being facetious, but it's honestly about time.

Episode 44 - Is there such a thing as too much crowd control?
For only the second time ever, the MEKAcast crew gathers together, AT THE SAME LOCATION, to record a new episode. We chat about the current patch notes, Blizzcon, and a question that seems to be burning on many of the Overwatch community's minds: is there too much crowd control in the game right now?

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
You guys are entertaining and gave me all the Overwatch info I didn’t know I needed to know. More importantly you kept me engaged and entertained on a 7 hour road trip. I listened to the last 3 podcasts in reverse right at the end of finals, so it was fun knowing who won the championship and then listening to your predictions afterward.
One of the best Overwatch podcasts I’ve heard
Great podcast! The hosts are very informative and natural and the information they present is relevant and interesting.
In each episode, the hosts talk about latest overwatch news, patch updates, personal experiences and explore a few overwatch league teams.
I seriously wish this podcast would get more recognition because it’s very professionally made and of great quality. Keep up the great work!
Overwatch League for the non-esports fan
Great podcast that covers the Overwatch League and all things Overwatch really well and indepth. My favorite part is that they explain things very simply for people who may not be entirely up to speed on eSports in general or even Overwatch for that matter. Great consistent content week over week.
