Episode 7: Will the coronavirus cancel esports? Ft. Emily Rand
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been the talk of the town since the start of 2020 but this week we've seen the cancellation of notable leagues and events in esports. Overwatch League & Call of Duty League has suspended events, Flashpoint will take place without a live studio audience, ESL Pro League will kick off season 11 online, Leauge of Legends continues to work around the issues and the list goes on and on. Major sporting events around the country have suspended play for the foreseeable future as well. It's clear this is a problem worth talking about and this week I'm joined by ESPN's Emily Rand who inadvertently became a resource for ESPN on the coronavirus due to her covering the LPL in China at the genesis of all this. I chatted with her about her journey and how the world of esports is in a unique position to work around this global pandemic. All this and more in That Esports Podcast!

Customer Reviews
Best esports podcast out there
If you’re even just an occasional esports viewer give this show a shot, you’ll get turned on to new games, new teams, new personalities and new events to check out.
Just wanted to say the most recent episode with slasher about valorant was my favorite episode so far, I really enjoyed the longer form discussion you had. Please have more of them!
Best Podcast Ever!
Overwatch league was my first glimpse into esports. I was instantly hooked, and notice one individual that would appear from time to time. This individual could command a crowd, and captivate any audience.This individual is the global icon himself, Goldenboy.
His wrinkly brain, and background throughout esports is a MUST if you want to learn about this amazing industry. His knowledge, and connections tell the narrative that fans never get to see or hear. Thanks to this man, I am more interested in other esport events outside of OWL. Thank Goldenboy, and keep grinding!
Amazing Show!
I love the show and the energy Goldenboy brings. His passion for esports is unrivaled. The global icon is now available for all of us to hear on a weekly basis!
As a pretty hardcore Halo esports fan this show is neat for me. I get to see esports from a different angle outside of Halo. I’m hoping the HCS learns from some things other games are doing well. Shoutout to HCS Protalk for referring their listeners to the show.
