Hello and welcome to episode 301 of HCS Pro Talk! This week, we talk about the entire G1 situation. This is the story of the unfathomable amount of finger pointing, blame deflecting, and lack of leadership and accountability which lead to an absorbent amount of money being wasted, resulting in a lack of staff/players/content creators being paid with no clear cut path to redemption.
