This week on Scrub League, Colin, Kevin and Sam collectively cock their eyebrows at the “virtual” ticket for BlizzCon. Listen to find out what between $40 and $75 bucks gets you (hint: not much).

We also chat with David Rabinovitch, the Founder of Ryerson University’s esports club, which was recently recognized as an official athletic club by the Toronto university. It’s a collegiate esports success story you’ll want to hear no matter what country, continent or planet you hail from.

Later, the Scrubs pay homage to the all-mighty Scarlett, the Canadian StarCraft II player who won the Kings of the North tournament here in Toronto. Someone let Sansa Stark know, we’ve crowned a new Queen of the North.

All that, plus Brooklyn Beatdown, Riot changing the way their players are paid, and more on this week’s episode.

ESI Ranking System
We’ve created a ranking system to help you quickly know how good each gambling platform is. As gamblers ourselves, we know which factors matter most to you, so we follow a best-in-class methodology to test each one with no stone unturned. Once done, we then rank each platform based on the following tiers:
  • A-Tier High-quality sites that deliver a top experience every time. They boast strong performance, nice features, and reliable support, but are just shy of perfection.
  • B-Tier Solid platforms that are worth a spin. They’re safe, fun, and functional, but may be lacking advanced features or have minor drawbacks.
  • S-Tier Reserved for elite operators only. These go well beyond the norm with lucrative bonuses, rewarding promotions, lightning-fast payouts, and a flawless experience overall.
