Get your note pads out, Street Fighter fans.

SFV pro Van Nguyen stops by Scrub League this week to drop some fighting game knowledge on hosts Colin, Kevin and Samantha.

The Toronto-based Set to Destroy member talks about his recent performances at Red Bull Proving Grounds and Canada Cup, Nash being “figured out”, and gives us his thoughts on season two DLC content.

Plus, listen for Nguyen to share some tips on beating his main when you’re face-to-face with Nash.

Speaking of Canada Cup, Scrub League’s own Colin McNeil was in attendance for Canada’s largest fighting game tournament. He shares his thoughts on the event, the community, and the incredible Street Fighter II play he witnessed.

Later on, the Scrubs discuss Jaedong’s retirement, Sam takes us through how physical and mental burnout seems to be the cause behind one of League of Legends’ biggest names leaving the scene, and Street Fighter Five’s less-than-stellar sales.

All that plus esports in the Olympics in 2024? It could happen, it Los Angeles gets its way. Scrub League episode 28 can be heard below.

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.
