This week Scrub League is turning up the hype meter for EVO.

The world’s biggest fighting game tournament has announced a roster of eight games, including a special ninth spot that will be determined by fan vote. Will Marvel Vs Capcom 3 make it to its final EVO ever? Will the Killer Instinct community rise to the occasion and propel their game of choice into the spotlight?

And speaking of KI – what exactly is going on with this supposed ban on “teabagging” (in-game taunting) at the Killer Instinct World Cup? It’s a confusing yarn that has the folks at KIWC looking like they’re not even sure what they’re saying.

Hosts Colin, Kevin and Samantha chat with Chi-Rithy, arguably Canada’s best fighting game player, about all that and more.

But that’s not all. Kevin breaks down the cloud of controversy surrounding the Genesis 4 Smash Bros. 4 event, and how the now infamous Smash Box did at that tournament this past weekend.

And finally, on this 39th episode of Scrub League, host Colin McNeil drops a bomb: he’s leaving the podcast. Find out why, and what it means for the future of Scrub League by listening in.

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.
