Man, am I ever excited to have Episode 74 release to you guys...with none other than Jake Lucky! Jake has been a fan of eSports, but specifically Counter-Strike for quite some time now, and he is a very familiar face on the internet, especially within the gaming, streaming, and esports news communities on Twitter/X. On a personal note, this is a special episode to me because back when I released the Summit1G episode, Jake was the first of many with big platforms that did a special piece of coverage on the episode...fast forward to the Austin Major, we got to link up at the venue, and here we are today with the Jake Lucky podcast episode. Absolutely WILD how the internet works, but it can be a really special place sometimes.

Cxzi arrives for Episode 73 of the podcast! Cxzi talks to us about growing up playing COD and trickshotting, getting into CS:GO and eventually getting a spot on Complexity...until the unfortunate announcement from Jason Lake revealing that Complexity will be exiting the Counter-Strike Esports scene. Damn. It still stings to think about it all. Apart from that, Cxzi talks about how he was the only Complexity player that didn't get a spot on the Passion UA roster, leading to him joining Marsborne and continuing his pro career with them. Amazing conversation with Cxzi, I hope you all enjoy!

From talking 1 year ago about the possibility of making an appearance, he was busy and had a lot going on so we decided to revisit at a later date, and that later date has come.
