Royal2 joins us as Tied the Leader returns for HCS Season 4. An incredible guest with a storied 15-year career, Matt was open and reflective on his legendary past and provided unfiltered insight into his future. Highlights include the hilarious first gamertag he "shared" with his brother Royal1, an even funnier Canadian TV advert featuring Royal2, an introspective take on his split with his long-standing duo Snakebite, and a hard-to-believe nugget about teaming with back-to-back Rookies of the Year ItzTheLastShot & Cykul. This is can't miss for any Halo fan.

Join us in welcoming Grassroots Giant, ELI X to the Podcast for Episode 15. He has been a staple of the Halo Content Creation scene and one of the most prolific Multi Kill Medal Hunters in the game. During our chat, we discuss the History of the Halo Montage, dissect the Artistry of the Killionaire, reminisce about old friends, tackle a fun Tier List and much more!

For Episode 14, we deviate from the mold and have welcomed two guests to the show: Veronickuh & Biittersweet, two-fifths of Women of Halo's Executive Team. We learn their individual origin stories, how they got into competitive Halo, navigated a male-dominated gaming space and ultimately answered the rallying cry which laid the foundation for Women of Halo.

Few have the resume of our guest for Episode 12. The MVP & World Champ discusses his come up, the current HCS Landscape, how he came up with "Lucid" and we have a bit of fun ranking some memorable Halo Hair from over the years. Lucid had a prior scrim commitment, so we had to forego our usual Quick Q's segment, but we will make sure to get them in the next time he visits the podcast.

There was blood in the water at HCS London and Suppressed was on the hunt proving The Megalodon is just as formidable on LAN as at SEA! In our latest episode, we get "chummy" with the newest threat on the HCS scene. Follow along as Suppressed takes us through his humble beginnings, how a fortuitous FFA led to a chance connection with a Gaming Legend, and why he has been able to sustain his TOP SLAYER status through two different metas.
