As the 2024 season finally kicks off, join Steve and Cobalt as they cover all the key highlights of what's been going on so far. LCS Armchair analyst Steve and LEC armchair analyst Blue give their mostly well-informed opinions, with some overreactions and hot takes sprinkled in, on both leagues.

A variety of topics will be discussed ranging from weekly rundowns, to off-season roster recaps, to opinions on content created by the organizations. Now you might be wondering, “Why should we care about what these random schmucks say about pro League of Legends? They’ve been hard stuck Plat since season 8”!
