Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass, your ticket to all the great beer events in and around Chicago. 

On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are still on their Oktoberfest journey, and this time, they have cans from Riverland Brewing. As they knock back a couple of tasty fall Oktoberfests, Brad shares his recent journey through the suburbs. Over the weekend, Brad checked out Riverlands, Obscurity Brewing, Fox Republic, and a stop at Yorktoberfest. There is so much happening around town this month that the guys are getting a bit behind on episodes as they try to squeeze in every ounce of nice weather they can.

Chicago Beer Pass: Rocktober

This is episode one hundred and seventy of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp.

This week I have a little bit of a different episode for everyone. We're going to skip the general Vainglory news this week and dive into what GankStars have been doing. The last few weeks GankStars have been making a lot of noise on twitter with their recent spot in the Vainglory franchise system as well as getting accepted into an accelerator. That is just on the organization front, the players have been crushing it too in C-OPS, Paladins and H1Z1. Joining me to talk about everything they have been up to is PwntByUkrainian and SuiJeneris.

If you're looking for all the Vainglory news, stay tuned and be sure to subscribe. On episode 171 AWKN joins me to run down it all as we get ready for update 2.8.

Thanks for listening and watching Shatter The Vain!

This is episode one hundred and seventy two of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp.

This week we’re diving into the unified championships and all the changes we've seen during the release of update 2.8. Joining me to chat about all this is fellow GankStars member Sunz. Sunz was pretty much watching the unified championships all week so it was great to chat about all the games and go over some favorite moments. I would have to say the competition is getting pretty fierce on the fold and this season in the Vainglory 8 is gonna be a major challenge for everyone playing. 

Because the update dropped after update 2.8 was released, AWKN and I didn't really dive into things too much but this update is a doozy and I don't think everyone has figured out the impact of some of these changes. 

Hopefully, you are enjoying the podcast and if there is anyone or anything you'd like to hear about let me know. Thanks!

Shatter The Vain 172: Let Autumn Begin

This is episode one hundred and seventy four of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp.

This week I’m joined by fellow GankStars member VICtorious to chat about everything that’s been going on in the Vainglory scene lately. Kicking it off, we talk about his recent trip to the Summer Championships in LA. Then we dive into the big news about Immortals getting out of the Vainglory scene and what it might mean for the game going forward. Finally, to close this out we talk about why content creators for Vainglory may have trouble getting views on their content and how it’s very likely a large percentage of the user base have no idea podcasts, streams or youtube videos exist about the game.  
 
If you’re typically an audio listener to the podcast, be sure to check out the video version on the Shatter The Vain YouTube channel. Although I had some trouble with the camera for VICtorious, it’s still a great listen. I’ve also had a few requests on ways to support the podcast and the best option is on Patreon. I’d love the opportunity to do more episodes like this in the future along with the usual episodes you’ve come to love. If you aren’t able to be a Patreon backer of the show right now, no problem and thanks for listening.

Shatter The Vain 174: Immortals Gone?

This week we're finally getting out of the NA bubble as I’m joined by french streamer and shoutcaster, MacMan30. It's really exciting to hear what MaxMan30 is working on, it seems like he has his hands in a number of different projects. 

On this episode we dive into a bit about NA players getting banned, the new skins in update 2.8 and our thoughts on the new items heading to Vainglory

Shatter The Vain 175: Players Banned

This is episode one hundred and seventy-nine of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp.

Update 2.10 is just a day or two away, and there is a lot to talk about with the upcoming release of  Lorelai, new skins, and the insane amount of information we have about 5v5.  Joining me on this episode to chat about all of this is AutoKorrect. AutoKorrect also recently started working with Immortals, so we dive into what he is doing there, how he got there and what it means for his stream going forward. AutoKorrect was previously on episode 47 of the podcast, so it's fantastic to see where this path has taken him over the years.

Shatter The Vain 179: AutoKorrect Returns

This is episode one hundred and eighty-five of Shatter The Vain. I’m Brad Chmielewski and this is a podcast all about the mobile MOBA Vainglory created by Super Evil Megacorp.

It is finally here! We have all now seen the new 5v5 map and it look’s amazing. During the Vainglory Worlds we got to learn about Sovereign's Rise, see a few matches played and learn how we can all get access to it before it’s release. Joining me to talk about what we saw in the 5v5 map is BLG3RNT. BLG3RNT also recently started his own podcast called The Queue where he’s diving into multiple Vainglory topics every week. The two of likely could have talked for a couple hours about what’s coming but I wanted to make sure we can save something for the next episode.
