Here on Game Breakers, we interview people breaking new ground in the gaming industry. In our inaugural episode, we spoke with former semi-pro esports player turned Youtuber JayShockblast. Jay was able to successfully start a lucrative Youtube Gaming Channel while working a full time job. We discuss the many trials and tribulations he went through and the keys to his success.

We follow up our first episode with a topic that's gaining a lot momentum, the state of women in Esports. With the recent sexual harassment incident at Combo Breaker 2016 and Capcom's response, we seriously have to take a look and see if Women only tournaments would be viable.  I sit down with Game Breaker Carleigh Morgan, a PhD researcher on competitive online gaming and discuss:

What challenges do women in esports encounter and what can we do to make it an even playing field
Women only tournaments - Are they needed in the current eSports climate
Would a unified governing body produce more women champions
The current state of competitive women gamers and how her research can change the perspective.
