Show Notes
Justin "Lycan" Woods has seen it all. From the earliest days of R6 action, roster drama, constant issues with tourney organizers, and a successful transition to coach, there hasn't been something Lycan has missed out on. Though he may no longer play, Lycan's history as a player is fascinating and full of interesting stories about many veterans of the North American Rainbow 6 scene. Since his move to coaching in early 2018, Lycan has earned high praise from his teammates and opponents. A calming, sensible, mature presence combined with a sharp understanding of the game make him one of the best in the community at what he does. A recent World Champion, Spacestation prevailed under his leadership at the 2020 Six Invitational to win the event and hoist the coveted hammer. Considered by many to be the Rainbow 6 Dad, Lycan also dives into his personal life and how he feels we, as a scene, can hold ourselves to higher standards. It's always a pleasure to speak with Lycan and this episode was no exception.
