Escape Will Make Me Pod

Show Notes

The community is loving Cryo! The community is hating Cryo! What is going on with the WSTR nerfs, and who is the new great enemy of the people? Will Ryan and Jake let their Compiler kills get to their head?! We're now a week out from the mid-season patch, and less than a week into the Great WSTR Nerfs of 2026. In episode 15, the guys discuss the Compiler fight (now that they've all done it), the new meta, when Marathon's second season will come out, and grenades, grenades, grenades.
