Episode 065 - Glenn Cravens - Author and Esports Analyst

Had a chance to talk to Glenn Cravens, author of "Fighting With Numbers: 2019 Edition: Some of the Stats From the Fighting Game Community's Biggest Tournament Series" and esports analyst. We break down the beauty of what data can help us learn about ourselves, others and how we compete but then also how it can be a growing aspect of how games train their players. Back and forth we draw comparisons, predictions and desires for how data is used in the future of esports.  Shout out to new musical guest, TIGG! Thank you for bringing back the nostalgia that is TEAM17's classic series, Worms, with your very own track, "Worms".  Glenn's info: eBook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N12GKTC https://twitter.com/thegametwok Data Trackers:  Capcom Pro Tour: http://thegametwok.com/cpt2019 Street Fighter League: http://thegametwok.com/sflusa TIGG's info: https://twitter.com/TIGGmusic https://t.co/Kql1bjc5sz?amp=1 Be sure to check me out on social media and leave feedback there or on the Anchor platform to be integrated into the podcast: https://linktr.ee/warlockrakaul If you have a message for the podcast please leave one here: https://anchor.fm/thesummoninghour/message Support the Podcast with a donation: https://anchor.fm/thesummoninghour/support
