Episode 94 – Virtual Vela Victorious in Chicago

The headline is almost becoming redundant: “RemiMartinn Wins Again”, and we couldn’t be happier! The Crusading Champion of the Controllers, Martin Oregel, takes to Twitch once again in another installment of the LAFC Gaming Charity FIFA Challenge, this time against Chicago’s BITW7. It’s time for Episode 94 and more victorious exploits from our eMLS gamer. 

 RemiMartinn absolutely dismantles Chicago’s eMLS gamer, BITW7, in the best-of-three series in the name of the LAFC Foundation. Virtual Vela, Rossi, and a moment of glory for Jordan Harvey are all part of another big weekend for Remi. You can hear the entire recap of Remi’s rout right here on Defenders of the Banc. 

 Lots of news and notes abound in this episode! Filly and the Scarf take a trip around the other major soccer leagues, bringing you news about the Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga, the EPL, and the Eredivisie. Back home, Alicia Rodriguez is up to more good things over at Angels on Parade, this time chronicling the whereabouts of LAFC players of yore. The moratorium on training has been extended, but it hasn’t killed Steven Beitashour’s desire to get back on a roster in MLS. Will Ferrell joins the fight against COVID-19 as part of the All-In Challenge. Where does Carlos Vela stack up in the pantheon of Los Angeles’ athletes? And what about LAFC? You’ll have to listen to find out!

 Also on this episode, Filly learns the word “demoralizing” while Scarf does a decent job at pronouncing Monchengladbach. And yes, that was a Nico Czornomaz sighting on the podcast! Thank you all for participating in #Haturday, especially on one of the hottest days of the year so far! We can’t wait to unveil next week’s fun, and to celebrate LAFC Day with all of you on the 27th! See you next week for Episode 95!
