  Episode 8 of 'Summoning Insight', a League of Legends talk show hosted by Duncan 'Thorin' Shields and Christopher 'MonteCristo' Mykles, featured special guest Christian 'IWillDominate' Rivera, formerly of of Team Dignitas and current Junger of Curse.

  The big topics were the All-Star tournament and the need for coaching and analysis in the West.

  Note: I am on holiday and MonteCristo is still in NA, so the video quality of our webcams is lower than usual.
