The Trinity Force Podcast focuses on the community first, and we've always covered as many topics as we could. For the last year or so, that's included LCS discussion whenever we had a chance. However, your appetite for LCS information is ravenous, and we were never happy with our brief LCS talks. We could never fully address the topics you wanted discussed, and we never gave your questions the attention they deserved. Simply put, we weren't giving the best LCS discussion we think we're capable of giving. Competitive League of Legends is huge, and we want to do right by it and right by our fans. Early in February, Dom and I discussed the best way to handle LCS, and there was really only one logical conclusion. We're excited to announce the newest member of the Trinity Force Podcast family: The TForce LCS Rundown. The TForce LCS Rundown will feature people talking about anything and everything related to LCS, just like the Trinity Force Podcast does with League of Legends. To do it right, we decided to expand the family beyond the number of shows each week, and we brought together the three people we feel are best for the job. Hosting the show each week is Tom "Motgnarom" Morang. Tom's a podcasting veteran: He hosted the Instalock Mid podcast from June 2012 through June 2013. He also contributed to other community projects, including KilaneBot and Twisting the Treeline, and he was the Community Director for Severity Gaming. He'll keep the show rolling when the other boys are too riled up to see straight, but he'll make sure his voice gets heard along with the rest. Joining Tom will be TFP fan favorite Nathan "Reckern" Recker. Recker stepped down as a Trinity Force Podcast co-host in late 2013 for personal reasons, but he's remained a guest host and featured streamer on the TFP channel since that time. Fans loved Recker's confident, argumentative demeanor on TFP, and we're excited to have him back in the fold, discussing and arguing all things LCS each week. Rounding out the group is Tom "Optimus Tom" Searfoss. Tom's the most well-known member of the new endeavor, having spent time as a co-host on the Trinity Force Podcast and as a shoutcaster for Major League Gaming and the North American Challenger League, as well as contributing analytical services to myriad blogs and journalism outlets. When he's not shoutcasting or tweeting, he lends his talents to Riot Games as the statistics and storyline coordinator for the European LCS. Tom brings to the show a level of LCS authority held by few others in the eSports industry, and we're thrilled see him return to the Trinity Force Podcast family. For once, three guys make a triforce. Tom, Recker and Tom will host a live show for you each Sunday evening – just after the week's LCS action ends – and the audio will hit iTunes, Stitcher and the other outlets early in the week. We look forward to everything these hardworking gents will do for you, and we hope you'll join us for the ride. – Adam "Pwnophobia" Cogswell
