## Resource

David Reis from Skill Team joins us to talk about Vespids. David has made a name for himself with the Tau Ancillary and has come to talk about some of his recent games. He also brings an interesting data analysis that aims to answer the question: is game balance getting worse? Finally we ask David for some of his signature David Hot Takes. Check out his dataset here. Tickets for the Summer Slaughter are available here. Subscribe on Patreon for early drops, ad free episodes, and exclusive content! Subscribe to our new YouTube channel!
