Hi Dive Fans! This week had an extra helping of org drama & breaking news so Azael, Kobe & Mark are here to bring you through our word of the week: Communication! Be it Communication from organizations or Communication with your teammates, we have you covered.

The Trio also touched on why you should still have faith in C9 & 100 Thieves. The improvements we've seen from Immortals and Golden Guardians. Plus, if Flyquest can hold onto their spot at the top of the standings. All heading into the first Superweek of the split!

Mark also bet Kobe that Team Liquid would only lose 1 more game this split, the problem is they don't know the details of the bet. Leave a Youtube comment to let us know what you think the conditions of the bet should be. Do they eat something spicy? Do they have to wear something ridiculous? I'm a cruel producer so the skies the limit!

Thank you for all the questions we got to this week, the more you send in questions with #TheDiveLol on Twitter or on Anchor.fm, the more we can feature them on episodes. Spring Split's first Super Week kicks off Friday with Cloud9 vs. Dignitas QNTMPAY at 2:30PM. Don't miss it!
