25. Showdown

August 28, 2017

Jesse is setting up a huge one on one battle in the garage between two pro gamers, but he hasn't told Julia or Ian anything about it. As he sets up a livestream account and begins promoting it on the channel, the excitement builds. When the gamers, Nakat and Keitaro, show up in the garage, we get the feeling that our gang has hit the big time. With Jesse taking care of so many details in advance, they are left wondering what else there is to do. Ian takes them through a Rocky-style training montage, which we soon realize doesn't have much use in the real world of gaming. The battle begins with a first round of Super Smash Bros, the preferred game of both players. Following that, the second round features the two of them competing at FIFA 16, the latest version of one of the world's most popular titles. If there is a tie, they agree to break it with an unconventional game. The world watches as we find out who will win bragging rights.
