Hello Humans!Today we're talking to our artist Isaac about how the Commentators have been adapted to work with the new King of the Hill team battle mode!What are you working on right now?

Although my official title is “Server Engineer,” I work on a wide variety of things because we’re a small team. A big chunk of my time recently has b
