<h2>Bungie Versus</h2>
</p>
<p>Next week, we are firing up the streaming studio again. This won’t be a reveal stream or a Bungie Bounty—we’ve been challenged in the ways of old by a player who claims he can defeat a Bungie Community Manager in the fires of the Crucible. PopeBear, one of the hosts of the popular Destiny Community Podcast, has bravely stepped up to go against Dmg04 in a friendly 1v1 match in Destiny 2. The stream kicks off at 6 p.m. PDT on May 16.</p>
<div><img src="https://www.bungie.net/pubassets/111350/DCP_Banner.png?cv=3983621215&av=364452516" /></div>
<p>That won’t be the only bout. Immediately following the 1v1, Dmg04 and Pope will each be reinforced by three of their peers for a best-of-three challenge: Bungie Versus Destiny Community Podcast. Here are the lineups: </p>
<div>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Team Destiny Community Podcast</strong></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
<p>1. PopeBear </p>
<p>2. Ms 5ooo Watts</p>
<p>3. TeftyTeft</p>
<p>4. TheBriarRabbit</p>
<p><strong>Team Bungie</strong></p>
<p>1. Dmg04</p>
<p>2. Cozmo</p>
<p>3. Josh Hamrick</p>
<p>4. ???</p>
</blockquote>
<p>All matches will take place in Private Matches. Game types will be chosen on the stream. May the best team win!</p>
<div>Who do you think is going to come out on top in the 1v1 match? I have a <a href="https://twitter.com/Cozmo23/status/994688597755183104" title="" target="">poll</a> going that you can vote in. My pick is Dmg04, but I do admire PopeBear’s resolve.</div>
<div>You have my respect<a href="https://i.imgur.com/wGzDhHI.jpg" title="" target="">,</a> PopeBear. I hope they remember you.</div>
