[2019] How does one go about becoming a caster?

Have a good set up and then cast like China games or academy games that they don’t cast then once you build a name you can cast like college games. Being an actual riot caster is probably knowing the right people. Azael wasn’t a caster. Markz and crumbz are probably next when someone leaves.

practice. i use to be really into casting and got pretty damn good at it (i could go full cpt flowers mode in a big teamfight) but have fallen out of love with the game for the most part since i have been playing for almost 9 years. personally i would start by casting over lcs games with the actual casters in the background, helps with the flow and pacing of the game and your casting and what you are focusing on.

there are also two types of casting, color casting and play by play casting. color casters are the more statistic/macro/micro casters that pay attention to the smaller details while play by play is team fighting and skirmishes and what not. if you are in a multi caster game, one focus on one of the sides while the other does the other side. ie flowers is a play by play while jatt/kobe is a color. flowers got found by casting collegiate games

if you get really good and show that you are really committed, one of the lcs casters may help you and "coach" you if you reach out to them. most of the casting they do is off the air while practicing

And as I’ve said I’m going to follow every single bit of advice I’ve gotten here. The only reason I haven’t put anything out is I don’t live in a country where technology is cheap and I’m saving up for all of the tech to make it good and high quality as I aspire to be as good as you all who have led the way.
