Damn, of all things today this was the least expected. He was literally casting not 6 hours ago.

MZ+PT casts will be missed.

Same tbh.

Mark was one of my favourite people to cast with and I've cast with a LOT of different people over the years. I think probably more than anyone else actually, certainly at international.

Might be unpopular opinion but Pastry is one of my favorite PBP casters. His delivery might not be as 100% clean as it could be but the hype he brought to some of my favorite competitive moments is overshadowed by only a select few.

My favorite moment of his has to be the final 15 seconds of game 5 of WE vs C9 at worlds 2017 Quarterfinals.

"But Mystic, the champion, the hero, of WE will hold on! They weather a brutal storm, and will [?] push themselves to a historic semifinals!"

That line in particular never fails to give me chills and I find myself rewatching that specific clip every now and then just for the hype.

I'm actually terrible at remembering my calls but someone on Twitter (might've been you tbh) brought this one that I'd forgotten to my attention and it's genuinely one of the closers I'm most proud of.

The wildest thing was I was racking my brains for what on earth I'd say if C9 pulled off the historic upset for the whole series that I almost forgot to think about a line for the other team so I think this one I thought of almost right before the game ending play.

Brain works good sometimes I guess xD

Thank you for the great memories Julian! I distinctly remember watching you cast the Jensen Ekko moment live in Vancouver. You were so great that series! All the best in your future

My only LCS final on record, but it sure was a banger.

Just gonna hijack this to say thank you. Way back in 2013, the very first pro game I watched of League was GSG vs CJ Entus NLB Winter finals, game 5, with the legendary jungle/push Heimer comp. Your excitement during that game convinced me to download the game in the first place, and check out some other pro scenes. As you can see, I'm still here. Regardless of where you end up, I wish you the best, and hope you find a way to stay involved in the community.

Glad to hear it!

This is also not a unique story, so I'm glad that Heimer game found as many people as it did.

Will you still be casting Wild Rift?

I'm not sure they need more PBPs at the moment but it's certainly something I wouldn't say no to an opportunity to cast again.

Game is REALLY sweet.
