what was your MOST Favorite AND least Favorite moment in EU LCS / LEC History?

and to eutriaged:

What Technical Issue was the Most difficult for you to handle?

As a fan (Worst): Watching Fnatic at 2015 MSI lose to SKT in that BO5 because Reignover bugged on Sejuani and didn't go over the wall, costing them their lead, and they chose to play on rather than remake.

As a fan (Best): Watching CLG.EU finally defeated Team WE after what was the longest series in history due to all the technical issues.

As a caster (worst): having to help Quickshot with Quickstats last split. 1 time was too many times.

As a caster (best): Getting to cast G2 vs SKT at MSI 2019. I believe that was one of the most intense and best series I've ever cast and the emotions I felt throughout the series fluctuated so much. It was a love hate kind of cast, but I remember it fondly.

I tweaked the wording to make sure it's easier to read / understand.

I'm honestly scared that the 10th anniversary announcement IS LoL Mobile (because the West will hate it) so having Cactopus meme about it makes things better, even slightly so.

I trust you guys, don't disappoint us this October. Make 10 years really feel special.

if there’s one thing we know about GAMERS it’s that only the Chinese ones have PHONES

so don’t worry bb whenever we ship these summoner icons for 10 year we’re gonna make it so you can only redeem them using a PERSONAL COMPUTER AKA GOD’s PLATFORM

You mentioned how people keep hating you for one thing, even if you haven't done it in a very long time (e.g. legacy) or only remembering you for specific things that don't have anything to do with your actual casting (Enders clothes, Flexius,...). You also told a story how people like Deficio or Papa are liked so much now, that no matter what they do, people perceive it as great, even if they themselves find it rather cringeworthy afterwards.

My question is: If you could choose how the crowd perceives you, what exactly they notice about you, what would it be? Obviously it should be casting-related, but you have to take into consideration that the people as laymen just...

This is a difficult question. I think I'd really like it if people noticed the difference in my game knowledge from even last split to now. The other colour casters and I have spent a huge amount of time building relationships with pros, analysts and coaches to better understand the game the way the pros do and I'd like to think it's showing, but I'm not sure. While I don't think I'm the smartest guy on the planet regarding league, I think I'd just like it a lot if people appreciated the effort that I put into improving it and could notice the differences.

At the end of the day though, if a viewer listens to me and learns something new from a cast, I feel like I've done my job. I think a lot of the time I get bogged down in the "I need people to agree with my analysis" and forget that there are WAY more players that just want to learn more about the world of pro players and what it takes to be one. So if I could do that for a lot of people, that would be awesome.

Who is in charge for Worlds broadcast, LEC team or LCS team?

Worlds is in Europe and I would be sad to see NA controlled broadcast with just a few EU casters involved like last year

As with every international broadcast, it's a mix of EU and NA. We share responsibilities, staff and teams and we always travel to the broadcast location. Whether it's EU going to NA or vice versa. I answered earlier in the thread, but Worlds will be hosted from EU this year, and the NA crew coming to work the event will be based with the EU team in our studio.

I'll just throw questions at everyone because why not:

/u/eutriaged How would you describe your job in a sentence with less than 10 words and whats the most fun about it?

/u/Barshnip What's the most interesting stat that you want the casters to talk about, but they actually haven't?

/u/havocrumpet my guess would be, that you create/organize hype videos for lec and all these things, that are played during the broadcast, if yes: who is your favorite pro to work with? If no ... what do you actually do?

/u/RiotQuickshot Do you miss Deficio, or have you gotten over him?

/u/RiotDrakos How do you come up with all those rap-lines for the rap-battles we have seen so far?

/u/Mediccasts Is there anyone at riot, that benches more than you? also ... did you try arm wrestling hyllis...

I think flex picks make the meta way better because it gives you so much more freedom in draft. The games become less predictable and there are more variables that have to be factored in. To me, this ultimately makes watching the game more interesting because it's not as cut and dry as old metas have been.

The worst one btw was "scale until baron spawns". I don't remember what season it was but that was definitely the worst.

To Vedius: After seeing Flexius, how big is the extended family of Vedius? Can we expect to see more from them in the future?

To Drakos: Have there been any proposed bets deemed too risqué to pull off or get you in trouble?

Keep up the good work, the broadcast is awesome.

It has no end and no beginning. The Vedius family tree is both everything and nothing. It will forever exist and not exist.

So yeah we'll probably see them more in the future :) This split I made the choice to cut back on them so that the various family members weren't overbearing and started to annoy people. Moving into 2020, I hope we can introduce new family members while utilising the old ones when it makes sense.

Only mistake he made was deleting the tweet. Was good banter

On Reddit, sure, but that doesn’t really matter. We didn’t bring back solo queue because of sentiment on Reddit. We brought it back because the data showed that people around the world were starting to actually play less because of dynamic queue. We don’t really care about Reddit sentiment alone because it’s so fickle. It’s just like the first layer of input we can get from the audience (most of which isn’t on Reddit)

also IMHO replacing solo queue with dynamic queue was actually a terrible idea lmao and it just took us a while to fully accept it

hehe - My team love me, they just show their affection by calling me old. Everytime you hear them say that, it actually means I LOVE YOU TREVOR. I promise.

Since it's happening around EU this time around will the worlds broadcast team be located in Europe for worlds or will it still be done from NA, and will the analyst desk stay in Berlin or move around too?

Worlds in EU will be broadcast from EU. Expect to see the Berlin Studio for Playins, in venue for Groups, Berlin studio for quarter and semi finals and in venue for the Finals. For all international events EU and NA teams work very closely together to produce the shows, no matter where the location is. I'm personally really excited to hose the NA crew again in a similar fashion to MSI last year and hope you are too.

Ender, you receive a lot of criticism on reddit. Do you or your team ever look at these comments, and if so, what are your thoughts on the feedback?

I read a lot of it. When there are comments with constructive feedback I'll go back and see if there's something I can improve on, especially if a lot of people are saying it. A lot of the time though, its just hate without much backing it up and thats the stuff i just have to brush off

I haven't seen a question asked about who is casting finals yet, but I wanted to share the answer anyway :P

Athens will be the first weekend in a while where I will not shoutcast any games! I am proud to share with you that /u/MedicCasts will be casting his first LEC road show final along with /u/Ovedius and /u/thatEuropeanFangirl

The Semi Final series on Saturday will be cast by ...
