Line as in the physical cable or some other technical tv stuff?
Anyway, good to hear you’ll be back! It would make the super week more super to see you there!
wave back
The physical cable. We've got cable runs all throughout our studio, but we've maxed them out and need to run more in this case to get it back.
Again no shot of the production room with nice people waving at us? :(
Give me my behind the scenes people back!
Lots of love though!
Waving still! But not showing it for now, as we’ve needed to repurpose the line previously used for that camera for something else, temporarily.
Thanks for the details! I'd assume it's be a similar story for the other regions?
I can’t confidently speak on behalf of every region, particularly in how they handle remote games due to COVID (as each region has a unique situation— we take 10 minutes because Berlin, as a city, has some difficult internet infrastructure to contend with at times).
But it should be fairly similar.
Thanks for the info! Sorry if I jump onto your comment but I wanted to ask something related: do the players on stage hear the casters and the crowd? If there's only a few seconds of delay, casters often comment on information what should not be given to the players, eg who has recalled, if a team is setting up a play, summoner spell cool downs etc. I heard that players have a constant stream of white noise in their headphones and they can only hear the game and each other, is that so? If yes, then it's a bit sad they don't hear the crowd cheering for them :)
Thanks for the work you all do!
Players on stage wear heavily insulated headsets which include some baseline white noise to mask the sound of the casters and audience.
Lead producer of the LEC here. In general there is about 3-5 seconds between the live game and observer, so the audience in the studio sees the games virtually instantly.
The encoding process + stream output results in an additional 30-45 seconds. All-in-all, for live games on stage our delay to the average viewer is generally around or slightly below a minute.
In the LEC where teams may play remotely due to COVID, our observer delay for games is at minimum 3 minutes to ensure competitive integrity, but we usually do 10 minutes to build a buffer. We use those 7 minutes to skip over pauses on air whenever issues relating to the remote environment (like internet issues, etc) arise.
why is the audio balancing so bad? the in game audio is way too low.
Thanks for the feedback! Just looped back with the audio team to check on this and made some adjustments.
thank you for the response! im glad theyre working on getting those on the scoreboard, I like the new HUD overall a lot but that was just one major thing i always thought it was missing
Thanks for the kind note! We'll be continuing our work on the HUD behind the scenes.
Something we did get added this past weekend is a Viego transformation indicator. If he gets drafted, keep an eye out on his champ sidebar portrait during the game when he possesses a body!
how hard would it be to put bounties on this new overlay, its been like 3 weeks now i dont understand how it hasnt been a priority
Hey, Triaged here, Lead Producer on the LEC! Sadly, the answer to your question is that it's a bit difficult, afterall.
Bounties remain a top priority for us to get into our new HUD. We're already partially able to implement them in the Kill Feed whenever a bounty is taken (by calculating when Gold Received from a kill is greater than what it normally should be), but there is the missing information in our bottom scoreboard, which would rely on us passively having the data available to the graphics system running our new HUD.
Ultimately though, we are prioritising accurate information in our HUD, and currently we are still refining our approach to getting bounties displayed prior to a kill being made. It's definitely not the answer I know viewers want to hear (and trust me— we're feeling the pain too, and really want bounties in the HUD as soon as we can get them in), so I can only ask for your patience as we continue to work to create a fully out-of-clien...

Why does it show that tomorrows matches are postponed? Is it not a superweek?
We're following our schedule as published on Lolesports. Will escalate to Google why it says they're cancelled...
If I understand this correctly only game 1 and 5 will have the players in the studio https://twitter.com/LEC/status/1491728993086758912
You are correct, only games 1/5 will be in studio.
wow, kevin left us?
he's still here in spirit. and also, as my manager.
Love it when we get a small cut of the behind the scenes team at the end of the day. They genuinely seem to love their work and are just as important to the broadcast as the analysts and casters we see on the desk.
<3 Thanks for waving back at us.
Oh my god. This is amazing.
OK, raise your hands if you cried watching the S04 video
✋
Yo broadcast team. No matter when you read this, you are awesome and make the games more fun. The community loves you.
Thank you!
Why players aren't on studio? Weren't they playing in studio last split play-offs already? I mean pretty much everyone got vacinated and there is massive competition on other sports already even bringed back crowds of thousands. I don't think bringing 15-20 extra people on LEC studio changes anything. I have no idea why they don't bring players to the studio
Yeah I'm aware of that lol and assumed that was the case to a certain extent. What confused me is how the LEC has had casters/crew in studio for a while, even before vaccines were super available, but they're hesitant to re-introduce players?
Hiya! Currently in the studio we follow strict COVID-19 protocols, which includes significantly spacing out our crew's working spaces and locations, and isolating different groups of the studio from each other.
Without getting too far into detail, while our testing and safety procedures have allowed us to return into studio, we do not have enough physical space to handle the flow of 100 additional people in the studio safely (10 teams x 10 people per team + additional catering staff and crew needed to support all of them!).
It's notable that for playoffs, when only 2 teams are in the studio per day, we were able to have teams return to play on the studio because we were able to manage the smaller number of people.
The safety of the players and our crew is our top priority!
What was it for?
It was a throwaway joke that Drakos made on the EUphoria Podcast last year ("You can listen to EUphoria on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts from.... enderweirdchamppodcast.com....)
I just realized enderweirdchamppodcast.com is dead
I can't believe that people actually used this ahahah! Sorry, I'm renewing the domain now.
