-Do you think G2 is going to meet expectations at worlds? Are the teams maybe going to figure G2 out?

  1. I haven't done a super indepth review on every region, but if I were to choose 5 (not in any order) it would be Fnatic, G2, FPX, RNG and either SKT or Griffin. I haven't seen enough of Griffin to properly judge them, but I did think Damwon was actually a stronger team than SKT coming into playoffs, unfortunately it's hard to make that argument given they lost 3-0. I'm really hoping Griffin beat them though!

  2. I think G2 will live up to the hype. I genuinely believe that not only are they as creative and aggressive as the LPL teams, but they have a genuinely good understanding of the game. They are the best parts of LPL and LCK combined into one. The biggest risk they have is their over confidence. I can see them losing BO1s, but right now, I don't see them losing a BO5.

  3. As mentioned above, I've barely watched any Griffin this split. I'll be studying their finals a lot and their week 10 performances but I can't comment on them much right now un...

To /u/RiotDrakos How did you end up as PBP Shoutcaster and how long did it take you to be where you are standing now? Was it a difficult road?

Also, how is it possible you didn't cast MSI finals? You got the best voice and the way you hype is just perfect. YOU BETTER CAST WORLDS FINALS, not some NA plebs.

To /u/Ovedius Was it tough to "get in Deficio's shoes"? How hard did you have to improve or maybe it was easy to be probably the best colour caster?

To /u/RiotQuickshot Why do you consider stepping down as caster? In my opinion you are doing great job as PBP caster and honestly, you and Sjokz are the face of LEC.

Lots of love to entire LEC crew, you are doing a fantastic job!

Haha. Well, a lot of people told me not to try and fill Deficio's shoes, just be the best Vedius I can be. I'd like to say I worked towards that, but at the same time I've taken on a lot of what Deficio used to do and try and incorporate it into my own style. I don't know if I will ever replace Deficio, I think I'm still a personality that is controversial in the sense of my cringey humour outside of casting puts people off me, but I would like to think that he is not missed as much as he used to be due to the levelling up of my own understanding of the game along with the hard work and support from my other colour casters.

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.

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.

/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 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.

EU Rising : Splyce

It make me laugh so much when I see many people write the "Their midgame is terrible" because they heard Duke sayit and some analyst also say it but they wouldn't know how to explain it.

I am not saying it isn't true, but jesus do people quickly adopt the narrative they read when nobody was saying that before and just said "They are so slow lol XD".

Edit: Just a quick reminder as I think I didn't properly explain myself. I am not saying that claiming "Splyce mid game is weak" is wrong, I am just kinda pointing out that everyone labelled Splyce differently before and it wasn't until the casters, promotional content (podcast, promo) and coach explained they had mid games issues that suddenly people repeat the same thing. My problem is that people don't even get why they have theses issues but they repeat the narratives, which mean the moment Splyce will properly resolves theses issues, we will get the "SPLYCE MID GAME" meme for weeks despite it no longer being true.

To be fair, throught the majority of the split we on the broadcast have highlighted a lot of their mid game mistakes, mainly stemming initially from players not really knowing what to do and getting caught out, developing later in the split to skipping or missing steps in terms of their set ups. I think it's understandable that viewers are aware that Splyce have mid game issues, it's just that the issues have changed/evolved/whatever word you want to use throughout the split.

Tbh, I don't actually know any person below ~30yo, who never smoked weed. Back when I was a teenager, weed was as common as beers at parties, even people who aren't fans of smoking, usually tried it couple of times. I would be really surprised if Vedius never did.

I have never in my life done any drugs or smoked. I drank while at uni but I also don't drink alcohol. So there you go, surprise.

Quick question Vedius. I don't know if you touch on this later in the episode, but when you said Origen might not get to the gauntlet, I really tried to see the math behind it, but I can't see a scenario where OG will be behind in points with four other teams besides the summer split winner.

So is there something I missed?

No, I was just incorrect. I confirmed with my stats team today that because of how the playoff matches are set up, Origen have locked a spot in gauntlet. They still have a shot at worlds!

I just recently beat my PR of 60kg for 4 on bench, which is my body weight! I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing but I do the same weight for Lat pulldowns haha
