Sorry about the warmogs thing everyone. I'm sure it's frustrating hear casters share info that isn't correct. Was totally my bad and just a change that I missed. Now I know! No disrespect to Markoom of course, he had a great game

When it comes to in-game knowledge and the way you deliver that knowledge I think your casting is top-notch among all tier 1 esports casters.
Sadly I do feel the LEC in general, and not just you, bog downs the broadcast with way too much "narrative" especially around G2 and FNC. And I'm probably not the main audience anymore since the LEC is growing but my patience for that kind of narrative has run out.
I still enjoy your cast a lot when it's not G2/FNC or on international games, great job at Worlds.
Perfectly reasonable opinion mate
especially on Fnatic or G2 games when I'm told to put a larger focus on them
As an NA viewer, the LEC bias for these two teams always seemed insane and it sounds like you are confirming the LEC pushes the casters to talk about it.
inb4 quickshot USUPERS OF THE THRONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's not as simple as "The LEC forces casters to" it's more like we get new viewers all the time who have never even heard of these teams, so we're encouraged to talk about their history for sure. They're also two fan favourites, so a lot of fans just want to hear a lot about them. It's never as simple as "The lec made me!! :(" Ultimately as casters we can say what we want so it's on us at the end of the day. People will always disagree on what is too much though, that just won't ever change
Man I like you, but you're the most biased caster in the LEC. By far. Just any game with Fnatic and G2 is the same story with you. On and on about how big of a favorites they are and how much the other team will have to fight for it and even when the other team is somehow stronger at the moment we must not forget it's still Fnatic yadayada etc...
And it's cool, I get it, those are legendary teams and many people support those teams, but you're blowing it out of proportion and it's difficult listening to the desk when the desk is clearly not being impartial. The LEC isn't Worlds, you have to at least try to be impartial.
It's alright though, you don't need to take any of this as valid criticism. I'm using my mute button liberally anyway.
I think it's perfectly fine for you to not enjoy my casting. I also think it's fine if you think I overdo narratives, especially on Fnatic or G2 games when I'm told to put a larger focus on them. As they are historic orgs, during downtime it wouldn't surprise me if I often relied on their extensive history to fill time if there aren't many things to focus on in the moment. It's not my place to tell you what is too much or too little as casting is ultimately subjective, people have their favourites and their dislikes and what they see as too much to too little is up to you.
The only thing I wanted to challenge was bias. I have no affinity or favoritism towards either of these teams. In fact, it's much better for the league when they lose. I was really happy that MAD won back to back splits, I care about the success of the LEC as a whole and the more competitive teams we have, the better! Feel free to be as liberal with your mute button as you want, you should do whatever giv...
Read moreMan Vedius will be insufferable in Fnatic/G2/Vitality games. Medic is cringe and Quickshot is MIA?
Drakos and Sjokz are going to have a rough split.
What?
Vedi please help me find out what the jacket is that drakos is wearing in the first verse
We have no idea. Stylists are hired to sort clothes for us and they just bring us things to wear. Don't have the info sorry :(
Last rap battle inspired by NF's flows, this one Eminems I presume? The verses were really good
Anyways, wanted to ask if there's any more rap battles coming for Fnatic v Vitality and Rogue v Misfits or is this it? It's banger content either way keep it up
As mentioned in another comment, I'm afraid this is it for this split. There are a bunch of reasons as to why, and while we would've loved to have done one for every playoff team it's just not feasible at the moment.
How can you guys come up with such amazing lyrics? And can we expect another one for the other playoff teams or in finals?
I'm afraid this will be the only one for this split. For many reasons that I can't really get into we could only do one, hopefully in the future we can go bigger and better!
I mean, this split there is not many burns you can throw on Jankos. Dude is the only one playing on high level without slumps :D
We had some retirement lines that we didn't use, maybe next time ;)
Are your lines ever sped up? Or are you just a rap god now? Cause some bits there were insane.
None of it is sped up. I would say that it will always sound cleaner from in-house recording because each line is recorded separately to have the most perfect take ever, but that shot where the camera pans around my head is a single live take, I can do it IRL for sure
good job vedieus , did you write your own rymes?
Aye, most of them. Drakos and I share a doc where we write a bunch of ideas in. We usually use those ideas to write bars for ourselves and then we come together and modify them to our style. The CLG line was all him though, I edited the flow a little bit but he deserves all the credit for that insane burn.
Eminem starts taking notes Vedi & Drakos world tour when? sheesh another banger by the LEC!
haha that's very kind, but I actually took a lot of inspiration from him. His final verses from Godzilla were what I used as a framework for my fast part. I hope I did the legend proud.
We really hope you enjoy the newest rap battle! Drakos and I were really happy with the lyrics, wish I got a few more Jankos burns in there though :P Our production team behind the scenes were really insane because we did this on such a short timeline so let us know what you think! Playoffs will be hype!!
and the casters still managed to cream over inspired, showing some weird stats, where he is not even top4 in??? it was weird. and vedius talking about farm advantage when inspired was 3cs up haha. i dont understand this narrativ. how can it still be talked about in the game where inspirded gets gapped hard. what do you guys think the caster would be doing if it were the other way around...
I don't normally comment on these threads, but this is selective hearing at it's worst. I spent a lot of the game highlighting everything that Jankos did extremely well. Covering bot lane at level 3 to fix the wave, tracking inspired throughout the map. We can acknowledge and praise inspired without making it about Jankos, which is what we did, while also praising him for an excellent game.
I'm really open to feedback but I think this reddit narrative that Jankos is getting ignored and 'scapegoated' by casters is going too far. Jankos had an excellent game and we did a lot to point that out this game too.
they start around 5-10 minutes earlier to allow for replays, and the time difference decreases as the game goes on. it's definitely much harder to do the fancy effects and future teamfights with a smaller delay regardless
Live, observers are only at most 5 seconds ahead. When the games are online, they can go to about 10 minutes ahead but they normally spectate only a little ahead too.
in this hypothetical proper metal song, who does the screaming vocals?
CRROOOOWWWWWW STTOOOORRRMMMMMM
:)
I'd pay money for a pentakill song with Vedi vocals.
That would be POG
Damn that's actually genius please u/Ovedius
No joke, I've been asking to make a proper metal song for a while now.
One day we'll get it. One day.
Happy that those singing lessons are paying off. Hope you guys like it! We like to come up with creative ways to promote our teams and upcoming games and thought this would be a cool way to bring some fun and hype ahead of a our rematch of the final! Let us know what you think! <3
Anyone know what size joggers Vedius is wearing? Not sure if I should get M or L.
I was wearing a small! They fit well for my skinny ass. I really like joggers and I thought they were good, would recommend if you've got the budget.
