So, from what I understand, pastry is the lead on the replay files, and this year he moved into more of a producer role, which is why you see such an improvement in the broadcast itself, but it means he doesn't have the same time to make these. Also, good content just takes time so 🤷‍♂️

If anything I actually have more time to make these!

Mostly though I have significantly more transferrable skills which means I can be more helpful when building it out.

Delays with this stuff are a complicated mix of reasons but the biggest one will always be 'do we have a story worth telling that we can tell now?' and when I looked back at this moment the Features team connected it with current Zven and it all fell into place.

Replay files - love all the funny content from LCS but would be nice to bring back some more serious content. So many more iconic moments that could be covered and summarized by a single play:

- TL's series vs IG in 2019 MSI - the impact neeko moment

- TSM's legendary gauntlet run in 2020 summer - the spica shen L taunt

- EG"s miracle run in 2022 spring - the danny pentakill

This is not my favorite show/content from LCS. But MarkZ has really been putting in a lot of work for content. I really enjoy the overall focus and direction he has gone with it.

....still miss Dash tho.

Out of curiosity, what IS your favourite content/show from the LCS?

I think a lot about how much I miss casting with Mitch.

We have hugely different backgrounds and skill levels at the game but we were very aligned on how we thought games should be delivered on-air and had similar senses of humour we got to share during casts.

Miss that boi, hope he's doing well.

The Raz cut to 'my wife' got me. So good!

When the music drops and Sadge Raz cuts in is my favourite moment.

Are you cosplaying as the long haired guy in catchup with doublelift?

No I just produce that show, Helper Guy does his own thing.

To clarify, I currently freelance but work closely with Riot.

I was a caster on the LCS (NA Pro League) for a long while and now I help them make content!

I was called upon to participate in the Quid Games and I answered it.

First international event I can think of without Phreak, it's gonna hurt more than people realize I think. Rewatch old teasers and memory videos, so many Phreak casting moments created massive hype. He'll be missed!

Phreak is a lot of different things to different people good and bad but he was almost always clutch af at international.

Doublelift said on costream when it aired that this one was recorded after their win streak into playoffs iirc

This is correct.

He also has not seen the show before from what I could glean so came in about as unprepared as you see in the episode AFAIK.

Ugh I miss Canada so much those were my favourite roadshows we ever did.

Yeah, I never had more faith in a team or more fun watching than 2016 tsm. I’ve been watching since the first season and that’s by far my favorite team too.

Was a shame they flamed out so hard internationally that year.

That team looked poised to absolutely take names with the form they had domestically.

Still a great year though. Also biased as it was my first LCS split LOL

ik this is the LoL sub, but they did a similar thing for valorant and the episode for a player called BcJ was one of the best esports features ive seen, especially because the material is already so good for it. Even if people aren't into Valorant I definitely recommend they check it out.

edit: Here is the video

Don't quote me because I can't be 100% sure but I'm extremely confident the team that produces Drive also produced this series.

Both are bangers as it turns out.

Pastytime casted my all time favorite game, look up jungle hiemerdinger lck

Game is great, casting is objectively bad in the game LOL

Least the passion of the pick and how wild and fun that game was has been the most enduring parts of that series.

MarkZ was robbed of his best casting partner when Pastrytime left. They were the perfect duo for each other and had great synergy that neither had when paired with someone else.

Little late to this thread but appreciate the sentiment, one of the hardest things about being moved away from casting was losing all the synergy Mark and I had built up as a duo.

There's something so fun about casting with that muppet. He matched the lightness in energy I used a lot in the latter part of my career but he knew when to weave in stats, storytelling and deliver in big moments as well.

Mark is great in content and as an analyst, but I still think he's a criminally underrated colour caster too.

Thankfully I still get to work with Mark every week, but instead of casting I'm helping bring the outer wilds of his brain to life in content xD

It's not about shop, but collection - when you sort the list by role, these are the marksman they meant.

Correct! The collection list also matches the lol website which was taken as the most 'official' document.
