would you know that word if nilah wasn't released? that's how i learned it lol
great job casting btw!
I used to play DotA: Allstars under the name "Apotheosis." in like 2006, though I used the lesser-used pronunciation of "ah-puh-THEE-uh-sis"
And thanks!
Kudos for the use of the word apotheosis! Love ya Phreak!
TY :)
LPL casters spent a lot of time before and during DRX vs EDG games emphasizing the fact that Zeka did literally nothing noteworthy during his tenure in the LPL.
That's what makes Zeka's story so compelling. In his three year long pro career, he hadn't won a best of 5 until the regional qualifiers at the end of the LCK summer split.
Goes on to be one of, if not the, best-performing mid at the world championship.
They were right to bring up his lack of accolades. And it makes the apotheosis that much cooler.
Hey! Just want to let you know every game you cast is one I make sure to watch on a co-stream 🙂
Nice! Glad you’re supporting your local streamers
Thank you. In hindsight I was really happy with my casting at the time, but in the moment I just spoke how I felt so I was actually worried how it would come across. I'm glad you enjoyed it
Good job vedius you are good at shoutcasting.
Your introduction of the players before the DRX EDG series was great. You brought the perfect level of hype. I thought it was lacking in some of the previous quarterfinals and you knocked it out of the park on Sunday. Very well done.
Thanks a bunch!
Got to meet you after 2015 worlds. I spent the whole series in the box seats above you guys with my partner. Absolutely fantastic all around. It was a pleasure meeting you
I’m glad you had a great time!
Most of the casters actively campaigned to become contract workers in order to get paid better rates. It allows them to stream (Caedral, Flowers), and appear in other games (Sjokz in CSGO). You also get paid higher as a contractor and have more negotiating power. As a Riot employee you get guaranteed pay, but less control over your own schedule. For example, it really wouldn’t have been a choice for Medic to skip out on Worlds if he was not a contractor.
If I had said I was unable to do Worlds or MSI I’m certain Riot would have let me bow out.
The rest of this thread is not really something I’m going to be able to comment on. But saying Medic would be forced to do Worlds if his employment were different is inaccurate.
Is your voice alright? Rewatching game 5 the strain is apparent. Regardless, your cast made that game 5 so hype.
Yep just fine. I’m pretty good at controlling my energy levels across a series. I could talk ~90% normally immediately after.
Did it ever cross your mind to open one of the team drawers upside down to recreate the jizuke meme?
Haha no. I remembered that that’s happened but nah I wanted to do the official parts as correctly as possible.
I think im stupid because I don't get it
Semi trucks
I hope you and your caster colleagues know how much we appreciate all of you! You make hype series so much more fun, so thanks.
Also, as an aside - I'm looking forward to your Lost Ark streams post-worlds again! I know you can't stream during worlds, but your streams are so chill I listen to the vods while falling asleep at night, so thanks ♥️
I'll make sure to still put on some streams because of you. Thanks :)
Which one are you casting? Or both?
Dunno. I'll probably hear on Monday.
Ty mr.u/PhreakRiot
You carried me in a solo queue game on zilean on my climb to diamond 3-4 years ago and now you're carrying worlds.
You're welcome.
Lmfaoooooooooo hell yeah! You're welcome.
And you know I'm excited for semis, because they always deliver. That was a pun
phreak with the ultimate caster curse. "should be a clean smite" lmaaaoo
Hahahahaha
Zeka is pretty good at Sylas.
The antivenom line in Game 5 was also genius. Love the one liners.
Ty :)
"And Viper screams across the world it's a bot diff baby" Next level commentating.
TY <3
Chills from that line tbh
Thanks, I appreciate you <3
