Of all the things that the LEC crew wanted to use me for when I was over there, this was definitely the one that needed the most explanation!
Filming this then the serious Euphoria episode with Drakos in one sitting was quite the trip.
Thanks for joining Papa and also thanks for not making me explain the concept to you before you agreed. :)
Read moreVedius is the heir to Deficio, one of the best on-air analysts and casters we have in the game. Medic is still rough around the edges but he brings fantastic energy and excitment to a cast. He's not as polished as for example, Captain Flowers but for the LEC it works well.
Drakos has made a home for himself in EU. He has bought in and is a welcome addition. I really appreciate his work on EUphoria, his promotional content, desk work and his other roles more than his casting. I also am torn on his work whenever he works with Frosk. Those two are clearly great friends, sometimes it bleeds over a bit too much. Their happiness can be infections but sometimes they go into their own little world and it strays from the original focus, almost always fun, sometimes less than relevant.
Frosk, we were lucky to get one of the absolute premier colour casters and analysts. A welcome addition who goes from strength to strength. Again I do occasionally lose interest when she work...
Sad to hear you don't like Ender. He is one of the hardest working and most passionate people I've had the pleasure of working with, I hope he grows on you.
True one up
Always nice to read something like this thank you.
Last split, i was so happy they went to Rotterdam for the finals, i jumped out of my chair.
unfortunately, i couldn't meet Fnatic nor G2, but met a lot of players (i even saw Amazing walking around)
My friend did get the chance to 1v1 Drakos as jax vs yasuo and won as well (i did tweet it, he liked it)
I hope that i get another shot one day to meet quickshot, froskurinn, Yamatocannon and several others someday.
CALM DOWN HASHINSHIN THAT 1v1 WAS CLOSE. (It wasn't) Glad you had a good time at finals! Hope you can meet everyone soon.
neeko zilean her w can deliver bombs to the enemy you guys should try it
Ohhhh, that's so toxic. I love it.
Ender and I play a lot of weird lanes.
My personal favorites:
Yasuo/Gragas
Irelia/Pyke
Viktor/Leona
Pyke/Alistar
Karma/Lux
I love everything about this. Whoever decided to go with this old school style is a genius.
Hijacking a bit just to clarify who did what:
One of the LEC content producers (Dennis) made the pitch, including the 90's theme.
I wrote all of my lines with a bit of help from the team here and there.
Flowers wrote his lines with some assistance from the broadcast writer in NA. (Elias)
Overall a huge EU/NA collaboration. Glad people are enjoying it.

Azael made us an amazing commercial and is forever welcome on the podcast, even if he represents a lesser region.
Enjoyed getting some perspectives from regional experts. Hope you all liked the episode. We will be back in summer.
This episode was an EXPERIENCE. Let me know what you thought!
Hey Reddit, I’m Daniel Drakos most of you probably know me as ‘Drakos’ and a select few may remember me from the days I was called Tsepha.
I’m a caster, host, and interviewer for the EU LCS. I joined the team in spring of 2016 and since then I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world working on everything from IWC to Worlds.
Today I’d like to talk about stuff. What stuff is ultimately up to all of you.
EU LCS and new rosters? We can do that. Want to know who this random is on your page full of stream highlights and Travis Gafford interviews? Ask away. When someone innevitably asks about booty or boobies, I may have an opinion.
Also I am generally in the pursuit of getting better at this whole casting/hosting thing so if you have any feedback or want to know more about the process of getting better as on-air talent, lemme know.
Fire away friends, I’ll start answering questions in an hour.
Update 1: Answered a couple questions. Back ...
