In terms of time frames, those are likely to change, but in terms of bringing guests in from other games or Leagues, that is 100% coming back in 2020. I fought really hard in 2018 to get a few guests on the show, then it worked and I got budget approved for the 2019 season and our guests worked out. The LEC really likes this element of our show and we want to bring it back next season, HOPEFULLY improving upon what we have learned this year.

Sadly.. there is an element of truth to this. I do not make the in depth stats on Quickstats Segments. The true brains there is /u/Barshnip

One thing though, I do have a pretty good head for all time records, longest games, shortest, quickest barons, record streaks etc. I very often ping stats team in game to verify numbers and I'm quite proud of my ability to 'feel' the magic stat :P Often times I am also right. I'm sure Connie can confirm that for me ;) RIGHT CONNIE?

Gamescom 2014, August 14th. I remember it vividly because it's my birthday, I had been casting League for Riot for over a year and a half and I was preparing for a showday, stood backstage and just had this epiphany... holy sh*t, I'm here, all the way from South Africa, my job is to actually cast League at Gamescom. I just started crying to myself out of surreal joy. I think that was when it really cemented in my mind that I made it.

That's legit how it happened too. How proud of me are you that I know what DM's are.

As part of my responsibilities I am directly responsible for the on-air talent team. Hiring, performance management, development of craft, expense approvals (Boo), budgetting etc. Think of it as any people manager position, but in addition to being a caster on the broadcast. It's a lot of work and I have a lot to learn, but I'm really thankful that I have such an amazing team to work with and that the LEC entrusted me with this ability to grow myself, and the team I work with.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I'll do my best to live up to them.

In terms of what I would be doing, something in sales or marketing. I have a Bcom in Marketing and Business management and used a lot of the principles I learned to help elevate who qu1ksh0t was when I started casting. I've always enjoyed talking to people, using my voice and telling stories, its my biggest strength.

Short answer yes!

I love any and all cheese, the smellier the better. A guilty pleasure of mine is to melt blue cheese on toast in the microwave. My house smells like feet, but it's so worth it.

One of the tools that we use I have lovingly called the caster remote. We write down key words on a piece of paper, generally next to the stats docs, graphics, stats or other prep the individuals bring into a cast. It kinda looks like this.

-Energy+

-On Screen+

-Team A+

-Team B+

We point at the plus / minus signs on the thing we think needs work, if someone is to hype and yelling too much, I point at -Energy and then they get the hint :D

Could you could give more context as to why? Any feedback is always welcome.

I've never been better than high gold, currently Silver 2. I'm not very good at the game and definitely don't see the intracacies that my colour casters do, but yes learning the game, how champions feel and watching pro players teaches me the theory, I just suck at putting it into practise.

/u/Barshnip Any chance you can help?

There will be photo ops sessions, but it's not 100% guaranteed that we will get to see everyone. Generally speaking at the end of each show day there is a chance that the teams / casters will come out and take photos. If however it's a 5 game series, that sometimes cuts the casters out, as we have to prepare for the Sunday show and get some rest. On Sundays if we have 5 games, then the venue restrictions mean we have to leave pretty quickly and break down the stage and tech.

Short answer is yes, there is a chance, but long form, don't build up expectations that this is the ONLY thing that will make the weekend enjoyable! With some luck and timing you can say hi!

My official work title is listed above, I have two roles. On broadcast I am a PBP, but I also manage the team, responsible for hiring, development off air and a few other responsibilities not directly related to the show!

And he got equal if not more flame than Laure did when he started. Always remember that, always remember that professionals work on all aspects of their craft, including accent.
