Why is PapaSmithy even here if I don’t get to know the average gold a team with Tristana and 2 ocean drakes have at 23 minutes into the game?

EXACTLY WHAT IM SAYING. WHY DID I HIRE THIS AMATEUR

Papa - Quickshot - Deficio was the dream but I won't push our luck, so hyped to have him here!

I did actually reach out to Deficio to see if he was able to cast, but he was booked this weekend. Maybe we have to do it another week in the LEC.

Hello from a long time fan.

I even made this thread about you years ago.

You've gone from strength to strength.

Woah 6 years ago and also my original FPS nickname! I'm impressed. Thank you for watching and supporting for so long!

I tried to a few years ago and it was missed by so many people. I tried a few cricket and rugby calls and those were also missed by most. I have to admit though, I didn't have quite as many followers and people didn't really know about my history as much as they do now. I suppose I could consider trying it again. What's on your shortlist? Boetie? Klap? Moer?

Quickshot once again I wanna comment on your own answer just to tell you how much I think you're a god at what you do, I've been thinking this yesterday when Fros made a Power Rangers reference and you managed to twist that reference to then make your game introduction sentence. You're honestly amazing and as much as I like the other casters, when you're on I know i'm gonna enjoy it a lot

<3 Thanks so much. I'm very fortunate to have my job, I am confident in my own abilities and also appreciative of the support we get. The fact is, if I can't keep your interest and your faith, you won't come back so the pressure is always on and I'd rather be able to have a discussion like this, than ostracise you and force you away.

What accent does he have? I've always struggled to place it.

I've got British Parents, but was born and raised in South Africa (JHB). I lived there for 22 years, but travelled a lot to the UK, I'm mostly British english but with a SAffa twang as it were. I don't quite sound like a pure bred South African, but I don't sound British either lol. I guess it's a weird one.

I want to clarify that Papa will be joining us for Week 7 only, as a guest on our broadcast and will be taking part in Ready Check, Analyst Desk, PGL and casting games. The LEC tweet implied it was AD only. There aint no way I'm bringing that man to EU and NOT getting myself some PapaShot time on broadcast. We will be casting together, and he will be casting with the rest of the caster team as well.

Comment

Just to clarify that Papasmithy will be a GUEST caster on our broadcast, much like the other guests that join us on a short term basis. He will cast, AD and join our Ready Check and PGL segments on both Friday and Saturday week 7. See ya there

Hey Quickshot, I had the pleasure to hear you cast live for the first time and chat with you at Rotterdam this spring! I've been tuning in since the EULCS days in 2013 and have heard your commentary for so long that I consider your casting to be the voice of European LoL. It was amazing to see you and your colleagues' energy on the broadcast live on stage!

The entire broadcast crew really have done a wonderful job this year - the rebrand absolutely transformed the league and made it all the more enjoyable to watch. As much as the EULCS was enjoyable I thought it closer to the NALCS' little sibling in terms of production and glamour until the rebrand; absolutely killed it in execution!

<3 you and the rest of the live broadcast crew!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this message. It made me happier than I can explain.

We will keep pushing ourselves to make the best possible show for anyone and everyone taht wants tow atch.

For what it's worth, I really dislike that, sorry.

I would much rather you all wore suits and ties. But then again, I am 38 and a married professional, so I suppose I am a fossile as far as esports are concerned.

Still watch the LEC religiously though.

I totally respect and appreciate your opinion, but trust me when I say that my 20 year old casters who have never worn a tie in their lives tries, it's better if they wear bomber jackets and tees.

At the end of the day, our fashion choices are taste, and if you like or dislike it, it's a minor factor of the show. Considering we are on camera for 10-15mins of every hour maximum, between player shots, gameplay, adverts, graphics etc. Fortunately the look of the show isn't the defining factor and most viewers can agree to that!

I am curious, was the fashion choice of dressing down the broadcasters a concious attempt at distincting themselves from NA, or a natural progression.

Personally I think the tone of fashion fits the LEC broadcast & the european attitude more. I think it helps add flair to the broadcast & give it a less corporate feeling - which makes more sense in Europe!

Would love some insight!

It's been something our office has been slowly working towards over the last year and a half. We've found a fantastic stlying team that help give each caster their own unique look, but also bringing down the suits and jackets as standard because it better reflects the individuals on air as well as our viewers at home.

This isn't tied to the LCS specifically, but more about defining our broadcast as unique and different. We don't wanna look like clones of every other esport, or even traditional sport, we are making our own product, our own decisions and trying to do it in a way that feels right for our fans and viewers. I'm glad you're liking it though and I hope this gives you some more context.

Thank you all for the support and feedback over the years. Without you guys tuning in to watch, we literally don't have jobs. We are building this together and it's amazing every step of the way. <3 you all.

Quickshot with Frosk is absolutely unbearable. That was hands down one of the worst cast all year.

Besides that. WONDERFUL game from MSF. Lider and H1Iva.

I'd love to know a few specifics as to why, what was it that you didn't like?

Comment

I got in my own head about the song. What I WANTED TO SAY

I Wunder how I Wunder why Claps teleported to make them die

I SHOULD HAVE JUST COMMITTED! I got in my own head that it wasn't good enough, added more words, and just messed up my original plan.

URGH I'm so pissed at myself.

Oh man I worried it was overly harsh, but I'm glad you guys enjoyed it.

I was just SO surprised - and someone below said that I was salty I was denied a team fight, it's so true, I WANTED ANOTHER BIG 5v5!!
