They all did a phenomenal job. The excitement and charisma that they brought is S tier. This is the first "major" and they brought so much to the table and really helped break down play by plays and analyzing during the match.

Having Sean and others do moment-by-moment IGL style comments on why teams are doing what they are doing is beyond helpful for a lot of people just wanting to understand the decisions of pro teams, but also for us casuals trying to really understand why they would do what they were doing.

Sean, DDk, Pansy, Mitch, Tombizz, Ballah, Riv, all the analysts and the observers, you did a phenomenal job with how chaotic this game can be compared to others and we all sincerely thank you.

Also props to all the streamers like Tarik, Kyedae, and PlatChat. Not only did they provide amazing analysis for everything that was going on, but they also had ex-pros or current pros, like Asuna, TenZ, Shroud, J9, that really helped elevate the intensity of the matches and why players made specific choices, why they did what they did, or why they faltered.

As someone that works a boring 9-5 from home, it was just so much fun. I feel like we owe a lot to everyone behind the scenes and in front of the cameras, as well as the amazing games from the teams.

Excited for 2022 :)

Observing was sketchy in some games and there's really no need for more than 3 casting duos (you know which ones).

As long as the pro players keep getting better at the game and the game gets more and more deep, observing with current tools only gets harder and harder. We'll continue to chip away at features to make the lives of our wonderfully talented observers & broadcast talent easier.

Is there a public roadmap of observing features currently being considered/developed? Observing and back end stuff is my favorite to keep tabs on

No, there's nothing public facing other than what gets posted in those ask riot blogs - I will say I'm excited for the stuff we're working on in 2022, but saying anything more than that is probably an overreach for my position.
