Interviewer one-on-one is cringe.
This was one of the best esports interviews I have ever seen, how the fuck was that cringe !?!?!
Now I wouldn't quite consider her Hot-Bid tier, but shes a hell of a lot better than the majority of people who are associated with DotA and do interviews.

Seriously, I'm really impressed with her. Usually the "I don't know about this game but I got hired as a host" person is so cringeworthy, but she sounds natural and seems to have a good rapport with people.
Agreed. But then again, she should be good at what she does. Apparently some Fox news anchor?
local fox news isnt as bad as national fox news though

Well they hired an actual professional who has spent time on television already, she feels comfortable and not at all awkward like other reporters.
I haven't heard the interviews yet, but I think this is a good way to do it as long as production can feed her decent questions through her in-ear monitor. She's a professional local morning news anchor for Fox News in Seattle, apparently:

Or draft an offlane tide that makes ganking weaver ezpz once he hits lvl 6. puppy draft won the game.
Pretty easy when Mushi gives you a free win by giving you 4 staple heroes for free, while drafting one of the greediest line-ups possible, with 2 supports that are gold dependent/level dependent farming in the same lane, and a hero that requires a ton of farm in LD.
The interview was fine. Room to improve, but it wasn't bad. Lucky she got Puppey for her first one though, he is an easy interview since he talks well.

Wtf
She laughed not to make the whole thing awkward and Sheever is actually at TI so she most probably met her. If only people like you would shut up sometimes

some people just whine about everything because they feel entitled for some reason.

i dont know how many esport events you watched but this woman is easily the least awkward female that ever covered a game she knew nothing about probably a week ago

While I think she did a very good job, I agree they should get someone who knows something about the game. If you want somebody who knows about the game AND is a cute girl, get Soe or Sheever at least.
Have you ever listened to a soe/sheever interview?

We get the panel for the dota knowledge, I feel this girl is to make the experience better for casual viewers (that can learn alongside her). I agree she's doing a great job.
