EPT[IEM] Kiev Discussion - Page 155
| Forum Index > LoL Tournaments |
At any point of IEM Kiev, if you think of an interesting byline, please drop a sentence in the Pro Scene thread. (e.g. "Day 2: M5 hype was everything people expected") At the end of the month, I'll catalogue the results of Kiev but also any interesting facts or events that happen over the course of the tournament. Thanks. Neo, 20.1.2012 | ||

Anyone else been really impressed by Phreak's casting this tournament though? | ||

Why not split up the pairs and have a shoutcaster/commentator kinda stuff? Even if phreak and zenon arent progamers they still are good enough to fill the commentator role. These pairings just make no sense to me, thoughts? | ||

Both pairs have their strengths. :3 Deman: "After SK v M5, Oce was like "Oh, we should have banned GP and Shyvananana" and I was like yeah, I told you before hand. He he said "I know. But I didn't realise you were right!"" | ||

There is no day9, no apolo ect. Riot wanted to get there esports scene rolling so they provided commentators for the initial tournaments. Since they are the only really experianced commentators at this point they tend to get all the big spots since while some players can do it aswell there actualy playing games. Once replays gets added to the game I expect a caster scene to take off and riot commentators to be slowly phased out. Neither Joe nor Deman are Riot employees. | ||
