Think at one stage he was helping them in a coaching/analyst perspective but not sure if he does anymore.

Or replace Riv with anyone. -.- Jeezus it amazes me that he still has his job because if that's not tenure, I dunno wtf is.


Take a look at Reddit, apparently a lot of people like him. I mean he's a good general caster and hosting personality but he just adds absolutely nothing to the cast, even in terms of play by play.



That just baffles me because his comments comes across as not only someone who doesn't know how his own game works or even pay attention. There was one instance last week where Link burns Regi's Karthus flash in lane (and it gets highlighted on cam and Jatt even comments on it). Then a minute later a fight breaks out on top and Reginald ults and Rivington goes "oh Reginald must've flashed to make sure he was able to ult in safety because his flash is on cooldown". Like wtf man.

Kinda stupid that teams qualify for their promotion series into LCS 6 months before it actually happens.
In 6 months so much happens. Even many LCS teams have roster chnages in that time, amateur teams barely survive this long. Also the meta shifts, different teams become good etc.
6 months is just way too long of a time in the LoL pro scene.

Keep in mind that the average TL-LOLer has a higher understanding of the game than /r/LoLer.

You dont even need to have seen a LoL game ever to realize that many of his sentences make no sense whatsoever.

I tune out like 90% of the commentary. Does one mistake really you bother you guys? Riv's really good at adding excitement and energy to the game. Also OptimusTom and Phreak have this quirkiness that resonate well off each other. Tom and another caster wouldn't be as good I think.

This is the same Reddit that worships Destiny, guys. It's really just a giant storm of teenage emotions.

Thing is Riv doesn't just make gameplay mistakes. Sometimes he just makes sentences that don't make any sense. Like he's speaking English words but they mean different things than what the rest of the world thinks.

Tom has the Solocaster Syndrome where he talks 2 minutes without breathing and rarely engages his co-caster.

Holy shit that Dr. Pepper gaming house shit is still running. I remember that shit from like 2008-2009 when MLG still had good old WoW.

Dunno I like Riv, sure sometimes he rambles bullshit, but he's a decent play-by-play caster and brings to excitement and passion like nobody else among the casters ( ok maybe Deman)

but I can see why people would dislike him

Remember the commitment LCS is on players though. They have to totally uproot themselves and freeze everything else in their lives, 6 months warning is the least you can do.

Riv says a lot of unintentionally hilarious things but at least he has good diction, a suitable voice for casting and he doesn't hog the mic by talking alone for 5 minutes at a time. I'll take Riv over Quikshot or Tom any day.

The other thing is that his interaction with his co-caster never makes any sense. Like Jatt says something and then he says something completely unrelated that doesn't make any sense. A good play by play caster pulls information out of his colour caster but Riv just rambles on without any interaction.

As somebody else put it, Riv is what would happen if you'd programm an AI to spout phrases from other casters at random.

If they do promotion/relegation in October/November after Worlds, I think this qualifier timing is fine. If they wait until January 2014, I agree with Redox.

I'd rather they use outdated seedings in Jan/Feb than have teams qualify 3-4 months in advance considering how fast things change for challenger teams.

Man if only you were around during the MLG Halo / WoW days... we've seen some shit. I think 2 hours was the standard delay for the tournament to actually start.

The schedule says in 15 minutes though. This isn't delayed.
