I'm sure he's a fantastic guy and I'm sure he has many great qualities. Casting, however, is not one of them

The amount of nonsense he's said this tourney is just unfathomable. Honestly, he may very well be a nice guy and I actually like his voice a lot, I just wish he could be a bit more with it during games.

Funny enough Riv has been casting for Riot since there first official broadcast. Its amazing how long hes been doing this without learning.

Deman/Jat/Joe tricast for life!


Riv has been with them for so long he even casted BW (Flash vs Jaedong) alongside Apollo at WCG 2010.

Which was an... interesting cast btw.

I am sure riv is a great guy who tries to help the scene grow but he is a shit caster.That is just a fact.

Khaldor? I think he's fine, although I can't listen to his accent, probably because your "own" accent always sounds the worst to yourself. I've kinda jumped on the fed up with Tasteless bandwagon lately, lol, which I'm pretty late to.

Xpeke looks sad...


I agree Tasteless isn't as good as he used to be.

Cut him some slack though, his been casting since forever :p.

Anyway, i'm clearly a terrible LoL player cause i'm okay with these casters :p.
I have no meta-game knowledge and don't even know all the item names :D.

I'm pretty sure he's just high or something. Normally he says some nonsense but it isn't too bad and he has nice excitement levels.

I remember being pretty high on Voyboy mid, but I think that was mostly due to the assassin meta. I don't think he does as well with the current pool of champs.

Well he literally just said in his interview that he's an extremely versatile player, and while I agree to a point I just don't understand Curse's roster making this season.

I don't think he's THAT versatile. And I was basically just rationalizing why I was okay with the decision at first. But I can't say I've been impressed recently.

Edit: Basically I'm eating crow and really thought Voy didn't suck Mid this much.

I just really don't understand trying to pick up a top laner and force him to mid instead of finding a mid laner, idk.

And IWD is and always has been extremely unimpressive to me.

If Crs also doesn't qualify you're pretty much fucked, aren't you?

Voy does two things well: assassins and splitpushing.

If that's versatile, then fking Westrice is versatile. <_<

I've been pissed with Curse since the Pobelter debacle. I'll still root for them in the Coke League if they stay together but it wouldn't be the end of the world. All board the EG.NA hype train, Pobelter or die.

It's because they picked up Quas as top laner. They had to force voyboy to go mid.

Cheers for the clearing up .

I'll take the comments about his casting with a grain of salt then :D

People love Deman, even though he's play-by-play.

What I don't like from Riv is that he hasn't been given a proper partner to do color commentary so he dips his feet in it with Phreak co-casting. Which doesn't work.
