NA has way too many casters lol. Two of them cast, three on analysis desk, Kobe not even on camera probably will do 5 minute interview at the end. They have to pay them for something, so thats the reason we are not seeing much player/coach interviews on analysis desk between games.

Iirc they basically set up the tryouts in a way that prevented players like yusui from actually getting a shot. It was basically between LOD and link

Riot is following the ESPN sports-casting model for their productions. I don't know how sports are cast in Europe usually, but have 2 play-by-play guys and a desk with 3-4 analysts to discuss the games afterward is an incredibly common production model for sports here in NA. It makes the entire cast seem 10X more professional than anything any other video game broadcast is doing.

It's all about perception, really, but I appreciate the effort to increase the professionalism. Remember, it was only a few years ago that nerds across the world were crying about casters wearing a blazer over their rumpled nerd T-shirt.
